3. The old man of Star City
After making it clear that Tian Beiming was indeed not an enemy, Cyber left Gotham the next day.
As he said, he didn't care what Robin would choose, he was already an adult, he should have his own ideas, just told Robin to look at the daring Catherine and her "little devil gang", and then took Santals, Alwin and Chatson to Central City.
But this time, instead of taking the Devil's Gang's private jet, he drove the car to Star City and headed for Central City, because from Tian Beiming, he got a very important news.
"Can you be sure of the authenticity?"
Saibo sat in the back seat of the wide off-road vehicle with his eyes closed, and beside him, Xueba Alwyn pushed his glasses, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, and he whispered,
"At the moment, it seems that it is definitely Oliver Quinn, who disappeared from the sea five years ago, but if we only look at these newspapers, we can't get the specific address of the guy at all, and it seems that his mother protects him very well, and no personal information has leaked out. β
"Uh..."
Cyber breathed a sigh of relief as he opened his eyes, "Santa, Alwyn, how long will it take you to find his hideout?"
The skilled assassin who was driving snorted,
"A dude is just that, one day is enough, boss, we'll bring him to you!"
"Okay, I'll give you 1 day. β
Cyber said and closed his eyes again, "Xia Sen will go to Central City first, prepare in advance there, and we will rush over immediately after we deal with the affairs of Star City." β
Xia Sen nodded silently, this young man who originally hated the identity of mutants, and after experiencing the Battle of the Sanctuary in New York and the Hellgate Incident in Manhattan, he had fully accepted Cyber's statement, and began to hone his abilities with great energy, by the way, Xia Sen is a young man who has been following Cyber for a long time, and it has been almost half a year since he joined the Devil Gang, and he still didn't escape that round of contract storm.
But unlike other guys who choose handsome demons, as a top biology student at the State University of New York, he chose a very special demon, well... An otherworldly existence.
After the task assignment was completed, after entering Star City, the four of them dispersed, and Cyber drove alone, along the road that was already a little vague in his memory, all the way to speed, and after 20 minutes, stopped in front of an old house.
Through the sunglasses on his face, he could still see the garden in front of the house, which seemed to be the same as the last time he came, and through the window, he could still see the figure of the house busy, he leaned back in his seat, lit a cigarette, but did not smoke it, and when the cigarette burned out, he threw it on the ground, opened the car door, and walked towards the house.
"Ding Dong"
When the doorbell rang, the depressed Dinah Lorrell Lance paused, she subconsciously looked up at the time, it should still be afternoon, and it was still working time, who would come to visit her at this time?
But as a very polite prosecutor, she turned and opened the door, and then she saw the young man in a trench coat and sunglasses standing outside the door, Cyber took off his glasses, and with a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Lorel in front of him, who obviously still had an impression of Cyber, but couldn't remember his name.
"You are?"
"Seber, Seber Hawke, Christian TiΔ's family... I stopped by to see Officer Reims. β
Rorel remembered at once, this is the man who beat Oliver Quinn five years ago, by the way, he came with his dad at the time, but dad was already four years ago...
She smiled and welcomed Cyber into the room, brushing her hair and asking softly,
"My father and I went to Gotham when Uncle Christian died, but we didn't see you... Listen to little Catherine, you went to a far place?"
"yes, it's very far away. β
Sitting on the couch, Cyber whispered, "It's as far as hell... By the way, is Officer Lance there? I saw his car parked outside, and I remember you have a sister who isn't home either?"
This was just a casual question of etiquette, but Cyber didn't expect it, but another tragedy was revealed, and Rorel's expression became sad,
"My sister, Sarah, she... She's dead. β
"Huh?"
Cyber immediately reacted to his gaffe, his fingers twitching a few times on the table, "I'm sorry, I don't know..."
"It doesn't matter, it was already 5 years ago anyway. β
"Five years ago? Doesn't that mean it happened after we left Star City?"
Cyber frowned, and then heard Rorel grit his teeth, "Yes, and it's because of Oliver Quinn, the one who deserves to go to hell!
"What do you say? Oliver killed Sarah, but I heard that he disappeared in a shipwreck five years ago and didn't come back until three months ago... Could it be that Sarah is on that ship too?"
Cyber rubbed his forehead, "That girl was tricked into getting on the boat in the name of love?"
"That's all in the past. β
Lorel was obviously reluctant to say too much about the matter, but the pain that flashed in her eyes had already told Cyber the answer, so Cyber changed the subject, "Officer Narance must be very sad. β
"Yes, he's so sad that he's giving up on himself. β
Speaking of her father, in addition to sadness, Rorel was a little unnatural, she looked at Cyber's gaze, and finally sighed,
"Come with me, Cyber, he's in the room. β
A moment later, Cyber stood in front of the closed door, frowning, and surveying everything in the room, and in the darkness, Sheriff Quentin Lance, who had once been upright, was lying on the table in a very indecent manner, snoring lowly, and at his feet, there were all sorts of bottles of wine, and there were still remnants of wine on the table, and the floor was full of filth, and it was evident that he had been in this place for a long time.
"When the news of Sarah's disappearance came back, he was so sad. β
Lorel turned around in some pain, suppressed his crying, and said to Cyber, "He broke down at that time, and I knew that after my mother left him, we were his only relatives, but Sarah... Sarah broke his heart, again and again, he was going crazy during that time, but he finally survived, Sarah was just missing, she still had a chance to come back, that will held him up, but 3 months ago, Oliver Quinn came back and brought back the news of Sarah's death..."
"He finally collapsed, the lies that sustained life and will were pierced, and people were completely turned into a mess, but you were his last fetters, he couldn't give up on you, but he was entangled in pain, okay... All right. β
Cyber breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a poor man... Give me a moment, and I'll try to persuade him. β
He rolled up his sleeves and walked into the room, Rorel looked at him with some concern, "He's very stubborn!"
"Don't worry, girl. β
Cyber turned around and smiled at Rorel, "I'm good at persuading... Give me and your father a little personal space, okay?"
Lorel was obviously a little bit of a godless, especially when she saw Cyber's eyes that seemed to have turned black, and a voice sounded in her heart, urging her to leave it all to Cyber to deal with, this person seemed to be trustworthy.
"Well... All right. β
Lorel nodded, turned and closed the door, and the room was dark again.
"Quentin Lance!"
Seber reached out and lifted Officer Lance straight from his seat, this rude gesture woke the sheriff from his slumber, he opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Seber, couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, and said confusedly, "Get out!
"You want to drink to numb yourself and escape the reality that your daughter is dead and the culprit is at large, right?"
Cyber's words were like a knife, piercing directly into Sheriff Lance's heart, completely angering this once upright man, he grabbed Cyber's collar fiercely and yelled,
"What do you know! Bastard! You don't understand anything! Get out of here!"
"Bang"
Quentin Lance was smashed into the air by a punch and fell on the wine bottle on the ground in embarrassment, he was just an ordinary person, so Cyber also restrained his strength, so as not to kill him at once, but the power of this punch was still full, and Sheriff Lance was blinded, the good news is that the pain also woke him up from that drunken state, Cyber bent down and lifted him up again,
"If it weren't for my father's relationship, you think I would be in charge of you? Cowards like you are all over the world! Look at you, you look like an old dog who has been kicked and can only whimper and beg for mercy! You can't even protect your own daughter, and you still have the face to drink here! Don't you like to drink? Okay! I'll let you drink enough!"
With a flick of Cyber's left hand, a bottle was placed in the space of a sandalwood fan, and he took out the high-concentration alcohol used for disinfection, and with a slight break of his fingers, he broke the mouth of the bottle and poured it down in Lance's face!
This is a high concentration of medical alcohol, even the strongest alcoholic can't stand this, Quentin only lasted less than 2 seconds, then struggled desperately, the reddest got rid of Cyber's clamps, fell to the ground, he was completely sober, there was a clear fist mark on the left cheek, and blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking very miserable.
"Who are you! Bastard! Wait, you're old Tick's godson! You're Cyber, right? I remember you!"
Lance rubbed his face wildly, he looked at Cyber, his miserable face was full of anger, but then it turned to a touch of sadness, this middle-aged man ended up like a child who had lost his most beloved thing, curled up in the corner, covering his face with his fingers, as if unwilling to accept this painful reality.
"What can I do?"
"I'm the policing of this city! I can't break my duty... Every day I watch the bastard who killed my daughter swagger through the market, and I want to shoot him... But I can't... I can't do that! I've lost a daughter, I can't afford to lose another, and I don't want the next time Lorrell testifies is the father she's always looked up to..."
"What can I do?
Seber stepped forward and wiped the alcohol from his hands on Lance's clothes, his deep voice ringing out in the darkness,
"Listen to me, Monsieur Lance, you are the policing of this city, which is a noble profession, but you are also the father of your daughters, and you have a natural duty to protect them, but now, look at you, you have neither protected your daughter, nor punished a damned wicked man... You see, he killed your daughter, didn't he? Then he's a murderer! a criminal! a scoundrel who deserves to eat guns!"
"When you kill him, you're keeping order in the city, so that more poor girls don't fall into his trap, aren't you?
Cyber whispered in Sheriff Lance's ear,
"Don't forget, Lorel was also that scumbag's girlfriend, didn't you? Do you think that scumbag would let Lorel go? Do you still want him to hurt your only remaining daughter?"
"You know that when you face a wild dog barking at you, any concession you give will only allow it to hurt you with impunity, only give it a stick and a bullet in the face... In order to prevent you from being hurt, you are too weak, Lance, Quentin Lance, you are not planted now, or is your will to protect your daughter really just talking?"
"No! I'm not!"
Lance's eyes widened to the extreme, like a beast that wants to choose people to devour, "I'm not! Whoever dares to hurt Rorel, I'll make him regret coming into this world!"
"That's right! That's right! That's Daddy's friend, always putting the safety of his family above all else!"
Seber patted Sheriff Lance on the shoulder with satisfaction, and the tone changed, "But he's already hurt, hasn't he? Don't forget, he abandoned Lorel first, hooked up with your Sarah, and killed her in the end! He'd hurt her a long time ago, he hurt your two daughters! Oh my God! Can you still tolerate such a bastard to live?"
"Are you still a good father?"
With this sentence, Cyber used a trace of dark power with the Eye of Repentance to slightly stimulate Lance's spirit, and at this most vulnerable time, Cyber's words were like the last sparks bursting into a bucket of gasoline that had been opened.
"I'm going to kill him!
Lance clenched his fists, and Cyber took out a black, cold pistol from his arms and stuffed it into Lance's hand, "Don't worry... He'll be caught soon, and at that point, I'll hand him over to you... The scum who has hurt your loved ones, what qualifications does he have to live in this world?"
"The time for revenge is coming!"
"DiDi Di Di"
As he spoke, Cyber's cell phone rang, and he picked it up with a frown and put it to his ear.
"Alwyn is wounded, huh, an arrow-wielding man in a green hood?"
He put down his phone, and a strange light flashed in his eyes,
"Hehe... That's interesting. β
