Chapter 22 is the middle of the weakness
The old gentleman Alfred is also a masterpiece of a generation, as the so-called "heart is unhindered, there is no terror", with a pure heart of kindness and justice, even in the face of a crazy clown, a superman who is so powerful that he moves mountains and seas, he can do Tarzan collapse in front of him without changing his complexion, and still maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.
But the Demon Boy's threat hits him in the underbelly, causing Alfred to shudder.
Julia Pennyworth is the product of a romantic encounter between the old butler and the old butler on a business trip, just like Batman who likes to be a father, and the old butler only learned that he had an illegitimate daughter many years later.
Julia is in her prime, and Alfred is an old woman, who should normally be regarded as the jewel of his palm and the greatest consolation at the end of his life's journey, like a gift from God.
But it has been many years since he learned that his daughter existed, and the child had grown up without his father's care, and there was more or less resentment in his heart towards his father who abandoned her.
The old butler has no time to withdraw because he works for Batman, and besides, Batman has many enemies, and he is his right and left hand, if this secret is discovered by the supervillains, he will definitely use his daughter to threaten him.
So, for the sake of protecting his daughter, Alfred didn't even dare to contact Julia, and could only secretly watch from the sky by stealing surveillance by supercomputers, silently watching her growth.
The more he silently watched his daughter grow strong, independent and strong, the more guilty Alfred felt in his heart, and he only felt that he was so sorry for her.
Damien's threat is not just as simple as killing Julia, if he is just ruthless to kill Julia, the mysterious power that protects the good people in the dark will never sit idly by, and Julia may get the help of nobles to fight a bloody way out of the seemingly unsolvable desperate situation and find a glimmer of life.
You must know that Julia is not an idle person, she learned a good martial arts by chance, wearing a black tights that particularly highlights her good figure in Dongying, and she is actually a superhero when she has nothing to do with Dongying Yakuza on weekdays.
Sending handsome ninjas to kneel and lick this trick is very clever to avoid the interference of touching the invisible good guardian force in the underworld, the private lives of superheroes regardless of men and women are already very chaotic, and the interval between promoting justice is as simple as eating and drinking, and it is a wide and common pastime in the circle.
Think about it from another angle, if a large number of beautiful ninjas hook up with male superheroes, I am afraid that the kind guardian power in the dark will only eat popcorn and watch the drama happily, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and even add fuel and vinegar to help them get more illegitimate children and create more bad fate.
Damien in the original plot is the product of this kind of bad fate, let me ask Talia what punishment he received for becoming a fan of Batman? It's Batman who is really punished, and he has to put up with a super unlovable son who is messing around with him.
Could it be that if you change to a female superhero and are pursued by handsome ninjas, you violate the bottom line of morality and are very evil?
If the power of guarding goodness dares to define it in this way, then it is not feminist, does not pay attention to equality between men and women, is not true kindness, and is completely the work of feudal remnants, preaching evil male power and patriarchy, oppressing and discriminating against women, and running counter to the universal values of the Western world!
Sending a hundred handsome ninjas to take turns to hook up with Julia in a deceitful way is, in the eyes of Alfred, a conservative English gentleman, pushing his lovely daughter into a fire pit, which not only disgraces the Pennyworth family, but also completely ruins her life.
But from the perspective of a young Western woman who advocates freedom and X liberation, this is simply a super benefit of God rewarding handsome guys, and it is a good thing that you can't ask for!
The most important thing is that it is not illegal at all to do this, and the handsome guys are not greedy for Julia's money, and even with the full support of the boss behind the scenes, they can spend a lot of public money to please her, and throw money at her, which is not considered a fraud.
As for deception...... As long as Julia was willing at the time, it was a friendly match between the two people, and the police couldn't control it at all, and if they were all blind, then the hotels, nightclubs, and bars would all go out of business.
One of the most important rules of superheroes, in addition to not killing people at will, is to respect the law and not to put supernatural powers above the law.
Even if Alfred told Bruce Wayne or other superhero friends about it, it would be difficult for these people to help, and you can't just find someone to beat him up and kill your daughter because of him, which is against the law.
As for warning Julia to beware of those handsome guys who approach her with bad intentions, there is a good saying, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and the handsome ninjas of the League of Assassins will not wear ninja clothes when they hook up with her, who can tell the difference when they change into civilian clothes? Julia, who is in her prime, can't go without a boyfriend for the rest of her life in order to guard against emotional cheaters.
The happiest moment for a woman is the moment when she puts on her wedding dress and walks into the church with her beloved man, and the most comforting and sad moment for a father is the moment when he gives his daughter to another man.
The demon boy deprived Pennyworth of two of the most important and meaningful moments in his and daughter's lives at the same time, ruining Julia's happy life as a woman, but Alfred was helpless, and even all this was caused by him, as if he had ruined his daughter with his own hands!
Seeing that the old butler's face was getting worse and worse, Damian was afraid that he would be too angry with his heart attack, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Pennyworth, this matter is actually not a big deal, you don't have to go online, you feel as if you have betrayed someone and failed someone." ”
Alfred clutched his chest, gasped for breath, and said a little weakly, "What do you mean by that?" ”
The black-haired boy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is it considered stealing from my son when he takes his father's things?" Whether I steal Batman's things, or install a Trojan horse in his computer, it's just the housework of the Wayne family, you often think of yourself as a housekeeper, as a competent housekeeper, especially the housekeeper of a large family, the relationship between the father and son of the main family, is it you a housekeeper who should intervene? Telling me a secret has led to a violent conflict between me and Mr. Bruce Wayne, resulting in father-son feud and even cannibalism, do you want to see the end? Isn't this a wedge between our father and son? ”
"This ......"
The old butler lowered his head, frowned and thought about it.
"When I defected from the Assassin League, I could even kill Lars El Gul to prevent future troubles and completely control the Assassin Alliance, but I chose to save him and left him with enough property for his retirement."
The young man said calmly: "I can tolerate a demonic grandfather like him who wants to kill me as soon as possible, how can I have bad thoughts about my biological father?" Mr. Bruce and I are nothing but different from each other, and I have no personal vendettas, and I may be able to help him in the future. If you snitch and push our father and son to the point where we have to have a showdown, what good will it do to our already fragile father-son relationship? Mr. Bruce Wayne is busy enough, so let him worry less, it's also for his physical and mental health. ”
"Okay...... Master Damian. The old butler sighed deeply and said, "I promise you that you will not tell the master about this, but you must promise me that you will tell him about it in person when you have the opportunity in the future." ”
