30. When I was a child and grew up

"I know people like you are stubborn."

Leo's eyelids drooped, and his sharp gaze seemed to be a little helpless.

Honestly, he wants Oliver Quinn to grant his request and return to his family after learning all the truth.

In Leo's view, this is also a happy ending.

Playing as a vigilante or a hero always comes at a heavy cost or under a lot of pressure.

Beneath the cape and mask of every superhero, there is too much sadness and pain hidden.

Calm and sane, Batman will never forget that night in Crime Alley.

The superman of the body of steel has always been an orphan of Krypton.

The Flash, who is enough to cross the shackles of time and space, is destined to not save his mother's life.

After coming to this world, the more information he learned, the more determined Leo became in his inner thoughts.

He gave up the opportunity to side with the Justice League and chose another bumpy path.

Be a celestial body surrounded by stars, not a crowd of heroes.

This is the future that Leo envisioned after learning about the world.

"So let's go straight and talk about a deal? Use John Diggle and your fate next as a bargaining chip. ”

Leo no longer wanted to convince Oliver Quinn, he already knew that the odds were low.

A rich second generation who survived on Purgatory Island, mastered superb archery skills under the guidance of his teacher, and after careful training by Slade, who had not yet become a death knell, he had really seen blood killing, and was proficient in hand-to-hand combat and combat skills.

These painful or torturous past experiences have long since completely changed Oliver Quinn, making his heart as solid as a rock and he will never give up easily.

"No matter what you do, John Diggle can't avoid jail time, even if another vigilante pops up. My conditions are simple, two months of vigilante leave, throw away your bow and hooded uniform, and be Oliver Quinn back, and in return - John Diggle will not be sent to Iron Mountain Prison, but will continue to have a free life. ”

"You're so generous!"

Oliver sneered, his eyes under the hood full of contempt.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why Diggle was caught by mistake has something to do with you, right?"

The vigilante suppressed the anger in his heart, and if it weren't for his fear of the mysterious archer in the dark, he would have used Leo as a target for his arrows.

"Of course. It was I who leaked the news to the Star City Police Department and had him restrained - but she misunderstood what I meant, and accidentally injured your bodyguard. Personally, I'm sorry about that. ”

Leo shrugged, his tone a little helpless.

What did he think of as "temporarily incapacitating him" as Ms. Siva was to break more than a dozen ribs, resulting in severe soft tissue contusions and shoulder dislocations.

As for why John Diggle fell into a coma?

That's because the fight was so intense that he ended up being hit in the temple, resulting in a moderate concussion.

"You're honest."

Oliver couldn't help but sarcastically.

If it weren't for the intervention of the guy in front of him, he would have perfectly implemented his plan, cleared his suspicions, and successfully cut off contact with the vigilantes.

Where could there be so many incidents, and Diggle was put in it!

"I'm not like you, who always puts myself in the shoes of a law enforcer, a defender of justice. Shouldn't it be normal for a villain like me to do something bad? ”

Leo smiled calmly, and this answer left Oliver speechless.

In the past, he met the villains and capitalists, who were more or less unwilling to face the ugly side of their hearts, and always whitewashed their behavior, which is one of the complex human natures.

"Accept yourself, it's not a bad thing. Okay, let's get down to business, Oliver Quinn, how about this deal? ”

Leo raised his eyebrows, his eyes calmly looking at the vigilante.

The face under the hood was cloudy, and his fists clenched subconsciously, and then quickly released them.

An invisible pressure hung over Oliver, who seemed to be back on the brutal and savage island of Purgatory, facing new choices every moment.

If you are not careful, you may lose your own life or that of your partner.

At this moment, Oliver's mind flashed the figures of many people, including his teacher Yao Fei, Slade who fought side by side, and Shaduo, who had sincere feelings......

The wavering heart gradually calmed down, and he suddenly raised his bow and arrows, and drew the bowstring, and the whole process was done in one go and moved quickly.

Boom!

A dull thud was accompanied by a sharp screech, and the metal arrows grazed Leo's cheeks, nailed deep into the distribution box behind him.

"That's my answer!"

Oliver sped away without looking back, and since he chose to become a vigilante, he would not give up because of someone's threat.

My father, who shot himself, often said that sometimes taking a step back means never being able to move forward.

Looking at the figure disappearing under the night sky, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, and there was neither disappointment nor annoyance in his eyes.

"Is that what you expected?"

After a while, the footsteps of Ms. Siva rang out, holding a Delta compound bow in her right hand.

If Leo wanted to kill Oliver Quinn, all he had to do was wave his hand, and Senhan's cold arrow would shoot out of the darkness.

Even though the other party was a master of archery and proficient in archery, Ms. Siwa did not think that the vigilante would be able to escape her hunt.

This is a victorious battle, which brings confidence and confidence.

"Guess it, vigilantes, heroes, these people are always stubborn, like the villains and villains who have strong beliefs, they all think that what they hold on to is right."

Leo's pursed lips loosened, as if relieved.

"Then why come to see Oliver Quinn, you're all ready for the killing blow."

Ms. Siva didn't quite understand, and she squinted her eyes with a slight dangerous light.

Before Oliver Quinn left, when he shot that arrow, he could easily have pierced his throat if Leo had given the order.

In fact, she really wanted to do the same.

"When I was a kid, I dreamed of being like Oliver Quinn, silently walking in the darkness as a guardian of a city."

Leo's voice was full of emotion, those superheroes who should have existed in the memories of their previous lives, how radiant and desirable they looked.

"Later I realized that these people may be respectable and admirable, but they are not the kind of people I really want to be. I don't have the self-sacrificing spirit for others, and the rule of survival that my father taught is to grab more power, get the most benefit, stand at the top of the human pyramid, and change the world as a leader. ”

"I only identify with some of these elitist ideas. Sandra, I'm not an indecisive person, and the reason why I found Oliver Quinn twice is because after him, I would meet more vigilantes and superheroes like this. ”

"I wanted to do a little experiment on him and see if I could convince these people...... Now that I've failed, it turns out that the line between black and white is so clear. I'm glad that since I can't be them, and I can't identify with them, then - kick out these stumbling blocks that are holding me back! ”

Leo closed his eyes and tilted his head, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

The smile on his face widened, and the corners of his mouth were almost presumptuous, like a silent wild laugh.

Ms. Siwa stared at the young face, Leo at this moment, as if he had become one with the deep night.
