Chapter 41: Bruce's Decision

Martha relied on the Wayne Group's wealth to pay off a large part of her debts.

A plot of land in the middle of Gotham City, a lavishly furnished villa, a small stake in the Wayne Group, a lot of luxuries, and the most unexpected thing Alec...... Well, maybe that's not the right thing to say, she introduced Alec to a beautiful woman. According to Martha, this sexy and tall American girl came to contact Alec of her own volition.

Her name is Caroline Karfin.

Interestingly, judging by the results of the detection of lies, this is not her real name.

Alec used Probe the first time, but to his surprise, his spell failed and he didn't get any feedback.

It was a situation he had never encountered.

With the blessing of the ring, his detection magic can be described as invincible, even if it is a lord-level devil, detection can give him some vague information. But this time, his spell seemed to sink into the sea, and he didn't make a soundβ€”this was a very rare occurrence, which showed that the woman in front of him had completely destroyed his spell with her own magic resistance alone.

There is something wrong with this woman.

Alec immediately put her into the ranks of "ulterior motives".

He only met Superman Clark yesterday, and today, a girl with strong magic power comes to be his girlfriend, no matter how you look at it, it's too much of a coincidence. He never believed in any coincidences, he preferred to believe that it was arranged in advance.

…………

The next day, Alec avoided everyone and wandered the streets of Gotham again.

In just one day, he harvested more than a dozen souls.

There were a lot more criminals in the city than he could have imagined. In just one day, Alec saw more than a dozen crimes in the city, such as robbery, ****, threats, bribery, and drug trafficking, and most of these criminals died at his hands. Of course, there are a few others left by him, and these are all members of the Gotham City gang, through which he can dig up more prey.

Alec never worries about killing all the bad guys, these villains are like leeks, harvesting and growing again.

It's a little later.

Alec was ready to rest, but Martha brought Bruce to his room.

She wanted Bruce to learn spells.

Alec didn't give an immediate answer, but after pulling Martha apart, he asked Bruce alone, "Is this what you think?" ”

Bruce nodded: "Yes, I want to learn spells." ”

"Why?"

"Strength." Bruce looked calm, "Only with strength can you protect everything you cherish, and only then can you be qualified to pursue your goals." ”

Alec smiled and asked, "Because of your parents?" ”

"Sort of." A hint of hatred flashed in Bruce's eyes, "I watched them get killed, but I couldn't do anything...... I'm too weak to even deal with a robber. I figured if I could use spells, none of this would happen. ”

Alec was silent for a long time.

Martha's resurrection and his own appearance had a great impact on Bruce, and the most intuitive manifestation of this influence was that he chose a different path.

He wants to be a spellcaster?

A Batman in a black batsuit who throws fireballs seems to be ...... Not bad too?

"Bruce, have you figured it out?"

Bruce nodded.

Alec thought for a moment and said, "I'll prepare something to help you test your talent." But Bruce, learning spells doesn't come with hard work and sweat, and if you don't have talent, no amount of effort will be in vain...... I say this in the hope that you will be mentally prepared, and if the result of the test is that you are not suitable for learning spells, then I hope you give up as soon as possible. There are many ways to gain power, and learning spells isn't the only option, you know? ”

"Also, I want to remind you that learning spells is expensive."

"You may feel that you have paid a great price to resurrect Martha. But I'm telling you, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of learning spells...... In many cases, just a spell experiment costs ten times more resources than resurrecting her, and the result of the experiment may fail. ”

Bruce's face turned a little pale: "I understand. ”

Alec clapped his hands and called Martha in: "Since you've all figured it out, I'll get things ready in the next few days...... Is there anything else you guys are up to? If not, I'll rest. ”

Martha struggled: "Mr. Alec, I want to take the assignment from you. ”

"Oh?" Alec was a little surprised, "Martha, I want to warn you that vampires are not a very strong race...... I know what you think, you feel like you've become a vampire with great speed, strength, reflexes, and recovery. But what I'm trying to say is that as a vampire, you're afraid of light, you hate garlic, you're burned by silver, you're afraid of verbena, and that's all terrible flaws. If you handle it properly, an ordinary person can deal with you, and you are far less powerful than you think. ”

Martha's brows furrowed: "But I can't hide in Wayne's mansion for the rest of my life...... What's more, although Mr. Alec helped us get rid of a lot of debt, the Wayne family still needs to pay five hundred souls. Bruce is too small, and the pressure should be on me, not him. ”

Alec frowned.

"You want to rely on tasks to pay off the rest of your debts?"

Martha nodded: "Yes, I don't want to turn myself into a waste." ”

Alec waved his hand irritably: "I see, you wait!" ”

Martha and Bruce nodded and left.

……

Alec rubbed his brow vigorously.

When he invested in Bruce, he didn't think about Martha at all, after all, he had his eye on the future Batman, not a weak vampire...... He did prepare some missions, but they were for Batman, not his mother Martha.

If Martha died, how else could he control Bruce Wayne?

Bloodsucker...... Bloodsucker......

After a long time, Alec sighed faintly.

The vampire race is not weak, but his resurrection of Martha's blood is not of high rank.

If she didn't find a way to raise Martha's bloodline level, no matter how hard she tried, it would be just a matter of nothing.

Alec quickly puts Martha's affairs behind him, and he begins to think about Bruce. This kid didn't know who was instigating, but he actually came up with the idea of learning spells...... As a human, the conditions under which he learns spells are much harsher. As long as the devil has a talent for spells and devours enough souls, he can advance, but wizards, ninety percent of wizards stay in the apprentice class until they die.

Alec felt that if Batman, whom he had secretly bet on, ended up as a scrapwood wizard apprentice, he would go crazy.
