In Mason's surprised gaze, in the face of the reprimand and lesson of the powerful old lady, the little madman who clenched his fists as if he was going to prepare a heavy punch with him actually relented after a few seconds of looking at each other.

He bowed his head and gave a depressed answer, and then left the office under the guidance of the penguin butler.

This kind of obedience and well-behaved that should never have appeared on Damian surprised Mason, and he sighed in his heart that this was really a thing to a thing, and Damian, who was raised by Lei Xiaogu with a cruel "parenting concept" since he was a child, really ate this set.

But then, he noticed that the old lady's cold gaze fell on him.

Thomas Wayne stared at Mason, his hands crossed over his chin, and in a certain commander's signature gesture he said:

"You must leave this world with Damian immediately, Mason.

Not just because it's about to go to a bad stage, but because my 'peers' will soon notice you, and it's not just me hunting you. ”

"You're almost writing on your face the idea that when you encounter them, you'll throw me out as cannon fodder."

Mason pouted.

He said:

"We'll go, but not now. We can't go until we reach certain goals, and you don't have to think about my own safety, I just need a few more days of weakness to recover. ”

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the gloomy city again, and after a moment he sighed and said:

"But the world is as angry as you are, Thomas, and I can feel the cold malice in its face as I stand here, probably because it has lost its 'child of the world' and has become furious.

But what I'm more puzzled about is who was the speedster who took Barry Allen away just now?

Is that one of your companions too? ”

"No, he's not."

Thomas Wayne picked up the pistol in front of him and said:

"All I know is that he's also an outsider, he's killed a lot of people who have been chasing him, and there's traces of him all over the world, and he seems to be looking for something, but now it seems like he's not in the same league as you."

"Conqueror?"

The thought popped through Mason's mind in an instant.

Ciri, the Hunter, had told him when she issued the mission that she was not sure if the higher authorities had sent conquerors to the world that was about to be destroyed, but now it seemed that the worst had come true.

At least one of the Speedsters was sent here ahead of Team K, and Barry Allen, who had followed Mason, helped Team K carry out the tank.

Let's hope Flash survives.

Mason blinked, and a new plan began to sketch out in his mind.

However, since the old lady Thomas Wayne was going to take Damian to meet someone after dark, Mason, as Damian's "temporary guardian", naturally asked to accompany him.

In the face of this request, Old Lady Thomas did not refuse.

However, when he set off a few hours later, the action of the penguin butler putting a large number of weapons into the trunk of Thomas's luxury car surprised Damian, who had changed into a children's suit.

He said to the old lady, who seemed to maintain a blank face all the time:

"Where is this going? Why even anti-tank rockets have to be loaded into it? Is this going to attack a military base? ”

"Just be prepared."

The old lady sat in the car and closed her eyes to recuperate, and said casually:

"After all, the place you have to go is dangerous. Amanda Waller's subordinates have been picking out the daring cannon fodder among them, and I don't want to deal with them.

But if we can't avoid it, we have to be prepared. ”

The door of the black luxury car was opened the next moment, and Mason sat in the passenger seat, he glanced at the old lady and Damian in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and asked softly:

"What's going on with the eye of the sky in this world? Are they loyal to the government? ”

"I've never had much contact with them."

The old lady closed her eyes and said:

"But I know that that group is not friendly to either Atlantis or the Amazons, and they have been preparing for a war that could spread.

Many villains have been co-opted, and Amanda manipulates them in supposedly nasty ways. They have a research facility on the East Coast, where they are said to conduct various experiments in a large-scale attempt to create super-soldiers. ”

"Do you know the location of the base where Tianyan will conduct human trials?"

The penguin butler quickly drove the three of them towards the outskirts of Gotham City, and Mason, who was holding a small notebook on the way, asked again:

"And those rumors about alien orphans that have been circulating here, I'm interested in these things."

"That's your business."

Thomas looked out the window and said in an unkind tone:

"If you want to know, find out for yourself, you're not a kid anymore, Mason, I'm not responsible for answering any of your curiosities."

"He's just looking for Superman."

Damian, who was sitting next to the old lady, whispered and said:

"It was a bloodline from Krypton, extremely powerful enough to destroy a world by himself, and Mason suspected that there was also a superhuman in this world.

And to be honest, I've met Wonder Woman and Aquaman's people, and now I've met Batman, which would be disappointing if there wasn't Superman.

After all, in our world, Superman and Batman are good friends who talk about everything.

I think if it weren't for the gender incompatibility, the relationship between the two of them would be so good that they would get married on the spot, so what would be the matter between Catwoman and my mother? ”

"Really?"

The old lady snorted and said nothing more.

The cold old man didn't seem to be interested in the topic at all.

Mason and Damian exchanged covert glances.

He leaned on the co-pilot and began to contact Catwoman and her party using the team communication, and in the quiet car, Damian took over the task of finding out the news, and began to ask Thomas Wayne something in a whisper.

The little madman who inherited the bloodline of Batman and the King of Assassins is very smart.

His super-intelligence, though not yet fully discovered, is definitely a genius, and this little thing just doesn't use his cleverness for the right thing most of the time.

Mason eavesdropped on the conversation between the "grandfather and grandson" in the back of the car, and after a few minutes of contacting his teammates, he rubbed his ears and whispered:

"Selena, are you okay over there?"

"Okay."

At this time, Catwoman, who is resting in a quaint but luxurious bath on Paradise Island, seems to be asleep, but in fact has been vigilantly observing her surroundings.

She replied in a lazy tone:

"We took out the Black Manta Ray, the commander of the seamen, with a successful sneak attack on that island.

This victory allowed Queen Diana to give us three official 'honorary Amazons' status, and also to woo us as the lead party when they invaded the human world.

Taliana's stinky fox can't be idle, and it will still be pulling people on Paradise Island.

And your not-so-sane little cutie Halle Quinn has gone crazy, jumping up and down the island and training and hunting with the Amazon warriors.

It's not like a dangerous world adventure at all, it's like a trip. ”

Mason listened to Catwoman's debriefing and glanced in the rearview mirror again.

Seeing Thomas who was whispering to Damian, the Vengeance Knight had a very keen sense, and in an instant he looked up at Mason, and the young man smiled at him and then said to the messenger:

"Looks like you're lurking pretty well. Can you reach Atlantis? ”

"I'm not in charge of that."

Selena snorted and replied:

"Talia has the power to communicate with that side, and she's always guarding against me, and that nasty woman is secretly directing her teammates. I hate to admit it, but they're much better than we were back then.

The success of ambushing the black manta rays this time was all thanks to the help of those three bad species, and I heard that they also relied on the deep-sea bloodline of the shark king to successfully collect a bunch of remnants. ”

"Then please tell Talia that she's still a member of Team K."

Mason said softly:

"If she wants to make things herself, she will wait until she completes her first pioneering mission, and I am in command in this world at the moment, and if she plans to set up another portal, please let me know in advance.

So that I can be prepared. ”

"You're going to bang her?"

Selena was immediately interested, but Mason shook her head and corrected:

"No, I just wanted to tell her that I need this information to see the big picture, and if she is determined to make her own decisions, then I am not responsible for her and her team's safety."

"Isn't this just a beating?"

Catwoman snorted and said happily:

"I'm going to relay Master Mason's orders, and I hope you'll teach the woman who jumped up and down a lesson. However, Harley didn't have enough medicine to carry, and her spirit was already unstable, so I was afraid something might happen if she stayed here.

Why don't I send her to you first? ”

"You're on Paradise Island, half a world away from here."

Mason asks rhetorically:

"How are you going to get here?"

"The Amazons have a peculiar 'Hermes rune' that is very fast, and we just used that thing to get back to Paradise Island from the East Coast in ten minutes."

Catwoman explains:

"Relying on our current status as an 'honorary Amazon', we can also use that thing, you give me a specific location, and I'll send Harley away.

She kept complaining on the road that she was going to kiss you tonight."

Selena asked with a wry smile:

"Yo, so you like this style, no wonder my old aunt is not attractive to you, Mason, but I warn you, sleeping neurosis is a crime."

"You also know that she is not thinking normally, can you believe what she says?"

Mason complained.

At the same time, the fast luxury car has also driven out of Gotham's downtown area. Mason glanced at the destination ahead of him, turned back to Old Lady Thomas, and said:

"This is going to Arkham Asylum?"

"Any questions?"

The old lady asked with a cold face, and Mason shrugged his shoulders and said:

"No, it's no problem, I'll just ask. I had a hunch that I might not be able to participate in the rest of the event, and it just so happened that I had a friend coming over, so I stayed outside and waited for you to go back together.

Please take care of Damian for me in the meantime, okay? ”

"Go ahead."

The old lady waved her hand.

This action matched his sitting posture in the dark at this time, as well as the peculiar temperament of the anti-hero who mixed in the underworld in the early years and later became a criminal slaughterer, quite a feeling of a big man.

Mason gave Damian a "you're blessed" look, then pulled over to the side of the road and opened the door to watch the car move on.

The young man stood on the side of the road and took out a pack of Sika cigarettes, popped out another one, lit it in the dark and smoked it.

He looked at the luxury car that disappeared from sight, shook his head and complained:

"My poor Damien, you may think it's amazing enough to have a 'vengeful knight' descend from the sky to become your grandfather, but you still don't know anything about 'surprises'.

Enjoy the rest of the journey, and I don't want to deal with Mr. J anymore.

Hmm, no!

In the case of this world, it should be Mrs. J. who is right. ”

——

The Batman of this world is a bit miserable, and there is no cool Batmobile to drive.

But the old lady clearly had good taste, and the luxury car she chose was not only high-class in appearance but also quite fast, and it stopped at the front door of Arkham Asylum soon after Mason left.

"Where are we going?"

Thomas took Damian out of the car, and the little madman looked at the building in front of him, which was bigger and darker than the other world, and suddenly remembered the strange look in Mason's eyes before he left, and asked with some concern:

"You're not going to lock me up here and claim to protect me, are you? It sounds like something Batman can do. ”

"Your child's imagination is really rich, but unfortunately it is not rich enough."

The old lady sighed and handed Damian a mask and motioned for him to follow.

The penguin housekeeper stayed by the luxury car and waited.

He pinched an old-fashioned pipe for a treat, but he had the penguin umbrella Mason had given him earlier, and within a few hours of his arrival, Steward Oswald had become more and more proficient in using it.

It's like Kryptonite has finally drawn his destined "exclusive weapon".

The grandfather and grandson walked into the gloomy madhouse, and Thomas had said that this madhouse was a place where the eye of the sky would be used to select cannon fodder, and after entering it, you could see a lot of people in military uniforms busy in it.

But the old lady was obviously deceiving Mason when he said that he didn't have much to do with them.

The soldiers here are very familiar with him, and many people take the initiative to greet the old lady, and in Damian's opinion, there is even a feeling of flattery.

Probably because Thomas Wayne opened a casino in the local area and was very good at being a person, although the old lady always had a cold face, he was quite popular among these guys with "special hobbies".

The two were not hindered, and made their way to the bottom of Arkham Asylum.

It is also commonly known as the VIP area.

But the further he went, the more ominous Damian's feelings became, and the old lady still didn't want to say a word, but Damian noticed that a certain emotion in his eyes became more and more low.

It's sad, it's like resistance, and there's even a feeling of disgust when you're close to something you're afraid of.

After a few more minutes, the two stood in front of a five-locked ward, and Thomas glanced at Damian, who was beside him, and he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, saying:

"Are you there?"

"I've always been, my dear Thomas."

A hoarse voice soon rang out from the hospital room.

It was a woman's voice, which sounded no longer young, and she seemed to be pleased with the old lady's arrival, and said in a cheerful tone in her elongated voice:

"I've been waiting for you to come and see me, you ruthless man, I know you've always missed my smile, it was me who didn't do it right, I scared you.

But not anymore.

I've been learning makeup all these years.

I can now draw very good makeup, it's the one who smiles all the time, and I've been waiting for you to come and see me.

My Thomas.

Wait a minute, I'll be putting on my makeup right away."

"You'd better clean up."

Thomas Wayne closed his eyes and said in a tone that was forced to endure discomfort:

"I brought a guest to meet you, and I don't think you want to scare him yourself."

"Guest?"

The people in the ward were stunned for a moment, and their tones were raised a few degrees.

She screamed:

"Nope! There shouldn't be any guests! I don't want to see outsiders, everyone else but you are villains, they all deserve to die! They killed my baby.

I don't know who is secretly doing the bad.

But it doesn't matter, no one can hurt us anymore when we kill them all, Thomas, you hear me out, I have a plan, a great plan.

As long as you help me, we can take out the others!

And then

Then we will be able to live together happily ever after. ”

"Calm down, your crazy look is uncomfortable."

The old lady whispered:

"The guest I brought with me is named Damien Wayne, and he's from another world. I confirmed his identity, he was indeed Bruce's son.

This is our little grandson.

I brought him to see you.

Martha. ”
