Chapter 17: Batman's Condition

All the requirements? Red narrowed his eyes and looked at Batman with a sneer.

"Then if I want to erase all charges and come out of Arkham, will you agree?"

"No problem, your previous accusations were not substantiated in the first place."

Batman's answer was so crisp that there was no hesitation.

Red frowned slightly, he knew Batman's principles very well, even if he beat him to a serious injury, he wouldn't care. But killing the criminal with his own hands, this kind of behavior that violates the principle of non-killing should not be forgiven so easily.

There must be ghosts when things are abnormal, which makes Red more vigilant.

"I'm not done yet, I want you to promise not to be my enemy again in the future, whether it is direct or indirect means, neither I nor your followers, including those so-called superheroes."

"Yes, I can swear that as long as you don't kill again, I will never engage in any hostile acts against you - I have no absolute control over other people's actions, but I promise that as long as you are in Gotham, I will prevent anyone from doing your best to disadvantage you."

It doesn't sound like a verbal trap, which makes Red, who made the request, feel even more incredulous, and he wonders if he has comprehended hypnotism to mind control Batman.

"I want money."

"After that, I'll give you the maximum credit card of Wayne Bank, and I'll settle your bills every month."

"I want a woman."

"This involves other people's freedoms that are beyond my reach, but I can introduce you to great women."

"Wonder Woman and Supergirl?"

"If you wish...... I'll try to schedule, but I'm not sure if they'll have time to date. ”

Hell, is this guy really Batman and not someone in disguise?

Batman simply and decisively agreed to almost all of his requests, which made Red feel more and more numb, I am afraid that even Damian Wayne, his own son, has not been treated like this.

It seems that if he offers a stake in Wayne Group, or makes Batman belly dance, this guy may agree - he can't really be beaten by himself.

At this time, a faint moan sounded from the side, and the red hood that had just been hit by Red's cross shot on the torso was on the verge of death.

"If you have any other requests, please hurry up, Red. If you continue like this, you may have more casualties - everything I just promised is based on the premise that your kill list will not increase. ”

It seems that this is the end of his lion's big mouth, and Red frowned, as if he had almost thought about the conditions that he should mention or not.......

"Meow~~"

At this time, a pleasant cat meow broke the deadlock, and I saw that Lingxing had returned to Red's feet at some point, rubbing his calf, and looking up at him with shiny cat eyes.

Coming into contact with Lingxing's gaze, the battle intent on Red's body suddenly dropped a lot, and he remembered that at the critical juncture just now, it was Lingxing who helped him create a chance to make a move.

"And one last condition...... I need you to help me investigate a battle taking place near Earth, and this battle has something to do with the Green Lantern, so I need you to investigate privately, without going through the Justice League-"

Red sighed, stuck the amplified 4th-order katana in his hand into the ground, bent down and gently picked up Lingxing.

"And in case there's a Green Lantern...... Or the people associated with it, when you track us down, you have to hide our presence, which may make you fight your own companions, can you do that? ”

Looking at Red, whose momentum was in great contrast to just now, a hint of discoloration flashed in Batman's eyes, but he still pursed his lips and nodded.

"I promise you."

"Guarantees are not enough......"

"By the heavenly spirits of my parents."

Red's heart tightened, he knew the weight of this oath for Batman.

Batman conceded to such an extent that Red couldn't find a reason to refuse, after all, he was a berserker and not a madman, and there was no irreconcilable contradiction between him and Batman.

"I can promise a deal with you, but the problem is that they tried to kill me in the first place, and I was just defending myself...... You know, I don't want them to be a threat to me anymore. ”

β€œ...... Give me five minutes, Red...... I'll solve the problem, and I promise they won't come back to you after tonight. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Batman turned to look at Ms. Siva, who was panting and half-kneeling on the ground.

"Siva, I know your goal is only to fight stronger warriors, but-"

Siva narrowed his eyes, glanced thoughtfully at Red, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Forget it, it seems that this is the end of today's game. And Red Douglas...... I remember your name. ”

Then Siva just smiled meaningfully, and turned away without saying anything more.

After Batman saw Siva, he looked at Talia who was injured next to her, her body's self-healing ability seemed to be different from ordinary people, she had just been injured by a close-range explosion, and now she could barely stand up.

"I'll personally negotiate with your father later, and the League of Assassins must cancel the mission to anyone in Gotham."

Talia struggled to get up from the ground and stared at Batman grimly.

"This is difficult, the credibility of our League of Assassins ......"

"Assassins don't need reputation or credit, this was the first lesson your father taught me. I know your real purpose is to bring Red's body back to be transformed with the Pool of Lazarus, and I advise you to abandon this idea, as you should have seen, he is not a weapon you can control. ”

Talia's pupils shrank, and she squeezed out a charming smile.

"Alright then, I'll go back and explain the situation to the Master Ninja...... But he wouldn't necessarily agreeβ€”"

"Let him contact me later, and I'll naturally have a way to convince him."

After seeing Talia turn to leave, Batman looked at the red-hooded Jason Todd lying on the ground, and for the first time the eyes of the strong-willed man showed mixed and sad emotions, but it was only fleeting and he quickly regained his composure.

He pulled a small spray from his belt and sprayed it on the bloody cross scar on his chest.

Bruce ...... You don't have ......."

"I'm fine, don't talk yet."

Batman finally turned to the death knell, who had been the first to be defeated and had been watching the battle, but before he could speak, the latter had a relaxed face and simply raised his hands neatly.

"Okay, I surrender. I'm just collecting money to do things, and I don't care if the deposit is already in hand anyway. I have to say, it's really hard to do business now......"

Batman frowned, staring suspiciously at Deathknell and narrowing his eyes thoughtfully.

GCPD's sirens sounded in the distance, and the Spirit Star fluttered restlessly in Red's arms.

"It's okay Lingxing."

In the eyes of the others, Red looked like he was comforting the scared kitten in his arms, but in fact, only Red himself could hear what Lingxing was actually saying.

"Meow meow~" (Is this guy really credible?) I could smell the intrigue in him..... Just like that bastard named Senisto! οΌ‰

There is no need for Lingxing to remind him, and Red also knows very well that Batman must have left a back hand behind his back.

Trust is to Batman what parents are to Bruce Wayne, and may have existed before, but has long since been buried by the darkness of Gotham.

This man doesn't even trust himself, he has a basket of plans for his friends, Red never imagined that Batman would really help him, and it is estimated that in his Batcave, he has now set up a folder with the name "Red Douglas" written on it.

Not to mention that during the battle at Siannis Tower, Red revealed his true identity in order to defeat Batman - although the matter is now tacitly not mentioned by the two of them, Red does not believe that this suspicious man would let himself go so easily.

But for now, Red does need to buy some time, and maintaining a temporary peace with Batman and even the Justice League behind him can be said to be unattainable.

Red raised his hand and looked at the ring on his hand that was already full of cracks, just now he noticed that something was wrong with the Lantern Ring, it seemed that the more he used the Berserker-related abilities, the more obvious the crack in the Lantern Ring became.

What's even more bizarre is that red lines extend from the place where the fingers touch the lamp ring, as if the rhizome of a plant is like a special blood vessel.

There's also the newly discovered amplification ability......

I have to say that there are too many unsolved mysteries of his own strength.

"I need time, to gather more information...... In particular, it is necessary to understand one's own abilities. ”
