276. Family inheritance
Although Roy didn't say how he killed Lars, after hearing his answer, neither Damian nor Talia doubted him.
It's not because they particularly trust Roy, but because Bruce doesn't contradict it.
They don't know Roy very well, but they know Bruce.
Since Bruce didn't open his mouth to deny it, it means that what Roy said is true.
Damian and Talia looked at each other.
Although it was their father and grandfather who died, they did not have much sadness.
On the one hand, it's because their relationship with Lars isn't very good in the first place.
On the other hand, it is because they grew up in the Shadow Warrior Alliance, and they are used to seeing life and death.
The day they became the Shadow Warrior Alliance Assassins, they were ready to leave this world at any time.
Of course, they are also ready to accept the death of their companions at any time.
After seeing Damian and Talia's expressions, Roy guessed that they didn't have much affection for Lars.
"Now that he's dead, there's no need for the Shadow Warrior Alliance to continue to exist."
"Later, I will go back and completely dissolve the Shadow Warrior Alliance."
Talia spoke.
"Uh-huh!"
Bruce nodded back.
"Why go back later, I can go back with you now, I don't want to stay in Gotham, I hate this city."
Damian said quickly.
It's fine that he doesn't speak.
As soon as he finished speaking, Talia gave him a look of "shut up".
Then, he continued to say to Bruce:
"I'll go back and deal with the matter of the Shadow Warrior Alliance."
"After I'm gone, I want you to help me take care of Damian."
What?
After hearing Talia's words, Bruce and Damian showed surprised expressions at the same time.
Damian, in particular, showed an expression of "I don't need to be taken care of by him".
"If you want him to stay, I can take care of him for a while."
Bruce said slowly.
Although he had never been a father, and he never imagined that he would have a son who was about to become an adult, he was not particularly averse to staying with Damian.
How so?
Accident to accident, after knowing that Damian is his son, he does have the idea of leaving Damian and taking care of Damian himself.
Although I don't know if I can be a good father, no matter what, it will be better than Damian to continue to stay in the Shadow Warrior Alliance.
He did not doubt that Thalia would teach Damian well.
But living in the Shadow Warrior Alliance, it is impossible for Damian not to be affected in any way.
"I'm not talking to you!"
"One of the reasons I'm coming to Gotham is because I'm leaving you in the care of Bruce."
Talia said to Damian with a stern expression.
"Why?"
"Am I not doing well enough?"
"If yes, I can change it!"
Damian said quickly.
"You didn't do anything wrong."
Talia continued.
"Then why can't I go back?"
Damian continued.
Although Damian's face was full of reluctance, Talia didn't continue to speak, just showed him a non-negotiable expression.
Seeing Talia's expression, Damian stood up with a swipe and said loudly:
"I don't need anyone else to take care of me, I can take care of myself!"
With that, Damian walked towards the door in a rage, as if I would never accept this arrangement.
Damien showed his reluctance with practical actions.
But alas, his reluctance did not make any sense.
He hadn't taken a few steps before Bruce and Talia struck at the same time.
While both of them prevented Damian from leaving, Bruce and Talia took a completely different approach.
Bruce just wanted Damian to stay so he could continue to convince him.
And Talia is not as polite as Bruce.
When Bruce grabs Damian by the shoulder and tries to keep him, Talia slashes him with a ferocious knife.
Without Bruce's restraints, Damian might not have been able to escape Talia's knife.
But alas, he has already been grabbed by the shoulders by Bruce.
With limited mobility, he was unable to resist Talia's hand knife, and was hit in the back of the neck by Talia without any suspense.
Damian would never have imagined that Talia, who had always been gentle, would be so resolute now.
Before he could do anything, he was knocked unconscious by Talia's hand knife and completely unconscious.
Not only did Damian not expect it, but Bruce also didn't expect that of course, the gentle and kind Talia actually had such a resolute side.
As Damian fell uncontrollably to the ground, Bruce grabbed Damian and prevented him from coming into close contact with the ground.
"You take him back to Wayne Manor."
"If I feel the right time, I'll come back and take him."
"If I don't come back, then you'll always take care of him."
After saying that, Talia did not hesitate, turned around and left.
Is it so decisive?
After seeing Talia turn around and leave without hesitation, Roy suddenly felt that he had underestimated Talia.
As a mother, she would be so decisive to leave her son who was raised by herself, which is not something that anyone can do.
Although this does not mean that they will not have the opportunity to meet in the future, this is still not something that ordinary people can do.
Looking at the back of Talia leaving, Bruce wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When he first met Talia, he knew that Thalia was the kind of person who would never change easily once he made a decision.
Although it is not known why Talia arranged it this way, he believes in Talia.
Soon, Talia left the apartment.
"Are you going to take him back to Wayne Manor?"
"If so, I can help you open the portal back to the manor."
Roy said to Bruce.
"No, I'm not going to take him back to the manor just yet."
"Ah Fu is still dealing with the aftermath at the manor, and taking him back now will only make it more troublesome."
"By the way, you have superpowers in the psychic realm, can you discourage him from leaving Gotham?"
Bruce asked at Roy.
Although Roy didn't tell him much that he had mastered the power of the mind, Bruce was not blind, and even if he didn't, Bruce could guess.
"I can indeed use my psychic abilities to discourage him from leaving Gotham."
"It's not a good idea, though."
"If he knows you're asking me to do this, the relationship between the two of you will only get worse."
"Talia probably doesn't want you to keep Damien this way."
Roy said with a serious face.
It wasn't too difficult for him to use his psychic power to dispel Damian from leaving Gotham.
Whether it's a simple psychic suggestion, or a direct change to Damian's subconscious mind to make him willingly stay by Bruce's side, it's simple.
But the problem is that if you do this, Damian doesn't know if it's okay.
Once Damian knew, he would only hate Bruce more.
"Do you have any other good ways to do it?"
"According to his current personality, as soon as he wakes up, he will definitely find a way to leave secretly."
Bruce continued.
"There's no particularly good way to do it."
"But I have a suggestion that you can listen to."
Roy said slowly.
"What advice?"
Bruce asked hurriedly.
"It's simple, just let him experience the wealth and power of the Wayne family."
"You should know very well what a boy of his age would like."
"You just have to let him live the life you experienced when you were younger."
"Although I dare not say that it is 100% effective, there is a great chance that he will be willing to stay."
Roy said with a smile.
The method he offers, to put it simply, is to let Damian enjoy the life of a rich man.
Although he didn't know where the headquarters of the Shadow Warrior Alliance was, one thing he was sure of was that the material life that the Shadow Warrior Alliance could provide was definitely not a luxury.
To put it another way, Damien is like a poor boy who grew up in the backwoods.
If you want a poor boy to stay willingly, the simplest and rude way is to let him experience the prosperity of the world.
Not to mention that Damian is still underage, and even if he is, he may not be able to withstand the sugar-coated shells of a luxurious life.
It's not about education, it's about human nature!
"Are you sure it's going to work?"
Bruce asked, frowning.
"There should be, anyway, I haven't seen a minor who can resist the temptation of a luxurious life."
"Besides, it doesn't matter if you fail, it just proves that Damian is an extremely determined child, which is a good thing."
Roy said with a smile.
Although there is some truth in what he says, Bruce still feels that it is not good to lure Damian to stay with a luxurious life.
"Well, then do as you say, and see if he stays because of the luxury."
Bruce said slowly.
"Hmm!"
"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."
"If you have any other questions, you can contact me then."
After speaking, Roy didn't say a word, and directly flashed and disappeared.
The Kyle Group.
Chairman's Office.
Instead of flashing back to his president's office, Roy flashed and teleported to Serena's chairman's office.
As soon as he arrived at the chairman's office, he heard Selina humming a little song happily.
"It seems that you, the chairman, are having a very happy day today!"
Roy walked up to Serena and said to Selina.
After hearing his words, Selina, who was resting leisurely on the back of the chair with her eyes closed, immediately opened her big eyes and said quickly:
"Why are you here?"
"All the paperwork done?"
Roy sighed helplessly and said slowly:
"It's been dealt with a long time ago, do you have anything else to do now?"
"If not, let's go to lunch now."
After throwing the day-to-day work of the group to him, Selina was completely idle.
Although there were still documents that she needed to sign, all she needed to do was to sign.
Because those documents have already been reviewed by Roy.
Unless she had a different opinion, she would simply have to sign her name at the end of the document.
"Okay, let's go to lunch now, what do you want to eat, I'll ask people to make a reservation for the restaurant."
Selina said quickly.
"Don't bother so much, just go to a nearby restaurant."
Roy replied.
Near the Kyle Building, there is a restaurant belonging to the Kyle Group.
Although in normal times, this restaurant also entertains other guests.
But more often than not, this restaurant is the equivalent of Kyle Group's business partner restaurant.
The vast majority of the restaurant's guests are either partners of the Kyle Group or employees of the Kyle Group.
Of course, the employees who can go to this restaurant to eat are all middle and high-level in a sense.
Real grassroots employees can only pay for themselves like ordinary guests.
"You can do it if you don't have an opinion."
After saying that, Selina quickly got up, picked up the handbag that was put aside, quickly came to Roy, and grabbed his right arm.
More than ten minutes later.
Roy and Selina arrive at this restaurant, which has a deep cooperation with the Kyle Group.
After ordering a few random things, Roy handed the menu to the waiter and said slowly:
"Here's a bottle of 47-year-old Cheval Blanc dry red, wake up for half an hour and bring it up."
"Let's start with a bottle of Romanée Conti."
"Yes, sir!"
The waiter replied respectfully.
Although he didn't know what Roy was, he knew Selina who was sitting across from Roy.
What's more, he knew how much the two bottles of red wine Roy had just ordered were worth.
Let's put it this way, the price of those two bottles of red wine is almost a year's salary.
In addition, just look at Selina's attitude towards Roy to know that his identity is simple and not simple.
He could only think of one man who could make Selina show such intimacy.
That's the real owner behind the Kyle Group.
Although he, like everyone else, knew that there was a real owner behind the Kyle Group, he didn't know who this person was, only vaguely knew that it was a man.
When the waiter left, Roy said to Selina:
"This morning, Bruce made a call to me."
He gave a brief account of what happened this morning.
After listening to his story, Selina looked at him with surprise on her face, and said with some incredulity:
"You mean, Bruce has a son who is about to become an adult?"
"Hmm!"
Roy replied.
"Doesn't that mean that the Wayne family has a new heir?"
Selina continued.
"If nothing else, yes."
"But it's hard to say whether Damian will inherit the Wayne family."
"With Bruce's character, the wealth of the Wayne family may not be left to Damian."
Roy said with a smile.
Unlike other wealthy people, Bruce is not particularly interested in the so-called family inheritance.
Otherwise, he would have had many descendants, and he would not be alone by now.
If something really happens, maybe if he wants to leave an inheritance, Bruce is likely to donate the Wayne family's wealth.
It's not a very rich practice, but it's a very blues approach.
"That's right!"
"If he hadn't needed the Wayne family's wealth to maintain Batman's equipment right now, I guess he would have donated the Wayne family's wealth to some charity fund a long time ago."
Selina nodded approvingly.
