Chapter 323 A Battleground Between Two Women (New volume released, reading speed suddenly slowed down, sob, please continue reading)
An airship is floating above the metropolis, bearing a message about protecting the environment. The message essentially says that rats and other species cannot be allowed to proliferate and disrupt the ecological balance, and calls on the government to carry out a concentrated extermination of these environmentally harmful species.
Such a claim seems normal, or even not that radical. The airship was legally flying over the metropolis for publicity, and the pilot in charge even had a full license.
However, considering that the airship was manufactured by the Shadow Warriors Alliance and the promotional title was written by "Ninja Master" Lei Xiao AEUG, the definition of "other species" in the title about "hunting other species" may include humans.
(Note: The DC supervillain "Master Ninja," also known as Lars Al Gur, is Batman's mentor and enemy. His name is "The Demon Lord." 700 years ago, he accidentally discovered the Lazarus Pits and gained immortality after immersing himself in them. He then founded the League of Shadows, recruiting skilled fighters worldwide and training them to be his servants who are loyal only to him.)
Before Batman and Talia had an affair, he was one of his most feared enemies; after Batman and Talia had an affair, he became the father-in-law who beat up his own son-in-law.
At this moment, inside the airship, Talia sat in the main seat of the cabin, with a monitor in front of her.
Little Damian squatted nearby, playing with a sharp sword and a teddy bear.
"I can't stand it!!!"
With Talia's shout, with a hiss, little Damian plunged the sword into the teddy bear's belly. He gestured, then pulled it out, and then stabbed it several more times.
Damian carefully inserted the teddy bear along the gaps in the bone, even though the teddy bear didn't have bones. But opportunities to stab real people didn't come every day; it was good enough if Damian got a humanoid creature to stab.
As a person, one should know how to be content.
Little bear, so cute! Cut the artery, then the vein...
"Seriously, are you kidding me?"
Little Damian, holding the sword, first straightened the teddy bear, then raised the sword. With a flash of light, the teddy bear was neatly sliced into eight pieces and destroyed on the spot.
Damian reluctantly sheathed his sword. Sigh, toys just don't last long; they can't run, they can't jump, and they don't even burst like tomato sauce.
I really want to find a live one to play with.
He raised his sword again and quickly sliced the teddy bear, which had been split into eight pieces, into small pieces.
"Ah!!!"
Talia was still calling out, even sounding somewhat noisy.
Young Damian Wayne stared at his mother with dead fish eyes.
She was wearing a red evening gown that seemed unsuitable for combat, clutching her long, flowing, dark brown hair like a waterfall, and staring at the monitor with a frantic expression.
The video above is currently showing Wonder Woman and Batman on a date.
"My Batman!"
Damian sensed something was off; this wasn't like the mother he usually knew. Whenever Batman, his father, was mentioned, his mother would become somewhat neurotic, then stammer and whine like an abandoned, resentful woman—it was too strange, far too strange.
Of course, Damian didn't mean that his mother couldn't have deep feelings for his father. He just found it hard to imagine that his mother, who usually trained him so well, would show such an expression for his father. It was completely different from her usual behavior. Unless a person suffers from schizophrenia or is deliberately pretending, it is impossible for them to behave so drastically in different situations.
Damian was quite certain that his mother wasn't mentally unstable, so... was it possible that she was faking it? But if his mother wanted to fake it, who was she trying to fool?
"Waaaaah... We haven't seen each other for almost seven years—I can't accept this!"
Damian withdrew his gaze.
Perhaps he was overthinking it. After all, in the short six years of his life since birth, his mother had never mentioned his father to him before this time when she said she would take him to see his father, which made him think for a time that he had sprung from a stone.
Since there is no case like "the mother's previous attitude towards the father" to compare against, it is difficult to prove that the mother's attitude towards the father is abnormal this time.
Therefore, since the principle of innocence applies, Damian does not intend to draw any arbitrary conclusions.
And more importantly... if his mother is faking it, then there must be a reason he doesn't know, so he shouldn't expose her.
Talia glanced at the clever Damian out of the corner of her eye, then continued speaking to the television screen:
"I can't accept this!!! Batman's lover must be Talia, the female leader of the League of Shadows, the founder of Leviathan—not some Amazon dressed in a swimsuit like a stage actress!"
(Note: The Leviathan mentioned here is a criminal organization under DC Comics, a split faction of the League of Assassins, led by Talia El Gur, daughter of Ninja Master Rashomon.)
At that moment, the following image flashed through Talia's mind:
Batman, like a typical 80s "American tough guy," sits on the sofa with a coffee in hand, surrounded by a playful Batman and Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman, dressed in her uniform and apron, is cooking and says, "Honey, can you keep an eye on the kids?" Then Batman yells, "Damian! Don't bother little Diana—"
Or worse:
Wonder Woman looks like she's from the 80s... Batman, dressed in a uniform and apron, is cooking while saying, "Honey, can..." Then Wonder Woman shouts, "Little Diana! Don't bother Damian—"
Or something even more terrifying:
Batman kneels down before Wonder Woman:
"will you marry me?"
"Of course, the love of my life!"
Then the two of them exchanged saliva.
This is terrifying!
Just imagining such a scene made Talia tremble all over!
"Listen to me, assassins!"
She jumped to her feet: "The cloaked warriors and Amazons will have countless enemies!"
She cried out:
"Leviathan strikes!"
As she shouted, several figures emerged from the shadows behind the mother and son, bowing slightly to Talia: "Chief."
"Kill the Amazons and bring me the Cloaked Warrior. Do you understand my orders?"
"Yes," everyone answered in unison.
Talia said, "Listen! I want my beloved to live; you mustn't harm a single hair on his head, understand?"
"Yes."
"Also, my love is a man overflowing with compassion. When you capture them, you can't hurt any civilians, or my love will blame me. Before you act, you need to clear the area, scare away all the other unrelated people, and make sure no civilians are injured in the attack, understand?"
The crowd in the shadows hesitated for half a second, then spoke in a scattered manner:
"Yes."
"It absolutely must be done, understand?"
"Understood, Chief."
"Very good!" Talia nodded, then, with an impatient expression, pulled Damian up:
"I'll show that heartless bastard what he's got to do with his son behind my back...
Muttering to herself, she half-protected, half-pulled Damian away from her group of "subordinates":
"I'll go down first, you guys follow. This time, we're going to teach the Amazons a lesson!"
After Talia left, the group of people in the shadows exchanged glances.
"Brain Demon, what are Lady Talia's thoughts?"
(Note: Brain Demon, Dr. Simon Jones, is a member of the Terror Five, a villainous organization within DC, and possesses telepathy, telekinesis, and genius-level intelligence.)
One of the figures in the shadows asked in a low voice.
The brain demon recalled the absurd scene it had just witnessed in Talia's mind, something about Wonder Woman and Batman exchanging saliva and starting a family...
It's all just the delusions of a petty woman; there's not a single piece of valuable information.
While it's not impossible for him to delve deeper into the other person's mind to obtain more information, it's clear that this cannot be done without the other person's awareness.
He shook his head:
"She was filled with jealousy towards Wonder Woman. She wished she were sitting next to Batman right now."
"That's good."
The man who asked the question said, "So what are you waiting for, everyone? Go carry out the leader's orders. Remember to scare away those innocent civilians first, then deal with Batman. Let's get moving, after all..."
"We are Lady Talia's most loyal subordinates!"
……
……
……
"What are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing Wonder Woman's question, Chen Tao snapped out of his reverie and quickly began stirring the drink in front of him.
At that moment, they were sitting at a table by the transparent window of a street-side restaurant in the metropolis.
Although Chen Tao was fully capable of booking out the most prestigious restaurants in the metropolis, he might prefer these more down-to-earth places to those ethereal venues.
And most importantly...
Wonder Woman turned her head and looked through the glass window. She saw a couple exchanging saliva on the street next door.
See, that's why Alfred chose this place.
"I was just thinking about Green Lantern Hal," she heard Batman say to him. "Maybe interfering with his mind was wrong of me. To be honest, I'm not the kind of person who can't admit my mistakes."
He reflected on himself, saying, "I played a word game, pretending that I had his permission to 'alter his thoughts,' but in reality, it was just me deceiving myself and pretending that my actions had not crossed the line."
She heard Batman say, "Hal is definitely angry, which is why he didn't even bother to fight me and went straight to Oa."
Wonder Woman pursed her lips.
You really do miss Hal dearly, huh? What's that slang saying again? "A mischievous little girl gets candy."
She said, "Yes, yes, Hal must hate you to death."
"real?"
Then she saw Batman's expression and couldn't help but cover her forehead: "It's fake. In the end, it's a good story. Hal knows his own personality, and he won't blame you."
"But before he left Earth, he met his girlfriend Carol and his father-in-law, but he didn't meet me."
Wonder Woman slapped her forehead: "You're spying on Hal again! You never learn. If he hates being watched, you shouldn't be doing it."
She muttered, "I shouldn't have come to comfort you."
"I wasn't spying on Hal," Chen Tao argued. "I was only spying on Carol and her father."
It's even worse now.
Wonder Woman just felt exhausted.
"Because there was a guy named Hector Hammond (Chapter 233) who was pursuing Carol, but Carol rejected him and got together with Hal," Chen Tao explained. "He might turn his love into hatred and harm Carol and Hal. Especially after his brain was mutated due to the influence of Green Lantern Abin Sue's spaceship."
Chen Tao wasn't exaggerating. Dr. Hector Hammond was one of the Green Lantern's regular villains. Not only did he become the host of the Orange Lantern monster "Desire Python" in "White Day," just like Blood Bull before him, but he also played the main villain in the 2011 Green Lantern live-action movie in his previous life. Although that movie was a complete flop and was even considered a black mark on the film's history by its star, Ryan Reynolds, who even tortured himself repeatedly after playing Deadpool in an attempt to erase that history, this was enough to prove the threat this villain posed.
This is why Chen Tao went to great lengths to monitor Hal Jordan's girlfriend, Carol. He really didn't want Hal to go to space to become a policeman, only to return to find his girlfriend's entire family murdered, causing him to turn to the dark side and start the plot of "Jade Twilight"...
Anything can happen in the Dark Multiverse, it's unbearable!
Sigh, I, this old bat, am really worried sick.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You were doing this to protect Carol, Hal will understand," Wonder Woman comforted him instead.
"Everyone else can understand your decision. Even though you may have done a lot of things behind our backs, no one will blame you for it."
The food at the shop was served around this time, and the two ate and chatted.
"...What? Tim got an A in math, and he even participated in...?"
"He even beat up a classmate at school last time, causing..."
"Don't even mention it. He keeps saying he wants to be Robin, but he has parents. You can't be Robin if your parents are still alive."
"I can't bear to see him die one day..."
"...or perhaps watch his parents get into danger far beyond his control because of his Robin career..."
"...all sorts of things...I've always wanted to retire..."
"That's why I'm always monitoring this and that; I have to make sure..."
Before Chen Tao could finish speaking, Wonder Woman suddenly stood up and took out a round shield and a sheathed sword from her backpack, leaving everyone else in the restaurant looking on with bewildered expressions.
"Someone's coming," she told Chen Tao. "A large group of people, it's extremely dangerous."
"I felt it too," Chen Tao said.
He also stood up.
A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the restaurant door was flung open.
Talia swayed in, followed by a large group of dark-skinned henchmen, and around her were countless screaming people fleeing from the windows.
She looked breathtakingly beautiful in that red evening gown.
She didn't even glance at Wonder Woman, but walked straight up to Chen Tao.
"Long time no see, my love."
she says.
