Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 275 The Threatened Bruce

Starting from Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, the Wayne family began to focus on the ordinary residents of Gotham, hoping to use the power of the Wayne Group to make the residents of Gotham live better.

The idea is good, and the Wayne family has indeed done a lot of livelihood projects that don't make any money at all.

But the residents of Gotham aren't particularly thankful for the Wayne family.

It's not that the residents of Gotham don't know how to be grateful, but that the Wayne family is too rich.

how to say?

There is a saying in Gotham that the Wayne family is the real master of Gotham!
Although the Wayne family did not have the ambition to completely control Gotham, they couldn't stand the popularity of conspiracy theories.

Especially after the Wayne family began to intervene in unprofitable livelihood projects.

When Thomas Wayne took control of the Wayne Group, although most residents of Gotham didn't like the Wayne family, at least they didn't dislike the Wayne family too much.

But in Bruce's generation, the situation has changed.

In order to prevent others from associating himself with Batman, Bruce deliberately pretended to be a playboy who didn't know the sufferings of the world, and used various occasions to show his bohemian.

For ordinary people, the most annoying thing is the rich second generation.

In Gotham, Bruce is the most flamboyant and richest rich second generation.

Gotham residents can accept an ordinary person disguised as Batman to protect them, but it is difficult for them to accept that they are secretly protected by a bohemian rich second generation.

If only the residents of Gotham knew that Batman was Bruce.

Not only will they not thank Bruce, they will even lose confidence in Batman.

It's hard to build trust.

But if you want to destroy trust, you only need a suitable opportunity.

Although Bruce has many plans to deal with the speculation of "Bruce is Batman".

But in the plan he had prepared, there was no plan for dealing with his voluntary confession of identity.

"Mr. Wayne, you don't have much time to think!"

Lars exerted a little force with his right hand, causing the tip of the katana to pierce Alfred's skin, and a trace of blood flowed out.

Although the point of the samurai sword had pierced his skin, Alfred, who was stepped on by Lars, looked at Bruce kindly as if he didn't feel the pain.

Alfred said nothing.

However, after seeing the kind expression on his face, Bruce immediately had a bad feeling.

Alfred is indeed the housekeeper, but from another perspective, Alfred is no different from Bruce's father.

After his parents died, it was Alfred who took care of Bruce.

If anyone in this world knows Bruce best, it must be Alfred.

"do not want!"

After seeing Alfred's eyes, Bruce shook his head and said to him.

Bruce already guessed what Alfred was going to do.

Alfred showed a gratified smile, grabbed the samurai sword with both hands, and planned to let the samurai sword directly pierce his heart.

Although Alfred lacked the strength he had when he was young, he could still do it if he wanted to die.

Lars did not expect that Alfred would be so loyal to the Wayne family.

He would rather voluntarily give up his own life than allow Bruce to be threatened.

Accidents were accidents, Lars' reaction was not slow.

As soon as the samurai sword was stabbed down by Alfred, Lars' right hand suddenly exerted force.

laugh!
The sharp katana cut through Alfred's palm in an instant, breaking away from Alfred's control.

After drawing back the samurai sword, Lars kicked Alfred with his right foot, causing Alfred to lie down instead of lying down.

Then, stepping on Alfred with his right foot again, he pressed the blood-stained samurai sword against his back.

"Mr. Wayne, your butler is not very obedient!"

"If you can't decide, Mr. Wayne, let me help you decide."

Lars ignored Alfred and said to Bruce.

Looking at the bloody Alfred, Bruce didn't speak, and stretched his hands to the helmet, intending to automatically announce that he was Batman as Lars said.

Just as he was about to take off his helmet, Roy's voice came from outside.

"Your efficiency is not good."

"Can't you solve the defeated generals of the past?"

Roy said as he walked in from outside the study.

After sensing the breath of life of Lars, Alfred, and Bruce all appearing in the study, he knew that there was a high probability that Bruce would be manipulated by Lars.

Not to mention that the hostage is Alfred who has taken care of him since he was a child, even if it is a stranger he doesn't know, Bruce will be led by the nose by Lars.

Why are superheroes always led by the nose by supervillains?
It's not that supervillains are better than superheroes, it's that supervillains don't play by the rules, and superheroes have concerns.

So Roy never intended to be a superhero.

After hearing Roy's words, Bruce stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Roy.

For some reason, the moment he heard Roy's voice, he suddenly relaxed and no longer worried that Alfred would be killed by Lars.

Like Bruce, Lars' eyes were on Roy.

Although he didn't know Roy as well as Bruce, he knew who Roy was.

In other words, he knew that the Falcone family was destroyed by Roy.

What he didn't expect was why Roy appeared here.

After entering the study, Roy quickly looked at Alfred on the ground and Lars holding a samurai sword, and immediately understood the situation at the scene.

"Leave him to me."

Roy said to Bruce.

"it is good!"

Bruce replied immediately without any hesitation.

"You are 'Ninja Master' Lars, right?"

"Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, you actually think you can destroy Gotham within a week."

"However, one thing I'm sure of is that I don't like you at all."

"Seeing that you are Grandpa Damian, let me give you a personal suggestion."

"Let go of Ah Fu, and go back to the headquarters of the Shadow Warrior Alliance."

"If you cooperate obediently, I can spare your life and let you leave here alive."

Roy said to Lars.

what?
After hearing Roy's words, Lars' first reaction was that Roy was crazy.

He admitted that Roy did have some skills.

But he didn't think Roy would be his opponent.

Didn't it just destroy the Falcone family and the Court of Owls?
Nothing amazing!
Lars didn't speak, but the way he looked at Roy already gave his answer.

That is a look of disdain for an idiot!
"It seems that you don't accept my proposal very much. If so, then don't waste everyone's time."

After speaking, Roy raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

With the sound of snapping fingers, Lars immediately noticed something was wrong.

This is?

Lars, who was still full of disdain just now, suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.

Mind Control!

Roy didn't use any fancy abilities, but just used mind control to stabilize Lars.

After discovering that the power of the stars can be transformed into the power of the mind, he became more and more fond of the superpower of mind control.

Whether it is used to deal with opponents whose strength is far inferior to his own, or to fight against beings with similar strength to his own, mind control is a very useful superpower.

His mastery of mind control is definitely not as strong as Professor X's.

But compared with Professor X, he has an advantage that cannot be ignored.

That is his body is stronger!
Professor X's body is his greatest weakness.

Once encountering an enemy that is immune to mind control, or being approached by an enemy, Professor X will be in danger.

And Roy will not.

In other words, he wished that the enemy would take the initiative to come to him to die.

After stopping Lars, Roy said unhurriedly:

"You who have lived for hundreds of years should have been more cautious."

"Unfortunately, you didn't do that."

Under Roy's control, Lars lifted Alfred's right foot and put the samurai sword in front of his neck, looking as if he was about to kill himself.

Roy didn't completely cut off Lars' sense of the outside world, but forcibly deprived him of his body control, so that he could clearly see and feel what he was doing.

Bruce stepped forward quickly and helped Alfred with his injured hands.

Then, he said to Roy:

"What are you going to do with him?"

"How else to deal with it, kill it."

Roy replied.

Bruce hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded silently without saying anything.

If there were other options, he didn't want Roy to kill Lars.

But it's clear that Lars is not the type to be tried by the law.

After seeing Bruce's response, Roy snapped his fingers again.

In the next second, Lars was completely enveloped by the invisible and colorless Starfire.

He didn't torture Lars on purpose.

In just the blink of an eye, Lars was burned into nothingness by the fire of XingXiu, leaving nothing behind.

Not only Lars, but even the samurai sword in his hand evaporated and disappeared under the high temperature of XingXiu's fire.

Oops!

Forgot to check the specific location of "Lazarus' Pool" from his mind!
When Lars was burned into nothingness by the fire of the stars, Roy realized that he had forgotten to check Lars' memory in advance.

Although the pool of Lazarus is also an inferior version of Dionysus factor.

But no matter how bad the quality is, it is also the Dionysian factor.

Oversight!
Should not be!

Roy shook his head regretfully.

Bruce and Alfred didn't know what Roy was really thinking. After seeing his expression, they thought he was mourning the death of Lars.

"The other assassins in the manor have been killed by me. Bruce, do you plan to stay and deal with the aftermath with Ah Fu, or go back to the apartment with Jane Damian?"

Roy asked Bruce.

Although there was an episode where Lars and others invaded the Wayne Manor, he would never forget that Damian was still in the apartment.

Compared with Lars, he is more interested in Damian.

Because in addition to being Bruce's son, Damian is also the fifth-generation Robin in the comics.

However, in this universe, Damian is likely to be the first generation of Robin.

Neither Robin, nor the rest of the Bat-family has yet appeared.

"I'll follow you back to the apartment."

After looking at Alfred's injury, Bruce immediately replied.

Although Alfred's body is now stained with a lot of blood, his injury is not very serious.

"Okay, Thalia should be back at the apartment by now too."

After speaking, Roy created the star portal to the apartment in front of Bruce and Alfred.

When the Constellation portal took shape, he walked in first.

Bruce nodded towards Alfred, and followed Roy into the star portal.

apartment.

When Bruce followed him, Roy directly unlocked the star portal.

Although they left for a while, Damian did not run away, but stayed in the living room of the apartment very honestly.

To be precise, he stayed in the living room of the apartment with his mother Thalia.

After seeing Thalia, who was wearing casual clothes and sitting next to Damian, Bruce's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

Although after leaving the Shadow Warrior Alliance, he never saw Thalia again.

But that doesn't mean he's completely forgotten about Thalia.

Don't look at the usual Bruce looks like a bohemian playboy.

In fact, he is a very emotional person.

However, not everyone can be taken to heart by him.

Looking at Talia, who was no longer young, Bruce said slowly:

"Long time no see, are you... how are you doing?"

Although this is a very common question, it is somewhat inappropriate at this time.

"What do you think?"

Talia asked back.

amount……

After hearing Thalia's answer, Bruce was silent for a moment.

Seeing that Bruce didn't know how to reply, Roy sighed helplessly.

Meeting an old lover again is the most troublesome thing!
When Bruce was silent, Roy said:
"Lars invaded Wayne Manor with the members of the Shadow Warrior Alliance just now, and Bruce and I went back to deal with it."

"Whether it's Lars or anyone else, I have already killed them."

"If you don't want to stay in Gotham, you can go back immediately and take over the Shadow Warrior Alliance."

what?
After hearing Roy's words, Damian and Talia frowned at the same time.

Although Lars was their father and grandfather, none of them liked Lars very much.

In addition, they are well aware of the strength of Lars.

It was hard for them to imagine that Roy and Bruce killed Lars after only leaving for a short while.

"Are you sure he's really dead?"

"Does he have the ability to resurrect from the dead?"

Damian asked immediately.

"I know that he has soaked in the pool of Lazarus, has a self-healing ability far beyond ordinary people, and can even resurrect from the dead to a certain extent."

"But I'm pretty sure he's dead now."

Roy said with a determined face.

Not to mention that the pool of Lazarus is just an inferior version of Dionysus factor, even if it is the purest Dionysus factor, it is absolutely impossible for Lars, who was burned into nothingness by the fire of the stars, to come back to life.

The Dionysus Factor does not obey the laws of science very much, but his Starfire is even more unreasonable.
