Chapter 103: Poison gas passes through the lungs, and the evildoers retreat
As Donton spoke, the world in his eyes was changing rapidly.

Starting from Lucius and Bruce being transformed into containers, all kinds of equipment around them gradually turned into refrigerators and storage rooms.

Even the fear bomb in Donton's hand turned into a box of yogurt.

Looking at the yogurt in his hand, Donton grinned.

"That's it? It's not enough!

My nerves have long become much tougher than those of ordinary people, so the potion that is supposed to scare people can only remind me of some past events that may not be that good, but are definitely worth remembering!"

After he finished speaking, Donton threw the fear potion away.

On the opposite side, Lucius and Bruce looked at each other as they saw Downton, who was slightly affected but did not look frightened at all. Then Lucius shook his head dejectedly.

"It's clear, Bruce, that every part of his body is beyond the limits of an average human being, including his nerves.

Our plan for the fear poison has not even begun, but it seems to have ended!"

"Do not."

Listening to Lucius' words, Bruce shook his head quietly.

“Although the current medicine is not very effective, he has indeed been affected, which proves that this thing is at least effective on him.

Next, we can extract and purify the medicine more deeply to maximize its power and duration of effectiveness.

Of course, in addition to this, we must prepare more plans for him..."

"Shut up, container! Don't ruin my business!"

On the side, Donton suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two containers in his sight, and then waved at the containers.

"I'm just reminiscing about the past. I'm not blind or deaf. Can't you two discuss your plans in a different setting?"

After saying that, Donton followed the hallucination to the cashier counter in the supermarket and sat down with nostalgia.

Raising his hand and gently tapping the keyboard on the cash register, Donton sighed and let out a breath, then closed his eyes.

Even though life is flourishing now, the past always becomes a bubble in the water. Donton may not really miss it, but whether he misses it or not, it has become something that can never be found again.

Of course, in fact, Donton didn't want to look for it, he was just expressing his feelings.

If he were really allowed to go back to the past, he would immediately transform into Ye Gong and perform a show of "Ye Gong loves dragons" for everyone right on the spot.

On the side, I saw Donton occupying the research and development table and lying on it with a thoughtful look on his face.

Lucius bravely came to Downton and said.

"Interesting, the target test subject walked onto the test table by himself, Bruce!"

"Gudong."

Bruce swallowed hard.

“This is the first time I’ve encountered this kind of situation.”

After he finished speaking, Bruce walked up to Downton with a frown and continued speaking to him.

"Donton, how do you feel? Do you need an antidote?"

"unnecessary!"

Donton straightened up unhappily, then shook his head vigorously.

As the wind rose from his shaking head, Bruce's eyes became heavier and heavier.

His instinct was telling him that Donton's physical fitness had improved again.

Just by shaking his head, Bruce could tell that the current Downton was definitely much stronger than when he was in Smallwell!
After Downton quickly shook his head, the illusion in his eyes gradually faded away. When he saw Lucius and Bruce clearly again, he gave them a chic smile.

“What the fuck is going on here, man, if you guys don’t mention our relationship, then you two are acting like real doctors.

Especially you, Bruce, you actually asked me if I wanted the antidote?

If I dare to ask for it, would you dare to give it to me? "

"Why don't I dare?"

In response to Downton's question, Bruce took the antidote and threw it into Downton's hand.

He continued speaking.

“You are a man who cannot die, Donton, and even death will only make you stronger.

So what Lucius and I did was never to kill you, we just wanted to find some constraints for you."

At this point, Bruce took a deep breath, then raised his hand and put it on Donton's shoulder. Looking at the increasingly interested smile on Donton's face, Bruce thought carefully and continued.

“Perhaps you don’t know, but these past few days, I’ve been following you for more than half of my time.

I have been watching you since you first demonstrated your immortality. I have witnessed your brutality, but I have also witnessed your kindness, Donton.

Although your methods are far more vicious than I can imagine, in my eyes, when you share your gains with passers-by who have nothing to do with you, that is the real you.

I am sure that you have personally experienced the joy of giving. Do you think that someone like you who is willing to share can be a purely bad person? "

After he finished speaking, Bruce pulled a chair and sat next to Downton.

As he sat down, he waved to Lucius.

"Lucius, could you please bring a few bottles of beer to Downton? I think he would like this."

"No problem, let's eat something. I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I guess you two are hungry too."

After he finished speaking, Lucius picked up a pen and paper and continued speaking to the two of them.

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll ask the group's chef to arrange it."

"What you said really hits the spot in my heart, buddy. I want cheese and snow...fish burgers, three first!" Donton said first.

"Then I'll have three Mexican steak burgers, and some fried chicken," Bruce added.

After getting the answer, Lucius nodded in understanding, then shook his head.

"Only when I'm with you can I enjoy some fried food.

While you were away, my assistant tried his best to control my diet, after all, that was one of the few priorities he had.

I'm relying on you today, fried chicken and beer, I hope we can drink more.

I'm old enough to know how many times I can indulge myself, so I have to seize the opportunity."

After he finished speaking, Lucius walked away.

After Lucius's back disappeared, Bruce turned around and continued to speak to Downton.

"Let's continue with the topic just now, Don. Although I am very angry about your occupation of Wayne Manor, other than that, I don't look at you with any tinted glasses.

Sometimes, I actually envy you very much, envy that you can enjoy your life as wildly and wantonly as you do now.

You've only been in Gotham for three days, and even now it's only the third day.

But in just three days, Gotham City lost more than 40,000 gang members...

Although this means that Gotham has achieved a record-breaking Civil War victory in just three days, it's not just the actions that matter, man.

The riots you created will only make the young people of Gotham see the risks of joining gangs in the coming months!"

Having said that, Bruce took a deep breath, then lightly stroked the lab table with his hand and continued.

“It is true that the loss of tens of thousands of lives is a number that is difficult for Gotham City Hall, and even for many people including me, to accept.

But I have to admit that although you and your gang of dead souls will have the opportunity to continue to grow by winning, your efforts to make the young people of Gotham aware of the dangerous behavior of gangs will ultimately bring some changes to the future of Gotham.

You are making more young people afraid to join the gang life, and this fear itself is actually a method that even I particularly approve of! "

Having said that, Bruce let go of Donton's shoulders and gave him a very forced smile.

Looking at Bruce's awkward smile, which was so difficult as if he had pooped in his pants, Downton clapped his hands in amusement.

"Man, you almost made me believe that what you said was true, but you still need to work on your smile.

From what you just said, I guess only the part about you liking the means of using fear is true, the rest is just said for my amusement.

You and I are both smart people, and appeasement is always a good card. Instead of being my enemy, being my friend will give you a better chance of dissuading me from some crazy decisions I may make in the future.

I'm glad to see you're still so sane, and I hope you stay sane, Bruce!"

Donton patted Bruce's shoulder heavily, then jumped off the laboratory table and grabbed a chair from the side.

After sitting next to Bruce, he unceremoniously took out the fear bomb, released the poisonous gas and took a deep breath.

When poisonous gas passes through the lungs, the evil will retreat.

Downton grinned as he tasted the poison gas, while Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yes, fear itself is Bruce's favorite method, but he didn't expect that Downton actually understood him!
Donton has never followed me, so how could he accurately analyze my mental state in just a few words?
It seems that I need to practice more on managing my facial expressions, because my current acting skills are so immature!
While constantly reminding himself in his heart, Bruce tried to put on another smile and then spoke to Downton.
