The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 17 Teacher-Student Heart-to-Heart Talk

On the way to Seren, Diana seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

It was Li Zhen who noticed Diana's odd behavior and took the initiative to ask her about it.

"What's wrong, Mr. Prince?"

"Oh, I wanted to tell you not to mind Batman spying on you. He's always done it, and those things he said too."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Mind it? Be monitored? What's there to mind?"

Diana was somewhat stunned. You see, when she accidentally found the bug Batman had planted on her, she had been furious.

Diana slowed down slightly after initially being half a body length ahead, and carefully examined Li Zhen's features.

The boy seemed genuinely at ease, which aroused their suspicion.

"You've only been on Earth a short time, and you've already discovered something like this. Doesn't this feeling of restriction on your freedom make you uncomfortable?"

Li Zhen shook her head directly, thought for two seconds about how to answer, and then a slight smile appeared on her face.

"I have been on Earth for almost twenty days now. Excluding the three days I was in a coma at the beginning, the week I spent recuperating and the eight days I spent with you, Professor Prince, have all felt like a vacation to me."

"There was no training that pushed my body to its limits, and no one forced me to fight to the death with other soldiers my age or even older."

"I didn't have any instructors who would beat or scold me."

Li Zhen's gaze was somewhat unfocused, clearly lost in some heavy memories.

"You know what? This is the first time I've heard the word 'vacation' since I arrived on Earth. On Vitrum, a vacation is a privilege enjoyed only by warriors who are at least 500 years old and have made outstanding contributions."

"For the first ten years of my life, every day when I opened my eyes, I was always faced with fighting, injuries, killing... and the verbal abuse and beatings from my instructors."

Diana did indeed only consider teaching Lee Jung a task when she received Bruce's contact.

She knew nothing about Li Zhen's past, and this week she was just training Li Zhen as an ordinary young soldier who needed help in some ways.

For Diana, this past week or so felt like a replay of the training and instruction she received on Paradise Island when she was young.

The only difference is that her identity has changed from a student to a teacher.

It wasn't until Li Zhen recounted the past in detail that Diana felt a surge of pity amidst her shock.

"How can such a race exist?"

When Diana first arrived in human society, she described life on Paradise Island to others, and the strange expressions on their faces seemed to constantly remind her how savage the Amazons were compared to human society.

Now, Diana has a truly empathetic experience.

My impression of Witrum plummeted to negative points, and I felt even more sorry for this boy who was expressionless most of the time.

"So I should be glad you didn't lose your temper and rush up and beat Batman up?"

Li Zhen glanced sideways at the scene ahead, somewhat speechless, wondering if Diana in this world had some kind of grudge against Batman.

"After I came to Earth, I did not hide most of my past or the meaning of the Witrum culture. As a civilization that customarily and gloriously invaded other planets, it is normal for some individuals on Earth to be wary of me."

Li Zhen sighed.

"To put it even more seriously, Professor Prince, I've seen quite a few of your Justice League's stories on TV, and the personalities of your members are quite evident in most of the interviews and the press conference when it was founded."

"Excuse my bluntness, but most of the Justice League members, except for Batman, exude a kind of naiveté."

"Superman, The Flash, and Shazam are all the types of people who can gain trust by playing the victim; they are all unable to resist targeted conspiracies."

"Aquaman, Green Lantern, and you, Professor Prince, either have a clan to manage or other organizations to distract you. You are the type who cannot devote your main energy to the Justice League."

Diana was about to retort instinctively when Li Zhen cut her off with a leap of thought.

"I read in an old report that Mr. Bruce, who had dealings with Batman, generously covered most of the league's expenses. You see, even the financial backer came from Batman's personal connections."

This statement contained a secret that Diana had to keep, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Funding, planning, communication, base relocation, and hazard warning."

"In a world-renowned organization, all the work was done by one person."

Diana stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a rebuttal for a moment. In fact, two years ago, Batman was the only one who opposed the formation of the Justice League.

As a result, it has now become the core of the league's operation.

"It's not just him; Cyborg is helping too."

After holding it in for a long time, Diana finally uttered a weak rebuttal.

Li Zhen didn't speak this time; he actually had a more incisive summary of Steel Bones.

For example, even though it possesses cutting-edge technology at a cosmic level, its greatest function is actually to act as a super server and artificial AI.

In this place that claims to have freedom of speech, Cyborg didn't step in to control public opinion, yet the Justice League was criticized so harshly online.

But Cyborg is the only one who has only appeared once, two years ago when the Justice League was formed, and has not appeared in the public eye since.

For the vast majority of people, Cyborg is still just a cyborg with powerful technological capabilities.

Since the true information about the Steel Bones' abilities cannot be obtained through ordinary media, Li Zhen has no reason to have access to related information channels.

Li Zhen passed through a cloud, exhaling a breath of condensed mist, and spread her hands towards Diana, who was still staring at her.

"I sense that you are all very kind people, so I understand that you find Batman difficult to get along with."

"But to me, Batman is just more direct in his speech. So far, he has given me the feeling of being more understanding than the gentlest instructor on our planet."

Li Zhen wasn't making this up at all. From beginning to end, Batman only warned him a few times from the perspective of an Earthling, which was better than those instructors who would break his thigh bones at the drop of a hat.

This was the first time Diana had heard such shocking comments about Batman, and she clutched a lock of her hair in anguish.

"Li Zhen".

"Mr. Prince?"

Diana began to grind her silver teeth together vigorously.

"I hope that if you ever lose your abilities one day, you'll remember to rob a bank in Gotham City."

?

Statements that are unclear in meaning should be ignored.

Li Zhen flew down a little and stared intently at the architectural layout of the city below for a while.

"Have we arrived in Serenity yet, Professor Prince?"
