Anti-invasion of the heavens: water drops in the beginning

Chapter 146 The Waynes Want to See a Musical

In the DC universe, there is no such thing as the Marvel movie universe, where Iron Man begins to clearly divide the key points of the superhero era.

Here, 30 years ago, a group of superheroes formed an organization called the "Justice Society" to act as vigilantes around the world.There are also countless super criminals with various superpowers.

Therefore, people in this world still have a high degree of acceptance of superpowers, and people have always used various superpowers to start companies to make money and develop technology.

And because there is no race in DC that is born with superpowers like mutants, the situation of superpowers is still much better than that of Marvel.But it's also limited. It's just that everyone shouted at the government level, and turned into greedy capitalists drooling, hoping to turn those superpowers into weapons or batteries that can be used to make money.

Of course, Thomas has also been in contact with superpowers, but he didn't expect that this father and son were actually two of them, and they were still directly strengthening their physical abilities.

This made Thomas love talents, especially when he learned from Bruce who threw himself into his arms that the other party was his new friend Carl and his upright father whom he had been talking about all the time. Passed the character test.

Those rumors are actually true, the other party is really a firefighter with superpowers...

Possess superpowers, do not do evil, and do not use them to satisfy selfish desires. You are not even a vigilante who walks on the edge of the law, but choose to be a fire alarm who really rescues people in dangerous situations.

After Thomas told Bruce yesterday that he would invite him to his home, he had already investigated Chen Guang's actions over the years.

He could easily see that this man was definitely a firefighter from the bottom of his heart and enjoyed it.Coupled with the other party's son and the seven years of persistence, Thomas is confident that the other party is definitely not pretending to achieve an ulterior secret.

It's just that this man doesn't seem to care much about his solicitation...

That's right, with such ability, being a fire alarm is purely for the pleasure of helping others. If it's for money, there are too many ways to earn it.

So Thomas changed his attitude, and his forehead tilted down at an imperceptible angle that almost no one could see.

But with a warm tone, he stretched out his hand to Chen Guang and said, "You are Carl's father, right? I often hear Bruce mention his friends, and Carl is proud of you."

Chen Guang didn't know Thomas well, but his keen perception still allowed him to detect the change in the other party's attitude.It seems to be more sincere, no longer mixed with hidden high-profile.

So he stood up, shook his hand, and said with a smile, "I should be proud of him for being able to raise such a good boy as Carl."

Hearing that his father not only didn't blame himself for causing trouble, but instead said that he was proud of himself in front of outsiders, Karl's original timid mood was swept away, his head held high, his little face was full of smiles, and his face was flushed.

"Damn freak..."

In the barber shop, Weiss looked at the few people who seemed to be enjoying themselves not far away, his eyes were bloodshot.

But since he knew that the other party was a superhuman, he wouldn't act irrationally at this time.

He crawled out of the barber shop, staggered to the side of the road, raised his gun, and stopped a yellow taxi that didn't brake at all.

"Crench--!"

The Latina taxi driver stepped on the brakes with fear on his face. His long life in Gotham made him understand that anyone who dares to point a gun at you must dare to shoot. The best coping strategy is to give the other party what they want. , so there is no risk of stepping on the gas pedal.

Weiss got into the back seat directly, grinning his teeth in pain, and said coldly: "Go to the nearest hospital, hurry up."

In his heart, Weiss sneered secretly.

It's a stupid decision to dare to expose what's special about yourself.

Perhaps these freaks with superpowers are very strong, but they always have weaknesses. Whether it is poison, sniper rifles, or bombs, there is always something that can blast their skin. This is not the fucking Middle Ages.

Even if these are useless... what about the people around you?The family and friends of a person with superpowers are not necessarily all people with superpowers!
This is also the reason why those vigilantes in strange costumes in the past always hid their identities. Those who dared to use their real identities to fight for justice are now buried in the Gotham Cemetery!
During the whole process of the other party's departure, only Gordon tried to arrest him because of his shooting, while the other policemen turned a blind eye to it.

But Gordon only took two steps after him, sighed and shook his head.

After all, the other party was knocked out first and then shot. If this is used as an argument in court, it may not be a good result for the father and son.

Out of respect for Carl's father's character, Gordon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "Be careful of that guy named Weiss' revenge. He runs a company with more than 120 people. It's called 'Greece'. As the name suggests, they are all immigrants from Greece. On the surface, he only has three bars and a freighter industry, but in fact it radiates more than two streets of gray business. There are even guns, illegal me I don’t know how many there are, but he has a dozen legal gun licenses.”

Chen Guang nodded to Gordon, and said with a peaceful smile, "Thank you for reminding us, we will be careful."

That being said, in fact, after hearing the name Weiss, Chen Guang thought about it, but he couldn't find the relevant information from his memory.

It's no surprise, though, that most of the Gotham story takes place after Bruce Wayne has come of age, during his time as Batman.

And in a place like Gotham, gangsters are like leeks, they grow new ones after they are cut. Who knows how many batches of criminals have been updated after this Weiss with about 20 years left before the main plot takes place? Group, it is the turn of Batman's familiar enemies to appear.

Now that he knew that the other party was not a super villain, Chen Guang didn't take it to heart.In this world, I only have Karl as my only friend. If the other party can really find a way to deal with Karl, to be honest, he even wants to watch.

Thomas glanced at the young police officer in surprise, and said with a smile, "The information you have is really detailed. May I ask your name?"

Gordon is not stage-frightened either. Although he is young, he doesn't feel that the richest man in Gotham is such a big man. He just shook hands with the other person, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My name is Jim Gordon, I'm just a nobody. What's the details? Almost all of them are public information, and I even added my personal speculation. If the information in my hand is really detailed enough, he would have been arrested a long time ago."

The surrounding police officers originally saw that Gordon had a relationship with Thomas, and they were all jealous. After hearing this, they couldn't help whispering and showing mocking expressions.

And Gordon didn't care about it, obviously he was used to being isolated in the police station.

As for the Asian bodyguard lying on the road, Gordon called and called an ambulance before he was taken away.

Just when Chen Guang wanted to take Carl away, Gordon stopped them and said helplessly: "Sorry, sir, although I know that you are out of self-defense. But after all, your son injured three people. According to Gotham The system of the police station, although I will not detain a minor, I have to take him to the police station."

When Karl heard this, he immediately showed a look of fear, obviously still a little afraid of being taken to the police station as a 'prisoner'.

Thomas smiled and said, "Excuse me, I would like to invite these two gentlemen to lunch, can you be more accommodating?"

Gordon shook his head naturally, the face of the richest man is not easy for him.

But Thomas just smiled, stretched out his hand to let Gordon wait for a while, then took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

Then Thomas smiled and said to the phone: "Hello? Mr. Director? That's right, it's me, Thomas. No, no, no, I have nothing important, but I want to invite two friends to dinner, but they need to go to the police The bureau makes a record..."

"I understand, what I mean is, can you delay it for a while? Speaking of which, the equipment of the nearest police station seems to be a little behind..."

After a while, Thomas handed the phone to Gordon, who hesitated and took the phone.As for the content of the call, Gordon had no part to speak at all. He could only nod his head in response, and in the end he had no choice but to head back home with the other police officers.

At this time, Thomas invited Chen Guang: "I asked Bruce to invite you and your children to Wayne Manor for dinner, but because of a little accident, why don't we make it earlier?"

When Chen Guang heard this, he looked down at Carl, who nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, Bruce told me before that he wanted to invite me to his house to play."

Since it was an invitation that Karl had already agreed to, Chen Guang naturally agreed, and the four of them got into the extended Lincoln driven by Alfred together.

After opening the car door, it looks like a small conference room, where four people can sit facing each other on the sofa without being crowded at all.

After closing the car window, the sound from the outside also instantly silenced. Alfred’s car was unbelievably stable. It was like a small room surrounded by four screens playing the environment backwards. It didn’t give people any bumps from the driving sense.

"I don't know where the master is working now?"

In the car, Thomas started chatting like a chatter box, while Chen Guang just glanced at the sky, understood the current time, and said indifferently: "I just bought a private fire station yesterday, and I was going to clean up the team today. Weeding out non-compliance. But obviously, my boss was late on the first day."

Thomas was taken aback when he heard the words, and said to himself that I also bought a private fire station yesterday, and you are among the people who co-authored and bid with us?

But hearing this, Thomas also knew that there was no need to mention work, and his fire station was bought for nothing.

Fortunately, it was just a small amount of money. The business of the fire station is currently in a downturn, so it is not worth much at all. It is not as good as one-tenth of the money I donate casually every day.

Carl was taken aback when he heard Chen Guang's words, and then realized that his father didn't go out to find a job yesterday, but went out to buy a company.

The family is really not poor!I knew I didn't need to save my pocket money.

----

Thomas brought Chen Guang and his son to Wayne Manor. As soon as Bruce got home, he immediately took Carl to his bedroom to look at the toys.

Looking at the backs of the two children, Thomas smiled and said, "Carl is a good boy with integrity, I can feel it. He has that kind of power, but he never uses it to bully others. He only shows it to the enemy when he maintains your dignity. Childish claws."

He walked to a corner of the living room, opened a bottle of champagne, poured it into two champagne glasses, then turned around and handed one to Chen Guang.

"Gentle, full of strength, and also have their own beliefs and love, this is all a strong person needs."

Thomas concluded and raised his hand to Chen Guang: "You educated him very well."

Chen Guang also raised his glass, but shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with education. Karl is the kind of good boy in his heart. Even if he was raised by a street gangster full of dirty words, or locked up by a group of scientists who don't treat him as a human being every day In the cage, when he grows up, he will still be a gentle and kind child."

He took a sip, and the bubbles of champagne filled his mouth with sweetness. After seven years of exercise, Chen Guang has regained the habit of enjoying food.

Thomas smiled: "You have great confidence in your child."

Chen Guang laughed: "I'm not convinced of this, but I confirm that this is the truth."

After all, Flashpoint Superman can be regarded as one of the worst supermen ever, but he is still a good guy, which is very amazing.

Even because of long-term training, Flashpoint Superman no longer regards killing as the bottom line, he can kill, but he is not as fragile as other supermen who grew up on the farm. or dictator.

Flashpoint Superman doesn't take killing too seriously, but he is still willing to help the innocent and still firmly believes in the goodness of this world.

This is perhaps the nature of most superhumans.

Thomas was moved by Chen Guang's confirmation. From the perspective of being a father, he was even a little ashamed. His trust in Bruce was far from this level.

At this moment, a slender figure walked into the living room. She had short blond hair and a pearl necklace. She had a quiet expression, but there was a little melancholy in her eyes.

When she saw Chen Guang, she was taken aback for a moment, and she rarely asked Thomas, "Is there a guest?"

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Martha finally spoke to him again, he hurriedly said, "That's right, Bruce's father is not a business partner."

Martha softened her attitude when she heard that she was not a business partner. After nodding politely to Chen Guang, she looked at Thomas again and asked, "Where's Bruce?"

"Going to the room to play with his friends."

As soon as the words were finished, Thomas saw the two cubs laughing and chasing in the manor through the huge and luxurious French windows in the living room. Thomas couldn't help but change his words: "Oh, playing in the garden now, Alfred will watch him."

Martha nodded, and Thomas saw that this seemed to be a good opportunity to repair the relationship between husband and wife, so he took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of which, we haven't watched a musical for a long time, haven't we? I heard that there will be a new musical called "Cats" , I have already booked tickets for tomorrow night, with Bruce."

Martha said indifferently: "It's up to you, I'll go and see Bruce."

With that said, he pushed open the door of the living room and left.

Chen Guang raised his eyebrows and looked at Thomas: "I didn't expect the family of the richest man in Gotham to not always be filled with happy laughter?"

Thomas put down the champagne and said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault...Sometimes, men have to socialize, you understand? And Martha is very sensitive in this regard."

Chen Guang understood, it turned out to be the side effect of the genetic material of Bruce's playboy mask on his father Thomas.

But... go to a musical?

I always feel that some famous scene is about to appear.

----

At night, Gotham City Harbor Bar.

Weiss, covered in bandages, sat in the office on the third floor of the bar, looked at the person, and said coldly: "I want to kill someone...but if you can bring him in front of me to torture, I will Will give you three times the price."

"One person, the fee is 1000 million, and the final payment depends on the difficulty of the task."

In the shadows in front of Wes, the sound of a metal symphony came.

Weiss gritted his teeth and said, "1000 million...Okay! But since that's the case, I don't want to live."

Hearing these words, the visitor with his back to Wes turned his head and walked over slowly.

The sound of metal boots stomping on the floor, like a cold robot, every step is accurate, until it is within the range of light from the lamp on Wes's desk, people can clearly see that his body is as solid as a fortress in orange and black Armor.

On the half-black and half-orange mask is a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon and as cold as a blade.

Death Bell, with both eyes intact, bent over the table, looked directly at the little gangster leader, and said with interest: "Generally, you can't afford this price... Even if you can grit your teeth and take it out, it's worth hiring." You can't afford to offend the people I deal with."

When Weiss heard this, his complexion darkened a little, but it was difficult to refute.

Deathstroke stood up, looked at the hanging pictures in the office, and said slowly: "I guess, it's not ordinary people who are going to be dealt with? The director of Gotham has only 200 million heads, um...not the mayor of Gotham, he Although it is worth more, but a small character like you, if you really offend the mayor of Gotham, you will be "legally" swallowed up by the surrounding hyenas first, and those guys will never let go of the opportunity to please the mayor."

Weiss became angry and said, "It's useless for me to kill the mayor! It's just a fire alarm with some skills! Do it if you do it, and pull it down if you don't do it! I just came to the door after I was looking for the killer. Although you are indeed famous, but Every one of my subordinates has a handful of Chicago, and they are not necessarily less efficient than you in Gotham!"

Deathstroke chuckled, ignoring the doubts about his abilities, and touched the chin of his mask: "Fire alarm? Interesting, a fire alarm worth 1000 million..."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Weiss and said, "I guess his name is 'Chen Guang'?"

Weiss asked strangely: "You know him?"

Death Knell said indifferently: "In some fields...he is also considered a little famous. The quotation was low before, and I want 5000 million."

Weiss froze for a moment, then stood up abruptly, overturning the desk in front of him.
