I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 44 Tonight is destined to be sleepless
Long nights, unintentional sleep.

Jacques regretted letting Harley go back to the room to sleep too early, even though he was in the mode of a sage who had no worldly desires at that time, and gently placed Harley, who was unable to walk, on the sleeping Zyra beside.But after lying on the sofa for almost an hour, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

The strange thing is that he obviously didn't sleep last night except for the few hours when he was in a coma, but now after the [-] rounds of fighting between Jacques and Harley, he is still full of energy.

Anyway, after tossing and turning for a long time, Jacques still didn't feel any sleepiness, but because of the faint fragrance of the battle just now in the air, he started to feel a little hot again.

Forget it, don't sleep anymore, go out and blow some air.

Jacques left the basement, carefully stepped over the snoring and sleeping Hyena Bud, and then walked through the empty and quiet abandoned warehouse, ready to blow the refreshing night breeze at the door.

At the door of the abandoned warehouse, Jacques heard a slight grunt, which seemed to be Harley's pet—huh?No, isn't Bud at the basement door?

Through the night vision ability, Jacques clearly saw a petite body sitting by the corner of the wall by the door of the warehouse, with his head down, unable to see his face clearly.

Paz, Jacques stepped on some garbage and made a small sound.But even so, the figure curled up in the corner immediately jumped up like a startled cat.

"who is it!"

The lights in the old warehouse were turned on, and Dinah, who was still a little dazed, looked around nervously. There was still crystal saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth and she hadn't had time to wipe it off.

"Jack, Jacques? Why are you here—"

"I should be asking you this question. This is my home. And I remember you left in the afternoon?"

Jacques looked at Dinah suspiciously. He knew that this girl usually lived in a high-end hotel near downtown Gotham, so why would she come back at midnight tonight and sleep in such a place.

"Because I want to hide from my mother—it's just a troublesome person. It's none of your business. Don't worry about it."

Dinah wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and glared back at Jacques angrily.

Jacques shrugged, since Dinah didn't plan to go into details, he didn't bother to ask, so as not to ask for trouble.

"It's you, why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night and came out for a walk? Oh, I understand, you must have made a noise for Zyra because of your snoring too loudly, so you were kicked out by Sister Hali."

To say that he was taught a lesson, he was really "taught" severely - Thinking of the scene just now, Jacques couldn't help showing a memorable smile.

"Wow. What a disgusting smile, what the hell are you thinking—"

Jacques stretched out a finger, shook it lightly, and said with a mysterious look.

"This is an adult's secret, you children, don't ask so many questions, hehe."

"I told you not to treat me like a child, I—"

Dinah was upset at first, but just when Jacques thought she was going to explode again, Dinah suddenly seemed to think of something, and her face darkened.

"Maybe you're right, I'm really not mature enough"

Dinah's appearance was beyond Jackie's expectations. In his mind before, this girl was savage, capricious, and impulsive, but she was also full of arrogance and self-confidence. She had never shown such a weak side in front of him. .

"When I came out of the house, I thought I could take care of myself, but yesterday, no, when Sister Halle was taken away the day before yesterday, I couldn't do anything. Instead, you presided over the overall situation, and you went in and successfully rescued her. Miss Halle."

"This... you're a big help too, drawing fire up front with Walker—"

"But if it's just to lure the enemy, Walker can do it alone—and maybe he can do better. I can see that Walker may be more free if he flies alone, without having to worry about protecting me. Obviously I have been trained more than you all." Systematic training, but the result is that I am hindered. I am not reconciled."

Jacques didn't know how to comfort Dinah for a while. After all, his performance in actual combat was overwhelmed by the usually inconspicuous Walker and Jacques as an "apprentice". He could imagine this gap.

"But you are still young, Dinah. Your ability is already enough. As long as you give enough opportunities to exercise, you will grow up sooner or later. There is no need to belittle yourself like this."

"Can I continue to grow?"

Dinah rubbed her chest and muttered to herself in a low voice.

"Well, I can grow. Although it is difficult to reach Harley's level—"

Jacques couldn't help recalling the scene of the fight with Harley just now, and his eyes casually glanced at certain parts of Dinah's body.Well, it is indeed too young, and there is still a big gap between Harley Quinn's protruding and backward devil figure.

"Miss Halle? Are you talking—tsk, where are you aiming your eyes!"

Dinah glared at Jacques angrily, and kicked Jacques in the face habitually.

call out!
However, to Dinah's surprise, and even Jacques' surprise, Jacques instinctively stretched out his hand and easily grabbed Dinah's ankle at the moment when Dinah's fierce flying kick was about to reach Jacques' face.

When did my reflexes become so sensitive?

Recalling his abnormally abundant physical fitness, Jacques began to realize that his body had been different since the battle last night.Whether this is due to the effect of Poison Ivy's seed residue, or other reasons, it seems that it needs to be studied slowly, but it is obvious that his overall ability under normal conditions has improved to a certain extent.

And Jacques still has two unused skill points, but since he can't unlock new skills, Jacques is not in a hurry to use them——when the actual combat is over, it is most reasonable to think about which skill to strengthen practice.

"You, have you played enough, let go, stinky rascal!"

Hearing Dinah's shy and angry shout, Jacques remembered to let go of Dinah's ankles—even Dinah, who has strong legs, couldn't break free. It seemed that not only his reaction ability, but also his strength had also been strengthened.

"You bastard. You rubbed your nose and face a little bit. You don't think that you are better than me, so you can become a teacher."

Dinah narrowed her eyes, moved the ankle that was grabbed by Jacques just now, and stared at Jacques with a bad expression.

At this time, Jacques remembered that Batman had said that he would send someone to take charge of his training in the future.

"Well, it's true that Dinah will not be in charge of my future training. Maybe someone else will be in charge. Thank you for your hard work——huh?"

Jacques felt a sudden chill rising from his back, while Dinah in front of him had a gloomy face and a cold smile.

"It's really underestimated, Jacques. My disciple was snatched away by others. I can't accept such a shameful thing."

Hiss, Jacques gasped, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ah, this, it's getting late, I should go back to sleep—"

"stop!"

Dinah stopped in front of Jacques, her slender fingers made crackling noises, and approached Jacques step by step with a sneer.

"Wait, what do you want to do, don't come here!!"

"You shout, and no one will hear you if you shout out your throat. Tonight, I will tell you that it is too early to become a teacher. Only Teacher Dinah is the most suitable teacher for you!"
