I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 57 Two Girls in Contrast

"What are you talking about? Cassandra seems to be speaking Cantonese? Joaquin, do you still understand Cantonese?"

Behind Barbara's glasses, a curious light flickered.

"Uh, this. I usually like watching HK movies. Cassandra seems to have noticed this, so she just played some Cantonese memes with me."

"Oh, really?"

Barbara looked at Cassandra suspiciously. The latter hesitated for a moment, then exchanged glances with Jacques, and nodded slightly.

"Well, forget it, it's a good thing that your relationship has improved."

Barbara seemed to have given up her intention to get to the bottom of it, with a smile on her face, she looked at Cassandra with soft eyes, and then whispered in Jacques' ear while feeding her.

"Don't look at Cassandra's indifferent appearance, but this is because of the legacy of her previous family education. As long as you get along with her for a long time, you will know that she is actually a kind and enthusiastic child who is afraid of loneliness"

And Barbara's words have been heard by Cassandra, or with Cassandra's observation ability, she can understand the content of Barbara's whispers only by the movement of Barbara's lips.

The evidence is that Cassandra finally did not fix her eyes on Jacques's face, but lowered her head and quietly stirred the porridge in front of her.Although she didn't show any emotion, Jacques had already faintly felt that this was the girl's shyness?

Jacques instantly had a lot of affection for Cassandra in his heart—this girl is really cute in a sense.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps sounded from outside the restaurant door, Barbara's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the spoon in Jacques's bowl into Jacques's bowl, and then moved away from Jacques by about one meter. He casually gnawed at the bacon sandwich in front of him.

Seeing Barbara's strange movement, Cassandra raised her eyebrows slightly - Jacques began to be able to read the girl's micro-expressions, which seemed to mean curiosity.

"Oh, what does it smell like? It's weird—Jacques, is it because you ate your stomach and farted early in the morning? Why does it smell so bad?"

Dinah's lazy voice sounded from the door just after waking up. Suddenly, Jacques felt that the temperature of the air in front of him seemed to drop by a degree or two.Looking up, I saw that Cassandra's movements of eating porridge froze, and her eyes became more and more cold.

Dinah, who walked in the door, didn't seem to notice this, she didn't even notice that Cassandra was there, because her eyes were immediately attracted by Joaquin's arms wrapped in thick bandages.

"What's going on with Jacques, when did you get the injury on your hand? You were obviously fine when you were brought back—"

When Dinah saw Barbara who was deliberately keeping a distance from Jacques, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the worried expression on her face immediately turned into gloating.

"I understand. Sure enough, your hallucinatory toxins haven't been cleaned up. You suddenly lost consciousness last night and attacked Miss Barbara in a beastly manner, but you were punished by breaking your hands. You should—"

Jacques and Barbara glanced at each other, and it could be seen that there was some embarrassment in their eyes.After all, half of what Dinah said is correct, but the problem is that it was Barbara who lost consciousness, and Jacques was the one who was attacked.

"It is very irrational to doubt your companion without evidence. I think Jacques's response last night was very appropriate. I can testify to this. Please take back your statement."

Cassandra's cold words sounded, Dinah, who was still laughing at Jacques, froze, and turned to look at Cassandra.

The two girls looked at each other, and Jacques could clearly feel that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

Barbara seemed to have noticed this too, and quickly stood up to smooth things over.

"Dinna, I forgot to introduce you. This is Cassandra, a new member of our Gotham Knights Development Alliance, codenamed Batwoman; Cassandra, this is—"

"It's not necessary, Barbara, I've already read the information about her in advance. Dinah Sarah Quinn, the young lady from a famous superhero family, borrowed the name of her mother Black Canary—"

"It's not borrowing, it's inheritance!"

Dinah interrupted Cassandra somewhat angrily, but Cassandra just paused and continued.

"—And before I came, the teacher who trained Jacques' fighting skills, right? Now that I'm here, I'll take over Jacques' subsequent combat training. All in all, I've worked hard for you."

Obviously Cassandra's voice is still as ethereal and cold as ever, but I don't know why Jacques can feel some gunpowder smell, and Dinah's slightly flushed little cheeks also prove that this is not just Jacques' illusion.

"Oh, so that's it, you are the new teacher sent by Batman to guide Jacques in fighting. I thought it was some superhero, but I didn't expect it to be just an underage little girl—"

Miss, aren't you also underage? !Although Jacques slandered in his heart, he still wisely decided not to run into trouble at this time.

"Miss Dinah seems to be a little dissatisfied with me as Jacques' training job - if you have any objections to this, you can speak up directly."

"It's nothing, but I sometimes think that Jacques is our leader. The improvement of his combat ability is related to the organization as a whole. Although Batman is our patron and guarantor, if an outsider appoints an internal candidate. "

"You mean Batman picked me for connection?"

"I don't mean that, Batman is also an elder I respect very much, but I just suspect that what Jacques really needs may have to be decided by himself—"

The two girls were at each other's throats, refusing to give an inch in their words, and it was only then that Jacques noticed that they were like opposites.Dinah has long golden wavy hair, and Cassandra has short black fluffy hair; Dinah is emotional and extroverted, and Cassandra is cold and reserved. No wonder they are at odds with each other when they meet.

And Barbara looked very embarrassed when she saw the two people who were arguing. After all, both of them were her friends, and the palms and backs of their hands were full of flesh. flat.

Jacques sighed softly, cleared his throat, and stood up—the first internal strife in this small team, it seemed that it was time for him to play a leadership role as the leader.

"Everyone be quiet, we are all partners, there is no need to—"

"Jaquin, shut up and sit down."

"This has nothing to do with you, Jacques, please don't get involved."

Well, sure enough, I am a vase boss.Jacques, who was blinded by the two girls at the same time, sat down again resentfully, cursing in his heart that the title of Black Mask said that the leadership is useless at all-isn't the content of the two of you arguing about me related? ? !

Seeing Dinah and Cassandra confronting each other, Jacques has already begun to feel that this small organization that has only just taken shape may become a little less peaceful in the future.
