Hero, you have crossed [Comprehensive Yingmei]

"It's okay, Bruce."

After saying this, Lucas was taken aback.He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to comfort Bruce Wayne, which seemed completely different from his usual style.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to sort out his current mood.Little Falcone quickly withdrew his hand that was gently supporting Bruce, but there was still a smile on his face:

"So? Do you want us to go up and persuade him first, or let him meet Hernan?"

"No!"

It may be that Lucas's gentle reassurance really worked.This time Bruce's reply was quick and firm.But then Mr. Wayne looked up quickly in surprise—his upbringing made him feel too rude—and then immediately looked back at the ground beside Lucas's shoes:

"No...I don't want him to meet Superman. This is still just an agreement between you and me. I will not forget my oath."

The blue-eyed youth spoke quickly.His pale face was slightly flushed.

"This time it was my mistake, my misjudgment. I promise you, Lucas, that there will be no next time..."

The reply was somewhat inexplicably ambiguous.Lucas felt a little uncomfortable.It was difficult for him to understand Bruce's delicate mind-the ambition to surpass his father and achieve his ideals.

But Lucas fully respects Bruce's choice.

So the blond youth frowned, and made a slightly tougher decision:

"It was indeed your mistake, but it was only 'you'. This incident will not change my opinion of you, nor will it change my decision."

"So all I need now is a countermeasure, I don't need your promise, and I don't care how many times you make mistakes—so, now, what do you think?"

Lucas's words were already a little impatient.But his words clearly put the initiative in the hands of Bruce.This made the little Mr. Wayne, who was quite depressed, raise his head in surprise.He found out, again...he didn't know Lucas at all.

Bruce looked at this young man who was so handsome and beautiful that he looked like a forest elf.Lucas at this moment is still irritable and gloomy.But he is also trustworthy and worthy of being trusted by him... This Superman's best friend is waiting for his reply at this time.And this also succeeded in reviving Bruce.

Bruce has indeed been favored by many people for being 'Little Wayne' over the years.As a matter of course, he became an ordinary member of his family's prosperous branches, just like the dozens or hundreds of Waynes before him.

Bruce had heard a lot of laments, laments about his father's accomplishments and his father's failures: 'What a legend Thomas Wayne was!In his heyday, he even mastered the black and white of the entire Gotham, he is completely the uncrowned emperor of Gotham... However, even he can't save Gotham, can't change Gotham! '

'Gotham, there is no cure, no one can save! '

——But Bruce didn't think so.Bruce is not reconciled!He doesn't think his father is the pinnacle of the family, and he doesn't want to believe that Gotham is really hopeless.

"...he doesn't trust me, and he doesn't trust you, Lucas."

"He's coming to see you as my father. We need to convince him that we're not talking nonsense."

There seemed to be some strange and charming flames flickering in Bruce's cold blue eyes.As soon as Lucas overlooked, he met the opponent's eyes.

He felt as if he was being sucked in.He seemed to have been sucked into Bruce Wayne's eyes, caught in the other's emotional vortex.It was an intense, bitter, and dazzling feeling... It made Lucas feel dazed for a moment, and he realized that he was actually a little fascinated by it.

That was something Lucas didn't have: hope, ideals, the belief that you could do anything for it.

"Ok."

So he agreed to the other party almost without thinking.

……

…………

………………

Thomas Wayne knew better than his son: the family owed Falcone a lot, in a way, in a variety of ways.

This Mr. Wayne has not been sitting upright in the chair since his son went out.His upbringing prevented him from running around in a hurry, but Thomas still came to the window of the box, and he looked down at the group of workers carrying stage props.

This didn't lessen his worry even by half.His expression was still serious and melancholy.Thomas still thought of the boy of all those years, the mysterious, terrifying Lux Falcone.

Thomas never actually gave Bruce all of Lucas' files.On the one hand, he didn't want his son to be too disgusted and afraid of this savior; on the other hand, he didn't want Bruce to be too curious about Lucas.

But in fact——Lucas's experience is indeed amazing enough.

This illegitimate son born in old Falcone's later years, this 'boy' who is obviously not an ordinary human...Thomas had witnessed his indifference to life and death, and it was clear that he and Alberto planned the burning to death The 'Bloody Trial' of nearly a hundred people.

It was also the first time the Court of Owls sat in the 'defendee dock'.As a result, a large number of Gotham's high-level executives suddenly died of "disease", and the Falcone family retreated from Gotham... And he also successfully placed more of his own people in the real shortage in the city.

In fact, counting it this way-Lucas seems to have been courting the Wayne family all the time.

He even saved the lives of the Thomas family, and he shouldn't have any hostility towards this young man.

...But how could Thomas be relieved?The Falcone brothers were unquestionably lunatics.In his youth Alberto seemed to have no wants, not even a temper.But when his wife died unexpectedly, this crazy man poisoned his father and elder brother without hesitation in order to clean up his power.Alberto can give everything for his son, even if he becomes a real devil.

This kind of end, no means is engraved in Falcone's blood.Thomas had always suspected that he had never been able to see what Lucas really wanted.Maybe it's just a game for him, but

But he really didn't want such a ferocious beast to entangle his son.His blues.His son is young and proud and thinks he can be the most different...but Thomas doesn't want Bruce to be 'different', he just wants him to be good!

——And this is obviously very different from the thoughts of the two young people who knocked on the door.

Lucas followed behind Bruce.He originally wanted to take the lead by himself, but Mr. Wayne Jr. didn't want him to be too strong... Lucas always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but it didn't seem to be wrong.

Fortunately, Thomas Wayne first set his sights on Bruce, who was the first to enter the door.Because Lucas was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't seen the original Batman's father in years.At this time, Thomas Wayne was graying at the temples, but this did not detract from the temperament and charm of the other party.The older blue-eyed gentleman was also quite handsome, and would have been more Batman-like than Bruce had it not been for his beard.

It may be strange to say this - but Lucas was indeed slightly intimidated by it.He belatedly found that he no longer seemed uncomfortable with Bruce's handsomeness and 'Batman temperament', but when facing Thomas, he still felt inexplicably nervous.

Fortunately, no one noticed his tense back—after all, the other two present were also not at ease.Bruce broke the silence first, and Little Wayne introduced to Old Wayne:

"Father, this is Lucas Falcone. Lucas, this is my father, Thomas Wayne."

This is pure social nonsense.But Lucas still took the initiative to extend his hand to save face, and greeted Thomas Wayne as politely as possible.

When Lucas held Mr. Wayne's hand, he was surprised to find that the other's palm was actually cold.He knew it meant nervousness, even panic.This is the true mood of Thomas with a serious face... Inexplicably, Lucas felt sad.

This is 'father', fatherly love.Now it is difficult for him to understand this kind of feeling, and even this kind of fatherly love stops Bruce from moving forward...but it is indeed love.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wayne."

Lucas bowed his head slightly, paying homage to the other party with his weak social knowledge.But this is the limit of what he can do with people.

Lucas' next sentence cut to the chase:

"I think you must be here today because you have a lot of doubts. And I will be happy to answer you."

Lucas Falcone is back on the mend.His almost colorless eyes looked straight at the once uncrowned emperor of Gotham.Just like that midnight many years ago, that bored boy asked him directly.

'What exactly made you choose to do this?Mr. Wayne? '

'Why do you still think there is still salvation here? '

'No one expects this city to be brought back to life, and no one thinks that there is even a millimeter of fairness here...Why do you insist on it?It doesn't make any sense at all. '

…… He changed.

Thomas looked at the young man in front of him standing between him and Bruce.The older Mr. Wayne realized belatedly at this time—the other party had indeed changed.

The image of this extraordinary son has always remained in that annoying and disgusting interrogation.It was a boy who didn't think the world would get any better. He was a disappointed, hopeless, hopeless monster.

And the young man now... Thomas was a little shaken.He could see some strange determination in Lucas' brow.Although old Mr. Wayne didn't know whether this was good or bad, he knew that Lucas Falcone had changed.

He once answered the other party back then, 'Because until she is changed, she is healed, she is repaired, and she returns to the ordinary and happy Gotham, I will not give up, I will not stop believing-for this reason I I can give everything, even if my body is smashed to pieces. '

……

Thomas didn't know whether Lucas was satisfied with his answer back then.But he later realized how much his words had affected his son... Thomas didn't regret it, and he didn't dare to regret it.but,

But now, but Bruce...

Now Bruce is everything to him.

"This should be our... second meeting, Mr. Lucas."

There was a wave of depression in Thomas's heart.He looked at the young man who had personally pushed him to the throne of Gotham and witnessed his failure; Wayne looked at the monster who had saved his family many years ago.

This time he asks:

"...I don't understand, I don't understand. Mr. Lucas. I don't understand why you want to mess around with Bruce, why you..."

"Why did you choose Bruce?"

"He's young, he's inexperienced and he's lacking strength - why him? It shouldn't be him."
