[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell
Chapter 141 Returning to Gotham
"If you dare to beat me, I dare to beat you back!"
Damian struggled, fists and kicks the size of sandbags in John Constantine's face, if Matthew didn't pull them away in time.
Of course, with John Constantine's magical attainments, even if Damian's fists and feet hit his body by chance, they would not hit the real thing. Matthew separated them, not so much to protect Constantine, but to protect Damian install.
after all--
"Don't fight with a magician, you never know whether it's a real body or a magical illusion standing in front of you."
Before Matthew put Damian down, John Constantine, who was standing behind Damian himself, was already smoking a cigarette and making sarcastic remarks slowly.
Damian: "..."
Now he deeply understands his father's dislike for the Constantine family, and is ready to—
Seeing his friend showing fierce eyes, Jonathan quickly hugged Damian by the waist, and reminded loudly: "Damian, we came to the suburbs to pick them up to the Batcave, not to quarrel or fight."
Damian: "I know the purpose of our coming to the outskirts is to take them to the Batcave, but this does not contradict my desire to hit people now! I hate the Constantine family! Especially John Constantine!"
"why?"
Jonathan was puzzled.
"Because he wanted to hit me! Treat me like a child!"
Recalling the embarrassment of being mentioned like a piglet, Damian cursed angrily.
When Jonathan heard this, he became even more puzzled: "But Damian is indeed still a child..."
"To shut up!"
Damian was speechless at Jonathan's innocence.
Seeing this, John Constantine snapped his fingers and produced a big bucket of popcorn, and handed it to Jonathan and Damian: "Do you need some more ice cream for you?"
"thanks--"
"Don't think popcorn can buy me off!"
Damian interrupted Jonathan's thanks, but honestly grabbed a handful of popcorn, threw it into his mouth, and chewed: "The magic popcorn tastes really good?"
"Because this is actually a space transfer magic." John said, "I used space magic to 'buy' a bucket of popcorn from a nearby movie theater, and I left Bruce's name on it."
Damian: "..."
Jonathan: "That's amazing—"
……
The "misunderstanding" was resolved, Damian led the way, and the group returned to the Batcave.
On the way, they meet Harley.
To be exact, it was Harley, who was working part-time in a cos coffee shop, wearing a sexy close-fitting maid outfit, and beside her was Poison Ivy who was also working part-time in a coffee shop.
"Want to go over and say hello?" Matthew asked.
He had a pretty good impression of Harry.
What's more, Harley seems to really get rid of "Harley Quinn" completely and live with a new image.
"why would--"
Damian subconsciously prepared to object, but when he saw that Harley was working in a coffee shop in a maid outfit, his big eyes suddenly rolled: "Okay, I haven't seen Harley for some time—"
While talking, a group of people walked into the coffee shop.
Ding-dong-
Harley, who heard the doorbell, walked up to the guests with a business smile on her face: "Welcome...why are you guys!"
"Don't you welcome us? I'm Damian Wayne, the son of the richest man in Gotham!"
Damian walked into the coffee shop swaggeringly with a look that deserved a beating.
Jonathan scratched his stubbled hair embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Sister Halle, Damian..."
"I know! The child's skin is itchy!"
Harry said with a smile, looking at Matthew and his son: "Matthew, long time no see, this handsome blond guy is your—"
"John Constantine."
Constantine, who saw the essence of Harley's crazy lover at a glance, smiled and introduced himself: "Nice to meet you, Queen of Gotham, Harley Quinn."
"The Queen of Gotham is a thing of the past, and now I am an ordinary woman who earns a living by working part-time."
While talking, Harley picked up the menu: "Would you like to order our special gold supreme set meal?"
"Why-"
"The guest at table three wants the Gold Supreme Package!"
Harley yelled "Buy and Sell", holding Matthew with his left hand and Constantine with his right, and walked into the coffee shop with few customers: "Actually, the business of this shop has been very good, but you came at an unlucky time. , come half an hour late, you must not even find a seat..."
"And you work here and live on tips?"
Matthew couldn't help interrupting Harry.
This store is very deserted, the posters on the wall have faded, and the dark red and black paint on the table is mostly mottled and faded. Most of the waiters in COS maid outfits are listless, and the customers are also listless. People at the bottom of society with thin pockets.
"do you have any opinion?"
Harry, who was exposed by Matthew, was a little upset.
At this time, Poison Ivy walked forward with a coffee with a strange aroma, half threatening and half entertaining: "The coffee is ready, do you want to try this special flavor from South America?"
"The one with the medicine the Incas used when they prayed to the gods?"
John Constantine said with a smile, picked up a cup of coffee, and took a sip: "It tastes really good, but unfortunately it's not full-bodied."
"you!"
Poison Ivy's brow was bulging with blue veins.
"He was my biological father, John Constantine," Matthew explained.
"Of course I know he's John Constantine!"
Poison Ivy gritted her teeth and roared angrily, "Scum! Liar! Shameless!"
"Uh..." Matthew was stunned for a while, and looked at Constantine with the two children: "So you and Miss Poison Ivy also..."
"I do not have!"
"Good idea!" Constantine and Poison Ivy shouted in unison.
Matthew: "Then why..."
"When I was dealing with the swamp monster, by the way, I had a conversation with a plant lady who lived nearby... ahem, to be exact, hermaphrodite. I talked for a month... the smell on her body is very charming..."
"As expected of you!"
Matthew is speechless...
Although he knew that Constantine had been in interracial love all year round, but——
"When you fell in love, was he in human form or plant form?"
"Does it matter?"
John Constantine asked confidently.
Damian & Matthew & Poison Ivy & Harley: "..."
Only Jonathan is innocent: "How do humans and plants fall in love?"
"Jonathan, you are still a child about this issue...you will understand it when you grow up..." The adults who realized that they were teaching bad children coaxed in unison.
Jonathan blinked: "But my father and mother said that I am already a..."
"No! You're still a child!"
Damian cut Jonathan's words firmly.
Jonathan nodded half understanding.
Afterwards, Damian? Rich and powerful? Wayne paid ten times the tip, on the condition that the clown and poison ivy must get off work immediately and change into their daily clothes to go to the Batcave with them.
Seeing that the clown and poison ivy were not very happy, Damian added eccentrically: "If you think it's good to dress like this, I have no objection, and Batman and Nightwing should have no objection either."
"Stinky boy! Sooner or later I'll tie you up and bury you in the soil to feed my plants!"
Enraged, Poison Ivy announced angrily.
Damian clasped his fists and said sarcastically, "For you, dreaming is indeed a shortcut to success."
"To shut up!"
Poison Ivy emphasized uncomfortably, and threw the poisonous flower back at Damian's face.
Damian easily dodged with his agility, and was about to taunt Poison Ivy and Harry——
The poisonous fog has cleared, and Harley and Poison Ivy have already taken off their COS suits in the coffee shop and put on their respective iconic costumes: "Let's go now?"
"Yes, let's go now—"
……
Alfred, as an all-round butler, saw Damian and Jonathan go out to bring back four guests at a time, and he remained calm and asked the two ladies calmly, "Do you like black tea or coffee?"
"Anything is fine..." said Harley, "I love everything you cook, Ah Fu."
"It's an honor for me, Alfred, to be affirmed by Ms. Halle."
While talking, Alfred brought black tea, biscuits and cakes to the two ladies.
Harley then held black tea in her left hand and cake in her right hand. The corners of her mouth were full of food crumbs. Poison Ivy hated all foods made of plants. She didn’t touch anything Alfred prepared, but picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of Harry’s mouth at any time. .
"Poison Ivy, you are so kind to me." Harry said out of his busy schedule.
Poison Ivy replied with a smile, "Because I like you."
"Even willing to accompany me to the Batcave?"
"Yes!"
Poison Ivy's eyes suddenly darkened.
She knew that Harley had recently gotten closer to the Bat family, and there were even rumors that Harley was going to pursue Batman——
Even if it's just for love, she still has to keep an eye on Harley, so as not to let Harley have the opportunity to develop a relationship with Batman!
Poison Ivy carefully hid his thoughts, sat beside Harry with a peaceful smile, watching the men of the Bat Family warily.
Realizing that he was being targeted by poison ivy, Bruce smiled helplessly.
He asked Constantine and his son to sit down and asked directly: "What are you doing here in Gotham?"
"Matthew came to Gotham for something, I owe him a favor, so I have to follow."
John Constantine said indifferently.
"That--"
Batman looked at Matthew: "What are you doing in Gotham?"
"Investigate someone."
Matthew pushed the photo taken when he was Matthew Pender to Batman: "He is Matthew Pender, a human being who has an inextricable relationship with me."
"What's the matter?" Bruce asked knowingly.
Matthew: "He is my relative."
"My dear?"
Bruce looked at John Constantine: "Honestly, Matthew Pender is also yours—"
"He has nothing to do with me! In the name of God!"
John Constantine blurted out.
"I don't believe your oath..." Bruce said, "You're a liar, a seasoned liar."
"You are right. I am a liar and often deceive others, but in the emotional field, I never cheat and never lie. I am a magnanimous scum. If I don't take the initiative, refuse or take responsibility."
John Constantine said slightly aggrieved.
After all, although he is a fraudster and a top-notch scumbag, he is not a despicable emotional liar.
Every scumbag ex cherishes and loves him and is willing to be scumbag by him.
"All right!"
Bruce sighed helplessly, and asked Constantine: "What's the matter with Matthew? I remember you—"
"My love history is so rich and colorful, it's inevitable that I will miss it sometimes, isn't it?"
Konstantin nuzzles Damian: "Like you'd make Damian."
"Tania and I didn't miss by accident!"
Bruce protested loudly from being poked in the sore spot.
"Is that a deliberate miss?"
Constantine took up the conversation casually.
result--
The three Bat-family men at the scene all showed awkward and polite smiles, but Alfred was full of smiles: "Master should have had a child long ago."
"Ah Fu, you—"
"The arrival of Master Damian makes me feel like I have returned to those years when the master was the master."
Alfred said with a smile, changing tea and refilling snacks for everyone.
Damian's mouth twisted in anger.
Jonathan, who was sitting on top of the dinosaur's head, said seriously: "Damian also likes Alfred, his father and his brothers very much, at least that's what he told me—"
"Jonathan!"
Damian was furious and jumped on the dinosaur to silence the Son of Superman.
pity--
Jonathan can fly.
Damian can't fly.
When Damian climbed onto the dinosaur, Jonathan was already sitting firmly at the afternoon tea table, with biscuit crumbs all over his mouth: "Grandpa Alfred's cake is really delicious... delicious..."
"Now I fully understand Luthor's hatred for Superman. People on Earth have to work hard and add food prepared by a nutritionist to build fit muscles, but the Al family is born... No matter how much they eat, they don't get fat..."
Seeing Jonathan eating without any scruples, Harry felt a little sour.
Poison Ivy took the opportunity to promote the concept of green health: "Harry, although I can't let you have a perfect body like the Carl family without exercising and eating casually, but I—"
"Batman! Hello! And you, Nightwing, Harley, Poison Ivy, and—Matthew Constantine, John Constantine."
Barbara's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the warm fight in the Batcave.
Batman nodded, converted Barbara's communication from the video screen to stereoscopic, and told Barbara that Matthew had come to Gotham this time to investigate Matthew Pender.
Barbara, who has been secretly investigating Matthew's past and found out that he and Matthew Pender are inextricably linked, showed a surprised expression after hearing what Batman said: "Matthew, you—"
"I want to know who are Matthew Pender's parents..." Matthew said bluntly. "In official records, he is an orphan without a father or a mother."
"Yes, we still don't know the names of Matthew Pender's biological parents. When he was discovered, there were no writings or objects around him that could prove his identity. At least, the nuns of the church did this for him. Registered."
"What was the name of the nun who carried him into the church from outside the church door?" Matthew asked. "Is he still alive?"
"Let me check."
Barbara opened the folder named Matthew Pender and found the relevant information of the mother: "Mother Teresa, 82 years old, a devout life, unmarried, currently living in the church's nursing home, the address of the nursing home is ..."
Barbara responsibly told Matthew the address, contact information, and the name of the dean of the nursing home, and added: "Mother Teresa is a kind and pious person. When you visit her in the nursing home, please Always be polite and respectful, especially when you're next to—"
"The one next to me?"
Matthew turned around and saw John Constantine with an embarrassed smile on his face: "No way! She won't be yours again—"
"No! She is not my predecessor! But the dean's name seems to be..."
Constantine looked innocent: "After all, I am a top-notch man who is popular with women."
"Come on!"
Barbara blurted out.
Nightwing and Batman also cast contemptuous glances.
Only Harry smiled, and put a hand on Constantine's shoulder: "Are you really popular with women? How popular? Describe it specifically?"
"This...haha...haha..."
Sensing the approaching crisis, John Constantine shook off Harry's hand on his shoulder without hesitation.
……
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Matthew came outside the nursing home.
Because this is a devout religious institution, and the dean is suspected to be Constantine's predecessor, Matthew, who doesn't want to cause trouble, chooses to visit the nursing home alone, in the name of Bruce Wayne's client.
The nursing home often receives charitable donations from the Wayne Group. Knowing that Matthew is a member of the Wayne Family Charitable Foundation, the dean personally came forward to receive this handsome young man.
"Mr. Matthew, your arrival is from our Santa Maria Nursing Home—"
"In addition to completing the work assigned by Mr. Wayne, I also have a little selfishness in coming here."
Matthew said straight to the point: "My father was an orphan, and because of Mother Teresa's mercy, he was able to have a father and mother who loved him. I want to express my father's and my gratitude to Mother Teresa face to face."
"Aunt Teresa was indeed a highly respected nun."
The dean accepted Matthew's reason and took Matthew to Mother Teresa's room in person, but was told by the nurse who took care of Mother Teresa: "My mother is downstairs basking in the sun."
"which one--"
Standing by the window, Matthew saw at least ten elderly nuns basking in the sun on the lawn downstairs.
"The one in the middle surrounded by many young people is Mother Teresa..." the nurse said, "Mother Teresa is very kind and noble, and she can occasionally see the future. The church once sent envoys to her as a Saint, what a pity—"
"Mammy refused?"
"Yes, Mammy believes that decades of piety and humility allow God to give her the ability to see the future. If she accepts the canonization of the Holy See to become a saint, she will break the oath of piety and humility."
"Mammy is indeed a noble character." Matthew said meaningfully.
Obviously, Mother Teresa's refusal of the canonization of the Holy See has nothing to do with the so-called pious and humble oath, because God will not give her special power just because she is extra pious!
Besides—
According to the nurse's tone, Teresa was not born with the ability to see the future, otherwise she wouldn't say that this ability is bestowed by God!
It can be seen that taking Mother Teresa as the starting point is indeed the correct way to investigate her life experience.
……
Under the leadership of the dean and nurses, Matthew came to Sister Teresa, knelt down on one knee, and held the old mother's hands: "Mother Teresa, I am Matthew, my..."
He looked behind him.
Both the dean and the nurse left with interest.
Matthew raised his head and looked into the old nanny's cloudy eyes: "I am Matthew Pender, and I hope to get your help."
"Help? My help?"
The old mammy looked at Matthew in confusion.
She is in her 80s and her mind is confused.
"Yes, I need your help, I want to know my past or my future, since you can see the future of others..."
As soon as the words fell, the old mother's wrinkled face flashed obvious horror: "What are you talking about! You...you want...you want...what's your name..."
"Matthew Pender, a poor baby boy who was abandoned by his parents at the gate of the church, you brought me back to the church and handed me over to the Pender couple to raise..."
"I...I don't! I'm not! I never knew any Penders! I've never come into contact with an abandoned baby named Matthew Pender! You must be mistaken!"
Mother Teresa vehemently retorted with a fluent speech speed that was almost impossible for her age: "You are wrong! You are 100% wrong!"
"But--"
"You admitted your mistake! Please, admit your mistake!"
Mother Teresa was so excited that she shed tears and struggled to stand up.
Seeing this, Matthew became more and more sure that Mother Teresa had mastered the unknown secret.
He squeezed the old nanny's hand tightly, and said to the old nanny half begging and half threatening: "Unless you tell the truth, I will never admit that I made a mistake!"
"Matthew, this matter—"
"The truth can't be told?"
"This is not the truth you can bear!"
Mother Teresa said painfully: "Once the truth is told, I will go to hell! I have been devout and humble all my life, and I don't want to go to hell! I don't even want to implicate you in hell! I can't... I can't..."
"But I'm already in hell!"
Matthew interrupted Mother Teresa again: "I am a demon crawling out of hell."
"You? You? You're a demon!"
Sister Teresa's eyes widened in fright at this sentence: "It's daytime now, how could there be demons entering during the day... This is a nursing home next to the church! There shouldn't be... and it's impossible..."
"Not all demons can't enter religious places like churches. Monsters like me who are both demons and angels, not to mention churches, even heaven can't stop me!"
In order to force Mother Teresa to tell the truth, Matthew did not hesitate to intimidate and lure: "I want to know why! Why did I fall into hell alive as a human being! Why did I crawl back to the world as a demon after falling into hell! What on earth makes me so unusual! And—”
He paused, stood up, and said slowly: "Sister Teresa, I heard from the nurses that you have received the apocalypse and have the ability to see the future. Is this true?"
"This issue……"
"Where did you get your abilities! Is it God-given, or—"
Matthew deliberately lengthened the ending, and looked down at Sister Teresa: "The devil's reward!"
Damian struggled, fists and kicks the size of sandbags in John Constantine's face, if Matthew didn't pull them away in time.
Of course, with John Constantine's magical attainments, even if Damian's fists and feet hit his body by chance, they would not hit the real thing. Matthew separated them, not so much to protect Constantine, but to protect Damian install.

Matthew turned around and saw John Constantine with an embarrassed smile on his face: "No way! She won't be yours again—"
"No! She is not my predecessor! But the dean's name seems to be..."
Constantine looked innocent: "After all, I am a top-notch man who is popular with women."
"Come on!"
Barbara blurted out.
Nightwing and Batman also cast contemptuous glances.
Only Harry smiled, and put a hand on Constantine's shoulder: "Are you really popular with women? How popular? Describe it specifically?"
"This...haha...haha..."
Sensing the approaching crisis, John Constantine shook off Harry's hand on his shoulder without hesitation.
……
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Matthew came outside the nursing home.
Because this is a devout religious institution, and the dean is suspected to be Constantine's predecessor, Matthew, who doesn't want to cause trouble, chooses to visit the nursing home alone, in the name of Bruce Wayne's client.
The nursing home often receives charitable donations from the Wayne Group. Knowing that Matthew is a member of the Wayne Family Charitable Foundation, the dean personally came forward to receive this handsome young man.
"Mr. Matthew, your arrival is from our Santa Maria Nursing Home—"
"In addition to completing the work assigned by Mr. Wayne, I also have a little selfishness in coming here."
Matthew said straight to the point: "My father was an orphan, and because of Mother Teresa's mercy, he was able to have a father and mother who loved him. I want to express my father's and my gratitude to Mother Teresa face to face."
"Aunt Teresa was indeed a highly respected nun."
The dean accepted Matthew's reason and took Matthew to Mother Teresa's room in person, but was told by the nurse who took care of Mother Teresa: "My mother is downstairs basking in the sun."
"which one--"
Standing by the window, Matthew saw at least ten elderly nuns basking in the sun on the lawn downstairs.
"The one in the middle surrounded by many young people is Mother Teresa..." the nurse said, "Mother Teresa is very kind and noble, and she can occasionally see the future. The church once sent envoys to her as a Saint, what a pity—"
"Mammy refused?"
"Yes, Mammy believes that decades of piety and humility allow God to give her the ability to see the future. If she accepts the canonization of the Holy See to become a saint, she will break the oath of piety and humility."
"Mammy is indeed a noble character." Matthew said meaningfully.
Obviously, Mother Teresa's refusal of the canonization of the Holy See has nothing to do with the so-called pious and humble oath, because God will not give her special power just because she is extra pious!
Besides—
According to the nurse's tone, Teresa was not born with the ability to see the future, otherwise she wouldn't say that this ability is bestowed by God!
It can be seen that taking Mother Teresa as the starting point is indeed the correct way to investigate her life experience.
……
Under the leadership of the dean and nurses, Matthew came to Sister Teresa, knelt down on one knee, and held the old mother's hands: "Mother Teresa, I am Matthew, my..."
He looked behind him.
Both the dean and the nurse left with interest.
Matthew raised his head and looked into the old nanny's cloudy eyes: "I am Matthew Pender, and I hope to get your help."
"Help? My help?"
The old mammy looked at Matthew in confusion.
She is in her 80s and her mind is confused.
"Yes, I need your help, I want to know my past or my future, since you can see the future of others..."
As soon as the words fell, the old mother's wrinkled face flashed obvious horror: "What are you talking about! You...you want...you want...what's your name..."
"Matthew Pender, a poor baby boy who was abandoned by his parents at the gate of the church, you brought me back to the church and handed me over to the Pender couple to raise..."
"I...I don't! I'm not! I never knew any Penders! I've never come into contact with an abandoned baby named Matthew Pender! You must be mistaken!"
Mother Teresa vehemently retorted with a fluent speech speed that was almost impossible for her age: "You are wrong! You are 100% wrong!"
"But--"
"You admitted your mistake! Please, admit your mistake!"
Mother Teresa was so excited that she shed tears and struggled to stand up.
Seeing this, Matthew became more and more sure that Mother Teresa had mastered the unknown secret.
He squeezed the old nanny's hand tightly, and said to the old nanny half begging and half threatening: "Unless you tell the truth, I will never admit that I made a mistake!"
"Matthew, this matter—"
"The truth can't be told?"
"This is not the truth you can bear!"
Mother Teresa said painfully: "Once the truth is told, I will go to hell! I have been devout and humble all my life, and I don't want to go to hell! I don't even want to implicate you in hell! I can't... I can't..."
"But I'm already in hell!"
Matthew interrupted Mother Teresa again: "I am a demon crawling out of hell."
"You? You? You're a demon!"
Sister Teresa's eyes widened in fright at this sentence: "It's daytime now, how could there be demons entering during the day... This is a nursing home next to the church! There shouldn't be... and it's impossible..."
"Not all demons can't enter religious places like churches. Monsters like me who are both demons and angels, not to mention churches, even heaven can't stop me!"
In order to force Mother Teresa to tell the truth, Matthew did not hesitate to intimidate and lure: "I want to know why! Why did I fall into hell alive as a human being! Why did I crawl back to the world as a demon after falling into hell! What on earth makes me so unusual! And—”
He paused, stood up, and said slowly: "Sister Teresa, I heard from the nurses that you have received the apocalypse and have the ability to see the future. Is this true?"
"This issue……"
"Where did you get your abilities! Is it God-given, or—"
Matthew deliberately lengthened the ending, and looked down at Sister Teresa: "The devil's reward!"
