Chapter 81: Talia

　　In the second half of the night, the rain began to become more dense and rapid, and faint lightning flashed in the clouds. The nearby underground forces, no matter how big or small, began to rush to Gotham. Countless hackers tried to break into Gotham's database after replacing their equipment.

　　But at this moment, Damian has not made up his mind yet.

　　Yes, he had come to this point, betraying his father and brother and remaining loyal to his mother. The order built in his heart over the years prompted him to carry out Talia's will, and the great changes in the Assassin's League also forced him to choose sides.

　　He chose his mother unsurprisingly, and even swung a knife at his grandfather for this. But since Talia betrayed her father, why couldn't he betray his own father as well?

　　"Because of love, Damian. Although today is the first time I see you, since Bruce has told you everything and even chose you to be Robin, he must love you very much."

　　Jason tried clumsily to shake Damian's heart, but to be honest, he always felt that Bruce loved everyone in his heart and was even willing to adopt a poor boy wandering the streets. One day he would fill his house with people.

　　"Don't lie to me, Todd. You have amnesia. You can't even remember what your father looked like in the bat armor."

　　Damian hid his face in the shadow of the warehouse. Only the flashes of lightning outside occasionally illuminated the outline of his body. In another half an hour, the contact person would arrive. At that time, he would leave Gotham completely and return to his familiar place.

　　"So you want to deny his love for you?" Jason asked back, although when he said the word love, he felt something strange in his throat, as if acid was about to rise from his esophagus and cause a spasm.

　　Damian remained silent. For him, who grew up in the Spartan hell, the word "father" had always been filled with a certain fantasy. He couldn't help but fantasize about that man, but because of his mother's training, he forced himself to give up everything.

　　But the easiest and most difficult things to control in this world are human hearts.

　　"Do you want to disappoint him?" Jason asked Damian a soul-searching question based on his intuition. Anyone who has been Robin would have PTSD about this question.

　　Jason, who had no memories and no daddy issues, was surprised to find that Damian's expression became shaken.

　　That’s great, he was just a little bit away from having to go to the Ten Kings Division to visit his fourth brother in prison.

　　Then the ceiling collapsed again amid heavy rain and thunder.

　　"*Xianzhou swears*, here we go again!"

　　Jason had to raise his head hard and stretch the back of his head further. The damn soldiers tied the rope too tightly, making it impossible for him to move at all.

　　"Jason!"

　　Two red figures rushed out from the ruins, along with the continuous raindrops outside.

　　"Brother, I found you! My god, the road in Gotham is so difficult to navigate. Fortunately, there is this person. Um, who are you?"

　　Spider-Man hugged Jason warmly, and after talking a lot, he realized that he didn't know the real name of this generous and helpful young man.

　　Tim cut the rope with the knife he carried with him: "Red Robin, just call me Red Robin."

　　The door of the warehouse was slammed open, and the shiny Yinzhi walked in. It was really strange. It was a night with heavy rain, but his body was still perfect and clean as if they had just met.

　　"Are you alright, dear friend?"

　　Yinzhi asked. Behind him was a group of unlucky assassins who were beaten to the point of being unconscious of their lives. There were red spots on those assassins' bodies. At first glance, one might have thought that this kind-hearted knight had killed them, but upon closer inspection, one found that those were actually rose petals.

　　It's not hard to imagine what Black Mask's lair would look like.

　　"I'm fine, thank you." Jason was finally able to move again. He stood up from the chair and turned to look at the other side of the warehouse.

　　Dick is confronting Damian.

　　It's not quite appropriate to call it a confrontation. It's more like the ninja cat master is patiently coaxing the bastard kitten who has made an error. As long as this little devil can be brought home, he can be punished however he wants.

　　"D! Come back with me." He gave the order sharply, and the sound of his throat cancer made it even more terrifying.

　　"I won't!" Damian confronted him with a knife, and it was obviously not easy to do it seeing his grinning and angry face.

　　"He woke up so soon?" Jason whispered to Spider-Man.

　　"Yes, it seems that the little guy was quite gentle. Is he a dwarf?" Peter also spoke quietly.

　　"Oh no, he's our newly found brother back home, and he's not even a teenager yet."

　　Tim joined the chat group in a sarcastic tone. Ha, this kid made such a big mistake. Now he will be in trouble. At least it can prove that he is not a qualified Robin.

　　"My dear friend, is your family interested in learning about the pure and beautiful star goddess Idrila?" Yinzhi also asked quietly, although there was no way their conversation would not be heard.

　　"Ha, him, that's him. If he has anything to do with Chunmei, I will stand upside down and use my feet on the keyboard to work for Batman."

　　Tim started to criticize directly. In his eyes, Damian was a complete little devil. If he had committed any sins in the first half of his life, he would have redeemed himself and returned to heaven the day he met Damian. The reason he was still on earth now was purely out of personal interest.

　　"Minor? Brother, is this how you raise children in Gotham? We generally don't do it that way where we are..." Spider-Man found out that he almost beat up a minor and broke out in a cold sweat.

　　"It's okay. He is an illegitimate child, registered in the Middle East, and is not protected by American law."

　　In fact, Bruce had already prepared the procedures, but Tim was malicious and didn't say it out loud.

　　Seeing that the topic was about to turn to hell, Dick stopped them:

　　"That's enough, shut up!"

　　Jason raised one eyebrow, perhaps because of the magical power of fate that could explain everything. This expression was also honestly reflected on his red plastic bucket.

　　He used this expressive red bucket to look at Dick, who was wearing a bat suit and thought he was the boss (although he was indeed the boss):

　　"What did you tell me?"

　　Dick's arrogance caused by Batman's skin disappeared in an instant. He had not yet settled the score for the fight between him and Jason in Black Mask's lair.

　　Then Tim also stood up: "Is this how you treat me?"

　　This person's grudge is even more profound.

　　Dick, who was on fire from head to toe, had never missed his serious old bat-father who occasionally danced on other people's nerves so much.

　　Bruce, tell me, how did you get between me and Jason?

　　"Grayson, get out of here." Damian still held the samurai sword in front of him to protect himself. Thanks to his voice, Dick, who was frozen in place, was temporarily saved.

　　"No, Xiao D, you have to go back with us, and you have to call by code name outside."

　　Dick decided to solve the main conflict first. The problems of his second and third brothers could be put aside for now, but if his fourth brother was not caught tonight, he couldn't imagine what would happen to this little boy later.

　　Players watched the fun while holding popcorn: Fight, fight!

　　A dagger fell at Dick's feet along with the rain.

　　"I'm so sorry that none of you can leave."

　　The voice came from above, and everyone looked up, only to see Talia standing on the warehouse, looking at them through the hole smashed by Dick.

　　Dense swarms of assassins suddenly appeared from all directions like dark cockroaches and surrounded the small warehouse. Spider-Man quickly closed the door of the warehouse.

　　"Mother." Damian greeted respectfully.

　　Players really don’t know why there are always people who don’t take the Pure Knight and the Sea Ranger seriously.

　　Jason looked up at Talia. Although they had a good relationship in other parallel worlds, he only felt annoyed now that he had lost his memory:

　　"So, you want to covet immortality and become an enemy of Luofu?"

　　He raised the energy gun, and the gun body turned into a long sword during the vibration. Talia, who was originally confident of victory, changed her expression slightly, but she quickly calmed down.

　　"Jason, before your father published an announcement in the newspaper that you were still alive, I knew that you had crawled back from hell. My men reported to me that he saw you on the streets of Gotham, but I arrived too late and you had already been transported away."

　　"What do you want to say?"

　　"If it weren't for the small error in time, we could have become closer, and perhaps your life would be completely different."

　　"So you've been saying this for so long just to express that you only covet my personal resurrection, not the immortality that is forbidden by the alliance?"

　　"The Assassin's League has its own way of achieving immortality. My father, Lei Xiaogu, ruled the Middle East for nearly a thousand years. He was originally a great leader, but now he has become increasingly chaotic and corrupt."

　　"I'm not surprised. The demonic Yin body is the destiny of the immortal species."

　　"So I need you, Jason. Whether it's to help me overthrow my father's rule or to research true immortality, follow me, and the Assassin's League will give you everything you want."

　　Player: It happened so suddenly. She stole my girl right in front of me, even though I was the one who took her away from me in the first place.

　　"What are you going to do if I don't agree?" Jason was disdainful of Talia's conditions.

　　But the corners of Talia's mouth raised up, it was a dangerous arc: "I won't fight with you, but you will agree in the end."

　　As if she felt that looking down at people was not good for her spine, she jumped directly into the warehouse. When everyone thought that this woman might have lost her mind, she walked up to Damian and gently stroked his face with her hand.

　　Peter quietly asked Yinzhi: "Shall we tie her up now?"

　　Yinzhi was a little embarrassed: "According to the code of chivalry, I cannot attack someone who has not shown any tendency to attack."

　　"Mother?" Damian was distracted for a moment. Such gentle movements were rare in his memory.

　　Only Dick noticed something was wrong, but he reacted too late.

　　Talia holds Damian hostage.

　　This sounds a bit hellish, but it is the truth. Damian had almost no resistance when the dagger was put to his throat. He seemed to have expected this moment.

　　"Come with me, Jason."

　　Talia threatened.

　　“I don’t understand.” Jason put down the sword in his hand. “Why did you choose this method? Aren’t your soldiers outside?”

　　"That was my original plan, until that knight showed up. In front of him and you, no matter how many assassins there were, they would be nothing but cannon fodder. In that case, why would I waste my men's lives in vain?

　　Moreover, my Damian, I knew who you chose the moment you decided to stay in this warehouse. You deliberately let Spider-Man escape, and then you dragged your feet on the road. This is not how you should behave."

　　Talia stroked the top of her son's head sweetly and dangerously, but the dagger in her hand was as steady as a rock.

　　"You'll compromise, right, Jason?"
