Volume 4: The Last Day Chapter 63: Damn it! Such a grandma is scary!
Under Mason's astonished gaze, facing the scolding and teachings of the extremely powerful old man, the little madman who clenched his fists as if ready to strike out with a heavy punch actually gave in after a few seconds of eye contact.
He lowered his head and responded depressedly, then left the office under the guidance of the penguin butler.
Mason was amazed by this kind of obedience and good behavior that should never appear in Damian. He felt that there is indeed a nemesis. Damian, who was raised by Lei Xiaogu with cruel "parenting concept" since childhood, really fell for it.
But then, he noticed the old man's cold gaze falling on him.
Thomas Wayne stared at Mason, his hands crossed to support his chin, and in a certain commander's signature move he said:
“You must take Damian away from this world immediately, Mason.
Not only is it about to get really bad, but my fellow 'sibs' will soon notice you're not just being hunted by me."
"You've almost written on your face that you're going to throw me out as cannon fodder when you encounter them."
Mason pouted.
He said:
"We will leave, but not now. We can't leave until we achieve certain goals. As for my personal safety, you don't have to worry about it. I just need to spend a few more days of weakness before I can recover."
He walked to the French window and looked at the dark city in front of him again. After a moment, he sighed and said:
"However, your world is as angry as you are, Thomas. I can feel its cold malice coming towards me even from where I stand. It may have become violent because it lost its 'Son of the World'.
But what I am more confused about is, who was the speedster who just took Barry Allen away?
Is that one of your companions, too?"
"No, he is not."
Thomas Wayne picked up the pistol in front of him and said:
"I only know that he is also an outsider. He has killed many people who chased him. There are traces of him all over the world. He seems to be looking for something, but now it seems that he and you are not in the same group."
"The Conqueror?"
This thought instantly popped into Mason's mind.
When Hunter Ciri issued the mission, she told him that she was not sure whether the higher authorities had sent conquerors to this world that was about to be destroyed, but now it seemed that the worst case scenario had come true.
At least one speedster was sent here before Team K, and Barry Allen, who came with Mason, helped Team K.
I hope Xiao Shan can survive.
Mason blinked, and a new plan began to take shape in his mind.
However, since old man Thomas Wayne was going to take Damian to meet someone after nightfall, Mason, as Damian's "temporary guardian", naturally asked to go along.
Faced with this request, old man Thomas did not refuse.
However, when he set off a few hours later, he saw the Penguin Butler putting a large number of weapons into the trunk of Thomas's luxury car, which surprised Damian, who had changed into a children's suit.
He said to the old man who seemed to maintain an expressionless face all the time:
"Where are we going? Why are we loading anti-tank rockets ? Are we going to attack a military base?"
"Just be prepared."
The old man sat in the car with his eyes closed and said casually:
"After all, the place we are going to is quite dangerous. Amanda Waller's subordinates have been selecting cannon fodder among them. I don't want to deal with them.
But if it is unavoidable we have to be prepared.”
The door of the black luxury car was opened the next moment, and Mason sat in the passenger seat. He glanced at the old man and Damian in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked softly:
"What about the Sky Eye Society in this world? Are they loyal to the government?"
"I never had much contact with them."
The old man closed his eyes and said:
“But I know that group is not friendly to either Atlantis or the Amazons, and they have been preparing for a war that could spread.
Many villains have been recruited, and Amanda is said to be manipulating them in some very bad ways. They have a research facility on the East Coast, where they are said to be conducting various experiments in an attempt to create super soldiers on a large scale. "
"Do you know the location of the base where the Sky Eye Society conducts human experiments?"
Penguin Butler quickly drove the three people to the outskirts of Gotham City. Mason, who was writing and drawing in a small notebook on the road, asked again:
"There are also those rumors about alien orphans that have been circulating here. I am very interested in these things."
"That's your business."
Thomas looked out the window and said in a bad tone:
"If you want to know, go find the answer yourself. You are not a child anymore, Mason. I am not responsible for answering any of your curiosity."
"He just wanted to find Superman."
Damian, who was sitting next to the old man, whispered:
“That is a bloodline from Krypton, extremely powerful enough to destroy a world by itself. Mason doubts that there are superhumans in this world.
And to be honest, I've already met Wonder Woman and Aquaman's people, and now Batman, it would be a bummer if Superman wasn't here.
After all, in our world, Superman and Batman are good friends who can talk about anything.
I think if it weren't for the gender incompatibility, their relationship would probably be so good that they would get married right there, and what would Catwoman and my mother have to do with it?"
"Yeah?"
The old man snorted and said nothing more.
The grim old man seemed not at all interested in the subject.
Mason and Damian exchanged a hidden look.
He leaned on the passenger seat and started contacting Catwoman and her crew using the team's internal communication. In the quiet car, Damian took over the task of gathering information and began to ask Thomas Wayne some questions in a low voice.
The little madman who inherited the blood of Batman and the King of Assassins is very smart.
Although his super intelligence has not yet been fully discovered, it is definitely a genius. This little guy just doesn't use his intelligence for the right things most of the time.
Mason eavesdropped on the conversation between the grandfather and grandson in the back of the car, and contacted his teammates a few minutes later. He rubbed his ears and asked in a low voice:
"Selina, are you guys okay?"
"good."
At this time, Lady Catwoman, who was resting in a quaint but luxurious bathhouse on Paradise Island, seemed to be dozing off, but she was actually observing her surroundings vigilantly.
She replied lazily:
"We took out the Undersea People's commander, Black Manta, in a successful sneak attack on that island.
This great victory led Queen Diana to give the three of us the official status of "Honorary Amazons" and even recruited us to be their guides when they invade the human world.
That stinky vixen Talia can't sit still. She is currently recruiting people on Paradise Island.
And your adorable, slightly disturbed Harley Quinn is having a blast, jumping around the island and training and hunting with the Amazon warriors.
It doesn’t feel like an adventure to a dangerous world, but more like a journey.”
Mason listened to Catwoman's report and glanced at the rearview mirror again.
Seeing Thomas whispering to Damian, the Revenge Knight was very sensitive and immediately raised his head to look at Mason. The young man smiled at him and then said to the other end of the communication:
"It seems that you are hiding quite well. Can you contact Atlantis?"
"That's not my responsibility."
Selina snorted and replied:
"Talia controls the power to communicate with the other side and has always been on guard against me. That annoying woman is secretly commanding her team members. Although they are reluctant to admit it, they are indeed much more powerful than we were at the beginning.
The ambush on Black Manta was successful this time thanks to the assistance of . I heard that they also successfully recruited a bunch of remnant soldiers with the help of the shark king's deep sea bloodline."
"Then please tell Talia that she is still a member of Team K."
Mason said gently:
"If she wants to start her own business, she can wait until she completes her first pioneering mission. Currently, I am the one in charge in this world. If she plans to set up her own business, please let me know in advance.
So that I can be prepared.”
"You going to knock her?"
Selina suddenly became interested, but Mason shook his head and corrected her:
"No, I just want to tell her that I need this information to have a comprehensive view of the situation. If she is determined to make a decision without my permission, then I will not be responsible for the safety of her and her team members."
“That’s just knocking.”
Catwoman snorted and said cheerfully:
"I will convey Lord Mason's order right away. I hope you can teach that jumping woman a lesson. But the medicine Harley brought is not enough. Her mental state is not stable to begin with. If she stays here any longer, I'm afraid something might happen.
How about I send her to you first?"
"You are on Paradise Island, half a world away from here."
Mason asked back:
"How are you going to get here?"
"The Amazons have a strange 'Hermes Talisman' that is very fast. We just used it to get back to Paradise Island from the east coast in ten minutes."
Catwoman explained:
"With our current status as 'Honorary Amazons', we can use that thing. Give me a specific location and I'll send Harley away right away.
She kept complaining on the way that she had been planning to have some sex with you tonight..."
Selina asked with a strange smile:
"Oh, so you like this style. No wonder an old aunt like me is not attractive to you, Mason. But I have to warn you, sleeping with a psycho is against the law."
"You also know that her thinking is not normal, do you dare to believe what she said?"
Mason complained.
At the same time, the fast luxury car had already driven out of Gotham. Mason glanced at the destination ahead and turned back to say to Grandpa Thomas:
"Are you going to Arkham Asylum?"
"Any questions?"
The old man asked coldly, and Mason shrugged and said:
"No, it's nothing, I just asked casually. I have a feeling that I may not be able to participate in what is going to happen next, and I happen to have a friend coming over, so I will stay outside and wait for you to finish so that we can go back together.
Can you please take good care of Damian for me during this time?"
"Go ahead."
The old man waved his hand.
This action, combined with his sitting posture in the dark and the peculiar temperament of an anti-hero who was involved in gangs in his early years and later became a criminal-slaying anti-hero, gave him a feeling of a big boss.
Mason gave Damian a look that said "you're on your own", then after the car stopped on the side of the road and opened the door, he watched the car continue to move forward.
The young man stood on the side of the road and took out a pack of Silk cigarettes, then popped out another one and lit it up and took a puff in the dark.
He looked at the luxury car that disappeared from his sight, shook his head and complained:
"My poor Damian, you may think that it is surprising enough that a 'Knight of Vengeance' suddenly appeared from the sky and became your grandfather, but in fact you still know nothing about 'surprise'.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, because I don't want to deal with Mr. J anymore.
Well, no!
Given the situation in this world, it should be Mrs. J."
——
The Batman in this world is having a miserable time, as he doesn't have a cool Batmobile to drive.
But the old man obviously had good taste. The luxury car he chose was not only high-end in appearance but also very fast. After Mason left, it soon stopped at the front door of Arkham Asylum.
"Where are we going?"
Thomas took Damian out of the car. The little madman looked at the building in front of him, which was bigger and darker than the one in the other world. He suddenly remembered the strange look in Mason's eyes before he left, and asked with some concern:
"You're not going to lock me up in here and claim it's for my protection? That sounds like something Batman would do."
"You are a child with a very vivid imagination, but it is not vivid enough."
The old man sighed, handed Damian a mask and motioned him to follow.
The Penguin butler stayed beside the limousine and waited.
He was holding an old-fashioned pipe to amuse himself, but next to him was the penguin umbrella that Mason had given him before. It had only been a few hours since he got it, butler Oswald had already mastered it and loved it more and more.
It’s like the kryptonian finally drew the destined “exclusive weapon”.
The grandfather and grandson walked into the gloomy insane asylum. Thomas had said before that this insane asylum was the place where the Sky Eye would select cannon fodder. After entering, they could see many people in military uniforms busying around.
But the old man was obviously deceiving Mason when he said he didn't have much interaction with them.
The soldiers here were very familiar with him, and many of them took the initiative to greet the old man, which even seemed flattering to Damian.
Perhaps it was because Thomas Wayne opened a casino in the local area and was very good at dealing with people, so although the old man always had a cold face, he was quite popular among these guys with "special hobbies".
The two were not stopped and walked smoothly into the bottom floor of Arkham Asylum.
This is commonly known as the VIP area.
But the further he went in, the more ominous Damian felt. The old man still didn't want to say a word, but Damian noticed that a certain emotion in his eyes was becoming increasingly gloomy.
It felt like sadness, or resistance, or even a feeling of disgust when approaching something terrifying.
A few minutes later, the two stood in front of a ward with five locks. Thomas glanced at Damian beside him, reached out his hand and knocked on the door, saying:
"are u there?"
"I have always been here, my dear Thomas."
A hoarse voice soon sounded from the ward.
It was a woman's voice, and she didn't sound young anymore. She seemed very happy about the old man's arrival, and she stretched out her voice and said joyfully:
"I have been waiting for you to come and see me, you heartless man. I know you have always missed my smile. I was wrong before. I scared you.
But not now.
I have been learning makeup over the years.
I can now put on very good makeup, a makeup that always makes me smile, and I have been waiting for you to come and see me.
My Thomas.
Wait a moment, I'll be done with my makeup soon..."
"You better clean up."
Thomas Wayne closed his eyes and said in a tone of suppressed discomfort:
"I have brought a visitor to see you, and I thought you would not wish to frighten him."
"guest?"
The people in the ward were stunned for a moment, and their voices rose several degrees.
She screamed:
"No! There shouldn't be any guests! I don't want to see outsiders. Everyone except you is a villain and they all deserve to die! It was they who killed my baby.
I don't know who is behind this.
But it doesn't matter, if we kill them all, no one can hurt us anymore, Thomas, listen to me, I have a plan, a great plan.
If you help me, we can take out the others!
Then……
Then our family can live happily together forever."
"Calm down, you look so crazy that it makes me uncomfortable."
The old man whispered:
"The guest I brought is named Damian Wayne, and he comes from another world. I have confirmed his identity, and he is indeed Bruce's son.
This is our little grandson.
I brought him to see you...
Martha. "
