Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 62: I think you beautiful women are really too extreme
It was already breakfast time when Mason arrived at Wayne Manor , but the entire manor was already extremely busy.
Almost all the servants have been mobilized to do a thorough cleaning of the castle, and the precious carpets and various decorations in the rooms have to be replaced in preparation for the important ceremony that will be held two days later.
Although Catwoman and Batman were sure that this was just a small-scale party, especially since the old man had learned from the failure of the last wedding and did not intend to hold a grand ceremony.
But the ideas of the wedding protagonists could not interfere with the wishes of the actual controller of Wayne Manor, the "Butler ".
How could Butler Alfred, who has served the Wayne family for most of his life and has already become a member of the family, allow this wedding, which is extremely important to the family, to be passed in a perfunctory manner?
After Bruce Wayne lost his parents at the age of eight, it was Alfred who almost single-handedly raised him. It was not a big deal to call him adoptive father. Without the participation of his parents, the rhythm of the entire ceremony was completely controlled by Alfred.
The old man, who was almost seventy years old, was full of energy. When Mason walked into the hall, he saw him full of energy and commanding like a general about to go to war. Several assistants followed him to help Butler Ah Fu confirm various ceremony details.
The eldest young master pushed Barbara's wheelchair and stood aside feeling aggrieved, not daring to speak. It was obvious that he was being scolded because the accident caused by the young couple had disrupted the old housekeeper's arrangements.
As for the second barrel...
The killer with a cold face was trying on the best man's clothes in front of the mirror next to him like a puppet.
People had to go to a store to try on clothes, but with a wave of the old butler's hand, all the equipment from the three most luxurious tailor shops in Gotham City was moved in, and the work started on the spot in Wayne Manor.
Logically speaking, a wedding dress is something you only wear a few times in your lifetime, so it's OK to rent one. But look at where you are. Saying the word "rent" in Wayne Manor is simply a blasphemy to this place.
"What do you want them for?"
The captain looked at the old tailors who were taking measurements for Ertong and said to Harley and Quinn beside him with a pout:
"I can do it by myself. If it doesn't work, call the tailor over. It can be done in an hour."
"Your tailor is reserved for Master Wayne and Ms. Kyle."
Old Alfred came over and looked Mason up and down, stroking his chin, and said:
"You will be in charge of making their wedding attires. As for your own clothes, you should leave them to these excellent tailors. What are you still standing there for? Mason, go and try on the clothes.
The first rehearsal will begin in two hours.
I will arrange security procedures based on the results. I don’t want this wonderful day to be interrupted by something bad.”
"You're kidding, aren't you?"
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said:
"All members of Team K have been invited, as well as spectators from other worlds. There are six Kryptonian guests alone, three Wonder Women, two Aquamans, two Lanterns, Thor and Captain Marvel, and the backbone of the Avengers. If all this is not enough, Watu will be here to take notes in person.
With so many people here, why are you still worrying about security?
Even if Darkseid contacts Thanos to cause trouble together, he should consider whether Apokolips is big enough for us to destroy."
"That being said, we still have to make the necessary preparations. This is the Bat Family's style."
The old butler shook his head stubbornly, rejecting Mason's optimistic view. In his opinion, considering the grudges that Master Wayne had accumulated over the years, it would not be easy for the wedding to go smoothly.
He sent Mason and Harley off to try on clothes with Quinn.
As a result, Mason approached and chatted with several old tailors, which gave them a great shock. After he summoned the tailors to drive over to work, those tailors who were completely crushed in terms of skills voluntarily resigned from their jobs.
There's no way around it. It's an occupational disease. That's how professionals are. They will never allow even the slightest flaw to be seen in their field.
"Why do you think you're keeping such a straight face?"
When Mason picked up the tailor's ruler and measured Ertong's shoulder width, he couldn't help asking:
"I know you have some opinions about Batman, but that's all in the past. Can't this good thing make you smile? Or are you planning to turn into the Scarlet Knight again at the wedding to teach Batman a lesson or something?"
"No, my dissatisfaction comes from other aspects."
Ertong replied with a cold face.
This made Mason even more curious.
He turned his head to look at the eldest master and Barbara beside him. Batgirl shrugged and was about to tell Mason the secret, but a few seconds later, the laughter of women came from the depths of the hall.
Mason glanced over there and was stunned.
Selina Kyle, the future matriarch of the Wayne family, was walking down the stairs holding the arm of her love rival, Talia al Ghul, like good friends. The two of them were talking and laughing, and their intimacy made people feel like they were in a dream.
The captain understood immediately.
He glanced at Ertong with a strange look, then turned back to look at Barbara and said:
"Selina asked Talia to be her bridesmaid? My goodness, is this a declaration of sovereignty? Or does she think her life is too comfortable, so she plans to add some intensity to her married life?
Didn't she know that Talia had passed the Templars' saintly training and became a true assassin saint?"
"She knows, she's just crazy."
Barbara sat in her wheelchair, holding her forehead with her hand and sighing:
"The war between the two of them is about to end. Selina has won a great victory. Given her personality, how could she let Talia go? Now you know why Alfu insisted on arranging security, right?
Grayson and I are worried that Talia will stage a bloody wedding for us in two days at the wedding where she will kill her rival."
"And to make matters worse, Thalia has already accepted the invitation to be maid of honor."
The eldest young master glanced at the second barrel with an icy face and whispered to Mason:
"And it's right up against Jason, you know? This situation is getting more and more awkward."
"Hey, you guys are all here."
A familiar voice sounded from the entrance of the hall, and Zha Kang, dressed like a clown and dressed as a magician's assistant, walked in triumphantly carrying a bunch of magic props.
Next to him is Mark Zuckerberg, who is dressed classically.
She is a master who was invited by Afu to attend the wedding and perform magic to entertain the guests. She also attends the wedding ceremony of her childhood sweetheart as a childhood friend.
But as soon as Xiao Zha and Zha Kang entered the hall, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. After learning the truth from the gossipy Harley, the male wizard clapped his hands and grinned:
"Oh, what's so difficult about this? We are just shy. If it were me , I would be doing a disservice to this special occasion if I didn't do something fancy at the wedding...
Ahem, what I mean is that it’s time to resolve Ertong’s knot.”
The murderous look from Zack behind him made Kang, who wanted to tell some dirty jokes, change his words immediately. He moved his body, winked, pulled Mason aside and whispered a few words, then the two of them shared a cigarette and left the hall, not knowing what to do.
"Jason, are you okay?"
After finishing the hypocritical sisterly conversation with Selina, Talia's face turned cold the moment she turned around. Her speed of changing expression was amazing.
At the same time, he shook his hands as if he was shaking off some dirt.
It was obvious that she was very unhappy about Catwoman's arrangement, but she was still forcing a smile for the sake of decency.
Before leaving the hall, this vixen-like bad woman came to Ertong, who was helping the tailor to measure his legs, and put on a charming gesture, saying to Jason Todd, who didn't even look at her:
"Bruce and Selina ended up together, which was beyond my imagination, even though I thought Selina's attempt to claim her sovereignty over me was childish.
The piece of meat in her belly means nothing at all. Damian's presence makes me invincible.
But she is already married after all, and it would be impolite for me to get involved. Besides, I am getting old and have to find a home for myself.
Unfortunately, I don't have many choices. Apart from Bane, you are the only one left."
"Shut up."
Ertong said coldly:
"I finally got over that anger, please don't let me recall it, Talia, it's not a good memory for either of us.
Just because you failed miserably in your confrontation with Selena doesn't mean I have to be the one taking the blame.
I hate you!
I won't hide this fact. In my eyes, you are just a fox in human skin. Don't provoke me for the sake of your life."
“But people say emotions are external to the mind.”
Talia didn't agree.
She looked at Jason in front of her with a playful look, and said in a long voice:
"If you are really no longer influenced by me, with your personality you would draw your sword when I open my mouth or not care at all about what I say. Look at your tense posture now, you look angry and dangerous, but I know that the more you are like this, the more confused you will be, hesitating between killing me and hugging me.
Jason, I have a place in your heart and you will never be able to deny that.
Not just because of the physical intimacy between us, but because you've always wanted to prove that you're more powerful than Batman, and treating me as some kind of trophy would obviously satisfy that dark and arrogant thought in your heart.
You are no longer a pioneer, and when you return to your own life, you naturally have to pick up your dream of surpassing Batman.
Mmm, what a lovely boy... Perhaps taking you away a second time will cause more pain to the man who hurt and abandoned me."
She reached out and tried to touch Ertong's cheek.
As her fingers approached, Ertong's fists clenched and made a clicking sound. The tailor next to him pushed up his glasses and cooperatively handed over the paper cutter at hand, which Ertong held in his backhand.
This bad fox is clearly playing with fire, and she's enjoying the dangerous touch.
But just before Talia's fingers touched Ertong's cheek, a bloody dart shot out, causing Talia's figure to instantly retreat and jump out of the attack area like a flash.
She glanced back at the hall entrance.
As Mason and Zha Kang were watching the show with puffs of smoke on their left and right, the vampire lady Selina, who was wearing a black leather jacket, had already grasped the hilt of the knife at her waist with her left hand.
The pair of bloodshot eyes on the pale face that was very similar to Talia's but more cold and charming stared at her time-space alter ego. She scolded in the hoarse voice that was unique to vampires:
"Get your dirty hands off my baby! You filthy bitch!"
Her appearance and voice made Er Tong, who was tense, suddenly relax. The Scarlet Knight looked back at the vampire warrior who was striding towards him from the entrance. He said helplessly:
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you don't care about these things at all?"
"When a girl says she doesn't care, it actually means she cares the most. You're such a fool who doesn't understand women's hearts! I asked you to leave, but you just left without even looking back.
So well-behaved that it makes me feel desperate."
Under Talia's surprised gaze, Ms. Selina turned into a little bat and flew to Jason's side. In front of her face, she put her arms around Jason's neck and pulled his head down very forcefully for a deep vampire kiss.
This scene made Talia grit her teeth and clench her fists.
TMD!
Today was really a ghost!
It's fine that Catwoman has sworn her sovereignty over Bruce, but is this vampire bitch who came from nowhere also planning to swear her sovereignty over Jason Todd?
What's next?
Would Damian also bring a little girl to claim his son's sovereignty over her?
The world has really changed.
My fish pond is almost being scooped up by these bastard women! No, this won't work, I have to protect my fish pond. How can an assassin leader who can't even protect his own fish be qualified to call himself the King of the Sea!
"He's mine!"
The female vampire warrior protected Jason behind her, stared at Talia in front of her, and declared with the dark, deep and elegant temperament unique to the vampires:
"Keep your claws away, or I'll chop you off if you dare to get close to him!"
"I don't think Jason is anyone's private property. That child's personality won't allow him to live by relying on anyone. The fact that you can say such things proves that you don't understand him at all."
Talia narrowed her eyes and looked at the vampire in front of her. She sneered and said:
"Look at your face again. Don't you understand why Jason wants to play with you? My little cutie, you are just a substitute for me. How pathetic."
"She is not!"
Ertong put his hand on the shoulder of the trembling vampire warrior, and said to Talia very seriously and solemnly:
"Before I met Selina, I admit that I really couldn't get your image out of my mind, but after fighting side by side with her, the face in my heart has become blurred.
She and I didn't really know each other well enough, but we had enough time to get the job done.
I enjoy my time with her because I know she won't bite me when I'm distracted, and she won't use me as a tool to hurt Bruce like you do.
You lose, Talia, accept it.
Catwoman wins!
She wins in every aspect, you don't lose in appearance or figure.
You just don't love that man enough. You have too many ambitions and don't have much room left for love or even family affection.
That night...
The night we were together, you called out Bruce's name. Do you know what that means? You can't even admit that you've fallen.
You are the coward who is afraid to face the truth in your heart.
No wonder you lost so badly."
"Shut up!"
Talia was enraged, and two Isu light blades popped out from her wrists, but before she could make any further moves, Damian's scolding sounded from the other side.
The little madman stood on the edge of the second floor, holding his knife and shouting to the bottom:
"That's enough, mother, be decent."
"You should stand with me!"
Talia looked up at her son and shouted:
"I raised you with great difficulty, and your father never showed up in the first twelve years of your life. Damian, are you betraying me too?"
“You gave me life, but Selena taught me how to be a human being. She wasn’t a good mother either, but I could feel the warmth from her.
That is something you rarely give me.”
Damian whispered:
"Grandpa once told me that he had failed in educating you, and I think you have disappointed him, just as you are disappointing me now.
I have taken away what was left in the cosmetics you gave to Selina. As the next generation master of the Wayne family, I welcome you to attend my parents' wedding in two days.
But please come as my mother, and not for any other purpose."
"Shua"
The light blade is retracted.
Talia took a deep breath and looked at her son. Damian's eyes were full of weak pleading. He didn't want to make things worse .
"No need. I want to help the Templars take over the Assassin's League."
Talia brushed her long hair and said:
"Tell Selina for me that I can't be her bridesmaid. I wish her and Bruce Wayne happiness. Also, the things I put with her are only for pregnancy protection, not poison.
You little fool."
After saying that, Talia walked out of the hall without looking back, and happened to meet Martha who walked in holding little Bruce Kent. Aunt Clown could guess what happened here without knowing the whole process.
As they passed by, she whispered to Talia, whose eyes were red:
"Don't be discouraged, little girl. Just because you're married doesn't mean the war is over. It's only a matter of time before Selina Kyle's unstable nature brings her into conflict with my child, and then you'll have your chance.
You can always come back to be with your lover, and I would definitely welcome leaving Damian with a younger brother or sister.
I'll hold the door open for you."
"Your whole family are villains!"
Talia gritted her teeth and said:
"Tell Bruce for me that I dumped him! It's over between him and me. Wish him happiness."
