American comic world demon hunter

When Alfred elegantly pushed the dining cart into the hall, he saw four men sitting stiffly, and the original table decorations were scattered on the floor.

"It seems that I have more work, which is great. For a competent housekeeper like me, no amount of work is as scary as no work."

Alfred spoke to ease the tense atmosphere at the table. Dante turned back and smiled at Alfred, then put the white ivory back into the holster. Then he stood up and eagerly placed countless pizzas on the table. , the huge dining table was almost occupied by pizza, and Bruce, Lei Xiaogu and others only had a little space in front of them to accommodate their food.

"Eat, eat. I have been hungry all day. No one has the habit of praying. If not, I will start," Dante said.

"The truth is, none of us are people who rely on faith to solve our problems."

Lei Xiaogu took Dante's words, and the stalemate on the court was finally broken. Bruce glanced at Lei Xiaogu who was tasting truffles in displeasure, and he also forked a piece of foie gras into his mouth. The foie gras was so plump. The moist taste made Bruce feel a little better.

"If you don't mind, I'll take my seat too. Can you share with me what you're talking about? Since I've gotten older, my curiosity has always been increasing day by day, because I know that if I'm not more curious, I may soon be No chance to experience the beauty of the world.”

Alfred said and sat directly on the seat on the right side of Bruce. Listening to what he said, Malcolm smiled softly.

"You look very healthy. You look much better than my grandfather did back then. You know, my grandfather was nearly a hundred years old when he died. You should be able to break my grandfather's record."

"Look, this is really a perfect blessing. According to you, I still have forty years to squander." Alfred said, something suddenly occurred to him, so he couldn't help but ask came out: "What do you call me, distinguished gentleman?"

"Malcolm Merlin"

"Your grandfather returned to heaven when he was nearly a hundred years old, and your father must not be too young, but you look only thirty years old, which makes me a little envious." Alfred inquired about Malcolm's face in a natural tone. Message, he's a smart guy, always has been.

"Ha" Malcolm laughed out loud: "I don't look so young. My son has already grown up and is now old enough to inherit the family."

"If I remember correctly, Merlin is a very well-known surname. Is your family from Star City? I have been to Star City dozens of times. What impressed me the most in Star City was the ubiquity of Quinn and Merlin. symbols of."

"Indeed." Malcolm nodded lightly: "I grew up in Star City. No one loves Star City more than me. The Merlin family has always regarded building Star City as its own responsibility."

"This is a behavior worthy of respect. Just like Mr. Wayne, he is just like you. He regards the entire city as his home and tries his best to make this home more perfect and harmonious. However, Gotham lets him It’s disappointing, and the Wayne Group has been disappointing Gotham in recent years.”

"Afu" Bruce interrupted Afu: "I have come back, no one can harm Gotham under my hands, no matter who it is."

When he said this, Bruce looked at the silent Lei Xiaogu coldly.

Malcolm looked at Bruce's expression with a smile, and he said slowly: "I can understand your feelings. You know, the security in Star City is only slightly better than that in Gotham. What you saw in Gotham All the evils you see in Star City can also be found in the slums of Star City."

"At least Star City didn't receive a declaration from some terrorists to destroy everything, right?"

"Bruce" Malcolm became serious: "You are similar in age to my children. I may be able to understand the psychological activities of your generation. You are very smart and your mind is very powerful. I have to admit that the boy in my family is even You are not as good as one-tenth, so you should be more rational than you are now."

After Malcolm finished speaking, he picked up the red wine next to him and took a sip, and then he continued.

"Master and I came here with no other bad ideas. We just wanted to talk rationally about the possibility of our temporary alliance. If we put aside everything that happened in the past and now face the same enemy, can we seriously consider forming an alliance? The benefits it will bring to us in the future”

As Malcolm spoke, he carefully examined Bruce's eyes. When he saw Bruce's expression change from stubbornness to rationality, he spoke softly and continued.

"I know that part of your stubbornness and stubbornness just now was an act. Maybe our contempt for you will indeed give you an advantage in the war with us, but we have lost the possibility of confrontation at this time. The real mastermind behind the scenes As long as we exist, we will never be stable. Even if you think his main target is us, you can't deny that he did open the door to hell in Gotham, right?"

"You're right." Bruce lost his anger and madness in the blink of an eye. He nodded rationally, tapped the table with his fingers, and said, "You're right. He did commit an unjust crime." I will find him and punish him in the days to come, but that doesn’t mean we have to cooperate.”

Bruce's fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, and the sound made Malcolm feel stressed. For the first time, he regretted why he didn't have a son like Bruce.

Of course, Bruce couldn't guess what Malcolm was thinking, so he continued to talk on his own.

"Malcolm, as you just said, he opened the gate to hell in Gotham, which almost destroyed the entire Gotham. But don't forget that you also plan to open the microwave transmitter in Gotham. This is the same

It will destroy Gotham, so please tell me, how can I trust you, how can I trust the Shadow Warriors Alliance, which once aimed to destroy Gotham?"

As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Lei Xiaogu put down the knife and fork in his hand. He first carefully cleaned the residue on his lips with a napkin, and then looked at Bruce confidently.

"You gave me the reason to believe in me."

"I"

"That's right." Lei Xiaogu nodded and explained slowly: "On the narrow island this morning, on the battlefield where demons were raging, I saw the power of you and Dante, and I also saw your determination to protect Gotham. , you were so confident at that time, as if even the greatest difficulties could not get past you and hurt your Gotham, Bruce, since you were so confident, why are you timid now."

Lei Xiaogu said this and looked at Bruce with an angry look.

"Time is not waiting for me. My father-in-law has already established the Assassin's League. He even placed countless chess pieces around me. I don't think that a man who has hidden his desire for revenge for more than thirty years does not have other plans and preparations. , maybe at this moment, new conspiracies are constantly being arranged in his mouth. I want to solve this trouble more than you. You once said that I was his first target, but do you really dare to confirm this? , can you bet the lives of six million people in Gotham on the mercy he might have?"

"So, I want you to leave Gotham and never set foot in Gotham again," Bruce said coldly, his voice as hard as stone.

"You let me down, Bruce. You are so inflexible that you are destined to encounter countless difficulties and obstacles that you may not be able to solve in the future. I hope you can continue to be this stubborn forever. By then, even if I don't take action, you will be destroyed. It's in the hands of others." Lei Xiaogu said the last thing, and he turned to look at Dante.

"I don't know what Mr. Dante thinks about cooperation."

"Teacher" Bruce shouted quickly, and Dante stretched out his right hand and pressed it to reassure him.

Then, Dante looked at Lei Xiaogu and asked frivolously.

"I don't want to pay attention to the reasons for cooperation you mentioned. Now, tell me how you think we can cooperate, what we each have to pay, and what we each get."

"The fact that you are so direct is exactly what I want. The cooperation I am talking about is actually very simple. Both the Shadow Warrior Alliance and I are confident in defeating the Assassin Alliance, but that confidence is limited to the Assassin Alliance itself. If countless demons come forward to help the Assassin Alliance in the future, , then I have to admit that we may not be their opponents, so I need your power to suppress the demons. We are mortals, so we deal with troubles in the world. The enemies from hell are what I cooperate with you."

"Continue" Dante nodded, Lei Xiaogu's eloquence was indeed good.

Lei Xiaogu saw Dante nodding, and he continued confidently: "As for what you can get from our cooperation, the Shadow Warriors Alliance has lasted for more than two thousand years, and we have strongholds and offices in almost every city in the world. Detective, as long as the traitors buried among us by the Assassin Alliance are eliminated, then you can rely on the Shadow Warrior Alliance to get any information and help you want. If you also want other things such as power and money, that is not a problem. , the Shadow Warrior Alliance will meet all your requirements."

"can."

Dante finally nodded with satisfaction. He indeed needed a perfect intelligence agency. He also needed the red magic stone that appeared after killing the demon to enhance his power. As for whether Lei Xiaogu's words were credible, Dante himself There is a way.

Dante's right hand was held together with Lei Xiaogu's, which made Bruce frown in displeasure. He understood Dante's behavior, but understanding did not mean he could let go.

Malcolm looked at the frowning Bruce, and he gently raised his glass to signal Bruce.

"It seems that my master and your master have reached a cooperation, and now it is our two disciples' turn."

"He is my teacher, but that does not mean that I have to obey his orders. I still insist on my choice. I will not cooperate with the Shadow Warrior Alliance."

"What if it's not the Shadow Warriors Alliance, Bruce?" Malcolm drank the wine in his glass, smiled handsomely, and pointed to his chest.

"I have withdrawn from the Shadow Warriors Alliance. This matter has been approved by my master. Just like you traveled around the world to find a way to save your Gotham, the reason why I joined the Shadow Warriors Alliance is also to find a way to save Star City. , as the chairman of Star City Merlin Group and the patriarch of the Merlin family, I hope that Merlin Group and Wayne Group can reach cooperation. There are many projects that we can cooperate on. For example, we will soon build a highway from Gotham to Star City. No matter where we are, Cooperation in any field will bring about a large working population in Gotham and Star City and provide countless jobs for countless unemployed people."

Malcolm held out his right hand to Bruce.

"You can gradually verify the content of our cooperation in the future. The issue of the Assassin League and the devil is left to our two masters, and we each love our city deeply. Fighting evil simply by being a vigilante cannot completely eliminate evil. , let alone allow the people to live a better life, but the two of us join forces and then recruit other family groups to join us to improve the city's business environment, reduce the employment pressure of the working population, create more jobs, and improve the people's quality of life. Only by doing this can we make our city better and better.”

Malcolm looked at Bruce sincerely, and Bruce slowly stretched out his right hand and shook it with him. What Malcolm planned was exactly what Gotham needed, and the Wayne Group alone could not achieve what he said. .

As for whether Malcolm will keep his promise, Bruce has his own way to determine
