Chapter 87 The Beginning of Dante’s Change
However, only by sorting out everything tonight can Dante take a good rest. He was tired, really tired, not physically exhausted, but mentally intoxicated.
Dante silently basked in the moonlight and strolled to a bar not far away. Even though the bar was noisy and the music was even louder, Dante could still distinguish the voices of Lei Xiaogu and Malcolm teasing the girls loudly.
Dante walked into the bar, crossed the bar, and stood in front of Lei Xiaogu.
"It seems that you two are having a lot of fun. You can continue and contact me later."
As soon as Dante finished speaking, Lei Xiaogu stood up instantly. The three charming women around her looked in astonishment as Lei Xiaogu, who could not speak clearly just now, walked up to Dante in high spirits.
Lei Xiaogu put his head into Dante's ear and whispered: "What happened? You look a little different."
"Shit" Dante cursed: "How come your eyes are so sharp? I just ran into a little trouble and it has been solved now. If nothing happens, come with me."
"Malcolm" Lei Xiaogu shouted immediately, and Malcolm followed Lei Xiaogu's footsteps. The three of them directly pushed the bartender in front of them and left the bar naturally.
"Damn it, brothers, the three of them haven't paid yet." The bartender who was pushed aside cursed angrily. In the blink of an eye, a dozen men stood up from all over the bar and chased them to the street outside the bar. , the leading bartender shouted: "Damn beasts, either stay and pay the bill, or stay with your dog's life"
Hearing the bartender's shout, Dante turned around depressedly. He looked at Lei Xiaogu beside him and asked, "You didn't pay the bill?"
Upon hearing Dante's question, Lei Xiaogu did not answer. Instead, Malcolm took off the gold watch on his wrist and threw it into the arms of the bartender.
"I never carry a wallet. This watch is enough to pay off tonight's bill. Any extra is a tip."
Dante nodded. Since Malcolm had given enough to pay the bill, it would be fine. Dante turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the bartender looked at the gold watch in his hand, rolled his eyes greedily, and quickly The watch was put into his pocket.
"Son of a bitch, that's a fake watch you pulled out, guys, I'm gonna beat the shit out of their mouths."
Listening to the chaotic shouts behind him, Dante took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth impatiently and said fiercely: "You can solve it yourself. I will wait for you at your stronghold."
After Dante finished speaking, Malcolm and Lei Xiaogu looked at each other. Lei Xiaogu smiled helplessly and saw that his only remaining right hand stretched out to the pocket on his left chest. When that hand stretched out, there was so much in his palm. Got a gun.
The same goes for Malcolm. He pointed his gun at the bartender and said loudly: "I will never have any fakes on my body. I hope you take a closer look."
"Fart, how could I be wrong? If I say it's fake, it's fake."
As the bartender answered, the gang members around him all pulled out their guns, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen pistols were pointed at Malcolm and Lei Xiaogu.
The next moment, there was a loud sound of gunfire. In less than half a minute, Lei Xiaogu and Malcolm solved this little trouble. They trotted to keep up with Dante.
"Look, this city is like this. People's moral values have dropped to the lowest point in human history. This is why I want to destroy it and bring new life to it."
Lei Xiaogu returned from a trot to walking at the same pace as Dante, while arranging his still damp clothes, and softly spoke his opinion.
"The people in this city have no etiquette and morality, their courage is surprisingly great, their greed is better than that of Grandet in Shakespeare's mouth, and their characters are far more embarrassing than the fraudsters in the myth. People hate me. Even if I have to admit my failure now, my original intention has never changed. This Gotham has no meaning of existence. Everything Bruce does can only make him physically and mentally exhausted. He is destined to embrace countless failures."
"As long as he is happy," Dante replied flatly, which made Lei Xiaogu start to reflect on whether his words were wrong.
Dante took two steps silently. He noticed Lei Xiaogu's constant frown, and finally spoke.
"Whether you or Bruce, you have already chosen your life. Protecting Gotham is his choice, and he likes his choice very much. Destroying Gotham is your choice, and you also like this choice, but your choice It has nothing to do with me, so don’t repeat your thoughts in front of me again.”
As Dante spoke, he stretched out his hands to grab the arms of Lei Xiaogu and Malcolm. He made a slight jump, and the three of them jumped from the window into their secret stronghold that was no longer a secret.
Dante carried the two of them to the two corpses. Then, Dante sat on the sofa. He found the most comfortable position to lie down and murmured softly.
"Whether Gotham exists or is destroyed has nothing to do with me. You can try to restart your plan in the future, and Bruce will always stick to his choice. I kind of look forward to seeing your continuous offensive and defensive battles, but those are all This is not something you should think about now, Lei Xiaogu, you just need to introduce these two corpses to me and the clues they bring you."
After Dante finished speaking, he closed his eyes completely. His head sank deeply into the back of the sofa, his hands were crossed behind his head, and his feet were crossed on the coffee table next to the sofa.
Lei Xiaogu frowned and looked at Dante. They had only been separated for less than an hour, but Dante's state had simply changed.

After taking a look, Dante now looks very cold, tired, and tired. Maybe he should really investigate and find out what happened in this hour. Maybe that can help him find Dante's weakness. so that
Thinking of this, Lei Xiaogu squatted down calmly and began to carefully examine the two corpses, as did Malcolm beside him.
"I know both of these two people. The bald one is a warrior I personally recruited three years ago. The short-haired one was recruited by three of my men seven years ago. They died of some kind of poison. Dante, they are not you. "Kill"
"Yeah" Dante made an affirmative nasal sound.
"Master" Malcolm interrupted Lei Xiaogu. He smiled helplessly at Lei Xiaogu and whispered: "Actually, they are all Lars al Ghul's people."
"Well, it seems that my organization has been completely corrupted by my father-in-law. He has almost the same vision and almost the same IQ as me. In the past, I defeated him by any means necessary, but now, he even dares to join forces with the devil. I Even the lowest limit has been lost to him.”
Lei Xiaogu smiled as he spoke.
"It looked like I couldn't win, just like when I first faced him."
It can be heard that he is actually confident because he has won before, and he is still sober because he is aware of all his disadvantages.
Dante gently shook his legs on the coffee table and said: "These two guys died in the hands of a demon. Since they are your father-in-law's men, it proves that your father-in-law has obviously not cooperated with the devil. Qualifications, he and his League of Assassins are at best serving the devil."
Having said this, Dante got off the sofa and stood up.
"I will track down the devil's information and I will solve them. The Assassin's League without the support of the devil will be left to you. As for the business cooperation between you and Bruce, Malcolm, I am too lazy to deal with it."
After Dante finished speaking, he jumped into the street. A moving figure appeared in the moonlight. His silver hair seemed to echo the moon.
At the same time, in the Batcave beneath the old Wayne mansion, Bruce was lying in front of the big screen, silently staring at the ruins on the screen. The fire brigade had left twenty minutes ago, and the flames on the ruins had disappeared. , only the residual heat that has not been completely released after burning left a layer of white gas on the monitoring screen.
Bruce didn't say a word. All his words had been said in front of the media. Regardless of the media's cruel questioning, Bruce really had nothing to say when facing this ruins.
Until Bruce saw two figures on the screen, that was Alfred and Lucius.
Bruce stood up. He watched Afu and Lucius move with difficulty in the ruins. They used two mechanical devices to move the ruins somewhere, and took out a dark safe from the ruins.
Even though the safe on the screen looked like just a small black dot, Bruce recognized the box immediately, and tears instantly flowed from his eyes until he stretched out his hand and stubbornly refused to let go. Wiped away all the tears.
What was in that safe was the pearl necklace that Bruce had put in himself eighteen years ago. It was the pearl necklace that his mother was wearing when she died. It was also the first day that his father gave this necklace to his mother. That day was when he The annual birthday was his mother’s Good Friday, and it was also the memorial day for his parents.
It was a day that was hard to explain. Bruce's tears had already explained the impression that day left on his heart.
When Dante re-crossed the waterfall and returned to the Batcave, what he saw was Bruce looking at the screen with red eyes.
"Hey, are you crying?" Dante shouted.
Bruce hurriedly turned to face Dante, grinning with difficulty and letting out a wry smile.
"Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought," Bruce said softly.
Hearing Bruce's words, Dante shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to laugh, I just envy you for being able to cry. Sometimes I also want to cry, but I can't."
"Teacher, are you comforting me?" Bruce walked up to Dante and hugged Dante. Then, he let go of Dante and pointed at the screen.
"Afu and Lucius are rescuing some memorable things from the ruins. Do you want to come together, teacher?"
Do you want to go together?
Dante hesitated for a moment, after all, he just wanted to have a good sleep, but looking into Bruce's eyes, he decided to fulfill his disciple's little wish tonight.
"I'll take you up"
Dante nodded as he spoke, and he took the lead in walking towards the elevator shaft where the elevator was stuck.
"There are countless ruins on top. Without me, it would be difficult for you to climb up from here, unless you choose to go out from the waterfall and take a twenty-minute detour."
After Dante finished speaking, he reached out to pick up Bruce's arm and jumped towards the ground.
Dante asked as he rose.
"Have you blocked the satellites and surveillance? No one will see me in this ruins, right?"
"Will not"
Bruce looked up at his teacher. He felt that his teacher seemed to have become a little more cheerful, but Lei Xiaogu would not agree with this. In his eyes, Dante had become more than a little cold.
