Chapter 290 88. Decentralized Management Master Mason Cooper
Old A's affirmative reply that there would be support gave Mason reassurance, but he himself did not expect that support would come so quickly.
Just when Mason properly installed the reverse lightning in the suitcase factory and returned to the deck with Harley and Zod, Catwoman, who was supposed to go to Paradise Island with Thalia but turned back halfway, immediately stepped forward and said to him: < br>
"Zha Kang just reported a special situation. He said that the world gate we placed in Osborne Tower is shaking, and there are many strange connection requests.
He could only tell that one of them belonged to the Afterlife team, whose identification code Judy had given us.
But the remaining strange requests all come from the teams under Mr. Hunter, such as the Akers team and the three teams of Holy Shield, Defender and Punishment that have just entered the Hunter vassal.
Even the six-headed snake team that was half disabled in the hands of the old Green Goblin received transfer orders from the Star Castle.
Zha Kang has contacted them, and they said that they will enter this world in an hour at the latest and complete the construction of twenty transfer doors. Counting the two existing small ones in our hands and the hands of the afterlife team, we now have a total of There are twenty-two transfer gates. ”
Catwoman looked at Mason suspiciously and said:
"And Mr. Hunter also said that he will be there personally, and even the Star Castle will allocate part of its resources to support this unplanned transfer operation. It is currently planned to complete the rescue of this world within 72 hours.
And the source of it all is you, little Mason.
Tell your sister honestly, have you joined some weird force behind my back? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why your appeal has become so strong all of a sudden. ”
"Well, it's hard to explain."
Facing Catwoman’s series of questions, Mason pretended to be dumbfounded and said:
"Maybe it's because we're lucky?"
"Hmph, don't say it if you don't want to say it."
Catwoman crossed her arms and pouted and said:
"You have no idea what your own luck is! However, it is a good and perfect ending for this matter to come to this point. I won't ask any more questions.
But I have a suggestion. ”
She looked around and whispered to Mason:
"Although Team K will be permanently stationed at Osborne Tower in the future, it is equivalent to giving up our home world as a base in disguise, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is a pity to give up like this.
How about I take Jack and the others back to Gotham to change their appearance and continue to host the Glacier Bar? By the way, to act as a connector between you and Bruce, we need to leave some eyes there. ”
"You just want to go back and enjoy the world of two people with me. You feel that you owe that man and Thalia's joining puts you under a lot of pressure.
After all, only women can truly understand who their opponents are. ”
Mason immediately revealed Lady Selina’s little plan. He waved his hand and said:
"But it's not impossible, but we have to wait until this matter is over to see if we can get some special gadgets from the Star Club to ensure the absolute safety of the Glacier Bar. Otherwise, I don't dare to throw you over there like that.
< br>
We are too conspicuous there now. Although Bruce is helping to tie things up, if those guys continue to investigate without mercy, it will only be a matter of time before you are exposed. ”
"That's true."
Catwoman sighed regretfully and said:
"Oh, I was dragged into the pirate ship by you, and now I am reduced to an old aunt who has a home and cannot return."
"Don't make trouble, you are having fun yourself."
Mason reassured:
"I will solve this problem. Now go and help coordinate the affairs on Paradise Island, okay? By the way, help me keep an eye on Thalia."
After hearing that she could cause trouble for her love rival, Lady Selina immediately became interested. She waved her fingers and stepped into the shining Hermes talisman next to her, turning herself into a stream of light and teleporting towards the paradise island.
"Mason, are you worried about Thalia acting up?"
Harry next to him rolled his eyes and whispered:
"Do you want me to help you get rid of her? Maybe I can draw some ideas from Mr. J's past, and we can create a little 'accident' for her.
Little Damian might be sad for a few days, but time and Aunt Martha would heal him. ”
"Being good will be the greatest help to me."
Mason glared at Harry who had come up with random ideas and said:
"Did you miss your medicine again today? Or Quinn took your place again. Don't be so vicious, Harley."
"I'll try my best."
Harley shook Mason's wrist, put it on her heart, and said:
"Whatever you say is what you say. I am very obedient. But I feel that my heartbeat is abnormal. Can you help me take a look?"
There was a provocative smile on her face, full of encouragement, but Mason coughed and withdrew his hand. He pursed his lips, and Harley turned to look.
The gloomy old man was standing in the shadows behind, looking at them faintly.
"Hey, no matter which world we are in! Batboy is so annoying!"
Harley screamed in annoyance at being interrupted. After Mason's instructions, she took out the demulcent and drank it in one gulp. Then she angrily turned around and left with her two vicious dogs and a baseball bat on her shoulder.
She's really smart.
She knew that the old man must talk to Mason about something, so she left space for Mr. K.
"There are not many good and sensible girls like this."
Thomas Wayne walked out of the shadows. He watched Harley drive the two big dogs to cause a series of chaos and disappeared around the corner of the deck. Then he said to Mason in a mute voice:
"Aside from her slightly crazy personality and mental uncontrollability, this girl is a really good assistant, but maybe you need to put a collar on her and make sure the chain is always in your hand.
But she's obedient and trying to please you, so it's not that hard. ”
"But that's not what a Batman would say."
Mason complained:
"I don't want to take advantage of Hallie's dependence on me to do something bad. I owe her something, and of course, speaking from the bottom of my heart as an older gentleman with a mentally ill wife, I'll give it some context.
Are you here to talk to me about where you are going? Don't worry, I promised you I'd let you meet Bruce, and I always keep my word. ”
"No, that's not what I'm thinking about now."
Thomas Wayne took out the activation key of Fenrir's armor from his belt in his house, handed it back to Mason, and whispered:
"I hope you will reconsider taking Martha and I out of this world, especially Martha. I doubt her reaction after meeting Bruce.
I didn't even dare think about the consequences of her getting close to him.
She's gone crazy, Mason.
There was no cure for her.
And I
In fact, I am not very normal. Years of rage, hatred, disregard and killing have made me unable to control the darkness in my heart. I have long been out of tune with the world of normal people.
Perhaps it is the best choice to leave us lunatics who have been twisted by the world here to coexist and die with this world.
I am very grateful to you for letting me see Damian before the end. After learning that the blood of the Wayne family is passed down safely in another world, I have made peace with my fate and am relieved from the world.
I can finally welcome my demise without resentment.
Maybe I shouldn't have been there in the first place. ”
"No, it's not the changing direction of the world that has changed you, Thomas."
Mason explains:
"I asked Barry Allen. When he had a premonition that the entire Speed Force matrix was about to collapse, he restored the world's direction this time to the situation seventeen years ago.
What you are experiencing was not fabricated by a speedster.
You are the most authentic you now.
The only difference is that you didn't meet me seventeen years ago, and now, I have appeared in front of you. I don't want to be a messenger of hope, nor do I want to use these things to blackmail you.
But the fact is that your own world may be about to collapse, but Bruce still needs your help. ”
He paused and said to the silent old man in front of him:
"The death knell in my team has told me his origin. There are spies from the Star Society in my world, and they are eager to plan an invasion of my side.
As long as the aftermath of the third impact dissipates, a massive invasion will be put on the agenda, and Bruce and his friends will need to fight against the evil from the dark star sea.
Thomas, they are weak.
They need help.
I would love to help them, just as I help other worlds, to aid my homeland, but the fact is, we need more companions and the power hidden in the shadows.
You can't join the Star Club!
I don't want to send you more candles that can burn majestically to Lord Destiny, but you can join this upcoming dispute in another way.
I can't put all my eggs in one basket, so your faction is my preparation for starting a new one.
The purpose of sending you there is not just to reunite the Wayne family.
I want you to lurk in my world and accumulate strength as a third-party force, so that when we need help, you can complete an unplanned divine weapon descending from the sky. ”
Seeing that the old man was still silent, Mason took out his notebook, turned to the latest page, tore it out and handed it to the old man.
The latter took it in his hand and glanced at it, and said in surprise:
"Well, this is really a bold plan. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I don't think that bastards like Diana Prince and Arthur Curry who you defeated will be willing to obey my orders.< br>
In fact, I didn't even have the confidence to control Martha. ”
"Then you have to start making plans now, Thomas."
Mason said:
"I'm not asking you to help me revise this plan, I'm informing you that this is your next job.
Talia's father, Rexiako, has always longed for Bruce Wayne to lead the League of Assassins he left behind, and Talia, an ambitious woman, does not deny this.
I want you to control the League of Assassins, so you'll have to get rid of Thalia first, and then I'll give her a job that's more suitable for her.
War Queen Diana and Mad King of the Seven Seas Arthur Curry will be your war dogs, Martha Wayne and her elite Arkham criminal gang will be your evil think tank, and the digitized Cyborg program will You build an airtight data intelligence network.
Damian Wayne, your little grandson will help you with this every step of the way.
He needs a suitable elder to teach him, and at the same time, he also needs experience and growth, and the blood in his body and the devil's head sword in his hand are the best blessings for your legitimacy.
You see, I've been planning this from the beginning. ”
He paused and said to the old man:
"I know you will promise me, Thomas. I also know that you may not like this arrangement but you will do your best to do your best.
Because you know that your actions are protecting that world while protecting your son.
You've lost him once, and you never want to lose him a second time.
And this is my gift to you. ”
Mason put the Fenrir armor activation key that the old man had returned to him back into Thomas Wayne's hand. He said:
"The first authority over the Fenrir Armor prototype has been transferred to you when you drove it to beat Reverse Flash just now, and Delaman left a full set of combat databases for the Cyborg program to receive.
You will also soon have your own Revenge Batmobile and Revenge Fighter, and I will also customize a new Bat suit and weapon accessories for you.
You will become Gotham City's second Batman, a more cruel, ruthless and feared Batman.
You and your son will ride through the night skies of Gotham together.
You can teach him a lesson, or you can help him, whatever you want to do with your relationship, I will not interfere at all and I have no ability to interfere.
My only request is that when Team K returns to our hometown at some point in the future, I want to see a terrifying army that can defeat all invading enemies!
And you!
Thomas Wayne, the Dark Knight forged from rage and revenge, you are the best commander I could have chosen for my army of Gotham minions. ”
These words were so convincing that the old man couldn't find any reason to refute. Mason had revealed all his thoughts, and the old man's character was also affected.
But he still adhered to the principle of duplicity that the men of the Wayne family always had, and deliberately said in a mute voice:
"What if I refuse? You know, Mason, I didn't kill those criminals because I enjoyed killing, I just had to, but now, I have lost that reason."
"Simple."
Mason took a step back and looked up at the clown aunt above the deck who was wearing a purple suit and letting her long green hair fly in the air.
He waved hello to Mrs. Martha who was "looking at the scenery", and then said to the old man:
"If you refuse my invitation, Thomas, I will change the name of the subject of the plan from 'Thomas Wayne' to 'Martha Wayne'. After replacing the full text, I will show it to Grandma Martha. I believe I am willing to pay any price to do so. Martha, who protects her lost and found baby son, will not hesitate or compromise in doing this.
I also know that if she were to let it go, she would probably choose to burn Gotham City to ashes overnight in order to protect Bruce Wayne.
And there is a high probability that no one can stop her from doing this.
So, for the sake of the already suffering people of Gotham getting a good night's sleep tonight, please help us, okay? You see, I even picked out your location in Gotham for you.
It's in the same location as your casino, even the orientation of the floor-to-ceiling windows is exactly the same. ”
He shrugged and said:
"You can look out over the city with Lady Martha and pick out how it differs from your own Gotham like a game of connect-and-check.
I've even prepared a new outfit for your loyal butler Oswald.
He could replay his role as Penguin in that city as if I had never been there.
Only I disappeared
Only those who are wary of me can truly relax, and only if I truly hide in the darkness can I discover where those malicious eyes looking at me come from.
Covert operations, this is the tradition of the Bat Family, it is our tradition. ”
The old man did not retort.
He went through the brief plan given to him by Mason again carefully. After a moment, he reached out and took off the too dark Vengeance Knight mask on his head, revealing his face of a middle-aged man who was no longer young and had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
He pointed to the wrinkles on his face and gray hair and said:
"Last question, I'm old, Mason, and I've been taking the 'magic hormones' that are used to strengthen my body and it's ruining my health.
How do you solve this problem? ”
"唰"
As if by magic, Mason pulled his hands, and more than seven or eight bottles of injection liquids of various colors in syringes of various shapes were placed in front of the old man.
An introduction to the evil alchemist:
"The super soldier serum that comprehensively strengthens the body and gives superhuman physical strength and endurance, the green devil potion that is short-term but very effective and has side effects that I have weakened, the warrior injection that is used to temporarily strengthen and give special abilities, prepared with my own serum Isu serum, appropriately weakened version of Superman enhancer, etc.
There's something for you, Thomas.
If you can wait a little longer, after my research on symbionts enters the next stage, I can come up with more options for you.
It's just old age.
For an alchemist, this is not a problem. In a word, as long as you are willing to do it, I can guarantee that you will work in good health until the day you voluntarily retire.
Think of this as an ‘onboarding benefit’.
I will reimburse your medical insurance in the future, Thomas, don’t have anything to worry about. ”
These words made the old man choked and speechless. He shook his head and said:
"I need a Robin."
"Me me me!"
Damian, who was hiding and eavesdropping, rushed out with his hands raised and shouted to his grandfather from another world:
"I can be your revenge Robin! I've been training for this for years, give me a chance Thomas, uh, I mean, grandpa?" (End of Chapter)
