A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 741 He is himself, unique in the world...

Half an hour later, Falcone left the Prince Manor in a hurry. He had just betrayed the Owl Court, and now he urgently needed to go back and make arrangements in advance to deal with the possible revenge of the Owl Court.

As the godfather of the underworld who controls most of the underground empire, Falcone is used to seeing the big figures in the upper echelon face-to-face and behind-the-scenes, so naturally he will not naively pin his life on the guarantee of the Prince family.

After all, whether he wanted to or not, the action against the Court of Owls would eventually unfold.

And when the operation actually unfolds, the owl court will definitely think that there is an informer, and then find out that Falcone, the Soprano family with whom they have a cooperative relationship, has been invited to enter the Prince Manor-this is how Falcone will be so easily Reason for treason in court.

Because no matter whether he informs or not, the black pot will be firmly held on his head.

Now that Falcone is caught up in the vortex, he must do his best to protect himself and his family in the impending war between the Court of Owls and the Princes.

Soon, Chief Lebron and Harvey also left here in a hurry.

But compared with Falcone, they appear more flustered.

After all, they really don't know about the Owl Court. Although Loeb is the chief of the Gotham Police Department, his power comes from the system, so there is no threat to the Owl Court. As long as they control the mayor, they can rise from the top. Take control of Loeb and the entire Gotham Police Department.

Similarly, Lin Yi didn't care about the so-called chief of the Gotham Police Department.

The reason why they stayed was purely to confuse the public.

In Prince Manor, little Bruce sat on the sofa with his brows furrowed, as if racking his brains.

But no matter how he thinks about it, he is still only an eight-year-old child. His lack of knowledge prevents him from summarizing based on the stories, cases and experiences left by his predecessors. He can only rely on his immature logical thinking to reason bluntly.

Alfred looked at little Bruce worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Prince, are you sure that Falcone will not report this matter to the Owl Court?"

"Don't worry, he is a very sensible person."

Lin Yi paused, looked at Alfred and said with a half-smile: "What's more, the owl court will not tolerate the betrayal of partners, even if Falcone betrays when he goes out, the court will still send someone to arrest him." He's dealt with it, so, in a way, he doesn't have a choice at all."

"I see."

Alfred nodded, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Prince, may I take the liberty to ask, why do you and your family know so much about the Court of Owls?"

"of course can."

Lin Yi smiled, and turned to look at Alanna who was waiting in the living room.

Alanna nodded, and said calmly, "Because I am a member of the Owl Court."

Alfred and Bruce Jr. were both startled. The former took a step forward calmly, approaching Bruce Jr. on the sofa, to ensure that he could protect the young master immediately when the situation happened.

But then, Alanna said calmly: "Although I am a member of the Owl Court, I have never participated in any court meeting. To some extent, I am more like an honorary member of the court. It is the result of the court's fear of the Prince family and compromise."

"You have to understand that Gotham is still too small for the Prince family."

"..." Alfred frowned slightly.

At the same time, Diana came to the hospital bed, looked at the dying Joe Chill on the bed, and then suddenly asked, "Bruce, did he kill your parents?"

Little Bruce's eyes darkened: "Yes."

"Then why is he still alive?"

Diana snorted coldly, turned around under the astonished gazes of Alfred and Bruce Jr., pulled out a luxurious golden sword for decoration from the wall hangings, and threw it away.

"Pfft-"

The sharp blade pierced through the sand skin and leather easily, and landed precisely on Bruce Jr.'s side.

"Master Wayne!"

Alfred shouted nervously, and quickly stepped forward to get closer.

But before he took the first step, Alanna grabbed his arm, and her slender, white fingers were like iron clamps tightly clamping his arm, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Don't worry, Alfred." Lin Yi said with a smile, "My daughter has been learning swords since she was a child. Twenty years ago, she could easily cut off flies flying in the air, and she never missed it. In fact, if her hand Holding a sword, not even ten strong and experienced men like you can get close."

As he spoke, Lin Yi looked at Alanna with a smile, and Alanna nodded before letting go of her hand calmly.

Alfred blushed, pulled back his arm that had finally broken free, straightened his clothes, looked at Lin Yi and said with a sneer, "Dear Lord Prince, I don't know if your daughter can defeat ten A man like me, but surely your maid can kill ten strong bison!"

"Actually, she can!"

Lin Yi replied with a strange smile.

At this moment, little Bruce pulled out the golden sword beside him, staring blankly at the reflection of his immature face on the blade.

"kill him."

Diana said calmly.

Little Bruce frowned and looked at her: "Why?"

"Because he killed your parents, and you want to avenge your parents."

"No, I won't do it." Little Bruce shook his head, "Officer Gordon has assured me that he and the Gotham Police Department will seek justice for my parents."

"...is that enough?"

Diana asked back, frowning.

Little Bruce was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt that the words were familiar, so he turned to look at Lin Yi, who was smiling but not smiling.

Lin Yi asked him the same question when he was in the Gotham Police Department. As expected, like a father, like a daughter, the father and daughter are carved out of the same thinking pattern!

Although he didn't know what to complain about, Bruce still had such a sentence in his heart.

After a long time, little Bruce put the golden sword on the coffee table with a serious expression, and slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, Ms. Trevor, Mr. Prince, no matter how many times you ask me, my answer is still the same."

"why?"

"Because if I did, what difference would I make from him?"

"Of course there is a difference. You just avenge your parents, but he..."

"There's no difference!" Little Bruce said firmly. "At least to me, there's no difference between the two! Ms. Trevor, I don't know what your father taught you, but my father once said to me , there is only one and an infinite number of times for anything bad."

"If I take his life today for revenge, tomorrow, maybe someone will insult my dead parents and have the idea of ​​killing him. The day after tomorrow, maybe it's just a slightly disrespectful look. Insulting words..."

"Anyway, it's not right!"

Little Bruce said loudly.

Those immature but firm words echoed in the living room, and Diana was taken aback for a while.

Alfred couldn't help smiling, looking at Bruce with comfort and doting eyes.

Lin Yi also couldn't help laughing. Although Bruce Jr.'s ideas were still very immature, and mixed with many concepts instilled in him by his father Thomas, overall, the not-to-kill concept that belongs to the future Batman has begun to take root. .

"You're right, little Bruce!"

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Humans are creatures that constantly compromise with their own bottom line. If you want to stick to your own bottom line, the only effective way is to firmly abide by your first bottom line."

Hearing this sentence, little Bruce's eyes lit up immediately.

For the young Bruce at this moment, there are only vague concepts in his mind, and he has never heard such a clear and mature theory.

For a moment, as if he had found a confidant, Bruce Jr. developed a faint admiration and approval for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi ignored Diana's weird eyes, and continued to ask encouragingly: "Just now, you saw the leader of the underworld and white ways in this city, now tell me, who do you think is the root of Gotham's darkness? ?”

Little Bruce thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly: "Mr. LeBron?"

"why?"

"Because he is the police chief of Gotham City, but he is corrupt and incompetent, and even colluded with the Gotham underworld family Falcone, causing the Gotham Police Department to completely lose its credibility..."

"You are right, but unfortunately, the answer is not him."

"That's Falcone! He is the godfather of Gotham's underworld. He controls most of the city's underground empire and runs many illegal and criminal businesses. Even the Owl Court must first cooperate with him when it involves the underworld. "

"You are right, but the answer is not him."

"Who is that, could it be the Prince family?"

Little Bruce asked such a sentence seemingly innocently.

Alfred was startled, and just when he was about to explain to Bruce Jr., he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and his body fell limply.

Alanna supported Alfred's body, and then nodded towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled, and replied seriously: "The Prince family is huge and has unparalleled influence in the political, business and even military circles. It can easily change the city of Gotham. If I want, Prince The Si family can indeed become the source of darkness in Gotham, but unfortunately, I am not interested in changing Gotham..."

"Then what is the answer?"

Little Bruce asked, frowning.

"Thoughts." Lin Yi said seriously.

"Thought?"

"Yes, just now, I brought out the evidence that should have been stored in the police station, even the murderer who killed your parents, but no one, including you, was surprised by this, because you all You know, as long as I am willing, not to mention the mere evidence and the murderer, even the entire police station can take whatever I want."

"So you see, this is what makes Gotham so dark, so sick!"

"From the bottom of your heart, you don't think my behavior is wrong, and you even take it for granted, because I am the powerful and lofty Lin Prince, and even the police must crawl under my feet."

Having said that, Lin Yi paused, looked at the thoughtful Bruce and continued: "Of course, abstract concepts may be difficult for you to understand now. If you insist on finding a specific goal, I can only In other words, whether it is Falcone, Chief Lebron, or the Prince family, it doesn't really matter."

"But it's important to Gotham without them!"

"..." Little Bruce was slightly taken aback.

Lin Yi smiled slightly, and then explained: "Because there is no Falcone family, there will be Maroni family, Batino family, Coppert family and many other criminal families to take their place. In the same way, the police So does the chief."

"What about the Prince family?"

"Believe me, if there is no Prince family, then your Wayne family would be sitting in the position of the Prince family." Lin Yi said seriously.

Bruce bit his lips tightly. Although he felt that his father and grandfather would not do this, considering that the Wayne family was indeed the closest family in Gotham City to this position, the suspicious part of his heart still convinced him.

"Okay, the lecture is over. After the funeral of the Wayne couple, I will apply to be your guardian. At that time, you will move into the Prince Manor and receive one-on-one teaching from me."

When little Bruce came back to his senses, his expression was still a little unbelievable and incomprehensible.

"Are you really planning to accept me as a disciple?"

"That's right, and it's not just disciples..."

"Then am I Wayne, or Prince?"

"Of course it's Wayne." Lin Yi shook his head and said, "If you want, you can go back and check what the traditional Chinese master-student relationship is like, and you will understand what I mean."

"..."

Little Bruce frowned, and nodded half-understanding.

A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Yi's face: "Alanna, wake up your young master's housekeeper, it's time for them to go back to Wayne Manor to prepare. By the way, sorry, I will attend your parents' meeting on behalf of the Prince family. funeral."

The expression on Little Bruce's face became heavy, and after a slight bow, he got up and walked towards Alfred, who was waking up in a daze.

Soon, little Bruce left the manor with the vigilant and angry Alfred.

Diana frowned and walked to the coffee table, picked up the long sword put down by little Bruce, thought for a while, and suddenly swung it back, the long sword turned into a golden light and pierced through Joe Chill on the hospital bed with precision. heart.

Lin Yi frowned, and said helplessly, "Why bother?"

Diana shook her head: "Damn it, just now, I checked his memory with a lasso of truth, and guess what I found, drug use, robbery, theft, murder, and even rape, this guy does all kinds of evil, his crimes It's even more Gotham than most Gotham natives..."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes: "You know, I don't mean this."

Diana smiled: "Of course I know what you mean, but you also said that only human beings will continue to compromise their bottom line. I am not a human being. I am the son of Zeus, the body of a demigod, and even a warrior of Amazon. And soldiers never hesitate, this is the truth you taught me since I was a child, how did this child change his appearance?"

Looking at Diana's puzzled expression, Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.

"There is an old saying in China, which is to teach students according to their aptitude. You are a born warrior, so of course I will teach you according to the standard of a warrior, but Bruce is different..."

"Really, what's the difference?"

Diana looked at Lin Yi with great interest. She had long been curious about Lin Yi's behavior of favoring Bruce so much. Now that she finally had a chance to get an answer, of course she had to actively ask.

Lin Yi opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly.

"Don't ask, I can't answer you for the time being, just wait and see!"

"..." Diana rolled her eyes, "But there must be a standard, like I am a natural fighter, and Bruce, what is he?"

Lin Yi shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

He is nothing, he is himself, the only Batman in the world!
