Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 137 Another Choice After Many Years
Black Arrow, that is, the guy who is running for his life to avoid Lynn's pursuit, his real identity is the head of the Merlin Group, one of the top chaebols in Star City, just like the Quinn Group: Marco Mmelin.

At the same time, he is also the biggest factor of instability in the entire Star City, the super behind-the-scenes man who has been plotting to destroy a quarter of Star City.

Malcolm Merlin was different from others. He didn't have any prominent background. Except that his surname could correspond to the great magician Merlin in ancient legends, there was nothing worth mentioning.

Self-made is the best and most appropriate evaluation of Maxim Merlin.

At the very beginning, Malcolm Merlin was really a pure and kind man. He was born in poverty, and by his hard work and ingenuity, he gradually turned the shoe repair shop left by his father into a small shop and a small company. , large companies... and then step by step, they became important local entrepreneurs.

While his career is successful, love also favors him.

Malcolm Merlin met the love of his life, and coincidentally, the person he loved loved him as much.

The two soon came together and gave birth to a son, that Tommy Merlin.

With a successful career, a wife and son, Malcolm ushered in the happiest period of his life.

However, the fate did not end in the same way, and always favored him.

Like him, Malcolm's wife is also a kind-hearted person. Although her husband is already one of the richest men in the city, she still lives a simple life. She goes to and from the slums every day to treat the local poor for free. , Solve the problems of education, food, medical care and so on for free.

Although Malcolm doesn't want his wife to be tired, he always supports his wife as much as he can.

During that time, Malcolm Merlin built a large number of public facilities in the slums for free, and also funded the construction of a hospital for the use of local residents, investing a lot of money in it every year.

At that time, the surname Merlin was one of the pronouns of pure kindness in the slums of Star City.

But, there are unpredictable things.

When Tommy was nine years old, his mother, Malcolm's wife, died in an accident.

And when Malcolm investigated a certain surveillance at the time, he discovered that his wife could have been saved at the time.

Those people in the slums, just for the jewelry on her body and the little cash in the wallet, watched helplessly as the woman they called an angel lost too much blood and died by the side of the road.

No one reached out, not a single phone call was made to the hospital.They watched like that, watched her die, and then happily snatched her watch, earrings, necklace, and stole her purse, then destroyed the footprints and other clues at the scene, and walked away in a panic.

It is precisely because of these people in the slums that Malcolm still does not know who killed his wife.

He turned all his hatred to those people in the slums.

Damn them.

Since then, Malcolm has tried many ways to avenge himself, and for this reason, his temperament has changed drastically, and he is no longer the kind and easy-going Malcolm who has always been approachable.

After repeated failures, Malcolm went away to Star City to follow a certain ninja master to learn his skills and see a wider world.

From this perspective, Malcolm and Batman are actually brothers.

After a few years of separation, Malcolm, who returned to Star City, became more sinister and cruel because of the teaching method of the ninja master that was not in line with the law.

He began to think that perhaps there was no need to find the ghetto killer.

Maybe they all deserve to die.

Everyone.

all exist.

With this in mind, Malcolm prepares a crazy plan.

He wants to build a machine to artificially destroy all the slums in Star City!Let everyone pay the price for their indifference!Let the entire slum area and everyone living there be buried with his wife! !
Since having such a crazy idea, Malcolm has put all his thoughts on this matter.

In order to place the machine, the site and other things needed for the plan, Malcolm had to buy a piece of land there, and he had to cooperate with other companies in Star City that were engaged in real estate and high-tech weapons laboratories.For this reason, Malcolm weaved many lies, and tied one star city boss after another to his chariot.

But his crazy plan was still seen through by his friend, the president of Quinn Group.

How could Malcolm allow someone to expose him.

So, under his instigation and persecution, Moira joined hands with him to create the shipwreck, causing old Quinn to die and Oliver Quinn to live on a deserted island.

Originally, Malcolm didn't care about anything else except his own plan.

Apart from putting on his uniform every day and taking a bow and arrow to kill people in the slums, his eyes are only on his own plan.

But one day, a long-lost ninja master appeared in front of him, asking him to find a way to fight for a certain spaceship that crashed in the ocean.

Although Malcolm agreed to Master Ninja, he hid a little thought.

After the guy who claimed to be General Zod came to the earth, he almost punched a big hole in the earth with that spaceship alone.

If... If he has mastered the wreckage of the spaceship himself, isn't it...

Therefore, although the salvage of the wreckage of the spaceship happened to be on Malcolm's ocean transportation route, he got the first move, but he only declared failure to the public, and handed over part of the wreckage to the military and part to the After master ninja, most of the rest.They were all blocked by him.

During this period of time, Malcolm was accelerating the plan to merge the high-tech laboratories of the Quinn Group, and all his thoughts were put on this matter. Even the indiscriminate killing of people who went out at night slowed down a lot.

But just earlier today, Moira suddenly called him secretly, telling him that a certain Gotham bandit named Lynn had come to Star City, and his purpose was the unknown object he found on the wreckage of the spaceship. ore.

Hearing this news, Malcolm was very disapproving. On the surface, he is the helm of a super large company with more than [-] employees, and his status is enough to treat everyone in the world as an equal.

In secret, not to mention his well-trained warriors who only obey his orders, he himself is a top ninja master who has undergone all kinds of tortures and successfully graduated from the ninja master.

A wanted guy who didn't deserve his attention at all.

If Moira hadn't repeatedly reminded him, even dropped the phone with him, Malcolm wouldn't even want to know who Lynn was.

Fortunately, he still went to find out.

It turns out that this guy named Lynn is the super criminal who almost turned Gotham over!

Only then did Malcolm care a little bit, but it was very limited.

However, the more detailed the information was, the information from the bright side was enough for him to face up to, and the information he got from certain people by using his secret identity shocked him even more.

Gotham has a guy named Batman!

How could he let a scary guy like Lynn run around? Is this also considered a hero who guards the city? !
What kind of hero are you! !

And just as Malcolm was yelling in the office, his men brought him another bad news.

His son, his and his wife's only child, seems to have... captured a guy named Lynn.

After repeatedly confirming who arrested whom and who was arrested three times, Malcolm really panicked.

Tommy, Tommy!You said why did you provoke that Lynn!

It's too late to hide...

Although Malcolm, who has been blinded by hatred since his wife passed away, has been neglecting to discipline his son Tommy, this does not mean that he does not care about the only child of himself and his wife.

Although he was usually reluctant to see him, which made the relationship between father and son tense, but now that he knew that his son had kidnapped Lynn... No, it was his son who was kidnapped by Lynn, and Malcolm suddenly panicked.

Judging from what Lynn he learned from those materials, if he went late, Tommy would definitely die!
In a hurry, people continued to pay attention to and collect news about Lynn. Malcolm didn't care that it was broad daylight. He got a car, changed into his combat uniform, and rushed out of the city with his bow and arrows on his back.

Usually Tommy always wanted to prove himself in front of him, but he was too ambitious and incompetent. After the toy factory went bankrupt, it had become a gathering place for Tommy and Oliver, a gangster of the same kind.

He must be there!
Sure enough, Malcolm smelled a strong smell of blood from a long distance away. At this moment, he only regretted that he did not have the ability to smell the blood type, and could not tell whether his son had lost too much blood to death... …

Just like, his wife was the same back then...

Thinking of this, Malcolm got out of the car in a hurry, put his bow and arrow on his back and ran into the factory.

To his surprise, he not only saw his son and Lynn in the factory, but also saw a man who used a bow and arrow like himself, trying to stop Lynn and save his son Tommy.

With a lot of thoughts, Malcolm vacillated between the original plan to lure Lynn away and the plan that suddenly popped up in his mind to unite with the Green Arrow guy and shoot Lynn together.

Frankly speaking, Malcolm himself was extremely hesitant about how to calculate the wreckage of the spaceship and the mysterious ore that he had obtained with the life of his son.

However, the form off the court did not give him too much time to think.

Almost just after a few rounds of fighting, the Robin Hood-like Green Arrow lost all his arrows and was approached by Lynn.

In the next second, Lynn appeared behind Tommy, and raised the arrow in his hand high.

Whoosh!
Malcolm had actually made a choice when he shot the arrow.

"Lyn, what you want is here with me."

It's just a stone, so it's not as important as his son's life.

Do you want to watch him die? ! !
　Sure enough, it is useful to ask for tickets to add updates →_→

I did what I said, I got off work a bit late today, and there is no time, so tomorrow will be three shifts, and I will guarantee a minimum of [-] words!Two are for daily use, and one is for monthly tickets plus changes.

In addition, Malcolm is really miserable and a villain with a story. In the TV series version, he paid his life for a little whitewashing. Unfortunately, the price is too high, and he still died a lot People, just... are very worthless, they have not been cleansed, and they are dead, and they are dead. It is seeking benevolence without benevolence, seeking justice without righteousness, seeking survival without survival, I don't know what enmity the screenwriter has with him.Arranging such an ending for him really blinded this character
