Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

Chen Yan left, just like when he appeared, with a flash of blue light, he disappeared without a trace, leaving only the giants of the Justice League looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At the door of the kitchen, Alfred looked at the full plate in his hand, seeming a little regretful, but in his eyes, there was more worry.

Obviously, when Chen Yan said those words, Mr. Alfred happened to be present.

"Master Thomas...Mrs. Martha...I..." Alfred looked at the huge family portrait in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming firmer, "Please let me do something for you."

-------------------------------------

Bat cave.

The tired Bruce rubbed his temples. The information Brad brought to him today was difficult for him to digest for a while. He was summarizing the information and inputting it into the Batcomputer. There was more in the "Agamemnon Agreement" Tens of thousands of words of additional content.

Behind him, familiar footsteps sounded, and Bruce knew that they were Alfred's footsteps.

"Master Bruce, I...I have something to tell you."

as predicted.

"I'm a little busy right now, Alfred." Bruce tapped on the keyboard and said softly, "Maybe later, you have been busy all day today, and I don't know if Brad's training plan has frightened you... …”

"rest early."

"I know you are very busy, but please allow me to take up some of your time." Mr. Afu stood beside Bruce with a firm tone, and even bowed very seriously. In the past... he had never been so angry. .

"... Just tell me." Bruce looked at Ah Fu's actions in astonishment, and could only nod his head and stop what he was doing.

"I know that in my capacity, I shouldn't say this to you..." Alfred's old face was a little sad at this time, but his eyes were full of love, as if the Bruce in front of him was still thirty years ago. Little bean sprouts. "But even if I have to leave here and leave you, there are some things I must say to you! This is what I must do as the steward of the Wayne family!"

"Calm down, Alfred, I...I have time now, don't get excited." A trace of panic flashed in Bruce's rare eyes, and he waved his hands at a loss, "What do you want to say, just tell me Just say it.”

"Huh... Master Bruce, after so many years, ever since Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Martha left us in Crime Alley, I... I have never known how to soothe the pain in your heart." Alfred He took a deep breath, and then forced out an ugly smile, "But I have always! I have always not just regarded you as the heir of the Wayne family, I have always treated you as my own child!"

"I know, Alfred." Bruce frowned slightly. He didn't understand why Alfred suddenly behaved abnormally. Normally, Alfred was like a family member to him, and he was the only person Bruce could absolutely trust, but Alfred had never stated the attitudes of both parties so directly. "I have always treated you like a father. What's wrong with you?"

"Please allow me to take the place of Master Thomas! Let me teach you a lesson!" Alfred's old face twitched slightly, as if he mustered up a lot of courage, he said loudly.

"..."

Bruce froze.

"I know that in order to protect the world, you have to be defensive against everyone. But what you did to Mr. Brad this time is really too much!" Mr. Alfred pointed at Bruce The nose roared. "Mr. Thomas will definitely not want the heir to the Wayne family to be a bastard who doesn't even know how to repay his kindness!"

"He saved Master Jason, he helped you, but because of your plan, he almost died!"

"I watched you grow up, watched you adopt Master Dick and the others, and I always hoped that someone could come into your life. I know that in order to protect this city, you put on a cloak... But now you are like the night One of the bats covered in spikes! Anyone! Even someone close to you! Anyone who comes close to you will be stung by you!"

"If you keep doing this, you will only become more and more lonely. I don't want you to become a loner! Bruce! Please reflect on it!"

"..."

Bruce was silent, Alfred's words were like steel needles piercing his heart, but he knew that Alfred was doing it for his own good, and besides, with this action, Bruce also knew that he seemed to be in a bad position. A little bit crosses the line.

Using other people to accomplish your own goals, or even killing them, is that any different from killing someone yourself?

"I'm sorry...Master Bruce. I'm rude. I will leave Wayne Manor voluntarily. But I hope you can think carefully about what I said..." Alfred took a deep breath, and then he was filled with regret. lowered his head. "Mr. Brad may appear to be a villain on the surface, but I can see that he is not as fierce as he appears. He is just like you. You all wear a mask of indifference or greed. In fact, I just want to protect myself and the people I care about.”

"I hope you don't just use your reason to analyze things next time, Master Bruce."

"We are human beings, we have feelings, and some things cannot be solved through calculation..."

After saying this, Alfred turned around and was about to leave, but behind him, Bruce grabbed Alfred's shoulder. Bruce didn't use much force, but it made Alfred stop.

"Alfred." Bruce said in a deep voice, "I...I will reflect on it. But I will not let you leave Wayne Manor! You know I will never allow you to do this!"

"In my heart, you are also my father! So please don't say anything about leaving Wayne Manor!"

"It seems that Mr. Blood is right again..." Alfred said with a wry smile, "I think you understand what I am thinking."

"...Yes." Bruce said softly. Alfred slowly turned around and looked at Bruce. Bruce said solemnly, "My childhood experience made me fear this world and everyone. Everyone has doubts. Only you, Alfred, you have been with me for many years and watched me grow up. You are the only relative I trust."

"It's hard for me to imagine that if one day you were really hurt...or even died in front of me, would I completely lose my mind and become the madman who destroyed the multiverse as Brad said?"

"But I don't want you to choose to leave because of Brad's prediction."

At this time, Bruce's cold face actually shed two streams of tears.

He is afraid.

This time, the Gotham myth named "Batman" finally acted like a normal human being, crying like a child.

After all, deep inside this tall body, there is still a poor eight-year-old child. He saw his parents die in front of him, but he was powerless, so he desperately wanted to become stronger, and wanted to conquer this evil city. The city was completely cleaned.

Fear... is just a tool he uses to protect others, but he is also a human being.

He will also be afraid.

If the death of his biological father made him grow up, then the death of his adoptive father would definitely make him crazy.

"I know you want to disappear from my life to prevent Brad's prediction from coming true... But!" Bruce wiped away the tears on his face. At this time, his eyes were extremely determined, "I won't let this happen. Something happened..."

"I will never let anyone hurt you! Hurt my family, my children, everyone I care about!"

"Absolutely not!!!"
