Apart from the piled furniture in the room, Aesop also saw half of the head on the sofa. The familiar golden curly hair on the head made Aesop subconsciously frown.

No matter how long it took, Aesop would never forget this back view, the woman who gave him hope and left him behind.

The people on the sofa heard the movement, she stood up, turned around, and faced them head-on.

She was wearing a black suit and skirt, and a pair of black matte ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes. Her long blond hair didn't let it hang down naturally like in the past, but was tied into a neat ponytail.

In the past, she looked gentle and peaceful with her hair tied up, but with her hair tied up to reveal her full forehead and eyebrows, Aesop could see clearly how aggressive that face looked.

Her lips are bright red, her skin is fair and wrinkle-free, she doesn't look like a woman in her thirties at all.

Aesop lowered his head as if he didn't know how to face her. It was Peggy who betrayed him first, why couldn't he face her?

Thinking of this, Aesop raised his head again, and his expression of joy at reuniting with Jason returned to the coldness he had when facing Bruce.

"Why are you here?" Jason frowned.

He never told anyone from the League of Assassins that he was here. He had a contact with the League of Assassins. Whenever Jason needed Lazarus Spring water, that guy would take the initiative to find him. Maybe it was a fight on the side of the road. A child, possibly a reporter, a small vendor selling ice cream from a cart on the street.

He could be anyone, Jason has never been able to actively contact the League of Assassins.

The League of Assassins issued him a task, he completed it, and then got the supply of Lazarus spring water.This is the relationship between them, Jason is still unable to leave Lazarus, his body has not fully recovered——

In fact, as long as he leaves Lazarus Spring for too long, he will become extremely violent and bloodthirsty, and will attack everyone around him in a frenzy.

Wounds that do not seem to have any problems on the surface will gradually tear and return to their original appearance.

Jason can only live on Lazarus spring water now, which Peggy and Thalia told themselves.Jason didn't want to continue serving the League of Assassins long ago, he didn't want to do those things.

The children and women begging for mercy flashed in his head unconsciously. The mission given to him by the alliance was to wipe them out, but he let them go. Then their heads were thrown in front of him, and he was chained together Arose and endured the loss of Lazarus Spring alone.

Even after that, Jason didn't learn how to cut grass and roots. He could only hope that the tasks he received didn't include wiping out family members, or killing old and weak women and children.

He also saw that kid named Damian Wayne, Bruce's son, an arrogant and willful child. Damian didn't know him, but he knew Damian clearly.

Jason didn't like the League of Assassins at all, but he thought Paige was fine.

Paige had been his researcher in the past, during the time he was in the League of Assassins.

Responsible for recording his physical condition, and whether to increase the "punishment" and so on. At that time, Jason had just been resurrected not long ago, unable to control his actions, and killed many alliance killers, so he would be "punished".

Paige always told Thalia that Jason was doing well, even though Jason had just tried to kill a League of Assassins hitman.

Talia seemed to believe in Peggy. She didn't have any doubts about Peggy's words, and even wondered if the killer who sued Jason did it deliberately because Jason was upset.

So Jason is sure that the relationship between Thalia and Peggy is not simple.

Peggy was the person Jason had contacted the most in the League of Assassins, and Thalia was the second.

Peggy didn't answer Jason's question first, she glanced at Aesop and Jason first, and then parted her lips to reveal a gentle smile.

"Long time no see, Jason and... Aesop." Peggy's tone was very gentle.

But Aesop was cold-hearted by her tone. If he said that the only good thing he did in Wayne Manor was leaving Peggy, you must know that he promised Peggy to do something for her before looking for Jason. .

When I went to find Jason, I completely forgot about Peggy for a while, and was seriously injured to the point of death. She has never appeared in Wayne Manor since then.

Aesop gave a soft 'um', which was in response to Peggy's words.

He passed Jason and entered the room first, put the cake on the table, opened the box and planned to eat it, completely treating this place as his own home, like a master.

"You know each other?" Jason was puzzled, he really didn't understand why Aesop knew people from the League of Assassins, and the clown didn't look like he would deal with the League of Assassins.

"Aesop didn't tell you?" Peggy opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful green eyes were slightly rounded, as if surprised.

Aesop just watched Peggy's actions with cold eyes. He didn't know why, since he exposed Peggy last time, he felt that everything Peggy did was false.

"Little brat?" Jason's tone contained doubts.

Hearing this, Aesop raised his head, his glass blue eyes lacked any luster, and dark molecules floated in his eyes.

It shouldn't be like this, he should have been happy when he met Jason, even his eyes looked like they were full of little stars.

Peggy's presence spoiled his whole good mood.

"She is my mother." Aesop said lightly, holding a plastic knife in his hand, scratching the cake.

As soon as Aesop said this, Jason remembered that the ten-year-old boy entered the criminal's den alone to find his mother, and found out that his mother was dead.

He forced a bitter smile to ask himself to take him in, and even made a homemade bomb to blow up all those who killed his mother to the sky.

etc?Shouldn't his mother be dead already?What about Paige?

And Aesop's attitude towards her is so cold.. so?Peggy faked her death?Or is something else betraying Aesop's actions.

Only betrayal will make Aesop's eyes completely lose trust in her.

Ha, forget it, he doesn't care.As long as Aesop makes a movement or a glance, he will take out his gun and shoot Peggy, even if it will attract the assassins to kill him.

Jason swept Peggy's vigilant eyes calmly, and lightly pressed the pistol bag on his waist.

Peggy naturally noticed Jason's actions, and she hid the surprise in her eyes. The relationship between Jason Todd and Aesop was so good that he was willing to die for him?

You must know that Jason shooting at her or any attack action means declaring war with the Assassin Alliance, and Jason, who has lost the Lazarus spring water, will die again due to the collapse of the wound. .

"You still love strawberry cake as much as you did when you were a child. I remember that the strawberry on top was the one you didn't like the most when you were a child. Every time you tried to eat it for me."

Peggy made a gesture of reminiscence, the corners of her mouth curled up as she thought of something, which seemed to be a very sweet memory.

"Really?" Aesop picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and he pulled out a false smile. "People change, and now I like eating strawberries very much."

People will change. In the past, I loved you, trusted you, and regarded you as the most important thing in my life. Now I can leave you without hesitation.

"Of course people will change. No one will always be as innocent and pure as a child." Peggy said softly, "But what remains the same is that no matter how far they fly, they will never leave their home."

Aesop didn't reply to Peggy's words. He lowered his eyelids, which blocked part of the light, and swept a black line under his eyes.

He understood that Peggy was implying that it was time to do what he had promised her in the past. Meet Jason.

It's hard to imagine someone as nice as Jason coming from Gotham when he should live in a nicer city like Metropolis.

It's hard for Peggy to wait for him lying in bed for an extra year.

Aesop decided to take the initiative, finish Peggy's work earlier and call it a day. If that matter would cost him his life, then...he can still tell the difference between Peggy's life and his own.

"What's the matter?" Aesop asked after eating the cake. He glanced at Jason, who was leaning against the door to watch out for Peggy, because the only sofa in the room was occupied by Peggy, and both of them could only stand.

From Peggy's perspective, Jason couldn't see the pistol hidden behind his back.

This gave Aesop some comfort, at least now he has a loved one, and his loved one also loves him, that's enough.After repaying Peggy's ten years of nurturing, he broke up with her.

From now on, it's only with Jason, where he goes, what he does, then he is the same.

"A long time ago, there was a pair of father and daughter. They controlled the balance of the world, one on the left and one on the right, maintaining the balance. The world became more beautiful in their hands..." Peggy said slowly.

Is there a lot of drama here?Aesop frowned dissatisfied, and finally did not choose to interrupt Peggy's words.

"The people loved them, the birds sang for them, the flowers bloomed for them, but the darkness was about to move. One day, the father died, and the girl went to the center of the balance to continue to maintain the balance. The darkness appeared, tore the crumbling girl off, and occupied the balance. The world Trembling in the dark."

"The girl didn't give up. She wandered in the darkness, looking for a seed that would allow her to return to the balance and let the world see the sun again." Peggy's words were full of fairy tale style.

In the plot, she substituted herself and Aesop into bright roles, because this would allow Aesop to accept it better, because she believed that Aesop yearned for the sun.

"So, you want to say that you are that girl? Aesop is that seed?" Aesop didn't interrupt Peggy, but Jason couldn't help but speak.

"Wait, wait. Can you stop doing those fancy things? I don't understand." Jason raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have known your son, you should know that he lost his mother before he graduated from elementary school."

???

He clearly knew that Jason was mocking Peggy, but for some reason, Aesop always felt that this sentence was scolding him.

Peggy gave Jason a cold look, then glanced at Aesop who also had the same indifferent expression, and she decided to speak directly.

"The balance in the story is the Holy See, I am the saint of the Holy See, my father is the bishop of the Holy See, and you, my Aesop, you are the young master of the Holy See." Peggy no longer pretended to be gentle. , Her tone was quick and seemed a little cold.

"The Throne of Thorns of the Holy See is occupied by a savage and dirty dog. I need you to be the dog beater, clean it up, and support me to the throne."

"The Holy See has become dirty and inferior under their hands, and has become a mafia, and I want to let the Holy See return to its sacred appearance and reach its peak again."
