Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Just how rich were the Capellolins?

It can be seen from the family's private territory where Zhenglian is currently arriving.

Seen from above, the entire Capellorin family's main territory looks like a shield, covering an area of ​​more than 500 hectares. Because it is a private territory, ordinary people will never come to the territory.

The endless plains are vast, along the rivers and forests toward the top of the shield, there are hills and mountains, and the irregular terrain forms a crown shape.

From a bird's-eye view, the entire territory is exactly the same as the Capellolin family's crest pattern: shield and crown.

There is a natural scenery on the plain. Apart from a few scattered farms and pastures, there are no other buildings. Herds of cattle and sheep run on the fertile grassland, and there is a small vineyard near the forest.

At the confluence of rivers at the foot of the mountain, a majestic and ancient small castle stands quietly. It is hidden in the hazy mist, and it looks so majestic and majestic. From the appearance, it looks a bit like the famous Hohenzou in Germany. London Castle.

Compared with this small castle, even Wayne Manor, which already has a sense of history, is instantly reduced to scum. After all, the history of Wayne Manor is only more than 100 years old, and the fortress of Capellorin is not known for hundreds of years. up.

Jason stood quietly in the corner, looking at the territory and the castle from a distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and suddenly lowered his eyes.

— “I have no other family.”

At the time, she said so.

"I don't have a car, I don't have a house, I always work overtime, and I'm poor."

"I also need a reliable relative."

Vera said so.

Because she said so, he thought they were both the same.

He thought she had no home like him, he thought she was always alone, he thought she needed protection.

Vera Senna is a big liar.

He knew it from the beginning, but he still believed the big liar.

But Vera lied to him anyway.

She has her own home at all, she is not alone at all.

Jason's forehead was pressed against the thick glass, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness hit him, causing a huge hole to collapse in his entire chest, and sharp laughter echoed continuously in the hole.

He never doubted Vera's devotion and love for him, he knew that she was protecting him...but it was precisely because of this understanding that he resented and blamed himself even more.

Jason didn't know about the scare box game—the adults kept it a secret, and not even Dick knew that his father had nearly lost control.

Even so, after the child woke up, it took a long time to accept the news that Vera had been kidnapped and her life was unknown.

After calming down, Jason was the first to ask to participate in the investigation, but was rejected of course. Batman didn't care to comfort the child, so he threw him to Dick.

Dick also had nothing to do with his furious and anxious brother. After obtaining Bruce's consent, he had to tell Jason the true identity of Batman.

It took Jason quite a while to digest the news that "Bruce Wayne is Batman" and "Clark Kent is Superman".

"You know better than me, don't you?"

Dick endured his anxiety and impatience, and tried his best to comfort Jason, "Bruce and the others will not give up on rescuing Vera. They can bring Vera back. Bruce values ​​and cares about Vera no less than you!"

Jason shook his head.

"It's different."

He replied hoarsely. From the side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw the familiar black figure and blue-red figure leaving the battleship, gliding like a giant eagle towards the territory of the Capellorin family, and he felt bitter in his heart.

…The two guys he hated and resisted the most, the two people he didn't want Vera to get in touch with the most, were the ones who could really save her at such a juncture.

This is really...

"Hey."

Watching Batman and Superman enter the territory of the Capellorin family at the same time from a distance, and walked into the castle under the guidance, the child suddenly asked Dick:

"When did that guy recognize you as his assistant Robin?"

"……what?"

"I said, to become a hero like that guy... no, someone stronger than that guy, how long does it take at least?"

Under the hazy and dazzling sunlight, the boy who had been clenching his fists turned his head and asked every word.

His whole body fell into a kind of unwillingness and anger, and there was an astonishing light in his eyes.

……

After a brief discussion, Superman and Batman, who are the most able to communicate with people, entered the territory of the Capellorin family at the same time.

After thousands of years, the Capellorin family still maintains an atmosphere of noble luxury and luxury. There are many servants and guards inside the castle. Even in the face of famous superheroes, they still have an old-fashioned etiquette air.

After finally obtaining permission to enter, the two walked in through the gate of the castle, walked through the empty square, and walked into the hall inside the castle.

The huge hall is as spacious and quiet as a church, with several undulating corridors, exquisite statues and medieval oil paintings on the side, and a complex and beautiful dome mural on the curved ceiling of the hall.

In the communicator, Hal, who also saw this scene, clicked his tongue secretly: "...I seem to have seen a world-famous painting just now."

"Not one pair, but all of them."

Steel Gu replied, "The valuations of these oil paintings and sculptures are in the tens of millions. The murals should be works that have continued hundreds of years ago. There is no such thing as valuation."

Such priceless decorations and works are just placed in the hall to look good.

In other words, these things have been placed here since the castle was built and have never been replaced.

Really poor and down and out Hal felt a little stuffy, he was silent for a moment, and thought of a worse possibility: "Then if we fight later..."

Steel Bones: "It's not enough for the liquidity of the Wayne Charitable Foundation."

Master Bruce Wayne, a billionaire, said: He is a billionaire, not a billionaire.

The battle damage after the fight is likely to mortgage Superman or the Wayne Group.

Diana suddenly realized: "So what Vera said before buying the Wayne Group is true."

Zhenglianzhong: "..."

Batman who heard this conversation: "..."

Led by a maid with a stern expression, the two of them passed through many corridors again, and finally came to a small living room.

Unfortunately, during the whole process, Vera's father, the legendary Duke Capellorin, never showed up.

"Vera is not here."

After scanning the whole circle with the perspective vision, and the Flash's silent search, Clark gave a conclusion.

But Diana and Shazam felt the strong magical atmosphere in the castle.

"There is no suspicious person or intelligence flow in the whole manor."

Steel Gu, who controls all the monitoring, said, "Vera was either taken elsewhere, or she was covered up by that magic."

In this way, the problem becomes bigger.

It would be fine if Vera was taken elsewhere. If she was indeed imprisoned elsewhere by some special space magic, the possibility of them finding her would be basically zero.

No matter what, they had to find out the information first. The two endured all kinds of guesswork and the urgent time in the communicator, and waited for more than half an hour. A door was finally opened.

It was not Duke Capellorin who walked into the room first and appeared in front of everyone in the Justice League, but Mary, who had disappeared for three days.

This beautiful female assistant who had been by Vera's side and assisted her for several years appeared in front of everyone on the third day after Vera disappeared.

Wearing a black suit with her blond hair coiled up, she walked in expressionlessly, then stood to the side of the room, completely indifferent to the cold gaze of the two superheroes.

Everyone on the airship was shocked.

"Wait! Why is Vera's female assistant here?"

"She disappeared for three days, but appeared in Capellorin Castle... So Vera was really brought here?"

"...Damn it! She already knew Vera's true identity!"

There was chaos in the communicator, but the two men in the living room were extremely calm about this matter.

Clark took a deep look at his former direct supervisor, the female assistant who had patiently taught Clark Kent at Vera's request, and who had criticized Superman sharply because of Vera's physical problems. He smiled lightly, Turn your head away.

Bruce, who had guessed for a long time, didn't respond. He just glanced at Mary, and then set his eyes on the middle-aged man who walked into the room slowly.

Sitting on countless wealth, holding the lifeline of most of the European economy, and the core representative of the Peter Berg Club, the famous Duke of France-this duke who is nearly fifty years old is Vera's father.

As described by the intelligence, the Duke of Capellorin is tall and imposing, and he does not look like a 50-year-old middle-aged man at all.

His hair was light wheat, thick and neatly brushed back, revealing a broad forehead and lake-green eyes.

Almost all of Vera's good looks come from the Duke of Capellolin. Just standing there, the Duke's majesty and dignity far surpassed that of Francis and Walker.

Like Professor Charles, the years did not make Duke Capellorin look old, but added infinite charm to him.

Compared with Duke Capellorin, the young Superman and Batman fell behind.

The entire living room froze suddenly.

The short and sharp greetings were only for a moment, and Duke Capellolin slowly sat on the main seat, his hands clasped, and the slender fingertips faintly revealed a hint of metallic color.

"Superman, Batman of the Justice League."

The Duke stroked the scepter, his slightly narrowed green eyes were indistinguishable, and he spoke hoarsely and slowly in English:

"I thought that at this moment, you should be on the battlefield in New York instead of going to the other side of the Atlantic and causing trouble for no reason."

This way of speaking is almost exactly the same as those old and cunning politicians in the White House in the United States, but it is a little tougher and more arrogant than them.

From this sentence alone, it can be seen that Vera's father does not support Zhenglian like his daughter. On the contrary, he has a bad attitude towards heroes like Superman and Batman, and even looks down upon them.

Hearing these words, everyone on the airship fell silent.

Mary stood behind Duke Capellorin as if nothing had happened.

Bruce glanced across the duke's clasped hands, squinted his eyes, and quietly let Clark get to the point first.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I hope you can understand."

Clark's voice was calm and polite, he restrained his temper to Duke Capellolin as much as possible, and briefly explained Vera's disappearance, with a serious tone, "We also hope to find Miss Vanessa as soon as possible. "

He turned his head slightly, looked at Duke Capellolin, and continued with an unpredictable expression:

"No matter what, for Miss Vanessa's disappearance, the Justice League has assumed most of the responsibility. We will do our best to find her whereabouts at any cost until we bring her back safe and sound."

Everyone guessed that the person who kidnapped Vera was the Duke himself.

Everyone knows the real purpose of Zhenglian coming here.

However, it is not only the politicians in the White House and the Duke of Capellorin who can speak bureaucrats, and there is something in their words.

Clark is clearly warning the Duke in front of him at this moment: the Justice League will never give up looking for Vera, and will never let the person who takes Vera away—even if it is her father.

Even if they tore their faces and smashed this precious castle into ruins, they would still find Vera.

"On her behalf, I thank you in advance for your help."

Facing the soaring aura around Superman, Duke Capellorin was unmoved at all, and he said calmly:

"I hope you can find Vanessa as soon as possible. My daughter has been away from me for ten years. It's time to go home."

In the man's pair of green eyes, which were the same as Vera's, there was only extreme indifference and indifference, even Superman was ignored.

These words are clearly in response to Clark's warning:

I am her father, this is Vanessa's home, she will return here no matter what, this castle is her final destination.

Between the two and three slaps and a few simple words, the two sides fought countless secret battles back and forth.

Facing Superman's warning, the Duke lightly pointed out the most critical issue:

Rather than saying that the Duke robbed Zhenglian's Vera, it was better to say that Zhenglian robbed the Duke's Vanessa.

This sentence is simply poking Zhenglian Chaoying's knee: Compared with Vera's father, they do not seem to have the right, and they do not have the position to compete with a father for his daughter.

Clark paused, and then Bruce spoke slowly:

"We will naturally act in accordance with Vanessa's wishes."

——So what if you are her father?

If Vera really wanted to go home, she would have brought Jason back to France two months ago, but she just bypassed France, not to mention that Duke Capellorin himself said frankly that Vera would not be happy for ten years go home.

When she came back to this castle and to you, it was only because you used strong means to kidnap your daughter back abruptly.

Having said that, whether it is the two men in the living room or the remaining five people on the airship, they can all feel Duke Capellorin's contempt for Zhenglian and his desire to control his daughter.

I don't know if it's because of his identity prejudice or his deep belief that "Zhenglian is a product of marketing", he doesn't have much affection for superheroes.

But when talking about Vera, the determination in the father's tone and the paranoia revealed made the two men unanimously unhappy.

Bruce's words were so blunt, but the Duke smiled coldly.

"of course."

He said meaningfully:

"I hope this child, Vanessa, will be more sensible after experiencing such an innocent disaster."

——she will be sensible.

After what she's been through... she'll come back here voluntarily, she'll always come back to me, she's not going anywhere.

Staring fixedly at Duke Capellolin, after he said these words with a smile, the hearts of the two men beat violently at the same time.

……wrong.

What's wrong, this man, Vera's father——

Clark couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up abruptly, and appeared in front of the Duke in an instant, restraining the panic and anxiety surging in his heart and roaring:

"Where is she!?"

A ferocious and irritable aura rushed towards the face, almost penetrating the entire small living room. The coffee table and glass made creaking noises, as if they could not bear the anger of Superman and were on the verge of being broken.

Facing such a scene, Duke Capellorin remained motionless, his hair swaying slightly, his eyes shifted from the ferocious Superman in front of him to Batman who was one step behind but also planning to turn his back, and shook his head contemptuously.

"Superhero..."

Holding the scepter, the blond man stood up slowly. In front of Superman and Batman, the aura exuded by the Duke as an ordinary person was not at all inferior.

"You know? I was looking forward to you..."

Looking at the two young men, the Duke sighed, "It's a pity."

"Sorry, superhero."

"Even if you kill me right now, she is still yours."

His daughter——Vanessa De Capellorin, his future partner should put her above everything else, he should focus on maintaining Vanessa's status, he should be loyal to the Capellorin family, he should Put the maintenance of blood and wealth first.

Because of this, despicable, vicious, insidious, cunning... these qualities are more favored.

From this point of view, the Duke, who once had high hopes for Batman, who is known for his vicious means, has to admit that superheroes are not qualified. As for Superman...forget it.

Disappointed, he withdrew his exploration and scrutiny on Superman and Batman, turned and left.

"Mary, send the guests away."

"—!??"

For the first time in his life, two world-famous superheroes were swept out in such a mess.

"and many more--"

Clark wanted to take another step forward to catch up with the Duke, but was stopped by the cold-faced Mary.

"Feel sorry."

The blond female assistant walked over in a few steps, blocking the way of Clark and Bruce.

"Superman, Batman, you have to go."

Mary's voice was calm and emotionless, and she suggested with concern:

"Vera's whereabouts are unknown, you'd better go to the parking lot where she disappeared to investigate the remaining evidence."

This sentence alone was enough to draw all the hatred from Clark and the others. Superman, who was originally dissatisfied with Mary's betrayal, frowned.

On the contrary, Bruce frowned quickly, always feeling that there was something in Mary's words.

"Please, both of you."

Mary repeated it again. She took a strong step forward, as if to push Clark back, and repeated it coldly:

"Since Vera is missing, please take responsibility and continue to investigate instead of wasting time here."

Marie spoke so nonchalantly, as if Vera Senna was a completely insignificant person.

She doesn't care about Vera at all, she has always been loyal to Duke Capellorin.

Even, she may have acted as a leaker in this kidnapping case, cooperating with the Duke to take Vera away.

With an unknown fire in his heart, Clark had no intention of backing down. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a very soft voice:

"...And she has always regarded you as her closest friend."

The room suddenly fell silent.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Mary, who had always maintained a calm and self-possessed state, suddenly trembled. She took a step back, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

When he opened it again, those beautiful and charming eyes were already filled with raging anger.

"do you know?"

Standing in front of Batman and Superman, Mary twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing an unusually soft smile, which matched the rage in her eyes, which looked extremely weird and contradictory.

She smiled and said word for word:

"I have tolerated you two for a long time."

This moment is three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather is clear, the sun is shining and gentle.

In the originally extremely quiet, serene and peaceful Capello Forest Territory, suddenly there was an earth-shattering violent noise.

In the next moment, a huge explosion exploded from the direction of the small living room of the castle. Amidst the endless smoke and a cloud of mushrooms, a tall red and blue figure directly collided and bounced out in midair like a cannonball. Because of the huge strength, this person also made a few turns in the air.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a blond woman rushed out after her, dragging another black figure in her hand. The moment she soared into the air, the blond woman grabbed a figure that was much taller than herself. The man lifted it above his head and swung it twice, throwing the man out like a spinning top.

...the one who was thrown out and was still spinning like a top was Batman.

The moment he was about to hit the river, a green barrier appeared across the sky, pulling him back in a thrilling manner. Bruce opened his eyes and saw Hal's shocked face.

Not to mention him, the entire Justice League stared incredulously at the blond woman suspended in mid-air.

From the beginning of the explosion, their mental journey is as follows:

Fuck!Really fight!Superman and Batman do you really want to stake yourselves here? !

Fuck!The Duke won't hang up right away with such a big movement, right?

Fuck!Superman made a move, he flew out—was he blown out? ? ?

Ah this - both Superman and Batman were blown away by Mary?By Vera's female assistant Mary?Mary? ? ?

Facing Clark who had regained his stability in mid-air, the blond woman had no expression on her face and clenched her fists. While clenching her fists, her eyeballs rolled slightly and she deliberately glanced at Bruce.

"The bastard who wants to take my job."

She twisted her neck and looked at Clark again, her voice was as terrifying as frost, "—stay away from her."

"!"

In the blink of an eye, Bruce, who was about to fall apart, finally understood the key point that Mary really wanted to remind them.

She is not on the Duke's side, she is passing on information as much as possible.

"listen."

Bruce grabbed the communicator and said to everyone on the other end, "I have to pretend to fight in front of the Duke, I have to find time to talk to her—"

Before the words fell, the blond woman who was floating in the air and was still fighting with Superman flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of Bruce:

"The instigator of everything, please stay away from her too!"

Another punch.

This time, it was Hal who suffered with Bruce. Under the green barrier shield, the two fell into the water happily.

Bruce: "..."

Clark: "..."

Is this woman crazy? ?

Passing information is passing information, what the hell is a public revenge? ?
