Hero, you have crossed [Comprehensive Yingmei]

"It shouldn't be him."

Bruce clenched his fist quietly, feeling very embarrassed.If it weren't for the situation, he even wanted to tell his father directly-it wasn't Lucas who chose him, but he chose Lucas.

He was even the one who persuaded Lucas and successfully gained the trust of this Extraordinary.This is what Bruce has worked hard for himself... He will try anything to make Gotham better!

But Bruce couldn't say the same.Little Wayne lowered his beautiful blue eyes, and he felt nameless sadness and anger... But at the same time, Bruce didn't really know what his father was thinking.

To Thomas, he had always been the shivering boy in need of protection.Even though he once said 'you make me so proud', Old Wayne still didn't think that he could really stand on his own.

But he is no longer young, he is already a man - he also has his own ideals and beliefs, Bruce is really willing to be like Thomas, and he wants to rebuild Gotham.

——But Bruce also knows that for parents, the son's 'broken bones' is a bit too cruel.

But when Mr. Wayne fell into the unrecognized ebb and loss again, Lucas thought of another thing.

The young Falcone still looked directly into Thomas Wayne's eyes. He looked at the loving father and thought of Bruce Wayne as Batman.

Lucas never had a father like this.Whether it is before coming to this world or after coming to this world.He has never had a guide like Thomas.

His impression of his father was always cold, silent, and impatient. He had never been valued or denied by his father to such a degree—because he was not interested in him.

...I think Old Wayne should be a gentle, wise and tough elder.It is precisely because of this that he has educated people like Little Wayne.

Before crossing, Lucas never thought deeply about why he pityed and revered Batman in the main world so much.But when he really came face to face with Bruce's father...Lucas clearly realized that he, who had never had it before, was already fearing the pain of 'losing'.

So at this time, Lucas didn't feel that the old Mr. Wayne was making a fuss and moaning about nothing.On the contrary, he even understood his thoughts quite well.

——Owning something cherished and then losing it completely... No one wants to experience that kind of pain.

but.

...but Lucas couldn't ignore Bruce's long, deep breath standing beside him.

At this time, Mr. Falcone Jr. has not yet realized that he, who has the blood of a tyrant, still has a giving personality to a certain extent.He is so repulsed by any development that would disappoint his friend that he can even change his style for it.

"I disagree with you. Mr. Wayne."

Lucas stood up straighter.Usually, when he talks to Hernan and Lucifer, he is quite relaxed, and he has almost never had the current momentum: the momentum of a serious conversation.

"I don't think you really understand what Bruce wants to do with me, and don't agree with your assessment of him."

He even called Bruce's first name instead of his last name.

Perhaps Lucifer's evaluation of him was correct.When Lucas wants to bluff people, he is really quite shrewd:

"If you have also read the previous news, you should already know about the 'parallel crossing' now."

"Bruce thinks this is an opportunity. If he helps Superman research and solve this series of problems in his own name, it will undoubtedly increase the popularity and reputation of the Wayne Group. And if he successfully gets the support of Superman and finds out the parallel universe Why is the link secret, then the government must pay more attention to your voice."

"It was a mutually beneficial partnership by any measure, and I would never let him get hurt. Bruce is smarter and more mature than you think, and that's why he talked me into it."

Little Wayne raised his head slightly after speaking.He looked at Lucas' side face in surprise.Bruce has somewhat understood Lucas's reticence.It was because of this that he was moved by the fact that the other party would speak out in defense of himself.

Lucas couldn't guess Bruce's expression now anyway.Surely he couldn't imagine Batman's face turning silly.But Thomas Wayne caught sight of his son's expression. The father had mixed feelings for a moment, realizing that the gaffe was out of his control.

Thomas doesn't like Lucas.He has even been avoiding this former savior.The reason is quite simple. If Alberto's preferential treatment to the Wayne family is still traceable, the "goodwill" of this alien weapon made by the old Falcone is completely unreasonable and will only add to worry .

"With all due respect, Mr. Lucas, I'm afraid you found out yourself, after all, you just mentioned it. You said you would keep Bruce safe - but in fact, this is almost impossible."

"You are not his bodyguard, and you cannot be his bodyguard. Helping Superman find the truth does sound like an opportunity. Then why haven't Stark and Osborn contacted the alien?"

"...No one wants to be this early bird, no one wants to be this target. Mr. Lucas, you also know the relationship between Superman and the government. They always have different signs of each other, and they always want to have more initiative than each other right."

"And Bruce didn't have to wade through this muddy water at all. He should have a bigger future, a brighter future. I don't want him to pay the price for his youthful impulsiveness, he-"

"Father!"

It wasn't Lucas who spoke this time.Little Mr. Wayne, who had been trying to maintain his demeanor, finally interrupted his father with a low drink.Bruce glared at old Thomas in disbelief.

There was no disappointment in this cold blue gaze, because he already knew what his father was thinking.The most enviable thing about their family is that they have a close relationship with each other and talk about almost everything.But this intimacy also caused a lot of trouble—his parents never expected him to achieve anything, only for him to be safe.

This love becomes a shackle, a bondage.Bruce hopes that he can spread his wings and fly high, but Thomas always hopes that he will do well.

"This is not my hope, this is not my ideal!"

The young, immature, and experienced little Mr. Wayne took two steps forward and stood between Lucas and Thomas.The unique melancholy on his face has completely dissipated, leaving only a kind of determination unique to young people.

"You can't make decisions for me, even you don't have the qualifications... The world is changing! Now it's not that if we don't make trouble, trouble won't come to us! The last attack is proof that that weirdo is not The criminals in our world, more criminals will come to Gotham... I can't tolerate being passively beaten like this!"

"We can fight back! We can control, we can seize it all! And as long as we take the initiative first, then-"

Lucas didn't try to interrupt Bruce.On the contrary, he was more immersed in Bruce's declaration than Thomas.

This is not to say that he can understand the other party's desire for opportunities, it's just that Lucas just can't help listening to the impassionedness of this former idol.

Sometimes Lucas can't help but question himself.Is he really like a parasite that lives on other people's dreams?

He was once moved by Hernan, who was looking into the starry sky, and agreed with the other party's ideal of making the world a better place; and now, he also absorbed Bruce's dream, and fantasized with his mind that was so dull that there were not many positive emotions left. Is it possible for Gotham to actually 'get better'.

And no matter where the ideals of these two people will go in the end, whether they can succeed in the end... Lucas actually doesn't care much.

Lucas only cares about this feeling at this time.This feeling of blood rushing, being human again...it fascinated Lucas, and made the sneering beast in him retract its claws a little.

But unfortunately, when the blond youth glanced at another listener... Old Thomas Wayne's expression was not as yearning as he was.The gray-haired father pursed his lips slightly, looking at his son in surprise and sadness.

Apparently Thomas didn't agree with Bruce's words.

He has changed a lot in the past ten years.The original dream is still there, but these decades of experience have made the old Mr. Wayne understand that the evil in Gotham seems to have been allowed by default and must exist.

Thomas knows a lot that Bruce doesn't.He already understood why the government never paid attention to Gotham's governance, but wanted to rely on Gotham's own power to bring her back to life? ...That is just doing one's best and obeying the destiny.If you want to set off reforms, it will be another bloody storm.

He hadn't wanted Bruce to face this.He had hoped for a brighter, happier life for his son.

The mission to save Gotham is like a thorny vine, it is enough to entangle himself, there is no need to get Bruce into it.

But he still underestimated his son's awareness.Thomas opened his mouth several times.For a moment he was even very remorseful.

He regretted passing on his ideal and will to his son.But he still wanted to make the last struggle.

For Lucas, it might just be a game, but for Thomas, it's his son's life.

"Bruce-"

"Aaaaa——"

But before the three people in the room with complicated moods started the next round of the game, there were sudden bursts of exclamations from the busy crowd downstairs.Then the box shook for a while, and Lucas pulled Bruce into his arms, and then grabbed the old Mr. Wayne who was standing unsteadily.

Several shots with intense fire smashed all the railings on the edge of the private room.Lucas, who always turned his back to the stage, blocked the two Mr. Wayne and turned his head to look down.

Then he froze.

The criminal who suddenly appeared downstairs was stunned for a few seconds and then began to curse: "What's going on? Where's the bank? Where did the big bank go?"

But the point is not the swearing of this reckless idiot, but the shining green pebble on the other's chest.

Lucas knew this man.

A super criminal who uses kryptonite as his hole card, one of Superman's opponents in the ordinary world-Metal Man.

...why kryptonite again? ?
