After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

"...Ancient One." Hilda read the name slowly, and she heard the sound of the wind, silently telling her the identity of this person, "Supreme Mage... My earth is really rich in species, right? "

Gu Yi smiled slightly: "For you, isn't this better?"

Hilda tilted her head: "So, what are you here for this time? Give me a new weapon?" The Blade of Chaos slowly emerged in her hand, and the power of the artifact caught Superman's attention.

"I'm sorry, but I don't intend to be your enemy." Gu Yi shook his head and cut straight to the point, "I'm here for Superman."

Hilda: "You want to save Superman."

"Earth needs Superman," Ancient One replied, "You also need Superman to help you continue to protect Earth."

Hilda: "..."

Gu Yi said it well.In fact, even if she doesn't show up, Hilda can't be really bad for Superman. She's not bored to the point where she has to spend endlessly with a Kryptonian-in a sense, this Kryptonian Starmen are almost considered excellent employees who guard the earth.

Such an easy-to-use doorman, she wasn't stupid enough to fire him from the start.

However, Hilda is also a face-saving person.

"You came too late," she said grimly. "This Kryptonian has already pissed me off, not to mention he owes me money."

"Yes," Gu nodded, "I know about it, but the culprit who caused Superman to crash into the spaceship should be Lex Luthor, who attacked Superman with a newly developed weapon and made him unconscious , that accident happened."

Hilda stared at Gu Yi suspiciously: "Are you whitewashing Superman?"

"I'm just objectively stating the truth of what happened that day." She replied, meeting Hilda's gaze without avoiding it.

Hilda glanced back at Superman.

Superman frowned and looked at Gu Yi thoughtfully: "If it's true, I'm willing to provide all compensations. After all, no matter who the culprit is, I was the one who crashed the spaceship."

Hilda curled her lips: "You think too much, crash? Hehe, I'm not very old, and I think a lot."

Superman: "..."

"Since you are not the culprit, I won't ask you for full compensation." She flicked her fingertips, "However, don't think that you can completely escape responsibility—don't worry, I'm not a devil—you just need to Pay the cost of repairing the spaceship, and this matter will be written off, and I will not do anything to you."

"...As for Luther." Hilda raised the corners of her mouth, "I will ask him to get it back."

"I'll pay it back," Superman promised, "but the Cosmic Cube..."

Ancient One: "The Cosmic Cube is ownerless."

Superman frowned: "But she took it from the Avengers."

Hilda sneered: "So, it's fine to snatch unowned things from supervillains, but not from superheroes? Why, you superheroes have privileges? Then superheroes snatch superheroes?" What do you count?"

Superman: "No, I didn't mean that. It's not at all who's taking something from, it's what it's going to be used for—"

"Then you don't have to worry about it." Hilda crossed her arms, "I won't use the Cosmic Cube to do bad things."

Superman: "No, I don't believe you."

"That's not what you said last time when I drove away the aliens and saved the earth." She was very dissatisfied. "I think everything is fine on our earth, but there are too many miscellaneous aliens."

The Kryptonian feels targeted: Then again, isn't he an alien too?

Gu Yi interrupted the conversation between the two people: "If you are really worried, you can impose a ban on Superman. In this case, he will not be able to tell others the news."

"Joke, am I worried that the Kryptonians will tell other superheroes about this?" Hilda laughed out loud, then turned her head and said to the Kryptonians, "Don't tell anyone about my identity and the Cosmic Cube thing."

Gu Yi: "..."

Superman: "..."

Hilda, who was so ashamed of what she had done: "Look, I'm using my power legally! Superman, don't even think about snitching on any superhero, especially..."

She paused: "—Batman."

Jason had had enough of the low pressure in Wayne Manor for a while.This depression has loomed over Wayne Manor since the alien invasion of New York—no, maybe earlier, since Hilda Walker and the Bruce Cold War.

At first, he just thinks Bruce's in a bad mood, but, given Batman's day-to-day work, he dismisses it as normal.It wasn't until Jason passed by the study and heard the phrase "break up", that he realized that the old father's emotional journey was obviously entering a bumpy period.

Although Jason didn't have much affection for Hilda Walker, he still firmly believed that the breakup must be Bruce's fault.

Thinking about Hilda's stickiness to Bruce, and thinking about Batman's true nature hidden under the shell of Bruce Wayne, you know how unreasonable it is to attribute the mistake to Hilda.

To be honest, Jason doesn't care that much about Bruce's relationship history.However, even a Gotham boy who is still confused about love can see Bruce's passive position in this relationship, as well as the truth that even Bruce himself has not noticed or is unwilling to admit at all:

Bruce is slowly sinking.

...So, since they are in love with each other, why are there so many twists and turns?

Jason didn't understand.

The relationship between adults is still too complicated for him, and he really doesn't want to get involved with his adoptive father's feelings at all.

Fortunately, not long after the breakup, Hilda approached the door and ended the suffocating depression.

What?Hilda came to the door secretly?

Hehe, if the people at the manor really knew nothing about her visit, the window leading to Bruce Wayne's bedroom would not have been so coincidentally left open that night.

Don't understand Jason too well. He has been in the Eastern District since he was a child, and he has seen this kind of "reconciliation" quite often.

Unfortunately, just as he thought the depression was over, they received the news that Hilda had left Gotham for New York.

Jason: "..."

When they heard the news, they were patrolling at night. Wearing Robin's uniform, he silently looked at the dark knight who was like a statue in front of him, feeling deep pressure.

After that, the successive news from Hilda from New York gradually deepened the depression inside Wayne Manor.

Bruce didn't seem to be aware of this at all. He turned day and night upside down as usual, had a breakfast and lunch as usual, went to the Wayne Group as usual to strengthen people's impression of Bruce Wayne, and changed into Batman's as usual. Uniforms go out for night patrol.

Batmobile growled angrily, but Batman was silent.

When Ah Fu finally couldn't help mentioning Hilda in a half-joking way, Bruce's response was just a slightly slowed down meal, and a puzzled look that made it impossible to see any problems.

"...What?" He fooled everyone in the manor, "Hilda and I? We are fine, but we are in a long-distance relationship now."

He thought everything was fine with him... God, he thought everything was fine!

Jason was sitting at the same table at the time, and really wanted to roll his eyes at Bruce: If you really think everything is fine, can you stop creating depression during this time?

Jason couldn't understand if this man was playing dumb. He thought the answer was yes, but the more he observed, the more he doubted—Bruce seemed to really feel that everything was fine, and he didn't realize that he was doing it for this. Distressed by a relationship, he stubbornly directed the question to another field that he was very familiar with—the research on the threat of Hilda's existence and the countermeasures.

How many times, how many times Jason passed by Bruce, he hesitated to speak, wanted to tell him something frankly, but this was not his style after all, so in the end, he just walked away silently.

But he really wanted to say to Bruce: ... You are an adult now, you can handle your own emotional problems by yourself.Please don't make me and Ah Fu worry about this matter anymore, okay?Ah Fu's already thinning hair started to fall out again!

Even if he and Ah Fu are destined to give a little push for this relationship, Hilda must be able to visit Wayne Manor at night again!

Now that he is in New York, could it be that he and the old butler have to find a way to open a space door to another dimension for Hilda?

But today, after receiving a call from New York, the low pressure hovering over Wayne Manor seems to have eased a lot.

"...So," Jason cleared his throat, ended the training, and asked Bruce who was processing the data, "You and Miss Walker are reconciled?"

"..." Bruce paused, and glanced at him sharply, "Have you finished your training?"

Jason shut up for a moment.

"I have no training," the old butler stood aside with a plate, and said abruptly, "So, sir, have you and Miss Hilda reconciled as before?"

Bruce glanced at Alfred helplessly: "Ah Fu, my relationship with Hilda is really not as simple as you see."

"Every relationship of yours is not as simple as it seems," Ah Fu replied, "but I just want to care about this relationship that is not simple."

Bruce: "..."

He continued to look at the huge screen, and just when Jason thought he was going to just pretend not to get away with it, Bruce said in a low voice: "...No, but at least in the last conversation, we talked to each other understanding has gone a step further.”

Alfred nodded: "And you think this is a good start."

Bruce didn't speak.

Ah Fu couldn't help but feel very relieved.

Unlike the old butler, Jason was skeptical of Bruce's words. "One step further in understanding"?This sentence can be advanced or retreated, Ah Fu is purely concerned about it, and he will be fooled when he considers that Bruce is in a better mood. Jason is not that stupid.

"When will Miss Walker return to Gotham?" He asked directly.

The old father gave him a sharp eye.

Jason wasn't afraid of him—please!Ah Fu was standing next to him, if he didn't take advantage of this moment to run on Batman, how long would he want to wait?

"Or," he said boldly, "when are you going to meet her in New York?"

"I think this suggestion is very good." Alfred agreed very much. "The relationship needs to be maintained. As we all know, long-distance relationships often accelerate the breakdown of relationships."

"I need a night watch."

"You don't need night watch during the day." The housekeeper said, "Maybe, you can spare a day to play the incompetent playboy president and go to New York to meet your girlfriend."

"...Well, if I'm free." Bruce replied, pretending not to notice the old butler's disapproving expression.

He felt that Alfred showed a rare persistence in this matter-in most cases, Alfred fully respected his decision, and at most persuaded him a few words, so that he tried hard to push him to make a certain decision. Not often, unless the steward deems it necessary.

However, it's not that he never had a girlfriend before, Alfred never interfered, why this time...?

Bruce stopped typing on the keyboard.

His eyes were fixed on the screen, but his thoughts had already left.

The answer to the question is actually there:

—Because, Alfred thought, he had paid real affection for Hilda.
