[Comprehensive British and American] The richest man in the super British world

"Now is the first river, there is still a long way to go, don't show your face."

In the pitch-black environment, there were particles floating in the air, and a man in a black robe stood at the bow of the ship.In the endless black river, this ship is a thin line, almost hidden in the raging waves.No wind, no light, this is a dead river.But it's still flowing because this is the underworld.Where all death ends.

"The river is the Styx, the river of wrath and oath."

Now, Wade already knows his name, not Charon, but another mythological pronunciation - he is Charon, and Charon is gazing into his face.

"Styx, the water nymph, is her river of glory. As long as you swear an oath on this river, you must fulfill your oath, or you will fall into a disaster that will never be restored." He said, "She is the goddess of victory, but It's really annoying to stretch your hands too long."

Wade shook his head: "You don't expect me to swear on this river, do you?"

"I believe you won't." Caron smiled affectionately, "You just need to do it."

He approached Wade, reached out, and helped him put the hood back on when it was about to slip off.

"Don't show your face," he warned.

"You've said it many times," Wade said, tightening his grip on the fabric of the hood. "I know."

Wade outside the screen is like a bystander, he let these images flash past like watching a movie, unable to make any moves.He was puzzled by the attitude of the other party towards him.

"It is said that gods will lose their divinity when they cross this river." After a pause, Caron continued, "Perhaps, this is true."

"Don't use these to scare people," he stood up, walked to the side of the ferryman Caron, and looked down at the water, in the darkness, he couldn't see anything clearly, "nothing happened." He concluded, "You said it was dangerous."

But suddenly, there was a splashing sound in the water, and a hand came out and grabbed the hem of his robe, and then, the owner of the hand climbed up wet, and rolled a few times on the board before stopping .The already narrow boat seemed even more crowded, and the sudden appearance of this figure with the breath of the living made the boat extremely unstable.

"Hey, I have to say, it's great to have a boat!" The person who appeared exaggeratedly sighed, "Caron, I have to say, you came a little late today, and I almost missed this class."

Wade subconsciously wanted to kick the man who appeared suddenly back into the water, but the man waved his hand immediately, showing a panicked look, stepped back a few steps, hid behind Caron, poked his head out to look at him secretly.

"Who are you?" he asked. "The living."

"...I know him, the boyfriend of the Goddess of Death," Karon looked helplessly at the man who suddenly appeared, "an undead mercenary. We are all familiar with him."

"What is he doing in the underworld?" Wade was confused.

"I don't know," Caron shrugged. "Maybe he came to see the Goddess of Death. But he's not dead, so he's destined not to see her, so he can only smuggle in."

"You pamper him like this?" Wade asked.

Caron glanced at him: "You should ask the goddess of death what she thinks."

"This is the underworld." He said, "She can't decide."

Caron shook his head: "She can't go anywhere until she tells the news about Pandora's Box."

"You are very competent." Wade commented.

The ferryman raised his eyebrows: "Thank you? I am very flattered to have your appreciation."

The mercenary carefully sat next to Wade, looking at him shyly.

"Why don't you take off your hood and pretend to be mysterious? This is very DC, as dark as this picture, I don't know what you are doing after you go out?——" The mercenary finally couldn't help talking, and he started chattering Harassing Wade, his voice almost drowned out the muffled sound of the tide, "It's very strange. I thought that Caron's passenger was only me. After all, there is a rule in your underworld that you can't go out with anything, right? Tell me, if not The underworld is big enough to hold people long ago! Like expired cans, the iron skin is bulging, but in the underworld now, the smell is not much different from expired food. So where are you from? I can’t see you Face, brother really don’t know who you are?”

Wade thought for a moment and answered.

"I intend to--"

Caron coughed violently, interrupting his unspoken words.

"You have too many questions, don't ask for things you shouldn't know." He stared at the mercenary sternly, walked towards Wade, checked his black robe again, and made sure his face was tightly covered, "Shut up Put your mouth on it, it has nothing to do with you!"

The mercenary shrugged: "You guys are so boring. Our world is different, so the style of painting is too different. I think I can chat with this guy, obviously he is much cuter than you. Caron, you stay here I’ve been on the boat for countless years, always stern, and extremely boring——wait a minute, this one’s not the brother’s idea, is it?”

Calon gave him a warning look: "If you say one more word, I will pull out your tongue, sew your mouth shut, and throw you into the Acheron River. Until the day of the end."

Wade has remained silent since Caron coughed.

The silent, docile flow of these waters is like a black mist floating on the bottom of a boat.They are dead, but someone can see through it what happened...

But the punter was wrong about "sewing his mouth shut."Mercenaries are not the type to stop dying when threatened.

"Okay." He made a zipper movement around his mouth, and then raised his hands beggingly, "I won't say anything, I'll keep silent—"

Suddenly, taking advantage of everyone's defenselessness, the mercenary reached out and pulled down Wade's hood, tore off his black robe, and threw it into the Black River.The black cloth swirled a few times on the water, and was immediately swallowed by invisible things. Wade's face was finally exposed in the air. He lowered his head abruptly, but the wind of the Styx suddenly blew up, bringing Trembling, whispering in the ears of everyone present, discussing hastily, dangerously and cunningly, the river seemed to be alive, boiling, clamoring——

Forgive, forgive me...

"Oh, little beauty!" The mercenary whistled, "Why are you hiding it? It's so beautiful!"

"You!" Caron came back to his senses, furious, "Do you know what you are doing?!"

"Revenge for what you just said," he spread his hands, "Of course I know what I'm doing! And what are you doing?"

Cuarón charged at the mercenary, but Wade stopped him with his hand and shook his head at him.The boat shook violently, almost throwing the people on board off.

"It's already been discovered, it's useless," he said, "think of another way."

Caron sighed, he suppressed his anger: "...Loophole, we can make a deal."

The next scene is the same as what Wade saw when he lost a lot of blood.

But this time, it was more specific, so that he finally understood the true meaning of that sentence: if you don't spend the money, you have to go back to the underworld.

"The Acheron River, the river of sorrow, is formed by the tears of criminals serving sentences in hell, and it is also the entrance to the underworld," Calon said. It's an ancient rule, and nothing can get rid of it."

"So?" Wade thought thoughtfully, "What do you mean?"

"We can only buy some time... your ferry fee is very special," he said, "so... spend your ferry fee as soon as possible, so according to the rules, I can't take you across the river to the underworld, In order to facilitate your actions in the world."

"if……"

"Then I can only bring you back, everything is over." Caron, the ferryman said cautiously, "Be careful, you are going to the gate of hell, it is very sensitive."

They had arrived at the Acheron River without making a sound. Countless souls were mourning, and the whole space was filled with emotions of death, hatred, and pain, which made people frown.This is the bright color they saw, but it only showed the blazing red of the flames, and it was the physical embodiment of the scream.The undead knelt by the river, letting their tears slide down their translucent faces and dripping into the river water. They could not see any emotions that living people had on their faces.The boat gradually approached the shore and slid across a small river, but Kalong, the ferry god, did not stop.The undead stretched out their hands, howling and begging to take a boat to the other end of the underworld, so as to get rid of the pain of being enslaved, but Caron didn't give them a look.

"Cerberus is disgusting," Watanabe said.

"But he's also very competent," Wade said.It made Caron look at him helplessly.

They have gradually been able to see the Aconitum clusters growing on the bank. This purple flower looks very gorgeous. In the darkness that cannot be driven away by the twilight, the petals show a kind of white light, which is like a dream. , almost obsessed people in the dark, but they quietly hide the poison - this is the frontier of the gate of hell, where Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, is located.The black poplars and barren coconut trees make it seem ever closer to death itself.

——Unexpectedly, an accident happened next, so he woke up alone by the Styx River...

……

Dick stared worriedly at Wade on the bed. He was in a coma. They had treated his wounds, but he hadn't shown any signs of waking up.

He felt bad, blamed himself, and more importantly, they had no idea what had happened to him.Joe, Chris, and Damian have woken up, and they haven't been able to say why, how it all ended... so that makes what happened to Wade even more confusing.Dick couldn't help stretching out his hand, took Wade's left hand on the edge of the bed, squeezed it tightly in both hands, then lowered his head and kissed Wade's fingers.

"Wake up quickly, I'm worried." He murmured, looking at Wade.

With his eyes closed, the other party seemed more quiet and well-behaved.His red hair fell softly on both sides of his cheeks, a few strands covered his eyes, and was gently parted by Dick's outstretched hand.

"Dick," suddenly, someone called his name, Dick looked up and found Jason was leaning on the door with his arms folded and looking at him, "Xiaohong said you got our news."

"You mean Sicily?" he replied.

"Well, yes." Jason couldn't help but glanced at Wade, "...how is he?"

"It'll be all right, he just hasn't woken up yet," Dick said. "Let's go out and talk about it."

Before he walked out, he leaned over and hugged Wade, kissed his forehead, then turned and left.Jason was a step behind him, and when Dick went downstairs first, he suddenly said to the room, "Wade, I don't know what happened, but don't worry about it, you're doing very well."

The eyelashes of the person lying on the bed trembled.

"You decide." Jason shrugged, turned and went downstairs, "You can pretend to sleep as long as you want."

Wade sighed and opened his eyes.

"Oh, by the way, the older Kent boy is waiting for you downstairs," Jason turned back, and a smirk suddenly appeared on his face, dispelling all the heavy atmosphere. Lit by schadenfreude, "Poor Dickie Bird."

...What are these superheroes thinking? ?
