[Comprehensive Anglo-American] To be a king can save the world

Damian woke up. He didn't open his eyes immediately. His body was weak and his muscles were sore. He had been injected with muscle relaxants.

The surrounding is very quiet but it is not impossible to hear the sound. There are noisy sounds from a distant place, like a few walls, there is music, this is a bar or a club.

He tried to move his hands, but his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't move.

Seriously, a little bit of regret appeared in Damian's heart. He has lived 12 years in his life, and the number of regrets can only be counted, and this time will be counted among them.

Why is he here?

Also because of last night.

Last night Batman took him on a mission to protect Talon.

Although the targets of the sharp claws are all bad guys who don't want to die, but no matter what, it's not the turn of the owl court to sentence them to death. They should be sent to the police station to accept legal sanctions.

However, the claws seemed to have expected that Batman would hinder their actions, and the number of claws dispatched that night was very impressive.

After the Bat Family fought with them, they were still beheaded by the claws to kill the mission target.

Now that the mission target to be protected is dead, Batman also plans to retreat, after all, they can't pry anything useful from Talon's mouth.

Damian was obviously not reconciled to the fact that his protected target was killed right under his nose. He ignored Batman's dissuasion and chased after him, and then...

There is no then.

He woke up again and appeared here.

Damian wasn't very worried that he wouldn't be able to escape here, he was only worried about one thing, and that was Batman.

Whether he escaped by himself or Batman rescued him this time, he couldn't escape being beaten by his father's love like a mountain.

It's okay to get a beating, which is acceptable to Damian. The most unacceptable thing he can't accept is Batman's disappointed look at him. The only way to relieve Batman's anger and restore his dignity is...

Escape yourself and wreak havoc, or simply figure out what the Court of Owls is up to.

Thinking of this, Damian didn't intend to continue pretending to be asleep, he just opened his eyes and looked around generously.

A dim room with dim red lights, a glass coffee table, a long sofa along the wall and a crystal lamp overhead, just as he expected, this is a private room of a bar or a club.

Through the decoration style and carved decoration of the private room, Damian quickly guessed where it was.

Robin's compulsory course, memorize the landmarks of each place, so that you can quickly lock your position. This is the city that never sleeps in the West End, a super-large bar..club..nightclub, in short, it has many names, Anyway, it is a place for people to relax, entertain and gather intelligence.

Ha, it turns out that the city that never sleeps is also the territory of the Court of Owls.

No wonder no one dares to make trouble in the city that never sleeps. If you dare to make trouble in the city that never sleeps, the owl court will quietly confiscate your house the next day and make you disappear from this world. No one knows.

The Court of Owls can do it, they always do, and they hate it when their rights are challenged.

This is what Damian thought more about. The City that Never Sleeps is not the territory of the Court of Owls, but the territory of the Cardia family. This is why Ryan dared to appear in the City that Never Sleeps tonight.

The attendant whom he accidentally poured water on was one of his subordinates. He was very innocent. His master, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly became limping. He wanted to find a chance to chat with his master about his future plans, but he was rejected. Splashed hot water.

The master didn't seem to be planning a strategy in the past, but looked like a harmless little animal, which made the servants wonder if the master had been taken away.

A bearded beard who dares to take advantage of Ryan will naturally be taken care of by the people of the city that never sleeps.

Just as Damian was thinking, there was a crisp clicking sound, and he quickly closed his eyes. There was a warm wind with the smell of wine blowing outside the door, and the sound of another person's footsteps.

The man's footsteps were heavy, the center of gravity was on the left foot, and the right foot was almost silent, and the right foot was replaced by a cane.

Almost instantly, Damian confirmed the identity of the visitor.

Anther Cardia, the thief who stole one of Jason Todd's hearts, is also the new boss who replaced the Court of Owls council.

This man is really not simple, relying on his innocent and harmless demeanor in front of Todd to use Jason to clean up the court for him, so that he can ascend to the throne of power safely and soundly.

"Do you still want to pretend to be asleep?" A dry voice came from above his head, without any emotion.

Now that Ryan had pointed it out, Damian didn't pretend anymore. He simply opened his eyes. Even though his muscles were weak, he still sat up with a force. youth.

This is the first time for Damian to see Ryan in real life. He has seen photos of him in surveillance or data files a few times before. This does not prevent Damian from clearly engraving Ryan's appearance.

Damian always thought that Todd would like a beauty with a hot figure, a charming appearance, and an equally hot personality. However, when he saw Ryan, a young man with a bad figure, good looks, and a personality like a lamb, He immediately felt that Ryan had given Todd some ecstasy.

Now Damian is even more certain that Ryan gave Todd the ecstasy drug, he can't get the point that Todd likes Ryan at all.

Ryan was holding a cane, with one shoulder tilted, his thin body looked as if he would fall if pushed lightly, and there was a bandage wrapped around his forehead, as well as his neck. The bandage should have extended all the way to his upper body.

The hair has not been trimmed or taken care of for some time, and it hangs by the ears, and it is clearly visible under the eyes, and the cheeks are thin and the outline of the bones can be seen.

It is different from what he saw in the surveillance before, ha, it seems that breaking up with Todd still has an impact on him, and it has a great impact.

The thought of this made Damian happy.

He lifted his lips happily, and blurted out provocative words: "I have to say, it's a good thing that Red Hood chose to break up with you."

Damian doesn't like Ryan, not only because of some of the reasons he mentioned above, but also a kind of intuition, just like he doesn't like the black knight, even Dick's blind lover brings Damian a strange feeling sense of disobedience.

But Dick was special, and Damian never mentioned it because he didn't want to upset him.

Ryan was not stimulated by Damian's words, he looked at Damian very calmly, and Damian looked back at Ryan with a provocative expression.

Just when Damian was about to lose his hold, Ryan said suddenly: "Damian Wayne."

Damian's smile froze.

Although there was no change in expression on his face, Damian's heart was already full of waves. How could he know his name?

Did Ryan take off his domino blindfold while he was asleep?No, it's impossible, unless Damian took off the domino blindfold with his own hands, it would trigger the alarm on the domino blindfold and secretly send location information to the Batcave.

If a location message was sent, he should be in the Batcave by now.

Perhaps guessing what Damian wanted to say, Ryan said calmly: "The Cardia family controls the Court of Owls, but they are not connected with the Court of Owls."

it's a lie,

"So please rest assured, so far, and from now on, only I know about your family's affairs." Ryan's voice was extremely calm, even though he knew how vigilant his words would make Damian.

"What do you want to do?" Damian restrained his smile and asked expressionlessly.

He was clearly only a 12-year-old child, but the aura and killing intent exuded by Damian were no lower than any sharp claws.

The current Damian tends to be more like him when he was still in the League of Assassins. His weakness was taken advantage of by Ryan. The Bat family tried hard to hide their identity because they knew how much it would bring to themselves and the people around them if they were exposed Trouble.

Now Ryan easily exposed his identity, which made Damian feel panic and self-blame. Could it be that he was caught by Ryan to expose his identity in some way?Even what Ryan said seemed to mean that he knew the secret a long time ago.

This forced Damian to show another side of himself hidden in his heart.

"Don't be nervous, I won't tell anyone this secret." Ryan said, squinting his eyes and laughing, the extra gentle smile only makes people shudder, in addition to shudder, Damian also keenly captured a little bit of absoluteness from it grief.

"I'm always going to die." Ryan said almost calmly, the smile on his face didn't fade at all, but it made Damian feel more sad.

Damian is very sensitive, no matter which aspect, so he can feel that Ryan's emotions are very wrong, he is very sad, but very firm, he has made a choice long ago, and whether Jason chooses to stay away from him It doesn't matter.

why?

Damian couldn't figure it out.

What is he sad about?What does it mean to be dead after all?People always die, and Ryan seems to have calculated his own death method and date.

Perhaps it was because Ryan was completely different from what he had thought before. Damian was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice, and spoke awkwardly.

"What? You don't want to live because the Red Hood broke up with you? You are too fragile, and you don't know what the Red Hood is looking for."

Listen to the question hidden in Damian's words.

Ryan laughed again, he lowered his eyes, hiding the obscurity and gloom in his eyes, and did not answer Damian's question.

"It's not only the idea of ​​the Bat family, but also the idea of ​​the red hood to make Gotham, a city that is dying of illness, better. Now that I have the power to subvert and completely change Gotham, I have to help him."

"You don't want to say that you let the claws kill so many people just to make Gotham better?" Damian sneered, obviously not intending to believe Ryan's words.

"You know in your heart that the people I killed were parasites deeply rooted in Gotham." Ryan raised his lips and smiled. "You Bat-Family always hold back, don't you?"

"This kind of thing naturally has to be left to the professionals."

Naturally, Damian knew that the most recent kills by the Court of Owls were parasites that were harmful to Gotham and feeding off Gotham to make it worse.

But he couldn't believe that Ryan would really do this just because he wanted to help Jason?
