[Comprehensive Movie] Goddess of Dispute

Bruce looked at Adrian with an unpredictable smile on his face, and suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.Adrian Vetter has always been a successful person with a high IQ. For nearly half a century, people seem to have forgotten his days as a pharaoh.

Because the intersection between the two is limited to the cooperative relationship between the two companies, Bruce did not have a deeper understanding of him before.Perhaps the Witte Group did do some shady things in the last century, but since the "White Queen Incident" - an AI named White Queen launched an attack on a global scale, and countless people were killed in the bombing - Afterwards, all of Witte Group's previously shady operations seemed to disappear.

On that day, the president was bombed and killed. At the same time, the chairman of the former Soviet Union also disappeared mysteriously.And the so-called White Queen was nowhere to be seen.The story behind this is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, or the folklore Dr. Manhattan solved the crisis and saved the United States and the world again, but Bruce has long focused on Gotham, and he has no time to explore 50 years the truth of the past.

However, all of this must have something to do with the old man in front of him, and he can never be the nice man or superhero on the surface.

Bruce chuckled suddenly, put the wine glass on the table, and sat opposite Adrian: "I don't know where Mr. Witt got so much information, and I don't know why Mr. Witt is so confident about those three people. I assume that the confidence is based on your research on Dr. Manhattan's abilities in the last century, and you are not here today to provide help, but to ask for help."

"Look, that's right." Adrian was very satisfied with Bruce's anti-customer, and he still said in the slow and aristocratic tone that was like chatting in the afternoon, "You also skipped pretending to be a fool with me The part of Playboy's face is very good, so we have something to talk about."

"I don't think that just what I just said can make Zhenglian's brain answer any of my questions and agree to any of my requests, and I don't want to waste time and energy making some boring disguises, making you mistakenly think that I am right. The person behind that pseudonym is not very interested to gain the upper hand in the negotiation process. So, I will not deny that I have to know who that person is and meet him, and I will tell you, it is very important .”

"..." Adrian admitted without changing his face that he was indeed asking for his attitude, which surprised Bruce. After all, smart people don't make their desires too obvious when negotiating. , the more dismissive you have to be, in order to occupy a dominant position psychologically.Bruce admitted that Adrian was a smart guy, and he definitely didn't say that out of softness.

He is a person who is so proud and arrogant that he only has himself in his eyes. He is absolutely impossible to be subdued. He must have other meanings when he says this, or he is confident. He is very confident that he will eventually tell everything he wants to know.Bruce doesn't like this, Adrian is definitely not a good comer, how could he put his father in danger?

"Then, my answer to that is no, Batman doesn't need any help, Mr Witter, now I'm asking you to get out of here very politely, 'here' I mean Gotham." Bruce stood up, hands in his pockets Go to the door of the office.

In any case, Bruce decided to send the other party back first, and he had his own way to dig out the rest. There are no secrets in modern society, including corpses, which cannot hide any secrets. He wants to see why Adrian Have nothing to fear.

"I'll leave, Mr. Wayne, my private jet is parked at the airport." Adrian shook the amber liquid in the glass, the sound of the ice cubes colliding in the glass was very crisp, under the reflection of the liquid, that The two ice cubes seemed to be covered with a golden brown coat, which reminded him of the color of that person's irises.

He lowered his eyes slightly, drained the wine in the glass, and watched the ice cube turn into its original color before he was a little satisfied.

"You know, many times people's experience is not only reflected in age, I have lived two lives, so I know a lot of things that you will never understand, and I can be sure, Mr. Wayne, you will go to me , will eventually. And during this time, I also know that you will definitely look up my affairs, look up the things of the year, when you go deep—I mean very deep—when you search, you will eventually You'll understand why I'm so confident and confident."

Adrian said, stood up, and buttoned the opening of his suit. "Just as a small favor, I've sent people to send the things you will need to your manor. I wish you a happy day."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bruce to react, he directly bypassed the other party, opened the door one step ahead, and walked to the elevator.

Standing by the window, Bruce watched Adrian who got into the private car downstairs, and immediately turned around and strode out of the office.He couldn't stay here, not even for a moment, and the so-called "date" to create public opinion in the afternoon had to be cancelled.Too many bizarre things have happened these days, and he needs to know why.

Why is Adrian so obsessed with the name Eris Marsha?So obsessed... as soon as he heard it, he rushed to Gotham... and what did his father know about the name?Did he have something to hide from him?Taking "Marsha" as the surname Bruce is understandable, because it is a homonym of his mother's name, but... what does the name Eris represent?

And... Since his father loved his mother so deeply, why did Thomas never mention to him that after finding out why he came here, he also took over Martha?Under normal circumstances, all ex-wives long for and cherish the reunion, even Bruce himself has even thought about it, but why...

Back home, without waiting for him to ask anything, Ah Fu took the initiative to greet him: "About half an hour ago, Mr. Witt sent someone to deliver a big gift. Master Thomas has already moved the things to the Bat Cave, but I hope you have not sent the gift to the Bat Cave. It was intended as a fish tank, as we already had a difficult-to-clean pool in our backyard."

Ah Fu's meaning was very clear, and Werther sent something similar to a "fish tank".

When Bruce came to the Batcave, he happened to see Thomas and Damian studying the huge transparent "jar".

"Come on, old man, this should be something similar to a prison." Damian knocked on the outer wall of the device, and he found that the inner layer had blue ripples like the surface of water. Unknown effect."

"This material is just ordinary bulletproof glass. Believe me, kid, I've seen this kind of thing a lot, and a large-caliber gun can easily shoot through it." Thomas shook his head, "Prison? Okay, let me ask you, this device Where is the door? If you want to shut people in, you need a door first."

"Maybe it's just a high-tech, or just an ordinary display case. The Witte Group used to sell toy models." Damian curled his lips, and seemed to remember something, and looked at Thomas with his chest folded, "So, in your world , you're Batman, and you use a gun, you kill people?"

"uh-huh."

"Cool... at least your kind of Batman won't be like that conservative old guy." Damian complained in a whimper.

Thomas looked at the awkward expression on his face, and the expression on his face suddenly became playful. With a flaunting tone deliberately teasing his grandson, he said slowly: "In my world, there is only Batman in Gotham, and there is no Justice League here. There is no Superman. Whenever people mention superheroes, they will think of Batman. Double guns are Batman's weapons. He can kill people, so the miscellaneous fish in Gotham dare not go to the streets every night. This world is in Gotham Criminals who do evil are almost non-existent in that world, except for... clowns."

"That's the real effect I want, old man! Sometimes, for those bad guys, the only way to eradicate them is to kill them..." Damian echoed, and for the first time, he felt that he had found a real capable person Batman in partnership.

But Thomas didn't pay attention to what Damian said, still thinking about himself: "And Batman wanders around Gotham every night, even if there are no criminals, because he knows he hasn't caught the clown yet. And whenever he meets Criminals, he will drive them to a specific high-rise building, the high-rise building next to the alley, the alley where he lost his son, and then let the other party fall into the dark abyss..."

"..."

"Batman can never escape that alley. Sometimes, he wonders what if he hadn't brought his family out that night, but never if. Because of the criminal freedom to hold a gun at will, he lost His child, he took a wrong path for him, before that, who would have known that he was a doctor who saved lives and healed wounded?" Thomas sighed, knelt down in front of Damian, put his hands on the on his shoulders.

"If he hadn't lost the child, he would still be a doctor who saved lives, you know what I mean, Damian? My crimes are born of the death of a child, but you have no reason to go down the same path as me, you Unlike me, you have a choice, but I don't. Bruce may be too harsh on you sometimes, so harsh that you even think he doesn't love you, but you must never doubt a father's love, because you never know that a father can Do something for your son."

"...I don't need you to babble, old man..." Damian looked away.

"Well, of course, sometimes for those criminals who are too annoying, it's not impossible to slip your hand. After all, people always make mistakes. When a doctor slips, it can be fatal." Thomas changed the subject and rushed to Mian blinked.

"Pfft..." Damian laughed out loud, and then it turned into a big laugh, "I like you, old man."

"Of course, I am your grandfather."

Bruce looked at the grandpa and grandson, and for some reason, his doubts about Thomas disappeared in an instant. He pretended to have just come down, and walked down the stairs: "What are you laughing at? What about the things Werther sent?"

"Don't worry, it's not about your childhood." Thomas smiled and winked at Damian, then pointed to the instrument, "That's it, take a look."

Bruce came to the front, and like Damian, knocked on the outer wall of the instrument, looked at the blue ripples, frowned slightly, seemed to be remembering something, and suddenly said: "Besides this thing, there are other things. ?"

"Yes." Damian replied, and immediately found three things that looked like fans from a side alley.It's not big, but it takes two hands to pick it up.

Bruce looked at the three "fans", then at the huge instrument, and suddenly sighed: "He really did it..."

"What?" Thomas said.

"Your world is a little different from mine, so you may not know it." Bruce came to the computer and quickly found some old newspaper photos, "This is a project about the Werther Group and the intergovernmental organization in the last century. At that time, the newspaper tracked and reported it for a month. Werther attempted to replicate the abilities of Dr. Manhattan—the world’s first superhero with abilities—and apply them to various fields of society. But this is impossible, Dr. Manhattan’s No one can master the quantum ability, and before he left the earth, Witte Group only developed a new type of energy."

"I didn't expect...he really did it...I finally know why he is so sure that he can catch those three ability users easily..."

Thomas stood in front of the big screen, staring at the old photo, without making a sound, but Bruce didn't notice his abnormality, he just quickly picked up a "fan" and started to study it.

"What's wrong?" Damian bumped Thomas' arm.

Thomas immediately came back to his senses, looked at Damian, and shook his head violently.

"It's nothing, I'm just... reading the report... I have to make up the history."

Thomas sat in front of the computer absent-mindedly, flipping through the old reports, searching for the woman he felt very familiar with.

That woman standing next to Dr. Manhattan, who came to cooperate with Dr. Manhattan on behalf of the Werther Group... Who is it?Why does he always feel that he has seen each other somewhere?
