"Hey! Wait! Difficulties, don't you feel obligated to explain to me what exactly happened?"
Tony Stark made an emergency stop and came closer, wanting to prevent the Supreme Mage Ancient One and Balthazar, who had opened the portal to Kama Taj, from leaving.
But unfortunately, Ancient Yi didn't even bother him at all. He went straight through the portal and closed the passage without hesitation, not taking this billionaire and genius scientist seriously at all.
In comparison, Balthazar's attitude was a bit better. At least before activating the teleportation spell, he said, "If you want to know the truth, come to me at home. I don't want to explain the same thing twice."
There is no doubt that this is definitely the first time in history for Iron Man who always enjoys the attention of everyone wherever he goes. He was floating in mid-air for several minutes before he came back to his senses. I am not sure.
He asked in a tone of voice: "Jarvis, was I ignored just now?"
"Yes, sir. Especially the Supreme Mage, he clearly showed contempt and disdain the moment he saw you."
The artificial intelligence butler was as "honest" as ever and gave a straightforward answer in the affirmative.
This obviously made Tony Stark a little embarrassed, and he immediately couldn't help but retorted: "This is impossible! You must have seen it wrong."
"Then how do you explain her turning around and leaving without saying a word? According to the results I searched on the Internet, this behavior itself carries a strong connotation of contempt."
Jarvis added the final blow in an emotionless tone.
moment!
Tony Stark, who was so angry one second, couldn't help complaining out of control the next second: "Damn it! They are so arrogant! Don't they have the right to participate in this kind of conversation if they don't understand magic?
This is blatant discrimination!”
Jarvis used his preset "humor" to complain: "Sorry, sir, I'm afraid you are not qualified to use the word arrogance to describe others.
Because in the eyes of many people, you are the most arrogant person in daily life.
In addition, I must solemnly remind you that it is best not to participate in such too dangerous events again.
It turns out that your armor is completely defenseless against supernatural magical forces.
The previous cult incident was like this, and this time when I encountered the terrifying invasion of the dimensional devil, I almost fell out of the air and died."
"Shut up! I'll find a solution."
Tony was so angry that he yelled at his artificial intelligence butler.
After all, there is nothing more embarrassing and more self-esteem-damaging than trying to appear as a superhero twice, only to be offline from the very beginning and even have to wait for others to come to save your life.
More importantly, he realized that the armor and technology he was proud of were completely useless in the face of truly powerful power.
You can neither save others nor yourself.
Especially watching a plane fall from the sky and explode on the road due to communication interruption and electronic equipment malfunction, causing the death of at least one to two hundred people, it felt terrible.
And this is just the consequence of the Dimension Demon God leaking a little bit of power.
Iron Man simply cannot imagine what the world would be like if a dimensional demon really came to earth one day.
Will human civilization completely become history in an instant?
The strong sense of crisis that could not be described in words began to have a huge impact on his spirit and heart, and his mood gradually became a little nervous and anxious.
Just when Tony was hiding in the suit, breathing heavily and trying to calm down, he suddenly heard a familiar phone ringing.
Out of a subconscious first reaction, he directly chose to answer the call.
moment!
Pepper Potts' concerned voice echoed in her ears.
"Tony! Where are you?"
"I'm over New York. What's wrong?"
Iron Man responded while flying towards Balthazar's residence.
He obviously knew very well that Nick Fury would definitely visit him as soon as the communication was restored.
After all, this time it did not only affect a small city, but all countries on the earth witnessed the energy storm from the dark dimension.
The Security Council will certainly be eager to know what happened.
So as long as we can get there in time, we can know the truth.
As a very curious person, Tony Stark would not let go of this opportunity to get a glimpse of the secrets of the Dimensional Demon.
Pepper Potts obviously didn't know this, but he was obviously relieved after learning that his boss was fine, and immediately reported: "Due to the previous communication interruption, many equipment problems occurred in the building of the Stark Industries headquarters.
, you'd better come back and take care of it as soon as possible. Especially the power supply reactor, no one can handle it except you."
"Don't worry, give the employees a holiday first, and I'll solve it as soon as I figure out the situation."
Tony ignored the chaotic situation of Stark Industries and flew straight in the opposite direction.
Are you going to deal with these trivial matters now?
What a joke!
As a wealthy and willful representative, he doesn't care about the losses caused by the company being shut down for a day or two.
"what are you busy with?"
Pepper Potts finally realized something was wrong.
Tony responded casually: "You can't believe what I have experienced before and what incredible scenes I have witnessed. At this moment, I am rushing to Mr. Balthazar's residence to ask him the truth about all this."
"What? You're one of the participants!"
Pepper Potts' tone revealed shock that could not be concealed.
"No, I'm not a participant, I'm just a bystander at best.
To be honest, I was really scared this time and couldn't even figure out what was going on.
Anyway, give me some time first.
I'll tell you what happened when I get back."
After saying this, Iron Man hung up the phone and increased the speed of the Iron Armor to the extreme.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It didn't take long for him to cross a considerable distance and land directly in front of a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city.
What a coincidence that Nick Fury also happened to get off the Quinjet.
The two stood in front of the lawn and stared at each other for half a minute. Finally, Nick Fury broke the silence first and asked: "What did you see?"
"I saw a rift in the sky, and the impressive face in the rift."
Tony gave the answer without thinking.
"Have you seen the Dimension Demon?"
Nick Fury's eyes widened suddenly.
Tony nodded solemnly: "Yes, I saw it, and I also felt the unrivaled power.
To be honest, I simply can't imagine how to prevent such an existence.
Compared with it, the civilization established by us humans is actually quite fragile.
Maybe your Avengers plan is right.
We really need a special force to deter all enemies who attempt to invade the earth and let them understand that there is a price to pay for doing so."
"I'm glad we can reach a consensus on this issue. Let's go in and talk. Mr. Balthazar should be waiting for us inside."
After that, Nick Fury took the lead and walked towards the door of the villa.
Just when he was about to ring the doorbell, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open by a beautiful woman exuding amazing charm and temptation. It was none other than the "Witch Queen" Igvirfu.
Since he had already registered a backup with SHIELD when he arrived, Director Luo Dan recognized this mage who was marked as "extremely dangerous" by Basazat, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and greeted: "It's a great honor to meet you,
Beautiful lady.”
"Hello, Mr. Director, and you, dear little Tony."
Igvirvo deliberately teased Iron Man with his charming tone and eyes, causing the latter to have both physical and psychological reactions in an instant.
After all, Tony Stark has been a playboy for a long time, and he has always been carefree. When he meets the person he likes, he can't help but want to invite him or her to spar.
Although I started to calm down after being kidnapped, it is not so easy to completely get rid of the habits that have been formed for a long time.
Especially a woman like Igvirvo, who is as dangerous and crazy as a poppy, is like a cup of sweet poison to a man like him who longs for excitement. Even if he knows it is poisonous, he can't help but want to take a sip.
But fortunately, Iron Man's brain remained awake at the critical moment. He smiled bitterly and shook his head without responding to this provocation.
Because he knew that the woman in front of him was almost old enough to be his great-grandmother.
Under the leadership of Igvirvo, the two quickly walked into the living room of the house and saw Balthazar already sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time.
Next to him, sitting impressively was the female version of Sarevok, whose body exuded the strong smell of blood.
Out of the Kingsman's intuition, Nick Fury almost immediately concluded that this tough woman who looked more manly than men must have killed someone, and killed a lot of people, but he didn't say anything more.
After all, he had already learned from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s field agents that this son of Baal, the God of Murder, had had more than a dozen fights with local gangsters since he came to Earth.
Many unlucky people lost their lives because they provoked people they did not dare to provoke, and many were even permanently disabled.
Violence and bloodthirsty tendencies are simply not ordinary.
The only good thing is that Sarevok never messes with ordinary people.
Those who died at his hands were basically either drug dealers or gangsters.
After sitting down, Nick Fury asked straight to the point: "The culprit responsible for this global communication interruption is Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension? Did he launch an attack on the earth?"
"Yes.
But don't worry, this guy has been chased away by his owner.
And this time he almost lost control of half of the dark dimension.
I probably won’t dare to come near your world again for a long time.”
Balthazar also gave the answer the other party most urgently wanted to know concisely.
"You mean... Lord Soth completely defeated Dormammu?"
Nick Fury's eyes suddenly shone, and his body leaned forward slightly.
Balthazar picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then nodded slightly: "Yes, he won the war between the dimensional demons, and at the same time he fulfilled his promise to protect the earth from anything beyond your capabilities.
Enemy invasion within range.
Now he is cleaning up the half of the dark dimension he snatched, which is estimated to take one to two months.
If you have any questions or want to make a request, you can wait until the owner comes and tell him in person."
"Lord Soth is coming to Earth?!"
Nick Fury could no longer remain calm and suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Igvirvo smiled and consoled him: "Relax, don't be so nervous, he may just want to have something to eat and relax.
Unlike Dormammu, our master is not a murderous and destructive maniac, nor is he interested in conquering a remote and backward planet.
He prefers to trade to get what he wants.
And as far as I know, the master’s hometown is the Earth in a certain universe, so he may also have certain emotions and curiosity about your Earth.
You must know that among the worlds he visited and controlled, there was an earth that developed a civilization of magic and wizards. Now, with the help of Shuoyou, it has achieved leapfrog development in science and technology.
We have now stepped out of the earth and officially entered the era of space colonization within the scope of the star system.”
"What? Mr. Soth was once a human on Earth?"
Nick Fury opened his mouth in disbelief, and finally understood why the other party offered such loose conditions.
After all, given the disparity in strength and technological level between the two sides, even if they directly send an army to occupy the earth and enslave all mankind, there will be no resistance on the earth's side.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But if this demon is also an Earthling, at least he once was, then everything makes sense.
Likewise, this also means that you can play the emotional card.
In just a few seconds, Director Lu Dan came up with a plan in his mind. He planned to immediately use the power of SHIELD to find the best chefs from all major cuisines in the world, make the most exquisite and luxurious clothes, and select
The most beautiful, charming and understanding woman…
In short, do everything you can to awaken this powerful demon's longing for his hometown, and then make him regard this earth as his second home.
In this way, the earth can get more benefits and protection from it.
You must know that after this small invasion by the dark dimension lord Dormammu, millions of people died around the world.
Some South American and African countries with poor security have exploded on the spot, almost entering a state of anarchy.
Not to mention anything else, the counter used to count the soul currency in his hand has increased a lot.
Both the Security Council and SHIELD are deeply afraid of this.
Although they blamed the disaster on "an unknown phenomenon caused by a violent solar flare" through the news media, a small number of people have already become aware of the truth.
Hackers who have always been anti-government tend to frequently invade email servers, hoping to find out the truth hidden by officials.
As a powerful legendary mage, Igvirvo easily read the thoughts in Nick Fury's mind, and raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile: "If I were you, I would go back right now.
Be prepared. If you can impress the owner, maybe he will give you a signed blank check like some rich people in this world."
"Thank you so much for providing such great information."
Nick Fury quickly bent down and bowed.
Because this information is too important to him and the entire earth.
As long as you can make good use of it, you will definitely get huge benefits from it.
"Then how are you going to repay me?"
There was a glint in Igvirvo's eyes that was hard to detect.
Nick Fury replied without thinking: "As long as it is within my ability and authority, any request you make will be met immediately."
"Ah! Great. If that's the case, then help me recruit and form a film shooting team."
Igvirvo made a straightforward request.
"Film shooting team?"
Not only was Nick Fury stunned, but Iron Man on the side was also stunned. The two looked at each other subconsciously.
Igwiervo stroked his long hair hanging from his ears with seductive movements and explained: "I have always enjoyed being in the spotlight, and I like to be praised and worshiped. So I want to make a movie to
Debut as a star."
"A very reasonable request. No problem. I will help you form an excellent film shooting team as soon as I get back."
The corners of Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
In his opinion, vanity is a common problem among women, even a mage with powerful magical power is no exception.
And in a nutshell, this is also a good thing.
With Igwielvo's beauty and temperament, once he becomes a star, he will definitely have a huge fan base around the world.
At that time, even if it is to maintain and protect their fans, the other party will take action when the earth is in crisis.
In this way, the short conversation ended quickly.
After receiving the exact information, Nick Fury quickly stood up and left, planning to submit these important reports to the Security Council when he returned.
Iron Man said that he would fully support Igwielvo's star career. No matter what problems he encounters during the filming process, he can call him. He is still quite energetic in the entertainment industry (he has slept with a lot of models, reporters and movie stars).
.
After all the outsiders left, Balthazar frowned and asked, "What on earth are you planning?"
"To gain faith, of course!
Haven't you noticed it yet?
The master sent us to this world in the hope that we can gain strength from the worship of those mortals and become gods or god-like powers.
You and Sarevok are both sons of God, and I have been favored by the will of the abyss and am considered a demon lord.
In other words, we all have the potential to become gods or powerful god-like powers."
When saying these words, Igvirvo licked his lips greedily, not hiding his ambition and desire at all.
Sarevok stared at the mobile phone he had left on the table with a thoughtful expression: "So you thought of using celebrities, the group that is most likely to attract attention, to achieve the purpose of collecting beliefs?"
Igvirvo nodded proudly: "Yes, that's it.
Look at those guys who do all kinds of stupid things because they are starstruck.
I'm sure it would be easy to gather millions of zealous and devout believers.
Of course, you both could follow a similar path.
For example, Balthazar can create a superhero character and appear in the public eye at a certain time in the future.
When the time comes, countless mortals will naturally regard you as their savior.
And you, Sarevok, can build a terrifying legend in the minds of criminals, making them fear you, fear you, worship you, and even become an abstract symbol of some kind of crime.
I believe that as long as we manage things properly, we can completely transform the world."
"Sounds good, what do you think?"
Sarevok's heart was obviously moved, with strong anticipation on his face as he looked at the powerful monk.
After all, Balthazar is the leader of this small group, and he is also the strongest person.
"As long as it doesn't affect the master's plan, I won't interfere too much with your actions. But please remember, don't spread too much chaos and killing. The master doesn't like this."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After being silent for more than ten seconds, Balthazar finally gave a positive answer.
Although he himself is not very interested in becoming a god or a god-like power, it is always good to be able to increase his power.
Especially after fighting against Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, he has realized that there may be many powerful enemies in this universe that he could not imagine, so strengthening his strength has become an agenda that must be put on the agenda.
"Hahahaha! In this case, I will start thinking about how to seize and incorporate gangs and criminal organizations in major cities in this country."
Sarevok laughed and showed a bloodthirsty and cruel expression, obviously preparing for a big fight.
After all, he was originally an out-and-out careerist, with an extraordinary desire for strength and power.
He didn't show it before because he was suppressed by Zuo Si, but now this desire has finally found an outlet.
Become the supreme king of the underground world!
Create your own legend and completely become a symbol of crime, killing and death!
In contrast, Igvirvo has begun preparing magical rituals that can hypnotize and psychologically suggest thousands of people at once, intending to turn all his fans into his licking dogs and fanatical followers.
Watching the two chaotic and evil guys sharpening their knives beside him, Balthazar couldn't help but sigh secretly.
If possible, he would actually prefer to cooperate with lawful-leaning followers like Sun Knight Davian and Storm Archer Lantis.
But what the divine monk didn't know was that Davian actually felt a headache at the moment.
Because the place he is currently in is the famous Gotham City, and the man standing not far away wearing a black pointed-eared hood is Batman Bruce Wayne.
In fact, this is not the first time the two have met.
But the atmosphere is still so awkward that one can dig out three rooms and one living room with his toes on the ground.
After a full minute, Batman said through the voice changer: "You should not kill them, but hand them over to the police and the judicial system for trial."
“And then let these scum escape and continue to harass, rob and rape innocent people on this street?
The city was in complete decay, and the only way to save it was to destroy it and rebuild it.
What's more, I was just acting in self-defense.
They shot at me first, and then I shot back."
Davian raised his head, revealing his eyes that were as bright and dazzling as the sun in the night.
Obviously, like Balthazar, he was also sent here by the perfected planeswalker at almost the same time.
However, it is different from Balthazar who contacted SHIELD immediately after showing his power.
Instead of waiting for official contact, he was recruited by various criminal organizations including gangs.
Some even come to visit with boxes full of banknotes and scantily clad women, saying that as long as they are willing to be loyal to them, they can choose whatever they want, whether it is wealth, women or power.
It has to be said that Gotham City, with its simple folk customs and abundant talents, really shocked this Sun Knight.
He originally thought that certain city-states controlled by thieves guilds in Faerûn were bad enough.
But compared with this, the minor problems in the former are nothing at all.
On the contrary, Gotham City's twisted, sick, chaotic, but logically self-consistent society makes people full of despair and want to go crazy.
No wonder this city is teeming with all kinds of pathologies, lunatics and monsters, all of which are forced out by the environment.
And the protector of the city in front of him, Batman, is the most seriously ill monster.
He thought he was protecting the city, but little did he know that from the moment he put on the mask, he had become a part of Gotham City, and at the same time he was also one of the psychopaths, lunatics and monsters.
At least in Davian's eyes, there are few people in this city who can be called "normal".
Everyone has a disease, a terrible contagious mental illness.
"But the guns in their hands pose no threat to you at all. What you are doing is not self-defense at all, but over-defense."
The master glanced at the corpses on the ground whose heads were easily smashed or whose chests were collapsed and retorted.
As someone who adheres to the no-kill principle, he obviously doesn't like this situation of directly bypassing legal procedures and killing criminals on the spot.
What's more, Gotham is his territory.
Under normal circumstances, when encountering similar things, he would usually arrest the person and throw them to the police.
The reason why I am not taking action now is because I am not sure.
You must know that when the two met for the first time, Batman had already tried to capture each other once.
As a result, several bones were broken that time, and he lay in bed for more than two months without being able to get up.
This is the result of showing mercy.
Since then, Batman has been collecting intelligence on Davian and repeatedly formulating strategies against the latter.
Unfortunately, he has not been able to figure out the true identity of the man in front of him so far.
The only thing I know is that the other party will never show mercy when facing evil crimes. He will basically kill everyone he encounters. In just a few months, he has killed thousands of people.
Even the craziest one was when he rushed directly into the gang's lair and slaughtered hundreds of people including the boss.
Since this incident, no one in the entire Gotham City has dared to provoke this terrifying god of murder who completely ignores firearms and explosions. They have assumed that the entire area around this place is his territory, and the security is extremely good.
Even land prices have increased by more than 70%.
Many civilians who were fed up with being threatened and exploited by gangs and criminal policemen rushed in, forming a very prosperous commercial street.
Except for those outsiders who know nothing about it, even thieves and drug dealers dare not approach easily.
Because unlike Batman, who at most received a beating and then went to jail, this one completely ignored the laws and rules and would kill even the police who took money from gangsters to cause trouble.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You are sick! And you are very sick!"
Davian stared into Bruce Wayne's eyes and spoke word by word.
"I'm sick?"
Batman was stunned for a moment.
Because this was the first time he heard someone commenting on him like this.
You must know that in Gotham City, some people love him, some hate him, some fear him, and some curse him, but no one has ever said that he is sick.
But Davian nodded seriously: "Yes, you are just sick.
Your worldview and values have been distorted by this city that exudes chaos and evil.
I think that as long as I set the bottom line of the principle of not killing, I can stick to my humanity and prevent myself from becoming one of those crazy criminals.
Little do you know that this is precisely the source of restraint and morbidity in your heart and mind.
What's even more ridiculous is that in a city where systemic corruption has reached an extreme level, you are trying to use the law to restrict crime, thinking that the law represents justice.
Remember, the essence of law is the expression of the will of the ruling class.
Who do you think the ruling class in Gotham City are?
Why did this city abolish the death penalty?
You must know that the death penalty is the best means to deter vicious crimes, bar none.
And you, who know all this but still insist on the principle of no killing and insist on using the law to fight crime, are you not sick?
Why do you think people in this city never appreciate Batman?
Because from a utilitarian perspective, everything you do is meaningless and useless.
Countless criminals have gone to prison and come out, continuing to cause trouble as before. Nothing will change at all.
They know very clearly that they will never die in your hands, let alone be sentenced to death due to judicial trial, so why are they still afraid?
Do you think you can really become the tool in the hearts of all criminals in this situation?
Believe me!
If one day a criminal is being hunted by his enemies, the person he wants to see most urgently is definitely you.
What's more, since you insist on the principle of no killing, why are you so keen on using lynching and violence to solve problems?
In my opinion, what you need now is not to punish evil and promote good to protect this city, but to find a psychiatrist."
There is no doubt that these words hit the master's heart like a bullet in an instant, so that he stood in silence for a long time.
But soon, Batman calmed down his restless emotions by relying on his hard-earned, or can be said to be riddled with holes in his heart, and raised his head and asked: "What about you?
What is your psychology and purpose in killing those criminals and gangsters?
Do you consider yourself a messenger of justice or a god?
Do you also want to be like the guy who appeared in Metropolis and look down on and rule the mortals with your own powerful power?"
"No, neither.
I just can't stand it.
I am not interested in being a savior, nor do I feel that I have an obligation to help and save everyone in this world.
You can understand that I am acting according to my own preferences.
Since law and order in Gotham City have become ineffective and even gangsters can establish rules on their own territory, why can't I?
At least I will not force teenage girls to stand on the street, nor will I charge protection fees, nor will I sell various contraband, or use loan sharking to force families to separate and go to a dead end."
Davian expressed his attitude clearly.
Although he was not sure what the purpose of the diary was in sending him to this place, he was certain that it had something to do with the Batman in front of him.
"..."
Bruce Wayne apparently has nothing to say about this.
Because he knew Davian was right.
Gotham City's gangs have long broken away from the boundaries of ordinary criminal organizations and have completely integrated with the city itself.
It is not only an important force in maintaining governance, but also the pillar of the underlying economy.
God knows what chaos would be like if there were no gangs that ruled every neighborhood.
Maybe countless perverted murderers and psychopaths will emerge overnight.
Compared to these deadly things, gangsters who want money are slightly better.
This is why Batman has been fighting crime for many years and sending gang leaders to prison one after another. But in the end, Gotham City's criminal industry is still booming. Instead of shrinking, it is growing at an extremely rapid rate.
The reason is very simple!
He always attacks only one or two people or the upper-level gang he belongs to.
The disappearance of these people does not mean that the entire industry chain has disappeared. It will not be long before the people below will fight to find the winner and continue to engage in these illegal and criminal money-making businesses.
After all, it's not easy to find a real job in a place like Gotham City.
On the contrary, gray and black industries have no barriers and are the most ideal choices for poor people with little education.
As long as you dare to fight hard and don't die in gang fights, you can climb to a good position in a few years.
After a long silence, Bruce Wayne finally could only say "I'll keep an eye on you", then he fired his grappling gun and jumped onto the roof, then disappeared into the night sky on his Batplane.
About seven or eight minutes later, he returned to his Batcave, took off the armor on his body and the helmet on his head, with a depressed and defeated expression on his face.
"Ah, sir, you are finally back.
I have to say that since Mr. Davian appeared, you have been coming back earlier and earlier every day.
If things continue like this, maybe Batman will be able to retire before long.
I just made a pot of hot coffee, would you like a cup?"
The butler Alfred asked with a smile while holding up the steaming coffee pot in his hand.
From the slightly joking look in his eyes, it was easy to see that he had heard all the conversation just now.
The most important thing is that this "Butler Man" very much agrees with Davian's words. His master is indeed ill, and his illness is not serious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, how could you leave the sole heir and billionaire of the Wayne family alone instead of being a vigilante?
It was very thankless, and it often resulted in injuries all over my body, and I almost lost my life several times.
What's more important is that you don't have to fall in love, get married, or have children at your age.
If anything goes wrong, the Wayne family will have to die.
As someone who grew up watching Bruce Wayne and even played a father figure to a certain extent, Alfred longed more than anyone for Batman to completely disappear from this world.
"Do you think I'm sick too?"
Bruce Wayne asked in an uncertain tone.
"If you need a psychiatrist, I can recommend a few."
Alfred did not directly give a positive or negative answer, but used one or two very high emotional intelligence expressions.
As an excellent butler, he knows how to take care of his master's face and self-esteem.
But Bruce Wayne is so smart that he immediately understood what his butler wanted to express, and laughed at himself in a rather tired voice: "So even you think that I was wrong from the beginning, and I shouldn't have embarked on this journey."
A dark road full of thorns?"
"I didn't say that.
But you can't deny that Mr. Davian did change Gotham City.
At least that's what it looks like in the neighborhoods he controls.
And this is something you and Chief Gordon have spent many years failing to do.
There is an old saying in the far east, that is, nothing can be established without destruction.
Sometimes destruction is not the beginning of a new life.”
As he spoke, Alfred poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it to him, adding a piece of sugar to it.
"But he killed thousands of people for this! Although these people are criminals and gangsters, this kind of behavior of taking other people's lives at will without judicial trial is a crime."
Bruce Wayne said angrily.
He is obviously still insisting on his own ideas and opinions and has not been convinced by Davian.
Alfred responded with a smile: "Killing without trial is indeed a crime.
But please don't forget a sentence in "The Return of Sherlock Holmes Milverton".
If the law cannot bring justice to the parties concerned, private revenge is legitimate and even noble from this moment on.
You care so much about procedural justice that you overlook that the role of law is actually to constrain people's behavior and form a stable social environment.
If criminals no longer fear the law, then what’s the point of it existing?”
"So you support that murderer of unknown origin?"
Bruce Wayne raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
"No, I'm just reminding you that Mr. Davian is not a bad person in the strict sense.
There is no need for you to be so hostile to him.
What's more, you haven't found any information or materials related to him after investigating for so long, which can already explain a lot of problems.
I feel that even if I continue to investigate, there will be no results.
If you really want to know him, it is better to visit him directly and ask straight to the point.
Since you have no good way to deal with him now, why not try to become friends?
After all, in addition to being Batman, you are also the owner of the Wayne Group, with unimaginable wealth in your hands.
Now the economic situation in that area is booming and it is very suitable for large-scale investment and construction."
Alfred made a very vague suggestion.
Bruce Wayne's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, he picked up the cup and took a sip of hot coffee, quickly formulating a new plan in his mind.
