Chapter 1390 There Is No Father and Son in the Mall
Bruce is always a reserved and cold man. Even if Damian takes the initiative to approach him and seek his father's love, he will not act too aggressively.
And now that the stubborn black-haired boy had said such heart-piercing and indifferent words to distance himself from the relationship, Bruce pursed his lips and sighed slightly in disappointment.
He said in a calm tone: "My child, I can understand your resentment towards me. I have indeed failed to fulfill my obligations as a father these years. That is why I want to try my best to compensate..."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Wayne, you seem to have misunderstood something."
The black-haired boy's tone was as flat as his own, as if the conversation was not between a father and son who knew each other, but a pair of strangers who had never met before: "I don't have any resentment towards you. To be exact, I don't have any feelings for you." , who do you think I am, a silly little yellow guy who is discriminated against by the villagers because he has no father? I live a serious life as a prince in the League of Assassins, and the ninjas under me don’t dare to speak loudly to me. I am obedient, because once they offend me, it is only natural for me to kill them to vent my anger."
After a pause, the young man raised his chin and said proudly: "I have not suffered any grievances or depression because I have not had a father since I was a child. On the contrary, I feel extremely happy. My mother dotes on me, my grandfather regards me as his successor, and my subordinates are in awe of me." Me, if I hadn’t been sensitive to my grandpa’s evil intentions later on, my childhood would have been perfect, enough to make any child with both parents go crazy with envy!”
Bruce was stunned. He originally thought that his son would be wronged because of the lack of father's love in childhood, but he didn't expect that Damian was not affected at all, as if his father was a superfluous person to him.
"But this isn't normal!"
Bruce frowned and said, "I carefully investigated your past, including what you did in Teen Titans, and found that your personality and way of life are too weird. Perhaps it is because you lacked the guidance of a good father since you were a child. Growing up in an extremely weird environment makes you become so extreme."
"Hahaha, do you really want me to become normal?"
Bradlow laughed as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke: "Don't be joking. You hope that your only son will live a silly life like most mediocre little kids on the earth and become a man in the future." Lawyer, doctor or social worker, have a decent job, find a woman to have children, grow old and die...is this what you expect from me in the future? A normal life for a normal person?"
Bruce was stunned when he was asked again. After investigating Damian, he found that his son was simply a weirdo among weirdos, and the things he did were definitely not something a twelve-year-old child could do.
Bruce is a very smart man and was not fooled by Damian's hypocrisy at all. From the child's behavior, he clearly felt something was wrong, just like the old saying: "There is no better father than a wise son." Batman After seeing through Damian's seemingly unreasonable and irrational behaviors, both good and evil, he accurately summarized them in two words - ambition.
Because of this, Bruce is secretly worried, fearing that his only bloodline successor in the world will go astray and stand on the opposite side of justice. The more powerful and ambitious he becomes, the more he will eventually try to dominate the world for his own selfish desires.
Bruce tried hard to persuade: "Of course I don't want a genius like you to settle for mediocrity, but you have to know how to be restrained and low-key, just like Superman. He obviously has supreme ability, but he has good self-control. In ordinary life, Pretend to be an ordinary person and don’t feel superior to others just because you have extremely powerful power..."
Bradlow smiled sinisterly and said: "We are all smart people. Don't say such things to deceive children. Superman is low-key because he has to do so. Who makes him an alien? He is not from our race. Like people think differently. If he dares to be high-profile and show any ambition, you will not hesitate to join forces with Luther and try every means to kill him. Admit it, Mr. Wayne, you are not a purely good person. , my sinister character may not entirely come from my mother Thalia’s genes.”
Bruce's face sank and he looked at Damian with a complicated expression. He had once publicly said that Dick Grayson was the son who was most like him. He treated Dick as his own son. But now, after meeting his real son, After having his son, Batman had to admit that Dick's so-called image was just a mere shadow.
In terms of nature, Dick still lacks a deep sense of darkness in his heart. He cannot be like the real Batman, who can arrange a set of targeted plans for his closest friends, hiding the hidden danger of killing them all if something goes wrong. Lead the Justice League with the thoughts of all its members.
The biological son in front of him has truly inherited part of Batman's deep temperament hidden under the surface, but it is a bit too much, and his dark thoughts are too much. If Damian and Dick can neutralize it, maybe it will be the most perfect. The heir to Batman.
It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten. Just like Bruce can't teach Dick Grayson the true evil, he also feels a little pity for Damian. If this kid is not so dark at heart, he will be his most admired relative. Son.
"Furthermore, Mr. Wayne! From the beginning of this conversation I have emphatically requested that you refer to me as Mr. Bredlow."
The black-haired boy's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a hint of anger: "The premise for me to come here to talk to you is because Wayne Group issued an official document to Bredlow Company and wants to start business cooperation with us. Cooperation The basis is mutual respect. If you continue to act like an elder to me and try to teach me the principles of life, then I can only think that your company has no sincerity in cooperation and lacks basic respect for its partners."
"Damian, you can't treat me like this!" Bruce frowned slightly angrily: "No matter what, the blood of the Wayne family flows in your veins... Even if I have not fulfilled my obligation, no matter what, it is your biological responsibility. Father."
"Do you think I am a beggar's son from a wealthy family who has wandered away from home? I came back to see you because I want to be recognized by you, obtain the inheritance rights of a wealthy family, and live a prosperous and prosperous life? Now I have no demands on you, and I am as noble as anyone who asks for nothing!"
Bradlow shook his head indifferently and said: "Now my net worth is not much worse than Wayne Group. After getting stable orders from the military, once my company goes public, its market value will immediately surpass Wayne Group! I want to Richer than you, my biological dad!
If you offend me, then don't blame me for being ruthless. There are no fathers and sons in the shopping mall. I can completely use the profits from high-profit and low-cost military orders to launch a malicious merger and acquisition of Wayne Group, treating Wayne Group as my biggest business competitor. Crazy suppression, until the day when Wayne Group goes bankrupt and liquidates, I will leave you enough pension for the sake of you being my biological father, so that you can have enough food and clothing in your later years! "
Bruce was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "Okay...Mr. Bradlow...that's a really awkward pseudonym. How did you make it up?"
After sorting out my thoughts, I realized that I seemed to have made a mistake - I was confused by the immature age of the young man in front of me, and I still treated him as a child, trying to use my father's identity to persuade him.
If you think about it carefully, this kid almost single-handedly defeated several important members of the Justice League. In addition, he also left his notorious and cunning grandfather helpless. He led another group into the dangers of hell to seal a multi-dimensional demon king and save the world. .
Regardless of what these "superheroes" have done, this baby son is still a super rich man and a big entrepreneur, and the strength of his company is not much weaker than that of Wayne Group.
If you treat such a person like a child, it is a kind of humiliation in itself. With this child's fierce personality, if you humiliate him, he will definitely retaliate with double the humiliation.
As the leader of the world's number one superhero group, Bruce Wayne is not afraid of his rebellious son Damian trying to get tough with him. Although he knows that his son is very capable of fighting, in the field of combat, even when facing Darkseid, Batman wouldn't have the slightest fear, not to mention that he was facing a mere traitor now.
Bruce has full confidence. In a real fight, no matter how strong the enemy is, Batman will always win in the end.
However, Damian found another way to confront him tit for tat in the business field. Even if Bruce didn't care about money and didn't like to deal with bad money, the thing he regretted most was inheriting the Wayne Group... But considering the hundreds of thousands of Waynes under his command who were eating with him. For the sake of the group's employees, they had to compromise for the time being and were unwilling to engage in a business war with the Bredero Group that would hurt both sides.
