Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao with the Clone Style

Chapter 362, Invitation

"Hahaha--"

Bruce laughed wildly, as if he had heard some terrible joke.

After laughing, he covered his stomach with one hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the other.

"I was wondering what you were going to say, but I didn't expect you to think I would be the law-breaking vigilante who plays hide-and-seek with the gang. I have to say, you do have a talent for telling jokes."

While speaking, Bruce smiled from time to time.

It's like he wants to stop but can't.

Tony didn't reply.

He silently took out his mobile phone and turned on the projection function.

The projection on the left was accidentally captured by a Gotham citizen, showing the Batmobile running rampant in Gotham.

The projection on the right is the design drawing of the Batmobile prototype, with a large Wayne Group logo drawn on it.

And then he just stared at Bruce Wayne.

Smile, give me another smile.

Although Tony didn't say anything, Olga had a feeling he meant it.

"I see. No wonder you guys are suspicious of me."

Bruce's smile faded a little.

"But that Batman is really not me. Someone in the group must have stolen the prototype and sold it secretly."

He looked as if there was a traitor in the group.

"You know, I have only been officially managing the family business for less than three years, and my ability to control the group is not strong."

After saying that, Bruce sighed.

It reveals a lingering sense of regret and loss, as if it were real.

"And to tell the truth, my friend, you think too highly of human nature."

After the regret on his face faded, Bruce spoke to Tony seriously.

"Not all second-generation rich people are like you, with an extraordinary passion for helping others. For people like us, if we don't commit crimes, we are considered well disciplined by our families."

He behaved like a self-aware dandy.

"Although I admire people like you, it's really too much to ask me to spend my time and energy to provide free services to others."

"Yeah, you're right, but what is the Batcave?"

Tony came up with another plan.

This is a transformation plan for the underground base, which is used to house various equipment and support Batman's operations.

Compared to Batman's other bases, there's nothing special about it.

The only problem is that this base is located in Wayne Manor.

By the way, after Tony tinkered with it for a while, he also released a video of the construction.

Olga estimated that this should be the Batcave that Robin found at the end of the last part of the trilogy.

I didn't expect that it had been almost completed by the time of the second movie.

But think about it, only by taking advantage of the opportunity of rebuilding Wayne Manor can the traces of construction be covered up.

Without this cover, the large truck carrying the materials might have been exposed as soon as it drove in.

"..."

Bruce looked at Tony in silence.

Now I really don’t know how to defend myself.

"Okay, I admit it, I am Batman."

In the end, Bruce chose to admit it.

His face returned to its usual calm state, without any of the rich emotions just now.

"I thought you were going to keep talking for a while longer."

Tony casually flipped through his phone.

He still has a lot of information he got from Wayne Group.

"What's the point in arguing anymore?"

Bruce asked back.

If we can find two pieces of evidence, there must be a third one. No matter how much you try to argue, it will be useless.

"It really doesn't make any sense."

Tony put his phone away.

"Since you know it's me, feel free to tell me what you think."

Bruce leaned back in his chair and spoke in a seemingly casual but actually cautious tone.

"Didn't I already say that? I just came to see you, Batman."

Tony leaned back in his chair as well.

But compared to Bruce, he was really casual at this moment.

Our father is here, what is there to worry about?
"Look at me?"

Bruce frowned slightly.

He didn't quite understand what was so good about himself.

In terms of wealth, Stark Industries now has new energy support and the right to distribute alien remains, which makes it stronger than Wayne Group.

In terms of equipment, I am far behind this guy who makes exoskeleton armor by hand.

"I know you are confused and may even think I have other plans, so why not put it another way?"

Tony sat up slightly straighter.

"For my part, I don't think you have any value worth pursuing."

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is true.

At least that's what Batman himself thinks.

"If I have to say the purpose, it's probably to remind you that it's impossible to hide in the dark forever."

Tony added.

Especially guys like them who rely on equipment and logistical support.

He is fine as he has an exoskeleton armor, so the demand for various bases and safe houses is not high.

But not this Batman.

At least at this stage, he cannot get rid of the need for bases and safe houses that can provide logistical services.

And all these things require manpower to build.

But once someone gets access to a secret, it will eventually be leaked.

"I know." Bruce's eyes were vague, as if he was thinking about something.
Tony thought he was thinking about the future.

But this is not the case.

During this period, Batman was thinking about finding a Knight of Light to replace him in protecting Gotham City.

As for his purpose, besides realizing his own shortcomings as a vigilante operating in the dark, Bruce also wants to retire.

Well, I want to live with my childhood sweetheart Rachel after retirement.

Of course, friends who have seen the movie should all know that Batman’s dream failed.

The first is that the Joker got his childhood sweetheart killed late in the second movie.

This not only caused Bruce to lose someone to fly with, but also further ruined his retirement plan.

Of course, even if retirement is successful, this dream will fail.

Because his childhood sweetheart has decided to run away with someone else.

However, after the director killed the old man's childhood sweetheart, he gave him a Catwoman in the third film.

This allowed the master of the Dark Knight Trilogy to, in a sense, fulfill his dream of living together with someone else after retirement.

Of course, if this were this world, the master would probably have to work overtime for the rest of his life.

After all, excluding the major villains in DC films, there are also Marvel's and some other villains that are not in superhero movies.

It would be strange if he could retire peacefully.

"Okay, let's stop chatting here."

Tony spoke up, interrupting Bruce's thoughts.

"?"

Bruce showed some confusion on his face.

Is this the end of the small talk? Do you think we should get down to business?
Didn't you just say it was okay?
"I don't really have anything to do with you, but the trip was not arranged by me."

Tony saw through Bruce's confusion.

Or maybe he was just teasing this young-looking senior on purpose.

"Hey, Captain, come over to work."

Tony looked to his side.

A figure suddenly appeared in this place that seemed empty to Bruce.

Olga, who had been sitting motionless in her seat, slowly disappeared.

"!?"

A look of surprise crossed Bruce's face.

Does it seem like optical camouflage is now practical?

Then he turned to look at Tony.

"How did you see through it?"

He kept looking at Tony and didn't notice what props he used from beginning to end.

How does this see through invisibility?
"He's only invisible to you."

Tony said it wasn't my fault.

"In my sight, he stood up openly, then stood aside and took pictures with his camera."

"Targeted invisibility?"

Bruce gasped.

Simple optical invisibility is nothing big, and the Wayne Group already has experimental related technology.

But this kind of invisibility against a certain person is totally beyond the reach of normal technology, right?

Or is it that current technology has already achieved this level?
"Don't ask me how he did it. I don't know."

Tony spread his hands.

A prophet who can selectively view different worlds (planets), God knows how much he has in his hands.

"Don't worry, I just used some psychic skills."

Seeing the frightened young master, Olga kindly explained.

What humans see is determined by the light that enters their eyes.

Olga, who was already able to manipulate light, simply slightly adjusted the light entering the master's eyes.

"superpower?"

Bruce, who had never seen a fantasy character before, looked a little confused.

"The kind that you can bend spoons without using your hands?"

"more or less."

Olga moved her fingers slightly.

A ray of light flew in from the window and wrapped around it directly, like a ribbon.

"That's amazing."

Bruce circled Olga twice, observing the light strip in his hand from left to right.

On the way, I even tried to reach out and touch it.

However, the light, which was supposed to have no substance, actually had a jelly-like feel at this moment.

Not only him, Tony and Dr. Banner also came over to watch the new abilities Olga demonstrated.

"Okay, let's pause for the scientific exploration activities."

Olga dispersed the light strips casually, leaving the three people with slightly regretful expressions.

"First things first, I took some pictures of the two of you for my collection."

Olga showed them her camera.

The first meeting between Batman and Iron Man is worth taking a photo.

"Oh."

Bruce's expression was calm.

Paparazzi often took pictures of him as material for gossip, and they never paid him.

Now Olga has shown him new tricks, so what’s the big deal about taking two photos?

"If you don't mind, I'll keep it."

Olga looked at the two of them.

After making sure that the two had no objection, he put the camera into the space.

Under Bruce's horrified gaze.

Olga ignored Bruce's gaze and continued:
"The second thing is, do you want to join us?"
