Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao with the Clone Style

Chapter 364: Bruce decides to join the gang
The room was so quiet that it was even a little cold.

A man who said nothing with a heavy face.

And the backs of several people walking away outside the door.

When the Butler put aside his original preventive preparations and rushed back, this was the scene he saw.

After sighing slightly in his heart, he crossed the room and caught up with Olga and her group.

Although he couldn't let Bruce go, as a butler, he should say goodbye to the guests on behalf of the host when it was inconvenient for the host to show up.

This is basic etiquette.

Fortunately, these three people are all young people and they don’t speak endless polite words like those old-timers.

It only took Alfred more than ten minutes to get everyone out of the manor.

Then he rushed back immediately.

When he came back, Bruce was still the same as before he left.

After sending away the maid carrying the tray, Alfred walked quietly into the room.

"If you mind hearing about them, why don't you just join them?"

He said as he put down his plate.

"If you want to obtain intelligence about an organization, the easiest and most direct way is to join them."

"Alfred..."

Young Bruce raised his head and stared blankly at the relative in front of him who had been with him for many years.

He actually knew in his heart that the most important thing he should do now was to catch up with Olga and her group and accept their invitation.

Gain intelligence and improve your strength to deal with possible crises in Gotham's future.

However, this also means completely giving up the agreement with Rachel.

His past experiences have made him who he is today as Batman, and one of the most important parts of that is Rachel.

If Rachel hadn't woken him up, he would probably still be immersed in hatred and wouldn't see tomorrow.

Giving up that agreement would be like cutting off flesh from his heart.

But this is not what makes Bruce even more sad.

But it was the sense of luck that could not be eradicated in his heart no matter what.

What if that was just their rhetoric, what if there was nothing wrong with Gotham...

Although he knew the possibility of this was almost zero, Bruce couldn't help but have such thoughts because of the agreement with his childhood sweetheart.

I would put my childhood sweetheart alone over Gotham to think.

Bruce felt extremely painful when he realized this.

And his pain was also conveyed to Alfred.

Seeing the confusion and pain in Bruce's eyes, Alfred felt distressed from the bottom of his heart.

"If you don't mind, maybe I can share some of your worries."

His voice was soft and had a hint of warmth.

Just like the winter sunshine, it soothes people's hearts unknowingly.

"I just can't find the direction..."

Bruce's voice was so dry that it sounded like he was grinding against stone.

"So, what blinded you?"

Alfred asked quietly.

"Gotham, and Rachel..."

Bruce's voice was weak and a little tired.

He was reluctant to give up his promise to Rachel, but he had to make the decision now.

Gotham, or Rachel.

"Well, why don't you talk to Miss Dawes?"

Alfred knew that Bruce couldn't give up either of these two options.

So why choose between A or B?

"Perhaps there is a way to have the best of both worlds."

"She... doesn't want to."

Bruce shook his head.

In Rachel's view, both the Batman in the dark and the Gotham that relies on Batman are twisted.

——Gotham should rely on the power of light to recover; and Bruce should put down the mask and start a new life.

She couldn't accept this distortion.

"So, let's hand over the responsibility of protecting Gotham to more professional people?"

Alfred came up with another plan.

"That way you can also shift your focus to the group, as they say."

This proposal actually contains some of Alfred's selfish motives.

Every day I watched Bruce not sleeping well at night, going out to fight with gangsters dressed in black, and then coming back with injuries.

This kind of life is really too torturous.

He had dreamed more than once that Bruce met with an accident after going out and never came back.

The despair that spread from the nightmare almost shattered his soul.

It would be great if we could take this opportunity to keep Bruce away from such dangerous nighttime activities.

“I don’t know if I can trust them.”

Bruce buried his face in his hands.

Olga is too mysterious, what if he is not as simple as he seems?
"With all due respect, Master Wayne, trust needs to be cultivated."

Alfred said.

“If you don’t engage with them, then there will never be trust.”

"You mean, I should still accept their invitation?"

Bruce asked, looking up.

"Of course, Master Wayne."

Alfred breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally got out of the dead end.

"Accepting their invitation does not mean that you must choose between Gotham and Miss Dawes. You still have room to consider it."

"Besides, even if you don't accept it, the future crisis will not go away."

If what Olga and the others said was true.

So whether Bruce accepts it or not, he will eventually face more challenges. So why not accept it?
"You're right, Alfu."

Bruce's spirit gradually recovered.

"Can you help me find an opportunity to talk to them again?"

"Of course, Master Wayne."

Alfred said with a smile.

At this moment, his smile was completely from the heart.

With the addition of Tony and Olga, Bruce's equipment level will usher in a qualitative leap and safety will be greatly improved.

Not to mention that Olga had mentioned before that he invited Bruce for scientific research.

Spending more time here, Bruce naturally had less time to go out and wander around.

Alfred was greatly relieved.

"How about holding a private dinner at the manor tonight?"

There was a hint of relaxation in his tone.

"……Can."

Bruce thought for a moment and agreed to this time.

Judging from the efficiency with which they speak, it shouldn't delay my patrol time.

"Then I'll go down and prepare."

Alfred says goodbye to Bruce.

"Sorry to trouble you, Afu."

Bruce closed his eyes after he finished speaking and laid back in his chair.

He looked exhausted and didn't want to talk.

"It's my pleasure."

Alfred quietly left the room and closed the door.

……

When Alfred sent the invitation letter to Olga and others, Olga was arguing with her group members.

Daily: So, why didn’t you fight?
Douluo: I want to see a river of blood.jpg
Type-Moon: I want to watch Iron Man vs. Batman.

Type Moon: Crying.jpg
Daily life: rolling.jpg
Food Wars: Tom Begs.jpg
TV University: That’s enough, how could you possibly start a fight?

Olga's words were full of helplessness.

He went there to recruit people and collect signatures. How could he just come up and beat up Batman?

TV University: And even if a fight really breaks out, there’s nothing to watch.

The enhanced version of Iron Man is fighting against the unprepared rookie Batman, it's like he's going to hang him up and beat him up.

Terra: That’s true.

Type-Moon: But I still want to see them fight.

One is a young star of the new generation. Although he has been famous for a short time, he has great potential.

The other is a veteran actor from the old times, who, despite being framed by villains, remains undeterred from his ambition to rise to the top.

It would be a shame if these two didn't fight when they met.

TVU: Let’s wait until Batman puts on a suit of armor.

TV University: You don’t want to see a one-sided battle, do you?
Not to mention that they didn't want to watch, Tony was also unwilling to fight until Bruce prepared his equipment.

Type-Moon: It’s not impossible actually.

Harley: Tony rubbing Batman on the ground was quite interesting.

Terra: Yeah, I have the script written.

Terra: The fall of a genius, rebuilding the foundation, and encountering a formidable enemy...

Harley: The confrontation between two men of steel has a unique flavor.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the group realized that Harry seemed to be thinking differently from everyone else.

Dragon Clan: Your flavor...

Halle: Ahem, my hand slipped.

Terra: ...

Daily life: Is this the legendary gay England?

Type-Moon: The pollution ability is so terrifying.

Food Wars: I don’t think this has anything to do with Daiying.

Food Wars: At this point, the views of the young girls on the topic of homosexuality are not yet open to that extent.

It was only in later generations that Dai Ying became famous for being gay. At this time in history, we can only say that it is not as general as it was in the past.

Douluo: In other words, she chose to enter this field herself?
Food Wars: That’s right.

Hallie: I already told you it was a slip of the hand, you guys.

Dragon Clan: It doesn’t matter, we are all family and we will not discriminate against you in this regard.

Daily life: Yes, the family members in the group are very tolerant.

Harley: That's enough...

Don't want to be labeled a homosexual because of a slip of the hand.

Food Wars: Hahahaha.

Type Moon: It's just a joke, don't take it seriously.

Douluo: But if you really have such an idea, no one will say anything to you.

Open University: In modern society, gender is free and love is even freer.

Harley: No thanks, I prefer hanging out with girls.

Terra: Almost, almost.

Halle: That's a big difference, okay?
Halle: Come on, let's get down to business.

Harley: Don't you think it's boring to just watch the Joker and the gangsters pull out their guns and shoot each other?

Daily: What do you want the team leader to do?
Halle: I mean, I'm ready for the whole thing.

Douluo:?
Harry: I guess the structure of Voldemort's Servantization Ceremony should be optimized enough to be put into practice.

Harry: I wanted to find a time to do this experiment, but today is the day.

TVU: Are you so fast?
Halle: Most of the stuff was already there, I just put it together.

The only thing that takes time is the accumulation of legends for the Noble Phantasm embryo.

Otherwise she could have gone faster.
