Chapter 75 Darkest Night
When Batman dragged the two tiredly back to the Batcave, Alfred was already waiting for him.

"Master, the noise you made while fighting was quite loud."

Alfred said as he stepped forward to take the unconscious Dick Grayson from Batman's shoulders, placed the boy on the prepared bed, and immediately began to examine him.

Batman threw the Night Owl who was tied up by him aside, sat tiredly in front of the central computer, not wanting to move even a finger.

The Night Owl's armor has the function of flying. When fighting with the opponent, they also use their grappling claws to entangle each other, making the scope of this battlefield exceptionally wide.

The two first came to the sea surface from the groundwater, and then from the sea surface to the city, and together they crashed into the Wayne Building, almost demolishing an entire floor of the building.

Not satisfied yet, Night Owl took Batman and flew above the clouds, intending to throw him into the engine of a passing plane.

Fortunately, before he could do anything, Batman had removed the propulsion device on one side of his leg, causing the opponent's lift to be unbalanced, and he was eventually forced to land in an abandoned orphanage.

There, they faced off for the final time.

Night Owl has used up all the weapons in his armor, and Batman has used up all of his sticky bombs and dart bombs.

When both sides have exhausted their equipment... Batman, who has mastered the true energy, is still the winner.

Afterwards, he captured Night Owl and returned to the underground maze to bring out the unconscious Dick. Only then did tonight's events finally come to an end.

In one night, starting from when Du Mu said that the city was poisonous, the entire Court of Owls was wiped out. Bruce was exhausted both physically and mentally.

But he did not take off his bat mask. He forced himself to cheer up, squeezed out his physical strength beyond his limit, and began to check the central computer of the Batcave.

At this moment, Night Owl, who was knocked unconscious by Batman, woke up from his coma.

He looked at the surroundings, and the face under the mask couldn't help but sneer: "Is this your Batcave? It looks so simple, as if a disabled person from the last century put on modern prosthetic limbs. Didn't you take the time to repair it?"

The buildings in the Batcave were first built by the ancestors of the Wayne family and were mainly used during the Civil War.

During the months that Bruce was Batman, it was impossible for him to hire workers. He did everything himself, adding mechanized equipment and expanding on the previous foundation with modern materials.

But in fact it is just a prototype, with only two platforms and a few rooms.

A large number of facilities that have not yet been completed and are left halfway made the Bat Cave look even more rudimentary.

Batman paid no attention to Night Owl's words. He was carefully looking through the new content in the central computer, and his body began to stiffen.

Seeing that Batman ignored him, Night Owl shouted to Alfred next to him: "Hey, butler over there, do you know me? My name is Thomas Wayne Jr., Bruce's younger brother. You should know of my existence."

Alfred was shocked and looked at Night Owl in disbelief.

When Night Owl saw Alfred's reaction, he immediately became more excited than him and almost jumped up.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Did you see it?! Bruce! I said I was telling the truth! Your butler knows my existence! And in order to monopolize the Wayne Group! You don't even recognize me, your own brother! Uh ah ah——"

The last words had become a tremor, and electricity was flickering throughout my body.

Batman pressed the switch in his hand again, stopped electrocuting Night Owl, and said to Alfred in a deep voice: "I know I do have a younger brother, who was born when I was three years old. Ever since I heard the name Thomas Wayne Jr., I started looking through the information on my way to find Dick."

"When I was three years old, I was in a car accident. My brother was born prematurely and his nervous system was damaged. Even if he survived, he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life."

"And then, within twelve hours, he stopped breathing."

Alfred showed a complicated expression.

Of course he knew about this.

That's why he was so surprised to hear the name Thomas Wayne Jr.

Night Owl gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Then a week later, an unknown baby was sent to an orphanage, and your mother often visited..."

"In fact, my mother visited every orphan in the orphanage frequently, and your record is not outstanding."

Batman flipped through the videos in the central computer and said in an increasingly cold tone, "The timing is just a coincidence. Three babies were admitted that month alone. It's just that yours was the closest to my brother's death, so the Court of Owls chose you and made you mistakenly believe that you were really my brother."

Night Owl's voice was almost hysterical: "This is impossible! What evidence do you have?! That's just Bowers' one-sided statement. He just slandered me to drag me down!"

Batman looked back at him and said in a cold tone: "Evidence is of no importance at all. I captured you alive, that's enough. Next, I will verify your DNA. If you really believe that you are my brother, you'd better not resist this." Hearing this, Night Owl finally stopped talking and no longer spoke.

Because he was wearing an owl armor mask, no one could see the complex expression beneath his mask.

DNA...Yes, DNA, why have I never thought of this?

As long as the DNA is verified, Bruce Wayne will no longer be able to deny that at least half of the Wayne Group belongs to me.

Now that the Court of Owls has been almost wiped out, I have become the highest-ranking owl there. After that, if I get half of Wayne's property, the entire Gotham will be in my pocket.

All of this will be within reach once the DNA is verified...

but.

Night Owl suddenly said, "Claw, kill Batman!"

Dick Grayson on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, roared, and rushed towards Batman.

Alfred tried to stop him, but Dick's skills as a talented acrobat and his reckless rush without regard for his own safety or injury helped him break free from the old butler's hand.

At the same time, Night Owl's arms suddenly ejected blades, cutting off the electric net that bound Batman, and he also rushed towards Batman.

"But you, a despicable person, will definitely falsify the DNA results!"

Batman sat in front of the central computer, ignoring the Night Owl that rushed over, and looked at Dick who suddenly woke up.

The next moment, Dick, who rushed out, was pinned to the ground by the old butler with a backhand. However, he was still roaring and struggling, which made Alfred unable to bear it and he could only look away.

Batman forced himself to look at the teen.

Looking at the other person's crazy appearance and the blood on his cheek from rubbing against the ground, he felt a chill run through his whole body.

Or... is it too late?

The night owl, ignored by everyone, fell to the ground with a clang.

A foot stepped on his back.

Du Mu put the heavy drawstring bag on his back, looked at Dick who was out of control, frowned and asked: "Have you been brainwashed?"

Batman didn't even bother to pause the recording that had already started playing in his headphones. He walked step by step to the frantic Dick and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"I didn't have time to save you."

Dick's movements seemed to ease a little.

Batman noticed that Dick's eyes seemed to have regained some of their confusion, and physiological tears flowed out, mixing with the blood on the ground.

Batman perked up. He immediately lay down, put his chin full of tired stubble close to Dick's ear, and kept encouraging him: "You can do it! Dick! You are a strong boy, you can resist this force!"

Seeing this, Alfred couldn't help but loosen his grip on Dick's hands slightly.

Dick didn't continue to go crazy, but he didn't stand up either, nor did he even look at Batman. He just lay on the ground.

When Night Owl saw this scene, he couldn't help but sneer.

Then he whispered, "Claw, kill Batman."

In an instant, Dick, who had calmed down, jumped up again, even knocking over the slack Alfred, roaring again and rushing towards Batman!

Batman's heart immediately sank.

He even allowed Dick Grayson to knock him down, scratching his exposed chin and leaving several wounds. He was so exhausted both physically and mentally that he didn't have the strength to resist.

He only felt that the scene in front of his eyes was getting darker and darker... The moonlight that used to shine through outside the bat cave had completely disappeared.

This is the darkest moment when the night has faded away and the dawn has not yet arrived.
