American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 105 Ah, yes, yes!

"you?!!"

Listening to what Downton said, Bruce felt numb all over!

“Even I don’t have armor that can withstand a nuclear blast, damn it!

Not to mention... you actually want nano materials, why don't you want to go to hell and ask Satan if there is still a chance to go to heaven, Donton!!!"

As he spoke, Bruce punched Downton hard in annoyance.

As a result, Downton was fine, but Bruce's wrist was slightly bruised due to excessive force.

Feeling the pain from his wrist, Bruce's teeth were almost broken by himself.

Facing Downton's still shameless eyes, Bruce shook his wrist and continued to speak unhappily.

"Do you know what kind of armor I prepared for myself? Before today, even I only had time to prepare an experimental version of the Army's individual armor that was returned by the Ministry of National Defense to serve as a battle suit.

I was just painting the armor black, and you came over to me with the audacity to ask for nanotechnology!

Where can I get the nanotechnology to put on you? Do you want me to buy Durex right away and make a nanomaterial tt just for you, bastard!"

When he said this, Bruce's eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

As for Downton, he continued to approach Bruce shamelessly and then put his arm around Bruce's shoulders.

"Bruce, please help me, we are friends, right?
You saw it too, I was naked after just a little fight, it was so fucking humiliating!
You don't want to have to swing a big bird at you when you have to deal with me in the future, Bruce!"

“You?…Me?!…Ah?!!”

Bruce was almost defeated by Downton's shamelessness. He covered his face in depression, and then spoke to Downton in a tone as if he wished he could die on the spot.

“I suddenly don’t want to deal with you, man!
What the hell is saving Gotham? I can't save it at all!
Destroy it, really, I suddenly feel so tired! "

"You must be kidding, Bruce, Gotham is your home, even if you don't save Gotham, at least you have to save Alfred!
Stop kidding, I really want to borrow a set of armor from you, at least one that can withstand some attacks.

I don't expect the armor to be more resistant than me, but I really don't want to go into battle naked all the time!
You know my video is going viral across America, but look at the footage of me fighting.

People who know me know me as the new king of Gotham, but people who don't know me will probably just think of me as a rising star in the Holy Valley when they see my videos. I'll do it!"

As he spoke, Downton simply hung himself on Bruce.

"Please help me, Bruce. How about shifting your research direction a little bit to mechanical armor?
You can research a powerful set of armor for yourself, and then give me a basic set of armor that only has defense!
As a reward, I can cooperate with you in a few performances in the future, such as being defeated by you in public, or being sent to jail by you when I am at the peak of my popularity.

I cooperate with your performance and you meet my needs, isn't this reasonable? "

"That's not reasonable, Downton!"

After hearing this, Bruce couldn't bear it anymore. He gritted his teeth and pushed Downton towards the elevator.

While pretending to struggle, Downton continued to persuade Bruce on the way to the elevator.

"If you don't like the above compensation, how about I change it?
As long as you get me a suitable battle suit that matches my temperament, I can give in for you a few times.

For example, when I wanted to blow up the White House, you came and found me, and then you could use your favor to make me give up the idea of ​​blowing up the White House!

This is my greatest sacrifice, you have to seize the opportunity, Bruce!"

"fart!!!"

Bruce couldn't help but interrupt him before Donton finished speaking.

"Your thoughts can grow every day. Treating thoughts as rewards is simply a way to get something for nothing!
And it was only a few times. You might have wanted to blow up the White House one second, and then I just convinced you, and you immediately wanted to blow up my Wayne Tower!

Don't tell me you won't do this, do you think I'm a fool, Donton!"

Having said that, Bruce finally pushed Downton into the elevator and started it.

But just as the elevator was about to go up, Downton suddenly squeezed half of his body out of the elevator, which had not yet been completely closed, and then asked Bruce.

"What happened to Geralt? Who tricked him?"

"Damn it, do you think I haven't played The Witcher 3? Even though my childhood was short, I still had a childhood, asshole!!!"

Bruce kicked the elevator hard and finally sent half of Downton's body back.

As the elevator gradually started to move, Downton completely disappeared from the institute.

Meanwhile, Lucius came up behind Bruce in front of the elevator.

Looking at the shadow of Downton, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"I've never met anyone like him, and this is the first time I've ever... sincerely envied a bastard."

"Yes."

Hearing Lucius' words, Bruce responded without turning his head.

"Who wouldn't envy his carefree and happy nature? It seems his personality model needs to be changed. He is indeed a trouble, but he is not just a trouble. Even though he has all the qualities to become a villain, he still has a lot of innocence in his heart.

Walking into the darkness but not being swallowed by it, it even swallows up a considerable amount of the darkness and repaints that part with its own color!

The dead, Downton...

I suddenly realized that maybe he and I are really suitable to be friends. "

After he finished speaking, Bruce took a deep breath, then turned around and walked towards the experimental table.

"Don't waste any more time, Lucius, there are more experiments waiting for us.

With the experimental materials sent to us by Tang himself, we can now test any element known on Earth on Tang's fingers to see if there is any element that can truly destroy him."

After he finished speaking, Bruce quickly put Downton's finger into the test dish, and then went to the computer to look for more information.

Soon after, while Lucius was analyzing Downton's muscles, nerves, and bone matter, he couldn't help but glance at what was on Bruce's computer.

After a glance, Lucius couldn't help coughing, and then asked softly.

"Bruce, isn't our main goal to expel or even destroy Downton?

So, why are you really doing mechanical dynamics analysis?"

……

Lucius' words plunged the entire laboratory into silence, and Bruce slowly raised his head in the silence, looking at Lucius with his cold eyes.

Meeting Bruce's gaze, Lucius swallowed hard.

"Young man, don't look at me like that, the way you look at me almost brings me back to the days after World War II.

You also know that I am a Ni Ge, so everyone in that era looked at me the same way as you.

Except for your parents, they are truly good people. Without their strong support, a black man like me would not be qualified to make a name for myself in the highest fields of humanity, such as physics and mathematics.

Even my Nobel Prize was managed by Thomas for me. I really miss it when I think about it, ah..."

Having said that, Lucius smiled deeply, then retrieved more information from his computer and transferred it to Bruce's computer.

Bruce was slightly stunned when he saw the countless materials that suddenly appeared.

"This is……?"

"Yes, this is the reference material I used when I was developing individual armor. It also includes the basic design drawings of the armor and the upgrade direction I planned."

As Lucius explained, the nostalgia in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

I saw him leaning his hands on the lab table, looking into the distance at the light above his head, and continuing to speak with nostalgia.

“Thinking back on that time, it was really interesting. At that time when all Americans could not accept me as a Ni Ge scholar, Thomas resolutely stood by my side.

I was so grateful for his help that I even considered him my master.

You know, not long before that period, most of us Ni brothers still had our own masters.

But Thomas solemnly told me that he had never been a master, he and I were just friends!

When I heard the word "friend" from his mouth, my heart trembled.

So I couldn't help but ask him why a top white guy like him would want to make friends with a black guy like me who is hated by everyone.

Having a friend like me would make him a laughing stock in the entire upper society and would also reduce the influence of the Wayne family.

But what do you think Thomas said? "

Having said that, Lucius smiled and moved closer to Bruce, then gently touched Bruce's heart.

He continued to speak to Bruce.

"He said he cared more about his heart."

After he finished speaking, Lucius stopped talking and continued to study Donton's fingers.

As for Bruce, after a long silence, he finally raised his head and spoke to Lucius.

"It's impossible for me to be friends with a criminal. Everything I did was just to get closer to him and find more ways to defeat him!

Before I have the ability to defeat him completely, becoming his friend in name only may be the only way to hope to stop him!
Everything I did was just what a rational person should do!"

After saying that, Bruce looked at Lucius stubbornly.

Facing Bruce's determined gaze, Lucius nodded and then smiled.

"Ah, yes, yes."
