American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 387 Three Dozen Little Peppers

“Well, I really want to know which young people you are optimistic about. After all, in the 21st century, the importance of talent is unquestionable.

But at the end of the day, haha, I'm just glad that an old guy like me still has the opportunity to step onto the Gotham stage again.

I agree, Revenant, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for long.

My cancer is quite serious and has begun to metastasize. I have no more than half a year to live.

So, I can probably only help you for three or four months to sort out every aspect of Gotham City for you.

It's all I can do to determine how the Dead will operate in the future and establish a new class structure for Gotham."

As Carmine spoke, he grabbed Donton's right hand and shook it up and down heavily.

Looking at the Romans who looked a little regretful but had obviously regained their motivation and meaning in life, Donton nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, with you here to help, I won't have to worry about the Ghost Party causing trouble anymore.

But do you want to just work for half a year and then leave?
Bullshit, do you miss your mom? Do you want to run away?
I will let Bruce, Lex and others focus some of their attention on your condition.

Although cancer is troublesome, death is not absolute. I will not allow you to die, and Lucifer will never see you again!

Even if science can't cure you, I still have theology and magic to help you!
Lao Deng, your life is the salary I pay you.

So, don’t expect any other reward!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton patted Carmine on the shoulder, and before Carmine could react, he and Donton disappeared into the ward together.

Looking at the suddenly changing scenery, the panda and the polar bear fighting each other, and Selina trying to separate the two fights.

Carmine's mouth opened involuntarily, and then he said something with emotion.

"Your ability... is really convenient."

"Yes, all my abilities are to facilitate my life.

Whether it's convenient for me to kill people or find people, haha~"

Donton patted Carmine's shoulder with a smile, then walked towards Selina who was struggling with the bears.

Selina was seen grabbing a panda's fur tightly, dragging it and shouting into the distance.

“Damn it, come help, these bears are going crazy!

Why did Tang bring back a bunch of polar bears? They are much more ferocious than pandas!

Come and help!!!"

"All right……"

In the distance, Gu Ziyun agreed and then trotted over.

She raised her hands, hugged the white bear father, and threw him away.

Then she punched the violent panda, but she couldn't bear to do it before her fist landed on the panda's face.

So, after patting the panda's head gently, Gu Ziyun turned around again and slapped the confused white bear mother hard in the face.

White Bear’s mom was confused, so I was really picked up, right?

Dad, Mom, you gave me the wrong fur color, the wrong color!!!
At the same time, Donton came behind Selena and raised his hand to grab Selena's waist.

"Tsk tsk, ma'am, you are quite strong.

And before I left, you were still lying in bed and refusing to get up. How come you were so energetic to come out and play when I was away for just a short while?

Are you avoiding me?"

"Uh……"

After listening to what Donton said, Selina kicked him on the calf in annoyance.

"You're causing too much trouble, sir, so of course I have to stay away from you!

You should know what your physique is like. In order to deal with you, I almost have to think of ways to strengthen my body!"

After complaining, Selina smiled and threw herself into Donton's arms and gave him a passionate kiss.

After their lips parted, Selina squinted her eyes and was about to say something, but then she saw Carmine with a serious look in the distance!

At this moment, Selina's whole body tensed up. She pushed Donton away and rushed towards Carmine.

She yelled at Carmine as she sprinted away.

“How the hell dare you come back to this city!
You just want to die here, don’t you, bastard!!!”

"Uh……"

Listening to his daughter's scolding, Carmine smiled and shrugged.

"Selena..."

"Don't call me by my name, you don't deserve it, asshole!"

Selina interrupted Carmine, rushed to him, and punched him hard in the face which had not yet healed.

boom! ! !
Carmine was blasted backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hiss... it hurts, kid..."

Carmine rubbed his face with his right hand, and blood immediately covered his palm.

But he was not angry. Instead, he looked at her with a loving look that made Selena feel extremely sick!
Facing Carmine's gaze, Selina took a deep breath and then cursed.

"Stop being fake, asshole, and stand up!"

"Yeah, it's hypocritical, that's how I feel to everyone, and I don't need their or your understanding.

As for now, haha, it is the dead souls who invited me back to this city to compose an order for the dead souls for the dark night of Gotham.

Selina, since you don't like me, just treat me as a subordinate, or even a servant, because this is my position to the dead souls.

Hatred...Haha, do you remember what I taught you when you were a child?
Hatred may be meaningful, but hatred must always bow to greater interests and greater powers.

So, respect the decision of the dead, Selina."

Carmine said this, and then he climbed up with his hands on the ground.

After patting his pants, he made a gesture to Donton from a distance, saying "you figure out a solution."

Donton nodded slightly, then came to Selina's side and took Selina's hand with a smile.

"The old man is dying, ma'am, don't you want to see how utterly battered he is by cancer?
Don't you hate him? What else can make you feel more relieved than watching him linger on?
Okay, don’t be angry, and don’t bother with this old man.

I brought this old man back to work, not to let him die here immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton slapped Selina on the butt.

Selina's buttocks trembled and she frowned tightly.

"I see."

She nodded, then simply ignored Carmine's presence and walked towards the castle in the distance.

At the same time, inside the castle, Victor trotted up to Carmine and nodded to him.

"Bo...uh, Carmine, long time no see."

He greeted her thoughtfully, earning a gentle smile from Carmine.

"Not that long, Victor, but for me these two weeks have certainly seemed like a lifetime."

After exchanging polite words, Carmine turned to Donton and asked.

"Tang, can I go to work now?

To be honest, I'm a little bit looking forward to it. After all, before I left Gotham, I never dared to expect a Gotham without Owl!
You know, I really want to see what Gotham looks like now!
So, I'm going back to the Iceberg Club with Victor, what do you think? "

"Well, go ahead and take up the work, old man."

Donton waved to Carmine and Victor, and the two immediately left the manor and drove towards the Iceberg Club in a Rolls-Royce.

After they left, Gu Ziyun came to Donton with an expressionless face and spoke softly.

"Your wife looks angry."

“She has reason to be angry, and she won’t be angry for long.

After all, Old Deng is his father. When Old Deng really dies, Selina will have a new choice. "As Donton said this, he raised his hand and put his arm around Gu Ziyun's shoulders.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me about yourself. How did you sleep last night?"

“I slept so soundly that I couldn’t even hear you and the ladies tossing and turning.

But I am confused about what kind of job I should do and I have no direction. "

Gu Ziyun responded and then looked at the polar bear and panda that were still confronting each other in the distance.

After one look, she couldn't help but let out a genuine smile, then asked.

“Will my future job be to deal with those animals in the manor?

If so, then the animals here are not fierce enough. If I want to have some fun, there should be enough lions and tigers, or leopards."

"Okay, I'll expand the animal area later and find more work for you.

As for your current job, uh... I'm usually too lazy to take care of it, so just stay at home and see if anyone needs help, then go ahead and lend a hand.

On the one hand, the Romans are reorganizing the gangs, and there will surely be a need for killings, and you are a professional in this area.

On the other hand, if you have time, I will occasionally take you to other worlds, and you have to learn to be a supporting actor."

"Huh? A supporting role?"

Gu Ziyun's eyes widened at what Donton said.

Looking at the confused Gu Ziyun, Donton raised his hand and rubbed her butt.

While Gu Ziyun was blushing uncontrollably, Donton patted her little butt again and laughed.

"I'm just kidding. You don't have to really learn it. It's just these things. Just do it after you think about it."

"I see. So you are basically supporting me, right?"

Gu Ziyun gave Donton a cold look, then returned to the panda and polar bear with an innocent smile on his face.

At the same time, in the spaceship parked in the forest outside the manor.

Bruce, Lex and Clark walked out together.

Soon after, the three of them returned to Donton on the recliner.

Lex plopped down on the recliner next to him and picked up a drink.

After taking two sips to relieve his fatigue, he asked Donton.

"Anything else? If not, when do we leave?"

"There's nothing else to do, let's go now!"

Donton stood up quickly and rubbed his hands with a smile.

At the same time, he continued with a wicked smile on his face.

"It's time for us to give Tony Stark some of Gotham F4's top-level shocks!"

……

On the other hand, in the Marvel Universe, in the Stark Group building in Manhattan, New York City.

Looking at the building under repair, Tony, wearing a navy blue striped suit, crossed his arms over his chest and remained silent.

Beside him, Pepper pursed her lips and spoke.

"Tony, that guy hasn't been around for over a week.

So, do you think he's up to something, some dangerous scheme?"

At this point, Pepper looked around nervously, and her buttocks instinctively clamped.

Being spanked on the buttocks by Downton in front of Tony for three consecutive days almost left her with a psychological trauma.

Indeed, in her relationship with Tony, she has always been the dominant one, and Tony loves her to death.

But doesn't she just like Tony?
How can it be!

Even though Tony was a playboy, he had to change more than one cover girl every night.

Even though every time Tony did something fun, she would personally uncover the blankets of those bitches and throw these garbage out of Tony's house.

Despite all these things, Pepper never thought of leaving Tony, and because she knew Tony very well, she was sure that he still loved her deeply.

But this situation changed after Downton appeared, along with the bastard Downton.

Now Pepper is really worried that she will continue to be insulted by Downton in more outrageous ways, until she is insulted enough to make Tony decide to leave her!

On the side, Tony clearly felt Pepper's nervousness.

But Tony felt that he understood Pepper very well. After all, even he was worried about seeing Donton's sour face again.

So he took a deep breath, and then shook his head heavily as if he was getting rid of a burden.

“God knows where that bastard is hiding, even I can’t understand the thoughts of a madman.

That guy has only been around for a short time, but he has kidnapped the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. and robbed the entire Wakanda.

He stopped the New York crisis and intercepted the nuclear bomb. He came like a hero, but also like the most jerkish villain, taking at least thousands of lives.

Although his disappearance made the whole world uneasy.

But to be honest, the week he didn't show up was actually the week I felt most at ease in recent times.

If possible, it would be best if this bastard never shows up again!

Didn't he disappear with a lot of vibranium? I hope he studies vibranium till he's old."

At this point, Tony showed an envious expression on his face.

Damn, he also wanted a mountain of vibranium!

If he could upgrade the entire suit of armor to vibranium, he could even beat Hulk and Thor to the ground!
He is Iron Man, how could he not like the best steel in the world!

And just when Tony was hiding at home, envious and jealous of Downton.

brush……

A flash of fire suddenly appeared on the rooftop of an old building in New York.

Yes, of course they are Gotham F4.

As soon as he landed, Bruce looked around vigilantly.

But before he could see his surroundings clearly, his eyes fell on a bald woman not far away.

The woman had a gentle face and deep eyes. She had her hands behind her back and was wearing a light yellow wizard robe.

"She is...waiting for us?"

Bruce couldn't help but move closer to Donton and ask.

"Have you contacted her before we came here? Why does she seem to know that we would be here?
Also, who is she? She doesn’t look like an ordinary character!”

"Ha, let me introduce you to each other."

Donton smiled and patted Bruce on the shoulder, then stepped out of the crowd, came to Ancient One and nodded to him.

"Master Ancient One, these three old guys are my friends, Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor and Clark Kent."

He first introduced the members of Gotham F4, then turned back and continued speaking to his own people.

"And, guys, this smart lady with a hairless head is the famous guardian of the Earth, the second generation Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One!"

"What?!!"

Clark's eyes widened when he heard this.

He carefully leaned close to Donton's ear and asked in the quietest voice possible.

“Don’t lie to me, Tang, I’ve read the comics!

Master Ancient One is clearly an old man with a beard!"
