Chapter 378: Not a Prince, Not Revenge (Please subscribe, read, comment on monthly tickets)

"It seems like your conversation didn't go very well?"

Shortly after Clark and Barry left, Bruce walked out from the shadows.

It seems that he has not left and has been waiting by the side.

"Choosing sides is never easy, and even Clark is a Kryptonian."

Martin spotted Bruce the moment the curtain fell. Although he was very clever in hiding himself, he could not escape the magic's detection.

"Why are you squatting here if you're not going to look for Diana and Arthur?"

"There's no need to persuade the two of them, so I turned back halfway and wanted to say a few words to help you. Unexpectedly, you used magic to separate the space, so my good intentions were wasted."

Bruce made a little joke, trying to make Martin less nervous.

"It's better to stay. I thought the matter between Diana and Arthur was simple before."

After Martin and Clark finished talking, they found that there were some flaws in their plan.

"Diana and Arthur will certainly support us, but the Amazons and Amatlanteans? Are they willing to change their way of life that has lasted for thousands of years and join human society in a way of peaceful coexistence?"

Amazons and Atlanteans are not Indians. The war potential of these two races is no less than any major power on earth.

And through some mysterious or other means, they are able to fully realize this potential in war.

In other words, once the war begins, the Amazons or Atlanteans can at least drag the entire human society towards destruction.

"What you really worry about is that some politicians don't care about the risk of world destruction at all. They just want to protect their own interests."

Bruce does not have any feelings for the United States like Clark and Barry. As a true bourgeois, he knows very well that the continuation of the community is to ensure the greatest interests of a group.

The tycoons on Wall Street are willing to support the United States in maintaining its position as a global hegemon because this country can provide a body for their financial expansion.

If one day this country can no longer provide military support for the bourgeoisie, the tycoons on Wall Street will not talk about the country and the nation.

If the bastards in the White House always stick to narrow principles and do everything for the interests of their small groups, he will not show mercy.

"You often deal with those people, so you have to give me a judgment on this matter. Is it likely that they will do this?"

Martin threw the question back, and Bruce answered without hesitation: "Of course, if there is even a possibility that those guys in the White House will not do this, I will not join the Justice League. Do you know how idealistic the Justice League's proposition is? If we hadn't experienced so much together before this, I would just think you are a lunatic."

"That's really hurtful."

Martin covered his heart and pretended to be hurt.

Bruce was unmoved: "Your acting is so fake."

Martin was exposed, but he was not angry. He smiled and said, "Slogans have to be bold and clear to express one's position. Besides, my propositions are very realistic, at least better than those bastards under the banner of neoliberalism."

"Okay, although I agree with these views, at least I still have my American citizenship, so you should keep it to yourself!"

Bruce shook his head. He still had a lot of affection for ordinary Americans, otherwise there would be no need for him to be Batman for ten years.

Martin smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

The biggest difference between Bruce and other tycoons is that he is more like a human being.

Although Batman is generally seen as a symbol of ruthlessness, a cold statue that never gets tired, as if positive human emotions will never appear in the Dark Knight.

But the fact is just the opposite. Both Bruce and Batman have great enthusiasm in their hearts to change the circumstances of those people and create a better life.

He devoted himself so completely to this ideal that in the eyes of others, he became inhuman.

But in fact, those who enjoy all the fruits of modern civilization but only want to control others for fun are the real beasts.

All you think about every day is what to eat or what kind of woman or man to do. What’s the difference between you and a beast?

"We've strayed off topic, let's get back to the topic!"

Bruce was not a man well versed in theory, so he did not want to continue debating with Martin about something on which they had already reached consensus.

"What exactly are your plans regarding the Amazons and Atlanteans?"

"The key to connecting them is Diana and Arthur, but whether it will succeed depends on the opposition within these two races."

This is the second thing Martin is worried about. There must be people in human society who want to take advantage of this matter, and Paradise Island and Atlantis will not fully agree with this.

The situation on Paradise Island was not bad. Diana was not only a princess but also a demigod, the only heir to the throne. As long as Diana insisted, even if there were objections within Paradise, they would eventually be suppressed in a controllable way.

“Diana and her mother have absolute authority in Paradise Island. As long as we come up with a reasonable plan, we can resolve internal disputes by any means.

But the situation in Atlantis is completely different. Given Arthur's attitude and the current situation of the underwater kingdom, it is impossible for the underwater kingdom to have the idea of integrating into human society without a war."

"war!"

Bruce immediately realized the problem. He was silent for a minute, then said decisively: "We must end this war before the person in charge of Atlantis is exposed, and ensure that Arthur or the underwater people who support Arthur have the upper hand."

Bruce is a planning genius. Although he doesn't know much about the information on the seabed, he immediately realized the key to this war.

"Yes, timing, timing is the key to everything."

Martin is not afraid of war just like Bruce: "Last time I asked Arthur to spare Orm's life. Besides not wanting them to kill each other, I also wanted Orm to maintain the political stability of the seabed and stop him from thinking about invading the land."

"You have done a very successful job. So far, the Alliance has taken the initiative to send probes to the bottom of the sea, and no trace of the underwater people has been found."

Bruce's brain was working rapidly, integrating the relevant information together.

Atlantis and the Kingdom of Zebel, the Kingdom of Fishermen and the Kingdom of Saltwater, the struggle between the new king and the old king in the Kingdom of Atlantis...

"If Arthur agrees to stage this story of prince's revenge, we can't interfere, otherwise it will easily evolve into hatred between the underwater people and the land people."

Bruce was very troubled by this and was worried about Arthur.

If Arthur is unwilling to return to Atlantis and allow Haidilao to come into contact with human society, a fight will definitely break out when they meet for the first time.

If Arthur is willing to go back, the situation will not be much better. Before he gains the upper hand, the Justice League cannot even provide him with overt support, but resources on land are nothing in the sea.

Whether to move forward or backward, Arthur and the Justice League face a very difficult decision.

"I don't know what choice I should expect Arthur to make now."

"Let him make the decision!"

Martin understood Bruce's concerns. He knew more about the seabed and therefore knew the difficulties Arthur would face.

"I'll let Diana and Arthur meet at my house, and we'll discuss the specific plan after the meeting."

The Justice League's base has not yet been established, and they want an absolutely safe and confidential place. Apart from the Batcave, the only other place is Martin's home.

The Martin family is now placed in a constantly moving subspace, and almost no human can find that place. But Diana and the others have a way to go to the Martin family. Just draw a rune to open the space door, which is very convenient.

Hey!
Martin drew a talisman out of thin air and opened the space door leading to his home.

Bruce followed him in and looked up. He saw a Milky Way running through the dark sky. It was very gorgeous and beautiful. Martin's home was located under the Milky Way, like a house in a fairy tale.

"Why haven't we discussed before about transforming all this space in your house into a base for the Alliance?"

Bruce's first thought upon seeing this sight was business.

"Because I don't want my home to become a vegetable market, where I open my eyes every day to see a group of people walking around."

Martin rolled his eyes at the guy. "Although I value the collective cause of the alliance, I also need my own personal space. Don't even think about coming here."

"What about using magic to open up a subspace?"

Bruce couldn't win over Martin, so he came up with another idea.

"It's fine to use magic to open up a subspace as a second base, but it's not appropriate to use it as the main base. We are facing billions of mortals. Hiding the base in a subspace where no one can find it will not have any publicity effect."

Martin didn't think that Bruce couldn't think of this, he was just used to being a vigilante and thought this way subconsciously.

The appearance of an organization is very important. The Justice League cannot give the world the impression that it is a secret organization, as that would be detrimental to its future development.

"You have a point. But building a space station is not an easy task. I think I am quite smart, but I still have no idea."

Bruce is worried about whether the supply chain of Wayne Group can withstand such a major project.

Especially since the Justice League still needs to be kept secret, there are even fewer factories that can be mobilized.

"Bruce, my advice to you is to encourage superhumans to develop their own abilities. They are rare means of production."

Martin's proposal is not a unique creation, but anyone with a little bit of common sense would not think that superpowers can only be used for fighting and killing.

"This is not an easy matter. You have added another big problem to my life."

Bruce sighed. Using super powers in production is much more difficult than training them to fight and kill.

"Let Dick take charge of this matter. It's time for those young people to take more responsibility."

Martin has always been optimistic about Dick because he has the talent to organize people, which is something other superheroes do not have.

"The kid has been complaining to me recently that he hasn't been back to Bluehaven for a long time. If I give him more burden, I'm worried that he will quit."

Bruce could understand his eldest son's thoughts very well. The identity of vigilante was very important to them. It would be abnormal if he didn't have some feelings as he watched the identity he once was familiar with drifting away from him.

"He'll figure it out. This is much more valuable than patrolling the streets."

Martin insisted on his opinion, and Bruce didn't think it was a bad thing.

"What's worth more?"

Diana and Arthur also came to Martin's house through the space gate.

They walked in one after the other, through different doors, but were both very interested in what Martin had done today.

"Bruce and I are discussing assigning Dick a job."

Martin summarized his journey with Morpheus in a few simple sentences, but there wasn't much to say.

Then he continued to talk to the two of them about the consensus he had just reached with Bruce and their plan.

"Such an important matter, didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

Diana complained to Martin with dissatisfaction. What she was dissatisfied with was not the route they were taking, but why Martin did not discuss this matter with her first.

They are a couple, why don’t they share anything?

"I have been thinking about the future development of the league for a long time, but Bruce and I made this decision on the spur of the moment."

Martin grabbed Diana's hand, apologized repeatedly, and made a few faces to please her.

Diana rolled her eyes at Martin, squeezed his hand and said, "I just want to be with you more."

"I hope so."

Martin reached out his right hand and stroked Diana's face, kissing her gently on the lips.

"Cough cough!"

Bruce and Arthur coughed twice and said with a smile, "If you two want to be intimate, why don't you find a place where there's no one? We're talking about business now, so be serious."

"You are jealous."

Diana hugged Martin and kissed him back as if in protest, but it was just a joke and she didn't take any further action.

"My girlfriend is right. You should make a choice among those female confidantes."

Martin also hugged Diana and gave Bruce advice with a smile.

"This is my private matter."

Bruce didn't want to talk about this.

Martin did not continue. He said to Arthur seriously: "Arthur, now is the time for you to make a decision. How are you going to deal with the relationship with Atlantis?"

Arthur's face instantly turned bitter: "Shouldn't you care about Diana first?"

"I am confident that I can convince my mother and sisters to accept the alliance's plan."

Diana lay on Martin and said lazily.

"Relationships on Paradise Island have always been violent and direct. As long as I can defeat those who oppose me in a duel, all objections will disappear."

"I really hope the situation under the sea can be as simple as you said. Unfortunately, even if I dream, that damn place will never become so beautiful."

Arthur's words meant that he accepted Martin's plan and agreed to go to Atlantis to stage a prince's revenge.

Although he was very dissatisfied.

"Martin, if you want me to do this, you must find my mother first. The Alliance or other land people cannot get involved in this matter, otherwise it will evolve into hatred between the underwater people and the land people."

"No problem, this is something I promised you a long time ago, but do you think this is enough?"

How could Martin have forgotten Atlanna?
