Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 427 I can't fall asleep tonight (please subscribe, read, comment on the monthly ticket)
Talia's problem is the same as that of all mediocre bureaucrats: she lacks decisiveness.

People like her can fully develop their talents under the protection of a leader.

But once they face danger alone, they tend to panic and make wrong judgments about the situation.

Talia pulled it out and tried to kill Martin. This action seemed brave, but it was actually an escape.

She is a commander, not a warrior.

If Martin had been attacked, his first reaction would have been to inform his subordinates of the news and adjust the deployment as soon as possible.

Or she could simply get rid of all the assassins that the police had entangled with, take a few assassins with her, and escape without a care in the world, saving only her life.

But Talia chose the worst option, forgetting that she still had a group of assassins to command, and did not give up the task assigned by Lars.

All she could think about was getting rid of Martin as an accident, so she missed the last chance.

Of course, even if she was clear-headed, it wouldn't be of much use.

Because Martin had already interfered with the surrounding signals, ensuring that Talia could not contact her assassins.

As for escaping, that is even more impossible.

"What era is this? Who wants to duel with you?"

Martin ridiculed Talia's messy thoughts and dodged the opponent's long knife.

The shadow of hooves rushed forward, forcing Talia away.

Martin stretched out his hand, grasped the two Nilin swords that shot out from the back of the hoof shadow, and swung them gently, illuminating the dark streets wherever he passed.

The hoof shadow knocked Talia away and rushed towards the approaching assassin without slowing down, buying some space for Martin.

"I think a sword can kill you, what do you think?"

Martin turned his wrist, and the two Ni Lin swords shone brightly. A light spot was emitted from the hilt of each sword, which circled around the sword body continuously, making the pair of swords look more like works of art rather than deadly weapons.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Talia was furious. No assassin with any dignity could accept such an insult.

Maybe she didn't have any special talent in tactics and command, but she was not bad at all in martial arts skills.

Talia's excellent martial arts skills are still relative to ordinary people.

She might be able to deal with the assassins of the League of Assassins easily, but she still had many flaws in Martin's eyes.

According to the human concept of time, Martin has just reached adulthood, but he experiences a different identity every day. From this perspective, the experience he has accumulated is no less than those immortals.

The so-called combat master is actually a smart person who has summed up some general rules from vast combat experience.

Because of their different growth and combat environments, these masters often choose different fighting methods in order to win, thus forming the so-called styles.

As a woman, Ms. Shiva's physical fitness is worse than that of men. In order to win, she has to look for opportunities to kill with one blow while moving flexibly.

Bruce's physique is naturally strong, and since he doesn't kill people when dealing with Gotham criminals, he prefers to defend first and then fight back.

Excellent masters are able to realize that the experience they have summed up in life and death is actually very unbalanced, so when fighting, they will deliberately guide the surrounding environment to develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.

But Talia did not have such awareness. She was too focused on the martial arts she learned from Lars and ignored the environment she was in.

Lars' fighting style is just like him: attack, attack, and attack again.

There is no sign of the Demon Chief retreating, not to mention that he is always surrounded by a group of assassins. By the time he really takes action, either the battle has been completely won or the Assassin's League will be destroyed.

In these two situations, Lars doesn't need to think about anything else but how to kill his opponent.

But Talia did not have the same strong willpower as his father. At this time, he actually thought of the assassins who were besieged by the police.

Martin didn't even need to guess, he saw through Talia's attack routine at a glance, and just moved his feet slightly to avoid her blade.

As for the bullet fired from the gun in Talia's other hand, it was blocked by Martin's sword.

Even without the blessing of the Force, Martin has not forgotten the swordsmanship of the Jedi Knights, and the bullets fired from kinetic weapons are not as fast as the beams of blaster rifles.

More importantly, Talia's inability to control her emotions makes all her actions very predictable.

The bullets fired from the barrels of automatic rifles were melted by the energy surging around the blade of the Ni Lin Sword.

The failure of the first round of attack made Talia regain her mind. She stopped swinging her sword and started shooting frantically, trying to close the distance between the two.

Martin watched as Hoof Shadow killed the assassins who tried to rescue Talia, then stopped immediately, turned the sword, cleared all the bullets shot at him, and then stood up and stabbed forward.

In an instant, the two swords of Ni Lin drew countless sword marks in the chaotic streets, and rushed towards Talia like meteors rising from the ground.

More bullets were cut off, the automatic rifles turned into fragments, and the carefully crafted swords were all broken into several pieces.

Talia's eyes blurred, and before she could even react, her shoulder was pierced by the Ni Lin sword. She was carried backwards by the two swords thrown by Martin and was finally nailed to the wall.

"what--"

Talia couldn't control her body and cried out in pain.

The place where the Ni Lin sword pierced was burned into charcoal by the energy surging in the sword. Even the well-trained Talia could not bear such pain.

"Listen to Hoof Shadow, scan her body and remove everything that can kill herself."

Martin had no intention of torturing Talia, even for Bruce and Damian's sake.

More importantly, he already knew that Talia didn't know who the person behind the scenes who was working with the Assassin's League was.

In such a situation, there is no point in torturing the other party.

Tiying killed all the assassins without any effort, just a strong impact.

He followed Martin's orders, his eyes glowing, and began scanning Talia to prevent her from committing suicide.

But in the end, the mechanical warhorse did not find any secret tools or poison to commit suicide.

"It seems that you are even more cowardly than I thought. You don't even have the courage to commit suicide."

Martin watched Damian's fight. He relied on various props made by Bruce to fight back and forth with the assassins who were released from their restrictions.

"I am Talia al Ghul, daughter of the Lord of Demons..."

"I won't do anything to you, so there's no need for you to say this nonsense to me. Just shut your mouth from now on and wait for the transfer."

Martin will not have a good attitude towards Talia. This woman is the representative of great ambition but little talent, and what she wants to inherit is not something good.

As for what her final outcome will be, let Bruce worry about it.

Of course Talia would not give in, at least she would not express her surrender to Martin verbally.

Martin didn't tolerate her and directly drew out his two swords. The intense pain instantly exceeded the limit that Talia's body could endure, and she fainted.

Then, he drew his sword and rushed towards the assassins who were besieging Damian.

The sword light floated, like thunder across the sky, appearing suddenly and disappearing suddenly.

The assassins were stabbed in the vitals before they could react and fell to the ground helplessly.

"Master, I can handle them by myself."

Damian had a tense face as he looked at the assassins who were easily killed by Martin. His body relaxed, but he did not forget to show his abilities.

"Perhaps you can do it, but there is no need to prove yourself here. For us, dealing with the Assassin's League is just a piece of cake."

Yes, even though the Gotham Police Department had deployed all of its heavy equipment to encircle and suppress the League of Assassins tonight, turning Gotham into a battlefield.

But compared to what the Justice League is going to do next, everything that happened tonight was still a minor incident.

After Martin was sure that all the assassins on this street were dead, he said to Damian, "If you really want to prove yourself, I can let you participate in the migration plan as a consultant."

Although he was called an advisor, he actually just wanted to let Damian see the world.

The Justice League moved from the United States to Africa, but it wasn't just about getting people away.

The transfer of assets under the alliance, the planning of future new cities, the planning of industrial systems, the negotiation of new partners, the handling of domestic relations in the United States...Martin did not underestimate Damian, but the child had too little experience and could hardly bear such a heavy responsibility.

This world has long passed the era where fighting can solve everything. The most important thing is how to deal with the relationships between people.

And this is exactly what Damian lacks the most.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prove myself to you."

Damian first expressed his determination to Martin, and then asked: "Can I go see my mother now?"

"Forget it now!"

Martin was going to agree, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind: "Although your mother is ambitious but incompetent, she is indeed shameless. If she uses the mother-son relationship to kidnap you and make you let her go, things will be troublesome. So you should go to Blackgate Prison to see her, and it would be best if you bring someone to watch."

Damian didn't think his mother would do something that would embarrass him, but since his master said so, he nodded and accepted the arrangement.

After dealing with Talia, the next thing will be easy.

Martin asked Hoof Shadow to send Talia to Gordon to see if he could use this prisoner to end the battle faster. If not, he would shut up the matter.

Then, he sent Damian back to Wayne Manor and persuaded Bruce to relax his control over Damian and allow the child to join the plan.

Bruce didn't agree at first. He knew Damian and knew that he didn't have the ability to get along with others.

But after Martin's repeated persuasion, he finally gave in and allowed Damian to follow Arthur and be a temporary secretary.

After resolving the issues at Bruce's house, Gordon also ended the fight.

Because Talia was unwilling to cooperate, the assassins besieged by the Gotham police refused to surrender and were eventually blown to pieces in the artillery fire, with most of them ending up without a complete body.

This made the old policeman Gordon so angry that he almost shot Talia.

He had never seen such a cold-blooded and heartless person who could ruthlessly abandon even those who loyally followed him.

But in the end, Gordon didn't do it, even though it was out of his duty as a policeman, it was also for Damian's sake.

Like Alfred, Gordon is very caring towards children like Damian and does not want to create a rift with Damian because of a scumbag like Talia.

"But I really want to shoot that bastard!"

Looking at Martin who came to his side and Gordon who was dealing with the aftermath, he let out his emotions freely.

"There's no need. Why get angry over someone who is destined to be abandoned by history?"

Martin calmed Gordon's emotions and did not pay attention to Talia who had already failed.

"I came to you now to ask about the whereabouts of Poison Ivy."

"Is it related to the Justice League's next plan?"

Gordon quickly controlled his emotions and got into work mode.

The Justice League's plan to move from the United States was not hidden from Gordon. Firstly, he was an important member and author of the league. Secondly, Bruce could not do anything to Gotham without the help of the old director.

"Although Ivy's ideas are a bit extreme, her understanding of plants and her ability to transform them are indeed outstanding. Let's keep her as a backup!"

Although it has not yet been determined which part of Africa the Justice League will relocate to, the worst-case scenario is that under pressure from various countries, no region is willing to accept the Justice League.

The alliance can also transform truly uninhabited areas, such as the desert.

Gordon didn't ask any more questions and told the location of Poison Ivy.

After Poison Ivy met Martin, she became a lot more honest. At least there haven't been any terrorist attacks in recent times.

Martin got the position and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he said to Gordon: "I know you have an inseparable feeling for the city of Gotham, but for the people living in this city, moving to a new place is not a bad thing."

"do not worry!"

Gordon knew that Martin was worried about his attachment to Gotham: "The skyscrapers in the city are just dead things after all. The people living in this city are the key. I won't get the key wrong. As for the screening of the first batch of immigrants, leave it to me. I guarantee that there will be no problems."

"Please let us know if there's any trouble. I'll leave Gotham's affairs in your hands!"

Martin respected Gordon because he was the kind of person who was unwilling to give in, and he never gave up even when Gotham had no hope.

……

What happened in Gotham spread quickly, but no one paid attention to what happened in this sinful city.

Because everyone's attention was attracted by the actions of the Justice League.

This organization, which brings together the world's most powerful superhumans, has made many radical remarks, but its actions over the past period of time have been very conservative.

Not only did they strictly abide by U.S. laws, they also maintained a certain degree of cooperation with the reviews of various departments.

He is also very restrained in recruiting members and does not show off his ideas much in daily activities.

For an organization that wields so much violence, such an action is already a gesture of goodwill to the White House.

Even such a penchant for showing good will made some lawmakers feel that the Justice League was actually nothing to be afraid of, which was one of the reasons why the government's top brass decided to further restrict the Justice League.

But what no one expected was that the conservative Justice League changed their attitude overnight.

Aquaman held a press conference late at night and invited the Daily Planet, Central City Daily and other traditional major American media to attend and showed them the International Gang's private account books.

Under the flashing spotlight, Aquaman said with deep sorrow: "Since the establishment of the Justice League, our members have always strictly abided by local laws and respected people's customs. We hope that this way we can resolve the barriers between each other and work together to create a better future."

"However, just today, we seized such an account book from the international gang, which records the transactions between this big gang that smuggles arms around the world and some congressmen and government departments."

"Just because we discovered some people's unspeakable secrets, they jumped up and down in Congress, accusing the Justice League of violating the law and destroying the American democratic and free system."

Aquaman's words caused an uproar. The reporters who got up in the middle of the night were originally in low spirits, but after hearing such explosive news, it was like taking several pounds of blue pills. Everyone became hard and took pictures frantically at the photos on the big screen.

The news recorded in these account books alone are big news for depression in the past decade, not to mention that Aquaman, as one of the leaders of the Justice League, publicly criticized the congressman. This kind of thing may not be encountered in the next few decades.

The reporters didn't want to miss this opportunity to become famous, and asked questions like crazy.

"Mr. Aquaman, which members are attacking the Justice League?"

"Has any department already taken action against the Justice League?"

"Will the Justice League fight back against this?"

“Can you guarantee the authenticity of this data?”

The voices of the reporters were like a wave, seemingly overturning the entire hall. Some supported it, some opposed it, but more reporters were still fanning the flames, wanting to make the incident a bigger fuss.

This was exactly the scene Arthur wanted to see.

The Justice League wants to move, but there are too many things they need to deal with. If they shrink directly, it is likely to trigger a full-scale attack on the league by the US government.

Therefore, Martin said that everyone should not be timid now, but should directly expose the actions of those people in Congress, engage in verbal battles with them, and not be afraid of some minor frictions.

The louder the noise, the better it can conceal their true intentions.

Seeing the increasingly lively reporters, Arthur did not let the situation continue to develop. Instead, he stepped forward and said, "Even if some congressmen have hidden secrets, the alliance believes that this is just their personal conspiracy. The White House and Congress have actually been deceived by them.

Under the free system created and maintained by Washington and his predecessors, the wrongs done to the Union will sooner or later be redressed.”

Although Aquaman backed down in the end, the reporters were quite disappointed.

As bystanders, they don't consider what will happen to the Justice League in the end. They just hope that they can really fight the government so that they can gain benefits.

This is a pity, as Aquaman’s final remarks indicate that the Alliance is only dealing with certain individuals, and is not comparing itself to the entire United States.

Although this logic is normal, it is a pity for reporters who like to watch the fun and make trouble.

They can no longer take advantage of this opportunity to gain more fame and benefits for themselves.

Despite this, the alliance's statement still sparked online public opinion, making it difficult for Congress and the White House to sleep tonight.
