Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 50: Adoptive Son and Biological Son (Please read and vote for the monthly collection)

Dick walked to the door of the company, took three deep breaths, and then he transformed from a fighter against crime into a nobleman of the Wayne family.

He smiled and shook hands with the executives who were close to him one by one, and his familiarity made everyone feel at ease. Then he asked, "What happened today? Why are you all here? Aren't you afraid that the lunatics in Arkham Asylum will attack you?"

"You don't know?" The executives were all surprised. They looked at Dick with a little pity and said in a low voice, "I heard that a woman suddenly appeared with Mr. Wayne's illegitimate child. Alfred is doing genetic testing for the illegitimate child."

"Oh? What's that woman's name?"

Nightwing's eyes narrowed into a line. He thought of Martin's reminder and instantly had a bad guess.

It must not be Talia. It must not be Talia...

Dick prayed silently in his heart. The last thing he needed right now was such a bloody thing.

"Talia al Ghul! Yes, that's her name. I heard she's from the Middle East."

instant noodles!
Dick cursed Bruce in his heart, complaining about why his adoptive father couldn't control his pants and why he found such a dangerous woman.

Dick said with a dark face: "Let me guess, that woman is not easy to deal with. Does she want the management rights of Wayne Group?"

"As expected of Mr. Wayne's designated successor, you are smart enough. What are you going to do?"

It is clear that the executives have other intentions.

Dick used to laugh it off, but with Martin's reminder, he realized Talia's conspiracy, looked around at the executives around him, and said in a deep voice:

"I only know that the Wayne Group has been able to maintain its current glory through the hard work of all of us. An outsider wants to take away our power without paying anything. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"That's right. The group belongs to Mr. Wayne, and Master Grayson is the public heir."

"Don't mention that the identity is still uncertain. Even if it is confirmed, what will happen?"

"What do you think of us, you think of us as a white wolf who wants to take advantage of us for nothing?"

After hearing Dick, who had never been involved in any matter, speak publicly for the first time, the executives around him became even more enthusiastic about him and surrounded him as he walked into the group.

"Dick's expression changes so quickly, he is indeed a rich man."

Killer Croc complained harshly about Dick's changed appearance.

He and the Death Shooter stood far away and did not show up in public. Their identities were sensitive, and it was not appropriate for them to show up in public before they were cleared of all charges.

"I'm paid to do the job, why bother with so many things?" Death Shooter was open-minded. He found another way, avoided the surveillance, and followed Dick.

When they reached the top floor, there were only a few people left around Dick, and not many were qualified to attend this kind of meeting.

"Master Grayson!"

Alfred walked out of his office, bowed slightly to the others, and then pulled Dick aside.

Dick spoke first: "Do you think the identity of the child inside is true or false?"

Alfred said seriously, "It depends on the final test results. But personally, Ms. Talia wouldn't be stupid enough to use such a lie that can be easily exposed."

Dick nodded and said to the old butler, "No matter whether the child's identity is true or false, I can't let Talia use this identity to get involved in the Wayne Group."

Alfred looked at Dick in surprise, which was very different from his usual self.

Dick explained with a headache: "This was Martin's suggestion. He saw Talia's plan from the Arkham Knight's memory."

"It's enough to delay for a while. Martin will be able to rescue Bruce today. By then, no matter what conspiracy Talia has, it will not work."

"I see."

Alfred is very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and he has many ways to delay it if he wants to.

But Dick knew Talia better than Alfred, and knew that this terrorist organization's daughter was not a reasonable person. He grabbed Alfred and told him, "If Talia gets violent, you can blame it on me. I am Bruce's designated successor, so I am more suitable than you to deal with it."

The old butler nodded and returned to the office again.

Dick went to several senior executives and discussed the situation of the group with them.

……

Gotham Port.

Martin transformed into a mermaid-like soft shadow soldier. He flicked his tail, knocked the fence away, swam into the sea from the sewer, faced the waves, jumped several meters high from the shore, and fell into the sea with a splash.

The predecessor of the Soft Shadow Soldiers was a coastal tribe. After they gained the power of shadows, they gained the ability to change their bodies like water, and most of them are aquatic creatures.

Martin had once turned into a fish and had been spotted by a mermaid and brought to the bottom of the sea, so he was no stranger to the ocean.

He followed the coordinates in Jason's mind, dived into the sea, swung his tail, and shot out like an arrow, breaking through the sea water and swimming hundreds of meters away in the waves.

Swimming, so cool!

Martin felt the sea water caressing his body. He didn't feel any discomfort, as if he was home. He swam faster and faster.

Leaving the Gotham Sea, the sun suddenly came out, and the ocean was reflected like a huge blue gem. Countless birds and fish flew and swam along with the ripples blown by the breeze.
On the sea with almost no waves, a cruise ship floated alone on the sea, without starting the engine, just drifting naturally with the ocean current.

Bruce was imprisoned on this ship.

"It's finally over!"

Martin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the endless dark shadow extending from the bottom of the sea and gave up the idea of transforming into a giant octopus and directly dragging the cruise ship into the seabed.

He was worried that before the cruise ship fell to the bottom of the sea, his sanity would be devoured by the dark shadows in the depths of the ocean.

boom!
Martin, who had grown bat wings, broke through the surface of the sea and rushed into the sky. In a flash, he was flying over the cruise ship. His two eyes scanned and instantly locked onto every warrior and mercenary on the deck.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Martin did not hide himself, and the assassin on the deck sounded the air raid alarm, which spread to every corner of the cruise ship.

The assassins and mercenaries pulled aside the green canvas, revealing several anti-aircraft guns, and fired at Martin, forming a dense network of fire.

"Damn it! If Penguin wasn't dead, I would have torn his head off and kicked it like a ball."

Martin flapped his bat wings to avoid the anti-aircraft fire, but he was accidentally hit in the face by the delayed explosion and anti-aircraft guns, and flew several meters away in circles.

He was a shadow, not injured of course, but very unhappy.

hum!
He opened his palms, and the black light waves were compressed into a line, sweeping across the deck, triggering a series of huge explosions and blowing up the anti-aircraft guns that blocked the airspace.

Then the light balls gathered in the middle of the wings behind him, and finally split into a dozen light balls that fell towards the deck of the cruise ship.

And these dozen or so light balls split again and fell like raindrops.

The attacks here were silent.

The people and objects on the deck were swallowed by the shadows, silently pulled into the shadow world, and their existence was wiped out.

Then, Martin folded his wings.
