Chapter 1120 Damian Searches for His Father (2)

Twelve hours may seem like a lot, but it becomes very urgent when it's used to find someone.

Whether traveling or searching for information, both require a lot of time, and Damian knew without even thinking that he had to hurry.

Fortunately, Damian had access to the entire Illuminati's intelligence network; otherwise, this task would have been very difficult to accomplish.

As mentioned earlier, Cyborg will obscure some personal information about Justice League members, at least on the internet accessible to the general public.

Only independent networks that are not connected to the internet can escape Cyborg's watchful eye.

The Illuminati naturally has its own independent network, which is why Luther's system was able to save that one photo.

With Wonder Woman as a prominent target, Damian quickly found information about the man beside her, but strangely, the information about the latter was only from the last two years, and nothing from before could be found.

Although curious, Damian knew there was no time to delve into these things, so he hurriedly browsed the information while on his way.

Yang Le, suspected to be Chinese, has close ties to the Justice League and possesses the ability to transform into strange creatures of varying strengths; the strongest known form is at least comparable to Superman.

Seeing that Yang Le was a very powerful person, Damian made up his mind to avoid a direct confrontation with him as much as possible.

Currently, Yang Le is living with Wonder Woman at a farm in Smallville, outside Metropolis.

This put Damian at ease. He was in Metropolis now, and it wouldn't take long to get to Smallville from there. If all went well, he might be able to complete the mission in just six hours.

Then he could spend the rest of his time going to find his father.

Indeed, although Damian was very obedient to his maternal grandfather and mother, as a child he still had an indelible nature within him.

You could call it being opinionated, or you could call it rebellious; in short, Damian wanted to try to find his father without his mother knowing.

However, Damian must first complete his prerequisite tasks, and he has a feeling that his father is a member of the Justice League.

Based on Damian's understanding of his mother, he believed that Talia would never submit to that supervillain; they were a bunch of lunatics with no moral compass.

While the League of Assassins does engage in murder, as an organization that has existed for centuries, it cannot function without rules and regulations, making them different from ordinary supervillains.

Talia received a similar education to Damian from a young age, and considering his maternal grandfather Raysiogu's recent assessment of his father, he believed that his father must be a member of the Justice League.

Moreover, this range is not large. According to modern biological research on superhumans, if one parent is a superhuman, then the offspring have at least a 90% probability of being a superhuman.

Damian is certain that he is not a superhuman, so his father is most likely not a superhuman either. If we look in this direction, then even if we include supervillains, there are not many people who could be his father.

So as long as he could find Cassandra, finding his father shouldn't be too difficult with her help. Damian thought to himself, already having a plan in mind. He put all his weapons into a backpack, then randomly picked a children's clothing store on the street and bought a set of ordinary clothes.

Damian understood that his purpose in coming here did not actually require him to fight with his opponent. Moreover, he believed that he had little chance of winning against Wonder Woman and a superhuman who was similar to Superman.

Therefore, we need to change our approach this time. Assassins are not just about killing; they need to know a lot more in order to achieve their goals.

Carrying a backpack full of dangerous items, Damian boarded a bus bound for Smallville, estimating he would arrive at his destination in about an hour.

Damian had nothing to do for an hour. Unlike other children, he couldn't ask his parents for a phone to play with, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to take out a device that didn't suit his status in front of these ordinary people.

Damian immediately closed his eyes to rest, his mind constantly racing with thoughts of how to persuade Cassandra to return, and who his father really was.

Time flew by, and Damian soon arrived at the final stop. After getting off the bus with his backpack, he walked toward the address he had memorized.

To be honest, Smallville's houses aren't arranged in a very strict way, because it's a rural town made up of multiple farms, so most people who just arrive here will hardly be able to find the place they want to go.

Fortunately, Damian had a satellite map, so this little detour was no problem for him. After about ten minutes, Damian saw a small house made of red and blue.

Damian knew this was his destination. Just as he had planned, he didn't choose the traditional assassin's approach, like Santa Claus entering through a chimney or window. Instead, he obediently went to the front door and rang the doorbell.

After the long ring of the doorbell, Damian heard a series of light footsteps. Sure enough, the door was opened shortly afterward, and an Asian girl with long black hair came out.

The person who opened the door was none other than Cassandra, one of Damian's targets on this trip. She was also taken aback, clearly not expecting to see her former companion here.

"Long time no see, Cassandra." Damian wore a standard poker face; anyone who didn't know better would think he was there to collect a debt.

"It's so nice to see you, Damian." Cassandra gestured animatedly in sign language. "What are you doing here? Did you sneak out too?"

In order to be able to communicate with Cassandra, one of the few people her age, Damian naturally learned sign language, so he easily understood what she was saying and grasped the key points in her words.

Cassandra believes she also escaped, which means she wasn't kidnapped but rather left the League of Assassins voluntarily. Considering the smile in the photo, it seems unlikely that she will be persuaded to return.

After reaching his conclusion, Damian decided to abandon his primary task of persuading Cassandra to return—that's right, he was that decisive.

After all, Damian's main goal is to find his father. If he were to bring up the topic of returning to the League of Assassins with Cassandra at this time, it would likely cause the latter to feel disgusted.

She might refuse his request, which is not what Damian wants to see.
