The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1121

Damian knew very well that if he wanted to achieve his true goal at this point, he needed to completely forget the excuse he had used to run away in the first place.

Let's just consider this a mission failure. As the grandson of the leader of the Assassin's Guild, he still holds a certain status, and no one would execute him for this.

Therefore, Damian immediately decided that he would leave Cassandra's matter to David Cain to deal with, and that he had already done more than enough by bringing the news back.

Once Damian understood the key point, he immediately changed his tune and nodded.

"Not entirely. I came out on a mission. You know I've always wanted to see my biological father and have been working towards that goal."

Cassandra nodded. Damian had told her about this before, and she had also heard about it from her father.

"It's a pity that my mother set a condition for me that I could not see my biological father unless I defeated her, and given my age, it is absolutely impossible for me to defeat my mother in a short period of time."

Damian began to appeal to his emotions and reason.

"So I chose a less-than-obedient method, but since I've always stayed under the castle of the Assassin's Creed, I don't know much about the outside world."

“My grandfather only gave me twelve hours, which wasn’t much time. Just when I thought I might be disappointed, I stumbled upon your trail by chance. But don’t worry, for now only I know about this.”

Damian reassured her, guessing that Cassandra definitely didn't want the League of Assassins to find her. He was only benefiting from being a peer, practically a childhood friend. Any other assassin would likely have already been defeated by Cassandra by now.

That's right, she was knocked down. Damian believes that apart from a handful of elites in the League of Assassins, none of them are a match for Cassandra.

Seeing that Cassandra's expression had eased slightly, Damian pressed his advantage.

"I want to ask for your help, Cassandra, to guide me like a tour guide and help me find my father."

Cassandra hesitated. On one hand, she really wanted to help Damian, but on the other hand, the Young Justice League also needed her help.

If only Damian's request were not time-consuming, but unfortunately, he was troubled by the ever-decreasing time, and for a moment Cassandra really didn't know what to do.

"Cassandra? Why is it taking so long to open a door?"

Damian looked over Cassandra's head and saw a captivating woman—the most famous and powerful female superhero, Wonder Woman, Diana.

Diana was taken aback when she saw Damian. She had not only heard about Batman's son from Yang Le, but had also seen his photos, so she recognized Damian at first glance.

However, out of politeness, Diana still asked a question.

Is this your good friend?

Cassandra quickly explained what had just happened in sign language. Fortunately, Diana had amazing dynamic vision, otherwise she might not have been able to understand it.

In fact, Yang Le had suggested building a device for Cassandra that could assist in vocalization or telepathic communication, but the latter refused.

Cassandra explained that she wasn't incapable of speaking; her brain simply hadn't adapted yet. While Yang Le's tools might make communication easier, they could also create dependency. Cassandra wasn't one for shortcuts, so she declined Yang Le's offer. Incidentally, Cassandra could now speak, though her words were disjointed and somewhat hesitant.

Therefore, Cassandra usually communicates with others using sign language, and only practices speaking with her mouth when she is with her three family members: Yang Le, Diana, and Donna.

“Hello, esteemed Wonder Woman. Just as Cassandra said, I come from the same place as her. I’ve come out here to find my father.”

Diana knew that Batman was Damian's father, but she didn't think it was her place to bring up the relationship, because the latter had said that he would meet Damian when he was ready.

In fact, the old bat had already been there, but because he didn't want to be discovered by the assassins, he only sneaked into the castle, took a look from afar, and then left.

For an ordinary Batman, being able to infiltrate the League of Assassins headquarters without triggering any alarms is already quite an achievement; it's clearly impossible for someone like Yang Le to come and go as he pleases.

For a moment, Diana didn't know how to deal with Damian's situation, so she thought of Yang Le, who, as the provider of this information, often discussed this matter with Batman, so he should know how to handle it.

“Come in, child.” Diana tugged at Cassandra, gesturing for her to move aside.

Damian didn't hold back either. After politely greeting Cassandra, he followed her into the house.

At this moment, in the living room, Yang Le had just finished dealing with the chip on Donna's body. After his research, he could now modify the function of the control chip without triggering an alarm or cutting off the transmitter after transforming into a highly intelligent alien.

However, it's not very efficient; it can only modify one thing at a time. After all, this thing is very precise, and multi-threaded operation is not yet possible. It's still not as convenient and fast as biological EMP.

Donna was probably the last one he rescued alone; the rest could be taken down by the bomb.

"You're back. Why did you take so long?"

As soon as Yang Le asked the question, he saw Damian following Cassandra in. Now he knew the answer without anyone else having to explain.

"I see. But I really didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."

Damian raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "It seems you know who I am, and not only that, you also have some understanding of me."

Actually, I know you very well; at this stage, I definitely know you better than your father does.

Of course, Yang Le couldn't say this out loud; he simply nodded in agreement with Damian's words.

"It's not just me, your father also knows about you. He originally planned to find you after he finished what he was doing, but you couldn't stand the loneliness and came to his door. Am I right?"

The final question was for Diana, since it would be embarrassing if he guessed Damian's purpose wrong, but thankfully he didn't.

Damian clenched his fist inwardly. He hadn't expected his father to know about his existence. This was completely different from what his mother had said. If what Yang Le said was true, then his image of his mother would have to change.
