DC: I, Kamen Rider, am not a sorcerer

Chapter 196 The Eve of War (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Since Batman hadn't been summoned yet, Isaac returned to his peaceful daily life after returning from Mount Etna.

Since Isaac had already entrusted Nashville to Rachel and Zatana, and they had both done a good job, he did not plan to take it back until the Crime Syndicate was dealt with.

During these few days, Isaac spent his days playing with the revived Kemi, or reading books to review his skills, and in the evenings he would go to the Teen Titans base to receive special training from Deathstroke. He had a fairly fulfilling time.

"Thanks, Locust Number One."

Seeing Locust Number One hopping towards him with a flower on its back, Isaac picked up the flower, sniffed it gently, reached out and patted its head, and said with a smile.

For Isaac, the relaxation of the past few days did not cause his condition to decline; on the contrary, because of the rest, his condition was much better than before.

"Meet at the watchtower at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

But at that moment, the communicator that Isaac had placed on the table suddenly vibrated, and a message from the communicator's manufacturer appeared on the screen.

"It seems our battle is about to begin."

Isaac casually closed the book he had only read halfway through, "The Principles of Quantum Mechanics," picked up his communicator, replied "Received," and then turned to look at the Kemi who were running around the room, speaking loudly.

Isaac had already discussed with Cammy about their upcoming battle against another version of himself, a dark alchemist. So, like Isaac, they had been preparing for this battle that they absolutely could not lose.

So Isaac didn't need to say anything more. In an instant, all the Kemi, including the X Wizards, turned into a ball of light, circled around Isaac once, and then automatically disappeared into the Knight Card Box that appeared at his waist.

"Hey, you little rascal, you actually cooked today. That's quite a rare sight."

Chen Ye, who had just returned home from get off work, was surprised to see his son, wearing a kitchen apron, walking out of the kitchen carrying a plate of stir-fried beef with kale.

"Dad, you're back just in time. The last dish is just finished. After you wash your hands, we can start eating."

Unlike usual, Isaac didn't exchange a word with his father. Instead, he placed the plate of stir-fried beef with kale on the table with his usual peaceful smile before speaking.

Upon hearing Isaac's words, Veronica, Zatana, and Rachel, who were sitting in the living room busy with their own things, all got up and headed towards the bathroom.

"Tell me, are you going off to carry out some long-duration mission again soon?"

Glancing at Veronica and the other two who were cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, Chen Ye, sitting on the sofa, let out a soft breath, turned to look at Isaac, who was sitting quietly on the single sofa, and said in a deep voice.

"I guess so. This mission is a bit special. I have to deal with another version of myself from another world." Actually, Isaac had been thinking about whether or not to tell his parents about this, but after receiving the message from the Justice League's brain, he finally decided to tell them and tell them what his other self had done.

"First gods, then aliens, and now completely opposite counterparts from other worlds have emerged. This world is truly becoming more and more unfamiliar to us."

After listening to Isaac recount what Kesaai had done and the decisions he had made, Chen Ye remained silent for a while, and subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

However, Chen Ye's hand touched nothing on the table. Only then did he remember that he had promised his wife that he would not smoke at home, so he had not brought the cigarettes back.

Noticing his father's actions, Isaac thought for a moment, then took a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to him. After a moment's hesitation, Chen Ye reached out, took the lollipop, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth.

"Before we knew it, you've grown up. Now that you've made up your mind, go for it. Your mother and I will support you."

The living room fell silent again, with only the soft sound of Chen Ye chewing his lollipop. After a while, he threw away the remaining stick of the lollipop, turned to look at Isaac, and said with a sigh and a touch of melancholy.

Chen Ye is quite satisfied with how his son has grown up. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, he has eventually grown into an excellent and upright person.

Now that he has grown up, has his own opinions and determination, and wants to do the right thing, all they, as his parents, can do is silently support him.

As for Isaac's counterpart, who had gone astray, become completely mired in it, and committed many wrongdoings, Chen Ye felt there was nothing to say. After all, the principle was simple: if you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment.

"Phew~ I'll go get ready now, we're leaving tomorrow."

Seeing that his father understood him, Isaac breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the time on his phone screen and saw that it was already past 9 o'clock. Without further hesitation, he stood up, said something, and then turned and left the living room.

Since he would be facing that version of himself from the Ge Liang story tomorrow, Isaac felt he needed to get some rest and recharge, since that guy's strength was indeed not simple.

"Are you sure everything is alright, darling?"

Shortly after Isaac left, Veronica, who had been in the kitchen, came out and sat down next to Chen Ye, speaking with some concern.

"We must learn to trust him; after all, he is our son."

Reaching out, Chen Ye gently put his arm around his wife's shoulder and softly tried to soothe her. He already had plenty of experience in comforting the woman he had been with for over a decade.

At the corner of the stairs, Isaac, who was peeking into the living room, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene, a relaxed smile returning to his lips, and turned back to walk towards the second floor.
