Marvel Comics: Starting with the Ability to Replicate Superhuman Talents

Lauren is still talking about the origins of Gotham City.

He told Keno how the Court of Owls grew bigger and stronger under the leadership of the Elliott family, and became a behemoth that shrouded Gotham City.

Lauren closed her eyes in confusion and murmured: "Beware of the Court of Owls, they will monitor your travels at all times."

"A peek into Gotham City from the dark, hidden in the attic with low walls."

“He is with me when I dwell in my home, and when I lie down and in my bed, he is with me.”

"Don't ever mention his name, or the sharp claws will come after you."

Lauren opened his eyes, looked at Gino who looked indifferent and said, "This nursery rhyme spread in Gotham is not a lie. The wealth and power of the Court of Owls are far beyond your imagination."

"They have Gotham's most powerful assassins at their disposal to eliminate those standing in the way of the Court of Owls."

"So." Gino ignored Lauren's praise of the Court of Owls and focused his attention on the last scene.

On that picture scroll, a downcast figure hunched out of the dark hall.

The young man stared at Lauren with his blue eyes and said, "Has the Elliott family been expelled from the Court of Owls?"

Jino's words caused Lauren to fall into silence. His face turned red and he argued: "That's just me leaving voluntarily!"

After listening to the old man's words, Jino understood now.

The boy's lips curled up in amusement and he looked at Lauren: "So, you committed something and were kicked out of the Court of Owls by these people, right?"

Luo Lun didn't answer, but Jino walked around Luo Lun: "Let me guess."

"Why did you tell me about Amber Gold?"

"You want me to help you fulfill the dream you've always wanted to fulfill and return to the Court of Owls, right?"

Laurent was not angry after being exposed by Jino. The old man who was angry a second ago regained his composure. He sat back on the sofa tremblingly, looked at Jino and said: "My child, you are very similar to me when I was young. , I can see the ambition shining in your eyes, you desire many things."

"And the Elliot family name can help you."

Lauren told him his plan: "Originally, I planned to let Thomas inherit my wishes, but he only wanted to study medicine and become a stupid doctor."

"So you came to find me?" Jino snorted coldly from his nostrils.

"Listen to me." Laurent stretched out his hand to signal Gino to shut up, and he continued: "I once did a stupid thing in the Court of Owls and was expelled."

"But they gave me a chance and offered to have my heir join the Court of Owls."

Lauren stood up again and took out the white owl mask from the cabinet.

He put the mask into Gino's hand: "Take it, half of your blood belongs to Gotham, they will not reject you, you can join that organization and enjoy the support of the entire city."

"The Claw Assassins will be driven by you, and the amber gold will sustain your life."

Jino picked up the mask handed over by Lauren. This one was thin and light, with only a pair of eyes and nostrils exposed on the full-length white mask.

He played with the mask in his hand, turned to stare at Lauren, and chuckled: "You were kicked out of the court in embarrassment, but they gave you a place."

“You know what this behavior looks like to me?”

"It's like the owner threw a dog bone to the dog that was kicked out of the house."

Jino's voice gradually became louder, and he slowly straightened up, his tall and mighty body exuding an intimidating aura.

"The Court of Owls belongs to the Elliot family."

The young man's voice gradually became lower, and he stared at Lauren with his blue eyes: "And now, you want me to go find these thieves with a dog bone and kneel down?"

"Sorry, I don't like accepting charity from others."

Jino gently clenched the left hand holding the mask. The white mask shattered under the squeeze of the force, and the ceramic-like mask fragments fell to the floor.

"No!" Laurent let out a shrill scream. He threw himself on the carpet without any image, kicking up bursts of dust in the carpet.

The old man trembled and kept picking up the mask fragments from the ground. He raised his head and glared at Jino: "Look what you have done!?"

"You ruined your only chance!"

"No!" Jino's voice was louder than Lauren's. The old man was surprised to find the blue light in Jino's eyes. The bright blue light was far more dazzling than the amber gold in the box.

A trace of cold mist spread around the young man's eyes, and the surrounding furniture was also covered with a thick layer of white frost.

He heard his grandson sneer and say: "What I want, I will get it myself."

Jino looked at the oil paintings on the wall and seemed to be talking to himself:

"Amber gold, mine."

"The Claw Assassin will be mine too."

"The Court of Owls will be mine too."

"The secrets they have will also be mine."

Jino twisted his neck and made a crisp sound: "Whatever I want, it will be mine."

He couldn't understand why he should follow Luo Lun's example and find someone who came to his door to be a dog when he could clearly rob it.

If it's a good thing and its owner is a villain, grab it, that's Gino's way.

He was not one to be kind to a bunch of things that should be hung from a street lamp.

Besides, the Court of Owls was founded by his mother's ancestors. Taking it back by himself would only return the property to its original owner~

"you you!"

Lauren looked at Jino's blue eyes and the terrifying aura of domination. Only then did the well-informed old man realize that he seemed to have never understood his grandson.

The young man in front of him was far more mysterious and terrifying than he imagined.

The killing intent in Jino reminded him of the claw assassins in the court.

Jino ignored Lauren's mood at the moment. He leaned down and said in the old man's ear: "Now tell me, where is their lair?"

Gino's words brought Lauren back to reality. He pursed his lips, took a deep breath and said, "I don't know."

Jino frowned: "You really don't know?"

The old man said confidently:

"Of course, the Court of Owls is very cautious. They have hundreds of strongholds throughout Gotham's underground passages."

“Every once in a while the location changes.”

Jino listened silently, and couldn't help complaining in his heart. These rich people really have nothing to do. Why do they like to build so many strongholds?

Are you afraid that one day you will be caught hanging from a street lamp?

Lauren sighed: "Originally, if you kept the mask, you only had to put it on your face and walk around Gotham City, and someone would find you, but now, your only chance has been ruined."

"You mean the mask?" Gino glanced at the fragments on the ground. Then, he glanced at Lauren and hatched a new plan in his mind.

The young man pointed at the fragmented mask and said, "Then why not put it back together?"

"No, seeing the broken mask will only alarm them and make them hide deeper."

"Really?" Jino looked at the mask thoughtfully.

It seems that the so-called Court of Owls is very cautious...

After thinking about it, the young man sneered: "Since they don't want to be exposed, then I will lure them out."

"Do you know what the Claw Assassin looks like?"
