The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Chapter 313: Frenzied Beating of the Little Ones 2.0

Parasite Demons are old adversaries for both Superman and the Justice League, so the superheroes in the Justice League, especially those like Green Arrow and Batman, have combat and treatment methods specifically for them.

With these pre-made preparations, Green Arrow easily treated Speedy. It was simple, just injecting some medicinal fluids to consolidate and replenish the energy lost from Speedy's body.

Thankfully, Speedy is a superhero who has undergone long-term training, and the Parasite Demon didn't absorb too much energy in order to threaten Green Arrow. However, even this level of absorption would leave an ordinary person weak for ten days to half a month.

Speedy won't be weak for that long, but he certainly won't be nimble for a week. What was absorbed was life energy, which is even more exaggerated than kidney deficiency.

"This kid can't go to parties for the next week." Green Arrow walked to the living area and opened the refrigerator, asking.

"What would you like to drink? Beer? Cola? Or iced ginger ale?"

"Cola is fine." Yang Le frowned almost imperceptibly when he heard the last drink mentioned by Green Arrow. No one but Batman would drink that, right?

"OK!" Green Arrow took out two cans of cola from the refrigerator, threw one to Yang Le, and took a sip of his own first.

Yang Le reached out and caught the thrown cola, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Nice throw."

This wasn't a compliment. Green Arrow's throw was very accurate and powerful, allowing Yang Le to catch the cola can while standing still and without any effort. When Yang Le opened the cola, there wasn't even any foam. Usually, cola that has undergone vigorous movement needs to sit for a while before opening to prevent it from spraying.

"Thanks for the praise, it's how I make a living after all." Green Arrow said, flipping off his hood and taking off his mask, revealing his true face.

"Oliver Queen!" Yang Le exclaimed, but Oliver waved his hand helplessly.

"Stop pretending, your acting is terrible."

"Really?" Yang Le was genuinely surprised this time. He was very confident in his acting skills.

"Just kidding." Oliver took another sip of cola. "I was just testing you, but seeing your expression now, I'm sure you know my real identity."

Oliver finished the cola in two gulps, crushed the can, and threw it into the trash can not far away, a perfect swish.

"Although I don't know how you know my real identity, as a senior, I'll give you a piece of advice: when you're not sure, a poker face is the best choice."

"Uh, okay." Yang Le scratched his head, acknowledging that he had been tricked.

"There are many very clever people in this world," Oliver continued, leaning against the wall. "Although they don't use their cleverness for the right things, it's undeniable that they are very difficult to deal with. Sometimes, even just one expression can be the key for them to defeat you."

"Have you heard of the Joker?"

"I don't think anyone hasn't heard of him." Yang Le said seriously. He was the top dog in American comics, a guy who had been in the top three of the villain list forever, and together with Batman, they were known as the black and white devils of the American comic world. The Joker is white (referring to his skin), and Batman is black (referring to the Dark Knight), and 'devil' refers to both of their mental states being abnormal (laughs).

"That's a very terrifying guy." Oliver folded his arms and tapped his fingers on his arm. "The thought of the old bat having to face that guy every day makes me admire him. If it were me, I might have gone crazy long ago."

'Maybe Batman was crazy from the start,' Yang Le thought, his face unchanged, practicing his newly learned poker face.

"Of all the bad guys who fit the characteristics I've mentioned, the Joker is undoubtedly the most terrifying one." Oliver glanced at the still unconscious Speedy, paying attention to the latter's condition.

"The Joker will find the softest part of your heart, then cut it open with his twisted sense of humor, and even suggest adding salt, calling it: a joke."

Oliver sighed and continued, "Fortunately, Batman has been suppressing him for so many years, but who knows how long this situation will last?"

Oliver's worries were correct. The Joker seemed to be living under Batman's cape like other villains, but when he got bored, he would break this peace and shatter the life that Batman had painstakingly glued together once again.

"I'm afraid that Star City will also have such a villain in the future." Oliver fixed his gaze on Speedy, his eyes filled with tenderness and worry. "I'm not afraid of any challenges myself, but I'm worried about Roy."

"He performed well during the previous mission, making me think I was just overthinking, but today's mission made me realize that he may not be ready yet."

A trace of wavering appeared in Oliver's expression. When Roy was caught by the Parasite Demon, he felt a hint of fear in his heart. Although Roy was just his adopted son, he already regarded him as his real family.

"Hopefully this injury will teach him a lesson." Oliver shook his head and took a deep breath.

Looking at this old father who was so worried about his child, Yang Le also fell silent. This kind of sincere emotion always moved people, but after a few seconds, his expression changed.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"I have an idea." The new DC idea king, Yang Le, said.

"What idea?" Green Arrow was a little dazed. Yang Le's leap was so big that he couldn't keep up with the other's train of thought.

"I can help you train Roy." The corners of Yang Le's mouth became harder to suppress than the Omega Beams. "Aren't you worried that Roy will lose his life because of impulsiveness and arrogance? I think we can put on a show, with me acting as the bad guy, to give him a profound lesson that he will never forget in his life."

Green Arrow stroked his beard, thinking about the feasibility of Yang Le's method. Actually, it's true, this method is indeed feasible.

Green Arrow took Speedy on missions with the intention of training him and helping him accumulate experience, but because the super villains were too dangerous, Green Arrow protected Speedy very well every time, not letting him face too much danger. This conflicted with his original idea, which was putting the cart before the horse.

Green Arrow had considered asking some colleagues for help, but they were all too familiar with each other. Not only would Speedy not feel a sense of crisis, but even the colleagues wouldn't be ruthless, making the training look like a game, which was useless.

But Yang Le was different. He wasn't a member of the Justice League, and Roy knew nothing about him, so maybe it could really play a training role.

'Wait.' Green Arrow paused. He suddenly thought, what if all the assistants in the Justice League participated?
