The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 99 51. At least one must be killed! Otherwise, my revenge will not be a joke?--[3450]

"Shua"

The rolling shutter door of Mason's store was opened, and the small store was revealed in front of Poison Ivy.

Harley was quite familiar with this place, so she walked in with her patient and friend. Probably thinking that she would live here for a long time, she took the initiative to pick up a vacuum cleaner and started cleaning the upper and lower floors.

I feel ashamed to say it.

Mason originally opened this small shop to make himself look like a normal person and have a place to stay, but his time living here was numbered.

In fact, Mason hasn't slept for a long time since the introduction of vitality potions.

At this time, he stayed outside the store and looked at the Crime Alley behind him. This was an area with poor security in Gotham City, and it was naturally one of the sources of chaos in tonight's chaos.

There are still burning embers on the street, and several nearby stores have experienced "zero dollar shopping".

However, not far away, there was a large group of guys tied to telephone poles. Judging from their bruised faces and unconscious appearance, they must have been a superhero who "passed by" and cleaned up the place.

"beep"

The old cell phone that Mason put in his pocket and was given by Alfred vibrated. He took it out, looked at it and connected it. Kite Man's low voice came from it.

"Boss, Mr. Sandstorm seems to be dead."

"Huh? It seems?"

Mason raised his eyebrows:

"Elaborate."

"I was gliding over at a high altitude and saw him being trapped by Green Arrow and Batman using some kind of magnetic field weapon. When he couldn't break free, he was punched through the wind and sand by The Flash with a fast punch.

Then he detonated some kind of bomb.

Turning an entire neighborhood into a desert-like scene, he himself turned into a sand sculpture and collapsed when the wind blew.

Now the Green Arrow is cleaning up the battlefield there, and the Flash is helping Commissioner Gordon maintain order in the city. It is said that the nearby National Guard is about to enter the city.

Mr. Bat seems to have left in an emergency."

As if it was a live broadcast, Kite Man recounted what he saw in a tone that was not too big to watch.

Mason pursed his lips and felt a little more relaxed, but he felt that Mr. Sandstorm didn't seem like a reckless man. He felt that this matter might not be over yet.

So he said to the kite man:

"You come to my cabin to meet up first. Leave the Iceberg Bar alone for the time being and go back after these things have passed."

"I have to go see my son first, boss."

The kite man said apologetically:

"When I left, I left him in Poison Ivy's secret base. There are many people she saved there. I will go to your place in the early morning."

"Alright."

Mason has no objection to this.

He knew that for Charles now, his teenage son was his lifeblood.

After completing the communication with Kite Man, Mason returned to the basement of the shop and began to make a batch of "treatment kits" for Poison Ivy, including demulcents, euphorias and tranquilizers.

He also asked Poison Ivy why this potion worked so much better on her than on others.

Poison Ivy guessed that it might be because she has a closer inner connection with nature, so this potion, which does not add modern chemicals and is closer to the essence of nature, can produce several times the effect on her and last longer than ordinary people.

long.

This phenomenon made Mason very curious.

He planned to find a way to study Poison Ivy's peculiar physique when he had some free time, which might also be a breakthrough for him in alchemy.

Poison Ivy watched the entire alchemy process in the basement. She was very interested in the ancient knowledge displayed by Mason, and Mason was willing to teach.

But Ivy does not have a "personal manufacturing cheat" system. Just the obscure introductory formula of alchemy requires her to study for a long time.

The combination and effectiveness of various herbal medicines are even more of a big pitfall.

However, this girl's ability to ripen plants makes her very suitable to be the person in charge of the potion field that Team K is preparing. After witnessing with her own eyes Ivy used ten minutes to ripen a batch of water chestnut seeds until they germinate.

After showing off her magical ability, Mason looked at Poison Ivy with even more intense eyes.

He has begun to seriously consider the possibility of recruiting Ivy to join the gang.

"Mason, we have guests."

Dr. Harley's slightly panicked shout came from outside the door, interrupting Mason's alchemy teaching to Poison Ivy.

He raised his eyebrows and stood up and walked out of the basement. He was still thinking about who would come to patronize his shop at this dawn hour. Finally, he went up to the first floor and took a closer look.

Oh, familiar acquaintance.

"Hi, Mason."

The Flash, wearing a red tights and yellow combat boots, was holding a cup of coffee, leaning relaxedly on the counter of Cooper's store, and greeted the young man in a friendly manner.

Next to him, Dr. Harley was holding her cell phone and quietly trying to take a selfie with The Flash. She was obviously very interested in this superhero.

"Batman asked me to recover that extremely dangerous item from you."

The Flash took a sip of coffee and took a photo with Harley with a smile, and then explained to Mason:

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I have to take it to a safer place and keep it."

"This is as it should be."

Mason didn't show any dissatisfaction.

He and the Flash walked outside the shop and took out the biological virus missile from their magic suitcase, and said:

"Actually, even if you don't come, I will take the initiative to contact you. This thing has exceeded the limit that my engineering and alchemy can handle.

It's really very dangerous.

Especially the seven biological and chemical weapon warheads loaded inside."

The young man patted the gray slender missile next to him seriously and said to the Flash in front of him:

"My knowledge of alchemy tells me that once this thing is leaked, it will cause quite a terrible natural disaster, and perhaps even strong men like you who stand at the top of superheroes will not be able to withstand it.

I know you take it seriously, but I wish you'd take it more seriously."

"Yes, we will."

Flash nodded.

He put his hand on this cold weapon, and before activating the completely unscientific speed force and leaving, the young guy suddenly turned his head and said to Mason:

"I just met Mr. Lucius. He told me that the zombie virus vaccine sent by Star Laboratory was a great success, but I know that it was only a semi-finished product and that someone was secretly helping them.

Mason, can you tell me how you did it?"

The Flash asked with great interest:

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​adjusting the ratio of ingredients in the vaccine to make it more effective? To be honest, I was also involved in the development of that dose of vaccine sample. Maybe we can communicate in this regard?"

"Well, I think it might not work."

Mason looked at The Flash strangely.

He took out his irregular-shaped gray alchemy stone and said to the Flash:

"I use the ancient wisdom of alchemy.

This alchemy stone can extract all potion-like items. All I have to do is put it into your drug sample and wait for ten minutes, and it will inject the "magic power" into the drug.

Therefore, the successful development of the vaccine has nothing to do with me.

My friend, you! You are the real hero, The Flash."

"But you provided this crucial transformation, although it does sound unscientific."

The Flash stared closely at the gray alchemy stone in Mason's hand. The young man smiled, handed the alchemy stone that only had two uses left to the Flash, and said:

"Take it and study it, don't be embarrassed, this city owes you this. If you really succeed in your research, remember to give me a copy of the results."

"Ha, it's settled then."

The Flash laughed.

This young man, who is also known as the "Legend of Harmony" along with Green Lantern, waved his hand to Mason coolly, and then with a whoosh, he and the biological missile disappeared on the roadside of Crime Alley.

He also took away the gangsters and criminals who had been knocked unconscious and tied up by Green Arrow and sent them back to where they belonged.

"The Speed ​​Force."

Mason watched the Flash disappear in the direction and said with some fascination:

"If I can copy this ability, even if it's just a supersonic Mercedes-Benz, then I can have everything in my dreams."

He shook his head and turned back to the shop. He told Harley, who was taking a nap behind the counter, to have a rest. He then closed the rolling shutter door and planned to make more potions before going to work.

The city has just experienced a chaotic night, and Dr. Leslie's clinic will definitely be busy today.

Mason didn't want to miss this opportunity to develop emergency surgery skills.

——

"Ahem"

In the forest river on the outskirts of Gotham, Ms. Thalia, who had narrowly escaped death, was dragged out of the water by a pair of strong arms while coughing.

She hid in the water for nearly three hours to avoid the bat drones that had been hovering nearby, but this was also unbearable torture for a master assassin who had been stabbed three times by his love rival.

She had already started to have a high fever, and her whole body was weak and she had no strength at all.

Fortunately, I still have a companion by my side.

The Scarlet Knight, also known as Jason Todd, is in much better shape than Talia.

He was not seriously injured when he escaped from Arkham, but of course the beating he received from his master still left him covered in bruises and scars.

He took Thalia into a cave and made a fire, and took out the medicine he brought with him to treat the woman.

Because it was so wet, the whole process was called "sexy". However, Jason Todd showed no expression throughout the whole process, and even showed great restraint when giving Thalia first aid medicine.

He seemed to have no interest in the charming woman in front of him.

At dawn, Thalia finally woke up.

The after-effects of high fever are still making her very weak, but as the master of the Assassin's League and the daughter of the King of Assassins, her physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people and has even reached the threshold of "superhuman".

As long as her injuries are not fatal, she can recover in a few days.

Thalia, who was wearing a tattered cloak, sat up and saw Jason Todd sitting cross-legged by the campfire.

This young man no longer had the mania and anger he had when he was confronting the master before. He was now sitting beside the fire in despair, staring straight at the dancing flames in front of him.

It seems that he no longer cares about everything around him.

"Do you want to get out of here with me?"

Thalia coughed a few times and asked.

Jason didn't answer, and the assassin master said again:

"In your current situation, it is the best choice for you to go back to Nandarbat with me. Although my father is dead, he is immortal. We only need to wait patiently for him to be reborn in the Lazarus Pool and continue to lead us.

Jason, this failure is just "

"My cooperation with you has ended."

Jason said coldly:

"This is what we promised before! I didn't save you because I wanted to convey goodwill to the Assassin's League, but just because it's over between us, and that's not a good thing.

You can rest here, I'll leave right away, don't come to me again!

As long as your people dare to get close to me, you will bear the consequences!"

Thalia frowned at this answer.

She said coldly:

"We resurrected you, Jason. You will never repay this kindness in your lifetime! You have the mark of an assassin on your body, and you will always be one of us."

"Like Batman?"

Jason sneered and said:

"He also has your marks on him! But he shattered all your wild fantasies a few hours ago.

Thalia, you are just a group of losers. You may have been extremely prominent, but after the rise of Batman, you have never won a single victory in his hands!

I warned you before, those outsiders are not good partners.

They are just using you to achieve their goals. Even a young man like me can see the truth, but your father, who has lived for nearly nine centuries, is kept in the dark.

It turns out that the vision Batman taught me was far more useful than anything you taught me."

"Oh, Jason."

Thalia sighed and said:

"You think you have seen the truth of everything, but in fact you still don't understand anything.

Forget it, if you want to leave, just leave. You will continue to be entangled with that man in Gotham. I see loneliness and abandonment in your eyes.

The more you hate him, the more you desire him.

What a greedy and pitiful child.

But I have something to ask of you, not as the master of the League of Assassins, but as Thalia. Before I return to this city, I hope you will help me secretly look after my son.

Damian returned to his father's arms.

This has been something I have been planning, but fate has reached this point due to a combination of circumstances, and I will no longer try to reverse it."

"Batman will change him!"

Jason stood up and said:

"Just like he changed me, your son will eventually choose to leave you, Thalia. Because you are cold-blooded and are not a qualified mother at all."

"A young bird has to learn to fly alone. If he is able to get away from me, it only means that my son has finally grown up and is even better than I imagined.

I will only keep my sorrow to myself and wish my son great things in this world."

The master assassin smiled, remained silent for a few seconds and said to Jason:

"Want to come and give me a hug? Jason, this may be the last time we are alone together."

"Enough!"

Jason gritted his teeth and took a few steps back.

Looking at the woman with long hair in front of him, he said decisively:

"Forget those things! They were just things that shouldn't have happened when I was confused and confused when I was reborn! You are Damian's mother and Bruce's lover.

I shouldn't have done that!"

"hehe."

Thalia laughed meaningfully and said:

"You regard Batman as your father, and my relationship with him is equivalent to me being your Jason. Jason, you are really a duplicitous young man. I still remember that night when you called me in my arms.

The mother's helpless look is like a stubborn little bird that has not grown up.

Okay, don't look at me so angry.

I'm not kidding you anymore.

Tell me what are you going to do next?

I see endless anger in your eyes, and you seem to have transferred your hatred to another person. With all due respect, it seems unwise to make such a choice after just experiencing a failure."

"Mason Cooper!"

Scarlet Knight didn't hide it, he said:

"He ruined my duel with Bruce, he took away the power to execute the Joker from me, and he ruined my carefully prepared revenge!

Grayson, Tim, Barbara

They are both members of the Bat-family but Mason is not!

He had no reason to get involved in this matter, but he still rushed over to destroy it. This account must be settled clearly, and this is my new plan."

After saying that, Jason Todd left a few weapons in the cave, turned around and disappeared into the woods facing the dawn light.

Thalia rested for a few minutes, and after confirming that Jason had left, she picked up the communication device he left behind. The cunning master assassin dialed a number on it and waited patiently.

Ten seconds later, the communication was connected.

"Hello?"

Mason's voice sounded on the communicator, and Thalia stroked her long hair and said:

"Mason Cooper, I want to make a deal with you!"
