What bad intentions could Batman have?

"You..." When his father was mentioned, the actor who was performing on the stage just now had a fierce light flash in his eyes, but only half a second later, he showed a blank look on his face.

Chen Tao didn't expect that he had given Aquaman such a serious stimulus, but he was still pretending. He originally wanted to prevent Aquaman from pretending to be stupid, so he deliberately said something that would make the other party angry to induce him to expose himself.

But it was obvious that Aquaman saw through this and still tried to fool Chen Tao and others to believe that he was wrong-or did he think he was cheating him?

Chen Tao turned his head and looked at Supergirl: "Madam, do you know what to do?"

"Yes. I know." Supergirl nodded, and then the next second.

Boom!

The bar.

It exploded.

"No! Aren't you superheroes? Look at what you have protected! Why am I the one who was injured?"

The bar owner was like a bereaved mother. He rushed over and tried to grab a decorative statue in his store, but then he saw Supergirl flying to another angle, and her hot eyes bypassed his palm and directly burned the statue into ashes.

"No!!!"

The bar owner burst into tears: "What happened?"

It was fine at first, how come it suddenly...

"Stop it! That's my favorite drink!"

Finally, Aquaman Arthur, who had pretended to be himself on stage to perform tuna-sucking, could no longer pretend.

He hurriedly waved his trident and intercepted a beam of heat from Supergirl's direction to the wine cabinet in the air. Then he realized that he was exposed and could only smile bitterly:

"I didn't expect you guys to be so..."

He couldn't go on. He turned his head, and the man with long blond hair and beard looked at him in surprise, and then a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face:

"Oh my God, you...you...you are...you asked me to work as a security guard in the tavern, and then hinted to others that I was Aquaman, calling myself Arthur...

All this was to cover you up, you...you are the Aquaman in the fishermen's legend..."

"You...you also told me to follow your orders, deliberately let some smart people who found out that I was fake suspect you, and then suddenly broke out that both of us were fake, in order to achieve the purpose of whitewashing and hiding your own identity...too smart, once people confirm that I am a fake Aquaman, they will subconsciously think that you are also fake...and this is exactly your purpose!"

"Yes, it's me. Hug Sorry. "The real Aquaman, the one without long hair and beard, who looked as young as a young man in his early 20s, Arthur, who had just played the role of himself fucking a tuna on the stage, pointed at Chen Tao and his group apologetically and said: "They have been checking my whereabouts. In order to continue to keep my information channels on land, I had to play such a trick to deceive you. I'm really sorry." The blond bearded man was still muttering to himself: "I really didn't expect it... I really didn't expect it! I had some guesses, such as you never need to take off your golden contact lenses... But when I thought that Aquaman was willing to participate in the funny skit of Aquaman fucking a tuna, I felt that it was not you, but I didn't expect... Who could have thought of this?" Aquaman Arthur's face darkened when he heard it. Connor was full of question marks. Supergirl Kara couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She explained in a low voice: "The real Aquaman is the actor who played the Aquaman on the stage just now. He found a bearded blond man who called himself Arthur to pretend to be the Aquaman and claimed that all this was a show. Do you understand?"

The owner of the tavern was still crying out: "My tavern! Woohoo!"

Aquaman Arthur helped him up from the ground and put him on a chair.

Then he turned his head.

A very different demeanor spread from him from when he was hiding in the crowd just now:

"So... after dealing with me and my friend, it's your turn next. Even if you want to find me, you shouldn't use the loss of the tavern owner as a price. This is not a heroic act. "

"The loss of this tavern will be taken care of by someone later, and the compensation will be enough for you to build 10 new taverns. "

Chen Tao walked up to the tavern owner: "This town has network and signal. You can check your bank account now. The money has arrived now. "

"! ”

The tavern owner took out his cell phone and took a look at it. He was immediately overjoyed and performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance on the spot.

He kicked the glass of the bar in front of him and broke it: "Burn! Burn it as you like! Burn well, burn well! Burn loudly! Great! I'm rich!!! This overwhelming wealth has finally fallen on my head!"

Then he actually twisted his fat belly in public and danced a happy belly dance in ecstasy.

A guest in the tavern leaned over and took a look at the amount of money transferred to the boss, and the whole person was stunned.

"..." Aquaman stood next to the dancing tavern owner and felt like an idiot. He took a deep breath and stumbled and said: "Uh... but even this is not what a hero would do. You shouldn't smash the store first and then..."

Then he was grabbed by the arm by the tavern owner who was halfway through dancing:

"No! It should be! It should be! I wish I could encounter such a thing every month! Hey, I'm a rich man! "Ah!!" The bar owner ignored Aquaman and took out his cell phone with excitement, calling his family: "Brother, our family is rich!"

"It's time for us to talk." Chen Tao turned around and said to Aquaman Arthur.

They walked outside the tavern, and Superboy Connor tried to stop the curious people in the tavern, but those drunken drinkers ignored Connor's obstruction.

They took advantage of his inattention and climbed over the guardrail, trying to get close to Aquaman Arthur and Chen Tao who were discussing things. After being dragged back by Connor, they dared to do it again next time, so Connor could only use his super speed to send the idle people who kept getting close to that side back to their original position like a porter.

"It's useless."

Supergirl Kara curled her lips and said beside him.

"?"

Connor, who was working hard and doing stupid work, was a little angry when he heard it: "What can you do?"

"Watch me." Supergirl flew directly over the crowd who refused to change their ways, and then her golden hair was flying in the biological stand:

"All of you stay behind!!! Otherwise I will shoot you to death with lasers!!! Damn it!!! You bunch of unruly people!!! I will shoot all of you to death with lasers!!!"

Superboy Connor was stunned and looked at Supergirl Kara who came down from the sky leisurely, and the crowd behind her who were as quiet as cicadas.

"..."

"You know." Kara stretched out a finger and turned it on her forehead:

"Sometimes, you have to have some bat thinking."

"But...but your reputation will be..."

Then he saw Supergirl walking to the edge of the crowd with the look of a girl next door: "Sorry, everyone, after all, I have to maintain order..."

Then she took out a book in front of everyone, and it said:

"From Arkham to the Batcave: How to Become Batman's Favorite Robin"

The subtitle below is:

Baso Carroll's Youth Robin Diary, a righteous life does not need explanation!

(Note: Baso Caro is the original name of Mudface. This book first appeared in Chapter 79 and has now been passed down to Kara.)

Kara said softly:

"I saw in the operating manual that necessary measures were required to scare everyone! Don't be angry, everyone."

"Huh?" Connor said: "Do you think that this will..."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

"We are also wrong. We shouldn't have said it and still wanted to go on... Sorry, sorry, sorry..."

"The fierce Super Girl is cute."

Sent. Connor looked numbly at the drunkards and idlers in the tavern.

Why? Who put me back in the petri dish, quickly.

And Chen Tao's side...

"...We have nothing to talk about. I don't have time to help you deal with any alien visitors now." Aquaman Arthur said honestly: "Atlantis is already annoying enough for me."

He stretched out his rough fingers like a fisherman, and Chen Tao noticed that there were many calluses in his palms caused by holding weapons for many years.

Although the dock boy is not a well-trained warrior like Wonder Woman Diana Prince, he is also a master of long-handled weapons.

Many people often ignore Aquaman Arthur's personal combat ability because of his identity as the king of Atlantis, and even take the jokes and skits seriously, which is absolutely a complete mistake.

Not everyone has the ability to punch Superman dozens of meters away (Aquaman V8) or confront Wonder Woman Diana head-on.

Most people who beat Clark Diana will only knock sparks or break their own bones. Being able to be among the seven giants of the Justice League and contribute a first-line villain of the Aquaman system like Black Manta proves the strength of Aquaman.

Aquaman Arthur stretched out his fingers and pulled them off one by one:

"The Atlantean opposition organization [Flood Beast], I don't know if they were responsible for the attack, and... Black Manta."

He said: "Black Manta came to me with great fanfare before, and he told me that he wanted me to witness him destroy Atlantis."

He said:

"He is a madman, because of the personal hatred between him and me, he took his anger out on the entire city-state where millions of Atlanteans live. He is a threat to the entire Atlantis."

Arthur said: "I must guard Atlantis. Tis, to prevent possible problems. "

"Wrong." Chen Taorui commented: "This is why you always can't get it done. We need more pioneering ideas, more imaginative and creative plans. Get to the point and kill with one blow. "

Without waiting for Aquaman Arthur to continue, Chen Tao continued: "I came to ask you for something called the Mother Box... In exchange, I will help you solve these problems. "

"I don't need your help, I can..."

"Oh, poor Aquaman Arthur." Chen Tao said.

"Your mother is a member of the Atlantis royal family, and your father is a surface dweller, a lighthouse keeper.

What does it feel like for a person's origin story to sound like a sailor's song? You come from these two worlds, but you don't belong to either side, and you are therefore not accepted by either world. "

"What do you want to say?"

"But despite not being understood, ridiculed, and ignored, you still persisted. You rushed to protect the land and the sea, just like your father's lighthouse in his later years. You watched the coastline, protecting the dry land from the angry ocean and keeping the ocean away from the green land."

Aquaman Arthur was silent. He would never tell others about this, but everything he did was told by Batman, who he met for the first time.

"I sympathize with you and your unfinished business very much." Chen Tao said.

"You are sure that you are working hard for a better and safer world. You are undoubtedly a superhuman, one of the best heroes. You are a king and rule a country, but those people on land see you as a joke or a threat."

"Most Atlanteans hate your rules. You fight every day to maintain the interests of both your parents' worlds."

"When war and all the struggles surround you, there is no doubt that you believe in peace, and in fact fish will not even talk to you."

"I have lost my patience..." said Aquaman Arthur: "Telling what I did will not change anything."

He was silent for a while: "The tradition of hatred for land people in Atlantis is older than the history of the founding of the United States. And I am also well aware of the government's fear of Atlantis."

He forced a smile and said: "Let's get straight to the point. If I understand correctly, you are Batman, and those enemies from other worlds want to capture the earth. You need something called the Mother Box that is guarded by us Atlanteans?"

Although he knew that the other party was just simply telling the fact that he did those things, Arthur still felt a little relieved. This passage brought them closer.

For a long time, everything he did was not understood and hated by both sides.

The people of the Hongshou Organization called him the false king, although he did not tell anyone... even his beloved wife Meila, but it still hurt him.

And Batman...

Maybe he is one of the few people who will evaluate his actions fairly.

"I will give you what you need, but correspondingly, I am really too busy to join your team."

Aquaman Arthur said: "So I'm sorry, I..."

"I plan to build an embassy for Atlantis and then completely establish diplomatic relations with the United States."

"?"

"You are trying hard to bring Atlantis to the world stage, and you also want the world that breathes the air to accept this ocean kingdom that she fears at the root, right?"

"I can help you do this."

Aquaman's eyes lit up.

"I can also help you solve the troubles you are facing now, clarify all the misunderstandings between you and the government, and promote the normalization and regularization of exchanges between the two countries. And..."

"You mean the Atlantean opposition organization [Hongshou]?"

"Yes, they are a group of secessionists who have been immersed for many years, but today they launched an attack." Aquaman said: "It's a turbulent time."

He paused, then said: "This is very unusual. Although it may be their spontaneous behavior, it may also be driven by a third force. I have more opponents than friends."

"The interrogation will tell us the truth." Chen Tao said: "Then it's a happy decision."

"I will be your helper to help you solve the current problems of Atlantis, and then promote the establishment of the embassy."

He said: "And you, you have to give me the mother box, then join my team, and save the world with us."

He stretched out his hand to Aquaman: "So, deal?"

In the somewhat damp and cold air and warm sunshine at the seaside, Aquaman held Chen Tao's hand.

"Deal!"

...

...

...

N.E.M.O organization meeting hall

Black Manta was fighting.

There were already seven or eight corpses lying at his feet, and a dozen soldiers in high-tech armor were besieging him, but they were no match for him.

Black Manta's figure kept jumping out of the golden space vortex he created, and then jumped back in and disappeared.

It seemed that Black Manta had found a new power... or equipment.

"Uh ah!!!"

Black Manta held the harpoon with his backhand, pulled it out of a soldier's chest, and then inserted it into another person's chest, and then not far away, he saw a soldier pointing a gun at him.

"You bastard..." (Italian)

Black Manta's eyes flashed coldly, and the hot crimson laser condensed at the launch port on his helmet.

Bang!

With a gunshot, Black Manta turned his head and Black Jack raised the gun that was still smoking.

"Your lasers will turn this place into ruins." She said to Black Manta, "Let me do it."

A few minutes later, Black Manta sat in the main seat, surrounded by N.E.M.O. Group people.

All those who dared to resist and their soldiers had been killed just now.

"Anything else?"

"So... are you in charge of N.E.M.O. Group now?" Someone at the conference table raised his hand and asked.

"N.E.M.O has existed as a secret society for more than a century. The management has risen to the top by their own skills, just like a group of pirates. Only the strong can survive." Black Manta put his ten fingers together, and his body leaned forward slightly, showing his streamlined biceps and chest muscles. Even if he didn't deliberately design the action, he still looked full of the beauty of power. The tubes that conduct energy from the backpack on his back to the helmet fluttered like wings on the back of his head. "I killed your fisherman, and now I am the fisherman. Black Jack is your second-in-command, and she realized that following me is the right and wise choice." "Sometimes it takes a price to recognize the situation." Black Jack added beside him. "So... unless you still have objections." Black Manta said, "Then start working." He turned to ask a leader in the hall. "Can anyone tell me how far the N.E.M.O. Group's plan to deal with Aquaman Arthur Curry has progressed?"

"I... We disguised ourselves as Atlanteans to attack the USS Pontchartrain in the South Atlantic, which was commissioned by the Navy in March this year. Soon, we, the Atlanteans, will announce to the United States that Atlantis is responsible for this."

"At that time, we will release the monster called the Hairy Man given to us by a cooperative ally called [Outsiders].

"We will use it as a pioneer, take us disguised as American soldiers to attack Atlantis, and then cause as many casualties as possible to provoke the militant faction in Atlantis that hates the land people to start a war."

The leader flipped through the information in his hand.

"Very good, very good. You know what? You did a great job, which is one of the reasons why I took the trouble to join you: such a good thing cannot be done by me."

Black Manta nodded with satisfaction.

"These plans can make Aquaman painful, so how far has the plan progressed now? "

"The plan is carried out simultaneously and has started a few hours ago."

"So what were you going to do originally?"

"We are going to induce the US government and the Atlanteans to go to war."

"Simply put, after we seize the aircraft carrier, we will use it to launch nuclear bombs, and then the United States will take the initiative, and then we will send people to attack Atlantis, and Atlantis will also start a war, and then..."

"And if the Justice League does not intervene, Atlantis and the United States will both suffer losses? No, no, no..."

Black Manta rejected:

"Such a thing will not happen, this plan is completely unworkable."

"Then what should we do?"

"It's very simple." Black Manta said: "We fight fast. Don't think about letting Atlantis and the United States fight a protracted war and then both suffer losses. I bet Batman will use means such as kidnapping hostages to force both sides to cease fire, such as kidnapping the US president in front of the Atlanteans to clarify misunderstandings. "

"Kidnap...kidnap hostages? Batman? "The leader of N.E.M.O. almost didn't figure out who the villain was: "I... none of us would do such a crazy thing. Are you sure he would really do it?" "So you are a third-rate villain and a third-rate villain organization." Black Manta commented sharply. He then continued: "We need more pioneering ideas, more imaginative and creative plans. Get to the point and kill with one blow. Only Batmind can defeat Batmind!" Then he said: "We have to do it before Batman can react. The US war response procedure is much faster than that of the Atlanteans. We first make the Americans believe that they are attacked and then cut off the connection between the US President and various departments. Then help the United States quickly attack Atlantis before Atlantis reacts. Use a nuclear bomb to break their energy shield at one time and kill at least 70% of Atlantean civilians, but leave the most elite war forces of Atlantis. "Then he asked the leader of the N.E.M.O organization next to him: "Do you understand?" "?" "The poor leader was about to cry: "I... I..."

"How stupid."

Black Manta said:

"I mean to turn the long-term tug-of-war you originally planned into a decapitation battle in which the United States, with our help and leadership, will kill Atlantis with one blow."

"Do you understand?"

The leader listened and cursed in his heart.

Fuck you.

"It doesn't matter whether you understand or not, I understand." Black Manta said:

"No one understands Batman better than me!"
