I Become Deathstroke

Chapter 807: Chapter 763: A Hearty Meal

Because of the blackout in Gotham, the restaurant could only be lit by candlelight. It actually created quite an atmosphere, except that much of the floor and decorations around were still damp.

After a brief conversation about the Teen Titans, the topic quickly shifted to more important matters, namely the Totality and the Destruction Legion.

So despite how romantic the candlelit dinner seemed, both of them wore solemn expressions.

"To be honest, what’s inside the Totality, I don’t know, but I can sense that it’s definitely a Multiverse-level living entity."

Su Ming raised his glass and lightly clinked it with Diana’s, taking a polite sip before answering the question Diana cared most about.

"You don’t know any more...?"

Diana looked a bit disappointed; she wasn’t in the mood to savor the red wine like Su Ming.

Su Ming nodded and began cutting the rib-eye steak, skillfully removing the bone with the silverware in his hands. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Last time, I entered the Totality with Killer Crocodile, and inside it’s like another world, filled with all kinds of monsters. As you said, last time Superman and Ron went inside and encountered the Origin Wall Giant. Putting it all together, we can conclude that its power level is definitely not low."

The Female Hero never held onto false hopes. She knew the Totality was incredibly powerful, but she just wanted to know what secrets inside it could drive Batman so mad in his pursuit.

As long as they didn’t know what was inside, Batman wouldn’t stop taking risks, and it wasn’t just a gamble with his own life, but also with the whole Justice League.

"Who do you think might know?" Diana asked again. Deathstroke had no intel, but someone in the cosmos must know.

Su Ming stroked his beard, resting his elbow on the table, as the white tablecloth took on a warm, orange-red hue in the candlelight:

"Luthor’s research on the Totality is undoubtedly superior, so the Destruction Legion likely holds more intel. If there’s any you can access, getting it from Cheetah might be easier."

"She..." Diana looked conflicted.

"Aren’t you frenemies? Say something nice, negotiate some terms, maybe she can be swayed." Su Ming offered advice. It would be best if Cheetah could be turned.

Diana poked at the meat on her plate, the knife and fork clinking against the white porcelain: "Last time I nearly killed her, stabbed her in the abdomen; her guts were probably severed."

"Isn’t that just right? Didn’t she want to die at your hands?"

"She used to want me to kill her, but I couldn’t bear to do it, so she thought I was deceiving her and turned mad, now she only wants to kill me." Diana covered her face; she really couldn’t kill the Big Cat, with those fluffy ears and tail...

Su Ming nodded, understanding that the lead with Cheetah was a dead end.

Hal wasn’t on Earth either, and no one could sway the proud Sinestro. As for Gorilla Grud, forget it; he only wanted to kill Barry, nothing else.

And Circe was well-hidden, the Inverted Man couldn’t find her, perhaps she used the residual Energy of Hecate to cast spells that bypassed the Inverted Man’s detection.

"That means, in the end, we’re left waiting for news from Joker." Su Ming leaned back in his chair, quietly watching Diana.

Wonder Woman frowned. Joker was the second-in-command of the Destruction Legion; would he really side with the Justice League?

"But..."

"I know what you want to say. Joker indeed won’t side with the Justice League, but he will with Batman. As long as the Mad Laugh remains hidden in the Darkness, Joker won’t sleep peacefully. The game belongs to Batman and him, and if Mad Laugh wants to interfere, then he’s Joker’s enemy."

Su Ming said matter-of-factly. This was inevitable, and perhaps not only he could see it; maybe Batman was also waiting for Joker.

"So, as an ally of Mad Laugh, Luthor must also be hated by Joker?"

"Exactly, although we haven’t heard any news about Joker falling out with the Destruction Legion, I personally think Joker and Luthor were never on the same path." Su Ming stood up, his Batman uniform enveloping him once more: "Madness is not Destruction; an Ordinary world is too boring for Joker."

Diana looked regretfully at the leftover food; it was such a waste, but quickly a black shadow swept across the table, and the dishes looked as if they’d been licked clean.

She knew that ’high-tech nano transformation equipment’ wasn’t real equipment, but she was too lazy to study a blob of black mud: "So where do we find Joker?"

Su Ming shrugged, and his cape flew in from the door: "Joker is the most unpredictable; only he can find you, not the other way around. And I guess if he’s left the Destruction Legion, he’ll contact Batman without anyone noticing."

Diana revealed a faint smile: "Then..."

"Don’t even think about it; Batman won’t let you know. Maybe they’ve already been in contact?" Su Ming smiled and shook his head silently.

"That guy!" Diana puffed her cheeks, angrily squeezing the sword hilt.

Once again, she took everything Su Ming said as true. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Su Ming pushed open the restaurant door, stepping onto the damp steps outside: "Don’t be mad, come on, shall we go dance at Two-Faced Man’s nightclub?"

Diana didn’t move; she looked into Su Ming’s eyes: "Can you help us?"

"Of course, I’m a Mercenary; if the job’s suitable, I naturally won’t refuse." Su Ming nodded straightforwardly. With Diana’s invitation, he could justifiably get involved.

But Diana opened her mouth; she really had no money, which was her weakness.

Paradise Island is just a small island; the region once governed by the Olympian Pantheon used Drachma, but not Paradise Island.

The Amazons on the island have no concept of money at all. Although they have a Queen as a ruler, they actually live a life of communal labor and sharing.

If there’s anything special, they can barter for it, money is useless.

Diana has lived in human society for many years, yet she majored in classical art, spending money like water each year, reluctant to sell her sculptural works, resulting in no real savings.

Even her laptop was purchased a few years ago because she needed it for communication. Her skills were just limited to browsing the internet, watching dramas, occasionally using social software, typing adorably with two fingers.

If the computer got infected by a virus or trojan, Steel Bone had to connect to the network to fix it; she had no solution herself, trailing far behind Donna in this aspect.

Her lack of a concept of money or interest in it meant that while she wasn’t as poor as Barry, she just lived an Ordinary life.

She knew of the previous transactions between Deathstroke and Batman, involving millions of US Dollars at the very least.

So, under the bright moonlight, though she might never have heard of the saying ’a penny stumps a hero,’ she still found herself awkwardly hesitant due to an empty purse.

Su Ming squinted his eyes, and before she could ask him for help for free, he casually asked a question.

"How’s your relationship with the Green Arrow Hero?"
