His teeth were squeaking. It wasn't that Malcolm didn't understand Lynn. On the contrary, Malcolm, who was born in the League of Assassins and has been walking in the dark world for more than 20 years, knew the invisible rules and operations in the dark world. The method is far beyond the scope of ordinary people’s understanding and understanding.
Ever since the last unpleasant encounter and sudden confrontation with Lynn, Malcolm had conducted a professional "consultation" with this scary guy who suddenly appeared in Star City.
First, he tried to use his status as a billionaire to make this deal, and the results were very unsatisfactory. His powerful money offensive rarely worked. No intelligence or mercenary company was willing to take his order. They even hung up the phone in a hurry just in the middle of listening to Malcolm's description.
This was true for several organizations in a row. Malcolm knew that he seemed to have found a terrible person.
With no other choice, Malcolm could only reluctantly use his Black Arrow identity to send out missions to several subordinate organizations that had done low-level intelligence spying for the Assassin's League.
One piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news is that this guy named Lynn Adrian did not appear suddenly. No matter how hard he tried to cover up, there were traces to follow and he could get some useful information. Moreover, his home field is not in Star City, but in Gotham.
The bad news is...the available intelligence all illustrates how terrifying and cruel this guy is.
He is a real devil, a guy who even the devils in hell will avoid.
Out of fear? Or perhaps because of other motives, Malcolm conducted a more detailed investigation of Lynn, and even took the opportunity to go to Gotham to discuss business matters to personally investigate the news about Lynn.
This time, he got more comprehensive information.
So he became even more desperate.
For half a year, Malcolm had been in constant fear, thinking that Lynn would run out from somewhere at any time and kill him.
Waiting for death is unspeakably painful, and Malcolm waited like this for half a year.
As a result, nothing happened.
Since then, Malcolm has gradually forgotten about Lynn's existence. After all, this is Star City, he has a big revenge to take, and his enemy Green Arrow is constantly interfering with him and fighting with him.
Malcolm never expected that just a year had passed, so long that he had almost forgotten Linn, so long that he felt that Linn had also forgotten his existence, Linn would be so... ordinary. Yes, on a clear night, he opened the door to his home, simply walked up the stairs, and closed the door smoothly.
Like, like really back home.
At this time, when facing Lynn again, Malcolm, who had remained calm and rational at first, once again recalled the fear of being dominated by Lynn.
At this moment, the fear has completely materialized, standing right in front of him.
And he knew that Lynn would not lie to him. He disdains it and there is absolutely no need to do so.
Because that's who he is. Life and death, to him, are just two forks in the road without signposts.
You can choose, you can choose. But, you must choose one, you must choose one and go on.
……………………
"Hey, you're sweating. Is it very hot today?"
Lynn still had a smile on his face, but Malcolm opposite him was not very relaxed. His eyes were dizzy, sweating profusely, and his legs were sore. Malcolm did not hide his fear.
"Stop shaking~"
Lin En was a little unhappy: "If you keep shaking, I'll go find your son!"
There have been many times when Malcolm said the same thing to his enemies. As a qualified villain, Malcolm has the consciousness and self-awareness that a villain should have. He never does things that whitewash the peace, and his bad side has clear edges. .
However, when he was threatened in the same way, Malcolm suddenly discovered that he was so weak and vulnerable.
He actually had the urge to kneel down and pray, begging Linn to let his son go, let go of his daughter who he hadn't met yet and didn't know where she was.
"No kneeling!"
Linn suddenly seemed to have some energy. When Malcolm's legs bent uncontrollably, he suddenly said in a voice like thunder: "I came to Star City to do only three things!
look at the map! Blame the navigation! Call a taxi! "
After saying these strange words, he seemed to have completed some bizarre performance art, smiling smugly and looking quite happy.
However, Malcolm still couldn't laugh.
After Lin En's extremely sudden voice, Lao Ma stopped his subconscious "surrender" behavior and straightened his knees. However, he was still afraid, but he regained some sense.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"ah?"
Lynn looked at Malcolm with confusion and clear stupidity in his eyes, as if he had forgotten what he was here for.
"Oh yes! I'm here to threaten you!"
With a slap on the thigh, Lynn almost knocked Malcolm to his knees again.
It hurts, he was really cruel.
"When we last met, you were wearing... Anyway, you were wearing something quite inhumane.
But, I still recognized you. Tommy, he is your son, I know this, I just met him.
Um...that's not important, cough! Anyway, I want to tell you something. "
Linn finally put away his ridiculous expression and became like a normal person. For no reason, Malcolm felt like he was... even scarier.
"I know what you want to do. You're not allowed to do that. No."
Looking at Malcolm's eyes that were trying hard not to dodge out of fear, Lynn simply said: "You want to kill everyone in the lower city, and you want to blow up and destroy that place.
no. "
His eyes were obviously stagnant for a second, and Malcolm seemed to gain inexplicable courage quickly from Lynn's words. He finally dared to really look into Lynn's eyes and shouted excitedly: "Why! !!Why do you say that! Do you know what happened to me!! Do you know the hatred and pain I carry!!"
"Know."
Compared with the hysterical Malcolm, Lynn, the madman, is obviously more calm and calm.
He picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass. After taking a sip, he calmly replied: "That's why you are alive."
Rolling his eyes, Lin seemed a little impatient. He twisted his neck twice on the seat, changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued: "According to my habits, according to my... way of doing things.
Killing you is obviously easier, simpler, and more effective.
From there, shoot and boom, you're dead. "
Lynn pointed at the window and pointed further away: "Whether it's your son or your daughter, if they know it, they will die. If they don't know it, I will tell them the story once, and they will know it, and then , also died.
You see, isn't this very convenient? "
"You...! You can't do this!"
"I can."
"you……!"
"I can do it! I'll make you so angry!"
Of course, when Lynn stood up with his neck stiffened, he still felt very oppressive, which also helped Malcolm regain his sanity.
So, he sat back in the chair slumped and murmured to himself: "You can't... you can't do this..."
"Tsk~"
Lynn shook his head: "I said, I know why you want to do that. Frankly speaking, I don't know those people at all, I don't owe them anything, and I have never accepted any employment.
I say this not out of sympathy, nor do I want to seek any kind of justice.
I just want to say that you have affected too much. "
That's just the way it is.
"Some people don't know you or your wife at all, and there are even people who have moved from other places over the years, just because they live there and because they are also part of the slums, so Does he owe you anything?!
Why are you so awesome! Star City does not allow such awesome people to exist!
The more you talk about the special code, the angrier you get. I have been aroused by you in my previous life. Today I must..."
Linn still didn't make a move in the end. He felt that it was boring for Malcolm to lie there like a dead man and be beaten and killed. Besides, what if he is really beaten to death~
"Malcolm."
Lynn called his name, but there was no response.
So, Lynn stood up and left. When he was standing on the window and about to jump down, Malcolm looked away from his dark world and returned to the real world.
"You...won't you kill me..."
"No. You seem completely determined to die. So, I'm going to kill your son and daughter."
"No!"
"Hey hey hey~ I tricked you~~~"
……………………
Whether communicating with Lin En or being hostile, the psychological pressure is sometimes not something that ordinary people can bear.
This thing is not entirely due to the oppression of combat power, which is really sad.
Lin En went up to the window and didn't come down. One leg was dangling outside the window, leaning against the solid wood window frame. It was cool and comfortable.
In the room, Malcolm felt human again, unlike just now, a bit like a zombie, completely inhuman.
"You, what do you want me to do."
After remembering her for 20 years and hating her for 20 years, Malcolm would never let go of his love and concern for his wife so easily, nor would he let go of the hatred in his heart that had lasted for twenty years.
However, he had to think about the living people and his son and daughter.
Linn is different from any enemy he has faced before. First of all, he is not a kind guy. He will really attack Tommy with that person!
Therefore, Malcolm did not dare to gamble, and he did not dare to disobey Lynn's instructions at all, because he had no chance of winning and no means of counterattack.
Even, he knew in his heart that he didn't even have the ability to die together with Lin En.
"That's right~"
Lynn looked very happy, staring at the moon outside, smiling happily: "Malcolm, do you understand me."
Slowly raising his eyelids, Malcolm stared at Linn, staring at the seemingly innocent smiling face bathed in the silver moonlight, as if he wanted to see through Linn's heart.
"I'm asking you something."
"what on earth do you want!"
"...I'll jump off the building to kill your son..."
"I understand! I bought your information! I hired someone to investigate you! I caught a guy you let go! I went to Gotham to investigate you myself!
Are you satisfied? ! "
"Why are you like a groupie? How old are you and still doing this?
It's really...the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Stupid. Now that you know something about me, why don't you think about why I kept your life, why I came all the way from Gotham to talk to you so much nonsense, to explain to you and to pretend to be a bad guy to stimulate you. Your turning back is really stressful for a decent person like me. Who am I working so hard for? ! "
Um? ? ! !
Malcolm was stunned again. Really, there were too many inconsistencies in this passage.
You... dare to claim to be a decent person...
Oh, if you are a decent person, then I will be a special code philanthropist! Batman is the special Santa Claus!
You are still a decent person...
Suddenly, Malcolm seemed to think of something and seemed to understand something.
"You... sympathize with me?"
"Hey~ you seem to have never been to school. Think again."
"you……"
After thinking for a moment, Malcolm's eyes lit up: "You mean, I can do what you do?"
"Hmm~"
Lin En nodded: "I didn't say that you can't take revenge. In fact, you are rich and powerful, you have a strong fighting force, and you are backed by the Assassin's League...
I don't believe you can find the real murderers, the people who were helped by your wife and watched her die innocently and tragically. "
Malcolm looked gloomy, Linn indeed knew everything.
"Can……"
He was a little confused: "How...should I do it? I've looked for it, I really have, but..."
"Stupid. Stupid. Extremely stupid!"
Lin En was furious: "You can even get my information with your special code, so why bother finding a few ordinary people who have made a fortune? Your brain...
Pretending to be wearing all the special codes is shit! "
With a pop, Malcolm knelt down to Linn sincerely and hit his head heavily on the ground.
"Please... help me."
"I'm just a soft-hearted person and I can't bear to see this."
Lin En said this, lying on the window sill without even moving: "If you can't find it yourself, you can mobilize more people~ If you want to find people who break the law and commit crimes, you can use people who break the law and commit crimes to find them, right?" .
There are many such people in Star City. I've tried it, and it's so easy to find someone! "
"You mean..."
"You can understand what I said."
Another hard knock.
Malcolm knelt on the ground: "But Green Arrow..."
"Ah, that's okay."
Lin En said very casually: "If you don't go against him, find him honestly, admit your mistakes when you should, and beg for mercy when you should, I believe he will understand you."
"how come……"
"Why not. I told him about your revenge for your wife. With his temperament, he might be sympathizing with you right now.
Maybe, I'll knock on the door to find you soon. "
"……ah?"
"Ah, what, you saved your life, found hope for revenge, lost the threat of Green Arrow, and got a daughter out of thin air...
You take all the good things. Do you think it’s easy for me to help you so much? "
hiss……
It seems, indeed...
"Give me some hard-earned money, just tens of millions, I won't mind it."
"Ah...ah, okay, okay...that...that daughter of mine you mentioned..."
"Oh, that's Shia. Shia Quinn."
"……ah?"
"Well. You killed the man who was called your father for more than ten years, and then became his father yourself. You are really cruel. Be careful of her brother beating you...
Well, her brother, her brother, is Green Arrow. "
"……ah??"
Pulling the check out of Malcolm's hand, Lynn jumped back out of the window and looked back: "Malcolm, I'm just leaving Star City, not dead. You'd better remember this."
Let’s go~~! "
Leap. Linn disappeared into the night sky.
In the room, Malcolm was still stunned.
"Xia...is my daughter...
Then her brother...
Wait a minute……
Tommy is Green Arrow? ! ! ! "
