Chapter 207

~5 min read 883 words

The door in the room was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with silver hair walked in with a tray.

"Master, you're awake."

Looking at Bruce Wei En who had woken up, Alfred shouted joyfully.

"Alfred, I—"

"You have been missing for eight years, eight whole years; thank God you finally returned safe and sound!"

"What?"

Bruce Wei En was shocked and muttered: "I clearly only left for a few hours, at most no more than a day; how could—how could it be eight years?"

"Master, you have really been missing for eight years." Alfred, who put down the tray, looked at him with tears of joy.

Eight years, eight years—Bruce Wei En had a vague guess.

That Lord of the Void named Su Quan said that the location of the brawl arena was the end of the multiverse timeline; because of this reason, he had been "missing" for eight years.

Bruce Wei En looked at Alfred's white hair: "Thank you for your hard work, Alfred; you, you have grown old."

"Master, you haven't changed at all; you are still so young, so where have you been for these eight years, Master?"

"Where have I been? I went to the end of time and participated in an inexplicable competition."

Bruce Wei En muttered and got up, asking: "How did I come back?"

"A young man with an oriental face sent you back; he said you promised him 100,000 US dollars, and I gave it to him."

Bruce Wei En's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked: "When?"

"Last night."

Bruce Wei En asked again: "You gave him the money? Cash?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Bruce Wei En could almost be certain that the person who sent him back was the Lord of the Void, Su Quan.

And he shouldn't have left Gotham City yet!

Bruce Wei En didn't care about the 100,000 dollars that were cheated away; what he cared about was the purpose of the other party staying in Gotham City, or rather, staying in this world.

Also, the reason he sent him back eight years later!

"Tell me what happened in these eight years, and the changes in Gotham City in these eight years."

Bruce Wei En had to fill the blank of the eight missing years as soon as possible, and then—find him!

Flowers bloom on two branches, each representing a branch.

At this time, Su Quan was wandering on the streets of Gotham City.

Last time, because of time, he captured Bruce Wei En and left directly; Su Quan deeply agreed, so this time he naturally wanted to enjoy it properly.

For the five people in the first batch, no matter who became the champion, Su Quan would stay in their world for a period of time.

It was said before that they were all carefully selected, and the world each person belonged to was worth Su Quan spending some effort on.

Take this world, for example.

Bane, Catwoman, Miranda, were all his targets; he was also interested in the Batmobile and the Bat-pod.

Just a Batman, and not the Batman of the main world, couldn't satisfy Su Quan's appetite.

Yes, this Batman wasn't the Batman in the Justice League of the main world, but the one in the Batman trilogy.

The time Su Quan took him away was eight years ago, which was the time point when Batman had just solved the Joker and Two-Face Harvey Dent.

According to the plot, Batman took all the blame and maintained Harvey Dent's positive image in the public eye.

Afterward, Batman became a criminal wanted by the police and disappeared.

It wasn't until half a year later that Bruce Wei En, whose body was nearly disabled, had to put on the suit again because the League of Shadows represented by Bane and Miranda wanted to destroy Gotham, letting Batman return to the world.

Su Quan originally didn't intend to send Bruce Wei En back eight years later; after all, when traveling to worlds other than Marvel, he couldn't control the exact travel time.

But this time, it might be because Magik's teleportation ability was merged into the dimensional teleportation of the Incredible Man.

When traveling, he clearly felt more handy and in control, so he sent Bruce Wei En eight years later, which was now!

Walking on the street, Su Quan found that the simple folk customs of Gotham City were about the same as he imagined.

It was clearly morning now, and it was just sunny, but in the blink of an eye, it became overcast and oppressive.

Weird gothic buildings stood tall; although people were coming and going on the street, he didn't see many criminal events happening.

Perhaps it was too early?

After all, if idle gang members could get up early, they wouldn't have become gang members.

That's not right either; this sentence might hold true in other places, but in Gotham, which is almost synonymous with darkness, it's not necessarily true.

"Da da da—" the crisp sound of high heels came from behind Su Quan from far to near.

Su Quan hadn't turned his head yet when he smelled a faint fragrance drifting over, refreshing and heart-soothing.

A hand grabbed his arm from behind, followed by a tall figure coming into view, and a sweet voice followed.
