Chapter 153

"Cough cough."

A sudden cough startled Bruce Wayne, who quickly turned around.

"It's you!"

Looking at the young, repressed man before him, Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly recognized him.

"You are Su Quan, the father of El Kyle, the current president of Kyle International Group, and the mysterious boss of Void Agriculture and Husbandry Group!"

"You know him?"

Harman Wayne, also known as the Dark Knight Batman, looked at Bruce Wayne in surprise.

Bruce Wayne nodded. "I attended a dinner party hosted by the Kyle Group a while ago, and Al Kyle mentioned her father there, which is him."

"But strangely, her mother, Veronica Cale, has always been unmarried, and she and her mother rarely wear the same clothes as this Su Quan. I investigated it out of curiosity."

"Is he the person you're talking about?"

Dark Knight Batman nodded in agreement. Although he and Bruce Wayne were both Batmen, they would not act together in order to conceal their identities and avoid arousing suspicion.

Two grown men can't share everything with each other, so he really didn't expect Bruce Wayne to know about Su Quan's existence for this reason, and even want to investigate Su Quan.

It's quite normal that the Dark Knight Batman didn't expect this, because he's not 'Bruce Wayne' in this world, and he can't even be seen in the light, so he can't openly attend the banquet and naturally doesn't know what happened during the banquet.

There's also the reason why it's darkest under the lamp.

Su Quan hadn't contacted him for over twenty years. Over twenty years! If he didn't know that time meant nothing to Su Quan, he would have suspected that Su Quan had forgotten him.

He hadn't investigated Su Quan for so many years, so naturally he never imagined that Bruce Wayne, who had no connection with him, would get involved with Su Quan because of a business banquet!

Honestly, Dark Knight Batman thinks Bruce Wayne is even more paranoid and curious than he is!

What does it matter to you whether their parents are married or not? What does it matter to you whether they are rarely seen together as a family of three?

So you want to investigate them just because of that?

While you weren't wrong in terms of the outcome, because Su Quan is definitely the biggest anomaly in this world, no, in countless worlds, isn't your cause a bit too pointless?

"He is the person I was talking about, the Lord of the Void, Su Quan."

The Dark Knight Batman slowly explained, "My Super Soldier Serum is his, and my ability to travel through time is also because of him."

The Dark Knight Batman had told Bruce Wayne about these things a long time ago, but he always referred to him as "that person" and never revealed that he was Bruce Wayne from another world.

Although Bruce Wayne was curious about Su Quan's identity and his relationship with the mother and daughter at Kyle International, there were priorities, and the most important thing at hand was Dick Grayson's matter.

"You can resurrect him?" Bruce Wayne looked at Dick Grayson in the ice coffin.

Su Quan glanced at him and saw that Dick Grayson was unremarkable in appearance, not as handsome as the young master in the Parallel Universe Earth-9, which is the Titan universe.

"There are many ways to resurrect him; I will briefly mention a few."

"The simplest way is for you or anyone else to make a wish to me to resurrect him."

Bruce Wayne said, "Making a wish comes at a price, doesn't it?"

Su Quan shrugged noncommittally. "Would you believe me if I said there was no price to pay?"

I don't believe it.

That solves it!

Someone like you, who doubts and guards against everything, would never believe that someone could be resurrected without any cost!

Have you heard of Lazarus Pit from the League of Assassins?

Su Quan then mentioned another method: anyone who soaks in the Lazarus Pit can be resurrected. Sara Lance, the White Canary from Parallel Universe Earth-1, was resurrected by soaking in it.

Bruce Wayne glanced at the Dark Knight Batman and shook his head, saying, "We've been to the League of Assassins, but there's no Lazarus Pit."

Just because something doesn't exist in this world doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other worlds.

Su Quan smiled and continued to explain the next method.

"You can also find a girl named Raven. She is Trigon, and possesses extremely powerful magical abilities. She can also revive Dick."

"The Lazarus Pit that I mentioned before is related to her father, the Trigon!"

"If you don't want to choose any of the above methods, that's okay. I have another method that you can achieve relatively well."

"The Mother Box of Apokolips!"

"If you do some research, you should be able to bring Dick back to life. Also, I can tell you that there are three Mother Boxes in total. I have two of them, and the other is in the STAR Labs."

"If you want to use the Mother Box to resurrect Dick, I can lend it to you temporarily, but I must make one thing clear: once the Mother Box is activated, it will automatically send a message to Apokolips."

"Then the New Gods who invaded Earth in ancient times will invade again!"

"Oh, right!"

Su Quan clapped his hands. "Let me tell you two more methods. One is the Anti-Life Equation. The New Gods who invaded Earth came for it. It is an incredibly powerful ability even for the Multiverse."

"The other one is the Flash!"

"Barry Allen possesses a power called the Speed Force, which allows him to exceed the speed of light, reverse time and space, and change what has already happened."

"However, there will definitely be a price to pay."

Typically, each time the Flash travels through time and alters the past, it causes an unknown butterfly effect.

Su Quan smiled and concluded, "I've already told you the method. You can decide for yourselves how to choose. Now, you need to pay the price."

"Wait, we haven't even made a choice yet, why should we pay a price?" Batman Dark Knight hurriedly said.

"You should understand the importance of intelligence better than anyone else. I've described so many ways to bring people back to life; shouldn't you pay the price?"

Bruce Wayne couldn't help but say, "We have no way of knowing if the methods you're talking about are actually effective. You're trying to force us to buy something!"

"That's right, it's forced buying and selling!"

Su Quan clapped his hands in agreement and chuckled, saying, "Who told you to ask me for help? If you give up on reviving Dick, I can also erase the memories of the methods you just heard."

"Believe me, I don't care at all whether Dick can be resurrected or not. In fact, if you weren't Batman, you wouldn't even see me, let alone resurrect a minor character like Robin! Even if the world were to end, you wouldn't see me!"

Bruce Wayne paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "What do you want?"

"Your personal shares and the Wayne Enterprises's shares in Arkham Asylum and the Daily Planet."

Bruce Wayne replied without hesitation, "Sure, these shares will be transferred to your name by noon tomorrow."

At the same time, you will also increase your attention and investigation into these two places, right?

Batman's style of doing things is actually quite easy to guess, because he is suspicious of everything, so he will investigate all suspicious things thoroughly!

As long as you follow this line of thinking, you'll know exactly what he wants to do and what he will do!

Batman the Dark Knight thought for a moment and asked Su Quan, "Which method has the least impact on Dean and incurs the least cost?"

Su Quan rolled his eyes at him and stretched out his hand. "If this is your wish, I can tell you."

The Dark Knight Batman didn't know what the wish was all about, but he knew Su Quan's personality.

To put it simply, as long as it's something he's interested in or he's in a good mood, everything is negotiable!

If he's not interested and happens to be in a bad mood, then there's no point in even thinking about it.

To put it bluntly, a person's level of civility depends entirely on their mood!

The fact that Su Quan came today and even offered so many methods proves that he is in a good mood, and that these methods involve things or people he is interested in.

Wishing, Lazarus Pit, Raven, Mother Box, Anti-Life Equation, the Flash—

Each of the six methods to bring Dick Grayson back to life has its advantages and disadvantages.

If Su Quan were to choose for them, he would choose the Anti-Life Equation, because it is the only one he knows how to do but not why!

He knew that the Anti-Life Equation, or rather, fragments of the Anti-Life Equation, were on Earth, but he didn't know exactly where or how to obtain them.

While his current Wish Power could grant the Joker the Dionysus Factor, it's unlikely he could replicate that to obtain the Anti-Life Equation.

The level of the Anti-Life Equation is far higher than that of the Wish Power.

In contrast, the other methods were just a side effect for Su Quan.

For example, the Lazarus Pit, I will naturally go and see it when I go back to Earth-1.

Needless to say, Raven will definitely go to the Titan World on Earth-9.

The Flash is even simpler; he doesn't even need to go to Earth-1 to find Barry Allen, that bitter and resentful man who claims to be the fastest man in the world but is repeatedly proven wrong.

After all, there is the Flash in this world, and he's a goofy, silly guy.

As for the Mother Box, even if they don't study it, Su Quan will have someone study it, since they are counting on it to lure Steppenwolf and Darkseid over.

Su Quan glanced at the two Batmen who were frowning and hesitant, thought for a moment, and suggested, "You should choose the Mother Box."

Batman the Dark Knight said, "But wouldn't activating the Mother Box invite an invasion from the New Gods?"

Su Quan shrugged. "They'll invade sooner or later, and—they have no choice but to invade!"

The Dark Knight Batman understood, and suddenly realized, "Is there someone you've got your eye on in the New Gods?"

Su Quan said noncommittally, "Your research on the Mother Box will also take time, it won't affect my plans."
