Can you retire today?

While Bruce was on his own journey of experience, his friend Tony Stark suffered the biggest blow in his life.

His parents were killed in a car accident, and no bones survived due to a gasoline explosion.

Alfred came to the Stark couple's funeral on behalf of the Wayne family. Looking at Tony with a blank face, he seemed to see his past master.Thinking of Bruce, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, Alfred was full of worries.

But he still cheered up and went to comfort his young master's good friend—Tony Stark.

"Master Stark, my condolences."

Tony looked at Bruce's butler, unable to say anything.

He didn't know how it all happened, the last time he saw Howard, Tony had an argument with him.

Howard didn't attend his 18th birthday party, and didn't even say happy birthday to Tony.

They often quarreled, and Maria always persuaded them. He didn't expect that that quarrel would be the last time.

He didn't expect that the last words he said to Howard were: "Why do I have a father like you!"

And the last sentence Howard said to him was: "I don't want to have a son like you!"

He has not reconciled with Howard, he has not been recognized by Howard, he has not made achievements beyond Howard, and Howard has left forever.

And Maria, his favorite mother, although she is more towards her husband than Tony, her love for Tony is unquestionable.

"Where's Bruce?" Tony's voice was still a little hoarse, he hadn't drunk water all day.From hearing the news of his parents' death to holding the funeral, everything happened very quickly, and almost before he could react, the funeral began.Even his clothes were changed by Jarvis, and he still smelled of alcohol, which was stained by his birthday party.

"..." Alfred didn't know what to say, to be honest, he didn't know where Bruce was now.Even... He sometimes dreams that something bad happened to Bruce, but all he can do is wait, even if it may take a lifetime.

Tony looked at Alfred and asked again, "Where's Bruce?"

Although Bruce told him that he was going on a trip, he didn't say anything about his 18th birthday, not even a text message.Speaking of which, they haven't been in touch for a long time.He didn't even have any news about his parents' funeral. Tony wondered if something happened to him.

Alfred was a little helpless, and said a half-hidden fact, "...he ran away from home."

Although this reason sounds ridiculous, it is also a fact.

Tony looked at Alfred in shock, "What!"

He couldn't believe his ears, he felt that he might be dreaming, maybe his parents' death was also a dream.His friend, Bruce Wayne Patriarch, Gotham Little Prince Wayne would actually do such a thing as running away from home!

Jarvis behind him patted Tony on the shoulder, "Master."

Tony felt the strength of the slapping, which woke him who was escaping, and he knew that all this was not a dream, it was real.He knew that Bruce must not have run away from home, although there may be some similarities, at least there is no news of it now.

My parents are dead, and my best friend is also missing.

Why does this world treat him like this? Is he the protagonist of some tragic novel!

Obadiastan walked up to Tony and said with a sad face: "Tony, don't be too sad, Howard and Maria would not want to see you like this, they love you very much. Even if Howard always treats you Very strict, but he also loves you. You have to cheer up, the Stark Group needs you. If you have any questions, you can always find me. You know, Howard and I are good friends. I will Treat it like your own child.”

What he said was very sincere, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

Tony was a little moved in his heart, but he didn't show it. He even shrugged his shoulders and made a pointless look. He didn't like to show his vulnerability in front of others, and he had lost his composure just now.

"Thank you, Uncle Opadry. I'm fine, but the company still needs to trouble you."

Obadiastan nodded, "I will take care of the company for you, don't worry."

He said a few more words of comfort and encouragement to Tony, and left.

Looking at his leaving back, Tony felt a little comforted in his heart.He will never forget how Obadiastan helped him when he was most helpless.

Jarvis frowned slightly. He knew that Howard had some doubts about Obadiastan, but now, he was indeed the best choice.

The Stark couple just died, and the Stark Group can't stand the turmoil now.

But thinking of the news Howard revealed to himself before the accident, Jarvis felt that the deaths of Howard and Maria were not simply a car accident.But looking at the bewildered Tony, he didn't express his guess.Wait a little longer, he thought, when Tony matured, he would tell him that before that, he could use some channels to investigate.

But what Jarvis didn't expect was that he would die because of the investigation, and Tony would know the truth in a very tragic way.

When Bruce heard the news that the Starks had encountered an accident, he was on his way to the address of the magician.

He was at a loss as to what to do, the deaths of Thomas and Martha seemed to loom before his eyes.

He knows that Tony needs him now, but he is still on the wanted list of the police, because he has joined gangs several times and defected several times, and there are many gangsters chasing him, so he really can't go back now .

Of course, he could use Bruce Wayne's identity to contact some people, but in this case, what he had endured before would be useless, and he might even expose himself.

Although it is impossible to hide Batman's identity seamlessly, he doesn't want Batman to be found out as soon as he appears in Gotham in the future. That would be a big joke.

In the end, he could only send a coded letter to Alfred through a secret channel, hoping that he would translate it through the deciphering method he left behind and pass it on to Tony.

Thinking of the death of the Starks, he knew it was not an accident, it should be a murder.He vaguely remembered that the death of the Starks led to the Avengers' civil war, but he really couldn't remember exactly why, and he didn't even know when the Starks died.

Some memories of the previous life, even though he sorted them out through the memory palace, are still slowly blurring or even disappearing.Sometimes, he felt that his previous life was like a dream, and he vaguely remembered something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.Even if he remembered, he couldn't reveal anything to anyone, just like he couldn't warn Thomas and Martha back then.

Putting Tony's matter to the bottom of his heart for a while, he found that he seemed to be being followed by a few people with special powers.

His first reaction was to think of the magic letter sent to him, but he could clearly feel the malice towards him from those who followed him.

He walked into a dark alley, hid in the darkness through invisibility, and observed secretly.

Three people walked into the dark alley, and one of them seemed to be bigger than the other two. He was wearing a black robe and a hood, and he couldn't see clearly. He was holding a black stone with blood patterns in his hand, like He is the leader of the three.

The other two looked not much older than 15-year-old Bruce, one with black hair and brown eyes, the other with blond hair and green eyes.

Blonde Jesse looked around, "Teacher, that person is gone."

The black-haired Locke didn't say a word, and looked around warily.

Jesse looked at the nervous Locke with some disdain, "Lock, you are too timid, but you are just an ordinary person, nothing to be afraid of. I only need one..."

"Quiet." The man in the hood—Jelslot's voice was a little hoarse, but Jessie immediately closed his mouth and smiled flatteringly at him.

Bruce sneaks out a handful of darts, intending to test their depths.

Suddenly, Gilleslot made a few gestures, and the three of them were covered with a halo of light.

The stone in Jesslot's hand lit up, and he looked at where Bruce was, "Come out."

Bruce didn't know if he really found himself, or if he was trying to trick himself out, so he didn't move.

A black light flew towards Bruce, and Bruce dodged in time to reveal his figure. He knew that the man had really found him.He still has a certain degree of confidence in his hiding technique, and the three of them don't look like they have been trained. The biggest possibility is because of magic. Looking at the black stone in the man's hand, Bruce has a bad feeling in his heart .

"Who are you and why are you following me?" Several plans flashed through Bruce's mind, and the dart in his hand became tighter and tighter, ready to shoot if something went wrong.

"We are believers of the gods, and the great gods led us to find you, son of darkness. Come with us, and you will gain unprecedented power." Gilleslot said with some pretending to be mysterious.He looked at Bruce with some covetous eyes, "The great god will take care of you, and you will have the opportunity to live forever."

Seeing his cult-like attire and rhetoric, Bruce became even more vigilant.

"Oh." Bruce didn't believe a word, "Are you here to cheat money? I'm penniless."

Jesse was a little impatient, "Teacher, why bother talking nonsense to an ordinary person, let's do it directly." He read a few words to Bruce, waved his hand, and a gray light hit Bruce.

Locke on the side also added a gray light.

Facing two attacks, Bruce dodged easily.It's creepy, but their speed is too slow.Even though there are some mysterious powers, Bruce is not too afraid.

But he didn't forget Gilles Lott, his intuition told him that that person was the most threatening.

Bruce shot the dart in his hand, the dart hit the aperture and was bounced back.

Bruce approached the aperture quickly but lightly, so that even if he was bounced off, he would not be hurt too much, but the aperture did not stop him.

Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that this aperture can only block objects, not people.

Bruce quickly knocked Jesse and Locke down before they could react. He played very skillfully, temporarily incapacitating them.

Looking at Gilles Lott, Bruce didn't act rashly, probably because the distance was getting closer, he suddenly felt that the stone in the man's hand seemed to have an inexplicable attraction.

Instead of approaching, he took out a knife and threw it at the stone in Gilleslot's hand.

Gilleslot didn't dodge, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face hidden under the hood.

The stone emits a strong black light, and the magician's letter in Bruce's backpack also emits a faint white light where Bruce can't see it.

Bruce felt his eyes darken, and his body fell down uncontrollably. He was standing on the ground before, but now he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He felt a suction force, and then passed out. Before fainting, He seemed to see many intertwined lines of fate.
