Chapter 978 Successor
"Why? The name of Justice League is normal, right?" He frowned and asked with confusion on his face.
"It's not a normal or abnormal problem. The key is that this name has been registered first. And, not just in our country, people have registered it in almost every mainstream country in the world. So, if you insist on it, Using that name would be tantamount to infringing on someone else's intellectual property rights," Clark explained.
"What? This name has actually been registered?" Bruce's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"It means literally. I remember it very clearly. My father had successfully registered this name as early as when I was in elementary school. As you know, I am an alien from Krypton and I have always had a very good memory. Clark said helplessly, spreading his hands.
……
There was no doubt that there was a long silence, and Bruce really didn't expect that the reason why Superman refused was because of the name of the alliance.
"Then change the name. We can even call it Avengers. After all, the name is just a representative."
"Then tell me after you think about the new name." Clark didn't mind joining a new alliance. After all, as Bruce said, everything was to better protect the world.
Of course, Clark felt that Bruce's idea of bringing his parents into the alliance was also whimsical. You must know that his adoptive father Su Xiuyu scorned many of Bruce's actions.
Clark then sent Bruce back home, and Afu also expressed his gratitude to Clark.
"Afu, do you think I need to find a helper? Maybe I feel that I am getting older and feel a little out of my depth."
Bruce was lying in a hospital owned by Wayne Group undergoing a CT examination at this moment. After all, although the injury was not serious, he would not worry unless he checked it carefully.
"Master Wayne, it's only normal for you to have this kind of thinking. You are already middle-aged, have no girlfriend or wife, and you don't even have your own children. Do you plan to donate the Wayne Group's property to the federal government in the future? "
Alfred smiled and helped the injured Bruce stand up, and then said a few words of care to the doctor beside him. After all, this is a company owned by Wayne Group, so he was naturally flattered to see Bruce.
"The inspection report should be out in half an hour. Let's just wait."
"Just listen to you, Afu."
Perhaps because he suffered a big blow this time, Bruce did not insist on recovering his health immediately and rejoining the cause of Batman, especially because Bruce felt that his age was here, and 45 years old was already quite old.
Bruce has been steadfast in his crime-fighting mentality for quite some time, but after so many years, Batman is aging, obviously. This is a great force in the world that humans cannot resist.
Aging is not only Bruce's enemy, but also Batman's enemy. This time Bruce deeply feels his own powerlessness. Facing enemies all over the mountains and plains, even if they are just some miscellaneous soldiers and monsters, Bruce will have to work hard.
Bruce also realized that his fists were no longer as powerful as before, and their strength was not as strong as when he was young. It was as if Bruce suddenly realized that he seemed to be old.
The idea of forming the Justice League has been around for a long time, but it has never been so determined at this moment. Even if I get older, I can make some contributions to the world behind the scenes after forming a league.
As for worldly fame and fortune in this world - women with money are indeed not attractive to Bruce. After all, Bruce was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has known the meaning of lack of money all his life. When it comes to women, Bruce was also a suave playboy when he was young. He basically did all the things that should be played. It can be said that he has seen everything from being fat to being thin.
It is a pity that Bruce has never found a soul-matching partner. Of course, Bruce often reflects on whether he deliberately closed off his feelings because of his unfortunate childhood.
The master-servant relationship between Bruce and Alfred, and the sensual love between the women Bruce met, gave rise to different changes as he grew older.
The relationship between master and servant has become deeper and deeper. It can be said that the relationship between Bruce and Alfred is like that of father and son. Although Bruce has never spoken, deep down in his heart, he has regarded Alfred as his own relative.
As for the carnal desire, it gradually faded as Bruce grew older - after all, human body hormone levels gradually decline with age, and even Bruce would inevitably become stoic for this reason.
"Actually, I think it is necessary for you to find a qualified person to take over your job. Even Batman has to retire. Unless you can live forever, Master, of course, I actually hope that you can find a suitable woman and start a family. …”
Bruce became distracted as soon as Afu mentioned his family. Obviously this wasn't the first time this topic had arisen.
"Of course, Master Wayne, if you really don't have someone you like, I wouldn't mind if you find a woman for a one-night stand, but I think you need a child. If possible, I hope to watch your child grow up with my own eyes."
Ah Fu is already a typical old man, but Ah Fu is still in good health. If Bruce creates a child in time, it is estimated that Ah Fu will really be able to hold on until the child grows up.
"Um... I can't find a suitable partner for the time being. I will consider your suggestions..." Bruce was also shocked by Ah Fu's thoughts. Has the good guy Ah Fu become so open-minded now?
"Master, it's not that I've changed, it's that I've grown old. I'm worried that one day I'll die and leave you all alone. Maybe what happened to the master has hit you hard, but I still hope you can find someone who suits you. Isn’t it nice to be able to accompany you when the time comes?”
"Thief?"
Bruce's mind didn't react for a moment.
"I'm talking about the female thief you met at the Metropolitan Museum last time. I saw a close-up of the female thief on your computer - I emphasize that I definitely did not pry into your privacy. You were aboveboard at that time. On top of the computer monitor.”
Only then did Bruce finally remember who Alfred was talking about. Catwoman, the female thief he met in the museum, was Bruce's first encounter.
