Although Bruce didn't find any clues about the League of Assassins in Sokovia, the Bronze Tiger's whereabouts were not entirely untraceable.
Because the members of the Assassin Alliance will not provide any help when they take personal jobs, which means that the Bronze Tiger cannot take the planes and ships of the Assassin Alliance when it comes to Sokovia.
At that time, the airport in Sokovia had not resumed operations, and it was not a country close to the sea, so it could not be reached directly by boat.
Therefore, if the bronze tiger wants to enter Sokovia, it can only go to the neighboring country first, and then rent a local fishing boat to reach Sokovia along the river.
Bruce confirmed from the fisherman that Bronze Tiger had been to Sokovia. After all, Bronze Tiger and others are quite recognizable. There are only a handful of foreigners who rented fishing boats to enter Sokovia, which is easy to remember. live.
From this, Bruce judged that Bronze Tiger was probably killed in Sokovia.
But in addition to knowing that bronze tiger is dead, who killed the bronze tiger, and who did the bronze tiger come to Sokovia to kill, Bruce couldn't find any relevant clues.
If it's just based on feeling, Bruce suspects that the death of Bronze Tiger may be related to Sokovia's first family, Vongola. After all, the Vongola family holds a powerful private armed force.
It is also very possible that Bronze Tiger failed to assassinate the leader of Vongola and was killed.
However, there is no reason for this suspicion, and there is no evidence to show that the Vongola family has had conflicts or connections with the Assassin Alliance.
In fact, Vongola did not have a half-money relationship with the Assassin League, and Bronze Tiger just took over the private life of Hydra.
Bruce reluctantly guessed the truth. The only thing that could not be guessed was the strength of the Vongola family. So far, Bruce no longer put his heart on Sokovia.
Bronze Tiger will die if he dies. Bruce is not idle enough to fight with Vongola for the sake of Bronze Tiger. After all, Bronze Tiger is going to kill people. If someone kills him, it is also self-defense, which is completely reasonable.
What the Vongola family did in Sokovia was legal, and it was not a criminal gang.
As long as the League of Assassins has no intention of making big moves, Batman will only stay in Gotham.
During this period, there is also a small episode that appears...
The Wayne branch was established in Sokovia, so it was inevitable to have an intersection with the Vongola family. For this reason, Raphael specially invited Bruce to the Vongola Manor as a guest, and by the way, they discussed some small cooperation.
It is obviously unreasonable for a person as big as Bruce Wayne to come here.
It was not until Bruce was invited to come that he found out that the leader of the Vongola family was Raphael, who had a relationship at the Inter-Century Exposition before, and then he instantly figured out who was behind zemo.
He didn't think it was abnormal to lead the family at Raphael's age, because he was already the leader of the Wayne family when he was younger than Raphael.
All in all, the two sides get along fairly well, at least on the surface.
When the site selection for the branch office was completed and the official construction began, Bruce left Sokovia and stopped paying attention to it...
Time passes to two years later.
year 2002.
Sokovia, secret laboratory at AIM headquarters.
The Vongola family gathered together and looked solemnly at Jonny in the center of the open space. He was standing there, wearing a simple ring on his right hand.
Jonny's legs have recovered very well over the past few years. He no longer needs to be in a wheelchair to move around, but the movement is not natural, it's almost like a lame leg.
( I don't know how but yes he has legs now)
Everyone's expressions were serious, especially Killian and Hu, who almost didn't have the word nervous written on their faces.
A few days ago, they succeeded in creating three E-level death energy rings. From a theoretical point of view, there should be no problem, only the final test is needed.
This is the result that Killian and Hu have exchanged for countless failures in two years. As long as this test is passed, it will prove that their current research direction is correct, then the development of higher-level rings will only increase in the future. sooner.
But if they fail, it means that they have wasted two years and everything has to be overturned.
So among the people present, no one was more nervous than Killian and Yinsen.
"Johnny, follow the way I taught you, use your consciousness to ignite the dying Will flame."
Raphael said.
Jonny nodded silently, raised his right fist to his chest, and closed his eyes at the same time.
"Feel my awakening..."
Bear!
It didn't take long for a small flame, a clear yellow flame, to ignite on the ring.
It's the dying Will flame with the sun attribute!
"I can feel a warm, warm current moving in my body!"
Jonny suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise.
"It's a wonderful feeling, it makes me feel like I can walk normally now."
With that said, Jonny immediately opened his legs and took a few steps forward, The lame phenomenon actually disappeared!
His legs have completely recovered, and even the muscles that have been shrinking in recent years have recovered, and they are even stronger than before.
This is because the characteristics of Sun flame are active, and it can proliferate cells at a super high speed to achieve the effect of strengthening the body's recovery ability, similar to the existence of self-healing factors.
Then he tried running, jumping, and kicking... all of which broke his previous record.
"We succeeded!"
The tension on Killian and Hu's faces disappeared completely, replaced by intense joy.
"Nice job! Killian, Hu."
Raphael also had a smile on his face. It seemed that they would be able to mass-produce the E-Class Rings soon.
"In addition to this E-level ring, we also created the E-level Storm ring and Lightning ring."
Dr. Yinsen took out the remaining two rings.
Raphael took out the E-class Lan ring and turned to look at Zemo, "Zemo, you can use this ring for now."
That's right, Zemo's attributes are the same as Pietro's, and he also has the Storm Flame
Zemo nodded, took the ring and put it on without a word, and then tried to ignite the dying Will flame just like Jonny just now.
It turns out that Zemo and Jonny were very clear about their own consciousness, so they both ignited the dying Will flame without much obstacle.
