Chapter 106 The So-Called Difference
This sentence made Damian's first reaction - Mara was bluffing, trying to make him collapse and explode, so as to gain a psychological advantage first.
Because Harry looked so calm.
But he suddenly thought of the video that his father and Ah Fu decided to delete...
Damian began to observe Harry carefully, observing the flaws in his calmness - he saw the girl's eyes flustered for a moment because of Mara's words, and he broke eye contact with him, and turned to stare at the girl under his feet. At a certain point, after a few seconds, he raised his head again and looked into his eyes lightly again.
Under the dim light, there was obvious thin sweat on her forehead and neck, her eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and a slight shaking of her body could be seen on her shoulders - all of which were manifestations of enduring severe pain...
Damian opened his mouth and closed it again, distrustful of the sounds he might be making now.
He glanced at Mara who had been staring at him with a playful expression, swallowed quietly, turned to look at Harry on the stool, and said softly, "It's nothing, Harry, I also broke one Fingers of my hand, look how well I'm recovering now. You can hardly tell I've been hurt so badly."
After Damian's words fell to the ground, Harley's chest rose and fell slightly, and then it calmed down. She winked at the boy.
No one reacted violently, and Mara's wishful thinking fell through—probably...
Damian will hold the long knife on his upper body, if what Mara wants is a duel?Then give it to her!
"It's touching." Mara noticed his movement, and in the blink of an eye, a short knife was placed on Harry's neck, "Don't move, or her arterial blood will spray your face in the next second."
"I don't know that the League of Assassins still has her information." Damian could only let go, turned away and began to actively look for topics. As long as Mara showed any flaws in the process, he could accurately catch and throw the batarang , save Harley.
But this question is also what worries him the most. Could it be that Harry is being targeted by his grandfather?
"No, I collected them all myself." Mara just clung to Harry's side, her movements were steady, she didn't reveal any loopholes, just like a qualified assassin.
"I thought three years ago, you had already decided not to follow Lei Xiao Aogu—our grandfather." Damian said slowly while observing every micro-expression of Mara, "My words are still valid , you don’t have to follow his criminal empire, cousin, you still have a chance to be yourself. We don’t define by blood.”*
At the mention of that, Mara began to tremble uncontrollably.The knife around Harry's neck began to sink into the skin, and Damian saw beads of blood.
"How dare you...bring this matter up on your own initiative." Mara raised her voice, and her eyes began to show a crazy look, "After you and the Teen Titans instigated my four main members of the Devil Fist, have you ever thought about it?" , what will be waiting for me?"
"Lei Xiao Aogu has never been known for his generosity, and our dear grandfather has never liked me."
She crooked her mouth and smiled, "So, although he didn't deprive me of my position as the team leader because of this... But the harsh punishment of up to three years, you can't think of it after you spent your entire childhood in the League of Assassins."
The knife got deeper and deeper, and Damian felt a crisis, "In this case, why do you still stay with grandfather? Come with me, the Justice League will give you a new identity..."
Mara interrupted him, "You really look more and more like your good-for-nothing father—weak and sentimental. The cousin who laughed at my tears back then is indeed gone."
She looked calmer, and the blade was slightly away from the skin of Harry's neck, "That incident... and all the subsequent punishments only made me more determined - my loyalty to the League of Assassins, and my hatred for you .”
"I have trained harder and more cruelly because of this. I have never been worse than you, and you know it very well."
"My grandfather also gave me a second chance because of my performance, and I will not let him down."
Harry's face obviously began to turn pale, and Damian lost his patience because of it. In any case, he had done his duty of admonishing his cousin.
"Then? Did your next words be 'So I made up my mind to make you pay the price'?"
"I've been here for so long, Mara, come on, what do you want?"
At this time, the communicator in one of his ears also sent out a signal—the members of the Teen Titans were all in place, waiting for his order.
As long as he makes sure Harley is no longer a hostage, the Titans can subdue the entire perimeter of the warehouse in less than a minute.
"An answer." Mara stared at Damian. There were complex expressions in the red and green eyes that he couldn't distinguish. "I need an answer."
This answer made him not understand Mara's intention for a while.
"Do you know why I chose her?" Mara tugged at Harry's hair.
"As a qualified assassin, I shouldn't waste time talking to you. I should have cut her throat directly. However, there are some words that must be spoken to cause you pain."
Her expression was calm, "Damian, we are all your sisters, she is not even related to you by blood..."
"What I got was a scar that went across half the face and destroyed an eye—your masterpiece."
"And what about her?"
Mara's eyes became colder and colder, "What's the difference between us? Why is she so lucky."
"It's my fault, cousin. The League of Assassins and grandfather are both good at bringing out the worst in you and me." Damian clenched his fists, and he didn't want to recall the past, "This has nothing to do with the relationship between you and Harley." Whether there is a difference between them is irrelevant.”
"If I were your sister when you were 10 and back with Wayne, would you do the same to me?"
"right……"
"So, I'm not as lucky as her, and this is your answer?" Mara's knife moved away from Harry's neck.
Damian watched Mara's movements closely, intending to seize the opportunity when the dagger moved a few centimeters away, and took out the bat dart and threw it.
But unexpectedly, Mara's knife crossed Harry's right cheek and landed on her eyes.
"I understand the term luck." Mara took off Harry's Robin blindfold with her other hand, "However, the Alliance has always encouraged us to create our own destiny and opportunities, and create our own fairness—so, I Make her like me, to reflect the fairness of being your sister together."
She looked at Damian, the knife in her hand had landed above Harry's right eye, and started to move without any delay, "Does it look familiar? This is the same knife you used back then."
Harry took one last look at Damian, closed his eyes, relaxed his shoulders, and stopped crying.
She is always so brave at critical moments.Make him heartbroken...
"Wait!" He blurted out without thinking, almost breaking his voice, "This has nothing to do with luck!"
"What's that?" A gash about one centimeter had formed above Harry's left eye, and Mara's knife was still slowly moving down—he always knew that his cousin would never show mercy, so he just like him.
"There's nothing I can't compare to her." Mara's expression began to be grim. "She fell into the trap I set so easily today. She is stupid and incompetent."
"You pretend to be a poor girl in a slum, and take advantage of our sense of responsibility. Even I will fall into the trap."
His words were too weak to stop the knife in Harry's eyes, think quickly!
"Tell, tell, me, what's the difference between us," Mara's movements were unhurried, and blood began to roll down a crimson streak on Harry's right cheek, along his neck, and into his collar, "Let you distinguish treat."
He can only follow his intuition.
"Because I have no blood relationship with Harley, I am not only responsible to her, but also to Ah Fu. Halle is his relative—and Ah Fu is one of the people I respect the most, his family."
God what is he talking about...
Marla was right, what was the difference?Harley is... a younger sister, but a little more than a younger sister?
"Because there is no blood relationship, so treat her well? It's not convincing, Damian, you need to work harder."
"You want the answer, okay, I'll give it to you." Seeing Harley calmly accepting the bad luck he brought, Damian's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that he was about to collapse. If this was Mara's purpose, Then she's almost there.
"Because Harley isn't like you, it makes me miserable," he said coldly.
"I wish I could erase you from my memory, you and the rest of my childhood nightmare. Happy?"*
Mara stopped moving.
"It's about you and me, Marla," Damian said savagely, "even if Harley were a dog, I'd treat her better than you."
"A dog won't sneak up on me, spend every minute of my childhood thinking about how to kill me, won't want to step on my dead body to ascend to the so-called 'throne' - when you accuse me, Marla, have you ever reflected on yourself? Do you consider yourself my sister, or a kinsman?"
"In your eyes, I have never been more important than the leader of the Demon Fist. I am just a stumbling block to your grandfather's approval, and an object to defeat—I am not innocent, Mara, and neither are you."
"So, don't claim to be my sister now, we all know you are not."
Mara stared at him for a long time, the scar on her right eye quivering slightly.
"Well," Marla let go of Harry's hair, as if losing interest in her, "you're right. We were never a healthy brother-sister relationship, never were."
"I know you're holding a small dart in your hand, waiting for my opening," Mara sneered, "take it out, give yourself a knife in the eye, and we'll be even."
"'From now on, every time you look in the mirror, you will remember that I will always be better than you,' I will give you back the words you once said to me."
"Is this the request?" Damian said lightly, and at the same time spread out the palm of his right hand. There was a wound on the palm caused by tightly grasping the bat dart. "Just want me to have the same scar as you? Tell me earlier. , I could satisfy you three years ago."
Harry finally opened his eyes, and there was still blood on the lid of his right eye.
She stared at Damian's movements with wide eyes. Could it be that he really wanted to give up resistance and cut himself a knife?This is so unlike him!
"One second slower and I'll slit her throat," Mara threatened.
Throat cut and throat cut again, can she say anything else?
Harley suddenly became extremely irritable, and all the pain in her body was magnified in an instant; and seeing that the always proud young man really wanted to bow his head to this evil female assassin, it made her... tremble with anger.
She's had enough.
What is this Mara capable of?Comparable to Damian?
The old-fashioned light bulb above his head suddenly exploded out of nowhere.
Is it her masterpiece?She hadn't had a magical accident in many, many years.
Before Harry had time to think, a bat dart flew over in the dark, brushing her hair.
It should have hit Mara, but Damian didn't hear the impact.
When he turned on the portable flashlight, he was surprised to see a scene that he couldn't understand anyway—Mara's whole body swelled up, heading towards a huge balloon, and even her scar was stretched; at the same time, her body rose When I got up, it was like those hydrogen balloons that children bought in Disneyland, rising higher and higher, becoming round and round, making popping sounds from their mouths...
Mara's face, which could no longer be seen with a human figure, finally revealed a rare fear; and Harry on the stool also looked up in surprise...
The author has something to say:
*"...not defined by blood" and "erased from childhood" are both quoted from Rebirth's Teen Titans and rephrased.
*Congratulations to Mr. Mi for taking a milestone step on the road to enlightenment. At least he understands that younger sisters are different from younger sisters. Spread your hands jpg
*The rice in Unyielding 2CG is really handsome, there are two small dimples when he smiles (*/ω＼*) However, he still doesn’t know how to play the console version, it’s too complicated.
*It seems that some little angels have already guessed in advance what to do with Mara - blowing her up...
