"It seems you know me?"

Merlin was not surprised to hear Talia calling out his nickname.

In fact, if the famous Assassin League didn't even find his name and information, he would feel unexpected and disappointed. After all, judging from the information he has learned now, Assassin League is a powerful organization that is hidden and uncovered.

He looked at Talia and asked:

"Have you collected my information specifically?"

"No, no."

Talia denied calmly, put down her wine glass and said:

"Since I'm already a friend, I won't hide some things from you."

"The Assassin League split a few years ago. Just before Bruce joined us, our power on the East Coast of North America was almost gone, and we had almost no decent branches on that land. I just knew your name and what you did. I didn't know that you were my 'old friend' back then."

"Well, it seems that your current situation is really not optimistic."

Merlin said:

"So the Batman is dispatched to attack those gangs to regain control?"

"Yes. There is no need to hide these things from you."

Talia's expression became serious, and she said to Merlin:

"That was my father's plan, but I actually don't agree with using this violent way to solve problems. It's impossible to rely on those gangsters. Past failures have proved that the method of the previous era has failed in this era."

The cunning and attractive woman plucked her long black hair and said to Merlin:

"Since I've said it now, I'll just say it, Merlin."

"I need your help!"

"help?"

Merlin asked:

“What helps?”

"Help me become the leader of the Assassin League!"

There was a light of ambition in Talia's eyes. She did not hide her desire for the organization behind her. She said:

"My father has lived for more than 700 years. I admit that he is a great leader. But he has no longer kept up with the pace of this era, from forcing his own successors to rebel against Bruce, to planning a Gotham invasion and then getting a tragic failure, and this attack on North America was simply a series of tricks."

Talia shook her head, with a strong sense of disappointment in her tone, she said:

"No matter how bright the sun is, there is a moment when it sets. The era of the head of the demon is over."

"Sorry, I can't help."

Merlin refused:

"I am a public official and shouldn't deal with killer organizations like you, this is not allowed."

"Killer organization?"

Talia sneered, and she said in a playful tone:

"I don't know where you heard the news, thinking we're a killer organization. But Merlin, you're really underestimating us a little. Let me think about it, you live in New York and seem to be in Hell's Kitchen, right?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded, and Talia chuckled, and she said:

"Who has a St. Matthew's Church?"

"right."

Merlin's expression became weird.

He had long noticed that St. Matthew's Church was a bit weird. Eric, who had been there for several years, also told him that St. Matthew's Church seemed to be protected by a mysterious force.

"Is that your territory?"

Merlin asked.

"No, that is the property of the Sisters of Divine Grace."

Talia replied seriously:

"You should have heard of the Sisters of Divine Grace, right? One of the largest religious forces in Europe."

"Yeah, I've heard of it."

Merlin nodded and said:

“It is said that it is also one of the largest charitable organizations in the world, with orphanages and monasteries belonging to them all over the world.”

"Well, the Sisters of Divine Grace are one of the industries under the Assassin Alliance."

Talia bounced her finger and said to Merlin:

"And not the most important one."

She looked at Merlin who was a little surprised and a smile appeared on her face, she said:

"Merlin, we, the Assassin Alliance, although the name contains the word Assassin, we have never been a pure killer organization from the moment we were born."

"We have experienced the era of great navigation, and with the reputation of the Invincible Armada, we have spread our power throughout the world!"

"We have witnessed the ups and downs of the French Revolution, and we have our marks in the Louvre and on the guillotine of Louis XIV!"

"Our ancestors walked on the battlefield in the Civil War, using the double blades in their hands to safeguard and fulfill our justice!"

"We are hidden behind the scenes of World War II, the most important intelligence provider of the Allied forces in the European battlefield. On the beaches of Normandy, our warriors are igniting the fire of the Allied forces."

"Merlin, the Assassin League was not established by my father."

Talia whispered in Merlin's ear:

"Everything outside is just a rumor. Only the people of my family know that my father has just inherited an ancient belief. Let me tell you, where he found the Pond of Sarah, he discovered many ancient records, and our history can even be traced back to 400 BC!"

"We have many, many names, orderly guardians, guardians, Assassin, we are not just a product of history, we create history!"

"It's just that over the years, the Assassin League has gone astray, but it doesn't matter. After I took over my father's flag, I will bring this organization back on track with my own hands! But I need your help, Merlin, there is no good or evil in power. Do you want the Assassin League to be used to maintain order? If you want, please help me!"

"The power of SHIELD is blank in many parts of the world. As long as we cooperate, you can quickly and quickly truly monitor the entire world."

Talia's body was almost pressed against Merlin's shoulders. This posture made Merlin subconsciously sway her body, and he said:

"Just speak well and don't get so close."

"Haha, it's really interesting."

Talia slowly returned to her chair, she looked at Merlin frivolously, and said:

"You reminded me of Bruce, an ascetic who was in a chastity. You really look very much like him, and you have suppressed anger roaring in your heart."

"I won't say this."

Merlin waved his hand, he didn't want to say too much about this issue.

He thought for a moment, then looked at Talia and said:

"I can't give you the answer, I don't have that permission. But I remember your proposal, and I'll submit it if I have the chance."

"No."

Talia shook her head and refused:

"I don't trust your organization, Merlin, I trust you! I'm asking you for help, not SHIELD. I heard from my father that Hydra is hidden in the shadow of your SHIELD. I don't want to get involved with you before you get rid of that shadow."

"I?"

Merlin shook his head and said:

"Apart from the identity of Agent S.H.I.I. I am just an ordinary wizard. How can I help you and your career?"

"You have advanced the alien order in New York. As far as I know, your department is managing it."

A trace of splendor flashed in Talia's eyes, and she said:

"The next step, your power will expand to the entire East Coast. Listen to me, Merlin, I don't need you to help me grab territory with open fire. I just need you to release your fingers when necessary. I only need a gap, a little shadow that can hide. That's enough."

"The rest of the things my assassins will naturally handle."

"It seems you already have your own power, Talia."

Merlin said:

"You look quite sure."

"If Bruce didn't leave, I'm now the Assassin Queen."

Talia said a little dissatisfied:

"But my father was too anxious. His strength successfully forced Bruce to his opposite side. In the situation at that time, only the last step was left before Bruce completely joined us. If I were asked to persuade him, he would definitely be with me and Demien."

"How is it? Merlin."

Talia asked:

"Did you agree?"

“I need time to think about it.”

Merlin said ambiguously:

"But if you can give me some news that I am interested in, maybe my time of hesitation will be reduced appropriately. For example, for information about Hydra, who is Hydra hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"I have no idea."

Talia simply said:

"I only know that Hydra has several factions running on the East Coast, and they are also good at hiding themselves. And a few months ago, a senior Hydra executive code-named "Banker" suddenly died, which made the group hide deeper. It was too difficult to find out more news based on our weak power in New York."

"But if you are willing to help me reorganize the Assassin Alliance's power on the East Coast, maybe it will take only one month to bring you some good news."

Talia plucked her hair and said gently:

"You are confused by the authorities. If you are in the game and cannot jump out, how can you find the bugs in your back? Such things must be left to a third party outside the game to observe, so that they can be more efficient."

"One month?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, he looked at Talia, and after a moment he stretched out two fingers:

"I can allow you to move in several outlier reserves there. Just take this as a manifestation of your ability, Talia, within 20 days, give me a definite news and let us talk about the next step of cooperation."

"make a deal!"

Talia stood up happily and reached out toward Merlin. The latter also reached out to hold Talia's hand, representing the completion of the transaction.

"Count the time, we should be near Nandarbat."

Talia and Melin reached an agreement, and she was in a very happy mood. The shadows that had been shrouded in her heart for a while were like a clear view of the sun. She leaned on her chair, picked up her glass, drank a sip of wine, and said to Melin:

"As soon as I get off the plane, I will take you to see my father."

"I'm very curious about it."

Merlin asked:

"How do you deal with your relationship with your father? I don't think that people like Lars Al Goul will willingly hand over their throne to you, even if you are his daughter."

"Of course he won't."

Talia's expression became a little darker, she said:

"Do you remember what I said to you when we parted 8 years ago?"

"Remember."

Merlin nodded:

"At that time, you told me that you want to prove that you are not worse than a man."

"right."

Talia picked up the wine glass and put it in front of her. She looked at the liquid flowing in the cup, and she said with a hint of loss:

"So, I lost."

"When I met you, I had already met Bruce, but at that time, I didn't like him, I just regarded him as a competitor. My father taught Bruce himself, and he discovered Bruce's talent. After his original heir was forced away, he deliberately trained Bruce to become the next head of the demon."

"That should have been my place!"

Talia said in a low tone:

"I spent several times more time training and honing myself than that man, but I eventually lost. My father, who is very old-fashioned, I can feel it, but he stubbornly believes that women are naturally weak in sensuality and cannot control organizations like the Assassin League, so he finally chose Bruce between me and Bruce."

“Today, Merlin.”

Talia looked at Merlin and said frankly:

"There is a small part of the reason I swear to be the leader of the Assassin League, because of my inner unwillingness. I will prove that I am more suitable to lead the organization than Bruce. Bruce is too upright. Some of his heart has been burned out by justice. He walks in the shadow, but he will never belong to the shadow."

The woman laughed and said to Merlin:

"If you're never a part of the Shadow, how should you command it?"

"I am different from Bruce. I was born in the shadows. I grew up in the shadows. I know the rules in the dark. I follow those rules. When necessary, I make new rules and I will eventually become the queen of the shadows."

"You're drunk."

Merlin said calmly:

"The Shadow will not have a queen, it will not obey anyone. Talia, are you sure that you have no influence on the Pond of Sarah? In my opinion, your current mental state is also somewhat."

"leader!"

Before Merlin could finish her words, the cabin door was pushed open. A pilot pointed anxiously outside the porthole and said to Talia:

"Our city in South Darbat was attacked!"
Chapter completed!
