Chapter 112 Chapter 112 (Overhaul) [VIP]
Megan punched the Joker in the face with a solid punch. It didn't hurt much and had no deterrent effect, but it was full of rebellion, making the Joker think for a moment that she had learned the principles of "justice" and fighting criminals from Robin and Batman. Now, she has put it into practice on him.
The clown had a smile on his face, but his expression was ferocious and terrifying. He couldn't wait to question the child, and when he got the answer, it would be time to make a ruthless decision about her future. This was also the last chance he gave Megan. He had indulged her too much, which was why he spoiled the child to be so bold.
After he grabbed Megan's hand, he asked in confusion and surprise: "Why did you hit me?"
He pretended to show all kinds of complicated emotions on his pale face, as if he was hurt by Megan. After all, he planned what happened last night, but he really wanted to teach Megan a lesson, to let her learn to stay away from danger and not be disrespectful. He considered her for this, but what was Megan's reward?
- Should she fight him and challenge his authority, or should she fight him and challenge his authority? Or ...
The Joker had long noticed Megan's changing personality, her newfound self, but he hadn't expected her eccentricity to infuriate him. His sinister green eyes were filled with madness and confusion, and he asked with a distorted smile, "I gave you everything, and this is how you repay me?"
He raised an ungrateful child?
The Joker couldn't help but question himself. He gave Megan so much leniency, but he was still wrong?
But the more the Joker is willing to admit that Megan has always been a good child, the more curious he becomes about the reasons for her rebellion and gives her the opportunity to explain it.
If it were anyone else, the Joker would be sure that the moment they offended him, or even before they had the thought and hadn't done anything, he would take everything he had as a price, making them suffer a fate worse than death and then go to hell in agony. This was what he always did.
But Megan, who was sitting on the bed beside him, was being stared at fiercely by him, without any sign of panic or fear. She looked at her captured hand, then at the clown, her face showing only pure innocence, and she was still explaining herself, "Dad, have you learned it?"
Is this what she learned?
After expressing her meaning, she smiled with her eyes curved. Even though one of her hands was grabbed, it did not affect her movements. She leaned over directly, rubbed her head on the clown's arm, and then pushed herself into his arms, confident that no matter what she did, he would forgive her.
You know, they were a father and daughter with a deep bond! Megan firmly believed this lie, never questioning it. She was so innocent, naive, weak, and harmless. As for learning bad things? She always picked up whatever she saw. No one taught her that she had to learn good things. How could she tell right from wrong?
No one except Megan has this honor, but what kind of answer did this child give him?! Oh my God——
She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all, and thought that her outrageous act just now was just a demonstration of her "learning achievements"?
The Joker felt unreasonable. After all, he was too lenient with her, but how should he punish her?
Such a small little bear, and still pathetically ill, if he stopped giving her medicine for a few days, she would be back to her old self in a few days, and all his efforts would be in vain! This did not threaten Megan, but only made the clown unwilling, but he still smiled subtly and taught her: "Even so, you still did something wrong, Megan."
"You can do whatever you want, and you can say you've learned something, but how can you hit me? I brought you back to life, I saved you. If I want to punish you for your mistake, what if I stop giving you the pills?"
He actually thought about this question, but the answer was easy to come up with - what ability did Megan have? She was completely dependent on him. If he left and completely abandoned her, Megan would easily die. She couldn't live without pills, and even more so, she couldn't live without people to take care of her.
Megan, who was lying in his arms, did not fall into this language trap and said slowly, "Dad, you are bad."
She turned around and blamed him? Even though this was the clown's own child and he knew her well enough, sometimes, like this, he couldn't imagine what was going on in her head and how she came to this conclusion.
The clown laughed out of anger, and couldn't stop laughing. However, his emotions calmed down and he patted Megan on the shoulder, "What's wrong with me?" He was patient now and wanted to hear what other shocking words Megan had to say.
Megan's hand was released, and now she hugged the clown's hand and kissed him affectionately, and the clown also saw it...
She was indeed not lured away by Robin and Bats and influenced by them, but who knew what was going on in her not-so-smart little head? It was most likely something absurd that would make him laugh, and the Joker was already looking forward to it.
His child said, boasting that it was reasonable, "Dad, you asked me what I learned."
That's why Megan punched the clown in the face just to show off. She thought she was an obedient child and was still waiting for the clown's feedback, but he suddenly became unhappy and accused Megan of doing something wrong and saying excessive and upsetting words to her.
But she didn't care about her father, and even if he said "Dad is bad", she didn't take it to heart. Megan raised her head and looked at the clown. The clown's hideous face was fully reflected in her clear and transparent green eyes, but she never realized the danger of the clown. Even if he said he was bad now, they still snuggled up to each other, and no one pushed the other away first.
Megan moved her butt and got closer to him. It was still summer, and luckily there was air conditioning in the house. Whenever Megan was in the small building, the machine was always on. Sometimes she would think - oh, it turns out that she was just like the plants in Pami's greenhouse.
But she is looked after by her father.
Her thoughts wandered, and her eyes brightened, "Dad! I like playing like this." She thought this was just a game, rubbing the hand that had hit the clown's face, then stretched out her hand, clenched it into a fist, and waved it forward, as if she felt like a general leading thousands of troops with great momentum.
The clown looked at her silently as she said such outrageous words, but with such a happy and cheerful look, he actually thought of Megan's love of holding meetings with her dolls. Her playing house was always silent, without any clear role-playing, but she was the 'coordinator', putting her favorite dolls together, placing the ones she didn't like generally on the periphery, and not taking the ones she disliked the most from the toy shelf, letting them gather dust in the corner, and then Bob would tactfully clean them up.
So far, Megan's toy shelf is almost filled with things she likes and what she generally likes. She achieved this intentionally or unintentionally, but it also indirectly reflects the domineering nature of her character.
Megan treated him differently from others and was stingy with her emotions. Later, her domineering side was slowly revealed, but it made sense, just like Megan only paid attention to him at the beginning, immersed in her own world, and ignored everyone else. Her attitude was absolute, and it was the Joker who persuaded her to go out and make more friends.
But now, she felt that the things she loved shouldn't and couldn't be stopped. Who gave her this confidence? Was it the Joker himself?
He was amused, took the hand that Megan extended, and squeezed it in his hand, “But my child, you know that you have no talent for martial arts and you can’t achieve anything.”
Megan remembered this incident. Richard had mentioned it in front of her father and also talked about it with her, but the young child didn't know what martial arts were for or what they could bring her. She just listened to the clown and went to the club because her father gave her a teacher, so she went to learn and to better exercise her body.
"But I'm also Daddy's child," she added, "so it doesn't hurt when I hit him."
However, when Megan saw that the clown had a bad expression on his face, she jumped up from the bed, rubbed the part where the clown was hit, and comforted him, "Dad, it doesn't hurt." She also kissed his cheek.
clown:……
There was nothing to argue about between him and his own child, just like now when he told Megan that she was wrong, but she had a thousand reasons and ten thousand ways to reduce the seriousness of the matter and extinguish his anger. She only saw "love", only cared about herself and fun, and comforted him only for these things.
All she could say to him was excuses and something like 'it's fun, she likes it'.
The clown laughed glumly, pretending to be helpless and indulgent, "Okay, kid, then go on playing."
Even if Megan believed she was wrong under his guidance, when the clown began to recall, he found that no one had taught her right from wrong, let alone what to do after making a mistake. Even though there were a few lines of dialogue in the textbook, my God, what could a "sorry" mean? Megan still couldn't use it.
If anyone really wants to blame someone, it's all Robin and Batman's fault. They taught Megan bad things.
With a frivolous yet hypocritical smile on his face, he embraced Megan and accepted her 'explanation', acting as if there had never been any disagreement between them. He raised his voice and said to her in a comforting tone: "Oh, my child, let's get over this, okay?"
In the end, the Joker compromised, and Megan finally felt that there was no disagreement between them, and she still stubbornly followed him.
She saw the clown early in the morning, and he hadn't even gotten up to wash or eat breakfast yet. This was the most important thing. Of course, for the clown, the most important thing was to get her out of here.
She had all kinds of bad habits, and she had to follow him no matter what he did, which had annoyed him enough. He took one step in front, and Megan took two steps behind, fiddling with her short legs to stick close to him. After all the quarrels, their relationship remained the same.
As for whether the Joker's rampage in Gotham Harbor taught her anything, it has become an insignificant issue. Even if he failed, the Joker still has other opportunities.
"Go wash up and eat, Megan. I'll be here all day."
The Joker made a promise to this follower and even surrendered to her before he finally coaxed Megan to stop following him. Seeing her turn around, he couldn't help but sigh loudly. Who knew that raising a girl would be so troublesome? It's a pity that the Joker was unwilling to sunk costs and tried to salvage the value of her.
…
After breakfast, the Joker remained in the small building, while Megan asked for leave from Richard who came to visit her.
Today is not a holiday, and Megan always comes to him. Although she is young, she never slacks off in exercise and completes every movement seriously. Even when she cannot enter the state of meditation, she is very focused.
Megan is Richard's most special student. She was brought to him by the Joker and asked to be accepted as his student. She has almost no talent in martial arts, and the Joker only requires her to be physically healthy. He does not need to teach her any martial arts or make her a seasoned warrior.
Richard stood at the door without permission. He looked down and saw Megan's proud look on her face. She must have won a great victory in a 'war', which was why she looked like that.
Megan looked up at him with a cocky look, "Wow?"
She seemed fine and had no problems, but Richard was keenly aware of the residual atmosphere here. He asked Megan: "Have you solved the problem with your father?"
Megan was standing behind the door, holding a chubby doll in her arms. The doll had small eyes on its face, and her eyes were also wide open. She still looked childish and posed no threat to the clown.
So what kind of problems arose between them?
Richard was still thinking about this question when Megan answered him, "Dad, you said I was bad." She nodded affirmatively, saying that she was wrong was saying that she was bad.
The clown who stayed in the house listened to her gossiping and distorting the truth, but he was able to remain calm. He was immune to any outrageous words she said, and he couldn't tell Richard the reason - he was punched in the face by Megan, and she defeated him with her twisted logic before she could even teach her a lesson.
It would be strange if those words really came out of his mouth, look at—
That tone and that rhetoric sounded like an incompetent complaint, even dumping out family matters casually. Was he really lacking a way to control Megan? Or was he like the parents of children on the street, complaining while secretly showing off. This was too corny and did not suit him.
The Joker has nothing to say to Richard. They don't have much friendship between them. At most, Megan was pushed into his arms, but they still disliked each other. After all, Richard hated evil and had many students besides Megan who were "superheroes". He had a pretty good relationship with the Justice League, and the Joker saw this and chose him to be Megan's teacher for a little fun that only he could experience. It has to be said that the dramatic effect was maximized, but unfortunately only Richard knew his malice.
But he treated Meghan differently, smiling and threatening: “If you say another word, I’ll have to get busy with work.”
Megan turned around and yelled "Wow" at him, feeling that she was being mean, just like the naughty kids on the street, except that she was cuter and more mischievous.
The clown waved at her, "You're done talking, right? Then close the door and come back."
Then the obedient child closed the door and locked Richard outside, and she ran to the clown with a happy step, still relying on him intimately, and handed him the doll she took from the toy rack when she opened the door, but the clown was not interested in it.
The author has something to say:
This chapter has been overhauled, adding over 1,000 words.
The scene where Megan was crying was deleted and she was changed into a domineering and self-righteous proud little bear.
(Spreads his hands) He’s just a clown.
