Chapter 014: Family Tradition

In this dream, Wang Bo dreamed that he had become Dante.

Not that Italian Renaissance poet.

He is the son of the legendary demon swordsman Sparda, the twin brother of Vergil, often referred to by hostile demons as the Son of Sparda. Possessing a half-human, half-demon lineage, he inherited his father's sense of justice and his mother Eva's gentleness.

In his youth, he once used the name Tony Redgrave as a mercenary, a name even engraved on his two beloved guns, Ebony and Ivory.

He could be said to be something of a paranormal investigator, or perhaps a vigilante, for his entire life has been spent in a struggle against supernatural and brutal demons, rescuing humanity from their clutches.

Although he did not aim to become a superhero, he still opened a mercenary agency called "Devil May Cry," which also served as his only residence.

On the surface it was an ordinary office, but its real business was hunting the demons that spread across the world. It did not accept outside commissions, was always deeply in debt, and openly professed a six-day weekend policy, refusing to take on work.

Although he is usually lazy, unmotivated, and seems unreliable, as a demon hunter and descendant of the legendary demon swordsman, he always makes demons taste fear.

He had beaten demons, stabbed his own brother, and of course been stabbed by his brother as well.

And he had even been stabbed by his own partner, Tracy.

The worst part was that he had also been stabbed by his own brother's son.

But even so, he was still the son of the demon Sparda.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Wang Bo woke from his dream and couldn't help touching his chest.

Fortunately, there was no hole in his chest.

This made Wang Bo breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Wang Bo didn't expect that his third free ability would be Dante, the male protagonist of Devil May Cry.

This was somewhat frightening.

After all, Wang Bo had not forgotten that Dante spent his entire life alternating between stabbing others and being stabbed. Could it be that after acquiring Dante's abilities, he too would be stabbed?

No way, Wang Bo refused with all his might.

He was afraid of pain.

But whenever Wang Bo thought of Dante's family tradition of stabbing, he felt a dull ache in his chest.

However, Wang Bo quickly realized that he actually had no siblings, and the family tradition did not exist. Moreover, he was at least a superman with a body of steel. As long as his strength improved, even if a planet were smashed directly into his face, he would not waver.

Let alone a mere sword.

After getting out of bed, Wang Bo walked into the bathroom and glanced at the mirror. Good, his hair hadn't turned white, nor had his eyes become ice-blue; he still had black hair and black pupils.

This meant that Wang Bo was not affected by the bloodline of the Spartan family.

However, Wang Bo still felt a powerful bloodline force within his body, which was currently in a latent period and had not fully awakened.

However, as Wang Bo breathed, the ripples reverberated ceaselessly within his blood. He felt his ripple force grow stronger, and under its influence, this bloodline power seemed to be gradually awakening.

It would probably take no more than half a year for the bloodline power to fully awaken.

After washing his face, Wang Bo walked out of the bathroom, made himself a sandwich, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV, which was broadcasting a major news story.

Bruce Wayne, the young master of Wayne Enterprises who had been missing from Gotham City for seven years, returned yesterday.

This matter immediately caused a huge sensation.

Although Wang Bo lived in Metropolis, Wayne Enterprises was unquestionably the leading enterprise in Gotham City—not just in Gotham, but across the entire United States, it was a renowned super-corporation.

So Bruce Wayne's reputation remained well known not only in Gotham City but also in other parts of the United States.

When he disappeared, the Wayne family butler had searched everywhere for the young master of the house.

The whole of America knew.

After Bruce Wayne had been missing for seven years, many people believed the man was dead.

Not long ago, the CEO of Wayne Enterprises had submitted a death report for Bruce Wayne, intending to sell off his shares, but unfortunately, Bruce Wayne was one step ahead.

Before leaving, he had already transferred all his shares and property into the hands of his butler.

This completely thwarted the plans of Wayne Enterprises' CEO.

And now, no one had expected that Bruce Wayne would return.

After being missing for seven years, a man who had been legally declared dead, a man of immense wealth, had actually returned once again.

This is simply legendary.

So the whole United States was stirred up, and even the Metropolis was reporting on this matter.

This was absolutely huge news. Countless people went mad trying to report the story, hoping to interview the man who had been missing for seven years and find out where he had been.

Unfortunately, all the reporters were stopped outside the door, and no one was able to interview the man who had been missing for seven years.

And Bruce Wayne would not tell anyone else where he had been during the seven years he was missing.

This is his secret.

To be honest, Wang Bo was also quite surprised when he heard that Bruce Wayne had returned.

He knew Bruce Wayne would return after seven years of disappearance, but he hadn't expected it to be yesterday—no, perhaps not yesterday; maybe he had already come back long ago, only showing up yesterday.

However, this way, the time for Bruce Wayne to discover the Batcave and meet Spider-Gwen was also approaching.

One really doesn't know what Bruce Wayne's reaction would be when, after painstakingly finding the Batcave, he discovers that there is already a Spider-Woman inside.

Was it bewilderment, or disbelief?

Wang Bo found the mere thought amusing.

Interesting as it was, Wang Bo had no intention of going back for a look. His life now was so wonderful, ordinary and plain, and he really didn't want to be disturbed by anyone.

Ring, ring, ring...

However, heaven does not follow human wishes. Just at that moment, Wang Bo's phone suddenly rang.

Wang Bo answered the phone, and a familiar voice came through.

"Hello, Adam!"

"Leonardo?" Wang Bo instantly recognized the voice. "How did you find me?"

Wang Bo remembered that when he left Gotham City, he had thrown away his original phone. The phone he was using now was a new one he bought after arriving in Metropolis.

"It wasn't easy to find you, Adam. Didn't expect that, did you? Even if you hide in Metropolis, you can't escape our grasp. You should know the consequences of betraying the family." Leonardo's voice was agitated; finding Wang Bo had clearly excited him.
