Three days later.
Anton returned to New York from Los Angeles.
At the same time.
The old man working at Wayne Company and John received a text message from Anton.
Upon seeing the message, the old man and John Jameson were instantly shocked.
The next second.
They found each other, rushed out of Wayne Company, returned home, and approached Anton to inquire about the situation.
Both were surprised that Anton had merely gone on a trip, and upon his return, they suddenly had a new descendant.
"Anton!"
"What going on?"
Both were excited and curious to know where exactly Anton had found a little life.
However, given Anton recent behavior, but considering his previous playboy lifestyle, suddenly having a son was not too surprising.
This could be considered a fine tradition learned from Anton cheap old man, John Jameson, who was also a model of premarital pregnancy.
"You see for yourselves."
Anton pointed to the crib in front of him, where a child of about one year old with fair skin was lying, his mouth wide open, his eyes emitting a pure light, smiling at the old man and John Jameson, melting their hearts.
"He really looks like you."
"Not bad, not bad, you did well this time. This is probably the most correct thing you've done aside from joining the Justice League."
The old man and John Jameson were overjoyed.
Despite the surprise, seeing a new life added to the family brought them indescribable joy.
"Looks a lot like me?"
Anton had a strange expression, looking at the two men, doubting if their eyes were failing them.
If the Hell Baron truly was his son, wouldn't that imply he had relations with a female devil?
Was his taste that peculiar?
"Forget it."
Anton waved his hand: "No joking with you guys, he not my biological son, he a little guy I've adopted."
"Adopted?"
The old man and John paused, their joy frozen, puzzled by Anton actions.
They didn't believe Anton would suddenly develop a big heart and adopt a child.
Even if Anton recent actions had significantly changed their view of him, it still didn't seem like him to settle down and raise a child.
"What really going on?"
Both stared at Anton, waiting for his explanation.
"He is a very special child with some unique abilities. To prevent any accidents, after discussing with the Justice League, we decided that I should adopt him and raise him."
Anton briefly explained, concealing the true identity of the Hell Baron and emphasizing his special abilities.
Although the old man and John were quite capable of handling information, knowing that Anton had adopted a devil might not be easily accepted.
Some things are better left unknown to them for now.
As the little guy grows up and their affection deepens, knowing the truth later would make them more likely to accept reality.
"Since it a decision by the Justice League, then it settled."
The old man said seriously, "Next time something like this happens, please make sure to discuss it with us.
Even though we wouldn't refuse, we are also members of this family, do you understand?"
"Understood."
Anton nodded, "I'll be careful. However, I don't think something like this will happen again."
"Good," the old man said.
"Looking at you, you're not fit to take care of a child. I'm going to contact a nanny immediately to take care of this child.
You go about your business, and don't come bothering me unless it necessary."
"Get lost," John Jameson said unenthusiastically.
His attitude was more apparent than the old man.
Of course, although the child was not biologically theirs, they wouldn't neglect the Hell Baron simply because of that.
Since they had adopted the child, they naturally had to take responsibility to the end.
That the basic principle of being decent people.
"Right," the old man said, seeing Anton about to leave, and suddenly remembering something, asked, "What the child name?"
"Anu En Ramo," Anton replied.
After handing over the Hell Baron to the old man care, Anton relaxed and checked the inventory.
Another matter dealt with.
He was in a good mood.
After all, this operation not only dealt with the situation involving the Hell as described by the Ancient One, but it also brought substantial gains.
The justice value in the system panel increased to 50 million.
This was the highest record of justice value accumulated by Anton so far, meeting one of the conditions for exchanging for the ultimate Batman armor if doubled.
Although the utility of the justice value was severely limited after the system imposed additional conditions, it was not completely useless.
This gave Anton some extra confidence to face the difficult situations that would inevitably arise in the future.
This was a kind of assurance that neither Superman nor Shazam could give him.
"So, now from the changed future that the Ancient One saw, two things have already come to pass..." Anton pondered.
No need to mention the Hell Baron.
As for the situation with the Spawn, the Men in Black also moved Jason Wynn, the villain from the military to the Men in Black, assigning him to some field operations.
With Agent Z watching Jason Wynn, Anton wasn't worried about Wynn getting out of control.
Should he make any moves, the Men in Black would act swiftly in conjunction with District 13 and the Dark Justice League to eliminate the threat.
But for now, Jason Wynn seemed quite honest and didn't do anything out of line.
Of course, neither Anton nor Z would think that Jason Wynn was innocent.
Anton knew the plot.
Z trusted Anton, as well as the intelligence network of the Justice League.
Moreover, there were two more things Anton needed to keep an eye on.
One, naturally, was the situation with the Power Stone, or the Orb, far in the universe. Nick Fury and Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, were watching over this, so Anton didn't need to pay much attention, just wait for the signal.
The second, of course, concerned Tony Stark Industries latest release, the artificial intelligence assistant, Ultron.
This matter didn't require anyone else help to monitor. Anton himself, being in the thick of it and with his vast intelligence network, could easily gather information about Ultron.
Recently, Ultron market share had steadily increased, almost turning Stark Industries into a monopoly in the artificial intelligence assistant industry.
However, the Sewer Lab, Donatello, and others surveillance operation on the AI assistant, Ultron, seemed to have been detected by Ultron, or rather, by Tony Stark behind Ultron.
The Sewer Lab could not obtain any useful information from it.
The operation was at a standstill.
"Tony, that guy... Whatever he plans to use Ultron for, he should have started planning the second phase by now, right?" Anton mused.
