Daniel Willard played his part to a T. When Lady Vic arrived, he hit the floor like everyone else, though he did look around to make sure no one was hurt, including Mr. Wayne.
Daniel also noted when the assistant said he was going to get help. He couldn't help but notice how certain the young man seemed that help would be near enough to save all of them. Lady Vic could have killed everyone in the room by the time Terry got back with security.
Of course, when Bruce Wayne smirked at Lady Vic, Damien /knew/ that the old man wasn't expecting security to show either.
Cue the Batman's appearance. Batman fought against Lady Vic with skill, but nowhere near the kind of skill from Grandfather's stories, or even the ones Father told.
Then Lady Vic and Batman were both gone and "Terry" returned, out of breath and saying police were on the way. Of course, Damien knew just as well as Terry knew that there was a phone less than ten feet or so outside the office. The secretary would have called the cops if she'd seen anything through the open door.
And Damien notes a hint of blood seeping through Terry's shirt on the arm where Batman was cut only moments before.
Ah. So the mantle has finally passed, has it? Damien thinks.
When Bruce Wayne immediately rejects their deal, Daniel Willard looks shocked, and maybe even offended, though he says nothing. The board member who'd invited Daniel to present says that he'll talk to Mr. Wayne once he's less shaken.
Inside, the Demon's Head smiles. He'd never expected a deal with Wayne Enterprises, though such might have been amusing. All he'd wanted to know was already shown to him.
"Very well, Mr. Wayne. I am glad to see that you are all right." Daniel says apologetically.
"I did not know that Gotham could be so..random." Daniel says, turning to collect his scattered papers.
Soon enough, Damien's driver picks him up to take him to his penthouse in Gotham.
"It seems that the Bat and the Demon's Head will renew their rivalry for another generation." Damien muses, as the limo leaves the area.
