Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 258 Part-time steel bone, tough Diana
If Amanda hadn't been caught in a mantra lasso right now, Roy and Diana would never believe anything she said.

After all, it is the most basic professional requirement for high-level officials in the beautiful country like Amanda to be full of lies.

But now, Amanda said such an answer while being caught in a lasso of mantra.

This has to convince them.

It was impossible for Amanda to resist the effects of the lasso of mantra.

This also means that what she said now is true.

After hearing Amanda's answer, Roy and Diana glanced at each other, with a bad premonition in their minds.

If Amanda didn't send someone to take away the pottery figurines that sealed the witch, then who took the pottery figurines.

After thinking for a few seconds, Diana continued to ask:
"How many people still know about the enchanted terracotta figurines?"

"Apart from me, only the person in charge who I sent to the altar cave to find the witch's heart knows."

Amanda replied quickly.

"Who is responsible for finding the witch's heart?"

"Where is he now?"

Diana pressed Amanda.

"His name is Sam Wilson, and he used to be a commander in the Sky Eye Society's action team."

"The day after the witch's heart was sent back, he died."

"He died in a traffic accident that I specially arranged."

Amanda said without changing her face.

What does it mean to turn one's face and deny others, this is it!
After hearing Amanda's answer, Diana's expression became serious.

"As far as you know, who else is interested in witch figurines besides yourself?"

Diana asked with a serious face.

"I just know that the two of you are very interested in the enchanted terracotta figurines."

Amanda replied quickly.

After looking at Amanda for a few seconds, Diana took back the lasso of mantra.

Obviously, Amanda didn't know who took away the enchanted terracotta figurines in the museum, and there was no point in asking further.

After the mantra lasso was taken back, it immediately returned to its ordinary appearance.

Hanging the mantra lasso around her waist, Diana said to Amanda:
"Although the terracotta figurines of the witch in the museum were not taken away by someone, but for safety reasons, the heart of the witch cannot stay with you."

"Hand over the witch's heart, and bring Barbara back to prison."

"This is not a request."

"If you refuse, we will forcibly take away the witch's heart. You should know that we have such abilities."

On weekdays, Diana is a very gentle and easy-to-talk person.

But now, she was acting extremely tough, not giving Amanda a chance to refuse at all.

In the final analysis, this is all the trouble caused by Amanda's desire to control the witch privately.

Otherwise, so many things would not have happened at all.

More importantly, because of Amanda's ambition, the whereabouts of the sealed witch terracotta figurines are unknown, and it is unknown who will fall into their hands.

"I can give you the heart of the witch."

Amanda replied without any hesitation.

Although she is the representative of the beautiful country in charge of superhuman affairs, she knows that neither she nor the beautiful country has the strength to deal with top superhumans.

Previously, the list of top superhumans only included Superman and Wonder Woman.

Now, add Roy's name.

Amanda went to the desk, picked up the internal landline phone on it, and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Amanda quickly said:
"Bring in the AKT-49."

"Right now!"

After speaking, Amanda hung up the phone.

In less than a minute, a man in a black suit came to the office with a black password suitcase.

Then, handed the suitcase to Amanda.

After handing the suitcase to Amanda, the man left the office without saying anything, and closed the door of the office at the same time.

From the beginning to the end, this man ignored Diana and Roy who inexplicably appeared in the office, as if neither of them existed.

After the black suit left the office, Amanda continued:

"The heart of the witch is yours now."

Amanda put the suitcase on the desk, entered the password in front of Diana and Roy, and opened the suitcase.

In the next second, Amanda's expression became very ugly.

This suitcase is indeed a suitcase specially used to store the witch's heart.

But now, the witch's heart is not in the suitcase.

The place where the witch's heart was supposed to be placed is now empty with nothing.

"Are you kidding us?"

Glancing at the suitcase with only bombs and detonators, Roy said to Amanda.

"I swear, the witch's heart was here before."

Amanda replied immediately.

Although Roy's ability is not particularly clear, one thing Amanda is sure of is that Roy is more difficult than Diana.

"Your oath doesn't have much credibility."

"Also, I don't think anyone could steal the witch's heart from the suitcase under your nose."

"Besides the reason that you transferred the witch's heart early in the morning, I can't think of any other reasons."

Roy said unhurriedly.

Although Amanda has shown superb acting skills now, his knowledgeable domineering did not perceive the corresponding emotions in Amanda.

how to say?

Amanda's shock and surprise were only on the surface.

Her heart is still very calm.

"I don't have the ability to predict the future, how could I know that you will come here to ask for the heart of the witch."

Amanda asked back.

"You really don't have the ability to predict, but you already guessed that we will come to the secret base to find you tonight."

"Or, when you met Diana and me at the apartment tonight, you were expecting the worst."

"Of course, you can deny it."

"However, you should know that Diana can easily ask the answer as long as she uses the lasso of mantra again."

"Don't waste everyone's time, hand over the witch's heart."

After hearing Roy's words, Amanda's expression suddenly became extremely cold.

After a few seconds, she said slowly:
"I have to say, I underestimated you!"

After seeing Roy and Diana in the apartment, Amanda knew that she probably couldn't keep the witch's heart.

But even so, she still intends to give it a try.

So, she adopted a method that is not very clever, but it is easy to make people dark, and requires some luck.

She knew that Diana had the lasso of mantra in her hand, and she also knew that she could not be immune to the lasso of mantra.

But that doesn't mean she has no chance at all.

The lasso of mantra can only make her tell the truth, but cannot control her specific actions.

Before arriving at the base, she had someone transfer the witch's heart.

To be precise, it was transferred to another suitcase that was exactly the same.

As long as Diana asked her to hand over the witch's heart and the mantra lasso was not tied to her body, she would have a chance to exchange the civet cat for the prince in front of Roy and Diana.

More importantly, because what she said earlier was the truth, she could better mislead Roy and Diana and pretend that she didn't know.

Although this is not a 100% reliable method, in the current situation, this is the best arrangement she can make.

However, she would never think of it.

Her true emotions are the biggest loophole.

In other words, she never thought that Roy would have the arrogance to perceive her true emotions.

"Okay, don't waste everyone's time, hand over the witch's heart."

"You don't want to see me and Diana doing it yourself."

Roy continued.

Amanda sighed helplessly, and picked up the landline on the desk again.

A few minutes later, the man in the black suit picked up the suitcase again and came to the office.

Unlike before, after entering the office, he looked at Roy and Diana warily, and put the suitcase on the desk with some reluctance.

Although he didn't know much information, he knew that Roy and Diana were not in the same camp as them.

After putting down the suitcase, the man in the black suit did not leave, but stood in front of Amanda like a bodyguard.

Roy ignored the man's gaze, went straight to the desk, and opened the suitcase according to the password he saw just now.

This time, he finally saw the beating heart of the witch with a gray surface and a faint green light.

After closing the suitcase, Roy said to Amanda:
"Isn't it good to cooperate early, I have to waste everyone's time."

After speaking, he came to Diana with his suitcase, and wrapped his left hand around Diana's small waist.

Without any hesitation, he mobilized the power of the stars, and flashed in front of Amanda and the man in the black suit.

In just an instant, he and Diana left the underground base and teleported to the roof of the building a few blocks away.

After reaching the top of the building, Roy said to Diana:
"I will leave the witch's heart to you for safekeeping."

"Personally, I suggest that you change something to hold the witch's heart."

"If nothing else happens, there should be some hidden positioning devices inside this suitcase."

"Even if not, you probably wouldn't want to put a bomb that can be detonated remotely and a witch's heart together."

After speaking, Roy handed the suitcase to Diana.

Looking at the suitcase Roy handed over, Diana took it without thinking too much.

"Okay, I will take good care of the witch's heart and never let it fall into the hands of others."

Diana said quickly.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"As for who actually took the terracotta figurine that sealed the witch from the museum, it's up to you to find a way to investigate."

"If you need my help at that time, you can contact me again."

Roy continued.

"Uh-huh!"

Diana nodded back.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, I wish you a pleasant night."

As soon as the words fell, Roy disappeared in front of Diana, and flashed back directly to the presidential suite of the hotel.

Although I ran a lot of places tonight, and finally figured out the instigator behind Barbara.

But he and Diana didn't have much to gain tonight.

The heart of the witch has indeed fallen into their hands now, but the terracotta figurine that sealed the witch has disappeared.

So all in all, the crisis is still not resolved.

However, with the witch's heart in hand, even if the witch is really released, it's not a big problem.

The heart is the Achilles heel of witches.

Unless someone can temporarily release the connection between the witch and the heart.

Otherwise, even if the witch came out, there wouldn't be much noise.

After coming to the wine cabinet, he took out a bottle of whiskey, and after sitting alone on the sofa in the living room and drinking a few glasses, Roy walked towards the bedroom.

……

the next day.

hotel restaurant.

Roy and Selina sat face to face, tasting the breakfast in front of them.

"Where did you and Diana go last night?"

Selina asked while eating breakfast.

"I didn't go to many places, but I went to the museum's temporary warehouse, Amanda's apartment and secret base."

Roy didn't hide from Selina, and briefly told what happened last night.

After hearing that he and Diana went directly to the underground base and took the witch's heart from Amanda, Selina looked at Roy in surprise.

It didn't surprise Selina that Roy would do this.

After all, Roy didn't pay much attention to the officials of the beautiful country.

But she didn't expect that Diana would do the same.

"Then what are you going to do next, continue to search for the terracotta figurines that seal the witch?"

Selina continued to ask.

"I'm definitely looking for it."

"But don't worry too much, anyway, the witch's heart is already on Diana's side."

"As for how to find the terracotta figurines, Diana should ask some professionals for help."

The professional Roy mentioned was none other than a half-human, half-mechanical steel frame.

Although until now, he has not seen the steel bone.

But he knew that both Diana and Clark had a connection to Cyborg.

It's just that, unlike Diana and Clark who come out to stop criminals and help others from time to time, Cyborg is relatively low-key.

If Diana and Clark are full-time superheroes, then the current Cyborg is a bit like a part-time superhero.

"Aren't you going to help find it together?"

Selina continued to ask.

"Not very interested."

"Besides, we just came to the metropolis to travel and relax."

"This kind of matter should be left to the local residents of the metropolis."

Roy said with a smile.

"All right!"

"Since you don't plan to find the pottery figurines, why don't you accompany me to Metropolitan University?"

"Maggie called me this morning and asked if I wanted to stop by the university."

It's not the weekend now, so Maggie still has to stay in school to attend classes.

However, Maggie didn't plan to wait until the weekend to find Selina, so she took the initiative to call and ask Selena if she wanted to go to Metropolitan University.

"I also can."

"Since you want to go, then go."

Roy quickly replied.

"Well, let's go there after breakfast."

"Speaking of which, I haven't really been to college yet, and I don't know what it's like to take classes in college."

Selina said expectantly.

Although she wasn't a student at the Met, the Met didn't mind outsiders watching.

Of course, if you want to audit the course, you still have to go through the formalities.
