Meiman: Get the Pleasant Goat template at the beginning

Chapter 229 I will not help a potential enemy!

"roll!"

As Ian gave a sharp shout, all the gangsters who were beaten up by Rachel ran away.

Organizations like gangs neither have complete institutional support to mobilize social resources like bureaucrats, nor do they have complete discipline education like violent organizations like the army.

What maintains them is money and so-called loyalty. Without the constraints of discipline and ideals, a single act of violence can completely destroy them.

Ian and Rachel possess the kind of violence that would crush them completely.

The number of people in the construction site behind him far exceeded these gangsters, not to mention that most of them had been rolled out of the hell on earth in Gotham.

Even without Ian and Rachel, these guys wouldn't be able to make any waves, and would even be beaten into pieces by the workers.

"Everyone, keep working and ignore this garbage!"

Ian did not hide his identity, let alone his purpose. Therefore, after the Gotham gangsters were killed one by one, his reputation spread throughout Gotham, and almost everyone knew his name.

"Mr. Ian, don't worry about us."

"That's right, I can hit these cosmopolitan people to the hospital with just one punch."

……

The workers gathered around Ian and boasted about themselves, but they were not all lies.

Although Metropolis is in chaos now, compared with Gotham, it still lacks the sense of madness of having nowhere to go after setting off on a dead end. Once they take action, they are no match at all.

But Ian was not interested in stirring up regional conflicts between the two cities, so he changed the topic to the issue of treatment. After understanding the general situation, he stopped talking.

The workers stopped pestering him and dispersed. At this time, Rachel squeezed in beside Ian, pulled him and asked, "What interesting things have you encountered in the universe?"

"see this!"

Ian opened his palm, and the blue lantern ring lit up. The blue lantern energy materialized under his will into a miniature phoenix, which came to life and made a clear cry from its mouth.

It flapped its wings and left Ian's palm. Its beautiful figure caught Rachel's eyes, and finally landed on her shoulder.

"This time I met the lantern beast Yao Shihuang. This is her power."

Ian briefly told Rachel the story of the lampbeast, which made the little girl's eyes start to sparkle.

She said regretfully: "If I had known there was such a fun thing, I would have gone to space with you no matter what."

Ian stretched out his finger, flicked his forehead, and reminded: "This is not a fun thing. The lamp beast involves a huge crisis. If it is not handled well, the entire universe will sink into death."

"We've all been through so much trouble, what's so special about a bird."

Seeing Rachel muttering under her breath, Ian also gave up on explaining the Blackest Night.

There are enough troubles that need to be dealt with now, there is no need to add unnecessary pressure to others.The Black Death Emperor is of course a very troublesome opponent, but his tentacles cannot yet enter the physical universe. Of course, vigilance is necessary, but one cannot go too far.

Ian put his arm around Rachel's shoulders, took the little girl away from the construction site, walked along the newly formed asphalt road, and told her about Diana.

But the little girl's reaction was beyond Ian's expectation. Instead of blaming Ian, she pestered him to ask who confessed his love first.

Ian was speechless and ignored this helpless question, explaining the real reason why he came to the metropolis.

"Okay, let's stop this topic. I want to meet Leia Luthor and talk to her about some business matters."

Rachel patted her barren chest and said confidently: "I haven't seen Leah much since you tempted her to set up your own company. However, I can give it a try."

"It doesn't matter. I must see her today. It doesn't matter in what way."

Ian kissed Rachel's smooth forehead, and the red crystal between her eyebrows flashed a few times - it was the Demon of the Three Palaces expressing dissatisfaction.

"What does it have to do with you if our boyfriend and girlfriend are making out?"

Ian was not polite to his nominal father-in-law at all, and directly drew magic runes around the red crystal stone, immediately blocking the channel between the Three Palace Demons and the outside world.

Rachel touched her forehead and showed a surprised smile: "It's finally quiet. This guy keeps nagging in my ears day and night. It's really annoying."

She grabbed Ian's arm and said with a smile: "I have always been worried that if I do it myself, the Three Palace Demons will find an opportunity to escape. But Ian, you are so good, you succeeded in one go."

Ian looked at the little girl's arrogant look and said with a smile: "I'll give you a task to pick out all the defensive magic in the Magic Fairy's Hundred Treasures Book."

"No problem, I have learned all the magic in the Demon Fairy's Treasure Book. But lamp beasts do not belong to the ranks of magic. Are you sure magic will be useful to them?"

Rachel was used to Ian's habit of being serious anytime and anywhere. She leaned against him and followed his words and answered.

Ian looked at the seemingly boneless Rachel fondly, supported her with one hand, and said: "Yao Shihuang's power is not very offensive, while the Lantern Ring is more focused on defense and amplification. I Just borrow the framework of these magics, and the blue light energy will naturally replace the magic effects.

As for the lack of attack, it can be supplemented by the abnormal energy system. "

"Since you have already planned it, I will listen to you."

Rachel leaned against Ian and took a deep breath. There was no body odor on him, instead there was a smell similar to sunshine, which was intoxicating.

"Do business!"

Ian reached out and flicked Rachel's forehead, flicking the fantasy in her head away.

"What are you doing?"

"Contact Leia Luthor quickly. This is a major event involving the entire metropolitan reconstruction project. Stop thinking about it."

After being sanctioned by Ian, Rachel woke up and quickly contacted Leah. After learning that she was in the company, she directly opened the latitude gap, passed through the space, and came to the door of Leah's office.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

Rachel knocked on the door, while Ian observed the building at his feet. The corridors were covered with marble, with crystal chandeliers overhead and potted flowers that were rare to see in autumn. The receptionists were all in suits and leather shoes.

He turned his head and looked outside through the glass window. Not far away was a construction site. The workers of Wayne Group were building a new metropolis in full swing under the strong sun. They were all sweating profusely and their skin was tanned by the sun. Dark. "Although the United States prides itself on being the world's number one in science and technology, in the end, the fruits of these technologies are not distributed much to workers."

Ian secretly evaluated the situation around Leah Technology. Soon the door of the office opened, and Leah, dressed in business attire and wearing high heels, walked out of the door.

"Rachel!" Leah gave Rachel a big hug first, then looked at Ian to one side, and resumed her ice face.

She didn't have a good impression of Ian. This man was too aggressive. The last time they met, he turned her into a loner with no way out in just a few words. That feeling was really unforgettable.

So even if Leah is now the boss of Leah Technology and has gotten rid of the bad things within the Luthor Group, she still has no gratitude to Ian.

Ian noticed Leah's attitude, but didn't care about it. He said directly: "I am here to communicate with you on behalf of Bruce and Oliver. Find a quiet place!"

Leah wanted to drive Ian away, but reason told her that she couldn't do this. Without the support of Wayne Group and Quinn Group, Leah's technology would be swallowed up in an instant.

"Come into my office and talk!"

Leah secretly adjusted her emotions and invited Ian and Rachel to come in.

"Your affinity has expired with Leah!" Rachel communicated with Ian using telekinesis.

Ian said nonchalantly: "I have a good relationship with Bruce because we have the same ideas, so we can convince them theoretically. But Leia Luthor...at least I'm not familiar with it. At this stage, I can only use the situation to Force her to side with us.

Since it was forced, of course she would not have a good impression of me. "

Rachel actually felt that since everyone was friends, there was no need to make the relationship so tense, but seeing the serious expressions on both Ian and Leah's face, she still stood by Ian's side.

"What do you want to communicate with me? Don't I support you enough?"

Leah turned on the office's protection device to isolate herself from the possibility of being eavesdropped.

Ian then waved and added a few more magic spells to the office. He stared at Leah's gray pupils for a while before saying, "Lex hasn't contacted you recently?"

A look of boredom appeared on Leah's face: "If you are here to see my brother, then I can tell you clearly that there is no connection between us."

"Maybe!"

Ian looked at Leah's resistance in amusement, and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do next?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about?" Leah frowned: "How I run my own company is my business, and outsiders have no right to interfere."

Seeing this woman pretending to be stupid, Ian clicked his tongue: "I'm just saying this to you for the sake of Rachel and Kara. Since you are pretending to be stupid, I won't be polite."

He said bluntly: "You were able to draw resources from the Luthor Group to establish Leah Technology because Bruce and Oliver were behind it. We hope you will become our supporter in Metropolis.

But since the beginning of the metropolitan reconstruction project, you have remained indifferent. Not only did you sit back and watch the chaotic gang organizations harass the workers on the construction site, but you still moved the universe when the business and political circles came to make things difficult for us. "

"I'm not your slave." The most uncomfortable part in Leia's heart was exposed by Ian. She leaned forward and shouted: "The Luther Group is our family's business, and how to deal with these resources is my own business. "

"Bullshit!"

Ian completely refused to give Leah face and retorted bluntly: "According to my opinion, social and economic development should be the gradual growth of the public economy and slowly overwhelm the private economy. The assets of the Luther Group are all the products of the labor of its employees.

According to neoliberalism, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Bruce, Oliver, and I could have split up the Luthor Group directly, but because of the opportunity for Rachel and Kara, we helped you set up your own company.

So, no matter from which perspective, you have no right to say such things. "

Ian's words were like knives inserted directly into Leah's heart, tearing apart her fantasy and forcing her to face reality.

No matter how smart Leia is, after Lex Luthor disappears, the resources she can mobilize alone are pitiful, and it is impossible to achieve anything.

At this time, Ian extended an olive branch to her, which really did Leah a big favor and gave her a chance to be independent.

Logically speaking, Leia would like to thank Ian and the others for this combination, but the inherent ambition of the Luther family was also revealed in the process.

With a mother who doesn't care about her husband and children at all, and a brother who ignores human life just to prove that he is better than aliens, Leah just hopes not to experience the helpless situation of being attacked by the Luther Group's board of directors again.

In Leah's view, if you want to never experience something like this again, you must master your own power.

Leah does not reject the alliance with Ian and the others, but the company Leah Technology must belong only to her.In order to make Wayne and Quinn realize this, she chose to do nothing and not help them.

Ian is very aware of this mentality of speculators, which is commonly known as "who wins and who helps."

"You are indeed not as good as Lex. That big bald guy is willing to give up his own life to achieve his goal, but Leah does not have such courage."

Ian's words made Leah very dissatisfied, but he didn't care about the girl's mentality at all, and continued: "If it were your brother, he would definitely join the businessmen in the metropolis and try every means to prevent us from standing firm in this city. heel."

"If it were me, I would join the superheroes, use the resources at hand to seize control of their path forward, and turn myself into a leader."

"But you did nothing and missed a great opportunity. No one will accept you again."

Ian found out Leah's attitude and issued an ultimatum: "We will clear out everyone in the metropolis who stands in front of us. Now you have to make a choice and express your position."

Leah looked at Rachel, who was silent, knowing that she could not solve this problem in other ways.

"If I don't choose you, how do you want to deal with me? Kill me now?" Leah said with full resentment. She felt that there was no difference between Ian and the shareholders of Luther Group.

Ian asked: "Why did I kill you?"

"Killing people doesn't do me any good in this matter. If you don't agree to accept our discipline, Wayne and Quinn will withdraw their capital injection into Leah Technology. It's that simple!"

"But it's enough to drive me to jump off the building." Leah gritted her teeth as she stared at Ian.

"I have no obligation to help a stranger who might become my enemy."

Ian's voice gradually became colder, like the harshest judge waiting to issue a ruling.

Just when Leah was in a dilemma, gunfire suddenly rang out, and a bunch of drones flew outside the building and started shooting at Leah's office.
