Chapter 294 Potential Conflict (Please support!)

Ian watched Circe disappear before returning to the Hall of Justice.

The superheroes are cleaning up the mess.

Zatanna wasted no time recording the traces on the ground.

When they heard the sound of someone approaching, they all looked up, saw Ian, and greeted him.

Ian, who was frowning, did not respond to his friends as usual. He just walked through the hall and returned to his office with steady and fast steps.

He stood in front of the window. Through the glass, he could see the new high-rise buildings rising from the ground in the metropolis, the cars running on the highways, and the people running for their lives.

With Circe's last words echoing in his ears, Ian tapped his fingers on the window sill a few times, then sat on the chair, turned on the computer, randomly found a browser, and entered the three words "Amazon" .

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
As soon as the entry on the website popped up, before Ian could even look at it, there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Please come in!"

In Ian's voice, Bruce walked in, taking off his Batman hood.

He naturally sat on the chair opposite Ian, crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want us to know that you have something on your mind, then your actions shouldn't be so abnormal."

A smile appeared on Ian's lips, he shook his head and said, "Do you all think so?"

"That's right, but they don't dare to come to you directly, so let me ask."

Bruce nodded slightly, not too much, but enough for people to see clearly: "So, Ian, what did the witch say to you?"

"Nothing important."

Ian had no intention of hiding anything. He put his left hand on the table and tapped his five fingers on the table. He looked up slightly and said, "Cercy told me that because Apokolips invaded the earth again, those old guys sleeping on the mysterious side They woke up one after another."

Batman understood what he meant almost instantly: "So, those sleeping old guys will not contribute to resisting Apokolips, but may cause trouble to mankind."

"If Circe didn't lie, then it's not a possibility, but a certainty!"

Ian took a deep breath, with a worried look on his face: "Almost all the truly bloody people among the old gods died in the ancient wars, and the remaining gods all changed with the withering of the old god system. Became a crazy bastard.

Only the Amazons and Atlantis, human descendants, still retain courage and honor. "

"Not to mention, those old guys are not selfless saints. Their understanding of the world is still stuck in the era of slavery thousands of years ago. How can they bow to the civilization created by humans?"

Bruce didn't dwell on this issue for too long. He immediately prepared for a fight and asked, "So where do you think those old guys will start?"

"There are so many hidden mysterious items in this world. Even if the number of seconds is the same, it will take several years. How can I know what crazy things these old people will do?"

Although Ian shook his head slightly, there was no confusion in his eyes: "But judging from Circe's performance, there must be someone dissatisfied with the Amazon tribe. Otherwise, how could Circe, a witch who has lived in seclusion for who knows how many years, do this? I locked onto Diana as soon as she showed up.”

He turned the pulley with his right hand, and the web page was full of news about "Paradise Island signed an agreement with the United Nations", which was even more popular than Diana.

This made Ian even more certain that Circe was guided by someone.

He turned the computer screen to Bruce, pointed to the news items and said: "Look at these news, even if Circe hates the Amazons, she should attack Paradise Island first. Why should she specifically seduce the princess of Kasnia and use her to attack Diana? ?

Doesn't she know that doing this will alert the enemy and make Paradise Island vigilant? "

Bruce activated his detective brain, followed the logic pointed out by Ian, and thought about it. He held his chin with his right hand and whispered: "Maybe the order can be reversed. The witch bewitched the princess first, and then discovered Diana."

Ian shook his head inwardly, disapproving of this inference.

This still doesn't explain how Circe found out about Diana's relationship with Hecate.

There's no way the witch just watched it on TV and discovered the clue!

If she was really that capable, she wouldn't even know what Hecate is.

“But Kasnia is in Eastern Europe!”

Ian calmly discussed with Bruce.

He didn't say anything about the multiverse and the dark multiverse, but he pointed out the problem quite pointedly.

“Yes, Eastern Europe is too far from Greece!”

Bruce nodded and said, "Cersei is like a lion with a strong sense of territoriality. She will never give up her own safety and run into the territory of other gods."

He touched his chin, looked at Ian, and said cautiously: "So, there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, who is manipulating people who woke up from ancient times, and has evil intentions towards Paradise Island. The question is, what are their intentions? And Are you sure it's not the Illuminati causing trouble?"

"That's something we need to investigate."

Ian said to Bruce: "There are many people who want to deal with us, and there are many people who want to deal with Paradise Island, but there is very little overlap between the two. Now, we have to make sure that this is not a conspiracy by some high-level government officials."

"You could have made it clearer and just talked about the United States."

Bruce rolled his eyes: "I'll let Ah Fu go check the relevant news by mistake, but it's impossible for such a major operation to go without news in advance. But I haven't heard any news, so you'd better not take it too seriously. "

“Just because they didn’t have a share beforehand doesn’t mean they won’t have a share afterwards.”

Ian is not unreasonably suspicious of the U.S. government, although they are highly questionable.

“Although Paradise Island and Atlantis agreed to contact human society, they were unwilling to settle in U.S. dollars.

Atlantis has its own industrial system, and Paradise Island does not need these.Do you think people in the White House will be happy to see these two huge markets emerging and being controlled by their own system? "

Of course Bruce understands this and agrees with Ian's thoughts. He does need to remind some people to watch their feet and not cross the line.

Dealing with supernatural threats is already taxing, but having to deal with the distraction of wrestling with the government is a torture.

"I'm going to meet a few friends and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Don't forget to explain this to everyone and ask them to be careful."

Ian nodded to Bruce and left the office with him.

He and Bruce separated at the corner, went to Diana's room, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Ian saw Rachel holding the door with both hands and looking out the door warily.

"What are you looking at? Circe has left, so don't worry so much."

Ian touched Rachel's head, ruffling the girl's hair and earning a glare from her.

"Ah, don't be like this, hair is hard to do."

"What's so difficult about your short hair style? Just use a comb to style it." Ian walked into the room, closed the door, and saw Diana sitting on the sofa. She had changed into casual clothes, but her face was The anger has not subsided.

"Are you sure that disgusting witch has left?"

Ian asked Rachel to sit down and said to them: "At least, she won't show up here now, because she won't take the risk of knowing nothing about me to catch you."

Diana was not only angry at Circe, but also at herself. She could not accept that she had easily fallen under the transformation spell and turned into a piglet, and that the entire alliance knew about it.

But she looked at Ian and instantly noticed the hesitation of the man in front of her. She drew her attention away from her own anger and asked in a low voice: "Are you not just coming to me about Circe?"

Ian nodded and recounted his conversation with Circe and Bruce to Diana.

"Given this situation, I think you should warn Queen Hippolyta about this potential threat."

In the face of greater danger, Diana put aside the humiliation she suffered for a moment, frowned and said: "Even if the door to Paradise Island is open, my people are only active in a few cities controlled by the alliance. Is it really possible to cause racial conflict as you said?"

Ian nodded: "The city we control is not absolutely safe. There are always various informants mixed in the city. Moreover, this kind of thing does not require any clear evidence. Just a flame can make it happen." The fire ignited instantly.”

"Don't expect the existence of so-called reason. Fighting for your own interests is the greatest reason. The only problem is that people can't always see where their own interests lie, so they are easily affected by the surrounding environment. "

"Once someone creates such an environment in the name of Amazonians, most people will not be able to compete with the entire environment. And flexible support is even more meaningless."

Diana fell silent. She had experienced World War II, and of course she knew that the public would not care about which path they took when they were in despair.

The current situation in North America is not as bad as it was during World War II, but many people's lives have fallen into despair.

If someone really wanted to do something with this, it wouldn't be difficult.

Even if some people in society start to cause trouble, it will be enough to set off a storm for the United States, which has a population of hundreds of millions.

"How do you think Paradise Island should react?"

Ian heard Diana asking him for advice, and he replied directly: "Just do whatever you have to do, then our enemies will lose their patience and jump out in a hurry."

Diana nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll set off now to warn my mother about the threat from the shadows."

She didn't bring anything with her, she just put on her battle clothes, walked directly to the teleporter, and hurried back to Paradise Island.

After Ian sent Diana away, he found Zatanna again, told her what Circe had left, and then asked her to recall the old guys in the mysterious side.

"I want to assess how dangerous these guys are so they don't catch the league by surprise when they pop up."

Zatanna nodded repeatedly. Although she was concentrating on recording the information about the magic circle, she still answered Ian: "You also know the mysterious situation. Everyone keeps their secrets tightly for fear of being known by others. Later, the weak points are exposed and killed.

This trend was brought about by those old guys. Not only did they hide their bodies, they even applied special magic to their names.Although there is a lot of information circulating in my family, I don’t know whether it is true or not. "

When Ian heard this, he shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I can judge the authenticity myself. You just need to tell me the information you know."

At the end, he didn't forget to say "thank you"!
"It's a small thing, these messages aren't important anyway."

Zatanna was satisfied after recording the last part of the information on the ground, and told Ian everything she knew.

……

West Coast, Faith City!
In the evening, in an ordinary small bar, a dozen workers who had been busy for a day gathered together. They held beers in their hands and looked up at the football game being replayed in the bar.

Seeing that the team they supported had lost, these manual workers cursed one after another, and extended cordial greetings to their relatives and eighteen generations of ancestors, centered on the members of the opposing team and based on their genealogical positions.

During this period, saliva mixed with drinks flew around in this small bar, which was not big. Mixed with the smell of sweat, the smell of the bar became even more disgusting.

But these workers who are busy at the dock all day are not aware of this, and they will not care if they know it.

They have been busy all day, and their bodies are almost falling apart. They don't have time to care about cleanliness and hygiene. They just want to indulge in alcohol.

Ding!
After using football as an opportunity to vent all their dissatisfaction, they raised their beer glasses, clinked them with each other, and started drinking.

But before they could move on to the next topic, a thud caught their attention.

These workers turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound. At the pool table, one of their friends was pushed down on the table by a strong woman.

"You disgusting stinky man, how dare you take advantage of me."

Wearing a khaki trench coat and armor underneath, the woman stared angrily, like a lion about to eat a man.

"Hey, what are you doing, let go of my friend!"

Seeing his friend being pinned down on the table by a woman, all the workers gathered around him carrying wine bottles.

The woman, who was stronger than the men, looked around at the men who smelled of alcohol and sweat: "Your friend is trying to take advantage of me. I'm just teaching him a lesson to let him know some things." Don’t mess with people.”

"Didn't I just touch you a few times? I won't miss a piece of meat. Why are you women always so pretentious?"

Of course, the workers at the bottom are helping relatives rather than taking care of things. Let alone taking advantage, even if they do even more extreme things, they will just pretend they don't see it.

"A bunch of stinky men, rude and impolite. I really don't know why the Queen would let Paradise Island be exposed to such a world."

"Oh, it turns out they are those primitive people on Paradise Island!"

These men yelled, "Aren't you immigrants just here to beg for food? As guests, you dare to hit the host. It's really unreasonable."

Click!

The furious Amazon woman broke off the man's arm, kicked him against the wall, and then moved towards more men.

"I'm going to teach your rude man a lesson today!"

"Brothers, copy the guy!"

"what!"

"No, run quickly..."

"My legs, spare their lives!"

Soon, only screams could be heard in the bar.

Ten minutes later, the Amazon woman covered in blood left the bar and quickly disappeared without a trace in the darkness of the night.
