Chapter 42 Wish you good luck
On the other hand, in a cafe in Smallville Town, on the outskirts of the metropolis.

General Ryan looked at his daughter's hung-up phone in confusion.

Facing her old father's confused face, Louise swallowed and handed him the phone that had been hung up.

“The call just now… should be from Miss Heino Lawrence, who was kidnapped by Downton last night.

She looks like she's suffering from... Stockholm syndrome?"

"Screw Stockholm, you don't have to make excuses for her!
It's not like I don't understand Stockholm syndrome. It at least requires sufficient communication to make it happen, but Hainuo was kidnapped for less than an hour last night!
What can they communicate in just one hour? This Hai Nuo has no brains at all, or he is completely crazy!"

General Ryan interrupted Louise unhappily, then rubbed his beard in frustration.

“However, Heino’s mother is indeed a figure, and Michelle Lawrence has a great influence in the Ministry of Defense.

The position of Deputy Secretary of Defense is the limit for women, and the United States has never had a female Secretary of Defense.

However, if there is a woman who has the best chance of becoming the first female Secretary of Defense of the United States, Heino’s mother Michelle is probably the one with the best chance! ”

At this point, General Ryan's expression turned a little ugly.

Noticing her father's expression, Louise frowned and asked softly.

"Can Heino's opinion influence her mother? Can she cause you trouble, father?"

“Of course she can’t. I’m not afraid of a brat like Hai Nuo. Even if Michelle can do something to me, she can’t do much.

However, Michelle holds the Army Department's funding for the next two years, which puts me in a passive position."

General Ryan let out a frustrated sigh, then called the guards not far away.

“Continue to monitor the entrances and exits of Smallwell, focusing on the vehicle that may have been used by Heino Lawrence.

Once Heino Lawrence appears, use anesthetic bullets on him immediately. Those things are not just for Downton!

I don't intend to provoke the Lawrence family, but the Lawrence family has no reason to provoke me. By controlling Hai Nuo, I have solved a problem for Deputy Minister Michelle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers brought by General Ryan moved quickly and slowly spread out throughout the town.

Just as the soldiers began to act, Louise's phone suddenly rang again!

General Ryan's expression changed slightly when he noticed the phone vibrating, and he quickly returned the phone to Louise.

Meanwhile, in Gotham City, on the Robert H. Kane Memorial Bridge.

Donton's cell phone rang.

After answering the call casually, Donton asked with a smile.

"Liv, what do you want from me? If you want to change my mood, you have to take off your clothes and video call me!"

"Downton~"

On the other side of the phone, Liv spoke to Donton in a strained tone.

"Zasz has some of my people around him, and they said you took down Yuri, so I paid attention to your location data.

Forgive me, it was you who asked to install the locator, and I really couldn't help looking at you over and over again.

Anyway, you were planning on going to the Met, right? I see you've already reached the Kane Memorial Bridge.

If so, then I must remind you that reporter Louise, whom you are about to meet, has a father who is a powerful general in the army.

The point is, the general also mobilized the latest sonic weapons issued by the Army Department and a considerable number of powerful anesthetic bullets last night. He even brought a few virus weapons classified as confidential by the Ministry of Defense.

Guess who these toys are for? If I were you, I would say thank you, dear! "

"Thank you, dear~"

Donton whistled in amusement and then asked Liv.

"You are really well-informed. Did Falcone help you set up this intelligence network?"

Listening to Downton's question, Liv in the Iceberg Club picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and shook her head unconsciously.

At the same time, she also responded to Downton on the phone.

"I have worked with Mr. Falcone for eight years, and during these eight years, Mr. Falcone has given me nothing but full trust.

It turns out that I am a very capable woman. When I have a Gotham City with a population of 30 million behind me, I can accomplish many incredible things with just my wisdom and skills. "

"You're awesome, Liv. I admire you more and more." Listening to Liv's self-praise, Donton cooperated and output emotional value.

Hearing this, Liv chuckled in satisfaction and then said the last thing on the phone.

“I’m glad to have your appreciation, but I have one more thing to remind you. The man whose legs you just broke was an honorary policeman selected by Gotham two years ago.

This incident will make the police system in Gotham feel a sense of solidarity with you, and the next time you see the police, you may not be as harmonious as before."

"Ha ha!"

Liv's words made Donton laugh out loud, and he spoke while laughing.

"A racist can be an honorary police officer, this idiot must have won the award by breaking the heads of people of color.

As for the police, when have I ever been harmonious with them? I wish they would be brave enough to kill me a few more times, and then I would have to say thank you to them.

That's it, I'm about to cross the bridge, is there any good barbershop in the metropolitan area that can recommend me a good one, I need to get my hair done."

"I'll send you the location. Be careful, dear Ghost Boss~"

At this point, Liv hung up the phone and sent Donton another haircut location.

After showing the location to Bartel, Downton finally called reporter Louise.

After a while.

"Hello, this is Louise!"

"Well done, Louise, you kept your promise and didn't give the phone to anyone else."

"yes, I……"

"No need to say more, just send me your location, I'll come see you after I change my clothes and do my hair."

Donton interrupted Louise, which made her even more nervous.

She paused for a moment before continuing to speak into the phone in a low voice.

"I see. I'll send you the location, but I'm not in the metropolis. I have a temporary interview assignment..."

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Donton interrupted Louise, and the call between the two fell into silence.

On the other side of the phone, Louise's brows were twisted into a knot, and she looked at her father inquiringly.

General Ryan was about to give instructions, but unexpectedly, Downton spoke again at this time!

“Even if you stay at the military base, I will come as promised.

So, don't emphasize to me why you appear outside the metropolis. As long as some words are not said, the deception will not exist.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it when we meet.”

Having said that, Donton hung up the phone and then edited a text message to Louise.

The content of the text message was very simple, just one word.

"Location!"

After receiving the text message, Louise swallowed hard. She once again felt that there was something unusual about Downton.

So she took a deep breath and silently sent a text message back to Donton.

"Smalwell Town, Aile Cafe, good luck!"

"Haha~"

Looking at Louise's text message, Donton said to Bartel with a smile.

"This girl is so naive that she actually reminded me by wishing me good luck."

After he finished speaking, Donton put the phone back in his pocket and continued to look at the scenery of the metropolis through the car window.

These two big cities are really too close. How close are they?

Let’s put it this way, when Batman lights up the Bat-light over Gotham at night, the citizens of Metropolis can see it too!
