Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

"This is the... fourth day."

Suren struggled to her feet, shook her head, and drew a fourth vertical line on the sticky note on the wall.

To put it bluntly, from now on, the nuclear bomb that changed the world line could explode every single day.

However, Suren has only made a small step forward in her plan to stop the Joker.

Fortunately, superheroes are incredibly popular in this world.

Ordinary people will take to the streets to catch a glimpse of superheroes, or even have some close contact with them, even if they are in danger.

Therefore, the world's media pays close attention to the movements of every superhero.

The kidnapping of Lois is a major event that will inevitably mobilize all the superheroes.

Whether at the office or at home, Suren kept the news alerts from major newspapers on, just to be informed of the big news that the Justice League was mobilized in full.

At that time, Suren will not hesitate... not to rescue Louise, but to run directly out of the city, using his infiltration into the shadows...

"Let's see if we can come up with a way today, starting with the Planet Daily..."

Suren washed up while thinking.

For Lois, as Superman's girlfriend, she is undoubtedly a key figure in this universe.

Moreover, as a top reporter for Planet Daily and a Pulitzer Prize winner, she is genuinely willing to venture into dangerous situations to seek out the truth and reveal it to the world.

This isn't because she's Superman's partner that she can act so recklessly; in fact, she was like this long before Superman rose to prominence.

This is why she fell in love with Clark Kent, and also why she was kidnapped by the Joker and ultimately lost her life.

Suren's warning might help her avoid one or two pieces of misinformation, thus preventing her from being misled by the Joker.

But ultimately, Louise was just an ordinary person, even an ordinary woman who was pregnant.

Given his physical condition, it's unlikely he'll have a good outcome investigating dangerous areas where superpowered individuals are commonplace these days.

"So if we want to address the root cause... we still need to deal with the Joker..."

This is indeed a very good plan, but its feasibility is not as good as Suren's idea of ​​controlling the nuclear bomb one second before the explosion.

This can only be considered a temporary measure.

But this did give Suren a completely new idea, so he grabbed his coat and headed straight for the door.

……

"Is that why you didn't buy breakfast? Were you too busy thinking about what car to buy?"

Old A reluctantly pushed the hamburger on the table toward Suren.

Although he doesn't usually share breakfast, this kid did a great job collecting Koggs yesterday.

Only he could discern which parts of that green mass could be cut away, allowing the three of them to successfully complete the recycling mission.

Moreover, even after he finished his task and was completely off work, he spent half an hour studying Korg.

Although Old A didn't think the department had a future, it didn't stop him from liking such a conscientious person.

"It's really a tough choice, since all the delivery guys drive Teslas."

Suren swallowed the mouthful of food with difficulty and explained.

The guy dressed more like someone from the Lex Group than him pulled up his car and took out two full bags of freshly baked bread, which left Suren speechless.

"You don't need to buy a nice car. Your address is clearly in a slum on the outskirts of the metropolis. What if your car gets scratched or vandalized there?"

Old A tapped on the tablet and frowned.

"Getting hit and scratched? Doesn't Superman care about that?"

Suren raised her head, her eyes even more confused.

"Get this straight, whether or not there's that guy in red underwear over the city, the principle remains the same."

Old A seemed quite helpless. Su Lun was indeed very hardworking and even very smart, but he always had some unrealistic thinking habits.

They even believe that many things that seem obvious can actually happen.

If someone like this can graduate from MIT, it means their academic performance is truly excellent.

"Listen, my friend, in the Metropolis, everyone is a stock, and at the same time, a retail investor."

Old A bit the straw stuck in the Coke cup, took a sip, and then continued.

"Those impressive-looking cars in the parking lot are the result of the efforts of the 'elites' sitting in their offices at the top, who are trying to make themselves appear 'ready to rise' and thus fit into the 'high-quality stocks' they consider to be around."

"The same applies to the delivery driver. Do you think he wouldn't want to use a more affordable and stylish car? In these downtown areas, if your car isn't impressive enough, you won't be allowed into the area, let alone deliver food."

After saying all this, he finally looked at Suren.

"Here, you're an intern in a department that does all the dirty work. Your career path is pretty much set in stone. Unless you get your hands on a limited-edition sports car, it'll be hard to change that stereotype."

"In the slums, you never know when someone might take a dislike to you or desperately need money, so they might scratch your car or break a window to try their luck."

Upon hearing these realistic words, Suren fell into a different kind of contemplation.

"So, everyone in the metropolis has to work hard to maintain their 'decency,' while a poor kid like me living in the slums doesn't have to?"

"I see. So if you don't mind, I can take you to look at used cars after get off work."

Old A leisurely picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup, and popped it into his mouth.

"Then... are criminals, even super-criminals, like stocks?"

"this……"

Old A hesitated for a moment, then put down his cup.

"While you may not be exactly wealthy right now, there's really no need for that, rookie. Lex Group's salaries are quite good."

This manner, while not exactly earnest and heartfelt, is at least sincere.

"You're overthinking it. Yesterday, during the experiment, I wanted to further test the performance of the Korg. Afterwards, we might need to use some newly manufactured Gundam fragments or specific components."

Suren's expression didn't change much; it was clear that he cared more about his own strength than his quality of life.

Money, or rather the opinions of those around him, are now just like the clothes he wears: as long as he has them, that's enough.

"You mean this... But recently there's been a gang war in Gotham, and all the major gangs have withdrawn their representatives from Metropolis."

"Besides, winter is almost here, and it's the season for stocking up. If you really want to buy fresh food, you'll probably have to go to the Clown Gang."

Old A was clearly in a dilemma; obviously, he felt the suggestion was too dangerous.

Moreover, the BARC department was already a dead weight, and now this intern wants to turn things around. Although he can make a quick buck without spending his own money, it's really unnecessary.

Suren's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's great!"
