I, V, Gotham Legend

The cool voice sounded, causing the hooded man to shiver, and he raised his eyes to see the blue-haired woman standing next to him with her arms folded across her chest.

Not far behind her, a woman in a purple bodysuit was sitting on a rock, with a few oversized gloves placed on her legs, which she was carefully caring for.

"Kill me as soon as possible. I will not surrender to anyone." The hooded man's voice turned cold.

"You talk as if I was the first to do it." Valerie took a few steps closer to the hooded man and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Oliver Queen?"

Oliver's eyes widened and he squeezed his cheek muscles to make sure he still had the mask on his face.

"My box-opening skills are unmatched. Don't worry, I haven't told anyone." Valerie said proudly.

Helena, who was maintaining her gloves behind her, froze for a moment, then pretended not to hear anything and continued to wipe her gloves.

"If you attacked me, I wouldn't be so easy to deal with, but you are a little different from the people I fought before."

As she spoke, Valerie pulled out a quiver from her pocket, which was obviously the one Oliver had been carrying before.

She pulled an arrow from the quiver. Although the arrowhead was intricate and slender, it did not look like it was designed to pierce a human body.

There are many arrows in the quiver, most of which are specially made like this.

Combined with the grid voltage she had tested herself before and the poison gas that Oliver had experienced himself and had simply fallen asleep at, Valerie realized something.

"You don't seem to have any intention of killing anyone." Valerie stuffed the quiver back into her pocket. "Rich man, wearing a mask, and always holding back, you look a bit like someone I know."

NO8. This can’t be

"I won't bother about killing the scum, but I need to know who your accomplices are. And your other strongholds." Oliver said.

"Okay, I think I understand." Valerie talked not only about Oliver's character, but also the reason why he took action.

"Although I suspect that what we are doing now may be a misunderstanding, my past experience tells me that it is better to be cautious." Valerie looked at the group of people who were tied together, "He has woken up, you should have woken up earlier, right?"

"You are V, right? Let me go quickly... take us out of here!"

Inside the alley, the trader who was tied up with the Suicide Squad finally realized that he couldn't pretend anymore, and he shouted loudly.

"In theory, we should be accomplices, but my assistant discovered some of your little secrets."

Valerie stood up and walked between the two of them, then she turned and looked at Oliver.

"Why are you here? Anyway, I'm here for the drug dealers' trading base."

This is one of the drug dealers' trading bases, and Valerie was originally asked by Batman to clean it up.

But just as she and Helena arrived above this place and had not yet found a place to park, the king shark's earth-shaking scream due to being electrocuted attracted Valerie's attention.

Realizing that it might be an acquaintance who got into trouble, Valerie and Helena temporarily split up. The task of clearing out the drug dealers was given to Helena, while she went to the alley to check the situation.

Oliver pursed his lips together when he heard Valerie's question.

So does he.

After tracking a group of drug dealers to this area, he immediately took action to deal with those scums, but found that he had missed one person, who seemed to have run away for something.

He found the escapee's trace, right in this alley, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, the suicide squad, who were not dressed or looked like good guys, drove up in a van. They carried boxes and walked into the alley with a thieving look.

This scene made Oliver conclude that the trader and the Suicide Squad were accomplices in the drug trade. He acted decisively, first hanging the trader up, and then knocking down the Suicide Squad cleanly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his guess. After all, he was very sure that the trader was a drug dealer, and the only way he could leave the base was to trade drugs.

This is also the reason why Valerie did not let go of the members of the Suicide Squad. Since Amanda was hiding her whereabouts and the Suicide Squad was also operating in secret, she had no idea why these people came.

Until she got the news from Helena, most of the people in the drug dealers' base had been cleared out by strange arrows. Helena fought with the escaped fish and the enemy reinforcements that suddenly entered, and only came out after ensuring that the base was completely cleared.

It was after she met up with Valerie that she recognized at a glance the uniform worn by the trader who was still unconscious on the ground.

Exactly the same as the drug dealers in the stronghold.

But Oliver had already been subdued, and the inexplicable and complicated situation overloaded Valerie's brain.

She decided to keep things simple and gave both the trader and Oliver a diluted dose of the treatment drug to sober them up so that they could be interrogated together.

"The problem now is that I am still friends with these rogue agents, but you are now suspected of drug trafficking."

Valerie stood in the middle, carrying the box, and summarized the situation clearly: "So now I have to figure out what's in here, and then decide who to release."

It is easy to determine whether it is drugs, just open it and take a look, but when Valerie opened the box while several people were unconscious, she only saw a strange square piece of metal.

Valerie's scans couldn't tell what it was, and the box didn't look like it was used to transport sensitive items.

She didn't know what it was, but even if there was a one in ten chance that it was some new drug, she had an obligation to take care of it.

This was Valerie's first commission since her vacation, and she felt it was important that she do it perfectly.

"You came here to steal this thing, right?" Valerie held up the box and showed it to Oliver, who was hanging upside down. "What do you think this is?"

"Even if it's not drugs, it's not a good thing." Oliver seemed a little angry. "These drug dealers are all scum."

Valerie was a little surprised by Oliver's hatred for drugs, but as a Chinese, she could understand his hatred for drugs and drug dealers.

The tied trader shouted: "I am the spy planted by Amanda in this company! I just got the mission to receive the box. I am just an errand boy!"

"How can I trust you?" Valerie frowned.

"I can tell you my serial number in the Sky Eye Society! That can prove that I am a government employee!" the trader said, "The government can't possibly be involved in drug trafficking, right?"

"I can't say for sure about the US government." Valerie has heard a lot of inside information. "But I don't think this thing looks like drugs, but I can't say for sure what it is. What if it's a dirty bomb? The kind that can bury an area in pollution."

"I don't know what it is, but if that block is really such a dangerous thing, isn't it the right thing to let the government take it away?" the trader said anxiously.

Valerie suddenly tilted her head and looked at the trader's face with suspicion.

The trader realized that it was obviously abnormal that he knew it was a cube without Valerie opening the box.

Of course he is not normal, because he was originally an undercover agent sent by Luther to the government, and was sent by the government to the secret drug trafficking department of the Bronn Group as an undercover agent.

The purpose of his coming to get the Mother Box this time was to return it to Luthor. He knew that Amanda and Luthor had a very bad relationship.

"Amanda told me it's a square thing..." The trader tried to make amends, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.

He just said it before V even asked anything, which made it seem even more suspicious.

"I'm doubting now. Are you really a government agent?" Valerie stood up with the box in her hand. "You're unbelievable now. And the suspected weapons of mass destruction are in the hands of the US government... I don't trust those politicians very much."

Apart from anything else, if Amanda hadn't really needed Valerie's help to compromise, she would have attacked her long ago. During the negotiations, the fat black woman was full of threats.

"I have the final say on whether this thing is safe or not." Valerie picked up the box, "I'm going to take this thing back to check it, and then decide whether to give it to you or not."

"You can't..." The trader's Adam's apple twitched.

"No! Our mission is limited in time!" Suddenly, Harkness, who had been unconscious, jumped up with his eyes wide open, "Waller will blow our heads off!"

NO9. It's mine

Except for King Shark, the Suicide Squad had already woken up, but they were pretending to be asleep because the situation seemed bad.

As Harkness couldn't help shouting, the other teammates behind him finally woke up as if they were resurrected, nodding in a frenzy.

Oliver finally lost his patience and asked, "I think I understand. This guy is not dealing drugs, but a group of agents secretly trading something?"

It’s just that the agent in this deal happened to be an undercover agent planted among the drug dealers, and was targeted by Oliver.

"How about this, I'll make a compromise." Valerie picked up the box directly, "I'll take over this mission. Anyway, I'm also a member of the Sky Eye Society. I'll take it back and study it for a while, and then I'll hand it over to Waller. You won't fail in the mission, right?"

The trader took a deep breath. Valerie's request was very reasonable. In fact, she was willing to compromise under the current circumstances out of kindness.

But he couldn't agree. Amanda still had to have some dignity. The Luther behind him might really kill his entire family.

He immediately shook his body and racked his brains: "This is a task assigned to me by the government... It may be a test for me to return to shore! Do you know how many years I have been undercover here?"

As he said this, he turned back and winked at the Suicide Squad, suggesting that they should join him in pleading for mercy.

In his opinion, the suicide squad, whose lives and property are really tied to this, must be more resistant than himself.

However, the situation was quite different from what he had imagined. The man in the orange-black helmet, who seemed to be the backbone of the group, suddenly nodded and said in a nonchalant voice, "Okay."

The trader was extremely surprised. His eyes widened. “Are you crazy? This is the task Waller assigned to you. Don’t you have a bomb in your head?”

"Of course I know." Deathstroke looked at the trader strangely. He felt that this guy seemed to care about his life more than himself. "Waller agreed."

"Waller...?" the trader choked.

Deathstroke turned his head and turned to the trader, but he realized that he was still wearing a helmet, so he gave up showing it: "I always wear headphones to communicate with Waller."

"Oh, it's the one I made specially for you, right?" Valerie understood. "In that case, this box belongs to me, and no one should have any objections, right?"

Seeing these people communicating so smoothly, the trader was completely panicked, but now he couldn't think of a better excuse, so he could only smile sadly: "That's it."

Valerie opened the box directly, exposing the Mother Box to the air.

The tied trader trembled with fear and said hastily: "Don't break it! This concerns my life and property!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Harkness echoed from behind.

"It won't break." Valerie stared at the cube. She had scanned it before and the result this time was the same as last time.

Although the block looked solid and smooth, Valerie's scan showed several scratches on it, probably because someone tried to destroy it thousands of years ago.

The cube was as quiet as a turtle in its shell, but Valerie could see a very faint radiation surrounding it.

Valerie suspected that someone had sealed the block artificially, making it look no different from an ordinary block of metal.

Her intuition told her that her technical ability was enough to unlock the seal, but her intuition also warned her not to do so.

Valerie closed the box. She planned to do further research after returning to her base in Gotham to at least make sure that there were no mistakes.

Since Amanda agreed to let her take over this task forcibly, it was equivalent to tacitly agreeing that she could study this thing. In this case, it would be up to Valerie to decide when to hand it in.

"Then it's decided. I think your misunderstanding has been resolved. Do you want me to untie you?" Valerie stuffed the box back into her pocket. She was in a good mood because of the new technology.

Seeing that Valerie looked as if the matter was resolved, Helena also stood up and put the gloves back on her hands.

Oliver stared at Valerie in silence for a while, then he spoke in an emotionless tone: "Put me down first."

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased, Valerie finally untied the ropes that tied up the men. Oliver fell to the ground and quickly got up.

The traders and the Suicide Squad also stood up as if they had been electrocuted after being untied, except for King Shark, who was sleeping soundly.

"You're welcome... let's go, Huntress." Valerie said, and was about to summon the hovercraft.

"Wait a minute." Oliver suddenly said, and he put his hood back on his head. "Where are you going next?"

Valerie turned her head and took a look, making sure that Oliver was talking to her. She said, "Let's go clean up the drug dealers' base. This is just the first stop."

“I see…” Oliver closed his eyes, as if hesitating, and then opened them with a determined look, “Take me with you.”

"Ah?" Valerie looked up in surprise, "We just had a fight."

"Drug smuggling is the main problem right now. Our conflicts can be resolved later." Oliver looked at the uniforms worn by the traders, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

Valerie looked at Oliver's genuine affection and turned to look at Helena.

"You can take him with you." Helena hesitated for a moment, then looked at the pale-faced trader, "You can take him with you, too."

"Ah? Me?" The trader was shocked.

Valerie also looked at Helena with a strange look.

"He has been undercover here for many years, so he should know more about the locations of the drug dealers." Helena explained. "With his help, we can handle it more comprehensively."

Their information about the drug dealers' bases was provided by Batman, and Helena was worried that there would inevitably be omissions.

"Okay, you're such a smart little girl." Valerie agreed to Helena's plan. She jumped to the trader and grabbed him.

"Let me see..." Valerie blinked at the trader, opened the box briefly, and remembered his name. "Billy Ajed? Okay, I hope you can behave yourself."

"Yes... yes." Ajad nodded angrily, but he also had some thoughts in his mind.

If I get in the car with this strange woman, I might be able to steal the box.

He looked at the pockets on Valerie's coat and felt an inward stirring.

Then, Valerie grabbed his shoulders and lifted him up with one hand, and he flew into the air very smoothly, as if he could fly.

"Come on, get in the car," Valerie said gently.

Looking at that delicate and pretty face, Ajad felt cold sweat soaking his whole body.

NO10. Did you hear that?
