Chapter 350: Malcolm's Dinner
"Trouble!"
Dante walked on the side of the road, desperately trying to blend himself into the bushes, and he looked ahead to see that the car that Bruce had told him was about to pass!
In the Batcave, Bruce said that the long-distance truck when the Wayne Group and the Star City Merlin Group cooperated could transport Dante to the Merlin family, so now, Dante is waiting for the car that Bruce provided him!
"Is the Wayne logo on the carriage?"
Dante muttered, he seemed to have seen that about eight kilometers away, a large truck was coming this way!
"It's a pity that I can't expose my relationship with Bruce Wayne, let alone my relationship with Merlin, and I can't expose myself to the sight of S.H.I.E.L.D., otherwise, I wouldn't have to work so hard!"
As he spoke, he lay down on the ground casually, the truck was waiting for the traffic light, and besides, it was still in the city, and it would take eight or nine minutes to get here!
In this case, it is more comfortable to lie down, but fortunately, the low bushes here are more lush, otherwise it may not be able to cover Dante's conspicuous body!
Lying still, Dante thought.
"Atlanteans, I hope there is news from the League of Assassins, otherwise, I can only visit those old guys again, I just went to the ancient one to help, it is really inappropriate to go all the time!"
After thinking about it, he rolled over.
"However, I'm not sure that Loki's idea will be agreed by the Atlanteans, back then, the Sea Clan and Odin built the Rainbow Bridge together, I'm afraid it's because Odin is too strong, the current Loki is not as good as Odin back then, I heard that Odin's sons were not dead at that time, and Tyr and the like are still very active, unlike now!"
Thinking of this, Dante couldn't help but shake his head, for Loki's purpose, Dante felt that it was a bit absurd, he really didn't think that the Sea Clan could agree to Loki's request, but even so, Dante had to meet those Sea Clans, after all, they lived with Dante on today's earth, Dante regarded the earth as his own territory at this time, of course he wanted to let the guys from the major races see him!
"The car is coming!"
He said suddenly, and then, with a slight support of his right hand, his whole person rushed to the bottom of the Wayne Group truck, the process was too fast, and the driver of the car couldn't find it at all!
However, Dante, who was under the car, did not like this feeling, so he reached out and climbed down the chassis to the glass of the passenger compartment of the truck in a few clicks.
"Dangdang!"
Dante knocked on the window, and then the truck swayed wildly, and the driver and co-pilot were almost frightened by Dante's twitches, until Dante reached out and knocked on the glass again, and the co-pilot took out his shotgun and aimed at Dante in a panic!
"What the hell!"
Seeing that he was being targeted by a gun, Dante frowned depressedly, it turned out that Bruce's so-called provision of the vehicle was really just for himself to rob it, he was so cautious that he didn't tell the person in charge of the truck about his situation!
"Click!"
Thinking of this, Dante opened the car door casually, as for the co-pilot's strength to protect the door, it was nothing in front of Dante, after opening the co-pilot's door, Dante used his chest against the muzzle of the gun, and pushed the co-pilot to the corner!
"Know me, guys, I'm Dante, come and hitchhike!"
"Cognitive awareness!"
The co-pilot nodded quickly, and after he heard Dante report himself, he remembered Dante's identity, so he quickly put the gun away!
"I really didn't expect my car to be ridden by a superhero one day, where are you going, if there is no problem, I will send you!"
As soon as Dante sat down in the passenger seat, the driver said something to Dante, and Dante nodded when he heard the driver's words.
"Thank you, friend, I'm going to Merlin Manor, it happens to be the same destination as yours, I have something to do with the president of Merlin Group!"
"Ah, I see, it must be Master Merlin who asked you to exorcise demons, right, I know what you do, when you killed demons, I worked in Gotham, those demons almost killed my sister's family, you saved them, I should say thank you to you!"
"There's no need for that, as long as you can get me where I want to go, your carriage is so spacious, it looks like I can still lie down and sleep!"
After Dante finished speaking, he patted the seat next to him, the seat of this kind of long-distance truck is very wide, and Dante and the co-pilot have no problem even if they are crowded together!
However, at this time, the co-pilot didn't dare to move, he was different from the driver who didn't have a ghost in his heart, this co-pilot was a gangster a few months ago, and then the gang was hit to death by Batman, so he withdrew from the club, so he now sees people like Dante and Batman, and he can't keep it natural at all!
So, when Dante chose a comfortable position in the passenger seat and lay down, the co-pilot just occupied an extremely narrow corner and sat upright!
Dante, who was lying down, glanced at the extremely stiff co-pilot, and he didn't say anything, because he really wanted to sleep!
This sleep, I slept for more than six hours, and the moment the car stopped, Dante suddenly opened his eyes!
"Mr. Demon Hunter, I'm glad I can serve you, we have arrived, this is the Merlin Group's cargo distribution center, you can see the Merlin Group's company building not far ahead, when you get there, you can easily find the residential area of the Merlin family, and finally can you please leave me a business card, although I may not be able to hire you, but I still hope that once I encounter any trouble, I can have a way to contact you!"
The driver said to Dante, who shook his head.
"I don't have a business card, so if you have trouble with demons, you can go to my office in Manhattan, New York, and my office will be completed by next summer!"
Dante said, and then he rushed out of the car directly, and in an instant, Dante turned into a silver light and quickly disappeared from the driver's sight!
When Dante was gone, the driver patted the trembling co-pilot and said.
"My nephew, you don't need to be so afraid, just like I said to you when Dante was sleeping, a big man like him won't trouble a small man like you!"
"Hell, uncle, I know, but I can't help it, I was around there when he slaughtered the demons, and I almost died there when I was working as a delivery boy in Arkham!"
"So let's get down to business, boy, driving is enough to feed us and our family, it's not just the underworld that will make you get ahead, you see, I'm sitting up straight, even Dante is polite to me, haha!"
As he spoke, he smoked happily, only to see him chattering excitedly while swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
"I actually drove a demon hunter, if my youngest son knew about this, he would be excited to death, haha, I took a picture of Dante while he was sleeping!"
And Dante, he knew that he had been secretly photographed while sleeping, but he didn't care, he just wanted to get what he wanted from the Shadow Warrior Alliance at this time!
So he came to the building of the Merlin Group like a phantom, his speed made him feel like no one in the building full of security, and in a short time, he found the chairman's office, he pushed the door and looked, as expected, sitting at the front of the desk was Malcolm Merlin, who was frowning and constantly thinking!
"Long time no see, man!"
"Holy, you almost scared me to death, when did you come here, Dante, I didn't expect you to come to me!"
Dante's sudden greeting made Malcolm stand up in fright, and as he got up, he casually pulled out a black compound bow from under his desk, and at this time the bow was still holding a sharp arrow!
But when he saw that it was Dante, he let out a long sigh, hell, he was really worried that the uninvited guest was Lars Elgur's men!
"Tut-tut, you're so nervous, it seems that you've not been doing well lately!"
Dante teased, and then he found the couch across from Malcolm's desk and sat down in a comfortable position!
Hearing Dante's teasing, Malcolm shook his head at first, then nodded quickly.
"I'm doing well, but I can't give up my vigilance at all, I'm worried that Lars Al Gur's subordinates will follow my identity to find me, the Shadow Warrior Alliance lost too much power in the last operation, and Lars Al Gul has accumulated a lot of strength over the years, when we really start to fight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Shadow Warrior Alliance to retreat!"
"It's okay, you still have me behind you, right?"
Dante said with a smile, his words giving Malcolm a relieved smile!
"Indeed, if it was you in the past, that is, when we first met, I really couldn't believe that you could protect us perfectly, but now, you are simply like a god walking in the world!"
As he spoke, he picked up whiskey from his desk and poured Dante a glass.
"Cheers, Dante, for your divine powers, and our cooperation!"
He raised his glass, and Dante took it and drank it down.
"So, now that I know why you're here, if there's anything you need me for, I'll do my best!"
After the toast, Malcolm asked first, listening to his question, and Dante nodded.
"Of course, I need your intelligence system to turn it around for me, I'm going to investigate a race!"
"Race?"
Malcolm instinctively asked, but after a moment, he nodded as if he had suddenly realized!
"I remember, what you want to investigate must be those gods left behind by Asgard in China, right, don't worry, I have a lot of subordinates staying there, and they will bring the information soon!"
"Ugh!"
Malcolm's answer stunned Dante, who wondered why everyone, including Batman, thought they were the inhabitants of Goddess Sif who were going to investigate.
"No, man, I'm not interested in Sif and her people, I'm investigating the Atlanteans, the legendary lost civilization!"
Dante said, but as soon as he spoke, Malcolm shook his head.
"Well, I really don't know about this matter, I thought you, like many people, were interested in those legendary Aesir gods, I almost forgot, even the head of Odin, the god king of the Aesir gods, was cut off by you!"
"So, tell me what you know about Atlantis!"
Dante urged, he had a bad idea, it seemed that Malcolm didn't know the information about Atlantis!
And the ending was not surprising, Malcolm really didn't know anything, and in the face of Dante's question, he reluctantly shook his head!
"I don't know what you want, but if you don't mind, you can join me for a dinner party, and after that dinner is over, I will take you to meet my teacher, that is, Master Lei Xiaogu, I have always been just his subordinate, and the real secret of the Shadow Warrior Alliance has always been in the hands of Lei Xiaogu himself, if we really have news of Atlantis, Lei Xiaogu will definitely know!"
Malcolm said, Dante is not too disappointed with this result, at least there is a slight possibility, I don't know what Lei Xiaogu really knows!
And Dante's attention has drifted to the banquet for a while!
"Yes!"
He said yearningly.
"Can you tell me about the dinner party in the evening, I have only arranged a few parties during the time I have been here, and I may have participated in the dinner for the first time, haha, not bad!"
"That's right, Monsieur Dante, the son of a very good friend of mine was shipwrecked a few years ago, you know, we all thought the child was dead, but the other day, the child actually came to his family alive, my son and the child are still very good friends, and this dinner party is to celebrate the return and rebirth of the child!"
Malcolm said with a smile, but Dante could see that his smile was a little hypocritical, which made Dante more interested in the dinner!
"It's four o'clock in the afternoon, what time is the dinner, what do I need to prepare, help me, man!"
Dante, who had made his decision, relaxed a lot, picked up Malcolm's wine, drank the remaining half of the bottle in one gulp, and then placed the Pandora box under Malcolm's desk.
"By the way, this box shouldn't be suitable for the dinner party, so I'll put him here with you first, don't lose it!"
"Absolutely impossible, all of this place, including the entire Star City, is my territory!"
Malcolm said confidently, and then he didn't work either, but sat on the couch with Dante!
"I'm really happy to have you at this dinner, Dante, do you know, my friend has a very cute and beautiful daughter besides her son, I know that the superhero that girl admires the most is you, I'm sure that the child will ask you for an autograph, maybe the moment you walk into the banquet, the girl will cry with excitement!"
"It's so ungentlemanly to make a girl cry, maybe I can give her a hug, haha!"
Dante patted Malcolm on the shoulder, in just a few minutes of chatting, he had to sigh Malcolm's emotional intelligence, this man is really good at chatting, and the conversation with him makes Dante very comfortable!
"Do you think it's appropriate for me to wear this at night, should I change my look, like a suit?"
"No, Dante, you're different from me, we entrepreneurs are just vulgar mortals, and you're a legend, you should wear it like this, you should dress like this, you'll attract the eyes of all women, you'll be the star of the party, man!"
Malcolm complimented, and his words made Dante laugh, but Dante didn't know that in the distant town, Polaris, who was doing physical training, was about to kill him!
