62. Be open and honest
"If Tianyan needs it, you can find me at any time."
Leo's tone remained unchanged, his smile was kind, and he continued, "Haven't we always maintained this pleasant partnership? Amanda, you know, I've always been generous with my allies. β
There was silence for a moment on the intercom, and the top manager of the Tianyan Society seemed to calm the anger in his heart, and his tone became calm.
"Did you destroy Nandarbat just to keep the Assassin Alliance's chips in your hands?"
Amanda Waller was puzzled, she couldn't understand why Leo, who had always sat at the card table, suddenly overturned the table.
Blowing up the base camp of the League of Assassins, this is undoubtedly an active provocation to the ninja master.
And provoking a wounded beast is obviously not a wise thing to do.
"Of course not. An ancient organization that smells of decay, what do I want it for? There is no room for growth, and there is a lack of vitality and vitality, no matter how you look at it, there is no future. β
Leo replied in a joking tone.
He sat back in a chair with his legs on the table, as if he didn't care about Amanda Waller's questioning.
Leo understood where the other party's anger came from, the Assassin League had a long history of hundreds of years, and the secret channels and social wealth at his disposal were naturally incalculable.
Even in many small countries in the Middle East, many members of the royal family worship the master ninja as a great person like a god, and his status is extremely high.
If Tianyan would get those resources, it would be easy to get rid of the Pentagon's constraints, and he would no longer need to rely on the handouts of the Military Council.
"I just want our partnership to stay the same, that's all."
Leo said lightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth converged, and he said bluntly: "Destroying Nandarbat can return the tilted scales to its original place, so that I, you, the White family, and the Tianyan Society can continue to maintain this pleasant cooperation." β
"What do you mean by that?"
Amanda Waller asked in a deep voice.
Although she knew that if she asked this sentence, it would mean losing the initiative in this conversation.
But the top manager of the Tianyan Society sensed that something was wrong with Leo's mood, as if he was going to have a showdown.
Put all the temptation and vigilance on the table, and there will be no more cover-up!
"Amanda, we all know what kind of person each other is. What you are pursuing is the country and the government! It's some kind of faith that is rooted in the heart! β
Leo didn't mind that in addition to Lady Siva and Bronze Tiger, there was also Colonel Fleg, who was an outsider.
His voice entered the intercom, clear and powerful: "So you need a higher level of status and power to practice your loyalty to this country, and I'm differentβ"
"I was born with a lot of wealth and the power that comes with it, and I don't have to do anything to inherit the centuries-old heritage of the White family β so I want something different from the average person."
"You still believe in the so-called transhuman theory?"
Amanda Waller seems to have woken up to the fact that the young helmsman of this large family had long ago proposed the concept of transhumanism.
At that time, the Tianyan Society had not been established for a long time, and this mysterious group hidden in society had not been discovered.
The crises that the whole world has to face are more likely to come from transnational terrorist groups and large criminal organizations.
"I've never doubted it, but you really didn't notice the supernatural forces that were hiding behind normal society?"
Leo raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Colonel Flegg with a hidden gaze, and said the name, "Joan-Munne, the young female archaeologist, have you found some kind of supernatural power in her that does not belong to the human world?" β
There was complete silence on the other end of the intercom, and only the faint sound of breathing could be heard.
Amanda Waller was shocked that the female archaeologist named Joan Munn was supposed to be the core secret of the Eye Society.
At the same time, this is also an important bargaining chip in her hand, which will be used to ask the Pentagon for more say in the future.
"Don't make such a fuss, I said we both know what kind of people each other are, like surely you've investigated me and learned about the feud between Lady Siva and the Assassin Alliance, and I happen to know some of your little secrets, isn't that normal?"
Leo's voice was flat, as if he were having an ordinary conversation.
And Amanda Waller felt an invisible pressure, she originally thought that she had strong enough control over the Tianyan Society.
However, the truth before him was cruel, and since Leo knew about Joan Muon's existence, he must have known about Bellieve Prison and some of the prisoners held there.
Those are the reserves and prototypes of the future suicide squad!
"I've made it so clear, haven't you felt my sincerity, Amanda?"
Leo leaned back and said relaxedly.
The conversation gradually came to an end, and Amanda Waller fell to the bottom from the start and lost the initiative.
In the final analysis, as the top manager of the Tianyan Society, she still doesn't have enough chips in her hand, and she lacks the conditions to negotiate with Leo head-on.
"So you mean, in the future, I will turn a blind eye to your actions, and you will continue to give the support of the upper echelons of the Tianyan Society, and both sides will take what they need?"
Amanda Waller sighed slightly, and said with some frustration: "You destroyed Nandarbat, on the one hand, to cut off the possibility of me and the ninja master to make a deal, so that the Sky Eye Society would become a mortal enemy of the Assassin Alliance, and on the other hand, you were looking for this opportunity for a showdown...... I used to seem to have underestimated you, Leo. β
"It's not too late to change."
Leo smiled in response.
He thought very clearly, instead of constantly being wary of Amanda Waller, it was better to talk openly and honestly.
The top manager of the Tianyan Society is not a short-sighted person who only cares about immediate interests, nor is it a politician and bureaucrat who regards power as his life.
After opening some cards, Leo was confident that he would convince Amanda Waller to use the power of the Eye Society and the state apparatus to deal with the great crises that would happen in the future.
"In that case, how are you prepared to bear the wrath of the Assassin Alliance?"
Amanda Waller asked.
Destroying Nandarbat was nothing, and as long as the Master Ninja was alive, the League of Assassins could resurrect at any time.
"Let him come to Star City to find me, I personally look forward to meeting the ninja master."
Leo spoke in a relaxed tone, the sole leader of the League of Assassins, who would soon suffer a fateful defeat at the hands of Batman.
Now Nandarbat is in ruins, the Shadow Warriors have suffered heavy casualties, and the ninja master who has lost some of his minions and strength is nothing more than a lost dog.
"Then, Gotham will be handed over to you."
After changing her mindset, Amanda Waller immediately threw the task to Leo.
That city could be the next target of the Assassin League, and it deserves the attention of the Celestial Eye.
Moreover, according to the information she received, Gotham will have a big move in the near future.
A big man who has been away from that city for many years is ready to return!
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
After an open and honest conversation, the two reached a happy deal.
Although this does not have the force of law, there is no notary public, it is just a verbal promise.
But until Amanda Waller finds a new way out, or Leo has a new agenda, that delicate balance will continue.
