42. Trip to Russia

Two days later, Star City International Airport.

The black sedan was parked on the edge of the runway on the edge of the tarmac, and Leo, dressed in a black jacket and jeans, was the first to step out of the car, followed by Felicity and John Diggle.

The black bodyguard, who had recently been discharged from the hospital, made a name for himself as a vigilante, although it was later confirmed that he was only a substitute for a crime, not a real criminal.

But this behavior also violated the law, and he was detained by the Star City Police Department for a week, until Leo paid enough bail to finally regain his freedom.

However, black bodyguards also lost their jobs as a result, and incidentally carried a record of disrupting justice and taking the blame.

"I said, Mr. Diggle, from the moment you got in the car, you had that black face—I don't mean the color of your skin, and your hostile attitude."

Leo stood in front of the car, raised his hand to look at the time, turned to smile at the black man behind him.

"Anyway, I saved you from the Star City Police Station, even if you are not grateful, you should give me a smile."

John Diggle snorted coldly, although he hadn't seen Oliver Quinn in Iron Mountain Prison since he was discharged from the hospital - because the heir of the Quinn family was a strictly guarded felon, and he was not eligible to visit for the time being.

But he saw Lady Siva beside Leo, the dangerous woman who had beaten herself to the point of serious injury.

With just a few thoughts, Diggle can roughly guess something.

Oliver's arrest must be inseparable from the young helmsman of the White family in front of him.

"I don't know if I should trust you or not." Diggle said bluntly. "You put Oliver in jail and then push for the rebuilding of the Palm Lake ghetto...... I don't know if you're a good person or a bad person! ”

"You can think of me as a — not very bad bad guy, or not very good guy."

Leo was smiling and playing with words.

He didn't have much of an idea of subduing John Diggle, although this veteran who had retired from the 105th Airborne Force in Kandahar was a good partner or friend.

But the other party's moral bottom line is too high, and it is obviously not suitable to join his own team.

Moreover, there are quite a few characters like Diggle in the CACI International company behind White Industries, so there is no need to pull in the plot characters to make up the numbers.

"As for the question of trust, if it weren't for the fact that you had a close relationship with Leila Michaels, you thought I would have let you on board? Mr. Diggle, I'm not Oliver Quinn and don't need buddies and teammates. ”

Leo restrained his smile, the mission he had told Felicity earlier was to rescue a missing member of the Celestial Eye Society.

Leila Michaels, said to be Amanda Waller's right-hand man, lost contact with the organization in Moscow half a month ago.

So Leo received this commission and set off for Russia to rescue the lost agent.

It was a covert operation, and Amanda Waller did not have permission from the Ministry of Defense.

Because those military bigwigs will definitely not agree, risking causing international disputes, just to search and rescue an insignificant Tianyan Society agent.

And Leo was willing to take over because Amanda Waller gave him a charming chip that was hard to refuse.

Position of the manager of the suicide squad!

"Mr. White, the crew is ready, I've kept you waiting."

The person in charge of the airport trotted over, eager and attentive.

On the runway is a Bombardier Global Express XRS, the world's finest long-range large business jet known as the "Luxury Villa in the Sky".

The hatch opened, the gangway was lowered, and Leo entered the cabin with Felicity, who looked like a curious baby, and John Diggle, who still had a dark face.

The cabin's main colour palette is beige and dark brown, with plenty of space and no stuffiness, with plush leather seats and wooden work tables, as well as dining tables arranged in turn.

In addition, LCD televisions, telephone calls around the world, Internet access and a wide selection of fine wines are available.

Felicity patted her chair, her eyes both excited and downcast, she had never felt so poor as she had ever felt like she had never seen the world.

"It's equipped with a satellite phone, you can work online, and there's a private luxury box in the back, so you can go there if you want to watch the flight attendants dance."

Leo shook his neck, changed to a comfortable way to lie on the seat, and said indifferently: "In front is the crew activity area, the pantry and the front toilet, it is best not to disturb it." ”

"It's a long journey, don't get too excited, because we're going to be on a dangerous mission with no back-up, no recognition from our superiors – and if we fail, we could end up in a secret prison for the rest of our lives."

Leo, who was putting on a blindfold and preparing to rest, said that Ms. Siva had tossed him hard last night because she had not been able to join the trip to Russia.

Sometimes women are unreasonable, and in addition to venting with shopping sprees, they will squeeze you dry mercilessly!

Fortunately, Leo's willpower was relatively tenacious, and in that continuous and fierce tug-of-war, he won the final victory.

"Maybe after completing the mission and returning to Star City, we will be able to meet the so-called League of Assassins."

Leo closed his eyes, the thought coming to his mind.

Under the threat of death, Malcolm Merlin temporarily abandoned his loyalty to the Master Ninja and the League of Assassins.

He agreed to cooperate with Leo to release false news and lure the Assassin League to Star City.

Although the master ninja may not come in person, his daughter may not.

According to Malcolm's information, the ninja master had two daughters, an older sister, Nissa, and a younger sister, Talia.

He likes nothing more than to travel the world in a variety of vest identities, picking out those who harbor hatred and fear in his heart, and then recruiting them into the Assassin League.

The ninja master will use a series of means to stimulate their physical potential and exercise their mental will, just like forging a sharp weapon.

Malcolm himself, after the loss of his wife, met the Master Ninja and was chosen to become a member of the League of Assassins.

"There are many masters......"

Leo remembered Malcolm's warning that in addition to the ninja masters who had lived for hundreds of years, there were many important people in the League of Assassins worth noting.

Like his two daughters, a certain big guy named Bane, and David Kane and so on.

"What a behemoth."

Leo thought to himself with his eyes closed and in contemplation.

However, with Ms. Siwa as a helper, and the support of the Sky Eye behind her, if you are well prepared, you will not have no chance of winning against the Assassin Alliance.

Maybe get help from Chloe......

Leo's mind flowed, and as for Malcolm Merlin, who chose to cooperate for the time being, it was a complete egoist who would only think about himself.

In the original timeline, after his own son Tommy Merlin hung up, he was stingy and sincere to his only family member Thea.

Such an unreliable ally, which has the possibility of backlash at any time, is not trustworthy at all.

That's why he left Lady Siwa in Star City, the purpose of which was to keep an eye on the magician of the Assassin League and prevent the other party from doing some dangerous acts.

"Smart people know how to choose."

Leo was seventy percent sure that Malcolm would not report to the Assassin League.

On the one hand, because of the huge Merlin group and his son Tommy, these are important bargaining chips that can be threatened.

On the other hand, the ninja master will never be merciful to his subordinates who are not doing well.

Malcolm had leaked so much information that the Assassin League had no mercy in dealing with the betrayals.

Leo's thoughts fluctuated, and he quietly fell asleep as the various images in his mind swirled and disappeared.
