Chapter 1239: The Farm of Justice (21)
On the streets of Seaside City, Hal walked briskly ahead, Lucifer and Schiller chased behind, Hal suddenly stopped, stood still, turned and spread his hands, and said to the two people behind him:
"I can't stand you anymore! How can there be such a picky person in this world, or two? ”
"How can your words be so vicious?"
Hal pointed his arm to the side and said, "Isn't the shop on the next street good enough?" The place is big, the decoration is new, the rent is also very good, and you can bargain, but you think that the house type is not good, the movement line is too long, not to say that people are finely decorated intestines! ”
"Okay, then I'll find a shallow one, the shop on 30th Street is good enough, right? But you think that the window is facing the wrong direction, the lighting is not good, isn't it just a little darker? Are you saying that people are vampire affordable housing? ”
"I beg you! Don't torture me, okay? Hal yelled, "You, go back to Los Angeles, stay in your bar for the rest of your life, you, hurry back to Gotham to teach, embarrass your students, don't come to me!" ”
After saying that, Hal turned around and left, and Lucifer immediately strode up and grabbed Hal and explained, "We both drank a little last night, and our heads were a little dizzy, especially him, hasn't Schiller's style of speaking always been like this?" Don't mind too much. ”
"You're embarrassed to say it?!" Hal shook off Lucifer's hand, looked at Schiller, who was walking unhurriedly behind him, and became angry, and said:
"Seaside City is not the same as Gotham, the citizens here are very nice, you can't treat them with your vicious style of speaking, they are not criminals! You're going to make it impossible for me to mess around in this city! ”
Schiller, who finally came over, sighed softly, and then said, "I know you may not be able to get along, but don't be able to get along first, and then talk about finding a good house." ”
Hal rolled his eyes angrily, he stood there and took a few deep breaths, in fact, he knew that Schiller was used to being unforgiving, and knew that he had some problems with scholars and literati.
The people in this world who can endure a long time and close to Schiller are ruthless people, the last ruthless person is called Batman, and he can do it because he is Batman, Green Lantern can't.
Hal stroked his hand over his chest, trying to recall Oliver's praise of Schiller, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay at my house for a few more days, and then go look for a house." ”
Two hours later, in front of Howl's house, Schiller and Lucifer were thrown out of the door with their luggage, and Lucifer turned to look at Schiller and said, "Can't you just stop talking for a while?" ”
"What do you want me to do? Isn't vampire affordable housing what you say? Don't want to put the blame on me. Schiller lowered his head and zipped up his suitcase, then walked out with his suitcase.
"Where are you going?" Lucifer chased after him and asked, and after speaking, he was still a little aggrieved and said: "I'm not wrong, many vampires who don't have castles will rent this kind of house with poor lighting to put coffins, I also saw Cain when I lived in the Garden of Eden......"
"I'm an adult with the ability to take care of myself, not an angel baby who hasn't been weaned for tens of thousands of years, I'm going to find a house to rent and live there, and then go to find a class...... Don't follow me, the first house is more like the intestine because of you. ”
Schiller looked disgusted, and left with his suitcase, Lucifer crossed his hands on his waist, angry, but then he still caught up with Schiller and said: "Seaside City is not Gotham, it is not developed here, there are not so many single apartments, if you want to rent, you can only rent the whole thing, I think we can share a house, so we can save some rent." ”
Schiller turned his head and glanced Lucifer up and down, and said, "Is it because the bachelor apartment won't let you take the girl back?" Get lost. ”
"Don't be stupid, I don't know anyone here, Hal and Arthur are also your friends, I can only rely on you." Lucifer stopped in front of Schiller and stepped back facing him.
Schiller stood there and sighed, he glanced at the skyline, without Hal driving, it was really far from the city, and he had a little headache when he looked at the long country road.
Just as he was thinking, Lucifer sneakily walked around his back, and in an instant, the huge white wings spread, and a pair of hands grabbed Schiller's waist, "whoosh", and soared into the air.
Lucifer grabbed Schiller, Schiller grabbed his suitcase, and flew slowly along the coastline, and in the middle of the flight, Lucifer said, "You should really share a room with me, it's a wonderful way to commute, right?" ”
Schiller was expressionless in his suitcase, looking at the sparkling sea below, he felt a little like vomiting, gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you just fly a little to the left?" I was seasick. ”
"But now it's in heaven."
"If you have the sea, you can't do it!"
Lucifer's eyes rolled, and suddenly his wings shifted to the right, and he shouted, "Oh! Great force of nature! The summer winds from the Pacific Ocean are hitting the city, and the gods are low and the angels are weeping......"
"Shut up! Lucifer! You just did it on purpose! Turn back! ”
"You can't say that of a strong petrel wrestling with the forces of nature! I'm fighting the power of nature! ”
"Can't you just fly faster?!"
Half an hour later, in the alley of Seaside City, Schiller was retching against the wall, and Lucifer looked at him in surprise and said, "No, your seasickness is really so bad, you haven't even touched the sea......"
Schiller took a deep breath, and with a "bang" it turned into gray mist, allowing the gray mist to adjust the various states of his body before he let out a breath, then squinted his eyes and stared at Lucifer, saying, "What's wrong with you?" Do you have to pester me? ”
Lucifer showed a slightly shy smile, he rubbed his hands, looked at Schiller expectantly, and said, "That's right, you're my pope, right?" Now, the gods you believe in, there is a great cause that I want you to be a part of......"
"Speak human words."
"Can you invest in my bar?" Lucifer said with a wink, and Schiller's eyes widened and he looked at him in some surprise.
Lucifer stretched out his hands helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you? My bar is in a state of loss all year round, I am selling at a loss, and now I don't have much liquidity, I can't just print money, right? ”
"You can't even get a year's rent?"
"That's not true, it's just that I want a large-scale renovation, and it's better to buy the house, otherwise the landlord will trouble me, but the housing prices in Seaside City are really a bit ......"
Schiller turned around and left, Lucifer followed behind him, Schiller turned several turns and couldn't shake him off, and finally, Schiller stood in the middle of the road and looked at Lucifer and said, "If I don't participate, are you going to follow me like this?" ”
Lucifer nodded very seriously, and then began to fold his fingers, and said: "This is a very secure investment, and we can ...... half of the benefits from all operations."
Schiller covered half of his face with one hand, shook his head vigorously, stretched out a hand to stop Lucifer's words, and said, "I have no money." ”
Lucifer showed a look of disbelief, but Schiller changed his tone and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find a rich guy to talk to you." ”
After speaking, Schiller was stunned for a moment, and the next second he showed a bright smile, Lucifer paused, took two steps back and looked at Schiller again, and asked tentatively: "...... Greedy? ”
Schiller enthusiastically stepped forward and shook Lucifer's hand, and even stretched out a hand very politely and said, "Please first, let's find a place to talk in detail." ”
"...... about bar investment"
"It's all good to say, where is the house you are optimistic about? We're going to go and buy it now, and then we can buy a house to live in, and of course we can live together, and you don't have to pay rent. ”
A few hours later, Lucifer sat in an open-top luxury car, looking at the stack of housing contracts in his hand in disbelief.
Schiller put his hand on the outside of the car as he turned the steering wheel, took a puff on his cigar, and said, "How?" The house is not bad, I'm different from the arrogant old-fashioned guy, if I had 1 million, I would be willing to spend 990,000 on my friend. ”
Lucifer looked at him with some emotion, but the next second he felt a little puzzled, so he asked, "Where did you get so much money?" Earned in another world? ”
"Of course not, that world is already an electronic deposit, and banknotes are not universal, I am not interested in bringing precious metals over, it is too troublesome to exchange money one by one, it is better to earn it directly in this world."
"How did you make so much money?"
Schiller pulled out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, kicked the accelerator, and the car sped down the West Coast Highway, his smiling tone disappearing into the wind.
"I'm just pointing out the maze for a lost lamb."
Wayne Group, in the office on the top floor, Thomas sat on the sofa with a deep frown and thought, and there were two people sitting opposite him, a man and a woman, who were the head of the industrial department of the Wayne Group, and the henchman who followed Thomas Wayne to control the Wayne Group.
"It stands to reason that the eternally hungry old fox of Abbots would refuse our terms." The female president was the first to speak: "We have left him enough profit margins, who can refuse such a large sum of money every year?" ”
The male manager also spoke: "It is also embezzlement of military spending, Abers should understand that he will have more room for negotiation when he cooperates with us than with those military-industrial complexes, why should he not be tempted?" ”
"Here's the problem." Thomas lightly tapped the table with his hand and said: "Abbots rejected us, but the logic of his refusal is very abnormal, he should not have refused, even if he doesn't look at profits, he has to weigh the status of Wayne Group." ”
"But since he has refused now, it means that he has such confidence, so who gave him such confidence?"
The female president's eyes slowly widened, she immediately stood up, and then said to the other two, "Sorry, I'll go out and make a call." ”
After speaking, she walked out quickly, and within three minutes she walked back again, and said with a serious face: "Lieutenant Colonel Stewart said that it is not normal for Abers to be promoted to general, they do not have such capital, and his competitors are stronger and more powerful than him. ”
"For so many years, Abers has not been an important figure in the military, and he is so old, how can he still have such a promotion opportunity?"
Thomas snorted coldly and said, "What else could it be?" He has a new backer, and the relationship maintained by those military-industrial complexes in the military has long been stable, and there is no need to pick up another Abers. ”
"If Abbots has a new backer, it means that there are new forces eyeing this cake."
Hearing this, the male manager was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened and said: "The Mexican incident broke out last year, and this year's increase in military spending is exactly 50%...... Someone got their hands on it, faster than us! ”
Thomas tapped lightly on the table, he stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city, and said:
"There are not many people with such ability, ambition and long-term vision......"
The gray-haired clique leader frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth and the powerful muscles of his lips tilted downward, making him look like an angry lion, and soon, he spat out a name in a deep voice:
"Luther."
In the high-end restaurant in the center of the coastal city, Lucifer looked at Schiller dumbfoundedly and said:
"So, you let your godson fund the rebels in Mexico, trick Congress into passing the 'Neighboring Nations Security Act', and then embezzle the rising military spending??!!!"
Schiller was still smiling, but his gaze at Lucifer was getting hotter and hotter, and in Lucifer's increasingly stiff gaze, Schiller nodded and said, "Generally speaking, that's the case." ”
Then he stared at Lucifer with burning eyes and said:
"I have heard that His Excellency Lucifer Morningstar has also launched a fallen battle between heaven and hell, and the so-called revenge of the tenth world can still be avenged, and this revenge is not revenge......
"What do you want to say?"
"Do you have the will to fight World War II?"
Lucifer stiffened completely into a statue, but Schiller's expression was fanatical, and he spoke quickly:
"You are the Satan of hell, as long as you declare the war of the Fallen, the demon king of hell must look at your face, take the initiative to pay grain and grass to you, and express support for your revenge action, and those who are unwilling are all rebels, directly slaughtered, and confiscated family property."
"You declare war, Heaven will definitely prepare for war, it just so happens that I am also an angel, I think I have some expertise in finance, I am willing to recommend myself to become the head of logistics in Heaven for the Second Fallen War, and ensure that the logistics arrangements are clear."
"If the two sides fight, it will surely have a wide impact, and in line with the principle of putting the general interests first, I am willing to take on the responsibility of pacifying the ravaged parties and clearing and restoring the land after the war."
"As the war situation becomes more and more chaotic, the casualties are increasing, and as a pacifist, I must be heartbroken, and I must not sit idly by and watch the Three Realms fall into chaos, and I feel guilty that I can't sleep all night, and I have to pray to God."
"God certainly does not want to sit idly by and watch his children shed blood, and I can deeply understand the dilemma of a father and a king, and even if the blood is spilled Xuanyuan, I must act as a mediator in this war."
"When the time comes, if hell prevails, you will open your mouth to compensate, and we will divide half of it, and if heaven has the upper hand, I will pry up Michael and the lion will open his mouth to compensate, and you go back to hell to accuse those demon kings of fighting unfavorably, and the lion will open his mouth to compensate, and after the compensation reaches heaven, we will ...... half of it."
Dozens of seconds later, a blonde man in a suit rushed out of the door of a high-end restaurant in a panic, rushed to the side of the road with a brisk walk, quickly stopped a taxi, opened the door and sat in.
"Hello, sir, where are you going?"
"Run anywhere, run!!"
I don't have to do anything at all
