Old Aunt Rog didn't stay in Gotham for too long, as she said, and left.

But the group of people she left behind was indeed shrewd and capable, and in order to run the bar well, the afterlife team recruited the top "company dogs" in their world who were the best at running from the cyberspace of the gods to take management positions.

After Mason walks out of the office and sends Talia away, he is confronted by a bionic woman in a long yellow dress with an East Asian face giving orders to several subordinates.

He politely stayed by the side, and waited until the imposing lady had finished his assignment before he came up to talk.

He looked at the face of the lady in front of him and whispered:

"Miss Huazi?"

"Huh? Mr. Mason, do you know me? ”

The female android known as "Huazi" looked up at Mason in surprise, a look of surprise appeared in her bionic eyes, and then Mason was heard explaining:

"I had a conversation with Mr. V before, and I heard about you from him, and I didn't expect them to send you over.

It seems that Captain Morgan really values his relationship with Team K. ”

"I applied for it myself, Mr. Mason."

Hanako followed Mason half a body very politely and respectfully, and as she walked, she said:

"It's a terrible experience to live in the form of data in cyberspace, and even though our world has been simulated as much as possible, everyone knows it's fake.

Every opportunity to 'get out' is precious.

It's a pity that most of the assigned positions are combatants, but no matter how full of martial virtues in a world is, the majority of them are still ordinary people like me.

It's a great joy for us to have a rare management position posted, and it's a great opportunity to get out of the unreal world of data and get back to reality.

Even if it's just temporary. ”

Speaking of which, this character from another world said to Mason very sincerely:

"From this point of view, this batch of downloaded personality data, including me, must be paid the highest respect and gratitude to you for giving us this opportunity."

"Oh?"

Mason blinked, he hadn't thought of this layer before, so he asked:

"Say, in cyberspace, there are a lot of personality data like you who want to re-enter reality, but can't do so because they're not good at fighting?"

Miss Huazi smiled gently.

As the heir to a big company, she's very smart, and from this question, she captures the facts that Mason really wants to know.

So she organized her language and whispered:

"If you can give them a chance, the wisdom of the whole world can be used for you.

With all due respect, Your Excellency, although the Afterlife Squad has been chosen as the guardians of Civilization 2077, a group of mercenaries have no idea how to properly use the great treasure trove of Mikoshi.

But you're different.

You are a man of great wisdom, and we. I mean, the best minds in Civilization 2077 are desperate for a chance to fulfill their ambitions.

We are indeed not good at fighting.

But I think that, if we do it right, we can do much more than one or two powerful armies that are fully armed. ”

Mason nodded.

After a moment of thought, he said to Miss Huazi behind him:

"A friend of mine is about to take over an ancient organization that has been around for more than 900 years, but he lacks the manpower to control the complex forces of that faction in a short period of time.

But I don't have that much time to wait. ”

"Well, then you may need the help of elite staff from Arasaka's intelligence and housekeeping departments."

Huazi's eyes were happy, and he immediately replied:

"They have a wealth of experience in dealing with factional disputes and pooling resources, and it was with their help that my grandfather was able to take control of the Arasaka Company and make it a world-class power.

All you need is one instruction."

"Go find Judy."

Mason waved his hand and said to Miss Hanako:

"I have a quota of 500 people, and I will use all of them this time, and complete the personality download as soon as possible. Of course, you can also pick a few friends close to you and let them experience the beauty of reality again.

But I want you to help my friend manage and keep a low profile.

It's an attempt.

If it works, I can help you apply for more spots over there. ”

The captain let out a sigh of relief, looked out the window into the night, and said:

"The world is big enough to create a second home for those who have lost their hometown, and I firmly believe that as long as you are willing to integrate, it will give you a chance to become 'your own people'."

"Your generosity and kindness are touching, and your wisdom and courage are even more appealing to follow."

Miss Huazi patted her ass a little.

Then, no longer bothering Mason with the rest of her work, she turned and swayed away quickly, and this scene fell into the eyes of Harley, who was hiding not far away.

After Hanako left, Harley immediately jumped out.

She whispered:

"That woman is so strange, why haven't I seen her before? She's trying to please you, Mr. K, she's probably the legendary bad woman, right? ”

"That's an android, Harry."

Mason explains:

"It is the data ghosts from the dead world who have returned to the world through mechanical miracles, and although they have lost their flesh and weakness, they still yearn for a home.

They are credible. ”

"But the Stars have the world in their hands, and Quinn told me to be careful of these heartless robots."

The crazy beauty pursed her lips, and while the beauties around her stood on tiptoe and pecked at the corner of Mason's mouth, she said to Mason:

"The old lady is here, just waiting for you in the box."

"Well, you go play."

Mason patted Hallie on the waist and said:

"It's really rare to relax like this tonight, you will definitely not be happy to let you accompany me to talk to the old lady about those things, remember to eat less ice cream.

And take your medicine on time. ”

"Got it."

Hallie laughed, tilted her head cutely and waved goodbye to Mr. K, then hummed a song and bounced towards the bustling lower floor.

Mason laughed dumbly, every time I saw Harley full of energy, it was a pleasure, don't care about the overly sharp voice, then her heartfelt laughter is really contagious.

He pushed open the door of the box next to him, wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and in the dim light, the old lady in a crisp suit was sitting on the sofa looking at a few documents.

Steward Oswald stood beside him, holding a penguin umbrella given to him by Mason.

Seeing Mason walk in, the old lady was not polite, and looked up and said:

"I met with several faction elders of the Assassin League in the castle under the Alps, and despite the endorsement of Damien and the sword of the demon leader, they were still reluctant to obey.

They want me to complete the handover with my current leader, Talia, and the implication is obviously to see us kill each other.

I need some manpower, Mason. ”

"It's ready. There's no shortage of combatants under your command, so I've given you some managers. ”

Mason stepped forward and sat down across from the old lady and said:

"500 professionals skilled in intelligence gathering and dealing with factional strife, cold enough and loyal enough to be in place in three days at the latest.

Miss Hanako Arasaka, the current business director of the Afterlife Bar, will be in charge of assisting you with your acceptance of the Assassin Alliance.

As for the contradictions between you and Talia, I am not involved. ”

He shrugged his shoulders and said:

"That's not only a inheritance between the leaders, but also a family conflict, and the strict father-in-law wants to teach the ambitious daughter-in-law a lesson, and you should solve this matter yourself."

"Thalia will betray you."

The old lady put down the documents in her hand and said:

"If I take the League of Assassins away from her, she will definitely choose to stand on her own. According to Damian, his mother has been suppressed by his grandfather for too long, and she will not give up power in her hands with the current ambition growing. ”

I have a different answer to this question. If she really had nothing, she would be more loyal than anyone else. ”

Mason waved his hand and said:

"You have to believe in the wisdom of the daughter that Lei Xiaogu has taught since she was a child, she is indeed ambitious, but she also understands the truth of obscene development.

Without the Assassin League in her hands, she had to cling to the k-Team's thighs until she regained her power.

So the solution to this problem is not on my side.

It's up to you.

My advice, old lady, is that in the event of a conflict, remember to be ruthless, which is good for you and me.

Well, let's not talk about Talia's problem.

Let's get down to business.

The Stars have decided to launch a secret invasion of this world, and I will pass on the specific information later, but it is certain that in the next period of time, the eyeliners they have left in this world will be active.

It's time for you and your team to show off your might.

The Justice League is a positive organization, and they can't do such a thing. ”

"Hmm."

The old lady made a nasal voice, signaling that she knew.

He was not surprised by this situation, and in the face of the invasion of the Star Society, Thomas Wayne was not afraid in the slightest, and he would fight to the end here.

Mason is sure of this.

"But even if you act swiftly and precisely, and perfectly eradicate every hidden danger, the final head-on conflict is inevitable."

He rubbed his forehead and said:

"I hope you can find a way to deduce the time of the outbreak of the conflict as much as possible, and give me some opportunities to help you find reinforcements, preferably two to three months before entering the full-scale conflict stage."

"Does this time have any special significance?"

The old lady asked suspiciously.

Mason didn't hide it, he explained:

"That was the fastest time a powerful force could reach our side, having set up an ambush for the Stars in their own world, eliminating a large number of B-Class and one A-Class at once.

If we can get their help, the conflict that breaks out in our world will be of great benefit to us.

The Flash is currently working on improving his cosmic treadmill to have a transfer effect similar to the World Gate, and this improvement will also take a lot of time.

The Emissary of the Isu world is currently in Gotham.

I asked him to meet him for a while.

When the time comes, you will come with me, and he will be a very powerful Assassin, and I am sure he will help you control the operations of the Assassin Alliance. ”

Thomas was shocked by this explanation, and the old lady said in amazement:

"How much hidden power do you have prepared for a head-on clash with the Stellar Society? You have long expected this war to happen? ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

Mason pouted and said:

"How could those greedy hounds let go of such a large piece of fat? They also have internal conflicts and contradictions, and the various resources that a super-A-class world can provide will effectively delay the outbreak of such contradictions.

I've also heard that they've been trying to conquer other super-A-tier worlds like this one, but most of them have ended up in failure, and I think those unknown and powerful worlds will also be our possible allies in the future.

As for the power I've hidden, there's not much in mind.

But just now, Miss Huazi provided me with a new idea. ”

He blinked and said:

"When necessary, I mean, if the battle goes on in a very unfavorable situation, we can 'recruit Yin soldiers'! All it takes is a little commitment to earn an entire world of undead warriors to fight for us

I'd suggest using this as a backup plan, and once you're in control of the Assassins' League, I'll give you blueprints for the Androids' production lines, build covert factories around the world, and then"

"Bang Bang Bang"

A hurried knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Mason and the old lady, and when he looked up at the door, he saw Charles pushing the door to reveal a head, and said:

"Boss! Bruce Wayne is here! But we didn't invite him, and now the reporters and guests outside are crazy, and I suspect he came to arrest us?

Do you want to get the brothers ready? ”

"If he did come to arrest us, he wouldn't be showing up as Bruce Wayne, my poor Charles, who was scared out of the psychological shadow by Batman."

Mason stood up and said:

"Let Miss Huazi go out to greet him, I'll wait for him in the office."

"Oh, okay."

The kite man closed the door and ran to convey the order, and the old lady in the box had already gotten up and was about to leave but was stopped by Mason with his hand, he watched the old lady's expression change, and said:

"Do you want to come with me to see your son? It's not a matter of hiding like this, you are now nominally the majority shareholder of the afterlife bar, and going out to meet the distinguished guests is a necessary action. ”

"He's sharp, Mason, sharper than I thought."

The old lady shook her head and said:

"Martha almost got out of Bruce just by cooking him dinner, and my meeting with him will cause unnecessary waves."

"Let's meet again, Thomas."

Mason persuaded:

"You have to know what you're fighting for, and every time you see him, it only makes you more determined, and I'm convinced of that."

"Then let me say hi to him."

The old lady hesitated.

He took his trench coat and hat from Oswald's butler, drank another dose of Polyjuice Decoction to change his face, and followed Mason out of the box.

At the elevator entrance on the top floor, I happened to meet Miss Huazi who accompanied Bruce Wayne and John Wick, who was disguised as a bodyguard.

The moment the elevator door opened, Bruce, who was maintaining a playboy demeanor and had a good conversation with Miss Huazi, instantly noticed the man next to Mason.

Despite the difference in size and appearance, the strange sensation still made his heart beat a beat, exactly as he had felt that night when he had tasted that dinner full of strange sensations.

"The young man has a good temperament, he is very handsome and calm enough, and he rarely has a delicate heart."

The old lady stepped forward, with the characteristic smile of the old man, and with a smile, he stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the richest man in Gotham, and encouraged:

"Work hard, the Wayne family depends on you."

With that, he walked into the elevator without the slightest pause, and left the place with Oswald butler.

Bruce was completely stunned.

There was a rare distraction on his face with a flat smile, and his eyes were full of inquiry and doubt when he looked at the elevator, until Mason slapped him twice and woke him up.

"Lord Mason, the Wayne family has just decided to inject capital into the Afterlife Bar, and Mr. Bruce has praised our property, saying that we will definitely make it to the top."

Miss Hanako smiled and reported her work to Mason.

On her first night, less than 30 minutes as a business executive and less than 20 words of chat with Bruce Wayne, she made a horrific investment for the bar.

Although there is also an element of the old man's "acting on the spot", the result has completely proved Huazi's super strength in this regard.

This android from a noble background must have some kind of trait similar to "super charismatic" and "leader".

"Then thank Mr. Bruce for his generosity."

Mason smiled and made a "please" gesture to the master, and as they walked to the office, Bruce finally asked:

"The Man Just Now"

"Oh, that's the majority shareholder."

The young man explains:

"A very rich Kaizi, I used potions to cheat a lot of money from him and persuaded him to take over this shop, and this will be our base of operations in the future."

For Mason's understatement, the old man didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

But instead of debunking, he asked:

"Is it safe here?"

"At least this layer is absolutely safe."

Mason pushed open the office door and said:

"You can take refuge here in the future if you are in trouble, but why did you suddenly come here tonight? Or in the guise of Bruce Wayne, it's not like your style. ”

"There's just something I have to tell you."

As he walked into the office, the old man took out the blood-stained card from his personal pocket, handed it to Mason, and said:

"I've found Mason about your background."
