Slightly damp wavy black hair draped over snow-white shoulders, delicate facial features elegant and glamorous, legend has it that the women of the Amazon have been blessed by Athena, and their faces are ageless and youthful, and the queen of the paradise island in front of her proves that this is not a rumor.

Although she was wearing only a tulle robe, the woman sitting in front of Red could exude a dignified and majestic body like a crown wearing a gorgeous dress.

She is Hippolyta, the mother of Wonder Woman Diana Prince.

"Don't be so restrained, I'm not going to threaten you with what just happened, I know it was just an accident, and you don't need to wear Ares's helmet while you're here, Red."

Hearing Hippolyta's words, Red took off the head of the jar with some embarrassment, after all, no matter what the reason is, it is still not honorable to stay in the women's bath, especially when he is caught red-handed by the owner.

And it sounds like Hippolyta already knew her true identity.

But it seems that Hippolyta had no intention of revealing the secret, and she showed up in the palace hall with Red, and after telling the others that she had found the lost Red somewhere in the palace, she took Red to her boudoir.

However, Hippolyta's initiative to show favor is certainly not for no reason, especially as the leader of a female supremacy tribe has a ghost for strange men from outside.

"Let's get straight to the point, Queen Hippolyta, what are you coming to me for—or in other words, what can I do to help?"

"As Ares said, Mr. Douglas is a smart man."

Seeing Red's unbeaten attitude, Hippolyta sighed lightly and her expression became serious.

"To put it simply, I want to entrust you...... Something about my daughter, Diana. ”

Red's heart sank, judging from the intelligence he had gathered, the content of Batman's external propaganda was that Wonder Woman had disappeared during the events in Washington. But since Hippolyta still entrusts herself as the "murderer", this proves that she already knows the truth of the matter.

"They hid Diana in a place I didn't even know, but I could sense that my daughter must still be alive......"

"You want me to help you find Diana and get her out?"

Red knew that Diana, who was the origin of the spread of the anti-life equation, must now be suppressed by the Lasso of Truth and hidden by Batman. But Hippolyta shook her head gently, and in this moment, Red could keenly catch the sadness that flashed in her eyes.

"I want you to help me and free Diana!"

The whitish joints of Hippolyta's clenched fists showed her inner pain and struggle, but even so, she looked at Red with a determined gaze.

"I'm not stupid, and although they hide it from me, I already know that Diana was corrupted by the evil gods...... I can't imagine how painful the child has endured during this time, and how much he could become a pawn of the enemy at any moment. ”

Actually, Hippolyta guessed correctly - no, probably not, it was obvious that someone told Hippolyta the truth.

"In that case, we might as well put an end to her suffering...... I want her to die as a hero, in the way of an Amazon. ”

Red stared at Hippolyta for a moment, then whispered.

"Why me?"

"It can only be you, Red Douglas, Ares has told me about you. Others either don't have this ability, or they can't do it, but you're different, you've killed countless heroes, and it's ...... for you."

"Do you have a lot of debt?"

Red sneered and looked at Hippolyta, who stood up and walked forward, the momentum of his body suppressing the Amazon queen.

"I'm not a cheap executioner, Hippolyta. Even I don't think of killing as a pleasure, especially killing a superhero with a lot of friends and fans. ”

Looking up at Red who was walking step by step, even Hippolyta, who had lived for a long time, subconsciously crossed her fingers together because of nervousness.

"But if you let others know you-"

"I suggest you think about how to communicate with me, Queen, and make it clear beforehand, I don't accept any threats."

When she met Red's fierce gaze, she immediately understood that it was impossible to make him submit to him by threatening him.

Hippolyta took a deep breath and looked up at Red with a calm look.

"Of course, I am not asking you to bear the sin of killing the favored daughter of the gods for nothing, and I will reward you accordingly...... Specifically, I swear in the name of the Queen of the Amazons—"

"This paradise island will be yours!"

Red raised an eyebrow and looked at Hippolyta thoughtfully.

"I know that you have many enemies in the world, and even after this crisis is over, it is likely that many will seek revenge...... Paradise Island is a place blessed by the gods, and although the gods are now gone, the magic of the island can still keep any foreign enemies at bay. ”

Red really wanted a place where he could live in peace, and Hippolyta's proposal was attractive from that point of view. But in fact, there are two problems -

Did Hippolyta really have the right to give gifts from the gods to herself?

Also, is Hippolyta's words really credible? Could she be the inner ghost controlled by Darkseid?

This Amazon queen really can't bear to send herself to kill her most beloved daughter?

——

Red did not immediately accede to Hippolyta's request, offering that he would have to think about it for a while.

After all, Diana is now the source of the anti-life equation, and Red doesn't know what the consequences of killing her rashly - let alone finding her, I'm afraid Batman is a problem that can't be bypassed.

Now is the threat of Darkseid, and it's not a good time to fall out with Batman.

However, Hippolyta seems to be relieved when she sees that Red did not immediately agree, and it seems that it is also a difficult decision for her to find someone to kill her daughter - although it is not known if this reaction is disguised.

Having said that, after coming to Paradise Island, this is already the second invitation to cooperate, of course, from Hippolyta's words, Red also found out that Ares played a role in it, and the truth of the Washington incident seems to be what he told Hippolyta.

Just as Red was thinking about whether to call Ares out and ask for clarification-

Shout!

Suddenly, with the faint sound of breaking wind, a chill hit the back of his head.

Burst!

In the midst of the lightning, Red raised his hand without looking back, easily grabbing an ankle wrapped in a leather boot.

"I guess kicking people you just met isn't the right way to say hello."

"The current head of the Justice League, Miss Black Canary."
