If Amanda hadn't been caught in the Lasso of Truth right now, Roy and Diana would never have believed a word she said.

After all, a high-level official of a beautiful country like Amanda is full of lies is their most basic professional requirement.

Now, however, Amanda uttered such an answer while she was being caught in a lasso of the truth.

This has to make them believe.

Amanda could not have resisted the effect of the Lasso of the Truth.

This means that what she says now is true.

After hearing Amanda's answer, Roy and Diana glanced at each other, and a bad premonition popped up in their minds at the same time.

If the terracotta figurines sealed with the succubus were not taken by Amanda, then who actually took them.

After thinking for a few seconds, Diana continued to ask:

"How many people still know about the succubus figurines?"

"Aside from me, only the person in charge I sent to the altar cave to find the heart of the succubus knows."

Amanda replied quickly.

"Who's in charge of finding the heart of the succubus?"

"Where is he now?"

Diana asked Amanda.

"His name is Sam Wilson, and he used to be a commander in the Sky Eye Society's action team."

"The day after the succubus heart was returned, he died."

"Died in a traffic accident that I specially arranged."

Amanda said without changing her face.

What is called turning the face and not recognizing people, this is it!

After hearing Amanda's answer, Diana's expression became solemn.

"As far as you know, who else but yourself would be interested in the Succubus Terracotta Figurines?"

Diana asked with a serious face.

"All I know now is that you two are interested in the Succubus Terracotta Figurines."

Amanda replied quickly.

After looking at Amanda for a few seconds, Diana took the lasso of the truth back.

Obviously, Amanda didn't know who had taken the succubus figurines from the museum, and there was no point in continuing to ask.

After the Lasso was retracted, it immediately reverted back to its unremarkable appearance.

Hanging the lasso of the truth around her waist, Diana said to Amanda:

"Although the succubus terracotta figurines in the museum were not taken by you, for the sake of safety, the succubus heart cannot continue to stay with you."

"Hand over the heart of the succubus, and take Barbara back to prison."

"It's not a request."

"If you refuse, we will forcibly take the heart of the succubus, you should know that we have such abilities."

Diana on weekdays is a very gentle and easy-to-talk person.

But now, she is extremely tough, and she does not give Amanda a chance to refuse at all.

At the end of the day, it's all Amanda trying to take control of the succubus.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many things going on.

What's more, because of Amanda's ambitions, the whereabouts of the sealed succubus figurines are now unknown, and it is unknown who will fall into the hands of whom.

"I can give you the heart of the succubus."

Amanda replied without hesitation.

Although she is the representative of the beautiful country in charge of transhuman affairs, she knows that neither she nor the beautiful country has the strength to deal with the top superhumans.

Previously, the list of top transhumans only included Superman and Wonder Woman.

Now, add Roy's name.

Amanda came to her desk, picked up the internal landline phone on it, and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, Amanda quickly said:

"Bring the AKT-49 in."

"Now, right now!"

With that, Amanda hung up.

In less than a minute, a man in a black suit arrived at the office with a black coded suitcase.

Subsequently, the suitcase was handed to Amanda.

After handing the suitcase to Amanda, the man didn't say anything and left the office straight away, closing the office door at the same time.

The whole time, the man ignored Diana and Roy, who appeared inexplicably in the office, as if neither of them existed.

When the black suit left the office, Amanda continued:

"The heart of the succubus is yours now."

Amanda placed the suitcase on her desk, typed the code in front of Diana and Roy, and opened the suitcase.

In the next second, Amanda's expression became very difficult to look at.

This suitcase is indeed a suitcase specifically designed to hold the heart of a succubus.

But now, the heart of the succubus isn't in the suitcase.

The place where the succubus heart was supposed to be placed is now empty, and there is nothing.

"Are you kidding us?"

Glancing at the suitcase with only bombs and detonating devices, Roy said to Amanda.

"I swear, the heart of the succubus was here before."

Amanda replied immediately.

Although Roy's abilities are not particularly clear yet, Amanda is sure that Roy is a little trickier than Diana.

"Your oath doesn't have much credibility."

"Besides, I don't think anyone can sneak the succubus heart from the suitcase right under your nose."

"I can't think of any other reason than the fact that you transferred the succubus's heart in the morning."

Roy said unhurriedly.

Although Amanda is now showing superb acting skills, his domineering appearance does not perceive the corresponding emotions in Amanda.

How so?

Amanda's shock and surprise are only on the surface.

Her heart is still very calm.

"I don't have the ability to be a prophet, how could I have known that you would come here to ask for the heart of the succubus."

Amanda asked rhetorically.

"It's true that you don't have the ability to be a prophet of the future, but you have already guessed that we will come to the secret base tonight to find you."

"Or rather, when you see Diana and me in the apartment tonight, you're prepared for the worst."

"Of course, you can deny it."

"You should know, though, that Diana can easily ask for an answer with just one more mantra lasso."

"Don't waste everyone's time, hand over the succubus heart."

After hearing Roy's words, Amanda's expression suddenly became extremely cold.

After a few seconds, she said slowly:

"I have to say, I underestimated you!"

After meeting Roy and Diana in the apartment, Amanda knew that she would probably not be able to save the heart of the succubus.

But even so, she plans to give it a try.

So, she went for a method that wasn't very clever, but it was easy to get people dark, and it took some luck.

She knew that Diana had the Lasso of Truth in her hand, and she knew that she was not immune to the effects of the Lasso of Truth.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't have a chance at all.

The Lasso of Truth can only make her tell the truth, and there is no way to control her specific actions.

Before arriving at the base, she had the heart of the succubus diverted.

To be exact, it was transferred to another identical suitcase.

As long as Diana asked her to hand over the succubus heart, and the Truth Lasso did not continue to tie to her, she would have a chance to exchange the tanuki for the prince in front of Roy and Diana.

What's more, because what she said before was the truth, she could better mislead Roy and Diana and pretend that she didn't know.

It's not a 100% reliable approach, but in the current situation, it's the best she can do.

However, she would never have thought of it.

Her true emotions are the biggest hole.

Or, she didn't expect Roy to have the domineering ability to sense her true emotions.

"Alright, don't waste everyone's time, hand over the succubus heart."

"You don't want to see me and Diana hands-on."

Roy continued.

Amanda sighed helplessly and picked up the landline on her desk again.

A few minutes later, the man in the black suit once again picked up his suitcase and came to the office.

Unlike just now, after entering the office, he looked at Roy and Diana with a wary face, and put the suitcase on the desk with some reluctance.

Although he didn't know much information, he knew that Roy and Diana were not in the same camp as them.

After putting down the suitcase, the man in the black suit did not leave, but stood in front of Amanda like a bodyguard.

Ignoring the man's gaze, Roy went straight to his desk and opened his suitcase according to the code he had just seen.

This time, he finally saw the succubus's gray-surfaced, glowing green heart, still beating.

Closing the suitcase, Roy said to Amanda:

"Isn't it good to cooperate early, it has to waste everyone's time."

After speaking, he came to Diana with a suitcase, and put his left hand around Diana's small waist.

Without hesitation, he summoned the power of the stars and cast a flash in front of Amanda and the man in the black suit.

In an instant, he and Diana left the underground base and teleported to the roof of the building a few blocks away.

After reaching the roof of the building, Roy said to Diana:

"I'll leave the heart of the succubus to you."

"Personally, it's better for you to change something to hold the heart of the succubus."

"If nothing else, there should be some hidden positioning devices in this suitcase."

"Even if you didn't, you wouldn't want to put together a bomb that can be detonated remotely and a succubus heart."

With that, Roy handed the suitcase to Diana.

Looking at the suitcase handed by Roy, Diana didn't think much about it and took it directly.

"Okay, I'll take good care of the succubus's heart, and I won't let it fall into the hands of anyone else."

Diana said quickly.

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"As for who took the clay figurines that sealed the succubus from the museum, it's up to you to find a way to investigate it yourself."

"If you need my help then, you can contact me again."

Roy continued.

"Uh-huh!"

Diana nodded back.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and have a nice night."

As soon as the words fell, Roy disappeared in front of Diana and flashed directly back to the presidential suite of the hotel.

Although I ran a lot of places tonight, and finally figured out who was behind Barbara.

But he and Diana didn't get much out of it tonight.

The heart of the succubus is now in their hands, but the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus are gone.

So in the end, the crisis has not been resolved.

However, with the heart of the succubus in hand, even if the succubus is really released, it is not a big problem.

The heart is the succubus's death hole.

Unless someone can temporarily untie the succubus from the heart.

Otherwise, even if the succubus came out, it wouldn't make much of a fuss.

After going to the wine cabinet, taking out a bottle of whiskey, and sitting alone on the sofa in the living room for a few drinks alone, Roy walked towards the bedroom.

……

The next day.

Hotel restaurant.

Roy and Selina sat facing each other, savoring the breakfast in front of them.

"Where did you and Diana go last night?"

Selina asked as she ate her breakfast.

"I didn't go to many places, but I just went to the museum's temporary warehouse and Amanda's apartment and secret base."

Roy didn't hide it from Selina and briefly recounted the events of last night.

After hearing that he and Diana went directly to the underground base and took the succubus's heart from Amanda, Selina looked at Roy with surprise on her face.

Roy would do it, and Selina wasn't surprised.

After all, Roy didn't pay much attention to the officials of the beautiful country.

But she didn't expect that Diana would actually do the same.

"So what are you going to do next, continue to look for the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus?"

Selina continued.

"I'm sure I'm still looking for it."

"But don't be in a hurry, the heart of the succubus is already on Diana's side anyway."

"As for how to find the terracotta figurines, Diana should go to some professionals for help."

The professional Roy is talking about is none other than a half-human, half-mechanical steel skeleton.

Although until now, he had never seen Cyborg.

But he knew that Diana and Clark were both connected to Cyborg.

It's just that unlike Diana and Clark, who come out from time to time to stop criminals and help others, Cyborg is relatively much more low-key.

If Diana and Clark are full-time superheroes, then the current Cyborg is a bit like a part-time job.

"Won't you help find it together?"

Selina continued.

"Not very interested."

"Besides, we're just here to relax in the Met."

"This kind of thing should be left to the local residents of the metropolis to solve."

Roy said with a smile.

"Okay!"

"Since you don't plan to go looking for the terracotta figurines, then do you want to accompany me to Metropolitan University."

"Maggie called me this morning and asked if I wanted to go to the university."

It's not a weekend, so Maggie still has to stay in school.

However, Maggie didn't plan to wait until the weekend to come back to Selina, so she took the initiative to call and ask if Selina wanted to go to Metropolitan University.

"I can do it all."

"If you want to go, let's go."

Roy replied quickly.

"Uh-huh, then we'll go over after breakfast."

"Speaking of which, I haven't really been to college yet, and I don't know what it's like to take classes at university."

Selina said expectantly.

Although she is not a student at Metropolitan University, Metropolitan University does not mind people from outside the university auditing.

Of course, if you want to audit a course, you still have to go through the formalities.
