267. Countering violence with violence
Martian Manhunter's expression was sincere, but that wasn't the answer Roy wanted to hear.
"Isn't it a waste of everyone's time?"
"Let's get straight up, what the hell do you want to do?"
Roy said to Martian Manhunter.
If it weren't for the fact that Martian Manhunter is a superhero, the moment he sees Martian Manhunter, he will let Martian Manchuck know what the consequences will be if he trespasses into someone else's residence.
"Since you've asked like that, I'll be straight to the point."
"I'm here this time, mainly because of the terrorist attack that happened at Metropolitan University a few days ago."
Martian Manhunter said quickly.
"Isn't this matter settled?"
"Besides, even if there's anything else, you should go to Cyborg, not me."
Roy said with a frown.
He killed all the terrorists in the auditorium.
As for the grid, that's a steel-bone thing.
"I'm not here for the grid."
"If it was something to do with the grid, I'd go straight to Cyborg."
"I'm here to talk to you about the terrorists in the auditorium."
Martian Manhunt continued.
Terrorist?
Aren't they just a bunch of mercenaries?
What's there to talk about here?
Roy looked at Martian Manhunt in bewilderment.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Martian Manhunt continued:
"Although the terrorists in the auditorium have been killed by you, the matter is not over yet."
"According to the investigation, they are not real terrorists, but mercenaries hired by the grid."
"What's more, their organization is still there."
"It's only a small fraction of them who came to the Met."
What Martian Manhunter is saying now, Roy knew when he looked at the memories of those terrorists.
But he didn't think it had anything to do with him.
Although those terrorists were killed by him, not many people know that he did it.
The students in the auditorium only saw the terrorists shoot themselves, not knowing that he was doing it in the shadows.
Not only did these students not know, but even the news media attributed the suicide of those terrorists to Diana.
"And then?"
"What does this have to do with me, you wouldn't have come here to remind me to be careful of the revenge of those mercenary companions, right?"
Roy asked about Martian Manhunter.
"Of course not."
"Let's not say that they don't know that you are the one who made those mercenaries commit suicide, and even if they do, they can't threaten your life."
"I'm here to ask if you're interested in working with me to physically eliminate these dangerous elements that could cause injuries to innocent people in the simplest way."
Martian Manhunter said with great seriousness.
What?
Roy looked at Martian Manhunter in surprise.
Although Martian Manhunter does not have a no-kill oath like Batman, he is not a person who likes to fight violence with violence.
He's a superhero, not an anti-hero!
Although I don't know what kind of experience the Martian Manhunters in this universe have, judging from what he just said, he is very different from the characters in the comics.
"Are you planning to counter violence with violence?"
Roy asked Martian Manhunter.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with countering violence with violence against those dangerous elements."
Martian Manhunter quickly replied.
Hearing his answer, Roy frowned slightly.
Of course, it's okay to fight violence with violence!
The problem is, he is now curious about what the Martian Manhunters of this universe have experienced, and why they have a completely different personality than in the comics.
After some thought, he said to Martian Manhunter:
"Let's not talk about countering violence with violence, I can't agree to you for the time being that you want me to team up with you."
"I prefer to go it alone than to work as a team."
"In addition, as long as others don't take the initiative to provoke me, I won't suddenly have a sense of justice and run to deal with them."
Martian Manhunter had expected Roy to seriously consider his proposal.
Unexpectedly, Roy decisively refused.
Although this result was a little different from what he thought, he did not intend to continue to persuade Roy.
"Since you're not interested right now, forget it."
"If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me at any time."
With that, Martian Manhunter walked towards the balcony of the living room.
Instead of pulling open the sliding door of the balcony, he used his blurring ability in front of Roy and passed through the sliding door like a ghost.
Then, he flew into the night sky and disappeared from Roy's sight.
After watching the Martian Manhunter leave, Roy flashed back to the car.
"Dealt with the intruders?"
Seeing him back in the car, Selina quickly asked.
"No, he's not an enemy, he just came and asked me if I would be interested in teaming up with him to deal with the bad guys."
"I refused, and he left."
Roy said to Selina.
"Do you know who the other person is?"
Selina continued.
"An alien with a lot of superpowers!"
Roy replied quickly.
Unlike the already well-known people like Superman and Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter did not appear in front of the world as a superhero.
While that doesn't mean no one is aware of his existence, there isn't any news coverage of him out there right now.
Alien?
After hearing Roy's answer, Selina frowned slightly.
Although she was a little curious about what kind of aliens it was, she didn't continue to ask.
If Roy wanted to say anything, he just said it, instead of calling each other aliens.
Since he didn't say it, there must have been his considerations.
Selina once again showed her empathetic side and ended the topic decisively.
……
Time flies.
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.
Although Metropolis is a great city to live in, after living in Metropolis for more than ten days, Roy and Selina returned to Gotham.
On the one hand, it's because of what the metropolis can experience, and they've experienced it all.
On the other hand, it is time to deal with all the trivial matters accumulated on the Kyle family's side.
After replacing the status of the Falcone family and turning the power and territory that originally belonged to the Falcone family into the Kyle family, the Kyle family, which currently has only Roy and Selina as the core members of the family, has become the top group among the many families in Gotham.
Although there is no way to compare with the famous Wayne family, and the other three of the four families.
But compared to other wealthy families and gangster families, the Kyle family is only stronger, not weaker.
This means that the Kyle family usually has to deal with a lot of things.
Back in Gotham, Selina fully experienced how annoying it can be to manage a family.
Today's Kyle family has abandoned all underworld businesses and focused on serious business.
However, even so, big and small things, Selina still misses the days when she was an art thief more and more.
Compared with before, she is indeed richer now, and she has more status.
But she's also busier.
In order not to be annoyed by the family business, she recruited several personal assistants to help her manage the family business.
Selina is busy managing the family business.
And Roy is busy tweaking the new AI assistant Hancock.
With his unremitting efforts, Hancock was finally adjusted.
Although there is no way to reach Nami's level for the time being, compared to the beginning, it has changed dramatically.
At least now Hancock won't ask Roy some very "idiotic" questions.
The Kyle family's underground laboratory.
Roy commanded Hancock to dismantle the vibranium bracelet he had brought and improve it.
The system is still in a state of emergency repair, and I don't know when it will be better.
Although there was no way to remove the vibranium stored inside from the system space, Roy decided to start with the vibranium bracelet he carried with him first.
Functionally, the vibranium bracelet that accompanied him to this world is not very bad.
The reason why there is no response at all is purely because the vibranium bracelet cannot be connected to any network.
As long as you reset it and let the vibranium bracelet reconnect to the network, the vibranium bracelet can restore some of its functions.
Of course, if you want to restore all the functionality, it would be better to improve it and change it to connect directly to Hancock's core database.
In this way, the vibranium bracelet can be fully functional.
Controlling the specially purchased equipment, Hancock completely disassembled the vibranium bracelet.
"Sir, the material used in this bracelet is very special, and it has a wide range of applications."
"If there were more, there would be a lot of great things to make."
Hancock said to Roy.
"I know, but that's all there is to it now."
"I'll give you a recipe sheet, you make it into an alloy with a purity of about 25%, and then use these alloys to make four bracelets."
In the past, it was not 100% pure vibranium, and Roy disdained to use it.
But now, he can only ask Hancock to refine the vibranium from the bracelet and add other metals to refine it into a less pure vibranium alloy.
Only in this way can there be enough material to make other vibranium bracelets.
"Yes, sir."
Hancock replied immediately.
"How long will it take to get better?"
Roy continued.
"It only takes a few hours to improve the bracelet in front of you."
"If you want to make three more bracelets from the newly synthesized alloy, it will take a day."
Hancock replied.
"One day at a time, and this time tomorrow, I'll get a new bracelet."
Roy said as he wrote out the vibranium alloy recipe table.
Then, Shi Flashing leaves the manor and arrives at the newly acquired office on the top floor of the Kyle Building.
This is Serena's office, as well as the office of the chairman of the Kyle Group.
Selina, who was looking down to review the documents, did not notice Roy's arrival.
It wasn't until Roy came to her that she realized Roy was coming.
"You've got that bracelet done?"
Selina put down the papers in her hand and asked Roy.
"No, I'm still letting Hancock improve it now, and I can get it done tomorrow."
Roy replied.
"Oooh!"
"Do you have anything else to do now?"
"If you don't have one, take a look at the documents for me."
"I used to think that being the chairman of the board was a very handsome thing, and I only needed to be responsible for signing and nodding my head to agree."
"But now, I realize that I was ignorant before."
Selina said with a frown.
For her, who did not finish high school, it was not an easy task to take control of a large group.
Take the document in front of her, she knows every word on it, but she can't understand what the data and reports on the document mean.
"Didn't you hire a lot of professional assistants, just hand over the ordinary documents to them."
"You just have to work on the important files."
Roy spoke about his previous fish-touching methods.
"It's all that I need to deal with."
Selina said helplessly.
Forehead......
Looking at the folder on the desktop, Roy sighed and said to Selina:
"Then you take a rest first, and I'll take care of this for you."
Although he doesn't really like to do this kind of thing himself, since Selina is in trouble, he certainly can't sit idly by.
"Uh-huh!"
Selina nodded quickly.
Then, he stood up and gave up the leather boss chair to Roy.
When he sat down, she stood beside him and didn't leave, wanting to see what he was doing with the papers.
Under Serena's gaze, Roy picked up the first document.
After a quick glance, he quickly gave a review opinion.
So fast?
Seeing that it took Roy less than ten seconds to write the opinion "The data is wrong, re-review" at the end of the document, Selina showed a puzzled expression.
"You're done reading it so soon?"
Selina asked.
"Is there anything wrong with this review?"
Roy asked rhetorically.
"It's not that there's a problem with the review, it's how you managed to read it so quickly?"
"Also, how do you know that the data above is wrong, and you have calculated it by heart?"
Selina continued.
After hearing Serena's inquiry, Roy smiled and said:
"When reviewing these documents, you can simply ignore the irrelevant embellishments and focus on the data and the final conclusion."
"As for why I know that the data is wrong, you are right, I figured it out."
Although Roy does not have superhuman super intelligence, his mental attributes far exceed those of ordinary people, giving him very good computing ability.
Plus, when he was still in Krako, he was used to this kind of thing.
The Kyle Group does have a lot of things to deal with on a daily basis, but it's nothing compared to Krako's Ministry of Defense.
"Well, I thought you used some special method."
Selina said slowly.
She also thought that Roy had used some special method to process a document so quickly.
I didn't expect it, and it was a normal practice.
For Selina, it may take more than half a day to process these documents on the table.
But for Roy, it only takes more than ten minutes at most.
In no time, he had gone through all the papers on the table.
"It's all taken care of, you just have to sign your name."
Although she helped Selina deal with these documents, the signature still needs to be signed by Selina herself.
After all, she is the chairman of the Kyle Group.
