"You ......" was mentioned to his father, and the eyes of the actor who was still performing on stage just now suddenly flashed with a fierce light, but only half a second later, his face showed a blank look

Chen Tao didn't expect that he had given Aquaman such a serious stimulus, and he was still pretending. Originally, in order to prevent Aquaman from pretending to be stupid, he deliberately said something that would make the other party angry to induce him to expose himself.

But apparently Aquaman saw through this, and still tried to fool the past, to make Chen Tao and the others believe that he had made a mistake - or did he think he was cheating on him?

Chen Tao turned his head to look at the super girl: "Madam, do you know what to do?" ”

"Hmm. I know. Supergirl nodded, then the next second.

Rumble!

Tavern.

Exploded.

"Nope! Aren't you superheroes? Look what you've protected! Why am I the one who hurts? ”

The barkeeper pounced on him and tried to grab a decorative statue in his shop, but then he saw Supergirl fly to another angle, and his hot gaze went around his palm, burning the statue to ashes.

"No !!"

The tavernkeeper wept bitterly: "What happened? ”

Originally, it was still good, why did it suddenly ......

"Stop! That's my favorite drink! ”

Finally, Arthur, the king of Aquaman, who had pretended to be his own performance day tuna on stage, could no longer pretend.

He hurriedly waved his trident and intercepted a hot sight of a super girl shooting at the wine cabinet in the air, and then he realized that he was exposed, so he could only smile bitterly:

"I didn't expect you to be so ......"

He couldn't go on. He turned his head, and the man with long blond hair and beard looked at him in surprise, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face:

"God, you...... You...... You're ...... You asked me to work as a security guard in the tavern, and then you hinted to others that you were Aquaman, claiming to be Arthur......

It's all about covering you, you...... You're the fisherman's legendary Aquaman......"

"You...... You also told me to let me obey your orders, deliberately let some smart people who found out that I was fake suspect you, and then suddenly revealed that both of us were fakes, so as to achieve the purpose of whitewashing and hiding your own identity...... It's so smart that once people confirm that I'm a fake Aquaman, they will subconsciously think that you are also fake...... And that's exactly what you're here for! ”

"That's right, it's me. Sorry. The real Aquaman, that is, the young man who has no long hair or beard, is like a young man in his early 20s, Arthur, who played his own day tuna on stage just now, pointed apologetically at Chen Tao and his group, and said:

"They've been checking my whereabouts, and I'm sorry I had to play such a trick to deceive you in order to keep my information channels on land."

The blonde bearded man was still muttering, "I really didn't expect it...... I really didn't expect that! I had some guesses, like you never need to take off your golden contact lenses...... But as soon as I thought that Aquaman was willing to participate in that funny skit of Neptune Day, I thought it wasn't you, but I didn't expect it...... Who would have thought that? ”

Aquaman Arthur's face darkened when he heard this.

Connor listened with a question mark on his head. Super girl Carla couldn't stand it anymore, she explained in a low voice: "The real Aquaman is the actor who played Aquaman on stage just now, he found a bearded blonde man who claimed Arthur to pretend to be Aquaman, and claimed that it was all a show, understand?" ”

The owner of the tavern was still shouting from the side: "My tavern! Woooooo ”

Arthur, the king of Aquaman, lifted him up from the ground and placed him on a chair.

Then he turned his head.

A very different aura from when he hid in the crowd just now spread from his body:

"So...... Once you're done with me and my friends, it's your turn. Even if you try to find me, you shouldn't pay for the loss of the Tavernkeep, it's not a heroic act. ”

"There will be a person responsible for the damage to this tavern in the future, and the guaranteed compensation will be enough for you to build 10 new taverns."

Chen Tao walked up to the tavern owner: "This town has an internet and signal, you can look at your bank account now, the money has arrived now." ”

“！”

The tavern owner took out his mobile phone and took a look, and immediately his heart was overjoyed, and he performed a wave of sadness turning into joy on the spot, and Sichuan Opera changed his face.

He kicked and shattered the glass of the bar in front of him: "Burn!" Burn it casually! Burn well, burn wonderfully! Burn croaking! All right! I'm rich!! This earth-shattering wealth has finally hit my head! ”

Then he actually twisted his fat belly in front of the public, and danced a cheerful belly dance selflessly.

A guest in the tavern leaned his head and glanced at the amount of money that the owner had been transferred, and the whole person stayed there.

"......" Aquaman stood next to the dancing tavernkeeper, feeling like a fool. He took a deep breath and stumbled, "Uh...... But even that's not what a hero does, you shouldn't smash the store and then ......."

Then he was grabbed by the arm by the tavernkeeper, who was halfway through the dance:

"Nope! Should! It should be! I wish I had this happening every month! Oh, I'm a rich man! Belch!! ”

The tavern owner ignored the Sea King as he spoke, he took out his mobile phone with his hands dancing, and then called his family: "Brother, our family is rich!" ”

"It's time for us to talk." Chen Tao turned around and said to Aquaman Arthur.

They walked outside the tavern, and Superboy Connor tried to stop the curious tavern crowd, but the drunken drunkards ignored Connor's obstruction.

They took advantage of his inattention, so they climbed over the guardrail, and directly tried to get close to the two of them, Arthur and Chen Tao, who were discussing things, and they dared to sneak back next time after Connorty slipped back, so that Connor could only use his super speed to send the idlers who kept coming over there back to their original positions like a porter.

"It's useless."

Super Girl Carla pouted beside her and said.

“？”

Connor, who was diligently practicing and doing stupid work, suddenly became a little angry when he heard this: "What can you do? ”

"Look at me." The Super Girl flew directly over the crowd of people who had been taught repeatedly, and then a head of golden hair flew under the creature's standpoint:

"You're all in the back!! Otherwise, I'll shoot you with a laser!! Damn it!!! You people!! I'm going to shoot you all with a laser!! ”

Superboy Connor stared blankly at Shi Shiran's supergirl Kara who came down from the sky, and the crowd behind her.

“……”

"You know." Kara held out a finger and spun it around the door of her head:

"Sometimes, you have to think a little bit of a bat."

"Yes...... But you're ...... like that."

Then he saw the super girl squirming to the edge of the crowd like a little girl next door: "I'm sorry for the roar, everyone, after all, I want to maintain order......

Then in front of everyone, she took out a book that read:

From Arkham to the Batcave: How to Be Batman's Favorite Robin

The following subheadings are:

Barso Caro's Youth Full Strength Robin's Diary, A Righteous Life Doesn't Need to Be Explained!

(Note: Basso Carlo, the original name of Clay Face.) The book first appeared in chapter 79 and is now passed down to Kara. ）

Kara said softly:

"I'm looking at the operation manual that requires the necessary means to scare everyone! Don't be angry, huh. ”

"Huh?" Connor said, "You think you can ...... this way"

"It's okay, it's okay......"

"We are also at fault, we should not say it and think about it without listening...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"Fierce super girl cute pinch."

I sent it. Connor looked numbly at the group of drunks and idlers in the tavern.

Why? Whoever shoves me back into the petri dish, hurry up.

And Chen Tao's side......

“…… We don't have much to talk about, and I don't have time to help you deal with any alien visitors right now. Aquaman Arthur said honestly: "A bunch of things in Atlantis are enough for me to annoy. ”

He stretched out his fingers, which were somewhat rough like fishermen, and Chen Tao noticed that there were many calluses in his palms caused by years of holding weapons.

While not a trained warrior like Wonder Woman Diana Prince, the dock boy is also a master of long-handled weapons that he has been a halfway monk.

Many people often ignore the personal combat effectiveness of Aquaman Arthur and the king of Atlantis, and even take jokes and skits seriously, which is definitely a complete mistake.

Not everyone has the ability to send Superman dozens of meters away with one punch (Aquaman V8) or go head-on with Wonder Woman Diana.

Most people hit Clark Diana, and they're just going to knock sparks or break their own bones. Being able to rank among the Seven Giants of the Justice League and contribute a first-line villain of the Aquatic Walker system like Black Manta Ray is in itself a testament to Aquaman's strength.

Aquaman Arthur stretched out his fingers and pulled them down one by one:

"The opposition group within the Atlanteans [Flood Beast], I don't know if they did the attack, and ...... Black manta rays. ”

He said: "The manta rays came to me with great fanfare, and he told me that he wanted me to witness his destruction of Atlantis. ”

He said:

"He's a madman, angry at the city-state where millions of Atlanteans live because of my personal enmity with him. He was a threat to Atlantis as a whole. ”

Arthur said, "I have to guard Atlantis in case something might go wrong. ”

"Wrong." Chen Taorui commented:

"That's why you can't figure it out. We need more pioneering ideas, more imaginative and creative plans. Go straight to the point and kill with one hit. ”

Without waiting for Aquaman Arthur to continue to say anything, Chen Tao continued: "I'm here to ask you for something called the Mother Box...... In exchange, I'll help you solve these problems, and I'll do it. ”

"I don't need your help, I can ......"

"Oh, poor Aquaman Arthur." Chen Tao said.

"Your mother is a royal member of Atlantis, and your father is a surface dweller, a lighthouse keeper.

How does it feel to have a man's origin story that sounds like a seafarer's horn? You come from these two worlds, but you don't belong to either side, and you are therefore not accepted by either world. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"But despite being understood, ridiculed, and unvalued, you persevered, and you were busy guarding the earth and the sea, like a beacon for your father in his old age. You look at the coastline to protect the dry land from the angry sea, and keep the ocean away from the green land. ”

Aquaman Arthur was silent, he would never tell anyone about this, but everything he did was told by Batman in front of him for the first time.

"I feel very, very sympathetic to you and your unfinished business." Chen Tao said.

"You're convinced that you're fighting for a better and safer world. You are undoubtedly a superhuman, one of the best heroes, you are a king, you are in charge of a country, but those on land see you as a joke or a threat. ”

"Most Atlanteans hate your rules. You fight every day to maintain the interests of both your parents and the world. ”

"When war and all the struggles surround you, there is no doubt that you believe in peace, and even the fish will not talk to you."

"I'm getting a little impatient...... said Arthur the Aquaman, "and saying what I'm doing doesn't change anything." ”

He was somewhat silent: "The tradition of land-hating within Atlantis predates the history of American founding. And the government's fear of Atlantis is also well understood. ”

He smiled reluctantly and said, "Let's get straight to the point." If I'm not mistaken, you're Batman, and those enemies from another world are going to take over Earth, and you need something called Mother Box that is guarded by us Atlanteans? ”

Even though he knew that the other party was simply telling the truth about what he had done, Arthur still felt a little relieved. This passage brought their relationship a lot closer.

For a long time, what he did was not understood and at the same time disgusted by both sides.

The people of the Flood Beast Organization call him the False King, though he hasn't spoken to anyone...... Even if it was his favorite wife, Mela, it still stung him.

And Batman......

Perhaps one of the few people who would judge his actions fairly.

"I'll give you what you need, but correspondingly, I'm too weak to be part of your team."

Aquaman Arthur said, "So I'm sorry, I ......"

"I'm going to build an embassy for Atlantis and then establish diplomatic relations with the United States completely."

“？”

"You're trying to put Atlantis on the world stage, and at the same time you want the world that breathes air to accept the ocean kingdom that she fears at the root, don't you?"

"I can help you do that."

Aquaman's eyes lit up.

"I can also help you solve the troubles you are encountering now, clarify all the misunderstandings between you and the government, and promote the normalization and regularization of exchanges between the two countries. And ......"

"You said the Atlantean opposition group [Flood Beast]?"

"Yes, they're a bunch of separatists, they've been immersed for years, but today they're attacking." Aquaman said, "Eventful. ”

He paused, then said, "It's unusual, although it may be their spontaneous behavior, but it is also possible that they are driven by a third force, and I have more opponents than friends. ”

"The interrogation will tell us the truth." Chen Tao said: "Then it was decided happily. ”

"I will be your helper to help you solve the problems that Atlantis is currently experiencing, and then promote the establishment of the embassy."

He said, "You, on the other hand, are going to give me the mother box, and then join my team and join us to save the world." ”

He stretched out his hand towards Aquaman: "So, is there a deal?" ”

Under the somewhat humid and cold air and warm sunlight on the beach, Aquaman held Chen Tao's hand.

"Deal!"

……

……

……

Organize the meeting hall.

Black manta rays are fighting.

There were already seven or eight corpses lying at his feet, and a dozen soldiers in high-tech armor were besieging him, but they were not his enemies.

The figure of the black manta ray kept jumping out of the golden spatial vortex he had created, and then jumped in and disappeared without a trace.

It seems that the black manta ray has found a new kind of power...... Or rather, equipment.

"Uhh!!h

The black manta ray grabbed the harpoon with his backhand, pulled it out of the chest of one soldier, and plunged it into the chest of another, and then not far away, he saw a soldier raise his gun at him.

"You bastard......" (Italian)

A chill welled up in the black manta ray's eyes, and the hot, crimson laser condensed at the emitter on his helmet.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and Black Manta turned its head, and Black Jack held up the still smoking gun.

"Your laser will blow this place to ruins." She said to the manta ray, "Let me do it for you." ”

A few minutes later, the black manta ray was sitting on the main seat and was all around. Group of people.

All those who dared to resist and their soldiers had already been killed.

"Anything else?"

"So...... Now you take over. Syndicate? A man at the table raised his hand and asked.

As a secret society that has existed for more than a century, the management has relied on its own technical ability to rise to power, just like a group of pirates, the strong can survive."

The black manta rays point their ten fingers together, and his body leans forward slightly, revealing his streamlined biceps and prepectoral muscles, and even if he has not deliberately designed the movement, his appearance is still full of strength and beauty.

From the backpack on his back all the way to the helmet, the tube used to conduct energy fluttered like wings on the back of his head.

"I killed your fisherman, and now I am the fisherman. Blackjack is your second-in-command, and she realizes that following me is the right thing to do. ”

"Sometimes there is a price to be paid for recognizing the situation." Blackjack added from the side.

"Therefore...... Unless you still have objections. ”

The black manta said, "Otherwise, let's get to work." ”

He turned to ask one of the leaders in the hall.

"Can anyone tell me before. Where is the Syndicate's plan to deal with Aquaman Arthur Curry? ”

"I ...... We pretended to be Atlanteans to attack the South Atlantic aircraft carrier USS Pontcharrain, which had only entered service with the Navy in March of this year. Soon our pretended Atlanteans will declare to the United States that Atlantis is responsible. ”

"When the time comes, we'll unleash the monster called the Hairy Man from a partner ally called the Outsider.

"We will let it be the vanguard, take us pretending to be American troops to attack Atlantis, and then cause as many casualties as possible, so as to provoke the warring faction within Atlantis that hate the landers."

The leader flipped through the information in his hand.

"Good, good. Do you know? You've done a great job, and that's one of the reasons why I went to great lengths to join you: I couldn't have done such a good thing. ”

The black manta ray nodded in satisfaction.

"These plans can make Aquaman painful, so where is the plan now?"

"The plan was synchronous, it started a few hours ago."

"So what were you going to do?"

"We're going to induce the U.S. government to go to war with the Atlanteans."

"To put it simply, when we get the aircraft carrier, we will use it to launch a nuclear bomb, and then the United States will take the lead, and then we will send people to attack Atlantis, and Atlantis will follow suit, and then ......"

"And then if the Justice League doesn't intervene, Atlantis and the United States will lose both? No, no, no......"

Black Manta vetoed:

"Nothing like this is going to happen, this plan is completely unworkable."

"So what are we going to do?"

"It's simple." The black manta ray said, "We fight fast. Don't think about having Atlantis and the United States fight for a long time and then lose both, I bet Batman will use hostage-taking and the like to force a truce, such as tying the president of the United States to the Atlanteans to clear up the misunderstanding or something. ”

"Tie ...... Hostage-taking? Batman? "That. The boss almost didn't figure out who the villain was: "I'm ...... None of us would do such crazy things. Are you sure he would do it? ”

"That's why you're third-rate villains and third-rate villains." Black Manta commented sharply.

He then continued:

"We need more pioneering ideas, more imaginative and creative plans. Go straight to the point and kill with one hit. Only、Bat thinking、Defeat、Bat thinking! ”

Then he said: "We're going to do it before Batman can react, the U.S. war response process is much faster than the Atlanteans, we first convince the Americans that they are under attack, and then cut off the U.S. president and various departments, and then help the U.S. attack the Atlantis quickly before the Atlantis reacts, and the Atlantis will break their energy shield with a nuclear bomb at once, and then kill at least 70% of the Atlantean civilians, leaving the Atlanteans' most elite war troops." ”

Then he asked next to it. Leader: "Do you understand?" ”

“？” The poor leader was about to cry: "I am ......"

"It's stupid."

黑鲼 says:

"I mean to turn what you planned into a long tug-of-war into a single-hit decapitation battle against Atlantis on the American side, which we helped and led."

"Do you understand?"

When the leader heard this, he cursed in his stomach.

Fuck you.

"It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, I just need to understand." 黑鲼 says:

"No one, better than me, Batman!"
