"Get out!"

With Ian's scream, the thugs who had been beaten up by Rachel all ran away.

Gangsters are not like bureaucrats who have a complete system behind them to mobilize social resources, nor are they like violent organizations such as the military that have received a complete discipline education.

What sustains them is money and so-called righteousness, and in the absence of discipline and ideals, a single violence can completely destroy them.

The violence that Ian and Rachel possess can crush them completely.

And the number of people in the construction site behind him far exceeds these thugs, not to mention that most of them are still rolled out of the hell on earth in Gotham.

Even without Ian and Rachel, these guys wouldn't be able to make a splash, and they would even be beaten into meat sauce by the workers.

"Let's get on with our work, leave this garbage alone!"

Ian does not hide his identity, let alone his purpose, so after the Gotham gangs are killed one by one, his fame also spreads throughout Gotham, and almost everyone knows his name.

"Mr. Ian, don't worry about us."

"That's it, these metropolitans like girls, Lao Tzu can beat him to the hospital with one punch."

……

The workers brags about themselves around Ian, but it's not all lies.

Although the metropolis is also in chaos now, compared to Gotham, there is still a sense of madness that has nowhere to go after stepping on a dead end, and once they make a move, they are no opponent at all.

But Ian was not interested in stirring up regional conflicts between the two cities, so he turned the conversation to the issue of treatment, and to understand the general situation, he stopped talking.

The workers didn't pester him anymore and dispersed, and at this time, Rachel squeezed to Ian's side and asked, "What fun have you encountered in the universe?" ”

"Look at this!"

Ian opened his palm, and the blue light ring lit up, and the blue light energy manifested a miniature yao room phoenix under his will, which came alive, and his mouth let out a clear cry.

With a flick of its wings, it left Ian's palm, and the beautiful figure caught Rachel's gaze before landing on her shoulder.

"I met the Lamp Beast Yao Room Phoenix this time, and this is her power."

Ian tells Rachel a brief story about the Lamp Beast, which makes the little girl's eyes start to have stars.

She said regretfully: "I knew there was such a fun thing, and I would go to space with you if I said anything." ”

Ian stretched out his finger and flicked his head, reminding, "This is not a fun thing, the lamp beast is involved in a huge crisis, if it is not handled well, the entire universe will sink to death." ”

"We've all been through so much trouble, what's so special about a bird."

Seeing Rachel muttering quietly, Ian also gave up on explaining the night of darkness.

There are enough troubles to deal with now, and there is no need to add indifferent pressure to others. The Black Death Emperor is of course a very troublesome opponent, but his tentacles can't enter the physical universe yet, so it's certainly necessary to be vigilant, but you can't go too far.

Ian put his arm around Rachel's shoulders and left the construction site with the little girl, walking along the freshly formed asphalt road, telling her about Diana.

But the little girl's reaction was really beyond Ian's expectations, and instead of blaming Ian, she pestered Ian to ask who of the two of them confessed first.

Ian was speechless, so he skipped this helpless question and explained the real reason why he came to the Met.

"Okay, that's the end of the conversation, I'm going to meet with Leah Luthor and talk to her about some business things."

Rachel patted her barren chest and said confidently, "I haven't seen Leah much since you tricked her into setting up your own company." I can try, though. ”

"It's okay, I must have met her today, it doesn't matter in what way."

Ian kissed Rachel's smooth forehead, and the red hedron on her brow flashed a few times—it was the Three Palaces Demon expressing displeasure.

"Our boyfriend and girlfriend are affectionate, what does it have to do with you."

Ian was not polite to his titular father-in-law, and directly drew magic runes around the red spar, immediately blocking the passage between the Three Palace Demons and the outside world.

Rachel touched her forehead and smiled in surprise: "It's finally quiet, this guy is babbling in my ear day and night, it's really annoying." ”

She grabbed Ian's arm and said with a smile, "I've always been worried that doing it myself will make the Three Palace Demon find a chance to escape." It's still Ian, you're amazing, and you succeeded all at once. ”

Ian looked at the little girl's arrogant appearance and said with a smile: "I'll give you a task to pick out all the defensive magic in the Demon Immortal Treasure Book." ”

"No problem, I've learned all the magic in the Demon Immortal Treasure Book. But the Lampbeasts are not part of the magic ranks, are you sure magic works for them? ”

Rachel had become accustomed to Ian's habit of getting serious whenever and wherever he was, leaning on him and answering as he spoke.

Ian glanced at Rachel, who seemed to have no bones, and supported her with one hand, and said: "The power of the Yao Room Phoenix is not very aggressive, and the Lantern Ring is more inclined to defense and amplification, I only need to borrow the framework of these magic, and the blue light energy will naturally replace the effect of magic."

As for the lack of attack, it can be supplemented by the abnormal energy system. ”

"Since you've planned it, I'll listen to you."

Rachel leaned against Ian and took a deep breath, there was no body smell on him, but instead a sunny-like smell that was addictive.

"Get down to business!"

Ian reached out and flicked at Rachel's head, bouncing the fantasy out of her head.

"What are you doing?"

"Hurry up and contact Leah Luthor, this is a big deal involving the entire Metropolitan Redevelopment Project, don't think about it."

After being sanctioned by Ian, Rachel came to her senses and hurriedly contacted Leah, and after learning that she was in the company, she directly opened the latitude gap, walked through the space, and came to the door of Leah's office.

Tuk Tuk ......

Rachel knocked on the door, and Ian surveyed the building beneath his feet, the corridors covered in marble, crystal chandeliers overhead, potted flowers and plants rarely seen in autumn, and people in suits and leather shoes.

He turned his head and looked out through the glass window, not far away was a construction site, where the workers of Wayne Group were in full swing to build a new metropolis under the sun, all sweating profusely and their skin tanned by the sun.

"Although the United States claims to be the world's first in science and technology, the achievements of these technologies have not been able to share much of the profits on the workers in the end."

Ian secretly commented on the situation around Leah Tech, and soon the door of the office opened, and Leah, dressed in a professional outfit and with high heels, walked out of the door.

"Rachel!" Leah gave Rachel a big hug before looking at Ian on the side and returning to her ice face.

She didn't have a good impression of Ian, the man was too aggressive, and the last time we met, he had turned himself into a loner with no way out in just a few words, and the feeling was really unforgettable.

So even though Leah is now the boss of Leah Tech and gets rid of the rotten things within the Luthor Group, she has no gratitude to Ian.

Ian noticed Leah's attitude, but didn't care about it, he said directly: "I'm here to communicate with you on behalf of Bruce and Oliver, find a quiet place!" ”

Leah wanted to get Ian away, but reason told her she couldn't, and without the support of the Wayne Group and the Quinn Group, Leah's technology would be devoured in an instant.

"Come into my office and talk!"

Leah secretly adjusts her mood and invites Ian and Rachel in.

"Your affinity has failed in Leah!" Rachel telepathized with Ian.

Ian said nonchalantly, "I have a good relationship with Bruce because we have the same philosophy, so we can theoretically convince them." But is Leah Luthor a person...... At least I'm not familiar with it, and at this stage we can only use the situation to force her to side with us.

Since it was persecution, then of course she would not have a good impression of me. ”

Rachel actually felt that everyone was friends, and there was no need to make the relationship so stiff, but seeing that Ian and Leah had serious expressions, she still stood on Ian's side.

"What do you want to communicate with me, isn't my support for you enough?"

Leah opened the protective device in her office to block out the possibility of eavesdropping.

Ian then waved his hand and added a few more spells to the office, staring at Leah's gray pupils for a moment before saying, "Hasn't Lex contacted you lately?" ”

A look of annoyance rose on Leah's face: "If you are here to find my brother, then I can tell you very clearly that there is no connection between us. ”

"Maybe!"

Ian looked at Leah's resistance playfully, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about?" Leah frowned: "How I run my own company is my business, and outsiders have no right to ask." ”

Seeing this woman pretending to be stupid, Ian sighed: "I said so much to you for the sake of Rachel and Kara's face, since you are pretending to be stupid, then I'm not welcome." ”

He said bluntly: "You can extract the resources of the Luthor Group to establish Leah Technology because Bruce and Oliver are behind it. We hope you will be our supporters at Met.

But since the start of the Metropolis redevelopment project, you have been indifferent and have not only sat idly by as a chaotic gang organization harassed the workers on the construction site, but you have also danced the universe when the business and political circles have come forward to embarrass us. ”

"I'm not your slave." Leah was poked by Ian in the most uncomfortable part of her heart, she leaned forward and shouted, "The Luthor Group is our family's business, and what to do with these resources is my own business." ”

"!"

Ian didn't give Leah face at all, and retorted bluntly: "According to my thinking, social and economic development should be the gradual growth of public ownership and the gradual overtaking of the private economy, and the assets of the Luthor Group are the products of employees' labor."

According to neoliberalism, Bruce and Oliver could have split up the Luthor Group directly, but it was Rachel and Carla's chance that we helped you set up your own company.

So, you don't have the right to say such things from any point of view. ”

Ian's words were like a knife plunged directly into Leah's heart, tearing apart her fantasies and forcing her to face reality.

No matter how smart Leah's mind is, after Lex Luthor disappears, she has very few resources to mobilize alone, let alone do anything.

At this time, Ian extended an olive branch to her, which really did Leah a great favor and gave her the opportunity to be independent.

It stands to reason that Leah is grateful to Ian for the combination, but the Luthers' innate ambition is also revealed in the process.

With her mother, who doesn't care about her husband and children at all, and her brother who doesn't care about human life just to prove that he is better than the aliens, Leah just hopes that she won't experience another helpless situation of being attacked by the Luthor Group board of directors.

And in Leah's opinion, if you want to stop experiencing such a thing, you must master your own power.

Leah doesn't reject the alliance with Ian, but Leah Tech must be her own. In order to make Wayne and Quinn realize this, she chose to do nothing and not help each other.

Ian is well aware of this speculator's mentality, which is commonly known as "whoever wins helps whom".

"You're not as good as Lex, that big bald guy is a guy who would rather give up his life to achieve his goal, and Leah doesn't have that courage."

Ian's words made Leah very dissatisfied, but he didn't care about the girl's mentality at all, and continued: "If it were your brother, he would definitely join the merchant side of the metropolis and do everything he can to prevent us from gaining a foothold in the city. ”

"If it were me, I would join the superheroes, use the resources at my disposal, seize the control of their path, and turn myself into a leader."

"But you didn't do anything, you missed a great opportunity, and no one will accept you anymore."

Ian detected Leah's attitude and issued an ultimatum: "We will sweep away everyone in the Metropolis who stands in our way, and now you have to make a choice and take your stand." ”

Leah looked at Rachel, and without saying a word, she knew that she couldn't solve this problem in any other way.

"If I don't choose you, what do you want to do with me, kill me now?" Leah's words were full of resentment, and she felt that there was no difference between Ian and the shareholders of the Luthor Group.

Ian asked rhetorically, "Why did I kill you?" ”

"Killing people doesn't do me any good in this matter, and if you don't agree to accept our discipline, Wayne and Quinn will take back their capital injection into Lea Technologies. It's that simple! ”

"But it was enough to force me to jump off a building." Leah said as she stared at Ian and gritted her teeth.

"I am not obligated to help a stranger who may be my enemy."

Ian's voice grew colder, like the harshest judge waiting for the verdict.

Just as Leah was in a dilemma, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and a bunch of drones flew outside the building, and they began to shoot at Leah's office.
