"Except for this general, everyone else goes out and takes your soldiers away!"

Ian walked into the command room and began to command these people of rank and position in a superior manner.

In the face of the enemy, these officers were supposed to fight to the end, but the guns in their hands, and even the daggers, turned into metal powder, so they could only stare wide-eyed and stand in place, at a loss.

They looked at Ian and then at their general, and although they didn't speak, everyone was waiting for someone to give the order.

"Sir, do as Mr. Ian says, and take our soldiers home!"

The general, who was protected by everyone, did not panic, he calmly gave the order to let his subordinates leave here.

Ian let the officers go, and didn't do anything to them.

And these proud officers walked up to Ian and unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look into the man's eyes.

"I don't know your name yet!"

After all the unrelated people were gone, Ian dragged a chair and sat in front of the general, who was only wearing camouflage uniform.

"Patrick!"

The general naturally pulled his chair and faced Ian without flinching: "General Patrick Remus!" Nice to meet you, Mr. Ian. You are now the most famous person in human society, and it is not easy to meet you. ”

"It's easy to see me, just go to the Hall of Justice and make an appointment. I'm not a big star, and it's easy to meet me. ”

As Ian spoke, his ears moved, and he heard the sound of troops moving outside.

"Who sent you here to set a trap for me?"

At the end of the greeting session, Ian went straight to the point, he stared at the general, and asked in a deep voice: "General Patrick, everyone knows very well in their hearts, although the old men sitting in the White House are all a bunch of bastards. But they were not stupid enough to mobilize troops on their own soil without evidence. ”

"What can I say?"

General Patrick had an embarrassed smile on his face, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended to be innocent: "I'm just a loyal ordinary soldier, there are orders from above, and I will carry them out." As for what twists and turns are in there, I don't care. ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

Ian was still sitting in his chair, but pulled out the golden rope, placed it in front of him, and said, "If you don't know, then let me introduce you." This is the lasso, as long as you are put on this rope, no matter what I ask, you will tell the truth. ”

"But."

He smiled and emphasized: "We've had a pretty good conversation so far. So I hope that you don't have to use this rope, and everyone will be able to speak clearly in a friendly manner. ”

Patrick seemed to be stabbed by the golden light, he leaned back and said, "Truth Lasso, isn't this Wonder Woman's thing?" How could he be in your hands? ”

The gaze in Ian's eyes suddenly became suspicious, and he said, "It seems that you have a deep understanding of the members of the Justice League!" ”

"I'm not going to fight unprepared!"

General Patrick coughed lightly, then sat up straight.

He no longer avoided Ian's gaze, touched the beard on his chin and said, "Since you have such a rope in your hand, it doesn't matter how I insist." ”

"The man who sent us is the 'Sovereign'!"

Ian didn't react, just made a gesture for him to continue.

Patrick looked at his composure and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it surprising to hear such a word as 'monarch' in this land of America?" ”

"I'm not interested in talking to you about the political system here."

Ian waved his hand and pulled the subject back to say, "Go on, what is this monarch?" ”

Patrick looked at Ian's firmness, and could only reluctantly continue: "The monarch is a family, and it is said that this family existed before the establishment of the United States. They created America with their own power, and then they hid behind the scenes and let people take control of the whole country. ”

"Corny lizardman argument!"

Ian felt disdainful in his heart, not to mention whether the entire family had actually done these things.

And even if they did, so what? What is not lacking in this world is all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, what is a monarch family?

"Have you ever had the privilege of meeting this Mr. Sovereign?"

Ian asked, "I want to meet him in person and solve this problem quickly." I'm in a lot of trouble right now, so I don't need any more enemies. ”

Patrick shuddered as he listened to the chill in his ears, and then said, "I do know about one of the monarch's villas, but I don't think they're still in that place. ”

"It's not important, tell me the address!"

Ian didn't want to listen to his advice.

General Patrick didn't say anything, didn't have a chance to say anything, and could only obediently confess everything he knew.

Once Ian had this information, he let him out of the room.

But as soon as Patrick left, he contacted the Hall of Justice and told them, "Help me find out the identity of a general, whose name is Patrick Remus." ”

"The point? There is no point, I need all his resumes, the more detailed the better. ”

Wanting all the information of a general is not easy for others.

But for the members of the Justice League, it's nothing, if the subject of the investigation is okay.

Potomac, Vermilion County, Illinois!

Known as the "Inland Empire" or "Prairie State," this state is a vast expanse of plains and forests in the Midwest of the United States, and was once a frontier for the expansion of North American colonists.

Today, of course, the state has been left obscure due to its failure to develop industry, and can only develop some services and tourism.

When Ian flew to Potomac, he saw what Patrick called the mansion.

The old building, which shows the British classical style, occupies an area that is more exaggerated than the royal palace. Ian looked out of the sky and saw that the courtyard was full of precious plants transplanted from all over the world, and the walls of the white marble building reflected a golden light because of the gold streaks on it.

"It's outrageous!"

Ian looked at the extremely luxurious building below him, and his body felt a chill.

From this building, he did not have any monarch's arrogance, but felt a sense of vulgarity of a local tyrant and nouveau riche.

As for the American flag floating in the courtyard, Ian couldn't complain.

"I should have known that the so-called mystery is just an illusion created by lies. As long as you look at it with your own eyes, the so-called absurd illusion will collapse in an instant. ”

Ian complained in his heart about the family that had long since walked into the garbage heap of history, and then slowly fell, stepping on this multi-billion-dollar courtyard.

"Welcome, distinguished guest, the lord is waiting for you!"

As soon as Ian landed, a tuxedo-clad butler stepped forward and bowed to him.

Looking at this old butler, Ian thought of Alfred, but the difference between the two was too much, and the old butler in front of him was like a wooden puppet, lifeless.

Behind the butler, there was also a row of maids and manservants with various utensils in their hands, as if to serve Ian.

"Save it, I'm going to see your master now!"

Ian ignored the butler in front of him, he had nothing to say to a group of golems, let alone accept their costumes.

A shocked look appeared on the butler Mu Ran's face, he seemed to feel that this was something unacceptable, and he opened his mouth to say something, and the servants behind him were the same.

Ian looked at these people who were so suppressed that they forgot what they were, and sighed in his heart, and his actions became tougher.

"Shut up!"

He let out a roar from his mouth, and his right foot shook to the ground, and the power of the earth spirit spread, and the entire manor began to tremble.

"No, no, no...... Distinguished guests, we will take you to the host right away! ”

The butler waved his hands in panic, trying to grab Ian and stop him, but in the shaking of the earth, he couldn't even stabilize his body and fell to the ground.

Ian withdrew the power of the earth spirit that had spread, and looked at the old tearful appearance of the housekeeper, and said in his heart whether it was anger or funny.

Looking at these people in front of them in order to protect those who do not belong to things and oppress themselves, they cry bitterly, and even have to pay for their own lives.

Ian really felt that these people were finished, that they had become tools for other people, and that they could no longer be called human beings.

"Hurry up, don't waste time!"

Ian urged the butler in a stiff tone to let him lead the way.

Originally, the butler wanted to arrange for the servants to clean up the messy courtyard, but at Ian's insistence, he had to put these things aside.

One after the other, the two walked into the palace-like room, and walked inward through the corridor, the floor-to-ceiling windows with carved glass were illuminated by the sun, and various forms of peculiar shadows fell on the walls, forming a strange fresco.

Ian's gaze wandered over the shadow murals, looking at the shadows depicting duels, assassinations, and wars, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

He stared at one of the paintings and said sarcastically: "I really pity Lincoln, such a man who can leave a name in history, why do all kinds of secret organizations want him to die?" ”

That's because Abraham Lincoln was a stubborn man. The Civil War gave him unrealistic illusions that he could stand up to us alone. ”

An old voice came from the end of the hallway.

The old butler who led the way in front bowed his head to the voice, bent his waist, and his expression was extremely humble.

Ian looked up and saw an old man with a crown, a red cloak, and a golden scepter walking up.

The crown on his head was entirely made of gold and set with a variety of solid gemstones, reflecting a strange light in the sun, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

The old man wears a red cloak with a pattern of golden thread embroidered on the edge, and a cross made of precious stones in the center, as well as various patterns.

Compared to these two things, the golden scepter in his hand was much inferior, but it was still a thousand times more expensive than the clothes on Ian's body.

"What's your name?"

Ian didn't have any ornate decorations on his body, but his wordless momentum overpowered the old man.

"Call me the Sovereign, and since I accepted this position as a child, I have not had my own name."

The richly dressed old man was not angry with Ian's anger, he knew very well that in this world only power was the real thing.

And the man in front of him has a strength far beyond ordinary people, so he can endure all the other party's performances.

But Ian wouldn't tolerate this old man hiding behind the scenes, and he said coldly, "Now is the time to settle the problem between us." Keep your people away from the Justice League, I don't care how you fight with those old guys in the White House, stay away from us. ”

The monarch was a little surprised to confess the bottom line directly to Ian. More importantly, he didn't believe that this was what Ian really thought.

He turned his body with difficulty, facing the shadow of the Civil War, and said, "In the Age of Discovery, my ancestors came to this continent and found the artifact from a group of stupid women.

From that day on, people in my family knew that the secret to controlling the world was to 'make people think they were free'. ”

At this point, he turned around, looked at Ian and said, "I don't know what you powerful people are thinking?" Do you really think that those who only run around for three meals all day long will contribute to the world? ”

Ian let out a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm not talking to you. If you refuse to accept this condition, then go to war. ”

"I'm in a lot of trouble right now, and I'm not in the mood to dwell on these frivolous things with an old antique like you."

What does this bastard in front of him have to do with him who wants to use lies to control the whole of the United States?

The United States is not from him or the Justice League, and when this old bastard's matter is exposed, the first to be anxious are those politicians in the White House.

The tentacles of the monarch family, interfering with their power, have nothing to do with Ian.

He said to the monarch: "I don't care what you do with the United States? As long as you stay away from the Justice League and its allies, I don't bother to care what you've done? ”

"You're realistic!"

The monarch was not sarcastic, but praised: "Frankly, I thought you would hold on to the so-called principles and hold on tightly." ”

"You talk too much nonsense, haven't you talked to people at your level for too long, and you don't know what normal talking looks like?"

Ian's poisonous tongue is still sharp.

The monarch shook his head and said, "I accept this truce. But I would like to state that the recent events related to the Amazons have nothing to do with me. ”

Ian turned his head and stared at him suspiciously.

"Don't look at me like that." The monarch hurriedly clarified: "I do say nothing in the United States, but those Amazons came out of the horns. Who else but you Justice League will have access to them?

Of course, I have prepared a plan to deal with you, but this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

Ian's eyes were lowered, and he quickly recalled the whole thing, and then asked, "Do you know General Patrick Remus?" ”

The monarch lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally the housekeeper went to check before he remembered such a person: "I have only met him once or twice, and this ambush was prepared by my army." But I don't know who he is. ”

"I see!"

Ian nodded abruptly, realizing that he had been tricked.
