Metropolis.

Bruno Manhedon hasn't been out for a long time.

In the eyes of the outside world, the development of their international gang is now in full swing. The entire metropolis, and even some other cities, including Gotham, have heard that the International Gang has found a powerful backer, and now it is a thousand miles a day, as if it is about to become the number one criminal empire on the planet.

But reasoning with equipment that has led the world for an unknown number of centuries is almost enough to arm into an interstellar force. As a result, the most evil idea they can think of is to grab more banks and get more bills, in fact, the so-called pattern is just like that.

However, it is not unreasonable to do so. After all, DC is a special place, where your technology can be centuries ahead of the world, but it's not worth it in the face of the individual power that is everywhere. With a bunch of apocalypse mass-produced miscellaneous soldier equipment, it's okay to abuse vegetables and fry fish, but if you really want to do something big, you can't even pass the level of Metropolis's local superman.

And the suspected involvement with aliens has recently attracted the attention of the Tianyan Society. For this reason, Bruno, the leader of the International Gang, had to keep his head down and keep a low profile, and he had to change several strongholds a week to prevent being caught.

In fact, after the excitement of getting the interstellar weapon at the beginning, now Bruno is a little nostalgic for the past.

In the past, he was the Metropolitan Crime Emperor, and he was a smooth noodle person in both black and white. It's like now, not only do you have to hide in Tibet and bow your head to be a man, but there is also a big boss behind you who can't be provoked. Those aliens have to go east if they point to the east, and he has to go west if they point to the west, how can they still have the momentum of being a criminal emperor back then?

On this day, he was huddled in the newly transferred stronghold and was preparing to eat, when a henchman named Jack quickly approached him.

He is now the head of the organization, and his position is classified within the International Gang. Ninety percent of the members are not qualified to know where the boss is, and as his right-hand man, Jack is one of the few who knows where he is hiding.

Bruno was a little surprised: "Jack? Didn't I ask you to take someone to raid Belleaf Prison and snatch that Martian? ”

"yes, I've been." Jack said wryly.

"Been there? So fast? Bruno was surprised, "Why didn't anyone report to me?" ”

"Uh, there was a little bit of an accident."

Jack secretly looked at the boss's face and whispered.

"We went according to the plan and blew open the gate and went to prison. Bellev's guards are really vulnerable, but uh. An unexpectedly ruthless character appeared. ”

Bruno's eyes flashed, and he frowned and asked, "Superman again?" ”

Recently, the main opponent of the International Gang is Superman, and nine of the ten important actions were stirred up by Big Blue. But it can't be helped, who made them the Metropolitan villains?

"Superman. Sure enough, the lord was right, and he had to find a way to deal with this threat, otherwise he would not be able to move an inch. Bruno said in a deep voice, "Clinton designed an ambush and successfully lured Superman into a trap that we carefully arranged.

It was a great achievement, but I never expected to kill a Batman halfway. Otherwise, the Boy Scouts would no longer be a threat by now."

Jack shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "More ruthless than that." It's that Ultraman. ”

Bruno Manhedon gasped.

Good guys, when did we provoke such a number one person again?

"That. Well. There is one more thing" Jack hesitated, as if something was difficult to say, "It's that Ultraman, although the mission is unfavorable this time, I can also lead him to the designated position"

"Oh?"

Bruno's eyes lit up.

Although the opponent is strong, now they have the support of Apocalypse Technology, and their confidence is relatively inflated. If you can set a trap in advance like the last time you ambushed Superman, you might not be able to defeat Ultraman.

"Very well, if the ambush is successful, it will be a great achievement." Bruno bowed his head and said, "Where are you arranged?" ”

Jack resignedly, "It's right outside, he's waiting for you to get out."

"Huh?"

Bruno's brain was down for a few seconds, and he couldn't even figure out what it meant.

Immediately, he was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "It's your kid who brought Ultraman here!?" ”

As he spoke, he drew his gun and pointed it at Jack's head.

Jack looked bitter: "I'm also forced to be helpless, boss." You didn't see him make a move

Anyway, stop it, boss. It's all Ultraman outside, and we're surrounded by him alone. ”

Bruno was furious. He has been hiding everywhere for a while, swallowing his anger, and his efforts for so long have been ruined by a leading party.

Thinking of this, he was angry in his heart, and he turned on the pistol safety with a "click": "You, you, you"

Righteousness was on his head, and he glanced back from the corner of his eye, and suddenly found that a certain red and silver steel body had refreshed in his room at some point, and he was expressionless.

Obviously, even if he pulled the trigger, that being would be 100% able to disarm him before the bullet could be discharged.

Bruno's angry expression disappeared in an instant, and his tone became like a spring breeze.

"You, you, you are really, such an important guest does not say a word in advance. Harm, I don't have time to prepare for hospitality in advance, what do you say if you neglect your guests? ”

Saying that, he had already put the gun on the table, and he quickly got up to the side and gave up the chair under him, and politely faced Shen You: "You sit, you sit"

"You're welcome, just ask a few questions." Shen You waved his hand.

"I'm out there." Bruno smiled and waved his hand, "You just ask." Don't say it's a problem, if you ask me to dig my mother's grave, I will arrange for someone to do it immediately. ”

Even Shen You couldn't help but look sideways. Good guys, so ruthless?

Is it you with filial piety?

There is a way that a big husband can bend and stretch, and some people can mix so high and hug the thighs of the emperor of the universe, but it's really not good if they don't have tongue skills.

As soon as Shen You asked, he confessed everything.

The cause is similar to what Shen You guessed, and it is similar to the original comic book and the development in Superman animation. It's just that one day, a space tunnel (most likely a burst channel) suddenly opened in the headquarters of the International Gang.,A gentleman in a suit and leather shoes (presumably disguised by Dissad according to the animation) came out of it.。

The gentleman was very generous and provided them with incredible weapons for free, giving them the ability to fight Superman.

But as we all know, the free ones are the most expensive. When the other party finally began to make demands, they found that they could no longer get out, and the entire International Gang was basically reduced to the thugs of the Apocalypse Star on Earth.

"Batman? Why do I know where Batman is? Bruno looked dazed.

"Before Batman disappeared, he was investigating the International Gang and your alien master." Shen You tips.

Bruno shook his head repeatedly: "If you think we got Batman, you're very wrong. He came to me just before the Gotham media said he was gone. ”

"Looking for you?"

"yes, not many people in my safe house know where I am, and God knows how he found it." Bruno snorted, "I was sleeping in bed in the middle of the night, and suddenly he pulled me up and asked me a bunch of similar questions you just asked."

Shen You's heart moved.

In this way, Batman has actually caught the leader of the International Gang a long time ago. But he didn't do it, probably thinking that Bruno Manhedon was just a puppet.

Rash action will only startle the snake, and it will have no effect on the people behind the scenes - the other party is just a puppet to continue to act, and it will also cut off the only clue at present.

"What else did he ask?" Shen You asked.

"I also asked a guy I don't know how he found out, but he had a surprising grasp of what was going on inside our organization.

He even knows about Steppenwolf."

"Wait, what wolf?" Shen You interrupted.

"He calls himself 'Steppenwolf', as if he were some high-ranking alien general. The liaison said that from now on we would all obey his commands, and that he would be in charge of all affairs on earth.

But we've never seen him directly, and I don't even know if he's really a wolf."

Shen You groaned.

Steppenwolf, that is, the villain in the DCEU Justice League movie. A member of the New Protoss, the general of the Apocalypse Star. But unlike Disard, who was a strategist and a general.

The fact that the matter was delivered from Disard to Steppenwolf is likely to be a signal.

The signal that the Apocalypse is ready to officially start a war.

"And that Steppenwolf," Shen You asked, "did he say when he was coming?" ”

Bruno Manhedon gave him a strange look.

"In fact, I got the news that he had already arrived."
