American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Page 1213

Xu Fu spread his hands: "The Konoha Project is a conspiracy by Lex Luthor. The president and Superman who attended the press conference are clones. We know that, and they know that too. The reason it wasn't canceled is partly because the plan has merits. Of course, the most important thing is that it's a face."

"...Clark, you are the one who needs to save face. If you disagree, the White House will lose face and become a laughing stock for many countries. If you agree, you will have a basis for negotiation."

Louise understood. Looking at Xu Fu, she couldn't help but frown: This guy's mind is getting smarter and smarter, and his thoughts are becoming more and more delicate.

Clark carefully considered his suggestion, and after much deliberation, he shook his head.

“I can’t make this decision alone. Diane, Ron, and Barry have the right to know.”

Xu Fu smiled. "It seems you agree."

Clark smiled wryly and said, "Your idea is too crazy. I don't even know what to think."

"Then let the group decide."

Xu Fu took out his phone and contacted everyone. A few seconds later, Barry appeared at the door, followed by the Mars Hunter who had come all the way from Colorado. It took a few minutes.

Diana was the last one. Today, she is a completely different person: tall boots, a gray coat, and a tightly cinched waist that makes her look even more slender and graceful. She wears light makeup, and her fair face and pale red lips complement each other. She has lost some of her heroic spirit and gained more of her charming and virtuous appearance.

Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at her, then immediately looked away: Usually, there's only one reason why women pay so much attention to makeup and dressing up—of course, it's because of men, but women do too.

Who is this guy?

His gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on him.

Xu Fu's lips twitched; he truly regretted what had happened that night. Carol and Linda were already a headache enough, but with Diana added to the mix, who knew what would become of them?

He didn't want to be beaten to a pulp by an angry girl.

Louise, being a woman herself, felt that Diana had become a different person and couldn't help but praise her.

You look beautiful today, and your skin is gorgeous.

Diana smiled and said, "The effects of the treatment will take a long time to fully recover." After saying this, she looked around the room: "Where's Linda? I can't find her."

Chapter 1482 Unpredictable

As she said this, Diana's gaze naturally fell on Xu Fu. Although her expression was calm and showed no signs of anything amiss, Xu Fu's eyes began to wander.

"She's away on a business trip and won't be back for a while."

travel?

Do Kryptonians need to travel?

Diana, of course, did not believe this explanation. Recalling that night, she felt inexplicably weak: Could it be that Linda had found out about her and Xu Fu and decided to run away from home in a fit of anger?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and instinctively shifted their gaze away from each other.

Now that everyone was gathered and ready to begin work, Louise spoke first.

"Xu Fu, it's either you or me."

"You do it!"

Louise nodded and recounted the conversation that had just taken place, as well as the various illusions related to the Justice League, without missing any details.

After the narrative concluded, Clark made a final addition, namely...

"This issue should not be decided by one person, but should attract the attention of everyone."

Barry couldn't help but ask, "Can the White House reach an agreement on this?"

Xu Fu smiled and said, "They don't have many choices, and besides, I have other bargaining chips." He didn't say what those chips were, and no one bothered to ask.

Lang En fell into deep thought for a while before speaking.

“Establishing the Justice League is necessary, but I do not recommend opening it to the public, as this will only bring trouble or even unnecessary conflict.”

Diana agreed and was about to speak, but she glanced at Xu Fu and chose to remain silent.

Xu Fu was not surprised by Ron's answer: Of the people present, apart from Barry Allen and Louise who were of pure blood, the others all had ancestors.

Ron is a Martian, Diana is an Amazonian, and Clark is a Kryptonian. Their different identities make them naturally wary of human society.

"Barry, what do you think?"

The Flash hesitated for a moment when his name was called.

"I also think it's best not to make it public."

When four out of the five people agreed to keep it private, Xu Fu immediately laughed and said, "Looks like I'll have to go to the White House."

"What are you doing there?"

"The president owes me a favor, which is exactly the repayment I need. I will persuade him to change Konoha's plans and exclude Clark."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the group changed immediately. Xu Fu's words were simple, but in practice they were extremely complicated. As one of the most powerful people in the world, the decision made by the President of the United States was almost impossible to change unless you offered a large enough bargaining chip.

Of course, they wouldn't have guessed that the current president was just someone who looked like Xu Fu.

Clark felt an indescribable surge of gratitude welling up in his chest.

Louise roared.

"Thank you, Xu Fu, thank you for your help."

"This is just a political deal, there's no need to be so polite. We're just discussing the Justice League and where you think it would be a good idea to establish a base."

Time passed slowly, and the group engaged in extensive discussions about the alliance, with each person offering different perspectives. This continued until late at night, until the initial proposal was finally accepted.

It was late when Clark and Louise returned home, and Barry and Ron got up to say goodbye.

The atmosphere became strange.

The huge room was now empty except for a man and a woman, just like that night at the lakeside villa. Diana was still shaken, but she pretended to be strong and said...

"Your medicine is very effective, thank you very much."

That's how it should be.

Xu Fu picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then put it aside. Drinking at this time would only add fuel to the fire. Carol and Linda were already having enough of a headache, and he didn't want to create any more chaos.

They sat facing each other, but neither spoke; an awkward silence hung in the air. Xu Fu had been in relationships for many years, but this was his first.

Where do you live? I'll take you home.

"No, I live in Washington, I can fly back."

Xu Fu glanced at his watch: It was midnight, which was inappropriate for a woman who had traveled hundreds of miles to go home so late.

Why not stay overnight at my house?

Diana blushed, her thoughts surging like a tide.

"That's impractical."

There's nothing inappropriate about it.

Xu Fu smiled and said, "As for the armor and shield, I have a few sketches. I'm free tonight, so you can take a look."

Having said that, Diana couldn't refuse, so she left with Xu Fu. The restaurant owner was waiting in the lobby and hurriedly came to greet them when he saw them.

"Mr. Xiao, how do you like today's dishes? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, please point it out, and we'll definitely do a better job."

"Great! It's been a long time since I've had such authentic Cantonese food."

The boss gave a thumbs up: "You're a real expert. We invited two famous chefs from Guangdong to cook just for you. We wanted to give you a surprise, but you tasted the flavor right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the side and saw that almost perfect face. He was stunned for two seconds: What a beautiful woman. In his more than forty years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful and elegant woman.

"Mr. Xiao, is the woman beside you your mistress?"

Xu Fu waved his hand irritably.

Don't misunderstand, this is my friend.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

The restaurant owner apologized, but Diane didn't say anything more. She left the restaurant with Xu Fu. Instead of flying away, they drove back to Lakeview Manor.

As she walked along, listening to the wind outside the window, Diane thought about how, after Steve Trevor's death, there was no one else by her side.

Due to her unique personality, Diana changed countries, cities, and workplaces every ten years. This lifestyle lasted for nearly a century. She had become accustomed to solitude. Although she sometimes felt lonely, after living on Paradise Island for a thousand years, it was no longer a big deal for her.

But the tranquility of the lake was finally broken.

Diana turned around and looked at Xu Fu standing beside her. His deep green eyes shone with a profound light in the moonlight, like gems that had weathered many storms.

Xu Fu coughed and asked, "What's on my face?"

"No"

Diana turned her head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"You and Linda had a fight."

Xu Fu: ""

"She found out what happened that night, didn't she?"

"No, no, don't think about it that way. We didn't have a fight. She just needs to leave for a while for some reason."

You are lying.

Damn it, how did you know?
