Amanda's pupils shrank to the size of pinheads. This is a top secret of the Sky Eye Association. How did he know that?
Xu Fu leaned forward, like a fox cornering its prey: "Isn't it amazing? Actually, I know much more, such as the relationship between the Sky Eye Association and the President, and how you used the President's name to secretly collect evidence of his crimes. I must say, you did a great job!"
Amanda was terrified and instinctively reached out to touch her buttocks.
Xu Fu raised his hand and continued to press, "Calm down, ma'am. That's just my speculation. There's no evidence. How can you take it seriously without evidence? You wouldn't think that way."
At this point, Amanda had no choice but to force herself to calm down, no matter how terrified she was.
"Xu Fu? Xiao, what do you need?"
Xu Fu pointed to the floor.
Apologize to me for what you just did.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Amanda stepped forward, bowed deeply, and then...
"I am very sorry, Mr. Xiao, I sincerely apologize for my previous inappropriate remarks."
I accept your apology.
Xu Fu's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled, "Come back, we can renegotiate."
Amanda gritted her teeth, her right hand clenched so tightly that her fingertips dug deep into her flesh, but even so, her expression remained unchanged, and she remained calm and composed.
Seeing her like this, Xu Fu couldn't help but cheer: She truly lives up to her reputation as Waller's infamous demon king in the DC world. She can endure such humiliation without changing her expression. She really can withstand it.
Everything returned to normal, but the nature of the relationship had changed. Amanda knew very well that since it was over, there was nothing to hide.
"Mr. Xiao, I've come to see you about a potential collaboration."
"cooperate?"
"Yes, we can cooperate with the Sky Eye Society. If you and Ms. Ferris are interested, you can join the Sky Eye Society and become one of its founding members."
"I, His Excellency the Vice President, and other officials extend our warmest welcome to you."
I hope you will seriously consider my proposal.
Amanda's tone was sincere. Xu Fu remained unusually silent, exhaling a smoke ring as he reflected on the situation. Amanda didn't urge him; she believed that a clever and cunning man like Xu Fu-Xiao would make the right choice.
Chapter 1049 Difficult Negotiations!
An eye will appear in the sky!
If you join, it's a great option, meaning the FBI and the police will never cause trouble, and the Young Masters will become a "legitimate" society—these are just the main benefits.
The benefits of SkyEye will be beyond imagination, because it is the "S.H.I.E.L.D." of the DC universe. Although it is much smaller in scale and scope than S.H.I.E.L.D., it is undeniable that it has a considerable degree of decision-making autonomy, relying on the backing of the governments and military of the two major powers.
In addition, Xu Fu's companies, such as SHOW, Bluebird, and Tesla, have been able to enjoy special care from the government. They even signed large contracts with the military at the beginning of their establishment, laying a solid foundation for future development.
This was an enticing offer to Xu Fu, Hengette, Ferris Airlines, and even "friends" like Emily Song, promising immeasurable benefits.
Of course, this has both good and bad aspects.
Tianyan is an official organization, making it almost impossible to join. However, it is also controlled by the government and military to some extent, and engages in some inappropriate "private work" for society. If Tianyan is disbanded for some reason or instigated by a powerful enemy, Xu Fu, as one of its members, would inevitably be implicated.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!
"It was a tough choice."
Xu Fu rested his chin on his hand, thinking for a long time. It wasn't until after nine o'clock that he slowly spoke.
"I must admit your proposal is tempting, but cooperation cannot be based on superficial interests. I need to know what kind of organization FAST will be, and what its original purpose was?"
Amanda smiled and said, "It seems you have made your choice."
"I was just wondering, if the Sky Eye Association is just a loose organization formed on a whim by some big shots, then will the final answer depend on the fate of the Sky Eye Association...?"
Xu Fu shrugged: There's still time.
Amanda said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiao, I can tell you clearly that the Sky Eye Society is by no means a second-rate organization. It is a special organization established by a group of people who are eager to protect the country and the earth. It has a specific mission, and its existence is to ensure the country's stable and normal development and prevent it from being destroyed by accident."
Xu Fu said gruffly, "Can you explain what the word 'accident' means?"
“Superman, aliens, terrorist organizations…” He paused, his expression solemn, “Urban vigilantes!”
The last four words made Xu Fu frown heavily: the town's sheriff is also a superhero, such as Superman and Batman, and SHOW is the superheroes' headquarters. In the future, it is destined to acquire many superheroes' social media accounts and become their daily platform for speaking.
In some ways, social media platforms are no different from trackers: once a user uploads a photo, Xu Fu can locate them via satellite the next second.
After joining the Sky Eye Association, SHOW will likely become a tool for surveillance.
"Ms. Waller, I think we don't need to talk anymore."
Xu Fu took a puff of his cigar, then got up and left. The resources offered by the Sky Eye Association were excellent and tempting, but he preferred being a human being to being a dog, especially a dog of the American government.
Please wait
Amanda stood up and stopped in front of Xu Fu: "Mr. Xiao, I think you've misunderstood something. The Sky Eye Organization is not against superheroes. Our existence is precisely to prevent the emergence of superheroes."
"prevention?"
"Yes"
Amanda nodded solemnly and gestured for a chair. Xu Fu thought for a few seconds and then sat back down: "Then I'll listen to your so-called preventative measures."
Amanda took a deep breath: she had done her best to make the connection, not only for the show, but also for the qualities that Xu Fu himself had demonstrated.
As the head of a gang in the coastal city, he adopted a tough approach and established rules: no drug trafficking, no smuggling, no bullying the weak, and no forcing women into prostitution. He only operated gray-market businesses such as casinos, nightclubs, and docks. This shows that he is a person with an ultimate goal, and it is especially important that someone who can achieve their goal can also abide by the rules.
After all, "Sky Eye" is a government organization, and if they recruit everyone they can, they will eventually become a lawless terrorist organization, which is not what Amanda wants, nor does the Vice President and the other elders want.
Members must be vetted, and some abuses of power must be tolerated, but the final outcome must be upheld and the original intentions must be protected. In this regard, Xu Fu-Xiao is not a good choice.
He was intelligent, strong, cunning, and cold-blooded...
Although she sometimes appears ruthless in achieving her goals, Amanda sees this as a good thing, because only someone like her can win in the fight against aliens, superpowers, and terrorist organizations.
Amanda composed herself and continued.
"What do you think will happen to the town's security?"
Xu Fu dismissively said, "This is a sign of government incompetence."
"why?"
"If the government, police, and FBI each do their job and keep crime rates in major cities at the same level instead of jumping year after year, there will be no breeding ground for law enforcement associations. In the end, it's still your problem."
Amanda was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You're being too one-sided. Some cases aren't caused by money or sex, but by the criminals' own desire to commit crimes."
With the rise of superpower cults, the number of these individuals is increasing, and the damage they cause is beyond the control of the government.
Xu Fu shrugged: "That's the role of superheroes; they can solve problems you can't."
No, their very existence is a problem.
Before joining the "Sky Eye Society," I served in an anti-terrorism unit called the "Seventh Squad." The successive sacrifices of my comrades made me realize that when disaster strikes, it doesn't ask if you are prepared. If you do nothing, you can only close your eyes and wait to die.
"Today's vigilantes are superheroes who fight crime and protect society. Who can guarantee that they won't have other ideas tomorrow? Besides, the existence of conventional weapons like Superman, Electro, and Purple Lady is unstoppable. Once they have anti-human or anti-social thoughts, or their minds are dominated by evil, it will be a catastrophe that affects all mankind."
"The Sky Eye Association was created to prevent such incidents from happening and to respond effectively in the event of a disaster."
Xu Fu remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What are the principles?"
"Different people, different methods: an ordinary vigilante like Batman, who has no superpowers, will not get involved unless he breaks the law, but Superman and your girlfriend in purple are a different story."
"How exactly do we do it?"
"An appropriate level of surveillance, an appropriate level of knowledge, and a no-holds-barred plan for the worst-case scenario."
Chapter 1050 Conditions of Cooperation
Amanda Waller may not be conventionally beautiful as a woman, but her abilities are undeniable.
She is an excellent negotiator who can read her opponent's mind. After noticing the "intimate" relationship between Xu Fu and Carol, she immediately raised Violet's threat level to superhuman.
This is both lobbying and a threat.
Xu Fu laughed: "I think I have no choice. If I don't agree, Carroll will become your punching target, won't he?"
“Mr. Xiao, please understand what I mean correctly. The purpose of the Sky Eye Society is prevention, not eradication. The emergency plan will only be activated when the situation deteriorates significantly.” He paused and continued.
"Conflicts with superheroes will only make dangerous elements lurking in the dark corners cheaper, and may even cause a major disaster. This is something we do not want to see, and it is not in line with the original intention of the Sky Eye Association."
Amanda spoke with unusual sincerity, her hands resting on the table.
"I will tell you everything I can. I sincerely hope you will consider my proposal, join the Sky Eye Association, become one of the founding members, and contribute to the future of humanity."
11 Xu Fu rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought, while Amanda gazed ahead expectantly.
Xu Fu remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"Madam, you are an excellent persuader, and I can feel your sincerity. But that's not enough. I need to know if you are worth investing in. Here's what I've come up with: I've recently encountered a tricky case. If you help me solve it, I will join the Sky Eye Club and give you a gift."
Amanda had been waiting for those words for a long time, but they never came. Without hesitation, she reached out her hand and said...
"bring it on"
"I have a friend who lost half her head in an accident. I want to bring her back to life. Can you do that?"
