Chapter 1239: The Farm of Justice (Twenty-One)
On the streets of the seaside city, Hal walked quickly in front, Lucifer and Schiller followed behind. Hal suddenly stopped, stood still, turned around and spread his hands, and said to the two people behind him: 巁
"I really can't stand you! How can there be such picky people in this world, and two of them?"
"How can your words be so vicious?"
Hal pointed his arm to the side and said: "Aren't the conditions of the shops on the street next door good enough? The place is big, the decoration is new, the rent is very good, and you can bargain. , but you think the layout is not good, the traffic line is too long, and you insist that it is a well-decorated large intestine! "
"Okay, then I will find a shallower one. Isn't the layout of the store on 30th Street good enough? But you complain that the window is not facing the right direction and the lighting is not good. Isn't it just a little dark? Do you really want to say that it is a vampire affordable housing?"
"I beg you! Stop torturing me, okay?" Hal yelled: "You, go back to Los Angeles and spend your whole life guarding your shabby bar. You, go back to Gotham to teach and embarrass your students. "Sir, don't come to me!"
After saying that, Hal turned around and left. Lucifer immediately strode up to Hal and held him, explaining: "We both drank a little last night, and our heads were a little dizzy, especially him. Isn't Schiller's style of speaking always like this? Don't mind it too much."
"How dare you say that?!" Hal shook off Lucifer's hand and was furious when he saw Schiller walking slowly behind him. He said: "Seaside City is different from Gotham. The citizens here are very nice. You You can't treat them with your vicious style of speaking, they are not criminals! You will make it impossible for me to survive in this city! "
Finally, Schiller came over and sighed softly, then said: "I know you may not survive, but don't fail to survive first, find a good house first."
Hal rolled his eyes at him, he stood there and took a few deep breaths, in fact, he knew that Schiller was used to being unforgiving, and knew that he had some problems of scholars and writers, and he was picky about words, but it has always been distance that creates beauty.
In this world, those who can tolerate being with Schiller for a long time and at close range are all ruthless people. The last ruthless person was called Batman, and he can do it because he is Batman, but Green Lantern can't.
Hal stroked his chest with his hand, trying to recall Oliver's words praising Schiller. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay at my house for a few more days, and then look for a house."
Two hours later, in front of Hal's house, Schiller and Lucifer were thrown out with their luggage. Lucifer turned to Schiller and said, "Can't you just pretend you don't have a mouth for a while?"
"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you say that vampires should have affordable housing? Don't think of putting the blame on me." Schiller lowered his head to zip up the suitcase, then walked out with the suitcase.巁
"Where are you going?" Lucifer asked after him, and then he said a little aggrievedly: "I'm not wrong. Many vampires who don't have a castle will rent a house with poor lighting to store coffins. I saw Cain when I lived in the Garden of Eden..."
"I am an adult with self-care ability, not an angel baby who has not been weaned for tens of thousands of years. I want to find a house to rent and live there, and then find a class... Don't follow me, the first house looks more like a large intestine because of you."
Schiller looked disgusted, picked up the suitcase and left, the road Sifa put his hands on his hips, very angry, but then he caught up with Schiller and said, "Seaside City is not Gotham. It is not developed enough. There are not so many single apartments. If you want to rent, you can only rent the whole apartment. I think we can rent together, so we can save some rent."
Schiller turned his head and looked up and down at Lucifer, and said, "Is it because the single apartment doesn't allow you to bring girls back? Get lost."
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know anyone here. Hal and Arthur are also your friends. I can only rely on you." Lucifer blocked Schiller and walked backwards facing him.
Schiller stood there and sighed. He looked at the skyline. Without Hal driving, this place was really far from the city. Looking at the long country road, he had a headache.
Just as he was thinking, Lucifer sneaked around behind him. In an instant, the huge white wings spread out, and a pair of hands grabbed Schiller's waist. "Whoosh", he took off into the air.巁
Lucifer grabbed Schiller, and Schiller grabbed his suitcase, and flew slowly along the coastline. During the flight, Lucifer said, "You should really share a house with me. This is a wonderful way to commute, right?"
Schiller held his suitcase expressionlessly, looking at the sparkling sea below. He felt a little nauseous and gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you fly a little to the left? I'm seasick."
"But now we are in the sky."
"Not with the sea!"
Lucifer's eyes turned, and suddenly his wings tilted to the right. He shouted, "Oh! Great natural force! The summer wind from the Pacific is invading this city, and the gods are humbled and the angels are crying..."
"Shut up! Lucifer! You did it on purpose! Turn back!"
"You can't say that about a strong petrel that is fighting the power of nature! I am fighting against the power of nature!"巁
"Can't you fly faster?!"
Half an hour later, in the alley of the seaside city, Schiller leaned against the wall and retched. Lucifer looked at him in surprise and said, "No way, your seasickness is really that serious. You haven't even touched the sea..."
Schiller took a deep breath and turned into gray mist with a "bang". After the gray mist adjusted the various states of his body, he let out a long breath, then squinted his eyes and stared at Lucifer, saying, "What's wrong with you? Why do you have to pester me?"
Lucifer showed a slightly shy smile, rubbed his hands, looked at Schiller expectantly and said, "It's like this, you are my Pope, right? Now, the god you believe in has a great cause, and I hope you can participate..."
"Speak human language."
"Can you invest in my bar?" Lucifer blinked and said, Schiller widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Lucifer spread his hands helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you? My bar has been in a state of loss for many years, and I sold it at a loss. Now I don't have much liquidity. I can't just print money directly, right?"巁
"You can't even pay one year's rent?"
"That's not the case. It's just that I want to renovate it on a large scale. It's better to buy the house, otherwise the landlord will make trouble for me, but the house price in Seaside City is really a bit..."
Schiller turned and left, and Lucifer followed him. Schiller turned several corners and couldn't get rid of him. Finally, Schiller stood in the middle of the road and looked at Lucifer and said, "If I don't join, are you going to follow me like this?"
Lucifer nodded very seriously, then began to count on his fingers and said, "This is a very secure investment. We can split all the profits from the operation in half..."
Schiller covered half of his face with one hand, shook his head vigorously, and stretched out a hand He stopped Lucifer and said, "I don't have money."
Lucifer showed an expression of disbelief, but Schiller changed his tone and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find a rich guy to talk to you."
After saying that, Schiller was stunned for a moment, and the next second he showed a bright smile. Lucifer paused, took two steps back, looked at Schiller again, and asked tentatively, "... Greed?"巁
Schiller walked up to Lucifer enthusiastically and shook hands with him vigorously, and even extended a hand very politely and said, "Please go first, let's find a place to talk in detail."
"About the bar investment..."
"It's easy to talk. Where is the house you like? Let's go and buy it now, and then buy another house to live in. Of course, we can live together, and you don't have to pay rent."
A few hours later, Lucifer sat in a convertible luxury car, looking at the stack of house transaction contracts in his hand with some disbelief.
Schiller turned the steering wheel, put his hands outside the car, took a puff of cigar, and then said, "How is it? The house is not bad, I am different from that old-fashioned guy, if I have 1 million, I am willing to spend 990,000 on my friends."
Lucifer looked at him with some emotion, but the next second he felt a little confused, so he asked, "Where did you get so much money? Did you earn it in another world?"
"Of course not, that world has already been electronic deposits, and banknotes are not universal. I am not interested in bringing precious metals here. It is too troublesome to convert them into money one by one. It is better to earn it directly in this world."巁
"How do you make so much money?"
Schiller took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped on the West Coast Highway. His smiling tone disappeared in the wind.
"I just pointed out the way for a lost lamb."
In the top-floor office of Wayne Group, Thomas sat on the sofa with a deep frown, thinking. Opposite him sat a man and a woman. They were the heads of the industrial department of Wayne Group and the confidants who followed Thomas Wayne to control Wayne Group.
"Logically speaking, there is no reason for Abers, the old fox who is always hungry, to reject our conditions." The female president spoke first: "We have left him enough profit margins. Who can refuse such a large amount of income every year?"
The male manager also spoke up: "Albers should understand that he will have more room for negotiation if he cooperates with us than with those military-industrial complexes. Why wouldn't he be tempted?"
"That's the problem." Thomas tapped the table lightly with his hand and said: "Albers rejected us, but his logic of refusal is very abnormal. He should not have been able to refuse. Even if he didn't look at the profit, he had to consider the status of the Wayne Group."巁
"But now that he has refused, it means that he has such confidence. Then who gave him such confidence?"
The female president slowly opened her eyes wide, she immediately stood up, and then said to the other two people: "Sorry, I'm going out to make a phone call."
After saying that, she walked out quickly. In less than three minutes, she came back and said with a serious face: "Lieutenant Colonel Stuart said that it is not normal for Abers to be promoted to general. They don't have such capital. His competitors are stronger and more powerful than him."
"For so many years, Abers has not been an important figure in the military. He is so old. How can he still have such a promotion opportunity?"
Thomas snorted coldly and said, "Why else? He has a new backer. The relationship maintained by those military-industrial complexes in the military has long been stable. There is no need to pick up another Abers as a burden."
"If Abers has a new backer, it means that a new force has set its sights on this piece of cake."
Hearing this, the male manager was suddenly stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and said: "The Mexican incident broke out last year, and this year's military expenditure has increased by exactly 50%... Someone has taken action , faster than us!"巁
Thomas tapped the table lightly, stood up, walked to the French window overlooking the city, and said:
"There are not many people with such ability, ambition and long-term vision..."
The white-haired group leader frowned slightly, and the downward corners of his mouth and the strong muscles of his lips made him look like an angry lion. Soon, he uttered a name in a low voice:
"Luther."
In the high-end restaurant in the center of the coastal city, Lucifer looked at Schiller in a daze and said:
"So, you let your godson fund the Mexican rebels, deceive Congress to pass the "Neighboring Security Act", and then embezzle the rising military spending? ? ! ! ! "
Schiller still had a smile on his face, but his gaze on Lucifer became more and more fiery. In Lucifer's increasingly stiff gaze, Schiller nodded and said: Generally speaking, it is like this. ”巁
Then, he stared at Lucifer with burning eyes and said:
"I heard that Lord Lucifer Morningstar once launched a war of fallen angels between heaven and hell. The so-called revenge of ten lives can still be avenged, but if this revenge is not avenged, it is not a gentleman..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Do you want to start a second war?"
Lucifer was completely stiff like a statue, but Schiller's expression was fanatical and he spoke quickly:
"You are the Satan of hell. As long as you declare the war of fallen angels, the devil of hell must pay you food and grass for your sake and express his support for your revenge. Those who are unwilling are all rebels and will be killed directly and their property confiscated."
"You declare war, and heaven must prepare for war. It happens that I am also an angel. I think I have some expertise in finance. I am willing to recommend myself to become the general logistics person in charge of heaven in the second war of fallen angels, and ensure that the logistics arrangements are clear. "巁
"Once the two sides start fighting, it will inevitably affect a wide range of people. Based on the principle of putting justice first, I am willing to take on the responsibility of comforting the devastated parties and cleaning up and restoring the land after the war."
"The war situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and the casualties are increasing. As a pacifist, I must be heartbroken and determined not to sit idly by and watch the three realms fall into chaos. Guilt makes me unable to sleep all night, and I have to pray to God."
"God certainly does not want to sit idly by and watch his children bleed into rivers. I can deeply understand the dilemma of a father and a king. I will act as a mediator in this war even if I bleed Xuanyuan. ”
“At that time, if Hell prevails, you will ask for a huge compensation, and we will split it in half. If Heaven prevails, I will instigate Michael to ask for a huge compensation, and you will go back to Hell and accuse those demons of fighting poorly, and ask for a huge compensation. After the compensation reaches Heaven, we will split it in half…”
A few dozen seconds later, a blond man in a suit rushed out of the door of a high-end restaurant in a panic, rushed to the side of the road, quickly stopped a taxi, opened the door and got in.
“Hello, sir, where are you going?”
“Anywhere is fine, run!!!”
