American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

Chapter 33 My dad is a congressman!



"Really?"

Falcone responded without raising his head after hearing Jonathan's words.

"Mr. Lei Xiaogu is the same as always. Even if he sits in the alliance, he can know everything about the world.

The ghost has only appeared for one day, but he has already entered his sight. This is really admirable.

But Jonathan, you should know something about the ghost, right?"

After the voice fell, Falcone folded the document recording the cargo information in half and put it under the ashtray.

Then, he saw various photos of Downton from the second document.

While examining the various details of the photos, Falcone continued.

"You know, you've even come into contact with the Revenant before me.

When the Revenant went to the battlefield near the bus station for the third time yesterday, wasn't it your car that sent him?

Because of this news, I initially thought that the Revenant was Mr. Lei Xiaogu's secret weapon or a proud disciple, but I didn't expect that the Revenant had nothing to do with the Alliance.

This makes me feel surprised. After all, the ability of the Revenant and the legend of the Assassin's League... are too close!"

Falcone put down the documents and glanced at Jonathan.

Facing Falcone's gaze, Jonathan raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and then showed a gentle smile.

"It seems that Mr. Falcone is also full of curiosity about the Revenant."

"No, not curiosity about the Revenant, but curiosity about Mr. Lei Xiaogu!"

Falcone interrupted Jonathan.

"Tell Mr. Lei Xiaogu that I am looking forward to meeting him, because I am very curious about how he will tame such a troublesome beast as the Revenant.

You are a doctor at Arkham Asylum and a professor of psychology at Gotham University. You should be able to understand how troublesome he is, as you have seen the Revenant in person."

"Indeed."

Jonathan nodded gently.

"When I first met him, I just thought he was one of the countless crazy guests in Gotham.

When night falls, bastards like Downton who ignore life and death always linger among women and drugs, causing one meaningless mess after another.

But it turns out that he is far beyond my imagination. I might as well tell you that he may even exceed Mr. Lei Xiaogu's imagination.

Because the moment Mr. Lei Xiaogu received the information about the Revenant, he made the decision to rush to Gotham.

In short, Falcone, please be ready to meet with Mr. Lei Xiaogu at any time."

At this point, Jonathan closed the suitcase and stood up from the sofa.

After bowing again, he turned and left Falcone's garden. After he left, Falcone sighed softly.

Once a power like Downton is clearly displayed to the world, the world will respond to him at an astonishing speed.

In front of him are only Lei Xiaogu and the Assassin's League. As for the future...

Falcone couldn't help shaking his head.

Does he really have a chance to get a share of Downton?

Just as Falcone was thinking this, a graceful beauty walked out of the corridor leading to the mansion from the garden.

Ignoring Falcone's slightly blaming eyes, the woman came straight behind Falcone and gently massaged Falcone's shoulders.

Feeling the woman's movements, Falcone frowned.

"I seem to have said that you should wait for me in the study, Sofia."

"But father, we haven't seen each other for three years. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Sophia acted like a spoiled child, then bent down and put her face close to Falcone.

Even so, Falcone still shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Miss me? That's an excuse, not a reason.

Sophia, do you want me to think you're eavesdropping on my conversation with the guests?"

"How could I do that, Dad? I'm not interested in the family business.

You know that my design brand is making a lot of money, especially the one-piece wide-leg pants I designed myself, which is the one I'm wearing.

My brand is sold out, Dad!"

After Sofia responded, she put her hand on Falcone's forehead and gently massaged his head.

Feeling his daughter's movements, Falcone closed his eyes in cooperation, and Sofia's eyes were instantly fixed on the photo of Downton.

While examining Downton in the photo, Sofia continued to act coquettishly to Falcone.

"Dad, you promised me that if I can do my clothing brand well, you will invest 200 million to make a fashion movie for me.

Now my brand has improved a little, shouldn't you implement the investment you promised me for the movie?"

"Invest?"

Hearing this, Falcone raised his eyes and glanced at Sofia.

Facing Falcone's gaze, Sofia stuck out her tongue and laughed playfully.

Seeing this, Falcone let out a sigh of helplessness.

"The money promised to you will be transferred to your company's account next week, but before that, I want to ask you, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-seven, Dad, you can't even remember my age!" Sofia rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"I know how old you are, but I hope you don't forget that you are already 27!

Even though this age is not considered old in the so-called socialite circle, you are not a pure socialite.

Believe me, don't just look at their glamour. In some ways, you are much better than them. Don't demand that you live like them!"

"So, Dad, are you going to introduce a man to me?

Who is your target, him? An Asian?

Although he looks handsome, his dressing style is really tacky. Does he always like to wear this kind of ripped suit? "

Sophia retorted while naturally pulling over Downton's file and pointing at Downton in the photo and said to Falcone.

Falcone acquiesced to Sofia's action of taking the information, and then nodded slightly to Sofia.

"Take his information and find a way to meet him. I won't force my daughter to make any so-called sacrifices for the family, but I still hope to see the sparks between you. "

After the voice fell, Falcone silently examined Sofia, and Sofia nodded happily.

"Sparks, huh? Although I'm not good at this, I will try my best.

Because dad, you won't lie to me, and the one you recommend to me must be the most suitable for me.

But compared to me, Selena should be better at seducing men, right?

If she doesn't like women, then she has the blood to seduce men, why not let her..."

"Shut up and get out."

Falcone suddenly interrupted Sofia, then raised his hand to let Sofia leave the garden.

Seeing this, Sofia shrugged and left with the information about Downton.

Looking at Sofia's back, Falcone squinted tiredly.

Even if he had a brilliant life, few of his children could satisfy him.

However, Falcone thought about it and realized that although Sofia was not a worry, she was at least much better than the daughter of Councillor Lawrence.

Look at the news last night. Now everyone in Gotham knows that there is a brainless person in the Lawrence family. The daughter of a bitch.

Thinking of this, Falcone let out a long breath and continued to read today's Gotham Gazette.

As for the daughter of Congressman Lawrence who he just mentioned...

At this moment, Lawrence's family.

Because he was thinking about something, Heino got up before eight o'clock, holding his mobile phone and walking around the living room.

In front of the TV, Congressman Lawrence shook the newspaper helplessly.

"Heino, if you really like walking, go to the treadmill next door and don't walk back and forth in the living room like a sweeping robot!"

"I know, I know, you are so annoying! "

Hino ran back to the bedroom with his phone in dissatisfaction, and continued to wait anxiously for Downton's call.

Since receiving the news that the police did not catch Downton, Heino couldn't wait to meet Downton.

She is Downton's little fan girl, she wants to be Downton's criminal assistant, she wants to go along with Downton, because she enjoys the excitement of crime too much!

But... why didn't Downton call her!

After waiting until after nine o'clock, Heino finally couldn't help it.

"If you don't call me, then I can only call you!"

After talking to himself to encourage himself, Heino bravely dialed Downton's number.

At the same time, in the town of Smallwell on the outskirts of the metropolis.

Louise, who was sitting in a coffee shop, was shocked.

"He... He really called!!!"

While exclaiming, Louise showed the phone to her father beside her.

Hearing this, General Ryan nodded calmly.

"Don't worry, he can't hurt you at all!"

"Then I'll answer it. "

Louise nodded and answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Louise, Downton... Are you really going to come to the Metropolis to see me, but I'm on an interview mission in Smallville, I..."

"Wait, why is it a woman's voice? Louise? Who the hell are you? Why is Downton's phone in your hand?

That's the phone I gave him, and even the number was chosen by me personally for him!"

Hai Nuo was directly irritated by Louise's voice. She simply put the microphone to her mouth and yelled at Louise, who was confused on the other side of the phone.

"Louise, you're dead, my father is a Gotham councilman, my mother is the deputy minister of defense, I tell you you're dead!

You are in Smallville now, right? Wait for me, I will kill you with my own hands, with my own hands!!! ”

My mentality is fine, I won’t collapse that easily. Although I’m running naked this week, there is still a glimmer of hope next week!

Please continue to read, let’s work together to let Downton at least have a test run!
