Chapter 42 Good Luck



On the other hand, in the cafe of Smallville Town, outside the metropolis.

General Ryan looked at his daughter's hung-up phone with a confused face.

Facing the confused face of her old father, Louise swallowed her saliva and handed over the hung-up phone.

"The call just now... should be from Miss Heino Lawrence, who was kidnapped by Downton last night.

She looks... like she has... Stockholm syndrome?"

"Fuck Stockholm, you don't have to excuse her!

It's not like I don't understand Stockholm syndrome. That thing at least needs enough communication to be promoted, but Heino was kidnapped last night for less than an hour!

In just one hour, what can they communicate? This Heino has no brains at all, or she is completely crazy!"

General Ryan interrupted Louise unhappily, and then rubbed his beard depressedly.

"However, Heino's mother is indeed a figure, and Michelle Lawrence has a great influence in the Department of Defense.

The position of Deputy Secretary of Defense is the limit for women, and the United States has not had a female Secretary of Defense so far.

But, if there is any woman who is most likely to become the first female Secretary of Defense in the United States, Heino's mother Michelle is probably the one with the best chance!"

At this point, General Ryan's face became a little ugly.

Noticing her father's face, Louise frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Can Heino's opinion affect her mother? Can she cause you trouble, father?"

"Of course she can't. I'm not afraid of a little brat like Heino. Even if Michelle does something to me, she can't do much.

It's just that Michelle holds the funds of the Army Department for the next two years, which makes me passive."

General Ryan exhaled depressedly, and then called the guards not far away.

"Continue to control the entrances and exits of Smallville, and focus on the vehicles that may be Heino Lawrence.

Once Heino Lawrence appears, use tranquilizer bullets on him immediately. Those things are not just for Downton!

I don't intend to provoke the Lawrence family, but the Lawrence family has no reason to provoke me. By controlling Heino, I have solved a problem for Deputy Minister Michel!"

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers brought by General Ryan acted quickly and slowly spread throughout the town.

Just as the soldiers began to act, Louise's phone suddenly rang again!

Noticing the vibration of the phone, General Ryan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly returned the phone to Louise.

At the same time, in Gotham City, on the Robert H. Kane Memorial Bridge.

Downton's phone rang.

After answering it casually, Downton asked with a smile.

"Liv, what do you want to talk to me about? If you want to change my mood, you have to take off your clothes and call me on video!"

"Donton~"

Liv said to Donton in a wiry tone on the other side of the phone.

"Zasz has my people around him, and they said you have dealt with Yuri, so I paid attention to your positioning data.

Forgive me, you asked to install the locator yourself, and I couldn't help looking at you again and again.

Anyway, you are going to Metropolis, right? I see you have already walked to the Kane Memorial Bridge.

If so, then I must remind you that the reporter Louise you are going to meet has a father who is a powerful general in the army.

The point is, the general also mobilized the latest sonic weapons issued by the Army Department last night, and a considerable number of powerful anesthetic bullets. He even brought several virus weapons classified as confidential by the Ministry of Defense.

Guess who these toys are for. If I were you, I would say thank you at this time, dear!"

"Thank you, dear~"

Donton whistled with a smile, and then asked Liv.

"You are really well-informed. Did Falcone help you with the intelligence network?"

Listening to Downton's question, Liv in the Iceberg Club took a sip of wine and shook her head unconsciously.

At the same time, she responded to Downton on the phone.

"I have been working with Mr. Falcone for eight years. During these eight years, Falcone has only given me full trust.

Facts have proved that I am a very capable woman. When I have a Gotham City with a population of 30 million, I can do many incredible things with my wisdom and skills."

"Awesome, Liv. I admire you more and more."

Listening to Liv's self-praise, Downton cooperated to output emotional value.

Hearing this, Liv chuckled with satisfaction and then said the last word on the phone.

"It's good to have your appreciation, but I have one more thing to remind you. The man whose legs you just broke was an honorary policeman selected by Gotham two years ago.

This incident will make the police system of Gotham feel a sense of solidarity with you. When you meet the police again in the future, you may not be as harmonious as before."

"Haha!"

Liv's words made Donton laugh out loud, and he laughed and said.

"Racial discrimination can also be an honorary policeman. This bastard got the award by breaking the heads of people of color.

As for the police, when have I ever been harmonious with them? I wish they would be brave enough to kill me a few more times, and then I would have to thank them.

That's it, I'm about to cross the bridge. Is there any good barber shop in Metropolis that can recommend one to me? I have to get my hair done."

"I'll send you the location. Be careful, dear ghost boss~"

At this point, Liv hung up the phone and sent Downton a haircut location.

After Downton took a look at the location to Battle, he finally called reporter Louise.

After a while.

"Hello, this is Louise!"

"That's good, Louise. You fulfilled your promise and didn't give the phone to anyone else."

"Yes, I..."

"No need to say more, send me your location and I'll go see you while I'm changing my clothes and doing my hair."

Downton interrupted Louise, which made her even more nervous.

After she paused for a moment, she continued talking to the phone in a low voice.

"I understand, I will send you the location, but I am not in the metropolis. I have a temporary interview assignment..."

"etc!"

Suddenly, Downton interrupted Louise, and the phone between the two fell into silence.

On the other side of the phone, Louise's eyebrows were tangled, and she looked at her father questioningly.

General Lane was about to give instructions, but Downton spoke again at this moment!

"Even if you stay at the military base, I will definitely come as promised.

Therefore, there is no need to stress to me why you appear outside the metropolis. As long as some words are not spoken, the deception will not exist.

As for the rest, let’s talk about it when we meet. "

Having said this, Downton hung up the phone and then edited a text message to Louise.

The content of the text message is very simple, only one word.

"Location!"

After receiving the text message, Louise swallowed hard. She once again felt that there was something unusual about Downton.

So she took a deep breath and silently replied to Downton with a text message.

"Smallwell Town, Philharmonic Cafe, good luck to you!"

"Haha~"

Looking at Louise's text message, Downton smiled and said to Battle.

"This girl is so naive, she actually reminded me by wishing me good luck."

After finishing his words, Downton put the phone back in his pocket and continued to look at the metropolitan scene through the car window.

These two big cities are so close. How close are they?

Let's put it this way, when Batman lights up his batlight over Gotham at night, the citizens of Metropolis can also see it!
