On the streets of Seaside City, Hal walked quickly in front, with Lucifer and Schiller chasing after him. Hal suddenly stopped, stood still, turned around, spread his hands, and said to the two people behind him:
"I really can't stand you guys! How can there be such picky people, or two, in this world?"
"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 negotiate the price, but you think the apartment type is not good.
The moving line is too long, it must be said that it is a well-decorated large intestine!"
"Okay, then I'll find one with a shallower entrance. Is the floor plan of the shop on 30th Street good enough? But you also think that the windows are in the wrong direction and the lighting is not good. Isn't it just a little darker? What do you think?
Are they vampires for affordable housing?”
"I beg you! Stop torturing me, okay?" Hal yelled: "Go back to Los Angeles and spend the rest of your life guarding your shabby bar. Go back to Gotham to teach and embarrass your students.
, don’t come to me!”
After saying that, Hal turned around and left. Lucifer immediately strode up and grabbed Hal, explaining: "Both of us drank some wine last night, and our heads were a little dizzy, especially him, Schiller's speaking style
Isn’t it always like this? Don’t mind it too much.”
"You actually have the nerve to say that?!" Hal shook off Lucifer's hand and became furious when he saw Schiller walking forward unhurriedly behind him. He said:
"Beach City is different from Gotham. The citizens here are very nice. You can't treat them with your vicious speaking style. They are not criminals! You will make it impossible for me to survive in this city!"
Schiller, who finally came over, sighed softly, and then said: "I know you may not be able to survive, but don't worry about it until you find a good house."
"I am just pointing the way for a lost lamb."
"There are not many people with such ability, ambition and long-term vision..."
"God is definitely not willing to sit back and watch his children bleed into rivers. I can deeply understand the embarrassment of a father and a king, who has to act as a mediator in this war even if blood is spilled on Xuanyuan."
"How do you make so much money?"
A few hours later, Lucifer was sitting in a convertible luxury car, looking at the stack of house transaction contracts in his hand with some disbelief.
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?"
While turning the steering wheel, Schiller put his hands on the outside of the car, took a puff of his cigar, and then said: "How's it going? The house is not bad. I'm different from that arrogant old-fashioned guy. If I had 1 million, I would be willing to put some money in my house."
My friend spent 990,000."
"A fight between the two parties will inevitably have widespread consequences. Based on the principle of putting justice first, I am willing to assume the responsibility of appeasing the ravaged parties and clearing and restoring the post-war land."
"About bar investment..."
In the high-end restaurant in the center of the seaside city, Lucifer looked at Schiller dumbfounded and said:
"So, you let your godson fund the anti-government forces in Mexico, trick Congress into passing the Neighbor Security Act, and then embezzle the increased military spending??!!!"
Schiller turned his head and looked Lucifer up and down, and said, "Is it because the bachelor's apartment doesn't let you bring the girl back? Get out."
"Of course not. That world already has electronic deposits, and banknotes are not universal. I have no interest in bringing precious metals here. It would be too troublesome to exchange them for money one by one. It is better to make money directly in this world."
Lucifer spread his hands helplessly and said, "Didn't I tell you? My bar has been at a loss all year round, and I sold it at a loss. I don't have much liquidity now, so I can't just print money, right?"
Hal touched his chest with his hand and tried hard to recall what Oliver had said about Schiller. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay at my house for a few more days and then look for a house."
"I am an adult with the ability to take care of myself, 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, first
This house becomes more like a large intestine because of you."
Then, he stared at Lucifer with burning eyes and said:
"Logically speaking, there is no reason for Albers, that always-hungry old fox, to refuse our terms." The female president took the lead and said, "We have left him plenty of profit margins. Who can refuse such a large sum of money every year?"
?”
Lucifer showed a slightly shy smile, rubbed his hands, looked at Schiller expectantly and said, "That's it, you are my pope, right? Now, the god you believe in has a great thing.
cause, I hope you can participate..."
Just as he was thinking, Lucifer sneaked around behind him. In an instant, his huge white wings spread out, a pair of hands grabbed Schiller's waist, and with a "swish", he jumped into the air.
"Can you invest in my bar?" Lucifer said with a wink. Schiller's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise.
Schiller enthusiastically stepped forward and shook hands with Lucifer vigorously, and even extended a hand very politely and said: "Please come first, we will find a place to discuss in detail."
Half an hour later, in the alley of the seaside city, Schiller was holding on to the wall and retching. Lucifer looked at him a little surprised and said, "No, your seasickness is really so severe. You haven't even touched the sea..."
In the office on the top floor of Wayne Group, Thomas frowned deeply and sat on the sofa thinking. Opposite him sat two people, a man and a woman. They were the heads of the industrial department of Wayne Group and the ones who followed Thomas Wayne back then.
En controls the confidants of Wayne Group.
Schiller stood there and sighed. He glanced at the skyline. Without Hal to drive, this place was really far away from the city. Looking at the long country road, he had a headache.
Lucifer's eyes rolled, and his wings suddenly tilted to the right. He shouted: "Oh! The great force of nature! The summer wind from the Pacific Ocean is attacking this city. The gods are low and the angels are low.
Crying..."
"That's the problem." Thomas tapped the table with his hand and said, "Albers rejected us, but the logic of his rejection was very abnormal. He shouldn't have been able to reject it. Even if he didn't care about the profit, he couldn't.
We need to weigh the status of Wayne Group."
Lucifer showed an expression of disbelief, but Schiller changed his tone and said: "Wait a minute, I will find a rich guy to talk to you."
"When you declare war, Heaven will definitely prepare for war. I happen to be an angel, and I think I have some expertise in finance. I am willing to recommend myself to be the head of logistics for Heaven during the Second Fall War. I will ensure that the logistics arrangements are clear.
in vain."
Lucifer nodded very seriously, then started to clasp his fingers and said: "This is a very guaranteed investment. We can split the profits in half..."
Schiller turned around and left, Lucifer followed him. Schiller turned several turns but was unable to get rid of him. Finally, Schiller stood in the middle of the road and looked at Lucifer and said: "If I don't participate, you are going to
Are you following me like this?"
The only people in this world who can endure being with Schiller for a long time and in close proximity are ruthless people. The last ruthless person was Batman, and he could do it because he was Batman. Green Lantern could not.
Lucifer was completely stiff and turned into a statue, but Schiller had a feverish expression and spoke quickly:
"You are the Satan of Hell. As long as you announce the launch of the Fallen War, the Demon King of Hell must look at your face and actively pay you food and grass to express support for your revenge. Those who are unwilling are all rebels and will be slaughtered directly.
No, the family property will be confiscated."
After saying that, she walked out quickly, and within three minutes she came back and said with a serious face: "Lieutenant Colonel Stewart said that it is not normal for Albers to be promoted to general. They do not have such capital. He
His competitors are stronger and more powerful than him."
"I heard that His Excellency Lucifer Morningstar also initiated a war between heaven and hell. The so-called revenge of ten lives can still be avenged. It is not a gentleman not to avenge this revenge..."
"For so many years, Albers has not been an important figure in the military. He is so old, how can he still have such a chance for promotion?"
"Do you have the will to fight World War II?"
"The war situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are more and more casualties. As a pacifist, I must be heartbroken and cannot sit back and watch the three worlds fall into chaos. The guilt keeps me awake all night, and I have to pray to God."
"That's not the case. It's just that I want to make large-scale renovations. It's best to buy the house, otherwise the landlord will give me trouble, but the housing prices in Beach City are really a bit..."
Schiller took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped along the West Coast Highway, his smiling tone disappearing in the wind.
"It's easy to tell. Where is the house you like? Let's go over and buy it now, and then buy a house to live in. Of course we can live together and you don't have to pay rent."
Schiller still had a smile on his face, but his gaze at Lucifer became more and more intense. Under Lucifer's increasingly stiff gaze, Schiller nodded and said: Generally speaking, that's the case."
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you talking about affordable housing for vampires? Don't put the blame on me." Schiller lowered his head to zip up the suitcase, then carried the suitcase and walked out.
"Not with the sea!"
"But now we are in heaven."
"What do you want to say?"
"Where are you going?" Lucifer chased after him and asked. After that, he said a little aggrievedly: "I'm not wrong. Many vampires who don't have castles rent houses with poor lighting.
Put the coffin, I saw Cain when I lived in the Garden of Eden..."
"Don't be stupid. I don't know anyone here. Hal and Arthur are also your friends. I can only rely on you." Lucifer stopped in front of Schiller and stepped back facing him.
Keep walking.
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?"
"At that time, if hell prevails, you will ask for compensation, and we will split it half and half. If heaven prevails, I will ask Michael to demand compensation. You will go back to hell to accuse those demon kings of their incompetence in fighting, and the lion will open his mouth.
We need to make compensation. After the compensation reaches heaven, we will split it in half..."
Schiller held his suitcase expressionlessly and looked 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."
Schiller looked disgusted and left with his suitcase. Lucifer put his hands on his hips and was very angry, but then he caught up with Schiller and said: "Beach City is not Gotham. It is not developed enough here and there are not so many singles."
If you want to rent an apartment, you can only rent it as a whole. I think we can rent it together and save some rent."
Hal was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He stood there and took a few deep breaths. In fact, he knew that Schiller was used to being unforgiving. He knew that he had some of the problems of scholars and literati, and he always spoke in a literal-minded way.
It's all distance that creates beauty.
Schiller covered half of his face with one hand, shook his head vigorously, stretched out a hand to stop Lucifer, and then said: "I have no money."
The group leader with all white hair on the temples frowned slightly. The downward corners of his mouth and the strong muscles on his lips made him look like an angry lion. Soon, he spit out a name in a deep voice.
:
"Luthor."
Two hours later, in front of Hal's house, Schiller and Lucifer were thrown out of the door together with their luggage. Lucifer turned to look at Schiller and said, "Can't you just pretend that you don't have a mouth for a while?"
"But since he has refused now, it means that he has such confidence. So who gives him such confidence?"
The male manager also spoke up and said, "It's also about embezzlement of military funds. Albers should understand that if he cooperates with us, he will have greater room for negotiation than if he cooperates with the military-industrial complex. Why shouldn't he be tempted?"
Thomas snorted coldly and said, "Why else? He has a new backer. The relationship maintained by the military-industrial complex in the military has long been stable. There is no need to pick up another Albers as a burden."
"You can't say that about a strong petrel fighting against the forces of nature! I'm fighting against the power of nature!"
Schiller took a deep breath, and turned into gray mist with a "bang". After letting the gray mist adjust the various states of his body, he took a long breath, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Lucifer, and said:
"What's wrong with you? Do you insist on pestering me?"
Thomas knocked on the table lightly, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city, and then said:
Hearing this, the male manager was suddenly startled, then opened his eyes and said: "The Mexico incident broke out last year, and this year's increase in military spending is exactly 50%... Someone took action, faster than us!"
"speak English."
"Can't you fly faster?!"
"Shut up! Lucifer! You did it on purpose! Turn back!"
The female president slowly opened her eyes. She stood up immediately, and then said to the other two people: "Sorry, I'm going out to make a phone call."
"If Albers has a new backer, it means that there are new forces eyeing this piece of cake."
Lucifer grabbed Schiller, and Schiller grabbed his suitcase and flew slowly along the coastline. During the flight, Lucifer said: "You should really share a room with me. This is really a wonderful way to commute, right?"
Bar?"
"You can't even pay a year's rent?"
Dozens of seconds later, a blond-haired man in a suit rushed out of the door of a high-end restaurant in a hurry, rushed to the side of the road with quick steps, stopped a taxi with quick eyes and hands, opened the door and got in.
