Chapter seven hundred and sixty-two swim, you continue to swim
After the bar owner finished yelling, the scene suddenly became awkward. The embarrassment here refers to Russell and Arthur. The others were still singing and dancing to celebrate the free drinks for everyone tonight.
Russell is the strange stranger?
Impossible, he is a superhero. Even if he is not, the person who invites everyone to drink for free cannot be a bad person.
Arthur's body tensed and he stared at Russell without blinking, wondering whether to run away immediately.
It's definitely not okay to stay and fight. Not to mention breaking the tables, chairs and benches, he will have to pay for the compensation out of his own pocket, and he can't beat Superman!
But without saying a word, he jumped into the sea and ran away. He had run away a hundred times. What should the kind and kind old father do?
The superhero shouldn't take his old father hostage!
Arthur was very troubled, but Russell did not have this problem. As a humanoid awkwardness maker, he had rich experience and had never seen any scene before. The little embarrassment in front of him was not worth mentioning at all, and he was moved away as soon as the topic was changed.
"Arthur, relax, there's no need to be nervous. Let me reiterate, I really don't have any ill intentions when I come to you."
"Uh, can I leave now?"
"Can't!"
Russell knew that the other party was still wary, so he had no choice but to put away his usual indifference to fame and fortune, took the initiative to mention his great achievements, and said loudly and low-key: "The Angel incident in Los Angeles, the terrorist invasion in Beach City, the dirty bomb in Gotham City
Incident, the Kryptonian incident in Metropolis, do you know all these?"
Arthur's eyes lit up: "Of course, I know everything you said. Could it be that you..."
"Yes, it's me!"
Russell wiped the cold sweat from his head. It was not easy. It was worth it that he was forced to show off and was finally recognized.
"Did you plan all those big events?"
"..."
Three seconds later, Arthur's tense face laughed: "Okay, my bad, I was just joking. I know you, I have already remembered you, you are the superhero, the angel with wings
.”
After his identity was revealed, Arthur completely let down his guard. Russell has saved the world many times and is a qualified superhero.
Although many media have condemned him for being cruel and ruthless, ignoring the preciousness of life and putting himself above the law, Arthur doesn't think so.
Because human nature is like this, people are really mean, and words of advice are often not as good as a bullet.
No one wants to die, even the bad guys. The fastest way to get them to give up resistance, control the situation, and prevent the spread of the crisis is to kill decisively.
The most direct and strongest evidence is what Russell did in the dirty bomb incident. After appearing on the scene, he massacred everyone and made all the criminals panic. The incident was quickly calmed down, and Gotham City was quiet afterwards. The criminals
Everyone is in danger and there is not even a decent resistance.
But if he hadn't done this at the beginning and the deterrence was not strong enough, I'm afraid many people would have died when the Gotham police swept the area.
Since they are all dead, why are the dead not bad people?
Russell glanced at Arthur speechlessly, secretly thinking that becoming the king of Atlantis with such a joke was really a national misfortune.
But Atlantis is unlucky, what does it have to do with him, just be unlucky!
"Arthur, I came to you for Atlantis."
"Atlantis?"
Arthur shrugged: "Sorry, there's nothing I can do. I'm not familiar with them."
"Listen Arthur, Batman and I caught an alien creature trying to invade the earth in Gotham. According to intelligence, a large number of alien troops will soon land on the earth. The war is imminent, and the situation is urgent. We can't rely on land alone.
It’s hard to hold the earth with such power.”
Russell ignored Arthur's self-mockery and continued: "You should understand that if the land is lost, it will soon be the ocean's turn to suffer. In order to survive, everyone should unite."
"Isn't there still the Justice League?"
Arthur closed his eyes and shook his head: "You also have Superman, Batman, and you, an angel!"
"It's useless. The enemy this time is very powerful and the Justice League alone cannot defeat them."
"..."
After being silent for a long time, Arthur smiled bitterly and said: "I really can't do anything. No kidding, I'm really not familiar with Atlantis."
Seeing that Arthur's tone was getting softer and not as tough as before, Russell said: "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with him. You are the eldest son of the Queen. As long as you inherit the throne, everything else will fall into place."
"Sorry, I'm not the heir to the throne!"
Arthur's face turned cold, and his tone became even colder: "I don't know where you got the information, but you may not know that there is only hatred between Atlantis and me. Because my mother fell in love with my father, and she also
She was executed by the Atlanteans twenty years ago after giving birth to me."
"No, she is still alive!"
Russell was very sure. After looking at the family photos and confirming Queen Atlanna's appearance, he was 80% sure that the Queen was still alive.
"Enough!"
Arthur slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Russell with an angry look: "I respect you as a superhero who has risked his own life to save the world several times, but... don't make fun of my mother."
With that said, Arthur turned around and left full of resentment. He was in a terrible mood and wanted to go swimming to relieve his stress.
Russell got up and followed him. When he came to the door, he saw the bar owner with a look of death on his face.
Drinks are free for everyone, and the drunkards are no longer drunk. Each of them has transformed into a thousand glasses, and his stomach seems to be filled with the ocean. He has been busy for half a month in vain.
Russell shook his head slightly, took out a bunch of beautiful knives from behind his butt and slapped the bar owner in the face: "That beer is good, I like it very much, here is your tip."
"!"
Seeing Russell's handsome back as he walked away, the bar owner felt his heart warm, because the glass of beer was knocked over as soon as it was put on the table, and Russell didn't take a sip at all.
Worthy of being a superhero!
The bar owner's eyes were blurred with tears. He chased out of the door with a knife and waved vigorously in the direction where Russell disappeared: "Thank you, Superman, from today on, I will be your fan."
Boom!
A bolt of thunder fell from the sky and struck the bar owner at his feet. He was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and rolled and crawled into the bar.
…
On the winding mountain road, two car lights move from far to near. At the turning intersection, the lights streak across the sea under the night sky.
Arthur stopped the car with a speechless face and looked at Russell in the passenger seat: "Brother, I give up. Tell me, what do you have to do to let me go?"
"Join the Justice League, then go to Atlantis to kill the current king. After taking office, he will mobilize troops to garrison the coastline."
After Russell finished speaking, he added: "It is not too much to let the Atlanteans die, but to let them defend their homeland."
"It's not too much, but I can't do it."
Arthur sighed: "It's no problem to join the Justice League. If you need it, I can contribute my strength at any time, but if you want me to become the king of Atlantis, you'd better give up."
Russell earnestly advised: "Arthur, you have to believe in yourself. Although you are not very smart and are not the material to be a king. The country entrusts you with only one way to perish, but you are born well..."
"You are the first in line to succeed. Even a discerning person can see that you are a foolish king. The throne should be yours."
Arthur: "..."
Russell hugged his shoulders and said, "Don't be embarrassed, you didn't steal my brother's things, you just took back what should be yours."
Arthur pushed Russell's hand away: "You think about things too simply. This is the throne, not a toy. I come from land, and no one will support me as king."
"I support it!"
Russell said fiercely: "I will go to Atlantis with you and kill everyone who blocks your way. If anyone dares to disobey, we will kill them with our arms raised and lowered until their heads are rolling."
"Uh, are you crazy?"
"No, I just said it casually. I thought you would get excited after hearing it, and then I would do it."
"On the contrary, my blood immediately ran cold."
Seeing Russell's unyielding attitude, Arthur had no choice but to retreat. He walked out of the car and came to the cliff edge of the road, pointing to the sea below: "Man, I really want to help you, but you have found the wrong person. You should go
Find the current king of Atlantis. If you can convince him, and there are several other kings, they will send troops."
The current King of Atlantis, Orm, is Arthur's half-brother. He wants to reunify the Atlantis Empire. He is a standard power-controller, arrogant, extremely contemptuous of human beings, and even integrates other people.
The reasons for several kingdoms are related to humans.
Orm: Dear kings, humans have been discharging... garbage into the ocean, fight them!
It is conceivable that with such an extreme racial element, it would be great if the Atlanteans did not hold back. If we expect them to cooperate in fighting, unless the Flash is sacrificed to heaven and the universe is restarted, otherwise there is no way to even think about it.
"It's impossible. Orm doesn't have a good impression of humans. Even if I knock him down, he won't send troops."
Russell shook his head and then affirmed: "But you are different. You grew up on land. While you love the sea, you also love the land deeply. You are the most suitable King of Atlantis."
"God, don't say that."
Arthur followed Russell's previous words: "Man, you have to believe in yourself. Although you are full of bad intentions and may not feel good at first sight, you are really bad..."
"With how bad you are, even if Om can see that you have bad intentions and are digging a hole for him to jump into, you will still be deceived if you should."
"hehe!"
Russell sneered twice: "Arthur, you have taken a narrow road!"
"Then I won't walk, I will swim..."
Arthur raised a middle finger: "Listen, you can join the Justice League, but becoming the king of Atlantis... is out of the question."
"I don't need your consent, I will beat you up, take you to Atlantis, and put you on the throne." Russell twisted his lips and showed a gloomy smile, suddenly remembering that he was a positive person
The character hurriedly stretched out his hand to suppress the innocent smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, then you must catch me first..."
Arthur ended up laughing and jumped off the cliff. His voice echoed: "Although you can fly, you can't swim as fast as me, so just stay on the shore and eat your shit!"
Plop!
Arthur fell into the water and used his super power "Swim Fast" to turn an arrow from the string and shoot out quickly, hitting the rocks with a whoosh.
Hey!
Why did it hit the rock?
Looking at the rock shattered by his iron head, Arthur looked confused. Then he suddenly turned around and looked around, his mouth wide open.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, the waves of the vast sea were furious, waking up like living creatures.
I saw that the vast expanse of sea split straight away, like a blue grand canyon, with two walls rising steeply vertically. The water curtain at the end gradually opened up, and soon it was beyond the range of sight, falling into a despairing silence.
and pitch black.
"Gudu!"
Arthur swallowed. Although he didn't know what happened, his behavior just now might...seemed like...maybe he was too arrogant.
Is it too late to apologize now?
boom!!
Russell had six wings on his back and fell from the sky with a bang, crushing the rocks on the seabed. His dark eyes were deep and gloomy, and his whole body exuded an aura that was unapproachable.
"Swim! Aren't you swimming very fast? You should keep swimming!"
