Chapter 410 Breaking the Peace
Amazon's current Queen Troy issued a warning to America. Leaving aside the attitudes of those at the top, at least the General Public didn't take this matter to heart.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Although the Amazonians are all brave and good at fighting, the Justice League is not to be trifled with either. And if worst comes to worst, there's still the Government.
Moreover, in Human society, they have seen too many threatening statements of this nature. This kind of tough stance is usually deliberately put on to gain some Benefit during negotiations. In today's society, although War is not uncommon, it is by no means easy to start.
Burning Money and wasting lives, it's a losing proposition. Don't look at how fiercely they shout, but in reality, when it really comes to taking action, they will generally take a step back.
Adhering to this Idea, basically no one took Troy's Words seriously. The Government also chose to wait and see. If the other side becomes difficult at that Time, they can also say that they have no Means of communication with Paradise Island, thus delaying the best Time for negotiation. After all, the Government doesn't know Magic and has no way to send messages using Magic like Paradise Island.
And so, a few hours passed. The residents of Washington lived as usual. Today was as sunny and beautiful as usual. In a few more hours, it would be Time to get off Work, which made the sleepy people perk up a bit.
Mike was one of these General Public. Although the Work of a Shopping Mall Security guard wasn't heavy, the long hours of standing and walking still made him feel tired. Some Time ago, he went for a check-up because he was afraid of suffering from varicose veins, but fortunately, this Disease had not yet befallen him.
Mike took out a Plastic Bag, inside was a Donut wrapped in oil paper. This was given to him by the beautiful Mexican Woman who ran the pastry Business in the Shopping Mall. Since Mike helped her solve the problem of her half-brother Addict who always asked her for Money to feed his drug addiction, she always prepared some Bread and pastries for him.
Although his colleagues always joked that the other party had taken a liking to him, Mike didn't think so. The other party had her own Life, and he couldn't just get carried away by a little bit of impulse and disturb her. Honestly going Home to play Game was his true calling.
Unpacking the Plastic Bag, Mike walked outside the Shopping Mall. After all, it was still working Time. Even if he had a good relationship with his Leader, he couldn't openly slack off in the Shopping Mall. He planned to quickly finish it as usual, and then return to his Work Position.
Taking the Donut out of the Plastic Bag, Mike then noticed that there seemed to be something written on the outside of the oil paper used to wrap the Donut. Could it be that the pastry shop changed its packaging?
Mike stretched his Head to bite into the Donut, while both Eyes were focused on seeing what was written on it. But before he could see the Words on the oil paper clearly, he felt his Head becoming heavier and heavier, out of his Control. He couldn't even bite the Donut in his Hand.
"Thump! Gurgle gurgle gurgle."
The round thing fell from his Shoulder, rolled far away due to Inertia. The sturdy Body wearing a Security guard uniform crashed down. The Air seemed to freeze at this moment. After about two or three seconds, a deafening Scream rang out.
"I love this Tune to Death." The Woman wearing Armor licked the Blood dripping from her Sword, morbidly admiring the Crowd panicking because of her Masterpiece.
"Behave yourself, Deimos, you pervert!"
Behind the Woman, several Women with similar attire to her appeared one after another. They all came out of a purple Portal. One of the Women, who was obviously of higher status, looked at Deimos in front of her with disgust.
"But, isn't our Mission to cause panic, Captain?" Deimos flicked her Sword, the Fresh Blood on it shot out like a Sharp Arrow, dyeing the oil paper that fell from Mike's Hand completely red. The Words on it were completely illegible.
"We don't kill Civilians!" the Captain said sternly.
"But I remember that the Clothes this man was wearing should be Police Officer clothes, right? I remember that Police Officers should be Warriors among Humans." Deimos blinked her Eyes. "So I shouldn't have made a mistake, right?"
"I know, that's why I just reprimanded you. Otherwise, what awaits you can only be the Sword in my Hand."
After saying this, the Captain no longer looked at Deimos, but instead said to the other subordinates: "Our Mission is only to attract attention, the more Super Heroes we can attract, the better. Don't do extra things like Deimos. Our enemies can only be those Warriors."
"Those Words really hurt my Heart." Deimos brandished the Sword in her Hand. "Seriously, Captain, if I didn't do this, do you think we could attract those Justice League people so quickly?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Deimos immediately waved the Sword in her Hand. Along with a few short sounds of metal clashing, several black Bat-shaped Darts were cut down to the Ground by her. Several Amazonians immediately looked in the opposite Direction from which the Darts flew, but did not see any Human.
Time flowed. It was already dusk at this Time. While the Amazonians were talking, the panicked Crowd had already dispersed almost completely. In their Line of Sight, they could not see anything else except for some nonsensical things invented by Humans.
"Whoosh!"
A rapid Sound of Air Being Torn came. An Amazonian on the periphery of the Team hadn't even had Time to react when a Rope had already wrapped around her neck. Along with a slight click sound, the Rope locked onto her neck.
The Amazonian gritted her Teeth and tensed her Muscles, reaching her Hands towards her neck, wanting to tear off this Human trick. Unfortunately, the Rope was tightened too tightly, she couldn't even insert her little finger. She couldn't even grip it, let alone tear the Rope off.
"Ugh!"
A Power came from the Rope. As an ordinary Amazonian, she still needed to breathe. The lack of oxygen brought not only physical pain, but also psychological Fear. By the Time she reacted, she had already been dragged away.
"Lady!" Another Amazonian noticed her teammate's abnormality. But after seeing clearly the Position where her Partner was locked, she immediately stopped her Hand from wanting to pull her, which prevented the scene of her teammate's Body and Head separating from appearing.
"Tsk!"
A Figure quickly flashed past. The Captain of the Amazon Squad drew her Sword and quickly overtook the bound Lady. With a Sword strike, the Rope broke in response, flying around wildly like a severed snake. Lady immediately fell to the Ground.
The Captain aimed at Lady's neck and pierced it with a Sword. The buckle locking the Rope instantly split in two. The latter then regained new Life, panting heavily. The others couldn't care about their fallen teammate, and looked again in the Direction of the Rope. As expected, they could only find a grappling gun attached to a Car.
"I know who you are!" the Captain shouted at the quiet surroundings.
"If you have the guts, come out and face me! Batman!"
