In the end, Luke successfully made an appointment with Diana to have lunch together, and naturally got on Diana's Lamborghini Hura and drove away.
The only ones left behind were Mr. Wei with flickering eyes, and Xiaoba and Victor with confused faces.
Xiaoba was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Victor: "You're driving?"
Victor was helpless: "I don't have such fine control over the machine yet. If I step on the accelerator, it might bend. You drive it. I don't want to repair the car."
Xiaoba said sadly: "I usually run. It's faster and more convenient than taking a car."
Victor didn't care. He pulled him to the car left by Luke and took a look: "Automatic transmission, very simple."
Xiaoba suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Wait, you confused me. Bell's SUV has intelligent driving. I don't need to drive it."
Victor: “… Why didn’t you say so earlier?” He reached out and pulled the car door… but it didn’t open.
Xiaoba coughed lightly and said, "Open sesame."
With a slight click, the driver and co-pilot doors were unlocked and the gap opened a little.
Victor glared at Xiaoba: "Did you do this on purpose?"
Xiaoba trembled: "You move too fast."
Victor: "So you're not the fastest one among us?"
Xiaoba: "Bell said that we should try to keep the fun in life. It's boring to speed up all the time."
Victor: "...Okay, you do it, I don't care."
The two of them left noisily, and Master Wei got into his car, but he didn't start it immediately. Instead, he tapped the steering wheel with his fingers thoughtfully: "Bell, this guy, humph!"
…
Having dinner with the goddess of war was a pre-planned plan.
Luke casually asked about her family affairs, and then asked to go to Paradise Island for a visit some time.
Diana didn't refuse, but was a little curious: "Why?"
Luke shrugged. "Team building. I helped with Xiaoba and Victor's family issues. If Arthur has no objection, I'd like to go to Atlantis, too."
Diana swirled the red wine in the glass and said, "I don't seem to have any trouble at home."
Luke: "Maybe I need some help too."
Diana was interested: "What help?"
Luke: "Like an indestructible sword, or an indestructible shield?"
Diana understood a little, but shook her head regretfully: "We don't have the technology to make these things."
Luke waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just an example. Some of these things may be commonplace to you, but for Bruce and I, maybe we can do something with them. This is the thinking of scientists."
Diana hesitated for a moment and did not refuse: "I will ask, but it may not succeed."
Luke laughed. "Apart from anything else, if another guy like Steppenwolf shows up, are you sure Paradise Island doesn't need a batch of emergency defense weapons?"
Diana's eyes moved: "Like your floating turret?"
Luke said calmly, "That was just to coax Bruce. In fact, my fighter plane already has short-distance space capabilities."
Diana: ...If you have the guts, say this in front of Bruce!
In the end, Diana didn't make a decision on the spot, but Luke felt that she was definitely tempted.
Although she has lived in the UK for a long time and occasionally traveled to other European countries, there were many casualties on Paradise Island this time.
If Paradise Island was equipped with the space fighters that Luke mentioned, it would have much more room for maneuver in times of crisis.
A soldier's fate may be to die on the battlefield, but that doesn't mean reducing casualties is unimportant.
Of course, there are many troublesome places.
Firstly, an outsider coming to Paradise Island, and this person being a very powerful Dark Knight, definitely needs to be taken into consideration.
Secondly, the Dark Knight is a man, a handsome, strong, and well-spoken man with explosive fighting power.
You know, all the Amazon warriors on Paradise Island are women.
When you meet a man like him, you might want to try something.
Diana was very confident about this. After all, this was how she came out of Paradise Island and came into contact with the outside world.
…
A month later, Superman returns to Earth.
Hearing about the Steppenwolf attack, he was a little surprised and a little embarrassed.
Luke didn't ask about what he gained from returning to his hometown on Krypton, but Master Wei quietly probed him several times.
Unfortunately, Superman didn't reveal anything.
Judging from his expression and actions, he didn't seem to have found a treasure this time, but rather a complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
Luke is not as impatient as Master Wei.
He still has several hundred years to live, so he is much more relaxed than Master Wei, whose physical prime is about to pass away and who has already lived half of his life.
Superman himself is a great treasure.
He had hidden the Kryptonian spaceship that had brought Superman to Earth as a baby.
Superman also holds a high-level database of Kryptonians based on information obtained from many aspects.
Luke had no idea what this database was or what it was used for.
But just looking at the wreckage of the spacecraft left behind by General Zod, you can feel the power of Kryptonian technology.
Therefore, Luke just quietly consolidated his own network of power, taking the opportunity to replace some experts and study the spacecraft left by General Zod.
This alone is enough for him to entertain himself for eight or ten years.
Master Wei is gradually improving every aspect of the Justice League, and Luke is assisting him.
Members must be made clear that the bulk of the revenue came from Mr. Wei, but the Cavaliers also contributed a small part.
This thing is essentially similar to a company. Whoever invests more has more say.
Without investment, your say will be very small.
Luke's involvement just reached the point where Master Wei felt a little uncomfortable, but had no choice but to accept it.
He can't openly say that other capable members are not allowed to participate in "team building"? We are not fools.
Especially when Luke was discussing "group psychology" with Victor intentionally or unintentionally, Xiaoba next to him seemed to have realized something.
Superman's not there? That doesn't matter.
Anyway, this kind of "team building" time is one hour every Saturday afternoon, and Clark, a reporter from the Metropolitan Museum next door, can listen remotely just by tilting his ear.
I won’t go into any profound content, but the basic point is to keep thinking independently and refuse to follow blindly.
Luke doesn't swear in class, but he is quite sarcastic when he mocks those "stupid + unhappy" words.
There are many comments like "Did his mother abandon him when she gave birth to him and just keep the placenta?"
No matter how saintly Superman is, he has no interest in being the "placental spirit" that Luke talks about.
At night, Luke would put on his armor and randomly pick up "lucky spectators" in major cities along the East Coast.
In fact, these "lucky viewers" themselves were the targets of advance investigation.
Only the order is random; bad luck is inevitable sooner or later.
As a result, the rest of the Justice League was temporarily overshadowed by the Dark Knight.
Compared to Batman, who basically only appears in Gotham, the Dark Knight's behavior of sweeping across one-third of the United States is really too high-profile.
