After a while, the two went out and left separately.
Phil looked at Flagg walking away in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
He hadn't lied to Flagg.
The incident Batman caused last night caused him to cancel the private communication he had prepared in advance.
Batman has only been around for about a month, and he has already faced off against the powerful California family, the Esworth family. Last night, he even directly destroyed the core of this family.
Phil felt that if he really recruited this man into the team, the conflict between SHIELD and the American powerful class would become more intense.
Even though he personally agreed with Batman's behavior last night, he had to give up his recruitment plan.
But he also won't catch Batman.
He was 100% human and had no intention of standing up for the blood-sucking monster family like the Esworths.
…
After Luke and Selina left, they went to another private hospital to visit Dustin and lawyer Jennifer.
After Esworth withdrew most of the police officers from the hospital last night, Dustin, with the help of his capable team, Elsa, transferred lawyer Jennifer, who had just completed the surgery, to this private hospital ahead of schedule, leaving only one empty ward.
If the gangsters who came last night were ordinary gangsters, he would have equipped them with real x-bombs and relevant evidence about the Esworth family, and then sent them to heaven, and arrested Esworth for instructing the gangsters to enter the hospital for a suicide attack.
Otherwise, like last time, the drugs he planted in the gangsters' backpacks would be wiped out by Esworth.
It turned out that the attackers were two vampires, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
After Luke confirmed that the two vampires had broken into the room, he detonated the smoke bomb that had been set up in advance, creating a loud noise to ensure that any Batman nearby would be "attracted" over.
As long as Batman goes there, he will naturally find a way to catch the two attackers who went to silence them and make them appear on the live TV show together.
These paparazzi are free third-party witnesses.
There is no need for Luke to film himself or send videos; the reporters will do the rest themselves.
As a result, Flagg and Phil were also lured over, and he didn't even have to do the finishing work.
As for Sheldon Elsworth, who was killed in the Stone Castle, the old guy used extraordinary methods.
Luke previously thought that Sheldon was a human lackey controlled or seduced by a vampire.
But in fact, after the old guy found a way to obtain the First Embrace and save his body that was dying of cancer, he relied on prior planning to capture the vampire who gave him the First Embrace and put him in a semi-comatose state.
Sheldon was naturally not under the control of the other party. He directly sucked all the "real blood" of the unconscious vampire, replaced the other party, and became a real vampire.
That was more than ten years ago.
After that, Sheldon handed over the apparent power to his son Henry Esworth, and he himself hid in the dark, secretly capturing vampires, while selecting his dying tribesmen to convert into vampire slaves, and upgrading the diehards to vampires.
The vampires that Luke killed last night were Sheldon's accumulated evidence over the past decade.
Sheldon is not a vassal of the vampire, he is a blood-sucking vine wrapped around the vampire, constantly digging into the vampire's corner.
The reason why Councilman Henry has not been liked by Sheldon in the past two years is that the sick Councilman Henry has always been unwilling to abandon his human identity and has been trying hard to save himself with science and continue to be a great figure in the human world.
Councilman Henry's younger brother, Wolf Esworth, had already joined the family cult founded by Sheldon and became a staunch member.
The killing games he played were just a token of his allegiance.
At the same time, Wolf is Sheldon's link to the Bubblegum Gang and the European vampires.
Sheldon found clues about vampires from the Bubblegum Gang through Wolf, and plotted against more than a dozen vampires, leaving his own family members to take over.
This is also the reason why Sheldon was furious after Wolf Elsworth "disappeared".
In comparison, Henry values his human rights more, while Wolf is Sheldon's good son and helper.
When Henry was diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago and needed a bone marrow transplant, he secretly took Dylan's DNA for identification and discovered that his son Dylan was actually his nephew.
There was a violent conflict between the two brothers, Henry and Wolfe.
But even though Henry's wife gave birth to a son for Wolf, Sheldon still stood on Wolf's side.
Henry became increasingly estranged from his father, brother, son, and wife, and finally decided to secretly try in vitro fertilization to find a matching bone marrow for himself.
Because he couldn't get over the fact that his younger brother cheated on him, his father still helped the other party.
After Luke sorted out this relationship, he felt a little nervous: It seems that Councilman Henry died a little unjustly.
As for the blood god that Sheldon wanted to summon, the other members of the family didn't know the details, and it was the old man who was handling it alone.
The things that Luke took away from the secret room in the stone castle were all information related to the Blood God and the summoning ritual. You can just read them slowly later.
Finally, there are Dylan Elsworth and Alex Montel, the two young masters are hiding in the stone castle.
The robbers who rescued Alex from prison were Sheldon's direct subordinates.
This group of people attacked the prison on the night of the earthquake and hid in the stone castle, not daring to show up in Los Angeles again.
Therefore, there were so few people who went to silence Jennifer's lawyer the next day.
After more than fifty people were killed in the hospital, Sheldon had to send out two vampire servants to silence them, but they were caught by Luke who was waiting there.
Alex is more important to Sheldon's future plans, so he has to save him.
Alex's Montel family has been engaged in various criminal activities in Europe, one of which is human smuggling.
His family is also a major supplier to the Bubble Gum Gang, and often helps the Esworth family smuggle girls as fresh "blood cattle".
Those girls were tricked onto the ship from Eastern Europe and sent directly to a stone castle that never sees the sun.
After contacting this supplier, the Esworth family's kidnapping of women and children in California became an entertainment show rather than a necessity.
This is why it has not attracted much attention.
In fact, once Sheldon completes the "summoning of the blood god" and successfully possesses the body, he will take his grandson Dylan and his partner Alex to the chaotic country in Eastern Europe, and after a few circles, he will take root there with a new identity.
There are too many powerful forces operating in the United States, which is not suitable for Sheldon's vampire family development plan.
He was ready to split the family into two, with the younger generation taking control of the American industry and the older and dying people being transformed into vampires to develop dark forces in Europe.
This old guy is indeed an old ghost who plays with power and politics. He arranges everything clearly. Even the vampires are just his tools.
Unfortunately, Luke and Esworth had an "indissoluble bond" a long time ago.
