Chapter 921 The so-called cooperation
Rick knew that Amanda was just talking to each other at most, and she was definitely not here to complain to him. Amanda was not the type to complain, nor was she the type to show weakness on purpose - the reason why Amanda showed weakness was probably just to accept. This will pave the way for the discussion that follows.
"Rick, continue to work with me. The Suicide Squad's plan will not stop. We still have many tasks in the future. You have patriotic feelings, the ability to control, and the ability to organize the Suicide Squad, so why Why don’t you try to keep doing it?”
Of course, Amanda came to see Rick for a reason. Rick is considered a capable, loyal and bottom-line person among ordinary people, not to mention that Rick still has concerns - as long as Rick's wife Joan is alive, she will be Rick. of bondage.
Perhaps it is easy to find a stronger executioner than Rick in the army, but it is still difficult to find someone with a bottom line like Rick. After all, the suicide squad is a criminal who will die when he dies, but the special operations team cannot just die.
There are really not many people who have all the abilities, talents, loyalty and bottom line. So Amanda thought about it and came to see Rick.
"I'm married, and I don't want to lick blood all the time. I already have a new family, so I'm sorry but I don't think I'm suitable to continue leading the Suicide Squad..."
Rick's reason for refusing couldn't be more legitimate. He has a new family and he really doesn't want to be so dangerous. Besides, Amanda is still too dangerous, so Rick doesn't really want to deal with Amanda.
"I know what you are thinking, but many times I have no choice. Your authority is not high, and you don't know everything." After speaking, Amanda handed Rick a piece of information.
"This is an extraordinary event that has occurred in the past six months. A total of nearly three hundred incidents involving supernatural abilities have occurred. Almost two supernatural incidents occur on the territory of the United States every day, causing a total of 1 deaths. Six hundred people died, about 6 were injured, and the economic losses reached US$98 billion.
And the casualties and losses I mentioned do not include this incident. All large-scale supernatural events are considered independent. It is as if the losses caused by wizards and wizards this time are not included in this report. Of course, there are some large-scale disasters, but the most serious one so far this year is caused by the wizard brother and sister. suffered. "
Amanda put detailed statistics in front of Rick in order to let Rick understand the current situation.
"So what does this mean? Although the increase in extraordinary events is indeed very rapid, is there any direct connection between this and inviting me?" It's not that Rick didn't understand at all, it's just that Rick pretended not to understand.
"The increase in extraordinary events is not isolated. In the future, the increase in extraordinary abilities in this world will also be real. No one can be alone. Just like your girlfriend Joan, of course she is now your wife.
Do you think you can avoid it by hiding? If you join the action department, you will be able to receive news in time and allow your family to evacuate in time - believe me, this is my promise to you. If ordinary people can't get detailed information, but here, if I say something inappropriate, in case of an accident, I will even allow you to do your own private work while performing official duties..."
Amanda knew very well that if she wanted to attract Rick, she could only arouse Rick's own interest. The effect of money inducement on Rick was low. For Rick and Joan, neither of them had high material desires, so money was only a bad idea. .
But if it's Joan's safety or a guy's feelings, it will have an effect on people like Rick - this is why Amanda likes people with a bottom line, who are less likely to betray and easier to control. Of course, everyone likes to be in the company of good people, especially a good person like Rick.
"I..." Amanda's steal made the originally determined Rick suddenly hesitate. Joan was a victim of supernatural powers, so Rick knew that some of what Amanda said was the truth.
And as Amanda said, this kind of news is difficult to report directly in the media, because if it is a large-scale extraordinary event, the result once reported is chaos, and the damage caused by chaos is no less than the damage caused by extraordinary abilities, so This is normal.
Of course, it can even be understood that the American official does not like all the news to spread. Although there are many extraordinary events happening all over the world, the number is dwarfed by those in the United States.
There are not even as many anomalies happening around the world as there are in the United States, so the United States has become a veritable unlucky place, at least for normal people.
"You don't need to answer me now. I can give you half a month to think about it. After all, I am willing to respect talents. At the same time, I wish you a happy wedding!" Amanda did not push Rick too hastily. necessary.
Seeing Amanda Ricker turning around and leaving, he fell into deep thought again. "Rick, don't worry, no matter what choice you make, I will stand by your side." Joan knew that now Rick was in trouble again. Although Joan herself didn't know what better choice for Rick, no matter what it was, Joan can accept any result.
"I love you, Joan." Rick kissed Joan gently on the forehead.
……
An uninvited guest suddenly appeared in Amanda's home. It was Bruce Wayne, the Batman in a black armor and black cape. However, this time Wayne did not hide himself because Amanda actually knew who he was.
"Rare visitor, what does the famous Batman of Gotham City want to do with me?" Amanda didn't like Bruce Wayne's behavior of being a city policeman, but she wouldn't expose Bruce. Even if it is exposed, it will not have much effect. Rich people can afford to hire a whole team of lawyers to litigate against the military or the government until Amanda leaves office.
"I want information about two people with special abilities, but their information is not easy to find. But I think you must have information about these people here, so you can raise the stakes, no matter how much."
Bruce added that it was not too much, but he was worried that Amanda really didn't know the importance of the matter. Although Bruce was rich, he was not stupid. The price was too high, so he might as well spend the money to investigate.
"No, I can give you the information, and there are no additional requirements." Amanda is not stupid. For Bruce, threats of power will not work. Bruce himself is a big capitalist in the United States, and he cannot be threatened with just a few words.
