I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 217 Maid Adriana

Veronica finally didn't lie again. The place she brought Jacques to was a remote villa on the outskirts of Dallas. When Jacques landed, the originally dark villa was instantly lit up, and the gate automatically opened slowly. Open.

"Welcome back, madam and grandpa. If you want to take a bath, the hot water has already been boiled, and if you two can't wait, the bed is also ready."

The moment Jacques and Veronica stepped into the villa, a maid appeared respectfully in front of them—the only problem was that the maid had no entity, only a pale yellow electronic phantom.

And although the "maid" is wearing a maid uniform, the face with glasses still makes Jacques familiar.

"Adriana, stop playing, what's going on in the company now?"

This electronic maid is none other than Dr. Cyber ​​Adriana, who had a brief fight with Jacques just now. After she winked at Jacques, she began to report to Veronica in a fast and clear voice.

"The Helicopter of the Viper Force made an emergency landing without any casualties; the fire in the room has been extinguished and has not affected the safety of the building; all the security forces and firefighting forces have been sent back, and a report has been submitted as a natural gas explosion"

Jacques, who was listening on the sidelines, frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking.

"Where is Supergirl, what happened to that Kara Zor-El?"

Adriana glanced at Veronica, and after the latter nodded slightly, she turned to Jacques to continue reporting.

"Supergirl was picked up by the Justice League helicopter and did not appear to be life-threatening. However, the current rotating commander of the Justice League, Dinah Laurel Lance, seemed very angry about the injury to Supergirl and repeatedly complained to the country. The government applied for a search warrant to enter the company building."

Veronica glanced at Jacques meaningfully, as if she wanted to say that you have done a good job; but Jacques was not to be outdone and stared back. He did not forget that Kara was actually summoned by Veronica. The self-defense party does not intend to take the blame.

"Okay, Adrienne, help me send emails to the high-level government of several members of Congress I am familiar with, and ask them to help temporarily suppress the actions of the Justice League, and I will explain other issues tomorrow with Mr. Joaquin Zhou. "

When Veronica gave the task to Adriana, Jacques was also thinking about the super girl.That Kryptonian girl named Kara is really more difficult to coax than imagined, and I don't know if she will come to trouble me again after she recovers from the sun tomorrow.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter to Jacques when it comes to fighting. Others may be afraid of this superman’s cousin, but Jacques, who has the ability to ravage, comes with kryptonite special effects after transformation, which is inherently restraining Kryptonians.

But no matter what, Kara is also a member of the Justice League, and Jacques doesn't want to have a deadlock with the Justice League.Thinking of Dinah's mother who didn't have a high degree of affection for him at the beginning, Jacques felt a little tingly.

"Adriana, take Jacques to the bedroom to rest first, I, I want to see Isado first."

Adriana leaned forward and bowed slightly, and then her electronic body split—or duplicated into two, one of which made a "please" gesture to Jacques.

When Jacques followed Adriana in the corridor, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was really convenient to have a virtual butler. He also understood why Bruce would want to create an electronic Alfred in the world of killing machines.

Adriana took Jacques to a luxuriously decorated room, and said respectfully like a real maid.

"Master Jacques can treat this place as his own home, if you need anything, please call me—"

Adriana winked at Jacques playfully, grabbed the hem of the skirt provocatively and saluted, while Jacques narrowed his eyes and showed an interesting smile.

"Anything you want?"

"Ah, but if there is a need for skin to touch, please forgive me for being helpless, as you can see I am just a poor and incorporeal artificial intelligence—"

"Then can you tell me about your friend Dr. Veronica Kyle?"

Hearing Jacques' words, Adriana's face changed rapidly, and the pretentiously charming expression just now disappeared without a trace, and even her voice became an emotionless mechanical sound.

"Sorry, I'm an artificial virtual program, revealing the master's information is not within the scope of my authority."

If it was someone else, they would have given up seeing this scene, but Jacques still stared at Adriana with meaningful eyes.

"I want to help Veronica, Adriana. But you should also be very clear that she is not the kind of person who will openly accept help from others-you can save us all from detours and time to try each other .”

Adriana was silent for a few seconds, and after a while, the voice sounded like a repeater.

"Sorry, I'm an artificial virtual program, revealing the master's information is not within the scope of my authority—"

"There's no need to pretend to be like this in front of me, Dr. Cyber. I know very well that you are an artificial intelligence formed by digitizing the consciousness of Veronica's friend, Dr. Adrianna Anderson. You are not Vero Nika's slave, but her friend—she can't place such restrictions on you, and you are not a dead computer program."

Adriana fell silent again, and when her eyes looked at Jacques again, the latter could obviously feel emotions that were not electronic data, but closer to humans.

"Although I don't know how you know this information, I have to tell you that prying into a lady's past is a very annoying faux pas."

"So I want to know about Veronica from you. I know that if I ask her in person, she won't tell me all frankly—"

"But you are different, Dr. Anderson, you should be more aware of my strength than her. With your calculation ability, you should already know that this is Veronica's best chance for redemption."

Adriana paused again, and then her body suddenly disintegrated and reorganized into a large screen, on which a scene of images was reflected.

This is a younger-looking Veronica, holding the hand of a little girl who is about 8 years old, walking into a museum scene.

"The Story Begins Here"

Meanwhile, at the Justice League headquarters in Washington.

"Turn on the sunlight, quick!"

No matter how clever a doctor is, they can't treat Kryptonians. After all, no scalpel can cut through the impenetrable skin.But given enough sunlight exposure, the Kryptonians can heal themselves.

"How is she?"

A blond man in a suit, with a mustache and a goatee walked into the ward and asked Laurel who was holding Carla's hand by the bed.

"The body's injuries have basically recovered, but she seems to have inhaled a large amount of kryptonite powder gas, and it will take a period of metabolism to recover-have you issued an assembly order for the Justice League, Oliver?"

The man called Oliver scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"I think it's better to investigate first before taking action, Dinah. From what I know, it may be different from what we imagined."

"The relatives left behind by Superman are treated like this, and you still want to investigate?! I didn't expect you to be such an indecisive man, Oliver! If our daughter is also beaten like this, can you be so calm?"

Laurel stood up and glared at Oliver with an angry face.

"Okay, if the Justice League refuses to act, then I will do it myself - no matter what, those who hurt Kara will definitely pay the price!"
