Anti-hero of a certain comic

"Amanda, dispatch the special response force of the Sky Eye Society as soon as possible. Floyd Lawton noticed his arrest and gave up the assassination mission midway."

"He's only been away for 15 minutes. There's still enough time. I believe you will catch him."

"By the way, he had a brief fight with my bodyguard. His sternum was shattered and his right hand was dislocated. He shouldn't have any weapons on him."

Half an hour later, Leo dialed Amanda Waller's phone.

His voice was urgent and annoyed, as if he was sorry he had missed a great opportunity to apprehend Deadshot himself.

Amanda Waller seemed to be anxious to mobilize the special response force and contact the National Guard to launch a manhunt. She hung up the phone without exchanging a few words with Leo.

"She will believe what you say."

Ms. Siwa sat in the sports car and looked at Leo who took off his Bluetooth headset next to him.

"Maybe, maybe not. Amanda Waller is a smart woman, which means she thinks a lot more than others. On the surface, I don't have any reason to let Floyd Lawton go, but if she is right When I have doubts, I can naturally think of a suitable reason."

Leo stepped on the accelerator and accelerated. He had just sent Felicity home and stopped by the Star City Police Station to record a confession. He was now preparing to return to White Manor.

Deadshot's shooting and assassination shocked the entire Star City, even overshadowing the vigilantes.

After all, using a sniper rifle to kill rich and famous people in public is a big deal no matter where you put it.

I believe that with the power of the Star City Police Department and the information Leo deliberately gave, Detective Quentin Lance will be able to discover the truth in just a few days.

There are only a few capable buyers who are interested in Unidak Industries. They only need to investigate carefully and it is easy to find Warren Patel.

However, Leo was too lazy to care about the subsequent development of this matter. He saved Walter Steele and received a favor from Deadshot. This was already a very satisfactory result.

"But why did you let Floyd Lawton go just because of his daughter who was far away in Gotham?"

Ms. Siwa tilted her head and asked with interest.

"The reasons are somewhat complicated. On the one hand, it comes from the appreciation of fellow bad guys and villains. As a killer, Lawton is not without a bottom line. He does not attack women and children, and his professional skills are excellent and he has a good reputation in the industry. On the other hand, it is understanding. Since he retired from the army, Veteran to Deadshot, he’s a man with no options.”

Leo's eyes flashed, and his voice was a little low: "Every villain may not want to become what he will be in the beginning, but he lacks the power to choose. Some people will repeatedly lower their moral bottom line, and then tell themselves that the reason It’s all the world’s fault that it has ended up like this.”

"Some people will go into the darkness, abandon part of their moral conscience and concepts of good and evil, and then try their best to live."

"If we stand on the moral high ground, neither person deserves sympathy, but this does not prevent me from appreciating the latter."

The roar of the sports car echoed in the night sky, and on the silent highway, this roaring beast raced heartily.

"It always feels like you're holding something back."

Ms. Siwa glanced sideways at Leo, with a curved smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Well, you still know me so well. The main reason is that I still don't want to hand over the Deadshot to Amanda Waller. When I first joined the Sky Eye Society, I proposed the concept of superhumans and the plan of the Suicide Squad."

Leo coughed twice and told his true thoughts, "Death Shooter is on the list of members of the Suicide Squad. I don't want to see Amanda Waller gradually grow stronger. This will gradually reduce my importance in the Sky Eye Society."

This world is different from the studio next door. The power at the government level is extremely weak. The more famous one is probably the Sky Eye Society.

Superheroes like Superman and Batman are basically resistant and averse to cooperating with the government. When a crisis or disaster occurs, the Justice League is usually the first to step forward to solve it, and the national government is just like a backdrop.

So Leo saw this as an opportunity, a new and different path.

There is no need to follow the superheroes and endure the constraints of moral principles, nor do they need to be beaten and killed by the Justice League like the villains.

Living in a capital society like the United States, Leo has a natural advantage and can expand his influence from the superstructure.

Entering the Sky Eye Society was just the first step he took.

Early the next morning, White Manor received a rare visitor. Leo was fascinated by the Quinn family's mighty fleet lineup.

Really shocked.

Walter Steele and Moira Queen stepped out of the first two cars, followed by Oliver Queen and his sister Thea, as well as a group of expressionless professional bodyguards.

It seems that Deadshot's wonderful performance has made the wealthy people in Star City panic, and they must be accompanied by bodyguards when traveling.

This is probably the case until the Star City Police Department finds Warren Patel.

"Thank you for everything you did last night. I felt like I had a brush with death at that moment."

The Quinn family sat down in the living room, and Pierpont served them warm black tea and stood quietly aside.

"I just did what I should do, not to mention that a good and honest man like Mr. Steele deserves a happy family. If Mrs. Quinn loses her husband and Oliver and Thea lose their father due to some improper business competition, This inevitably feels unfair.”

Leo said the scene and accepted the gratitude of Walter and Moira. As for Oliver and Thea, the two siblings looked at themselves with slightly different eyes.

The former is observation with scrutiny, while the latter is curious inquiry.

"Just call me Walter. Leo, I'm sorry that we couldn't help you more when Benjamin passed away."

Walter said kindly, with no trace of hypocrisy on his expression.

Leo did not doubt the authenticity of these words. The black uncle in front of him was indeed honest and reliable. He was probably the only person in the Quinn mansion who did not harbor any secrets.

Of course, if it came from Moira's mouth, it would have to be discounted.

A few people were chatting with each other in seemingly eager greetings, discussing the vigilantes that had recently caused heated discussion in the public opinion, or exchanging business plans and ideas.

"My father has always regretted that he has failed the city. He has proposed developing the Palm Lake slum many times, but unfortunately it has never been put on the agenda by the city government."

Leo rambled for a while, and after showing off his excellent side, he started to get to the point.

His careless and sincere look with a hint of pity makes people believe that he has carefully studied Stanislavsky's acting works.

"I'm also surprised why Star City can ignore the existence of Palm Lake, those abandoned factories, homeless homeless people, people are dying every day, but we turn a blind eye."

Honest people are indeed easily fooled. When Walter heard Leo mention this, he immediately took over.

He didn't notice at all that his wife Moira's expression changed and her eyes became evasive.

"I have communicated with Mayor Cecil. There are several main problems in the development of the Palm Lake slum. On the one hand, community improvement requires a lot of manpower and material resources. On the other hand, there is the complexity of crowd flow and abandoned factories. placement issues.”

Leo put on a very professional look, and Walter listened very carefully.

He is currently at the helm of Quinn Conglomerates and is quite familiar with the current situation in the Palm Lake ghetto.

Originally, after Oliver returned, Walter and Moira wanted to hand over the Quinn Conglomerate to him to avoid gossip from the outside world.

After all, he and Thea were the true heirs of Robert Queen, who died in a shipwreck.

But Oliver, who wanted to be a vigilante and save the city, didn't want to take over the family business at all, and deliberately showed a dissolute side. After disappointing his mother Moira, he walked away.

Therefore, the current CEO of Quinn Consolidated Enterprises is still Walter Steele.

Theoretically, he has the authority to decide all day-to-day business activities of the company.

"I have an idea to buy the abandoned factory land in Palm Lake at a low price. It can be built into a refinery for White Industries to provide job opportunities for people in slums, or it can be demolished and rezoned. As for community rectification and improvement, the White Charitable Foundation is willing Most of the capital expenditures are sponsored free of charge for this purpose.”

Hearing these words, Walter's dark face was full of admiration, and he believed even more that Leo was a kind and enthusiastic man.

He kept nodding, claiming that he would also propose proposals to the board of directors and implement them quickly.

Before leaving, Walter squeezed Leo's hand tightly, as if he had met a like-minded revolutionary comrade.

As for the expression on Oliver's face, it changed from suspicion to hesitation, as if he thought he had guessed something wrong.

"Everything is for Star City, we should stand up as we should."

Leo said loudly, with an impassioned tone like a truly free philanthropist.
