Anti-hero of a certain comic

71. I don’t accept it.

Sitting in the warden's office, Oliver Queen, after saying those words, a cold smile appeared on the corners of his pursed lips.

At this moment, he finally understood that the original feeling of revenge was so satisfying.

Even though he hadn't broken Leo White's neck with his own hands, he saw his glaring eyes full of unwillingness, and his body fell down slumped and powerless.

Oliver Queen still felt extremely happy, and the fire of revenge that was always burning in his heart seemed to have diminished a bit because of this.

The ninja master is indeed right. The best way to calm down anger is to complete revenge.

"What would you choose?"

Oliver Queen put down the intercom and whispered softly.

Just like the two choices Leo White gave, he also gave two choices with malicious intent.

Entering Iron Mountain Prison alone is equivalent to putting your life in your own hands.

And releasing the prisoners means putting all the pressure on Leo White himself.

No matter what he chooses, the young man who planned the conspiracy and sent himself to prison will have to face an inner struggle.

And this is exactly what Oliver Queen wants to see.

"Did you do something wrong?"

Leo's voice came from the other end of the intercom. He seemed a little stunned and surprised, and then showed a funny emotion, as if he had heard some interesting joke.

"Mr. Quinn, do you think I'm here to negotiate with you or do you think you still have this extremely simple concept of good and evil in your heart? I thought the ninja master would brainwash you more thoroughly."

Before Oliver Queen could answer, Leo's voice sounded again, mixed with "rustling" noises.

"Please, why do you always have to put me or others in a position where they will be subject to moral condemnation or conscience questioning."

Oliver Queen was speechless. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but couldn't find the words to refute.

For no apparent reason, the prison inmate who had given up his past identity and name recalled the conversation on the rooftop.

"Maybe I'm going to disappoint you, Mr. Quinn. I didn't come here to play a choice game with you, or to negotiate with police and robbers. That would be too cliché and boring."

Leo's words were mixed with noise, giving off an unreal feeling.

The joy in Oliver Queen's heart gradually disappeared, replaced by the powerless resentment of losing the dominance of the conversation again.

"I'm here to give you an ultimatum. You have one hour to consider whether to release the hostages from the prison or surrender to the police."

"Otherwise, how are you going to send troops to demolish this prison?"

Upon hearing Leo's request, Oliver Queen couldn't help but sneer.

Instead, he now felt that the other party was bluffing and trying to take the initiative in the conversation.

Oliver Queen, who occupied this prison, really couldn't think of any leverage that Leo White had to make him do the kind of behavior above.

Because of the friendly "help" from the Assassin's League, he led the felons in Area B, successfully took many hostages and seized the gun storage room.

Nearly two hundred prisoners possess 911 pistols, Springfield rifles, and weapons such as tear gas and batons. There is no need to worry about the Star City Police Department launching a storm.

The mobilization of the state's National Guard requires permission from the state government and approval at various levels, which takes at least an hour and a half.

In addition, there are many hostages in the prison. Even if the National Guard is dispatched, they will not be able to use firepower recklessly due to the hostages. They will eventually have to return to the negotiation situation.

This is also where Oliver Queen’s confidence lies.

"You can turn on the TV and have a look, Mr. Quinn."

Leo didn't say much and cut off the call directly.

There was only half of the 5 minutes given by Oliver Queen, but he had no idea of ​​negotiating.

He didn't seem to care at all about the 160 hostages in the prison.

Sitting in the warden's office, Oliver Queen hesitated for a moment, and finally turned on the TV.

The first thing that caught my eye was the news title from Star City TV.

This kind of midnight news generally has little ratings, and most of its listeners are taxi drivers or insomniacs who are alone at home.

But this time, they got some breaking news

A piece of news that will shock the entire Star City when the sun rises.

"Welcome to Star City Online News Network. I am the host Miles Clive. Just four and ten minutes ago, this station received the latest news. International terrorists infiltrated Star City and tried to detonate a dirty bomb at the White Industrial Group building. , according to the reply given by the Star City Police Department, they had received the news in advance and successfully prevented this terrorist attack."

"In this regard, Chief Superintendent David and Mr. Mayor have stated that they will never compromise with terrorists and will fight bravely."

"Now please direct the director to switch the screen and let us connect with the reporters outside the venue."

After reading the news, Oliver Queen frowned and seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.

He picked up the radio again and contacted the Star City Police Department outside the prison.

"This is your bargaining chip to threaten me."

"No. After you kill the first hostage in one minute, I will ask the Star City Police Department to speak to the media and claim that international terrorists are planning a riot in Iron Mountain Prison in order to attract the attention of the police. Carrying out large-scale terrorist attacks.”

Leo's voice was calm, ignoring Quentin Lance's gaze, and said softly: "Due to the failure of the plan, the terrorists massacred everyone in the prison, detonated high explosives, and destroyed the entire prison."

"This is my bargaining chip to threaten you."

"You think I care about 160 hostages when I don't even care about the lives of the other 630 prisoners."

"Oliver Queen, I told you a long time ago, don't use the so-called moral shackles to consider a villain, a thug, a bad person because it doesn't work, they have a thousand ways to convince themselves, these are other people The fault has nothing to do with me.”

When Leo finished these words, there were only 12 seconds left before Oliver Queen killed the first hostage.

The hooded man sitting in the warden's office should have asked the prisoners to randomly select one of the hostages, push him to a high place on the rooftop, and shoot him to death in front of the Star City Police Department, in order to put pressure on the police. .

However, as the master who controls this prison, Oliver Queen has yet to issue an order.

"Okay, the last time has passed, it seems we still have room for discussion."

Leo raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and continued: "Congratulations on sitting back at the negotiating table. Mr. Quinn, you know that I am not intimidating or threatening you, and you also know that I will really do such a thing. , and after the whole incident is over, I can enjoy dinner without any psychological pressure."

"This is one of the few benefits of being a villain. People like me don't get flowers and honors, and there is no so-called glorious image that everyone admires. The only advantage is that I am not afraid of any threats."

"If you use the lives of innocent people as a bargaining chip, I will eradicate you and those people; if you use my friends or relatives as threats, then I will use your blood to commemorate them after remembering them."
