Chapter 358

~5 min read 964 words

Having removed the explosive chips and regained control over their own lives, the Suicide Squad members were all beaming with joy, one after another patting their chests to express their gratitude and loyalty to Su Quan.

Su Quan was noncommittal about this.

Without an emotional foundation, without a foundation of trust, just because his strength was great and because he helped them remove the explosive chips, would they be devoted to him?

Don't be ridiculous!

Is there such a thing as a promise being worth a thousand gold?

Yes!

But very few.

Most of the time, it's weighing the pros and cons!

If it were him in their shoes, it would likewise be impossible to be devotedly loyal to someone just like that!

Not to mention other aspects, just the fact that they had finally gotten rid of the explosive chips, gotten rid of Amanda Waller's control, and gained freedom—how could they turn around and willingly risk their lives for another person?

The essence of human nature is selfishness.

These people in the Suicide Squad, counting one by one, are either villains or anti-heroes; expecting them to sacrifice their freedom and their lives because of a promise is simply—nonsense to the extreme!

So Su Quan didn't ask them anything at all, nor did he ask them to make any guarantees; what happened next would depend entirely on their own self-awareness and whether they were smart enough.

Anyway, one more of them wasn't too many, and one less wasn't too few.

Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish, that's all.

Currently, the only two who were relatively unlucky were Captain Boomerang and Poison Ivy; Captain Boomerang had no ability but was blindly showing off—others hadn't even made a sound, and he had already made a move against Su Quan.

If he didn't die, who would?

As for Poison Ivy, it was because she was entangled by Harley Quinn.

Ever since Harley Quinn became Harley Quinn, her body movements had become particularly rich; others had already removed their explosive chips one after another, leaving only Poison Ivy entangled by Harley Quinn like an octopus, with no chance to get up at all.

So much so that Poison Ivy finally got ruthless and took a fierce bite at Harley Quinn.

The strong toxin directly infected Harley Quinn, and in just a few dozen seconds, Harley Quinn's face turned ferocious and she died.

Poison Ivy struggled to break free from Harley Quinn's hands and feet and walked quickly toward Su Quan.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Dionysian Factor (Harley Quinn)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Plant Control (Poison Ivy)"

Poison Ivy stood in front of Su Quan and said seriously: "I can control plants, I can secrete toxins, and I can be immune to any toxicity."

"As long as you give me a certain amount of freedom and an environment where plants can grow freely, I can truly be loyal to you!"

"Of course, the premise is that you must remove the explosive chip from my body and promise me that if you can't meet my conditions, you must set me free to leave."

Su Quan smiled: "I can agree to your conditions, but—why do you have the right to set conditions for me, and why should I agree to your conditions?"

Poison Ivy looked at the other members of the Suicide Squad calmly and said lightly: "Because I am different from them, I am more valuable—and I am truly loyal to you and will not easily betray you."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are you saying we aren't truly loyal?"

"Exactly!"

"We won't easily betray you either."

Black Spider and Bronze Tiger and the others were immediately unhappy; Poison Ivy, it's fine if you want to elevate yourself, but you can't step on us to get ahead—isn't this just making trouble for us!

Su Quan ignored their infighting and just said lightly to Poison Ivy: "I won't listen to what you say, but I will watch what you do; I hope you can match your words with your actions!"

As his voice fell, Su Quan reached his hand directly toward Poison Ivy's neck.

A few seconds later, the explosive chip on Poison Ivy was taken out, but it wasn't casually crushed like the others' explosive chips.

Su Quan made a casual gesture toward a certain spot, and the bloody Joker was directly dragged over.

The Suicide Squad recognized the Joker; with that level of explosion just now, and the Joker still being at the center of the explosion, it was normal for him to be blown to death—after all, a flesh-and-blood body couldn't possibly withstand the power of the explosion; in the end, he was just a mortal—a mortal?

How is that possible?!

The Suicide Squad members widened their eyes in disbelief; the Joker, who should have been dead, had actually opened his eyes.

He, he didn't die?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

With that level of explosion, even if the Joker had been prepared, he couldn't have survived.

Unless he possessed the ability to self-heal or resurrect from the dead!

But the information provided by Amanda Waller didn't say the Joker had such an ability.

It only said the Joker was a high-IQ criminal who was unfathomable—oh, and he also killed Batman's assistant, Robin!

The Joker didn't even look at the Suicide Squad, just glanced at the explosive chip in Su Quan's hand and said in a very regretful tone: "It seems the Joker has to continue living."

Su Quan smiled and said: "You kidnapped James Gordon just to make the Joker disappear?"

The Joker said: "I originally wanted to verify whether people would change; you know, Commissioner Gordon is not simple—besides the little bat, he is the most interesting one."
