Chapter 358

~5 min read 929 words

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

Su Quan was noncommittal about this.

No emotional foundation, no foundation of trust—just because he was strong and helped them remove the explosive chips, would they be loyal to him to the death?

Don't be ridiculous!

Does the concept of a promise being worth a thousand gold exist?

It does!

But it's rare.

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

If he were in their shoes, it would also be impossible to be loyal to someone to the death just like that!

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

The essence of human nature is selfishness.

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

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

Anyway, one more or one less didn't make a difference.

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

Currently, the only two who were unlucky were Captain Boomerang and Poison Ivy. Captain Boomerang had no ability but was blindly showing off; while everyone else hadn't made a sound, he had eagerly attacked 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 the Joker's girl, her body movements had become particularly rich. Others had removed their explosive chips one after another, leaving only Poison Ivy, who was entangled by Harley Quinn like an octopus, with no chance to get up.

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 as she died.

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

"Ding!"

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

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, reward dropped: 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 pledge my loyalty to you!"

"Of course, the premise is that you must remove the explosive chip from my body and promise me that if you cannot meet my conditions, you must let me leave freely."

Su Quan smiled: "I can agree to your conditions, but—why should you make conditions for me, and why should I agree to your conditions?"

Poison Ivy looked at the other Suicide Squad members 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 we not truly loyal?"

"Yeah!"

"We won't betray you easily either."

Black Spider and Bronze Tiger were immediately unhappy. Poison Ivy, it's fine if you want to elevate yourself, but you can't step on us to do it; isn't this just trying to make us look bad?

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 the words fell, Su Quan reached directly for Poison Ivy's neck.

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

Su Quan gestured casually toward a certain spot, and the bloodied Joker was dragged over directly.

The Suicide Squad recognized the Joker. With an explosion of that magnitude, and the Joker being at the center of it, 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 mor—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 an inscrutable high-IQ criminal; 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, "Looks like the Joker has to keep on living."

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

The Joker said, "I originally wanted to verify if people would change. You know, Commissioner Gordon is no simple man; besides the little bat, he's the most interesting one."
