Chapter 464: Felicity and the Death-Seeking Gas Man (Fourth update, please subscribe!)
Star Labs, or rather Team Flash, currently has the primary mission of searching for metahumans affected by the particle accelerator explosion.
At least, that is what Caitlin thinks.
But Barry Allen, who is single-mindedly devoted to helping others, and Cisco Ramon, who loves to join in on the fun, do not think so.
The two of them secretly team up; whenever Cisco discovers a dangerous situation or a need for help, he notifies Barry Allen to go save people.
Fires? Car accidents? Robberies? Thefts?
Barry Allen seems to have truly become the lightning bolt guarding the city; wherever there is danger, he appears.
Until—
They were discovered by Caitlin!
At first, Caitlin's attitude was very firm; she believed Barry Allen is not a police officer and should not shoulder police responsibilities or do the work police are supposed to do.
But who is Barry Allen?
The conscience of the Justice League, a great man who loves to help others, and the epitome of "with great power comes great responsibility."
He is the kind of "Talk-no-Jutsu" hero who claims to be the fastest man alive but deliberately holds back whenever he encounters enemies, adhering to the principle of using words rather than fists, relying on his mouth to convince people!
Even the most heinous villains can be persuaded by his speeches, let alone the kind-hearted Caitlin?
She was persuaded, and then she joined.
And then, they discovered a new metahuman.
Danton Black, a former employee of Stagg Industries CEO Simon Stagg, launched a revenge plot against Simon Stagg.
Danton Black was originally a clinical researcher at Stagg Industries and a biological geneticist, specializing in therapeutic cloning to cultivate new organs to replace necrotic ones.
Just as he was about to succeed, Simon Stagg halted his experiment and fired him. Even worse, he stole his results, claimed them as his own, and shamelessly accepted related scientific awards.
But these things were not important to Danton Black; the main reason for his revenge was his wife.
His research was meant to save his wife, but Simon Stagg's actions caused his wife, who had already seen a glimmer of hope, to lose her chance and die.
He himself, due to the particle accelerator explosion, gained the ability to split himself—the Multiplex.
Su Quan did not participate in this operation. In his view, Simon Stagg deserved to die; having vengeance for vengeance and grievances for grievances is the cycle of heaven. Unfortunately, our Flash does not think so, or rather, heroes do not think so!
Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, killing is forbidden, especially when he knows about it.
The Flash failed a few times, and then, with the support of Team Flash and the encouragement of Joe West, he finally defeated the Multiplex.
It's just that—seeing that revenge was hopeless, the Multiplex rejected the Flash's salvation and voluntarily fell off the building to his death.
The Flash felt a bit low because he failed to save him.
This also confirms Su Quan's long-held view: being friends with heroes is excellent; if you encounter danger, they will risk their lives to save you, even if you are a bad person, they will not deal a lethal blow.
But as subordinates or like-minded companions, villains are more agreeable.
For example, Lisa Snart, for example, the Reverse-Flash Harrison Wells; when concepts align, getting along is very pleasant.
So, after the matter ended, when Harrison Wells quietly found Simon Stagg, who was trying to find the Flash, and killed him, Su Quan's mood was very pleasant.
Silently, in the CEO's office of Void Medical, he gave him a "like."
Speaking of Void Medical, one person must be mentioned. The reason Su Quan can rest easy as a hands-off boss and rarely go to the company is mainly because he has a capable and trustworthy executive CEO.
Given Su Quan's style, it is easy to imagine that this executive CEO would certainly not be a nobody.
She is an IT genius.
She is a superb hacker and computer expert.
At nineteen, she had already achieved second place in the National Information Technology Competition.
She earned a Master's degree in Cybersecurity and Computer Science from MIT.
Yes, she is Felicity Smoak!
How could Su Quan be indifferent to such talent and let her follow the original trajectory, joining Queen Consolidated as an inconspicuous cybersecurity employee?
Even if she later became a member of Team Arrow and founded Smoak Technologies, it would be far less developmental than working for him.
Although this means she would have no chance to get to know Oliver Queen deeply, and it might cause the future timeline where his beloved Blackstar, Mia Smoak, exists to disappear.
However, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush; without Felicity, Su Quan would never have founded Void Medical.
At this moment.
Su Quan is shopping at the mall. Well, it is another beautiful day of being a hands-off boss. Felicity has been busy with work lately and is very tired, and Caitlin is also busy with Team Flash matters and has no time to shop.
As their boss, Su Quan feels he should urgently address their needs, think of what they think, and prepare a few gifts for them to make their moods more pleasant, and then—better reward himself.
With several bags in his left hand and several in his right, Su Quan entered the elevator. Just as he was about to press the button, a middle-aged woman in professional attire carrying several bags entered.
They nodded at each other in a friendly manner and pressed the buttons. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand reached in.
The elevator door sensed it automatically and slowly opened.
A man in a trench coat walked in.
Su Quan frowned slightly; this guy doesn't look like a good person!
Not only is he bald, he has no eyebrows. Not having eyebrows is one thing, but he is staring at the middle-aged woman with a fierce look. Staring at the woman with a fierce look is one thing, but he is actually ignoring me!
What is this? Are you planning to kill only her and not me, or do you think I'm just a small shrimp caught in the crossfire, not worth your attention?
Yes, Su Quan recognized who he is; he is the Gas Man who can turn into toxic gas!
The middle-aged woman beside him is one of the targets of his revenge!
"Ahem!" Su Quan coughed twice, looked at the Gas Man, and said, "Can I get off?"
The Gas Man raised an eyebrow—well, although he had no eyebrows, he could still raise the ridge.
He glanced at Su Quan and shook his head: "No!"
Alright then, since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me.
Su Quan did not argue; he simply slowly put down the bags in both his hands.
The Gas Man glanced at them, ignored his actions, and said to the middle-aged woman with a proud and arrogant expression: "Judge Howard, I'm very glad to see you again."
