Chapter 3835: The Nameless Bat (16)

"Yeah, the Federation that belongs to Batman." Luthor gave a light hum and said, "He really made the United States of America unique."

Luthor's tone was very complicated; besides anger and hatred, there was also indescribable appreciation and jealousy. His gaze also moved from Schiller's face to the window next to him. Although Cat Getan's overcast and rainy daytime had nothing to look at, he was still staring at the distant clouds in a daze. A kind of paranoia based on his personality, which could only be reflected after failure, was fully revealed at this moment.

"We won't discuss this." Schiller said, "If you are willing to cooperate, I can introduce you to a high-level psychologist after everything is over. But now, tell me, what is going on with the scandal between the President and Mrs. Romanoff?"

The muscles at the tail of Luthor's brow lifted immediately. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Schiller, saying: "Why not talk about this? Because you think I am completely incomparable to him now? Think I am a complete failure?"

"Fine, I'll change the way." Schiller adjusted his sitting posture and said, "If you don't explain the scandal to me, I'll let Superman come and see your current state, let him know that you have completely lost to Batman in politics, economy, and force. He will definitely sympathize with you, what do you think?"

"It was indeed me who did it." Luthor answered very crisply, "Now, go find some work for him on the southwest coast of Australia."

"The purpose?" Schiller continued to ask.

"I don't like Wei En's new economic policy very much; this is one of my methods to interfere with the policy promulgation process."

"The murder case?"

"What murder case?"

"Wei En Group security department supervisor."

"That has nothing to do with me." Luthor said, "Do you think I killed them and then framed Wei En? If that were the case, I would choose to kill a more important figure, rather than that waste Abidonis."

"The Abidonis couple once argued because of the Trans-Atlantic fund you established."

"That's their private matter, it has nothing to do with me."

"What's going on with the fund?"

"That's my legal economic activity."

"What are you doing in Cat Getan?"

"Striving for investment from Stagg Group."

"Anything else to say?"

"I will have my legal team fight for the greatest rights and interests for me, including your charges of speeding and injuring people, intent to frame, and illegal means of collecting evidence."

"Very good, I like your attitude very much, especially when you are lying on the hospital bed in our medical center." Schiller turned to the nurse at the door and said, "Adjust his pain pump to a safe value, the safest kind."

The nurse walked over and twisted the pain pump. Before ten seconds had passed, Luthor let out a low groan of pain, his fingers tightly gripping the hospital bed's guardrail, his face turning white from pain.

"Now, anything else to say?"

"You damn... bastard... blue-skinned dog... Wei En government's eagle dog... I will... I will kill you!!!"

Schiller looked down at the information on his phone, didn't raise his head and said: "You should know that I would carry a law enforcement recorder, right?... You mean you can explain to the judge that this is just the language system confusion symptom brought about by you hitting your head in the car accident? Then what about Superman? What does he think of you insulting law enforcement officers?"

Luthor hammered the hospital bed guardrail hard.

"He thinks you are evil, cunning, and always full of inexplicable hostility toward him, but he can't deny that you are a person of quality, and your temperament and etiquette are far superior to him, this country bumpkin. But if he heard you cursing like a Kansas country farmer, he probably wouldn't even have the last bit of appreciation left, right?"

"Oh, I said it wrong." Schiller shook his head and said, "Kansas country farmers aren't as afraid of pain as you; they can even persist for three days under the pain of acute appendicitis, and can also drive a tractor to finish harvesting the last crop of spring wheat. If Superman saw you like this, he would understand that the superiority you and he both think is taken for granted should never have existed. The things beneath the moral high ground you stand on are fragile and collapse at a touch."

Schiller leaned his body forward, looking into Luthor's eyes and saying: "Do you think this is a good thing, Mr. Luthor? Should I help him realize this?"

Luthor's fist swung toward Schiller, and Schiller tilted his head to dodge it. He reached out and twisted the button of the pain pump. About tens of seconds later, Luthor stopped tightly gripping the armrest, but he began to tremble all over.

"Turn it down... turn that damn thing down!" Luthor's pupils were a bit dilated, and he said, "I'm not a drug addict, you must follow the safe dosage..."

"As safe as just now?"

Luthor was a bit unable to speak. This strong body, which had been well-maintained by him and almost never used painkillers, had a very large reaction to the painkiller. The euphoria rushed directly to the brain, and in just a few seconds, countless hallucination fragments flashed before his eyes.

"Tell me, what other secrets are behind this matter?" Schiller asked, "Mr. Luthor, you are very smart, you should understand that from the moment you fell into my hands, trying to hide anything will only make you suffer more. If I didn't have the confidence to ask everything, I wouldn't have stepped on the accelerator."

"I will sue you! You damn... damn lunatic! I will peel off this skin of yours..."

"On what grounds? Violent law enforcement?" Schiller was still very calm, and he said, "The blade is returned to the scabbard only because the owner doesn't need it for the time being, not because the enemy evaluates it as too sharp. You understand this point, right?"

Schiller turned the pain pump back to the normal value. Luthor lay on the hospital bed for a good while, and the cracks in the ceiling flickered in his vision. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Not long ago, someone sent me an email..."

20 minutes later, Schiller walked out of the ward and closed the ward door. Seeing Natasha had long been waiting outside, and she said: "How is it? This guy is very difficult to deal with, right?"

Schiller looked at her, and the meaning in his eyes was "Why do you say that?"

"Superman just pulled me to count the bad things Luthor has done one by one." Seeing Natasha frowned slightly and said, "Even if it's just a few words, one can see that this person is very cautious, basically watertight. It's very difficult to interrogate such a person."

"Yes, ordinary interrogation methods don't work."

"Then what method did you use?"

"Civilized law enforcement." Schiller said.

"What?"

"Make good use of medical law enforcement means in modern human civilization."

"Speak human language."

"Morphine."

The two walked to the office and sat down opposite each other at a table. Schiller took off the law enforcement recorder and placed it aside, and showed the photos he took to Seeing Natasha on his phone.

"What is this?"

"This is the inbox of Luthor's private email that he showed me." Schiller took back his phone, looked at the picture on it and said, "Not long ago, he received an anonymous email, and it was this email that gave him the inspiration to establish the Trans-Atlantic Economic Policy Reserve Fund."

Seeing Natasha frowned and said: "I remember, the person who attacked me also received an email."

"Yes, and all emails cannot be traced to the source." Schiller shook his phone and said, "Luthor's one is the same. This proves that the other party is not afraid of the technical means of law enforcement agencies, and is not even afraid of the technical means of the Luthor Group. This is very strange."

"The other party must be a brilliant hacker." Seeing Natasha said, "Unfortunately, in this universe, we don't have an electronic butler like Jarvis to monitor every move on the internet, otherwise we would definitely be able to ferret him out."

"This is exactly what we need to think about." Schiller said, "The mastermind targets you, proving that he has some understanding of you. Since he has an understanding of you, perhaps he also understands your origin universe, and maybe he also knows Jarvis. Batman can bring you over, so he could bring Jarvis over. In this case, why would he have the confidence that he wouldn't be discovered?"

Seeing Natasha hadn't thought about this train of thought, and she said: "Most people are underestimating Jarvis's level. Many people only know he is an electronic life, the former electronic butler of the Stark Group, but have no concept of how strong he is. Maybe the mastermind is also like this."

"Then we can also infer based on this, what is the biggest difference between you and Jarvis?"

Schiller's thinking was a bit jumpy, and Seeing Natasha didn't react for a while. But soon she realized: "I am not much different from other Black Widows in the universe, whether it's appearance or ability; I cannot say that I have an essential difference from them. But Jarvis is different; other universes don't have Jarvis—I mean, they don't have that kind of Jarvis."

"Yes, the Jarvis in other universes has already become Vision, and in most universes, Vision doesn't have such strong control over the network, and the part of electronic life on him has disappeared almost completely. You are very similar to Black Widows in other universes, but Jarvis is very different from Jarvis in other universes. This is the difference between you."

"The mastermind targets you because he knows Black Widow is very powerful; he adopts this electronic intrusion method because he doesn't know how powerful Jarvis is. From this, it can be inferred that he cannot be from your universe, otherwise he would have thought that you might go find Jarvis. In that case, he wouldn't have adopted such an online method to manipulate others. It's more likely that he came into contact with Black Widows from other universes through the Battleworld, recognized you, and then tried to target you."

"It's good that he's not from my universe." Seeing Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and said, "However, how did he recognize me? I mean, I haven't carried out any public missions since coming here, where did he see me?"

"This is also a key question." Schiller said, "Luthor told me that the mastermind hinted in the email that if Luthor united the helmsmen of the East Coast financial industry to oppose the new policy, Wei En President might take extreme measures. He reminded Luthor to pay attention to the people around Wei En."

"So Luthor bought off the information security supervisor and used camera No. 14 to capture my face?"

"No, it wasn't him who bought off the information security supervisor, but he asked the person who sent him the email to hope that he could provide clues related to Wei En. So the other party sent him that photo and revealed your name."

"Not strange." Seeing Natasha leaned back against the chair and said, "If Luthor is indeed a very cunning person, then it's impossible for him to be completely manipulated by the person in the email. It's more like they made a deal: Luthor did what he said and established the fund, and accordingly, the other party also had to help him."

"Exactly, they are in a cooperative relationship."

"So to speak, the death of the information security department supervisor was done by the mastermind who sent the email?"

"It's possible. And, he tried to pin this black pot on Luthor using the argument before the Abidonis couple died, because what caused their argument was precisely the fund Luthor established. Before long, the little girl will reveal this information to the police, even if it may not be used as evidence, it may trigger public suspicion of the Luthor Group."

"Truly ingenious." Seeing Natasha couldn't help but sigh, "First established a fund in cooperation with Luthor, then let Luthor make a request to him, use me to damage the reputation of the Wei En Group and the President, then silence the department supervisor who provided the photo, frame it on the Luthor Group, and damage the reputation of the Luthor Group. If no one discovers all this, then the Wei En Group and the Luthor Group will both think these things were done by the other side, and the two sides will definitely fight to the death."

"Yes, Batman didn't take action against the Luthor Group, just waiting for an opportunity. Now that such a thing has happened, it's hard for the two sides to drag it out any longer. Either Batman steps down, or Luthor gets out."

"Is the mastermind's purpose to provoke the two sides to kill each other?"

"Yes, the Luthor Group is a hard bone to chew; if one has to chew it down now, Batman will probably also be hurt. If one is not careful and affects the livelihood of Metropolis, Superman won't be willing either. Everything the mastermind has done is to weaken Batman's power."

"Wait, could there also be something suspicious about Wonder Woman's matter?"
