Chapter 4366: Justice League: Assembly (21)

No matter what you want to come here for, you won't get what you want from me. The Queen looked into his eyes and said: "Go back, I'll pretend today's matter never happened."

Orm naturally couldn't let it go. When he realized that the benefits to be gained from the Amazon tribe were even greater than he had imagined, he wouldn't calculate the risk of offending such a tribe, but instead greedily wanted to bite a piece of meat off them.

"Queen, your warriors injured my subordinates. Are you trying to provoke Atlantis?!!"

"Can you represent Atlantis?" The Queen wasn't in a hurry at all. She turned back, sat down on her seat, and then said, "If I remember correctly, you haven't succeeded to the throne yet. Even the King of Atlantis recognized by the Seven Seas wouldn't dare speak to me like this."

Orm was instead somewhat intimidated by the Queen. He didn't understand where the Queen's confidence came from. But since he had already reached this step, he absolutely couldn't give up. He said: "Atlantis only has one heir, I am the future King of Atlantis. Your subordinates are so rude to me, you have to give me an explanation, right?"

"What explanation do you want?"

"Where is the Golden Trident?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," the Queen said, "The Amazon and Atlantis indeed had some intersections, but that was already thousands of years ago. We have no intention of having a conflict with the Sea People, but you had better not treat us as soft persimmons. Kina, see the guests out!"

Orm's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to flare up, the female warrior next to him walked up and forced them to retreat out of the palace with a spear. This place was land, which was unfavorable for them to exert their strength, so Orm could only leave in a sorry state.

After he left, the Amazon Queen's face sank. She said: "He is very wrong. Remind all places to be strictly on guard, don't let him find a loophole."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those people can't beat us."

The Queen shook her head and said: "That's only because we are on land now. If we were in the sea, it would be hard to say."

"Are they that strong?" one of the female officials asked.

"The ocean is the territory of the Atlanteans. Although our warriors are strong and brave, we still can't compete with them in the sea. In short, pay more attention."

After returning to the ocean, Orm roared like a madman. He had never suffered such humiliation, and he must give this group of damned women a taste of his power.

Orm attributed his failure to the fact that he hadn't figured out the other party's background before rashly going ashore, which led to him being caught by the female warriors. They indeed weren't good at fighting on land, and the effect that water magic could have was too limited.

However, the Amazon was, after all, a Mediterranean country. As long as it was the ocean, it must be the home field of the Atlanteans. He must get this back.

However, their manpower was still a bit too thin right now, making it very inconvenient to do things. At least they had to conquer one of the Seven Seas first to have enough manpower to do things.

Orm already had a plan. He immediately turned around and swam toward another sea area.

Almost at the same time, Arthur and Mera also came to the Amazon, but they used the regular entry process. The Amazon's tourism industry was relatively developed, and it was also visa-free for the United States. Arthur directly took his U. S. passport and flew over, while Mera could use magic to become invisible, experiencing the feeling of flying for the first time.

After getting off the plane, Mera was still a bit dizzy, and the Mediterranean sun was even more intense, making her feel like she was going to be melted. Turning her head, Arthur put a hat on her and then stuffed her with sunglasses.

"Put these on first, I'll take you to a clothing store to look around. There aren't any good clothes in our town, you can't just wear this to see the Queen, it's too impolite."

Mera was somewhat surprised. She looked at Arthur and then said: "How do you know these?"

Arthur was instead somewhat confused as he looked at her and said: "How do I not know? Isn't this common sense?"

"What common sense? This is knowledge that only the royal family would learn. You've never been to Atlantis, how do you know these?"

Arthur was speechless. He said: "Don't you think humans are savages? If you're talking about etiquette and rules, the United States is considered good; this bunch of old Europeans are the troublesome ones."

Mera curled her lips. She really didn't understand humans. Arthur just said: "Don't look at me as being born in a small town, I've lived in a big city too. There's a super big aquarium there, and I can talk to fish..."

"Aquarium? But isn't the ocean right by your house? Do you still need to specially set up a museum?"

"The one by my house is a cold-water ocean, but the museum has creatures from all kinds of oceans, there are all kinds of tropical fish, and even sharks. When I was young, I liked going to the aquarium the most. They couldn't understand what those fish were saying, only I could understand." Arthur grinned at her.

"That's great," Mera said, "Your father must love you very much."

"Yes, during the non-fishing season, he would go to the big city to work, and bring me along. Although we could only live in the basement at that time, always wearing old clothes, eating sandwiches, that was my happiest time."

"And that was also when I gradually understood how human society operates. At that time, my dad went to apply for a job as a lighting engineer, but didn't succeed in the end, because they felt he was dressed too old-fashioned and didn't seem serious enough. I got along pretty well with the kids on my street, but if I left this neighborhood, others looked at me like they were looking at a piece of shit."

"Because you weren't dressed well, right?" Mera thought for a moment and said.

Arthur nodded and said: "Yes, from that time on I understood that if you want others to respect you and listen to you, you have to package yourself to look decent first. I booked a room at a hotel nearby, after buying clothes, we'll go change, and then find a way to find the Queen."

Mera nodded, but immediately became somewhat hesitant. She said: "Humans have to spend money to buy things, right? Do you have money?"

"Right now I don't," Arthur spread his hands without any scruples and then said, "But isn't there someone begging us to do things?"

After saying that, he stopped in front of a store, opened his phone, dialed a previous number, and said: "Hello, A. R. G. U. S.? It's me, Arthur. It's like this, we are on our way to find the Golden Trident, but you also know we need some operating expenses..."

Even though the other side couldn't see, Arthur still rubbed his fingers lightly, made a money gesture, and then said: "I think you also know that inflation in Europe is quite severe recently..."

Less than a minute later, Arthur saw the eight-figure U. S. dollars arrive in his account, and all ten of his fingers started trembling.

At the same time, the few agents standing behind Schiller also started trembling. Schiller, however, remained calm and said: "If you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf. We usually only spend a bit of phone bill money, if we don't use such a large sum of funds now, are we waiting for it to be used as severance pay?"

The agents had to admit that what he said made sense. Now the money issue was easier to solve. If spending a few hundred million could move the Capitol building back, the President would spend it even if it came out of his own pocket. After all, the calls for a recount were getting louder and louder, and the President's hair had been pulled out until there wasn't much left.

Mera curiously leaned over to look at Arthur's phone screen, but she only knew how to speak some English and didn't recognize the letters, so she asked: "How much money did he give you? Is it enough? If it's not enough, I have some jewelry here..."

Arthur reached out a hand to stop her from saying more and then said: "Follow me."

The two turned around directly, left the entrance of the clothing mall, and headed straight for the luxury car dealership. Ten minutes later, an extremely eye-catching and flashy Lamborghini drove out. Arthur drove directly to the luxury street and pushed Mera into the door.

Mera looked at the human luxury store with some curiosity, although it wasn't much more luxurious than Atlantis, land was brighter than the sea, so these luxury jewelry looked even brighter, and Sea People liked shiny things very much.

However, she still had a sense of proportion, deliberately slowed down a few steps, walked shoulder to shoulder with Arthur, and then asked in a low voice: "Can I pick a few pieces?"

"Pick as many as you want, if it's not enough, ask for more."

Mera understood immediately. She wasn't shy either, walked generously to the jewelry counter, took a look, and then said: "This, this, and this, don't take these three, pack everything else for me."

Immediately following that was the clothing store. Mera adjusted the huge jewelry necklace hanging on her neck, raised her head, and walked in. The shop assistants instantly welcomed them with beaming smiles. Mera said: "Please help me pick a gown, I have an important guest to meet tomorrow... Yes, royal banquet, maybe I can even have a few words with the Queen."

The shop assistants didn't just look at the car and jewelry being valuable; the key was that Arthur and Mera's figures didn't look like ordinary people either. Sea People were born with good figures, their appearances were also very handsome, and more importantly, their hair quality was simply too good. Not to mention Arthur's thick hair and beard, just Mera's red hair, it couldn't be this smooth if it wasn't maintained for less than three hours every day.

These were all signs of rich people. Luxury store shop assistants had the sharpest eyes, and whatever beautiful gowns there were, they all brought them to Mera. Mera had a good figure, tried on one set after another, and there wasn't a single set that looked ugly, so in the end, she packed them all.

Even those bizarre clothes that had been selling for years and were at the bottom of the box, when worn by Mera, looked like a fashion show. Arthur didn't care about anything, just responsible for signing, and if there was no money, he would call to ask for it, and the other party would give as much as he asked for. Why not fleece them hard?

By the time Mera finished choosing and all the big and small bags were loaded into the car, Arthur also ordered a suit. Of course, it was that kind of very noble—mainly expensive—custom Italian suit, which was very suitable for his tall figure and wild hairstyle.

Customizing a suit wasn't that fast, so they played wildly in the Amazon for a few more days, wishing the whole city knew that a pair of super tycoons from the United States were going to attend a royal banquet. Even the Queen knew about it.

The Queen was also puzzled, who said there was going to be a banquet? But looking at the soaring sales, she couldn't say anything. Even if it was just for these two wealthy patrons, this banquet had to be held.

Thus, on the evening a few days later, Arthur and Mera, dressed extremely grandly and looking like they were coming to be crowned, appeared in the Amazon Queen's palace. The moment they walked into the palace, the Queen recognized them; these were two Atlanteans. The Queen felt that the Sea People were harboring evil intentions and now didn't want to deal with Atlanteans at all.

However, looking at the two people's extremely grand attire, shining jewelry, and meticulous grooming from head to toe, thinking about how all of this would turn into Amazon's tax revenue, the Queen could only sigh, hold her wine glass, and walk over to exchange pleasantries. ===== CHAPTER 4367 =====

The movie Aquaman is really cheeky; that part where he tricks his brother into eating a cockroach cracked me up.
