Chapter 4444

Diana silently covered her forehead, not knowing how to evaluate it for a moment. Listening to Clark, it seemed that the resurrected Amanda was preparing to assassinate the President. But the killer she found, or the broker who hired the killer, was Schiller Rodriguez.

Barry was a bit confused about the situation and said, "What Amanda? What's wrong with her and Schiller?"

Remembering this woman he had killed with his own hands, Clark's expression became very gloomy. Even if his death was part of Batman's plan, Amanda's actions had sins that went far beyond that.

From Amanda's handling of affairs, one could see how insane and daring she was. She dared to persecute even someone like Superman without restraint, let alone ordinary people. Over the years, who knows how many souls have died under her, she is simply a scourge to humanity.

Actually, Clark felt that compared to Amanda, he could even tolerate Luthor. Because Luthor only targeted him alone; you can call him paranoid, or you can say he turned love into hate, but at least he didn't involve others.

Luthor knew that he would weaken without the power of the yellow sun, and the method he thought of was to send himself back to Krypton, which has no yellow sun, to make himself weaken so he couldn't get out. If this were Amanda, she would directly blow up the yellow sun.

This is not an exaggeration. Although Luthor doesn't seem too smart either, at least he is not anti-human. He deals with himself on the basis of ensuring his own interests, having the most basic wisdom and rationality. But Amanda is different; this guy is purely a lunatic who doesn't consider the consequences. Back then, she dared to force himself into that state, completely unafraid of him and Earth perishing together, which is a glimpse of it.

Actually, ever since the power of Death appeared, although it has been diligently causing trouble, it hasn't really accomplished anything. Although Clark is vigilant, he isn't exactly facing a formidable enemy. But once he thought that he might have resurrected Amanda, Clark only had one thought in his mind—Death, don't let me catch you, or you'll have a good time.

In the past, he couldn't accept killing, but ever since killing Amanda, he has had a bit of trouble accepting that dead people can resurrect.

Seeing that Clark's expression was wrong, Diana hurriedly stepped forward and patted his shoulder, even stroking his back like coaxing a child to help him calm down, and said, "It's okay, resurrected enemies are all defeated opponents; we can defeat them once, we can defeat them a second time."

How could Clark not know that Amanda is actually not hard to deal with? But thinking about having to dig this rat out of the gutter and kill her again made him feel a bit nauseous.

"But how could she think of finding Schiller?" Barry was puzzled. "Does Schiller look like a very kind person? Why does everyone find him?"

This made both Clark and Diana speechless. Is that us finding him? That's him taking advantage of the situation!

"Schiller is the presidential secretary," Clark said, "and he also served as the head of A. R. G. U. S. before, which can be considered Amanda's successor. Although during his tenure, not only did he not accomplish a single thing, he also stirred the situation into a mess, but Amanda died too early, she didn't know."

"That's true," Diana said, feeling a bit amused when she remembered. Let's put it this way: if Schiller is hired properly, he won't accomplish anything and will only drag his feet, but if he is secretly causing trouble behind the scenes, he is like a god controlling the wind and thunder.

Take A. R. G. U. S. for example; when Schiller was in office, there was only one thing, and that was moving the Capitol building back. The way he handled this matter, it wasn't just that he couldn't succeed and would only fail, Diana had witnessed what it meant to have the front line in a crisis while the rear is in chaos, what it meant for an incompetent general to exhaust three armies, and what it meant for one careless move to lose the whole game.

It's not easy to accomplish things, but it's even harder to be so unsuccessful. With so many people in the Justice League, he managed to offend everyone without being able to befriend a single one, like getting every question wrong on a fill-in-the-blank test. Having him as the head of A. R. G. U. S. was truly a blessing for the Congress.

Thinking of Schiller's "great achievements," Diana couldn't help but sneer. If this was really Amanda's doing, then the most wrong thing she did was not to formally hire Schiller—if you hand it to him, you'll just be worried.

And the facts were indeed so: the method used could not form a public opinion offensive, the bullet hit caused no trauma, and the process of committing the crime was convenient for people to deduce later. After a lot of busy work, Clark was completely fine, but the murderer was already clearly exposed.

Clark also discovered that if you give Schiller a task he doesn't like, he won't say he won't do it; he will even do it very actively. First, he formulates a plan that seems to have no loopholes, and executes it flawlessly. Everyone is busy and sweating, and when they look back, it's good if there are no results; in fact, it's all digging a hole for themselves.

It's like if you ask him to carve an ice sculpture in winter, he draws designs, finds raw materials, purchases various tools, and carves it meticulously, and then keeps you busy until summer. There is no ice, no sculpture, and the water from the melted ice randomly drowns three unlucky friendly forces.

Both Clark and Diana felt that this is actually a kind of ability. Both of them had encountered some jobs in the workplace that were hard to do but couldn't be declined; both of their personalities were to grit their teeth and accept it; anyway, they have superpowers, at worst they just won't sleep and work overtime.

But this kind of thing is that the more you retreat, the more some people will push their luck. Both of them have had times when they were furious, but thinking about it carefully, if they don't do it, they will always offend people, and there is no other good way.

So these two began to think silently about how Schiller managed to mess up every single thing he didn't want to do.

Thinking about it, they also figured out a pattern.

For example, many people who receive tasks they don't want to do just slack off there, delaying it or doing a sloppy job, but in fact, this is the most wrong method.

Originally, if you take on a job others don't like, others owe you a certain favor. But if your attitude is bad, or the work isn't done well, slowing down the team's progress and angering the superiors, let alone owing a favor, it's good if others don't scold you.

The result of not doing it well is wasting your own time, having no one owe you a favor, and making your own mood very bad; it's simply a total loss.

Then, is it okay to just work hard like an old ox? Actually, that doesn't work either. Clark and Diana are both nuclear-powered donkeys; the speed of the millstone rotating is almost catching up to a neutron star, but they will still be angered.

It's not that they can't do the work that comes later, but some people's attitudes are really infuriating, the kind that clearly bullies you because you are easy to talk to. Anyone treated like this will be filled with resentment, and over time, it consumes too much energy.

And the correct way is to be like Schiller: not only must I be busy, but I must let everyone see it. I am devoted to my duty, striving for perfection; there is no place I haven't thought of, no place I haven't reached. It's as if I share honor and disgrace with the work; if the work lives, I live; if the work dies, I die.

And how to perform like this, the key lies in performing a sense of conflict. If you are doing clerical work, don't stay in front of the computer; run up and down and wander around the building. And when you walk, you must look very hurried; if someone meets you on the road and asks you, just complain a few words, and say righteously, "I was originally doing clerical work, but now my legs have run thin."

And if you are doing manual labor, occasionally ponder there, or pull people to discuss together, or check a lot of data; when others ask you, you just say, "I just wanted peace of mind doing manual labor, but now I have to worry and strain my mind."

Only a mismatched way of working can reflect your dedication and willingness to bear burdens. For example, Schiller, when his main identity was an action-oriented liar, he stayed at the A. R. G. U. S. base making phone calls; and after he became the presidential secretary sitting in an office, he started to personally assassinate the President.

How can Congress and Amanda find fault with him? He is not in this profession to begin with. Working in a non-professional field for a whole day is what is called doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate. He has done his best, so if it didn't succeed, it can only be said that it was heaven's will.

Such effort can make those who escaped this job owe you a bigger favor. Indeed, they may not appreciate it, but as long as there is any conflict with them in the future, you can stand on the moral high ground and say, "Back then, you didn't want to do such-and-such work, and when I did it, I was so hard-working, yet you still treat me like this."

If it's an ordinary person, then after a busy time, you can choose not to produce results. For example, clearly wanting this, but giving that; clearly using this process is better, but insisting on taking a detour. In the end, it's done in a way that is irrelevant to the topic; anyway, it's just doing it as badly as possible, and if asked, it's that I've already tried my best.

Of course, experts can also cause some trouble. For example, clearly being able to finish it yourself, but insisting on borrowing people from the leader's rival department; clearly being almost done, but insisting on picking details from every process, dragging people from all links to work overtime.

Basically, after doing this twice, no one will give you difficult work again. Of course, this only applies to those who don't want to be promoted and whose ambitions don't lie there. For example, Schiller, he is not working for the official side; he has his own plans and rhythm, so naturally, he can use this trick to deal with Congress and Amanda, and then secretly do his own things.

Of course, Schiller's level is higher; he can use the things produced during these ineffective busy times to achieve his own private goals.

For example, Congress asked him to move the Capitol building; he stirred it up, the Capitol building wasn't moved back, but the Justice League was closely united, which is exactly what he wanted.

Another example, Amanda hired him to assassinate the President; he was busy again, the President was completely fine, and Amanda, who wanted to hide in the dark, had already been deduced by the Justice League.

Clark had already realized that this was probably one of Schiller's goals. Amanda had probably returned long ago, just hiding in the dark, brewing conspiracies, while he was still completely unaware.

But once this assassination case came out, through various flaws and loopholes, it made him think of Amanda, and combined with the fact that the power of Death can resurrect people, it is very easy to deduce that Death has changed strategies and started to resurrect their enemies, and Amanda might have already been resurrected.

Clark even suspected that Amanda might not have wanted to assassinate him at all; it was Schiller who threw out another delicious bait that lured him up.

Diana obviously also thought of this point; she looked at Clark and found that Clark was also looking at her. Diana stated her speculation: "In the data stolen from the Metropolis Museum, Schiller must have put in private goods, giving Amanda the confidence to kill you in one blow."

"Kryptonite," Clark said, hitting the key point. "It must have recorded the method of obtaining a large amount of Kryptonite and 'correctly' using Kryptonite to kill Kryptonians. That's why Amanda had such an idea."

"Undoubtedly, it was made up by Schiller. He knew you were immune, so he set up such a trap. The purpose was to force Amanda to take action, reminding us that she has returned."

?? Sorry, I went to pay New Year's calls out of town today and was a bit late.
