Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 322 You Have to Take Some Responsibility (and Updates!)

Martin had thought about what to do with Eddie Swan.

Strictly speaking, he was just an innocent person who was tricked by his juniors.

As a policeman, he is very competent and would never go along with Reverse Flash.

Martin believed that as long as he told the truth, the man would cooperate with him.

But if we do this, will Reverse Flash become suspicious? Will he jump out on his own initiative? If he doesn't show up, what's the point of setting this trap?

After some thought, he decided to break into the police station and kidnap Eddie Swan, playing the whole trick.

"Who are you? Kneel on the ground with your hands behind your head and accept inspection!"

All the police officers at the door of the Central City Police Station drew their guns and pointed them at Martin and Pleasant Goat who were blocking the door.

Since the old sheriff Joe West was not there, Eddie was the highest-ranking official. He roared, and all the special police who were about to set off for Iron Mountain Prison pointed their guns at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of them.

Pleasant Goat looked at the black muzzle of the gun and whispered to Martin: "Are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want to be riddled with bullets."

Both the Sheep Village and the Wolf Fortress have experienced the era of hot weapons, so the lambs are very familiar with the power of firearms.

Although the energy utilization mode of this kinetic weapon seems a bit backward compared to the various weird magic technologies, the power of the bullet fired from the gun barrel is not small at all.

If they don't take precautions, bullets will still penetrate them.

Martin made a gesture to reassure Pleasant Goat, and then he said to the police, "You are too slow. All the superhuman criminals in Tieshan Prison have already escaped. Even if each of you has wings behind you and flies over immediately, it is too late."

"who are you?"

Eddie looked at the two lambs warily, treating them as special superhumans.

There are too many superhumans these days, with all kinds of strange abilities. Although turning into a sheep is a bit exaggerated, it is not a miracle.

Eddie was also promoted from patrolman, so he was used to seeing the gangs. Compared with superhumans, the crimes that were actually happening were what the police were really wary of.

"You two just barged in here. This is a disrespect for the Central City police. Do you want to make an enemy of the government?"

The conflict between superhumans and ordinary people is now semi-public.

Although the Justice League attempts to use the events in Los Angeles to establish a new norm and impression of society.

But politicians in the White House are clearly unwilling to do so, and bridging this divide will come at a price.

Several forces are unwilling to sacrifice themselves to fill this rift, and instead use this contradiction to divide the other side's base.

This trend started from Washington, and in less than a week it had created waves in major cities.

Eddie is still a star sheriff after all, although due to the appearance of the Flash his reputation in the police force is no longer as high as before.

But for politicians, this young sheriff still has great potential. After all, the Flash doesn't care about those people in the city council.

"You do have some political sense, but I don't buy it."

Martin expressed his disdain for Eddie's little tricks: "To be honest, I came here just for you. Come with me!"

The reason why he tolerated Eddie talking so much nonsense was to wait for the reporters to arrive and spread the matter so as to lure out the Reverse Flash.

Fortunately, the reporters in the central city were not slow, and soon someone brave enough came with a camera and took pictures of the police station.

Pleasant Goat had been paying attention to the situation the whole time, and when he felt it was about time, he made a gesture to Martin.

"Arrest them!"

Martin said softly.

Pleasant Goat instantly put on his lightning running shoes and turned into a blue lightning, shuttling through the crowd and disassembling all the guns into scattered parts.

Eddie's hands and feet were tied up with ropes, and he was pressed on the back of the balloon dog by Pleasant Goat, like some kind of trophy.

But he didn't feel anything at all, as if he was already being held in the hand of Pleasant Goat.

"What do you two want to do? Let me go immediately. You are challenging the authority of the Central City Police Department."

Eddie did not resist physically, but just hoped to buy himself some time in this way.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Martin waved to the SWAT police who had drawn their pistols, and then maple trees rose from the ground, dividing the surroundings and blocking everyone.

"If the two of us attack, no one in this city can save you. If you cooperate honestly, you can suffer less. Otherwise, I will just let you taste my fist!"

If you want to act, you have to play it full-time, so Martin had no intention of being polite to the sheriff.

In the face of fists, Eddie finally succumbed.

He is not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean he will take the initiative to seek death for boring things. These two guys have unknown origins and are very arrogant. God knows what they will do.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Eddie shut up, Martin nodded to Pleasant Goat.

Then, the two men rode on their respective flying props and flew away in front of everyone.

Los Angeles, temporary residence of the Justice League.

Barry continued to assist Arthur as the Flash. The department framework of the Justice League was set up, but filling it with people was not an easy task.

But when he thought about things in Central City, there were always some small mistakes, which made Arthur find fault with him.

After hearing the news from the central city, he exploded and all the documents in his hands fell to the ground and scattered.

Arthur heard the voice, turned around and said helplessly: "Ancestor, why don't you go help somewhere else! You are just careless, if you get someone else's identity information, I will have to work hard to make up for it later."

Barry frowned, not even looking at the documents at his feet, and said quickly: "Martin, what on earth do you want to do? You kidnapped Eddie in front of so many people, isn't this exacerbating the conflict?"

Arthur rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Don't worry about it. Martin doesn't know how to deal with real things any better than you do. You should do the job at hand first."

It can be said that he has been dealing with this kind of thing since he was a child, so he is not worried about it at all.

Barry still regarded himself as an ordinary citizen and said worriedly: "But my relationship with the government is still good, even if Martin did this for a reason."

"You just have a good relationship with the police, or is it because of the old policeman Joe West who is the middleman?"

As an outsider, Arthur sees things much more clearly than Barry.

"But the police are only a part of modern cities, and your father-in-law can only represent a part of the police. According to our intelligence, political factions in various places have complex attitudes towards superhumans, but most of them choose to ignore them."

"Once someone starts to stir up trouble, it won't be long before a large-scale conflict breaks out. At that time, there will be no Harrison Wells in disguise as the Reverse-Flash to protect you in front, and you will only have your father-in-law, a sheriff with little power. How are you going to deal with these problems?" The people in Team Flash thought Martin was cold-blooded and ruthless, but in Arthur's eyes, it was just the opposite.

Martin has been very caring towards Barry.

If Superman faced such a situation, Martin would never let Superman leave Metropolis and solve the problem alone.

What Martin did was a disguised way of transferring the pressure to the Justice League. If any major conflict occurs in the future, what happened today will greatly reduce the pressure on Barry.

Team Flash hasn't even thought about this problem. Their understanding of this society is still too narrow.

Barry smiled bitterly, "Martin has repeated these problems to me more than once, but the problems in Central City are not that serious. I am confident that I can control the situation."

Arthur shook his head slightly: "Everyone thinks that they and their position are special, but in the end, nothing is completely special."

"I won't preach to you, and you don't have to help me. Just watch how Martin handles this matter!"

Arthur picked up the documents on the ground himself and continued to work.

Barry thanked Arthur and then focused his attention on the situation in Central City.

But in the end, he did not act on his impulse and just leave the Justice League.

"Damn bastard!"

Reverse Flash was in the blacksmith's lair, watching Eddie Swan being taken away. He became furious, his body kept shaking, emitting lightning that turned everything around him into charcoal.

If the blacksmith dies, the worst that can happen is that we just have to find a new spokesperson.

There are many such ambitious guys, there is no shortage of them. As long as you spend time, you can always train a new one.

Besides, he will eventually return to the future. What will be the final outcome of the people of this era has nothing to do with him.

But Eddie Swann was different.

In Albert Swan's eyes, this guy was a disgrace to the Swan family's history, because he remained an unknown little sheriff until his death and had never achieved any real achievements.

But he is also the most critical person in the history of the Swan family because he is the only child of the Swan family.

If he died, the Swan family bloodline would end in this era, and naturally there would be no Albert Swan later, let alone Reverse Flash.

Reverse Flash remained indifferent as he watched others die.

Seeing death approaching him, he became angry and panicked, and began to destroy everything around him uncontrollably.

"Who the hell is that Martin, and how could he know my history?"

The last name Swan is actually not uncommon. Coupled with the time difference, if you search for information honestly, even if you spend a year, you won't be able to find the relationship between Eddie and Reverse Flash.

Because Reverse Flash used props from the future to directly change his own epidermal genes, it is impossible to connect the two together at the genetic level.

"Martin, Martin!"

Reverse Flash controlled his emotions and speed, and put his hands on the table. The black screen showed him wearing a mask, with devil-like eyes and gnashing teeth.

"It seems that if I don't kill you, I won't be able to return to the future, and I won't even be able to save my life!"

Central City Star Labs!

Martin and Pleasant Goat brought Eddie Swan here and didn't bother to hide their whereabouts.

The bait for this fishing activity is clear and there is no need to hide it. The purpose of both parties is clear. It's just that the weight of the bait is here. Martin only needs to worry about how to deal with Reverse Flash after he comes, and he doesn't need to worry about him not coming.

"What you two mean is that I, a descendant from hundreds of years later, stole the Flash's abilities and came to this era, not only causing the explosion of the particle accelerator, but also wanting to kill the Flash?"

Eddie Swan's brain is about to shut down.

This kind of thing is too shocking for an ordinary person. Time travel, superhumans, the Flash, etc. are entangled together, making it really difficult to make sense of it.

But as an excellent policeman, Eddie still grasped the key.

"Let's not discuss whether this is true or not. Since you believe that I am the ancestor of the Reverse Flash, then by bringing me here, do you want to kill me to prevent future troubles?"

Considering the two men's previous behavior of breaking into the police station, Eddie subconsciously thought the worst of Martin and Pleasant Goat.

"Pleasant Goat and I are positive characters. How could we possibly do something that would implicate innocent people?"

Martin puffed out his chest, looked confident, and pulled in Pleasant Goat to play an excellent role.

"Uh"

As a policeman, Eddie believes in the law, but he doesn't believe in positive characters.

Especially these superhumans who never care about the law when doing things, how can they have the courage to call themselves positive characters?
Even though he was very unconvinced, Eddie had to lower his head and not make any comments on the matter because he was under someone else's roof.

"Since you don't want to hurt me, just let me go!"

"Okay, after Reverse Flash shows up."

Martin did not give Eddie a chance to choose: "No matter what, Reverse Flash is also your descendant. Even if time travel is Reverse Flash's own behavior, you should still take a little responsibility."

"Nonsense, you two are just trying to provoke the Central City Police Department. Wait until I get out."

Eddie never believed what Martin said.

boom!
Martin punched Eddie on the head, knocking him unconscious.

"Even if I lied, you are a policeman, and I now have a way to deal with the Reverse Flash. What's wrong with you cooperating with me?"

"Everyone is dizzy, what's the point of saying this?"

Pleasant Goat took out a bunch of tools from his tech bracelet and began to prepare a trap for Reverse Flash.

"Come and help!"

"I can't help you with setting traps."

Martin waved his hand and expressed his inferiority to Pleasant Goat.

He took out Kronos's Time Chain and, with the flaming guitar in his hand, began to cast a spell on the entire laboratory.

As the dull and ancient music similar to that of a sacrifice began to echo in the laboratory, the brilliance of the time chain was also integrated into the matter, and began to construct special fields according to Martin's will, including Pleasant Goat's trap.

When Reverse Flash came to the Central City laboratory again, he couldn't see any problems with his naked eyes.
