Chapter 541: No way to go, no way to go anymore! (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

"If you want to determine as quickly as possible whether those people have been targeted to trigger super-powered genes, it's best to let me do it."

Martin heard Bruce's voice as soon as he walked out of the sonic boom tunnel.

He wasn't surprised that Bruce knew these things.

Wayne Group's surveillance system is spread throughout Gotham, and Bruce has Gideon's help. Nothing in the city covered by surveillance can escape his eyes and ears.

"I never thought that these people would be so low-minded that they would allow something like this to happen."

Martin sat next to Bruce, his worry and helplessness evident in his eyes.

"If a drug that can trigger super-powered genes spreads, how many people will die. Even if they don't care about human lives, won't they consider the harm that the spread of this drug will bring to social order?"

"Most wealthy people are of average means, and their descendants either engage in nepotism or sink into the cultural community. This is what you often say, so why do you have illusions about them when the time comes?"

Bruce looked at Martin and instead of comforting him, he told him the cold truth.

"I understand. Of course I understand."

Martin shook his head helplessly: "I don't really care about the level of those bastards. I am more worried about how many innocent people will die because of the decisions they make for their own benefit."

"Damn it, don't they want the parahumans to spread everywhere? I'll make their wish come true."

He instantly perked up and slammed his fist down on the table. This gave Bruce a bad feeling.

"The Alliance's research on super-powered genes in humans is not in-depth. If you want to use a formal awakening method to hedge against the other party, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to do so!"

Bruce is not afraid of fighting a war with these people under a certain order. What he is worried about is that the other party will cross the bottom line and let things go.

Faced with the personal dependence relationships formed by cultural norms and power norms that have lasted for hundreds of years in various communities around the world, it will be difficult for the Justice League to intervene in a short period of time.

The fact of the invasion of Apokolips is there, but even though the Justice League has produced so much evidence, many countries still remain the same and have no intention of changing.

"I can save just one!"

Martin cursed again and said helplessly: "If they act this way, I'm too lazy to play the game of "I'm fine with you" with them anymore!"

Yes, games!
Although Martin and the Americans fought several times, neither side ever deployed real force, that is, violent organizations such as the military, police, secret services, and only engaged in verbal battles, which could be considered a kind of tacit understanding.

He wanted to transfer his people safely and completely cut off ties with the United States, so he wanted a stable external environment.

The Americans want to find out their strength, mobilize enough forces, and then kill them with one blow.

But the emergence of this potion made Martin change his mind. He realized that if he continued to stalemate, those bastards would only drag in more innocent people as shields and cannon fodder, so he lost the will to continue this game.

"I'm going to Washington right now to catch that bald bastard Luther and get Savage's whereabouts from him."

"The economic offensive against those people in Washington can be stopped. Just pretend to attract their attention. From now on, you will be responsible for the selection and transfer of peripheral organizations. You will issue orders directly, and those who disobey will be abandoned directly."

Martin gave several orders in a row. Bruce remained silent, but he understood what he meant - to speed up the demarcation of positions with the United States.

"The source of those medicines is still uncertain! If you rush directly into Washington, will you fall into the enemy's trap?"

Bruce had no objection to Martin's arrangement, but he was worried about the consequences of his actions.

"It doesn't matter. If the Americans want to get involved in the war between us and Savage, let them do it! After all, the Americans are not our responsibility. We can't keep backing down if they insist on having their own way."

"As for the trap, there is no trap in this world that can kill me. Savage and his group want to play one-on-one with me, so I want them to see how sharp my sword is."

Martin finally made up his mind.

Bruce understood what he meant. Information about the peripheral organizations flashed through his mind. He said in a deep voice, "I can handle the affairs of the peripheral organizations within a week. After dealing with these people, we can basically do our own things."

In fact, in addition to these peripheral organizations, the Justice League has many projects in the United States, but these projects are basically messes that no one is willing to take over, and there are not many of these projects, such as the immigrants in Gotham and the rebuilding city of Los Angeles.

"Be careful! If you need help, contact Clark and the others. Don't worry about making things worse."

Martin actually wanted to tell Bruce to stop playing the Lone Ranger game, but in the end he chose to believe him and didn't say that.

"Do not worry!"

Bruce gave Martin an OK sign and smiled, telling him to put his mind at ease.

Martin nodded, used the mother box to open the sonic boom channel, and walked in with Hoofying.

Bruce watched the sonic boom channel close, then stood up and picked up the Mother Box on the table.

The Mother Box transformed into countless cubes in his hands, floating to various parts of his body, and then transformed into parts of the classic Batman armor and attached directly to him.

"Gideon, set aside some funds to tie down those people. Also, help me notify the leaders of several peripheral organizations in the United States and ask them to come to Wayne Manor to see me."

With that, Bruce left the Batcave directly to prepare for what was going to happen next.

……

There are actually two Washingtons in the United States: one is a special district directly under the jurisdiction of the federal government, and the other is Washington State in the northwest region.

The District of Columbia, where the federal government is located, divides the city into four geographic quadrants, centered on the Capitol.

The Northwest District is the largest and most prosperous, covering iconic landmarks such as the National Mall, the White House, Georgetown, and Dupont Circle. It is the political, commercial, and cultural core area.

The Northeast District is a mix of residential areas (such as parts of Capitol Hill) and emerging development areas (such as Union Market), and has a strong sense of life.

The Southeast District includes both historical communities (such as another part of Capitol Hill) and modern facilities such as Nationals Park and the Navy Yard along the Anacostia River.

The Southwest District is the smallest but fastest growing. The Southwest Waterfront District is an emerging dining and entertainment center adjacent to Congressional and Nationals Park.

Martin did not use the sonic boom channel to enter Washington directly, but landed in the suburbs and then used the mother box to call up Gideon's surveillance of the suspected target.

The Justice League has been keeping an eye on the people who were very active in Bruce's kidnapping and has made a list of them, suspecting that they are the ones who are in collusion with Savage.

"Until now, the people on the list haven't revealed any flaws, and we don't have any evidence to prove that they are in collusion with Savage!"

Gideon's voice sounded in Martin's ears, providing him with real-time information about the surrounding situation.

"What a coincidence! I don't need any evidence now!"

Martin chose a relatively high place where he could see a corner of Washington DC and the bustling lights coming from the city.

"I feel a deep darkness in this city. That darkness is filled with jealousy and hatred. It looks peaceful on the surface, but that is just a false appearance of a dormant beast."

He had already felt the presence of the dark side of the Force before he even entered Washington, DC.

Although the other party tried his best to hide, in this world where there were no people sensitive to the Force, the existence of a dark Force user was too obvious to be hidden from Martin, who had profound attainments in the Force.

Palpatine was able to hide this from the Jedi Council, firstly because he himself had a deep understanding of the dark force, and secondly because the Sith had disappeared from the galaxy for so long that the Jedi Masters had forgotten their existence.

"Luther, Luther! I didn't expect this guy to remember the teachings of Warrior Lun."

Martin thought of Luther's big bald head and shook his head slightly without making any comment.

"Gideon, pay attention to the situation around you and report any abnormalities to me at any time!"

"Tiying, transform into a motorcycle. Let's keep a low profile."

Martin rode on the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out directly, landing on the road, and continued to accelerate along the road leading into the special zone.

"Excuse me, but rushing directly into the special zone like this is not a low-key thing to do!" Gideon couldn't help but complain when he saw Martin constantly overtaking in the traffic.

"If I don't reveal any flaws, Luther, that cunning guy, will definitely run away. I don't want to play a cat-and-mouse game with him, so I'd better declare war directly, which is more direct."

Martin's rush into the Special Zone was itself an act of declaration of war. It was not only a demonstration to Savage, but also an attempt to draw a line between himself and the important people in the Special Zone.

"You don't need to interfere with any electronic devices I pass by. Just keep an eye on them."

Gideon obeyed Martin's orders, withdrew the attack on the surrounding monitoring system, and directly monitored the surrounding data flow.

Without his interference, Martin's appearance in Washington was quickly discovered. The news just appeared in the police station and was immediately known by people from various intelligence departments. It spread throughout Washington, DC within ten minutes.

The important people who knew about Martin's record suddenly became terrified, even though they were surrounded by superhuman bodyguards.

But there are differences between superhumans and metahumans. The superhumans they summoned are obviously no match for the Justice League, let alone stop Martin.

"Did Martin come into Washington, D.C. to kill me?"

They didn't know why Martin, who was active in Gotham, suddenly came to the Special Zone, but in order to protect their own safety, they still used various channels to mobilize organizations like the FBI and even wanted to impose a curfew.

"Martin is coming for me!"

Luther was in his club, and upon hearing the news of Martin's arrival, he immediately guessed his purpose:

"I still underestimated the moral bottom line of these people. I should have thought earlier that if the super-powered potion was spread, it would inevitably trigger a fierce reaction from the Justice League. It is impossible for someone like Martin to remain indifferent to this."

Luthor already knew what happened in Gotham.

The super-powered potions in the attackers' hands were indeed developed by them using the technology from Apocalypse, and then sold on the black market.

"How can I blame you?"

The witch spoke up for her boss and said, "You were going to release it on a small scale in the military first, and then release it to the market on a large scale after the use of this medicine has reached a certain scale. It was Savage's people who were eager for quick success and instant benefits, so they attracted the attention of the Justice League."

"It's meaningless to say this!"

Luther's reaction to this result was very calm. He accepted it directly and said, "We are all in the same boat. They can make stupid mistakes, but I can't give up on myself. Now, we have no other choice but to face it head-on."

The witch didn't understand Luther's worries. She frowned and asked, "Martin is still far away from us. The FBI is already blocking him. It won't be difficult for us to leave."

Luther shook his head slowly: "The dark force in me is so strong that it is impossible to hide from the perception of an absolute master. No matter where I go, I can't escape Martin's perception."

"Secondly, if we leave now, all our efforts in Washington will be in vain. Savage has unlimited glory with Apokolips behind him. But once they go to war with the Justice League, how long can they hold out under the fists of Martin and others?"

The witch was silent. She wanted to say that Luther could leave now and hide somewhere where no one was. As long as he survived, everything would turn around.

But will the Justice League give them that chance?

"If we stay and hold on for a while, we might still have a chance to turn the tables. As long as we can stop Martin, even if it's just a draw, we can get the support of those friends."

"Go and prepare, witch! Whether we can survive depends on the outcome of this game."

Luther never looked at the witch beside him. Of course he could run away. As long as he was willing to humble himself, he could avoid Martin's pursuit.

But he didn't want to run anymore.

Lex Luthor, this was once a name that symbolized genius and glory. Even his bald head was regarded as a symbol of wisdom.

But now, everything Luther had in the past has been shattered like bubbles, and he, who was once so glorious, has become a stray dog who can only hide in the shadows.

However, the Justice League that destroyed everything he had became more and more powerful, to the point where he could no longer see their shadows.

Luthor was unwilling to accept such a gap. He was jealous and hateful. He wanted to destroy everything in the Justice League and drag these high-ranking heroes down to the mortal world to let them taste the humiliation he had experienced.

“I can definitely do this!”

Luther clenched his fists, and everything in the room floated up into the air. Then, it was as if it was clamped by a hydraulic press, and was twisted into a ball. Then, it flew around like a headless fly.

His eyes turned golden as his tone of hatred grew, and his body underwent slight changes.

……

"Sir, all roads leading to Luther's club are blocked!"

Gideon reported the current situation to Martin: "The other side has shown signs of a city-wide curfew. I can't plan a route for you from the ground that will allow you to avoid these people."

"If the ground doesn't work, then go to the sky!"

Martin looked at the checkpoint blocking the street and did not slow down. Instead, he kept speeding up.

"Sky Eye Club, get out of the car immediately and be inspected!"

The ones who blocked this road were agents from the A.E.L.D. Society. After losing their relationship with the Justice League, they completely became an organization that monitors superhumans. Their status seemed to have returned to what it was before, but they had lost their uniqueness.

They were among the first to notice Martin, because they sent Secret Service agents to block the streets in advance in order to be the first to capture Martin and thus gain more prestige.

"Sorry guys, I'm not in the mood to play games with you today!"

Martin glanced at him calmly, then exerted force with both hands and lifted up the front wheel of the motorcycle.

Flames suddenly spurted out of the exhaust pipe of Tiying's car, and then it rushed onto a nearby building. The two wheels seemed to be continuously secreting glue, and it started running along the wall.

"Shit, all teams, pay attention. We have found the target. He is riding a motorcycle and is moving along the wall. Watch out for your heads!"

After reporting, the Sky Eye agent who blocked the intersection got into the car and chased Martin relentlessly, determined to bite him to death.

"Sir, agents from several departments are coming from all directions. You will be in contact with them in three minutes."

Martin frowned when he heard Gideon's reminder, feeling something was wrong.

He was unwilling to waste time with these people, fearing that Luther would take advantage of this time to pack up everything and escape from Washington.

"Tiying, it's up to you from now on!"

He felt the powerful force of the hoof shadows under his body, and an idea came to his mind. He gently patted the steel warhorse in the shape of a motorcycle and turned directly into a densely populated residential area.

"Aim to enter the residential area, follow him immediately, catch his shadow, don't let the target get away!"

Agents from several departments were performing a car-racing drama on the streets of the Special Administrative Region. When they saw Martin riding his bike into the residential area, their eyes turned red. They scrambled to break open the gate and rushed in.

"This is Eagle One. The target has left the residential area and is heading towards the Capitol! Repeat, the target is heading towards the Capitol."

When the agents rushed into the residential area, they received a report from the helicopter in the sky, increased their speed, and rushed directly out of the residential area. After turning an intersection, they saw Martin speeding on the road.

"Flying Eagle One, confirm the target's identity!"

"There hasn't been any sudden change in the opponent's signal, so there shouldn't be any substitution."

When the pursuing agents left the residential area, Martin, with his hands and feet pressed against the wall on the third floor, rolled over and landed steadily on the ground.

The hoof shadow was now carrying only his phantom. Just now, after they entered the blind spot, Martin jumped directly from the car, and there was no Force interfering with the surrounding signals.

"Hoof Shadow can hold them back for a while. Let's get rid of Luther as soon as possible."

After Martin finished speaking, he used the mother box to open the sonic boom channel and came directly to the vicinity of the club.
