The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1263

The people of America suddenly received an urgent news message at night.

The news story has only one content: another alien base on Roosevelt Island, where the Nakvergi inhabitants have been subjected to a massive purge.

The first person to discover the scene was Vixen, a Justice League superhero on patrol, who found the horrific massacre.

The Roosevelt Island base recorded a total of 15 Nakvergi, of whom 13 were killed and two went missing. The scene was so bloody that even a seasoned female fox felt uncomfortable.

The news outlets didn't even dare to release photos of the crime scene; there was only one reporter standing outside the police cordon, constantly talking.

A number of police officers were gathered at the scene, but they could only stand guard outside the cordon. Only official members of the Justice League and personnel dispatched by the United Nations were allowed to enter the crime scene.

After all, this is no longer a typical international dispute, but an interstellar dispute.

The whole world was reporting on this, just like a bomb going off.

...

Because most of the Justice League members have left Earth, the Illuminati has decided to take this opportunity to hold a meeting.

The original intention was to discuss the general direction for the future, but the newly joined Schreid gave them a big surprise.

Unlike the headshots of other leaders, Schleid's photo looked as if he were appearing before everyone for the first time.

He still appeared on the screen as a "full-body photo," and the first time Shredder did this, it was clearly to show off the head of Rashomon that he had just severed.

So when he did this a second time, it was clearly because he wanted to show everyone something.

As it turned out, the leaders of the Illuminati were right.

On Schreid's screen, there was a stone bed on each side of him, and on each stone bed lay the corpse of a Nakvergi.

"So, you did that?" Savage said coldly. Even ordinary people knew about it from the news, so how could he, as the head of the Illuminati, not know?

"Isn't the answer obvious enough?" Damian spread his hands. "Since you've told those insects to make a big fuss, it wouldn't be surprising if I took the opportunity to make a small fortune, would it?"

"Do you know that your actions could very well attract the attention of the Justice League?"

The queen bee sternly rebuked him. Ever since her first meeting with Schlade, he had not left her with a good impression, so she naturally seized every opportunity to attack.

“I’m not like you,” Damian shook his head. “If you just hide in a dark corner and don’t take the initiative, opportunities will be fleeting.”

"What did you say?!" The Queen Bee raised her eyebrows, clearly angered.

“The facts are right before our eyes.” Damian walked to one of the Nakvergi corpses. “I know many of you have long been curious about these alien life forms.”

"But you never succeeded, while I did!"

“Are you showing us your abilities?” Luther guessed.

“I have no interest in being a marginal figure, nor do I have the patience to wait for you to gradually accept me,” Damian replied in another way.

"I have to admit that to achieve my goals, I need to rely on your strength, so this is my pledge of allegiance. I think it's enough, isn't it?" Admittedly, it was indeed enough. Just as Batman and the others had agreed beforehand, the fact that the Justice League and the Nakverges were allies was enough.

From the Illuminati's perspective, the Justice League alone is already difficult enough to deal with. Don't be fooled by their constant disdain for others; their reluctance to engage in large-scale activities speaks volumes.

The leaders of the Illuminati lacked confidence in taking down the Justice League in one fell swoop, so they could only plot behind the scenes and constantly form alliances to hinder the latter.

After the Justice League and the Nakfirges cooperated, the Illuminati held a special meeting to discuss how to resolve this alliance.

Surprisingly, Schleid solved it in such a simple and brutal way.

Yes, the Nakvergi came with goodwill; they were establishing diplomatic relations with the Justice League and Earth. Therefore, it was necessary for the latter to ensure their safety while the former were on Earth.

But now, not only have the Nakvergi people on Earth died, but two of them are missing. Even the kindest race would have grievances.

It could be said that if we seize this opportunity and pull off some maneuvers, we might be able to turn the Justice League and the Nakvergi against each other.

This is what the Illuminati wants to see.

This operation seems simple, but in reality, only Shredder in the Illuminati could do it, because even the Illuminati couldn't find out his true identity.

At this point, he was practically invisible to both the legitimate and criminal worlds, making it very difficult to trace his origins back to the Illuminati.

“Alright, Shredder,” Savage’s expression softened slightly. “At least you did a good job on this, so what about those two corpses…”

“I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Damian interrupted Savage. “I can’t give for nothing. You have to give something in return for something you want to gain. Even a child knows that.”

"Okay, tell me what you want?"

Sevich was helpless. He finally understood that this Schlade was a mad dog, the kind that wouldn't give up until it got what it wanted.

You can't scare this kind of person; you might as well take advantage of him while he's still useful.

"First of all, give me the status I deserve." Damian brandished his claws to match his vicious words.

"Secondly, I need you to agree to one of my requests in the future."

"That's impossible for all of us," the queen bee refused outright, without even considering it.

“Then I think we have nothing more to talk about.” Damian made a move to turn off the Tongxu device, but Luther stopped him.

“Wait a minute, Shredder.” Luther cleared his throat. “The Queen Bee is right. Although the Illuminati is a legitimate organization, we all have different interests.”

"Just like the Queen Bee has never been involved in cloning and research, she will get almost no benefit in the early stages of this deal, but you will get a promise for free."

“This is a losing proposition. I wouldn’t agree to it either. How about this, I’ll agree. I’m the only one in the Illuminati who is good at this, so it’s just right for me to agree.”

"I believe you are aware of the strength of the Lex Group, and with the resources of the Illuminati, I believe I can fulfill most of your requests."
