American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 414 Secret Plan

Amanda felt very angry and furious.

On countless sleepless nights, she would think of that day, that special day, that seemingly ordinary town, and that seemingly unremarkable factory.

At first, she thought it was just an ordinary case, until she uncovered the truth herself.

That terrifying guy was no ordinary person.

He threatened himself and implanted a terrifying nanobomb in his neck.

This terrifying bomb can kill her instantly with just a light press by the holder.

Amanda didn't want to die; she wanted to live. She wanted to realize her ambitions and aspirations.

So she chose to give in, to succumb to the fear deep within her heart, to succumb to that horrible man.

But recently everything has changed.

Amanda successfully defused the bomb around her neck with the help of some high-tech scientists.

So in other words, she is now free, and very free.

She was no longer bound by constraints and restrictions, and at the same time, she gained the liberation she had longed for.

Amanda knew that Gino Luther was no good person; he was ruthless and cunning.

But it was as if a supernatural being ruled over everything. Gino Luthor's existence instilled fear in everyone, especially in America's once-powerful politicians.

These politicians ruled everything; before superhumans even existed, they were the emperors of America.

But everything changed after Gino Luther appeared.

Politicians fear Gino, are terrified of Gino.

"Their power must be contained!"

"Disorderly forces should be regulated."

Amanda said this in the dimly lit council chamber.

She was indeed afraid of Gino Luther and feared his power. If he discovered that they were up to some underhanded tricks, there was a high probability that he would come knocking on their door and crush them.

Therefore, this is why they did not carry any electronic communication devices.

They were afraid that carrying these things would be captured and monitored, and then they would be brutally killed by Gino, who would fall from the sky and use his heat vision to cut them in half like poor steaks.

But Amanda felt that if you were afraid of something and didn't do it, you would only become more afraid and eventually be swallowed up by it.

Moreover, not everyone is willing to be "ruled" by the Justice League, so Amanda still managed to rise step by step to a high-ranking position in the United States.

"I don't think we should go after the Justice League."

Just like there are many different voices in a group, some people support taking down the Justice League while others oppose it.

"Ladies and gentlemen," a white old man with white hair stood up. He looked very shrewd, with a pair of wise blue eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses.

"Just think about how many good things the Justice League has done for us."

"They stopped those incredibly powerful and evil invaders; they killed those terrifying rioters."

"But now you intend to deal with them simply because you fear them."

"This is completely unnecessary."

The old man pushed up his glasses and said, "I spent a lot of money to have a psychologist evaluate him. Gino Luther doesn't care about us. His abilities are beyond our level."

"I don't understand why we need to be on guard against them, and from a strength perspective, we don't have the strength to confront them."

After hearing the old man's words, everyone present fell silent.

They knew perfectly well that what the old man said was true, but even knowing it, they didn't want to place their hopes on those with superpowers.

Simply put, they lack a sense of security and need to have everything under their control.

"Mr. Fred has a point, but haven't we all noticed how much we rely on the Justice League sometimes?"

A young, crew-cut officer stood up and said, his eyes sweeping coldly over the crowd, "Take this spore leak incident, for example. We were perfectly capable of stopping these monsters from rampaging and reversing our terrible image in the public eye. But what did the Justice League do?"

"They went to the conflict zone to stop it without Washington's permission."

"If this continues, what's the point of having an army?"

"What's the point of having politicians?"

His words were like sharp knives, breaking many people's defenses.

Yes, that's exactly what most people are worried about.

The Justice League is becoming increasingly powerful, while their influence is steadily waning.

You could even say that while some people might not know who the President of the United States is, there is absolutely no one who doesn't know Keno and the Justice League.

"Colonel Trevor, please continue," someone said. "We'd love to hear your insights."

"My view is simple: the Justice League absolutely cannot interfere in our affairs with such violence."

"Perhaps we need to negotiate with them!"

"Clearly define each other's responsibilities and obligations."

Hearing the young colonel's words, many people's eyes lit up; they felt that the young colonel was absolutely right.

"You're absolutely right, but now we have a new problem in mind."

Someone stood up and looked at Colonel Trevor: "So who's going to negotiate with the Justice League?"

Outsiders may not know, but these cunning politicians are well aware that when Keno visited the White House last time, he brutally murdered two generals standing next to the president.

Their president also developed some mental health issues after witnessing that horrific scene firsthand.

Everyone can talk about grand principles, but putting them into practice is another matter entirely.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Although they knew that Superman Clark of the Justice League was a good person, judging from his past behavior, this guy never killed humans.

Then there's Batman. Although he's a gloomy guy, he doesn't kill humans and has a voice. But he's a very cunning man, and many politicians feel they can't outmaneuver him.

As for Wonder Woman?

She was just a henchman in the Justice League and had no real say.

And Ginobili?

That guy not only kills, but he's ruthless. Let's put it this way: a bunch of politicians would rather be friends with the Joker than spend a minute more with Ginobili.

Seeing the obsequious expressions on the politicians' faces, Colonel Trevor sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Since no one wants to go, then I'll go and negotiate with the Justice League in your place!"

He knew that these politicians only knew how to play dirty tricks behind the scenes, and when faced with real power, they would just shut their mouths.
