Chapter 263 Zeus' Tip

According to Bruce, it was just an ordinary dinner.

In fact, however, the dinner was of such an extremely high standard that it even had an aristocratic and royal style.

The dishes are served one by one according to the flow, supplemented by various drinks to match the dishes.

Because Bruce was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, he is no stranger to dinner parties of this size.

Not to mention Diana.

According to the standards of human society, Diana is a princess, a veritable princess.

Although the etiquette of Paradise Island is somewhat different from that of human society, Diana was extremely elegant, and her casual attire did not affect her charm at all.

Relatively speaking, the performance of Roger and Selina is much more normal.

Although they don't have the prominent backgrounds of Bruce and Diana, they can be regarded as people who have seen all kinds of big scenes anyway.

Although they didn't participate much in this kind of dinner like a noble royal family, they were still able to handle it with ease when they were in it.

The atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed throughout the meal.

Although Diana met Roger Selina for the first time, she behaved very decently and did not make people feel the so-called strangeness at all.

What's more, there is a mutual friend like Bruce here.

During the meal, they didn't talk about any too formal or heavy topics, and they shared various interesting stories like old friends meeting again.

But it was a little strange. During the meal, Diana looked at Roger with puzzled eyes from time to time, as if she wanted to see something from him.

None of the people present were ordinary people. Although Diana's small movements were not particularly obvious, they did not hide from the eyes of others.

However, including Roger, no one asked Diana why.

After drinking and eating, the group of them returned to the living room.

Roger and Selina sat on the same sofa, and Bruce and Diana sat on the sofa opposite and next to each other.

The maid in the manor brought the tea, and then left the living room.

When there were only four of them left in the living room, Diana said slowly, "Mr. Stark, may I ask, where is your hometown?"

After hearing Diana's question, both Bruce and Selina turned to look at Roger.

Like Diana, they were also interested in this question.

Roger is an outlander who came to Gotham from elsewhere.

Everyone knows this very well.

However, no one but himself knows exactly where he came from.

Bruce had also quietly investigated Roger.

However, he found no other valuable information except that he found out that the identity document used by Roger was made by someone after he came to Gotham.

Before he trusted Roger, he even used Roger's facial recognition data to conduct a large-scale search and investigation in the national database of the United States.

Still got nothing in the end.

"My hometown? Since you want to know, I won't hide it from you."

"My hometown is the florist across the Pacific Ocean."

Roger said with a smile.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't lying.

His hometown is indeed a florist across the Pacific Ocean.

It's just that he is not a flower grower in this world.

But it doesn't matter, even in different universes, the cultural heritage of the flower growers is still the same, and it will not be different because of the different universes.

After hearing his answer, Diana and the others showed their original expressions.

In fact, even if Roger didn't say anything, they had similar doubts.

Not to mention the typical Chinese appearance.

It can be seen that he has a typical Chinese cultural influence from his usual thinking and behavior habits.

Although in the United States, there are many immigrants or descendants of immigrants who look exactly like Chinese people.

But compared with the real Chinese people, these immigrants are obviously different.

For the first generation of immigrants, it is a little bit better, after all, they were still influenced by Chinese culture when they were young.

However, after the second or third generation, these Chinese immigrants are not the same except that they look the same as the flower planters.

The most obvious of these is that their way of thinking has become corrupted.

There is a unified name for this kind of immigrant who is still Chinese on the outside, but has been Westernized on the inside.

Banana man!
Simply put, it is yellow on the outside and white on the inside.

It is precisely because of these characteristics of Chinese civilization in Roger's way of thinking and daily behavior that Bruce and Selina wondered whether he came from a flower grower across the Pacific Ocean.

However, because there was no suitable opportunity, they never really asked about this matter.

Looking at the expressions of Diana and others, Roger continued: "I also have a small question to ask Miss Prince."

"It's convenient to ask, what do you want from me?"

Roger didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point.

Diana is usually active in the Metropolis, and Roger has not been to the Metropolis so far.

Simply put, they have never had any communication at all.

However, it was in such a completely uncommunicative situation that Diana suddenly wanted to come to Gotham to meet her, which made Roger curious.

Diana didn't answer Roger immediately, but frowned and fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, she said slowly: "I received a message from my father, saying that you may have a major impact on the future of Paradise Island."

"He didn't say what impact you will have on Paradise Island, but it is related to Paradise Island. I need to come and meet you in person."

Who is Diana's father, except for Selina, Roger and Bruce are very clear.

Zeus, king of the gods of Olympus!
The real king of gods!

After hearing Diana's answer, it was Roger's turn to show a puzzled expression.

Of course he knew where Paradise Island was, and he didn't doubt that Zeus had the ability to predict the future.

But the problem is, he doesn't think he will have any impact on Paradise Island.

Apart from wanting to do some pleasant things with Diana, the princess of Paradise Island, and that he may need the blacksmith of Paradise Island to strengthen the storm hammer with amber gold, he doesn't think he will have other connections with Paradise Island.

"Is that all your father said?"

Roger said slowly.

"That's all!"

Not only Roger felt a little confused, but even Diana herself felt a little abnormal.

Although Roger's strength seems to be quite strong, she doesn't think that Roger can have a major impact on the future of Paradise Island.

After hearing Diana's answer, everyone fell silent.

Zeus isn't the kind of god who's bored enough to joke around with his own daughter.

Although he is indeed not a very serious god king, he is the king of the gods of Olympus anyway.

"Has your father given you similar reminders before?"

Roger's voice sounded again.

"No! This is the first time he took the initiative to contact me."

Diana quickly replied.

Zeus, who had never contacted Diana before, contacted his daughter for the first time and gave an unclear reminder.

This does look a bit unusual though.

But it's not surprising when one considers the circumstances facing the gods of Olympus today.

Although the gods of Olympus are not dead, they still live in Olympus, but their connection with the earth has reached the point where it is almost negligible.

Nowadays, new gods are constantly appearing, and the days of the old gods of Olympus are getting more and more difficult.

Although Roger didn't know what happened to them, judging from the current situation, they should not be in the mood to pay attention to the earth.

In other words, want to pay attention, but can't do anything about it.

Roger couldn't say exactly what the reason was. In short, in this world, the influence of the Olympian gods is probably only myths and legends.

"Since this is the case, what are you going to do next, Miss Prince?"

"You can tell me that you plan to sell me or tie me up, so as to completely eliminate my possible influence on Paradise Island."

If Diana is an antihero or supervillain, maybe Roger really needs to think about it.

But now, he doesn't care about it at all.

In fact, the three of Diana could tell that he was joking.

"If burying you or tying you up can completely eliminate it, I will consider it."

Diana showed a charming smile and said slowly.

"Miss Prince, when you want to do something, please tell me in advance, so that I can run away early."

Roger said quickly.

"This is my contact information. If you think of anything, you can contact me at any time."

After speaking, Diana took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Roger.

"it is good!"

After chatting with Diana, Roger took Selina out of the manor, and returned to the den where they lived.

Diana, the charismatic heroine, was met.

But the problem is that Diana also seems to have brought new problems.

Although Roger just showed a face of indifference, he did not ignore the reminder Zeus gave Diana.

With Zeus' strength and status, it was impossible for him to give Diana such an unclear reminder for no reason.

Since he did this, it means that in Zeus's view, this is a very serious problem.

A problem that even the king of the gods of Olympus considers serious, Roger will certainly give corresponding attention.

But for now, he couldn't figure out what Zeus' hint meant.

Is this reminding him not to contact Paradise Island, or encouraging him to contact Paradise Island.

After meeting Diana, Roger lived a normal life again.

Go to work, do charity, go to work, do charity...

Days go by like this.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

It has been two or three months since I traveled to this world, but the system is still under maintenance.

Looking at the system that didn't know when it would return to normal, Roger sighed helplessly.

Although he is quite satisfied with his current life now, it is still not a good thing that the system has not been restored.

During this month, although he did not do any unexpected things, he did not stop some of his hobbies.

For example, research some gadgets yourself.

Because of the sudden reminder given by Zeus, he temporarily canceled the plan to let the blacksmith of Paradise Island use amber gold to strengthen the storm hammer.

When he didn't figure out what Zeus's hint meant, he felt that he should avoid the so-called connection with Paradise Island as much as possible.

Of course, Diana is an exception.

Although Diana did not live in Gotham for a long time, she also stayed in Gotham for about half a month before leaving.

During that half month, Roger occasionally chatted with her about the hints given by Zeus.

But unfortunately, because they knew too little information at hand, none of them came to any useful conclusions.

If there is anything to gain, it is that they have roughly determined the strength of the other party.

In the case of only using side fruits, Roger has the strength to defeat Diana.

However, that doesn't mean he can ignore Diana.

After fighting, he discovered that Diana's mantra lasso actually had the effect of elementalizing natural fruits.

Even though he is elementalized, the lasso of mantra can still touch his physical body.

This discovery not only shocked him, even Diana herself did not think of it.

And it's not just the lasso of mantra, Diana's other weapons are also tricky.

The Vulcan sword can hurt his body, which is far more powerful than normal people, and the divine power released by the guardian silver bracelet can also hurt him in an elemental state.

Not to mention the various divine powers and talents bestowed on Diana by the twelve main gods of Olympus.

To put it simply, Diana has the strength to confront Roger in a normal state.

Given some other favorable conditions, she could even defeat or even kill Roger.

According to Roger's estimation, if it was a one-on-one life-and-death battle, if he and Diana went all out, their winning percentage would be around [-]-[-]%.

Roger six, Diana four.

This win rate looks good, but it is only an estimated win rate.

And even if Roger could really kill Diana, he would suffer a lot of damage himself.

After confirming this, both he and Diana felt a little heavy.

Diana's heart was heavy because he found that he couldn't take Roger down completely by himself.

Roger's heart was heavy because he found that his own strength, which could only use side fruits, was too weak.

There is no way to use the main fruit line fruit, his power is equivalent to disappearing more than half of it out of thin air.

Although his current strength is enough for him to deal with most of the problems, it still gives him a sense of crisis.

Diana's strength in the DC world is not particularly top-notch. Although there are not many people who can defeat her, they are not very few.

Not to mention, Superman has the strength to suppress Diana.

If you count other aliens or demons or something, it's even more.
