"Hey, the council transfers money really fast."

In the bar, Laura looked at her bank balance and praised it repeatedly.

The 750 million bounty has been received.

Laika on the side couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, but after all, she had kept it secret from Laura for so long, so she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything.

Fortunately Laura took the initiative.

"Just a suggestion, how should this money be divided?"

Laika suddenly became energetic.

"Come, let me analyze it with you."

"I have a couple seniors on the council. They not only protected Kate, but also saved Louis. They helped us eliminate the Green Goblin. We have to take care of everything."

"Oh, I also hired someone to steal the Osborne Group's secrets for 100 million."

"Of course it's me in the end, haha. You don't need to repeat what I did. You all know it."

Take the initiative to find Laura, help her file a lawsuit, and prevent the Green Goblin from digging up the ancient tomb.

He also single-handedly beat the Green Goblin half to death.

"As for you... when the Green Goblin was already [-]% on the street... you shot him in the head."

Laika blinked: "So...how do you think the money should be divided?"

Laika didn’t know how Laura wanted to divide the money. Anyway, his expected share was four to six.

Laura is four and he is six.

I have deceived the girl for so long, so I need some mental compensation, right?

After Laura thought for a while, she smiled crookedly and said: “You also missed one of your contributions.”

"what?"

"You had a thousand opportunities to take advantage of my 1000 million bonus in the past few days, but you didn't do it and even protected me secretly..."

It's not that Laika didn't expect it, but she didn't dare to mention it.

Again, after all, he had lied to Laura for so long.

"Oh yes...you reminded me."

Laika took out her phone and opened the non-public bounty list on the council app.

"Laura, your reward has been removed."

Everyone who offered the reward has died, so there is no need for the reward to exist.

I just don’t know if Green Goblin paid for it in advance.

"Okay, it's worth celebrating." Laura clinked glasses with Laika, "When I think about it, I will give you the share you deserve."

"... "

Why does this sound so much like an excuse?

Laura drank the whiskey in her glass.

"Okay, it's time to get to the topic."

"Yes." Laika also drank his wine in one gulp.

Laura stared straight at Laika: "You approached me and did so many things to gain my trust and let me take you to get the ether, right?"

"Yes."

Laika is very honest, "I am just a layman. If I have the opportunity to make a fortune, of course I must seize it."

"Okay, for the sake of you helping me and saving me, I'll give you one minute to convince me why I want to take you on a treasure hunt."

"Because even if we don't dig out the ether, someone else will dig it out!"

Laura frowned fiercely: “Norman is dead.”

"But he's not the only one who knows the secrets of Alaska's ancient tombs."

Laika pulled out a document from behind and handed it to Laura.

"This is information about ether collected by Norman. According to email records, he once sent this information to a mercenary named Slade Wilson."

"Slade Wilson." Laura became alert, "Death Knell?"

"It's him. Norman originally wanted to hire him to go into the ancient tomb to search for the ether. Although the death knell is not a good thing, he is trustworthy and will do things for him if he accepts Norman's money."

Laika tapped Laura's forehead, "But...Norman has been shot to death by you."

"You mean... Deathstroke no longer needs to keep his promise and will enter the tomb on his own."

"Why not? What a huge temptation it is to reshape the world with your own will."

Endless wealth, everlasting power, everlasting life.

Resurrection of dead relatives…

Laika continued: "And, how do you know that Norman is the only one who knows the secret of the ether?"

"what do you mean…"

"Maybe there is still a group of people hiding in the dark waiting for the moment of the nine-star connection. They are just not as ostentatious as Norman..."

Laura was silent.

Who dares to say that this possibility does not exist.

"So, defense alone cannot completely eliminate the possibility of someone using ether to do evil."

Laika nodded to herself, "For example, you can't stop me."

I have to admit, this makes sense.

Laika has obtained the Alaskan tomb information collected by Norman.

In other words, even if Laura doesn't help, he can still go hunting for treasure by himself.

It’s just that with Laura, an experienced driver, to lead the way, his success rate will greatly increase.

In contrast, the success rate of other guys who covet ether will be greatly reduced.

If there are other guys...

Seeing that Laura was still hesitant, Laika continued to persuade:

"Offense is the best defense. You can't expect to prevent everyone from getting involved in the ether."

"Even if no one else covets the ether now, or if everyone else is blocked by you, what will happen 7000 years later when the next nine stars are connected?"

"You know, you were already dead by then."

"So, the safest way is for you and I to take out the ether, put it into a rocket, and shoot it directly into the sun."

Forever trouble!

Laura smiled: "It's just that before you put the ether into the rocket, you want to use it to realize some wishes?"

"Not a few but one."

Laika spread her hands and said, "There must be some reward for saving the world. I promise you, I will never make a wish that affects others, such as asking all women to wear broom maid costumes or turning the earth into a square.

Laura curled her lips, "Then...what will you wish for?"

"money!"

Laika said frankly, "I haven't decided on the specific amount yet, but it's just a lot of money!"

Lots and lots of draws!

Laura frowned fiercely: "Ether can tamper with reality at will, but you just want to use ether to convert money... This wish is so ordinary that I wonder if you are coaxing me."

That's because you don't know what I can do with money...

"Then you can just supervise me." Laika shrugged, "Anyway, if I make too many wishes, you won't help me, right?"

Laura was silent again.

She was thinking carefully about Laika's words.

Undoubtedly, Laika said this to a large extent to persuade Laura to help him.

But that doesn't mean what he said doesn't make sense.

If someone must be able to use the aether, Laura would rather it be Laika.

After all, all he wants is money.

After all, he saved his own life.

After all, he is more lovable.

After a long silence, Laura asked the bartender for another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Laika was slightly startled: "Where to go?"

"Let's go see Louis first, and then go back to England..."

Laura looked at Laika faintly and said, "Seriously consider your suggestion."

There are still 20 days until the ancient tomb opens.

"In addition, if you are not afraid of wasting your energy, you can also take advantage of this period to find three... no... two people, and we will form a team to go to the tomb together."

Hey, doesn’t this mean basically agreeing?

"Oh, by the way, I've figured out how to divide Norman's bounty."

Laura opened the mobile banking and did a few operations.

"I'll give you what you deserve. Goodbye."

After that, he left the bar.

After Laika pretended to be deep for a while, he couldn't wait to open the mobile banking.
