Luke spread his hands. "Since the group is unconscious, why do we need someone else to lead the group against us?"
Victor was lost for words. A moment later, he asked, "How do we do that?"
He had figured it out, but it wasn't possible for him to come up with a plan immediately.
Luke chuckled. "It's very simple. You have to be the one who speaks the most passionately, or at least one of them. "
Victor's face twitched. Wasn't this "I'm scolding myself"?
Luke ignored his hesitation. "Also, you can keep it up until there's an obvious" big wave "…"
Victor couldn't help but add, "Bite back?"
Luke chuckled. "No, make it even crazier."
Victor: "What?"
Luke said, "If the slogan is clearer, simpler, and more provocative, the group will unconsciously follow it. At that time, you just have to say something even more outrageous, and those people will follow."
Of course, Victor knew that this was in the books, but he had never used it before.
Luke said, "It's like some vigilantes. A lot of people support protests against torture, but if you protest against the slaughter of livestock for meat, everyone will treat it as a joke."
Victor was lost for words. You're asking me to lead the way, but you're leading them into a trap!
It was a very simple idea that a lot of people knew, but it would always work.
The only important thing was that you had to be capable enough to gain the "right to speak" of the group.
It really wasn't hard for Victor, who was countless times more capable than Gold Nugget on the Internet in terms of "trolling."
He didn't question the morality of this behavior. He didn't have the patience of Superman, and wouldn't scold someone without fighting back.
He simply considered the possibilities. "What about the people? At some point, I'll definitely have to appear in person, and this plan requires me to have multiple IDs. "
Luke said, "I'll give you a list of names. These people are professional PR people I hired to begin with. You can use their identities, and they'll appear when the time comes."
Victor heaved a sigh of relief.
Doing something online would only take a bit of time.
In reality, he didn't have the professional ability to communicate with people, and he couldn't even act well.
Just like that, Luke and Victor worked together to perfect this "Shadow Plan." It was Victor who had come up with the name, saying that it was cooler.
Luke readily accepted his advice. In any case, he wasn't that good at naming things.
A week later, Lord Wei called the two of them out of the laboratory.
For once, the minibus didn't go to work for free. It followed Luke and Selina to a desolate plot of land on the outskirts of Gotham City.
The car stopped in front of an abandoned manor, and Minibus got out while enjoying the cake. He turned around and asked Luke, "Where are we?"
Luke pointed at Victor with a smile so that the young man could get to know each other.
Victor was like a super database. He only took a look in his mind. "Decades ago, this place belonged to the Wayne family."
Xiao Ba exclaimed, "No way? How can you just throw away such a big Haus? "
He was right.
Unlike the manor that Luke had bought, which was basically intact, this one was in ruins.
The roofs, doors, windows, and other facilities were all incomplete. There was no maintenance at all. It was even possible that they had been stolen and sold for scrap.
Other than trash or things that were inconvenient to move, there was basically nothing left inside. It was just half an empty shelf. There was no need to decorate it even for a horror movie.
After a brief hesitation, Victor said in a low voice, "This place was abandoned after Bruce's parents were killed."
Xiao Ba's throat cracked, and he spat out a lot of cake foam. He then said awkwardly, "Fine, let's not talk about that."
While they were talking, two cars arrived and stopped behind Luke's car.
Lord Wei got out of the Lamborghini. "You're here? What are you talking about? "
Xiao Ba subconsciously replied, "Ah, we're not talking about anything."
There was suspicion in Lord Wei's eyes, but he didn't pursue the matter.
Xiao Ba was still a good kid. He didn't have any bad intentions, and didn't need to be as self-centered as a certain someone.
Diana also got out of the car behind them. After greeting each other, they followed Lord Wei into the manor.
After entering the main building and passing through a hall that was more than ten meters long, Lord Wei pushed open two dusty doors.
A hall that was covered in dust and some debris appeared in front of them.
However, this hall had a ceiling that was ten meters high, a depth of forty meters, neatly arranged ancient Roman-style white main bodies on both sides, and a broken giant crystal chandelier that had fallen to the ground. Everyone could imagine how magnificent this place was in the past.
With an expectant expression on his face, Lord Wei gestured. "In the future, we'll put a round table and seven chairs here …"
Diana interrupted him politely. "We can add more seats."
Lord Wei turned around and looked at her and the others. He nodded. "Yes, there will definitely be more."
The others more or less understood what they were talking about.
The Americans weren't unfamiliar with the Knights of the Round Table.
The Round Table, on the other hand, was about equality.
While Lord Wei was paranoid and wanted to be in control, he certainly wouldn't put on a "listen to me" attitude on the surface. At most, he would make a few more plans behind the scenes.
Diana, on the other hand, made it clear that this wasn't a closed circle, and like-minded superheroes had to be recruited.
Compared with the verbal agreement that everybody had made with the Wolf of the Wasteland earlier, the round table and chairs that were about to be placed here were the "official contracts."
That was also because nobody had chickened out during the battle with the Wolf of the Wasteland, and everybody had begun to acknowledge each other.
Lord Wei was doing this to formalize the Righteous Alliance.
Luke was in favor of it, and Diana had no objections. This was the old man's three votes, and it was unlikely that Superman would object.
Arthur wasn't among the new teammates, but Junior Barker and Victor didn't object.
That was basically a unanimous vote.
For a moment, Lord Wei was full of ambition.
Having teammates was really different from fighting alone.
While he would still be highly vigilant against one or two people, that was in his nature.
Compared with the people that the chairman of Wayne Corporation was in contact with, the members of the Righteous Alliance were much more trustworthy.
…
They didn't spend too much time in the dilapidated manor. Ten minutes later, they took a quick look at the future "conference hall," and listened to Lord Wei's general opinions before they retreated.
But before they left, Luke approached Diana with a smile. "You're wearing a beautiful outfit today."
Diana smiled and looked at her dark red suit, as well as the wheat cleavage under the V-neck. "Thank you."
Luke said, "So, may I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"
Diana's eyes sparkled. "You're really good at saying that."
Luke said, "I saw Bruce use it before, so I copied it."
Lord Wei, who wasn't far away, suddenly felt his ears itch, as if they were being harassed by mosquitoes.
