Diana tilted her head and thought for a moment. She nodded silently and looked away.
Luke didn't say anything else. He turned around and continued with his Paradise Island Night Barbecue.
Their conversation just now had been a test.
Since it was a test, he couldn't push her too hard.
Besides, as the saying went, one could be firm without desires.
He really didn't have any specific goals for Paradise Island at the moment, especially if he couldn't build any weapons. Who knew what else he could get?
Without high expectations, he naturally wouldn't worry about personal gains and losses.
However, if a master psychologist couldn't understand the meaning behind the legend of the war goddess, all his practical goals would be for nothing.
She was still full of uncertainty, but this was already a lot better than before.
But Luke wasn't here in DC just to pick up girls. The Goddess of War's conflicted attitude would actually make his future life more interesting.
That was life.
When his physique had skyrocketed in the beginning, he had been having fun for a while.
It was fun, but it was essentially no different from when Tony was still a playboy. At most, he had a higher bottom line, and couldn't drive a naked girl out of the house.
Later, his interests had shifted to farming points and cultivation, and he wasn't interested in pure physical contact.
Now, it was very difficult for a top beauty to do anything with him, because his interests had expanded to the wider universe.
Fortunately, this was DC, and he was facing the unique "Princess of War." Otherwise, he would at most tease her like he did with Mera and keep his distance.
His hands didn't stop moving even though his mind was filled with these random thoughts.
His fingers brushed past the processed meat, and skewers extended out of the nano armor at his fingertips to skewer the ingredients.
The nano materials kept the "skewers" shape as they left the armor.
Diana was attracted by the rich aroma. She lowered her head and saw how Luke used the nano armor. She couldn't help but complain. "Your armor sure has a lot of functions."
Luke chuckled. "It's just a tool. Also, it's sterilized with plasma to ensure hygiene."
Diana was lost for words. Was I talking about hygiene?
That being said, when Luke handed her the first batch of skewers, she couldn't help but reach out to grab them.
Thinking for a moment, she felt that she should do something.
Whether or not he knew how to cook was a matter of talent, but whether or not he did things was a matter of attitude.
So, she walked into the house and single-handedly brought out a white marble jar with two stone bowls at the mouth of the jar.
She pulled out the cork and poured out two bowls of orange-red fruit wine. She pushed one bowl over and raised her own bowl. "I wish you … well, everything goes well."
Amused, Luke also raised his glass. "May Your Highness prosper."
Diana laughed. "Don't worry, call me if there's anything. I guarantee victory."
The two wine bowls collided lightly, emitting a 'ding' sound. The wine in the bowls rippled slightly, reflecting the stars in the sky.
…
The next day, the meeting with Hippolyte, Queen of the Amazons, did not turn out to be what the readers of his previous life would have loved to see.
There was no mockery, no slaps, no foot-washing water, and no Zeus suddenly jumping out to acknowledge Luke as a brother. Everything was as serious as a state visit.
In fact, Queen Hippolytus treated it as a state visit. Love to read?
Diana had been able to convince her so easily because of the Wasteland Wolf Helmet that Luke had asked her to bring back, as well as the battle.
Given the strength that Luke had revealed, he wasn't someone that intelligent creatures with normal thinking could trample on casually.
Also, Luke had asked Diana to tell the Amazons that he could sell short-distance space fighter jets.
It wasn't that the Amazons were very fond of such technology, or were afraid of its destructive power, but that they didn't have the ability to fight in space.
This also meant that Luke could launch an attack or retreat at any time, and had the absolute initiative.
They weren't enemies, but a strong enough friend was always more respectable.
After various considerations, Hippolyte had agreed so quickly to Luke's request for a meeting on the island.
But Luke didn't know what would be useful to him on Paradise Island, so they naturally didn't reach a specific deal.
However, the queen generously gave him a week and opened the general areas of Paradise Island to him. In any case, there weren't any secrets in those places.
Luke thanked the queen politely for her generosity, then left the palace with the guards.
After he disappeared from the palace, the queen turned to look at Diana. "Are you sure he's only in his thirties?"
Diana, who had been watching the meeting without saying a word, relaxed her dignified and solemn posture at that moment. She picked up a stone stool and sat down. "I'm not sure. I asked Bruce, um, that Batman, to check his resume, and he told me that it was forged. It was just that the resume was too good to be falsified. "
The queen nodded, deep in thought. "Judging from his performance today, he's indeed a very … experienced person. He's very familiar with this kind of formal meeting."
Diana tilted her head. "Maybe it's because he's a tech businessman in the outside world and often negotiates with people?"
The queen shook her head. "You haven't interacted with people like that. Generally speaking, they stand at the top and are used to ordering others around. That's the feeling he gives me, even if he's very polite. "
Diana: "Them? For example … "
The queen glanced at her. "For example, the Atlantean chiefs."
Or your father. She added inwardly.
Without this level of aura, the Amazon Queen would not have said it.
Diana was surprised. She thought for a moment and shook her head. "I really can't tell. In our alliance, Bale is indeed … special, but Batman is usually the one in charge. Bale rarely orders anyone. "
The queen let out an "I've seen through everything" chuckle. "That's because he doesn't need to use a commanding tone to make you listen to him. Am I right?"
Diana thought about it again and nodded speechlessly.
The queen noticed her expression and finally said, "If you have a different feeling for him, don't rush to make a decision."
Diana was stunned. "Huh?"
The queen sighed and reached out to caress her daughter's charming face. "I know very well how you've been for the past hundred years. So don't rush. Let nature take its course. "
Diana smiled and did not shake off her mother's hand. "I'm not a little girl with her first love. There are many men chasing after me. Don't worry."
The queen did not believe that.
The relationship from a hundred years ago, although Diana was still immature and it was her first love, it also had to do with her willful and courageous personality. That was why it started so quickly.
The biggest problem was still curiosity and the sense of mystery.
Now, the man from a hundred years ago might not be able to attract Diana today, but the dark knight clearly had it.
The queen did not want Diana to be attracted to him without knowing it.
Otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to mention it and further deepen Diana's impression of him.
It seemed that things had not reached that point yet, but there was a trend.
But what could the queen do? She could not threaten the dark knight who had personally cut off the head of the wolf in the wilderness!
