Chapter 305 4 Tragedy! Iceberg Bar Closed Down Due to Poor Management

Chapter 305 4. Sad! Iceberg Bar closed down due to poor management

The experience of not seeing the real owner during a trip to the Star Castle did not make Mason feel uncomfortable, because his gains far outweighed his unhappiness.

After returning to Osborne Tower from the headquarters of the evil Society of Stars, he locked himself in the alchemy laboratory and was busy making the things that Team K needed most.

That is, a little baby who can ensure that everyone in Gotham acts covertly.

Considering the current situation where Mason is unable to return to his home world frequently and the Star Council has already targeted the Gotham world, it is a certainty that K-Team will maintain a two-sided operation in the coming time. For this reason, Mason is reluctant to send K-Team 1.0 was split into two groups for convenience.

My team can be safe in the new base world of Osborne Tower, but the team members sent back to their hometown and the group of people operating there must have a stronghold that cannot be easily detected and attacked.

Putting people first in everything is Mason’s principle.

However, for an already quite skilled alchemist, this is still a once-in-a-lifetime experience in making cursed items, especially when holding a strange-looking "starry sky creation" as raw material.

"Snapped"

He carefully used jewelry processing tools to cut the ancient slate in his hand, and repaired it along the outline of the very abstract big eyeball. After removing the excess stone, he got the main material the size of a fist.

During the entire process, Mason covered his eyes with a black cloth to avoid the mental shock caused by looking directly. He completed this delicate work entirely relying on his craftsman's intuition.

The subsequent steps are much simpler.

This material gifted by the Grand Master Warlock has quite magical properties. No matter how carefully Mason makes it, the final product will definitely be a standard-quality whiteboard item.

In this case there is no need to do too much decoration.

Its magic comes from itself, it can be said to be a "natural creature", and it does not require craftsmen to add any extraneous details.

After Mason used alchemical methods to give the stone slab "sturdiness" and "hidden" properties, he used jewelry processing skills to create an outer frame for it.

The final product is like a simple plate, with a pale golden frame inlaid with a dark-colored drawing of an eyeball or a stone slab of an abstract sun in the center.

If you don't tell the truth, others will definitely think that this is some kind of arty old cultural relic.

"It's done!"

Mason held it in front of his eyes to observe, and the information label quickly popped up:

Eyes of the Starry Sky·Aegis of the Outer Gods

Quality: Standard alchemy/jewelry processing items·Standard craftsmanship

Traits: Sturdy, Stealth, Space Expansion, Invisible Counterattack

Effect: Slightly

Producer: Mason Cooper

Item description: San value -1, San value -1, San value -1 Congratulations! You are crazy!

"Look carefully. Hey, it's indeed quite evil."

This time, Mason deeply agreed with the unorthodox description of the item. After all, even he, the maker, did not dare to look directly at the lines in the center of this aged plate.

"If you really put this thing on the streets of Gotham, your cesspit hometown will probably have a lot of difficult doomsday cult psychopaths in a few days."

The hat on Mason's forehead complained:

"Although the effect is definitely very good, I suggest you bury it deep under the Glacier Bar and don't let anyone dig it out. It is simply a crime."

"Isn't there nothing we can do?"

Mason sighed, put the Eye of Starry Disk into a closed box, held it in his hand, and said:

"As it is now, without this kind of alien god's creation, there is really no way to suppress the situation. Just a Doctor of Destiny knocking on the door is enough to wipe out the people I sent there overnight.

Those of us who have become street rats in our hometown can’t ask for more, right? "

"They will be won over, just like the sullen warlock."

Hat reminds:

"Spellcasters are mostly emotional and stubborn, and their path of occultism is more susceptible to the influence of the dark stars leading to catastrophic circumstances.

After realizing that persistence is difficult to get results, there is no guarantee that someone will not turn to darkness, and their instinct to admire knowledge also makes them easy to fall into traps deliberately set for them.

Of course you can track down the second half of the superheroes by sending Thomas Wayne, but you also have to prepare in advance for the magic circle. Zatanna alone is not enough to deal with this secret change.

Although she is keen and has a promising future, after all, she is unable to defeat four hands with two fists. "

"I know, I'm already preparing."

Mason took out a set of more formal clothes from his luggage and said while changing:

"Although we can't send Zha Kang back to preside over major events in the Magic Circle, we have another option at hand.

Jason Blood has been wandering in the wasteland for long enough. He couldn't help it before, but now with Xiao Shen as a messenger, he can find a safe way home for him.

I believe the old knight will be on our side. "

"Mr. K!"

The door of the alchemy room was pushed open, and Harley, wearing a red dress, shouted at the door:

"Everyone is about to leave. Selena asked me to call you. I heard that there will be a lot of excitement over there tonight. I don't want to miss it, and we have to bring Ivy back quickly.

I miss her so much. "

"Come here."

Mason straightened his collar, buttoned up and took the box with him. Then he was supported by Harry on his arms and pulled to the top of Osborne Tower.

Three gates to the world are lined up on the wall of the big lounge.

Two of them are temporarily unusable because they were sealed by spellcasters in Gotham. The World Gate from the Six-Headed Snake Team became their only channel between the two worlds.

All the members of Team K are here now.

Everyone, including Ergong, changed into formal clothes for the opening ceremony. They were going back to Gotham tonight for a trip, and almost everyone had their own things to do as soon as possible.

"You guys get ready."

Mason looked at several other people in the break room, including Supergirl Kara-El, Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes, and Professors Jax Jackson and Martin Stein who made up Firestorm.

He said to the new reserve members of Team K who were "kidnapped":

"We both need to talk when I come back. I know you are all unhappy, but now that you are here, perhaps instead of remembering the past, what you are more urgent about right now is looking forward to the future."

"Ah, bad enemy, you want to stay? I don't want to be with you."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, a big man wearing a Superman uniform but with an upside-down S on his chest came forward and said something provocative with a look of reluctance, which made the members of Team K laugh.

The powerful but bad-minded zombie Superman pulled Mason's wrist and shook him. He was obviously a super big man, but the expression on his face at this time was like a sad child.

Mason looked at the scary-looking guy with gray skin and cracks everywhere in front of him. He sighed and said:

"Stay here, Bizarro, you're going to cause trouble in the past. Zedd will play with you, okay?"

"Zod is a bad enemy, but Mason is stupid. Bizarro hates playing with Mason. You can make me stupid! I like stupid people! Everyone in Team K is stupid!"

Not only did the members of Team K burst out laughing when he said this, but even the four reserve members who were very hostile to Mason covered their mouths.

Bizarro always wants to listen to what he says.

Those unfamiliar with his style would think he was being deliberately provocative, but this clumsy but pure-hearted guy was just trying to show his kindness.

He has been very close to Mason since he was revived by Mason, but his reckless style makes Mason really dare not bring him into his alchemy room or workshop.

That was a disaster.

"Here's this for you, it might make you a little smarter."

Mason took out a bottle of intelligence-enhancing potion from his bag and gave it to Bizarro. This potion from Hogwarts Potion Heritage can make the drinker "smart" in a short period of time.

But this is just an illusion.

Its real effect is to clear one's mind from the interference of confusing magic.

However, for Bizarro, whose brain is not fully developed, what he needs is not real wisdom but just the "feeling" of intelligence. He took Mason's potion, pulled out the stopper, drank it, and then wiped it. His gray-blue eyes lit up and he cheered:

"Yeah! You're getting stupid! You're getting stupid! Zod, the bad enemy, hurry up! Let's play the crossword puzzle! I will definitely lose this time!"

He cheered and pulled up the helpless Fal Zod and rushed out the door.

The helpless Zod made a gesture to Mason before leaving, telling him not to worry. He would stay here to take care of Bizarro and watch over the four restless reserve members.

This Kryptonian from the world of death has a strong distrust of humans because of his experiences in the first half of his life, and he also behaved very withdrawn when he came to Osborne Tower.

But I only get along well with the heartless and brainless Bizarro.

Perhaps because of seeing the unpredictable nature of people, Zod obviously prefers to play with fools. At least fools will not hide their evil intentions to harm him, and even with Bizaro's crazy appearance, he is the only Zod in the K team. De Neng could barely keep an eye on him.

"I've always wanted to ask you, what happened to that lonely Kryptonian?"

When Mason and his friends opened the door to the world, Supergirl, who was floating in the air with her arms folded, suddenly asked:

"Especially the family crest on his body"

"You can ask him yourself, or you can be patient and wait for me to come back."

Mason said without looking back:

"Stop causing trouble in Osborne Tower. The old Green Goblin endures your misbehavior just for my sake. If you piss him off, you won't get as much benefit from him."

After saying that, his figure disappeared into the rotating starry sky, and the door to the world slammed shut.

The four people in the lounge looked at each other, and finally it was Jacks who took the initiative and said:

"Do it?"

"Walk!"

Kara ordered.

He rushed out of the lounge window first, accelerated and disappeared into the sky.

Little Black Jacks and the white-haired Professor Stein joined hands to activate the firestorm matrix on their chests, transformed into elemental men in the blazing fire, grabbed the blue beetle whose main weapon was sealed, and rushed into the sky amidst cheers.

Obviously, they had no intention of staying here just as Mason told them. They were still thinking about how to get rid of the constraints of the damn K-Team.

And this scene was clearly seen by Norman Osborne in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office.

The old Green Goblin smiled sinisterly, turned around and gave instructions to the secretary standing behind him:

"Notify those bellicose Amazons that something dangerous has escaped from the Osborne Tower, and ask them to help hunt it down. In return, we will support them with supplies to rebuild Paradise Island.

Tell those she-wolves to be more ruthless!

These ungrateful little bastards destroyed half of my building before. Do they really think that all my resources were blown away by the strong wind? Now that their guardian is gone, it's time to teach them the rules of the adult world. "

——

"boom"

Huge fireworks exploded in the sky above the Iceberg Bar, causing cheers from passers-by. Tonight, the bar was bustling with guests from all walks of life invited.

Luxury cars stopped one after another, and distinguished guests appeared one after another.

The camera flashes on both sides of the red carpet were dazzling, and there were even local reporters broadcasting the opening ceremony.

However, the once iconic Iceberg Bar sign has been torn down and replaced with the "Afterlife" logo composed of very elegant and artistic fonts.

That’s right!

This bar, originally run by Kite Man Charles Brown, has closed down due to poor management due to repeated vandalism in a short period of time. The mysterious rich man took over the unlucky bar and spent huge manpower and material resources to open it in a few days. It will reopen tonight after renovations have been completed.

Gee, just look at the celebrities in front of you who are smiling as if they were attending a charity dinner at the Wayne family, and you will know that this new boss must be another person with great hands and eyes.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the bar, Mason looked at the lively scene below and said:

"I originally wanted to open the business in a low-key manner. After all, this place is doing shady business."

"So, you're really not suited to intelligence gathering and concealment, Mason."

Talia al Ghul's calm voice sounded behind the captain.

Tonight, the assassin leader was wearing a gorgeous black evening dress, which perfectly outlined the figure of this cunning and fox-like woman, adding a bit of cold temptation to her already beautiful appearance.

To be honest, after being reborn for so long, this Thalia is indeed the only woman who can compete with Catwoman in terms of temperament. Unfortunately, she is a fairy, and she is focused on the master.

Holding a glass of wine, she walked up to Mason and whispered:

“In a chaotic place like Gotham, if you want to live a stable life, you have to show your skills and strength. These so-called celebrities are meaningless in the eyes of the League of Assassins.

But the resources they represent will keep the bar safe for the long term.

Charles Brown just doesn't understand this, and that's why he runs this golden-egg bar so poorly. I just went to see the accounts, and wow, saying he can't make ends meet is just flattering him.

It's just that I don't understand, why do you have to use this name?

afterlife

It sounds like an ominous smell. "

"Because the owner of this bar is not me, nor you."

Mason checked the time on his watch. The moment he turned around, the secret door of the secret area placed in the office cubicle on the top floor of the bar was pushed open.

Rogge, a handsome old aunt in leather clothes, walked out of it with a team of androids.

She looked around and nodded to Mason, then snapped her fingers. The androids behind her in formal suits immediately dispersed and went to take over various departments of the bar.

In the cubicle behind him, more business talents and security personnel from the 2077 world filed out.

"Is this the position you chose?"

Aunt Rogge strode forward, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked around. After a few seconds, she nodded and said:

"Yes, it's a good place to open a bar. I can't stay here for a long time, but I will leave a few people to take charge of the operation. Girl Zhudi will set up the communication network database here. I selected fifty smart and capable people from the gods. The mercenaries stayed behind.

A bionic human production line will be sent over soon, and it will be blended with it. If necessary, the personality data of the 500-person Terrorist Mobile Team can be quickly downloaded through the data interface of Shenyu.

But you have to provide the matching weapons. "

After finishing speaking, the old aunt glanced at Thalia beside her. She looked at the woman up and down, nodded and said:

"Yes, he is a good prospect to be a mercenary. Are you interested in registering in the afterlife team? We are in short supply of qualified mercenaries right now. I can reserve a spot for you."

"This is my man, Roger."

Mason shook his head and said:

"Isn't your poaching too blatant?"

"Ha, I'm just kidding. Anyway, you two seem to have a seemingly inseparable relationship. Just dig around and you might find something unexpected."

The old aunt laughed, took the wine handed by Mason and drank it in one gulp. Then she looked around, the blue light in her eyes spinning.

After a moment he said:

"The space-time disturbance when the world gate opened was completely smoothed out, without a trace of energy leaking out. It seems you got something good?"

"That is."

Mason picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for his partner. He picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly. He glanced at the Eye of the Starry Sky placed in the office display cabinet and said softly:

"This is the base of operations of Team K and Team Afterlife in this world. If I don't make it safer, won't I make you look down on me?

But even things like the Mikoshi interface are placed here. It seems that Captain Morgan has made up his mind. Are you sure you want to participate in the conflicts that will arise in this world? "

"We are allies, Mason. Don't say anything like this to outsiders. It will affect the relationship."

Aunt Roger looked at the brightly lit city in front of her.

She raised her glass again and said in a deep voice in the background that resembled the Night City in front of her:

"To the stars, I will touch my head here with blood! Cheers."
