2211 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 52

Diana tilted her head and thought for a moment. She nodded silently and looked away.

Luke didnt say anything else and turned back to his night barbecue on Paradise Island.

Their conversation just now had been a test.

Since this was a test, he couldnt push her too hard.

Besides, as the saying went, Righteousness is achieved when one has no secular desires.

He really didnt have any goals for Paradise Island at the moment, especially when it came to forging weapons. Who knew what else he could obtain.

If he didnt have high expectations, he naturally had no worries.

However, if he as a master psychologist couldnt understand the meaning behind the battle G.o.ddess words, it would be a waste.

Her heart was still full of uncertainty. This was already much better than the earliest situation.

But Luke wasnt here to pick up girls. Still, the battle G.o.ddess conflicted feelings would make life more interesting in the future.

That was what life was like.

For example, when his physique was buffed up at the very beginning, he had messed around for a while.

It was satisfying, but it was essentially no different from when Tony had been a playboy. At most, he had a higher moral bottom line and wouldnt kick someone out naked.

Later, his interests basically s.h.i.+fted to grinding points and leveling up as he cultivated his tech abilities; he was no longer interested in pure physical communication.

Now, it was very hard for him to become entangled with a top beauty since his interests had expanded to the wider universe.

Even as his mind whirled with these random thoughts, his hands didnt stop moving.

As his fingers brushed over the meat, the nanomaterial on his fingertips turned into skewers which detached from his armor.

Attracted by the strong aroma, Diana looked up and realized how Luke was using the nanomaterial. She couldnt help but complain, Your armor has so many functions.

Luke chuckled. Its nothing more than a tool, and its sterilized with plasma so that its hygienic.

Diana: Whos talking about hygiene?

That being said, when Luke gave her the first batch of skewers, she couldnt help but accept them.

Thinking for a moment, she still felt that she should do something.

Whether or not he could cook was a matter of talent, but whether or not she could do something was a matter of att.i.tude.

So, she walked into the house and then brought out a white marble pitcher with two stone bowls.

She uncorked the pitcher and filled the two bowls with orange-red fruit wine. She pushed a bowl over and raised her own. May you hm, may everything go smoothly for you.

Amused, Luke raised his bowl as well. May Your Highness prosper in your martial arts.

Diana smiled. Dont worry. Call me if anything happens. I guarantee well win.

The two wine bowls clinked together lightly, and the wine in the bowl rippled slightly, reflecting the stars in the sky.

The next day, his meeting with the Amazon queen, Hippolyta, wasnt as easygoing as what had happened in his last world.

Everything was as serious as a state visit.

In fact, Queen Hippolyta treated this like a state visit.

The reason why Diana had been able to persuade her to have this meeting was closely related to Steppenwolfs helmet, which Luke had told her to bring back.

The strength which Luke had revealed made it clear that he definitely wasnt someone that an intelligent being could casually step on.

Furthermore, Luke had Diana pa.s.s on the fact that he could sell a short-range s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to the Amazons.

It wasnt that the Amazons were unfamiliar with this sort of technology or were fearful of the danger it could pose; it was just that they didnt have the ability to fight a s.p.a.ce battle.

What Luke was saying was that they could use this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to attack or evacuate at any time of their own initiative.

Both sides werent enemies, and people would always respect friends who were strong enough.

It was because of these various considerations that Hippolyta had agreed so quickly to Lukes request to meet on the island.

But Luke himself didnt know what Paradise Island had that could be useful to him, so naturally, the deal wasnt set in stone.

However, the queen generously gave him a week and opened up common areas of Paradise Island to him. In any case, these areas werent top secret.

Luke thanked the queen politely for her generosity and left the palace escorted by the guards.

After he disappeared from the palace entrance, the queen turned to look at Diana. Are you sure hes only in his thirties?

Diana, who had been observing the meeting without saying anything, relaxed and sat down on a stone chair. Im not sure. I had Bruce thats Batman check his background. He told me that it was fake. However, the records are so well done its hard to determine their validity.

The queen nodded thoughtfully. From everything he showed today, hes indeed a very experienced person. Hes very familiar with handling official meetings like this.

Diana tilted her head. Maybe because hes a tech businessman in the outside world and often negotiates with people?

The queen shook her head. You dont have much contact with people like that. Generally speaking, they stand at the top and are used to ordering other people around. Thats the feeling he gives me, even if hes very polite.

Diana: They? For example

The queen glanced at her. Like the rulers of Atlantis.

Or your father, she added inwardly.

The Amazon queen wouldnt have brought this up in particular if Luke didnt have this aura.

Surprised, Diana thought for a moment, then shook her head. I really cant tell. In our league, Bale is indeed special, but its usually Batman who makes the decisions. Bale rarely orders anyone around.

The queen chuckled. Thats because he doesnt need to give orders to make you listen. Am I right?

Diana thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Noticing her expression, the queen finally said, If you have different feelings for him, dont be in a hurry to make a decision.

Diana was stunned. Huh?

The queen sighed and stroked her daughters face. I know very well what the past 100 years have been like for you. So, dont rush. Let nature take its course.

Diana smiled and didnt turn away from her mothers hand. Its not like Im a kid experiencing first love. There are many men who pursue me. Dont worry.

The queen didnt believe her.

The relations.h.i.+p from 100 years ago had started so quickly partly because Diana had been immature and had experienced love for the first time back then, and she was inherently stubborn and unafraid by nature.

The biggest problem was still curiosity and mystery.

The man from 100 years ago might not be able to attract Diana as she was now, but the Dark Knight clearly had those qualities.

The queen didnt want Diana to be unknowingly drawn to them.

Otherwise, she wouldnt have brought it up at the risk of deepening Dianas impression of him.

It seemed that things hadnt reached that stage yet, but it looked like it was heading in that direction.

But what could the queen do? She couldnt threaten the Dark Knight, the person who had personally cut off Steppenwolfs head!
