Yeah, even if there are side effects, it's better than eating people, I guess.... I honestly don't care, I just have a lot of problems with these people. Cutting them up, feeding them, wasting drugs, it's all very annoying. If I can replace them with this magic water, the side effects can be tolerated. Hopefully it will be something simple, I wouldn't want to go off the rails or get hurt too badly somehow. Plus, if I can completely quench my appetite from a drop, it's definitely worth it. With that, I might even risk eating a speedster's bone marrow..... Okay, I'll drink it and see what happens, if anything changes, I'll have to stop. It's not hard to switch to human meat, I'll just finish the rest and start drinking this liquid. I hope it's not addictive.
Yeah, where do I put it? There are a couple places in the suit where I can put something, but the flask is too big to take.
After wandering around the league building, in one of the rooms, I found a burley, I think it'll do the trick. It holds about a liter, which should last me a long time. If I run out, I can always come back for another batch.
After getting some water, I put on my armor and headed out, there's nothing else to do here. I'll go back to Central City and finish everything there.....
***
When I got back to Central City, I went straight to my base and tested the water from the Lazarus Pit. The nutrition was the same, nothing had changed at all, which was good to see. Unlike meat, the nutrition doesn't fade over time at all, it seems the water really is magic. I checked a couple times on the plane and everything was fine. There was no fever or anything like that, it was a little weird.... Maybe it was because I drank too much last time? Well, never mind, I'll just get on with the business. I'm not sure when Hartley's coming, so I'm going to work out the financial problems and build my business empire. I'll do that until Thawne shows up, and then we'll see. Maybe I'll step in, maybe I won't, no new metas for a few months, so I'll see what happens.
While I was doing "negotiations" with the local bandits, Barry ran into Grodd and of course won. It's all very ridiculous, I remember how it happened so it's even funnier to me..... I can influence the world, but some events still happen, even if they are ridiculous. Defeating Grodd is one of those.... A telepathic monkey gets hit by a train? It's normal in this world, I hope one day this nonsense ends. It's bad enough I've got a clueless Flash, I've got villains like this... Actually, I'm not sure how this world works or why I'm here. Although, I can definitely benefit from some stupid situations, I just need to remember everything down to the smallest detail. My brain has improved, so I've written out everything I remember, but who knows, in case I missed something, it's not going to be pleasant... Anyway, if Barry won, that means it won't be long until the final battle. Maybe I'll show up, but right now.
In front of me, a bald man hung by his feet and begged:
«No, no, please. Don't kill me, I'll do anything, I swear! - I was slowly cutting him and trying to get him to do something. This guy was a pervert, involved in the slave trade and human traffickers. I found a basement in his house with a couple of girls under eighteen, and he was a real bastard. Funny thing is, Flash probably would have sent him to prison, how ridiculous..... Superhero justice always made me laugh. Death would be an easy punishment for him, so I'm going to torture him a bit before that. I needed his company, I guess you could say it was the foundation from which I wanted to proceed. It was called WrightsTech, not a popular company, but it had a good income and a couple of branches. It even had a subsidiary, so it was promising. This guy was able to get it to this point in just a couple of years, his connections to the underworld helped him. The company specialized in simple electronics, not self-made. So it was a long way from giants like Palmer Technology. If I can find a couple of good inventors, I can start making some decent stuff. I'll get rid of my past ventures and invest everything in this one, then start building a great company. All that's left is to get him to reveal the names of everyone he's worked with and cut them out. I don't need everyone associated with this company, every thug that was involved in its growth needs to disappear. I didn't want some trash getting in the way of my business...
I lowered my head and said coldly:
«Then tell me all the names, everyone you work with, anyone connected to WrightsTech. Miss one, and I'll cut off your ears.
The fat man nodded and spoke in a pleading voice:
«I'll say, no... I mean, untie me, I have a list, I can show you.
*♪ Shoo ♪ ♪ Bang ♪
When he cut the rope, the fat man slumped and shrieked, then ran to his desk. He rummaged through his desk and pulled out a small flash drive, handing it to me with trembling hands:
«There, that's it. It's all here, now. Will you let me go now?
«Get off... *I pushed the fat man aside and went over to his laptop and started checking the contents of the memory card.
When the window opened, I turned to this pig and grudgingly asked:
«Password?
«Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 67..8..2...
When the password came up, I started looking through the contents of the flash drive, there was quite a bit of interesting stuff on there. It looked like this guy collected everything he could on the people he worked with, probably once he wanted to get rid of the tails and clean up after himself. I looked at him and grinned. Good for you, no doubt about it.... Hmm, there are even stolen designs from other companies in here, as well as schematics of various weapons. Armored vehicles, rocket launchers... Not bad, might come in handy...
When I was done with that, I decided to deal with the fat man and his business. It was simple, he had eighty percent of the company's stock, and now I would have it. With the rest I'll settle everything the same way and get a full stake. If everything goes right, no one will be able to touch it. The fat man tearfully signed all the papers, and then I knocked him out, it was too early to kill him, he would be useful to me. Now it's just a matter of pretending to be him and officially handing over the company. What's more, I'll even hand over all his savings, which are not few.... Having the ability to change my appearance is very useful. Now I won't even be suspected of anything. Of course it will be strange that he gave me everything, but if he does it himself, no one will blame me. He'll give it to me willingly and then die under strange circumstances. His cellar with the slaves will be found, and afterward he will be despised, and all the dirt will fall on him. I won't be noticed in all this. It's a good plan, if Faceless did the same thing, he could live his life in peace.
