After Moira Queen and Thea Queen left the bookstore, the driver first took Thea Queen to school, and then drove Moira Queen to the Queen Consolidated building.
In the president's office, someone was waiting for her.
This person was none other than the president of Merlyn Global Group, Malcolm Merlyn!
After Moira Queen entered, Malcolm Merlyn asked in a deep voice, "How was it?"
Moira Queen relayed Samuel's words with a solemn expression, then asked, "Why would he know you, and say that you know about the training?"
Malcolm Merlyn's expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to normal. He said calmly, "I'll handle this matter, you don't need to worry about it."
Moira Queen hesitated to speak, but finally nodded slowly under his calm gaze.
Although she was the President's wife of Queen Consolidated and held real power, and after her husband's accident, she could be said to be in sole charge, completely unafraid of or even beholden to the president of another corporation.
But she was still afraid, still fearful, because she knew how terrifying the seemingly calm man in front of her was, and knew that he was capable of anything.
She, her husband Robert Queen, Malcolm Merlyn, and many people in Starling City, they were a secret alliance.
Malcolm Merlyn was one of the leaders of the alliance. Not long ago, he and her husband fell out over a certain plan, and then... her husband's yacht had an accident.
Moira Queen suspected he did it, but she had no evidence and didn't dare to investigate openly. She was afraid that she and her daughter might also have an 'accident' one day.
Let's talk about two different things, each in its own branch.
Back at the bookstore, after Laurel Lance instantly became a martial arts master, Samuel also provided her with a uniform and weapons.
Also produced by void battle bead, made from a combination of Vibranium material and nanotechnology.
The uniform was a black multifunctional close-fitting combat suit, with hidden black wings on the back that could be used for Flight and defense.
And, the essential black eye mask for superheroes or villains.
The weapons were a pair of black police batons, also utilizing nanotechnology and Vibranium material.
As for Black Canary's signature ability, the Canary Cry, which is a sonic ability, there was no way to provide it for the time being.
Samuel didn't have serums that could grant specific superpowers at the moment, so he could only use technological equipment as in the original plot. As for where the technological equipment came from? Of course, it had to rely on the little genius of technological creation and invention, Cisco Ramon.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the Birds of Prey members he favored, namely the Black and White Canaries, Samuel wouldn't have chosen to come to Starling City.
Although Green Arrow is the big brother of this Multiverse, Starling City is like the neighboring Gotham City. Although criminals are constantly emerging, and they threaten to destroy the city every now and then, it really isn't as appealing as Central City!
The criminals in Central City at least play with various superpowers, and whether it's for cultivating the Speed Force or for Dr. Manhattan's abilities, Central City is the first choice.
"What... what should I do now?" Laurel Lance, wearing the uniform and holding the batons, asked Samuel curiously.
Samuel said with a smile, "Tell your Dad you're not coming home tonight."
Laurel Lance's face instantly turned red, even redder than when Samuel was measuring her for the combat suit just now!
"This, this isn't good, is it?"
Samuel raised an eyebrow: "You don't want to?"
Laurel Lance's eyes drifted slightly: "It, it's not that I don't want to, it's just, isn't it too fast? You went out to sea with Sara yesterday, and today you're telling me not to go home tonight, I, I'm afraid my Dad won't agree."
Samuel said seriously, "In a few months, you'll be leaving Starling City for college, right? It won't be so convenient to do things then, I think we need to seize the time."
"Okay, I, I'll go call him." Laurel Lance was convinced, she really didn't have much time left.
Samuel watched her turn and walk away, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.
The art of language is indeed profound and extensive; sometimes ambiguous words can yield unexpected results.
The reason Samuel asked her to stay tonight was for Malcolm Merlyn. He deliberately mentioned Malcolm Merlyn to Moira Queen because he wanted to snatch Green Arrow's Boss and let him be Laurel Lance's training partner.
On the surface, Malcolm Merlyn is the president of Merlyn Global Group, but secretly, he is a member of the League of Assassins and has earned the title of Magician.
However, this title is far less famous than Dark Archer and Black Arrow!
The explosion of the Queen father and son's yacht and their shipwreck were his doing. In other words, he killed Robert Queen and caused the birth of Green Arrow.
That's not all, he also gave Robert Queen a green hat; Thea Queen is his daughter, though he doesn't know it yet.
You could say that Robert Queen knowing Malcolm Merlyn was the worst luck he could have had.
That's not all, what's even more ruthless is that his son Tommy Merlyn perfectly inherited this trait.
In the original plot, Tommy and Oliver were good brothers. Good brothers, no need to be polite, right? After Oliver was presumed dead in the shipwreck, Tommy decided to take on the responsibility of a good brother and resolutely decided to take care of Oliver's girlfriend.
Then, while taking care of her, she became his own girlfriend.
Samuel felt that their father and son shouldn't be named Merlyn, they should be named Cao!
The sun set, day and night exchanged.
After dinner, the folding doors and windows of the bookstore slowly closed. Samuel and a somewhat nervous Laurel Lance came to the second floor.
The bookstore has three floors in total. The first floor is the business area, the second floor is the residential area, and the Underground Room is the warehouse, but it is currently empty and has nothing to store.
Samuel and Laurel Lance watched TV for a while and talked about the law School she was about to attend. Unconsciously, time passed like this.
Seeing that the clock on the wall was already pointing to eleven o'clock, Samuel still wasn't in a hurry and didn't give any hints. Laurel Lance hesitated and spoke.
"It's getting late, I, I'm a little sleepy."
"We haven't done the main thing yet." Samuel said with a smile.
Laurel Lance hesitated: "Then, then do it."
"Okay!"
Samuel's mouth curved up, and he pointed to the roof: "Just in time, the main character has arrived. Next, start your performance!"
Laurel Lance looked up at the roof in confusion. What are You saying? What main character? Aren't You the main character?
Wait!
Could he be talking about the opponent he arranged for me? So he asked me to stay not for that reason at all, but because he knew the opponent would only come at night?
Laurel Lance thought about her previous performance and the things she said. Oh my God, how embarrassing!
