Chapter 16 The Furious Blacksmith
"I hope you can bring me some good news."

Seeing Axel's appearance, the blacksmith showed an expectant expression.

"Of course, I brought the information back."

Axel smiled confidently. He opened his waist bag and reached in to take out the documents.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Axel's movements of picking out things became faster and more intense, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

He turned the waist bag over, shook it desperately, and poured out all the contents.

It is full of deadly weapons with the appearance of magic props, such as exploding rubber chickens, candy hard shells, swelling gum, tickling powder, T bombs...

Only there is no such "network" material.

I rubbed my eyes, still nothing.

The blacksmith's face suddenly turned cold, and Axel broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's impossible, I got it, and it's inside!"

Axel is very sure that he put the materials in the bag. Now the zipper is good, the bag is not broken, and he has not been blocked along the way. How could it be missing?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out that there was an alien who could transform into invisible and stole the information from him.

"I need an explanation."

The blacksmith said in an indifferent tone, and Axel felt a chill that made his hair stand on end.

He recounted his actions word by word, including how he recruited Yuri and others, how he calculated the gang of four as a cover, and how he got rid of the FBI guards and escaped after getting the information.

After finishing speaking, Axel secretly glanced at the blacksmith, who stared at him expressionlessly.

"Are you sure you didn't get caught on the way here?"

Suddenly, the blacksmith asked abruptly.

Axel replied immediately: "I am sure, I can guarantee this."

"Oh," the blacksmith sneered, "how did the information disappear?"

"This... I don't know, but..." Axel said boldly: "I don't think that information can really threaten the Internet, they don't know where we are, they don't know that it's hidden underground, Know how many people there are in the network, and the few peripheral members they know can't reveal much information..."

boom!
Hearing a loud noise, the blacksmith suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Axel. The desk in front of him was smashed like tofu.

Under Axel's horrified gaze, the blacksmith's skin from head to toe turned into blue metal, and then he grabbed his neck with one hand.

"I don't want to hear 'I don't know'!"

The blacksmith pinched Axel with one hand and lifted the latter high.

The suffocation made Axel struggle wildly.

"Do you know how important that document is to us?"

The blacksmith furiously said, "The next step of the network's plan is of great importance, and there must be no risk of leakage."

"They haven't paid attention to the really important parts of those materials, but sooner or later they will piece together a complete clue, and then we will all be finished!"

"Perhaps you think that if the Flash is not in Central City, we can be unscrupulous, but don't forget that there is a damn satellite in the sky monitoring the entire earth! If our plan leaks out, the Justice League will definitely be dispatched, so we must be careful act!"

Axel pleaded with difficulty: "I... I understand my mistake, but I can guarantee that at least that document will not be in the hands of the FBI. Your plan... still has time."

"Please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."

The blacksmith looked at him coldly for a while, and finally let go of his hand. Axel collapsed on the ground clutching his neck, retching non-stop.

"I'll give you another chance, remember, I won't tolerate your second failure!"

Axel breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a life-and-death situation just now.

"I will retrieve the information as soon as possible."

"No need." The blacksmith shook his head, "If the information is in James's hands, it must be hidden somewhere we can't find it. If it is obtained by others, then this person will come to us on his own initiative .”

Axel didn't quite understand what the blacksmith meant, but he didn't dare to ask questions, and waited quietly for the blacksmith's next words.

"The Keystone City Police Department has an external profiler named Hunter Zollermon. He thought he could fool me, but I already knew that he was in contact with my ex-husband. Your task is to eliminate Henry. All the files on Te Zollermon's personal computer."

The blacksmith threw a palm-sized disc at Axel, "Paste this on the computer, and it will automatically clear the data."

"Axel, don't let me down!"

Meanwhile, Yuri's house.

Yuri sat on the chair of the old broken car and checked his spoils.

The little broken watch is still analyzing the mysterious energy captured from the lightning boy, and it is estimated that there are still seventeen hours left.

Until then, Yuri cannot use the small broken watch for the time being.

Look at another loot.

Internet research data.

Yuri put the information on the table and spread it out, browsing through it bit by bit.

"Wow, this network has some tricks."

The content of the materials is not too much, there are only a dozen pages in total, but the amount of information on each page is amazing.

The network's headquarters are so secretive that the location of the network has not been determined until now.

All the known supervillains in Central City have more or less cooperated with the Internet, so they should be able to pry out a lot of information.

However, the fact is that every super villain who has been captured remembers that he has been to the Internet, but he has forgotten where the Internet is and what he has done in the Internet.

They were not mentally ill, had not been hit on the head, and had no visible injuries on their bodies.

Even the warden of Iron Mountain Prison, which has always been known for its ruthlessness and cruelty, failed to extract information from the Internet through torture.

The Internet has monopolized the black markets in Central City and Keystone City, and has close trade relations with the black markets in various states. It can be said that there is no commodity that cannot be bought on the Internet.

According to the fbi's estimates, the annual transaction volume of the black market can reach 20.00 million US dollars, and the network can extract 5000% of it, which means that the network's annual profit is [-] million...

It didn't take long for Yuri to read all the materials.

In addition to describing the business of the Internet, it also pointed out that a small number of super criminals have mysteriously disappeared after committing consecutive cases, or have not been caught so far, and are suspected to have a deeper connection with the Internet than others.

The last page is dedicated to introducing the boss of the network, and the information on this page is also provided by an anonymous informant.

The leader of the network calls himself a blacksmith, and his real name is Amunet Black. He is the ex-wife of the former super criminal Gold Mask and the current head of the Keystone Kenyon Union, Keith Kenyon. He started to form it 15 years ago network……
