The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

With the king cobra's permission, the five leaders waited until the king cobra was seated before taking their respective positions, leaving only the rock python's seat vacant.

It must be said that these seats are very abstract, seemingly pieced together from various materials, giving them an abstract artistic beauty. One wonders if they are comfortable to sit on.

However, Yang Le guessed that the king cobra probably didn't have this problem, because his seat had a cushion, and judging from the degree of depression when he sat down, the cushion was probably not cheap.

“First, let us begin with the first topic on today’s agenda.” The king cobra, even when seated, didn't let go of his staff, seemingly treasuring it greatly.

“Some time ago, I found the thieves who stole the Serpent Gang's supplies and captured them. As expected, the leader of the thieves was a superhuman, and his ability was mental control.”

The leaders understood. No wonder they dared to steal from the Serpent Gang; it turned out they had something to rely on. Mental control abilities are indeed powerful, and such unpredictable abilities are the most troublesome.

“But these petty tricks are useless against the Serpent Gang.” The king cobra struck the ground with his staff, once again emitting a sound like a booming bell. This time, Yang Le was prepared and didn't lose his mind, but he still felt dizzy.

“That dirty bug thought he could rely on his ability to swagger in here as if it were a shopping mall, but he was captured in one encounter. I must say, he has some talent for comedy.”

The king cobra revealed a hint of a smile, and the leaders under him also laughed along. The scene before Yang Le made him think he had arrived at a gathering hall in some mountain stronghold.

“With a leader possessing supreme divine power leading us, these insignificant characters naturally can't stand on the stage.” Rattlesnake hissed. “But being able to bring a smile to the leader is already a great blessing for him.”

Rattlesnake's words caused pit viper and puff adder to glance sideways frequently. It must be said that the Serpent Gang's leaders are unparalleled in flattery, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them the number one flatterers.

The king cobra was quite pleased with Rattlesnake's flattery, raised his hand and gestured in the latter's direction. Rattlesnake quickly stood up and saluted, looking every bit like a good lackey.

Waving his hand to signal Rattlesnake to sit down, the king cobra continued: “I've forgotten what that guy's name is, but seeing that he's all purple, let's just call him Purple Man.”

“After Purple Man was captured, he chose to surrender immediately. I didn't intend to kill him, after all, his ability is still very effective against ordinary people. He can make those slaves very obedient, but he revealed something even more interesting when begging for mercy.”

The leaders knew that the main topic was coming, and they all straightened up and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details.

“He said that there are two other superhumans in his shelter, and their abilities are very interesting. One can steal other people's energy, and the other can condense glowing weapons.”

“After revealing his companions' secrets, this guy took the initiative to help me capture them. He is truly a complete villain, but I like it very much.”

Hearing this, Rattlesnake was about to congratulate the king cobra on subduing two more superhumans, taking him one step closer to world domination, but found that the latter's face suddenly became very ugly and immediately shut his mouth.

“I sent Rock Python, who had just become a leader, to carry out this mission. I was expecting him to bring me good news, but he failed to live up to my expectations. He failed.”

As soon as these words came out, the leaders were all surprised. They all knew Rock Python's strength. Although he was the weakest of the leaders, he possessed bronze skin and iron bones and the power bestowed by the leader. It stood to reason that ordinary superhumans could never defeat him.

The king cobra struck the ground again, and at the same time, the eyes of the seven snake heads on his right-hand staff lit up, the different colored eyes shining simultaneously, looking exceptionally妖艳.

“Leave it to me, leader.” Water Cobra was the first to stand up. “I will definitely complete this mission, please believe in my ability.”

“Sit down, Water Cobra.” The king cobra ordered. “I know you are loyal, but if I send out my general just for two unknown small characters, how can the Serpent Gang stand its ground?”

‘It's as if you guys are very famous.’ Yang Le couldn't help but slander. ‘Clearly, you are just a bunch of unknown small characters. It's like when the tiger is away, the monkeys become king. You're even proud of it.’

“Then let me go, leader.” Puff Adder stood up. “I won't be like that mediocre talent, damaging your reputation.”

Yang Le: ‘So where did his reputation come from?’

“Hmm.” The king cobra nodded, seemingly agreeing with Puff Adder's suggestion, but then he added.

“Just two superhumans, even if Rock Python is mediocre, he shouldn't have failed to escape. They are likely to have reinforcements.”

This sentence is a bit interesting. The king cobra didn't even consider the possibility that Purple Man lied and framed Rock Python. It seems that this Serpent Gang leader is not a self-inflated fool, or he has some lie-detecting ability.

Having gathered another useful piece of information, Yang Le felt exceptionally satisfied with this trip. Information is the most important thing in a war. Didn't even the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, have to transform into a bug to gather information before fighting?

Steady, what does steady mean?

“Rattlesnake, your ability is support, so you and Puff Adder should go on this trip.”

Rattlesnake naturally dared not disobey the king cobra's order, and even if Puff Adder and Rattlesnake didn't get along, he had to obey the order from the leader.

“Yes!”

“As you command.”

The two bowed slightly, considering it as accepting the order. The king cobra let the two sit down again and began a new round of speeches.

“Next is the second topic. Since Rock Python has failed, then he is not worthy of occupying a leader's position. Next, a newcomer will take his place. Come in.”

As soon as the king cobra finished speaking, a person walked in from the door between the thrones. The leaders turned their heads to look and found that the person was a beautiful woman.

The woman had waist-length black hair, a curvy figure, and tanned skin that made her look very sexy. Two snake-shaped armbands were wrapped around her arms, adding a touch of mysterious beauty.

“This is the new leader I have chosen to inherit Rock Python's position, Black Mamba!”

Everyone can guess who is behind the scenes in the Serpent Gang. I guess those who read comics may have guessed it, after all, the hint is obvious.
