Chapter 304: Keep your word, chaos in Central City

After knowing what Reverse Flash is doing now, Roy doesn't need to waste extra energy looking for him.

According to the cooperation agreement between Reverse Flash and Captain Cold, Reverse Flash will take the initiative to show up after the speed belt is completed.

All Roy has to do is wait patiently for the reverse flash to appear.

Although he hasn't figured out how to capture Reverse Flash yet, he isn't particularly worried about it.

His speed is indeed not as fast as the Reverse Flash, but that doesn't mean he can't catch the Reverse Flash.

After leaving the presidential suite where Roy lived, Captain Cold did not leave the hotel immediately, but came to the hotel's internal bar.

He needs to think calmly now.

Although you are not a guest of the hotel, the hotel's internal bar is not just for guests staying in the hotel.

After arriving at the bar, Captain Cold went straight to the bar and ordered a bottle of whiskey from the bartender.

Later, while drinking the whiskey in front of him, he thought about the next arrangements.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to regain the situation from Roy.

Roy's strength was much stronger than he expected.

To be precise, he can't clearly see Roy's true strength now.

The only thing he can be sure of is that Roy's strength far exceeds his own.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Reverse Flash cursed inwardly.

Damn it!

If I had known this guy was so troublesome, I shouldn't have come to find him in such a hurry.

Although coming here later may not necessarily defeat Roy, but at least he won't be as passive as he is now.

To make matters worse, Roy now knows about his collaboration with Reverse-Flash.

According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for Roy to know about this.

But the problem is, Roy not only knew it, but he also said it outright and gave him a "choice".

Captain Cold and Reverse-Flash really don't have any personal relationship.

But compared to Reverse Flash, he is now more afraid of Roy.

In other words, he now has no idea what kind of person Roy is.

Although he had some regrets, Captain Cold knew that he could only bite the bullet and cooperate with Roy now.

Presidential Suite.

Not long after Captain Cold left, Harley walked out of the bedroom wearing sexy silk pajamas and went straight to Roy.

She went directly to Roy and lay down next to him, like a lazy little cat. She rested her head on Roy's lap and said softly:

"Sent away the uninvited guest?"

"Uh-huh!"

Roy nodded and replied.

"Is he seeking revenge for yesterday's bar conflict?"

Harley continued to ask.

Although she didn't see Captain Cold, she had already guessed that the uninvited guest Roy was talking about was Captain Cold.

After arriving in Central City, apart from the hotel and outside service staff, they only came into contact with two groups of people.

Cisco and Caitlin had just met not long ago, so they would definitely not suddenly come to the hotel to find them.

After excluding Cisco and Caitlin, only the Rogue Gang remained.

Among the gangsters, the only person who would come uninvited at this time is Captain Leng, who is the leader of the gang.

Compared with before, Harley has indeed become a lot crazier now, but her IQ is still there.

"At the beginning, he came to me for revenge."

"But now, he should be regarded as my partner."

While stroking Harley's hair, Roy briefly talked about his cooperation with Captain Cold.

Although his cooperation with Captain Cold involves Reverse Flash, he has no intention of hiding it from Harley.

In other words, there is nothing to hide.

After listening to his story, Harley continued to ask:

"Is that speed belt really as magical as Reverse-Flash says?"

"If nothing else, yes."

"But what kind of belt he can make in the end, I can't say yet."

Roy replied quickly.

He has great confidence in Reverse Flash's scientific research level, but he doesn't have much confidence in Reverse Flash's character.

If Reverse-Flash fulfills his agreement seriously, he can indeed make a speed belt that temporarily gives other people the power of speed.

But whether he would do so honestly or not, Roy couldn't tell.

On the surface, there is indeed no need for Reverse Flash to fool Captain Cold.

After all, their goals are the same.

But who knows if Reverse Flash is planning other things secretly.

If supervillains always kept their word, that would be too unvillainlike.

"I hope he makes a speed belt."

Harley said with a serious face.

"Why?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"Because I also want to experience the feeling of having super speed!"

Forehead……

I have to say that Harley's idea is quite normal and not crazy at all.

"Then it depends on whether Reverse Flash really means what he says."

Roy said with a smile.

…

Time flies.

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

During this week, Roy and Harley, like ordinary tourists, experienced the customs and customs of Central City.

Except for going to the Star Laboratory every other day to see if there is any sign of the Flash's return, Roy enjoys his life as a tourist in a low-key manner.

Other than that, whether it was Reverse Flash or Captain Cold, he had not taken the initiative to inquire or find out their thoughts this week.

Although the only people who currently know about The Flash traveling to other universes are himself, Cisco and others.

However, the mysterious disappearance of The Flash still caused some speculation among the outside world.

If we talk about the ordinary citizens of Central City, they are just guessing where the Flash has gone and why he is not fighting crime as before.

Well, for the gangsters and gangsters in Central City, this week is like celebrating Christmas.

Although the Central City Police Department works hard to prevent criminal activities in the city.

But now that the Flash is gone, the Central City Police Department has quickly experienced what it means to be understaffed.

Normally, a city's police station will definitely have enough police officers to maintain local law and order.

But there is something special here in Central City.

The Flash's hard work has indeed reduced the crime rate in Central City to a great extent.

At the same time, another problem inevitably arises.

That makes the Central City Police Department seem particularly incompetent and overstaffed.

As a result, the Central City city government naturally received a proposal to reduce the budget of the Central City Police Department.

Because Beautiful Country is a very "democratic" country.

Therefore, this proposal to reduce the budget of the Central City Police Department was passed without any suspense.

Although many people know that the Flash cannot always protect Central City.

But those congressmen won't care so much.

Of course they also know that the Central City Police Department is over-staffed because The Flash helps fight criminals.

Once the Flash leaves or stops fighting criminals, the reduced Central City Police Department will immediately face the problem of insufficient manpower.

Although there are hidden dangers in this regard, most members of the parliament passed the proposal.

The reason is simple. No one knows whether The Flash will stop fighting criminals in the future.

But one thing is certain.

That is, once the proposal is passed, the budget cuts from the Central City Police Department will be real.

Even if you only cut off one month, that's a lot of money.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the expenditures on police stations in well-known metropolitan cities in the beautiful country.

Take New York, a beautiful country, for example.

Roy clearly remembered the world before he traveled, that is, the real world without superheroes and super villains.

The annual budget of the New York Police Department reaches billions or even tens of billions of dollars a year.

This amount is already much larger than the annual military budget of many countries.

And this is just the annual budget of the New York Police Department in a world without superheroes and supervillains.

In this world of super villains and superheroes, it’s not surprising that the NYPD’s annual budget could double or triple.

The Central City Police Department's annual budget may not be as high as that of the New York Police Department, but it won't be much lower.

After all, in this world, Central City is a beautiful and well-known city in the country, second only to Metropolis, Gotham, New York and other big cities.

As far as Roy knows, the Central City Police Department's annual budget has been cut many years ago.

The more active the Flash becomes, the more criminals he fights, and the more the Central City Police Department's budget is cut.

So this also brings up another problem, that is, the police in Central City don't actually like the Flash very much.

No one likes a guy who is causing his salary to go down!

Even if this person is a superhero!

In this regard, Batman Bruce does much better than The Flash.

The existence of Batman has not only not caused the budget of the Gotham Police Department to be reduced, but has actually been increasing year by year.

Let's go back to the Central City Police Department.

Because the Flash "inexplicably" disappeared, the Central City Police Department was having an unusually busy week.

Many gangsters and criminals who were previously afraid of The Flash took advantage of this opportunity to flex their muscles.

In addition to taking the opportunity to "zero dollar shopping" and rob banks and jewelry stores, many gangs also chose to expand their territory at this time.

As a result, the central city became very lively at night.

If this trend continues, Central City will develop into another Gotham in a few months.

Although Roy is in Central City now, he has no intention of stopping these criminals.

He never considered himself a superhero, nor did he feel that he had an obligation to protect other citizens.

When he's in a good mood or seems bored, he doesn't mind fighting crime.

But now, he has no such idea at all.

As long as these gangs and criminals don't affect his play, he doesn't bother to deal with these guys.

Central City East District.

In a small barbecue restaurant with a small area and not very luxurious decoration, but with a good reputation, Roy and Harry chatted casually while enjoying today's lunch.

In the past week, Roy accompanied Harry to visit various attractions in Central City.

Even among the bars in Central City that cater specifically to gangsters, they went to seven or eight.

If he hadn't met the Flash and Reverse-Flash and found a way to get the Speed ​​Force, Roy would have thought of leaving Central City and heading to the next city.

Just as he and Hallie were chatting about where they were going in the afternoon, his cell phone suddenly rang.

After seeing the caller ID displayed on the screen, he immediately pressed the connect button.

The next second, Captain Leng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Reverse Flash contacted me and said he would deliver the speed belt tonight."

"He will inform me of the specific location in the evening."

Captain Cold said quickly.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Roy hung up the phone.

After waiting for a week, I finally got news from Reverse Flash.

If Reverse Flash hadn't appeared yet, he would have thought of using his power of knowledge to search for Reverse Flash throughout the city.

Although the Reverse Flash may not be hidden within the city, and the Speed ​​Force may not be sensed by Sensoku Haki, there is no harm in giving it a try.

"Is this from Captain Cold?"

Harley asked Roy.

"Well, Reverse Flash made an appointment with him to trade the speed belt tonight. The specific location is still unclear."

Roy replied.

"Oh, can I come with you tonight?"

Harley continued to ask.

"Next time."

Roy looked at Harry with an apologetic look.

If the person to be arrested tonight is not Reverse-Flash, but Captain Cold and others, Roy wouldn't mind taking Harley with him.

But if you want to capture Reverse-Flash, it's better not to take Harley there.

Roy didn't want to take the initiative to send a hostage to Reverse Flash.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the hotel."

Although Halle may have a temper from time to time, she is not the kind of willful and unreasonable person.

Now that Roy has made it clear, she won't stalk him.

"Uh-huh!"

Roy nodded.

After having lunch at this well-regarded barbecue restaurant, Roy took Harry back to the hotel.

night.

After accompanying Harley to dinner in the hotel restaurant, Roy left the hotel alone.

He did not drive away, but directly used Flash to leave the presidential suite where he was staying.

In just an instant, he came from the presidential suite to the bar where he first saw Heat Wave and the Golden Glider.

He did not flash directly into the bar, but flashed into a nearby alley.

Then, he walked into the bar like an ordinary customer.

As soon as he entered the bar, he saw the three Captain Cold.

He did not go over to say hello to Captain Cold and the others, but went straight to the bar and asked the bartender for a bottle of whiskey.

Time passes little by little.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Just when Roy was wondering if Reverse Flash was planning to take advantage of Captain Cold, he received a text message from Captain Cold.

What Captain Cold sent was the meeting address that Reverse Flash sent him.

After taking a look at the address above, Roy did not leave the hotel immediately.

After Captain Leng and the three others left the bar and headed to the meeting place, he calmly paid and left the bar.

Although he left the hotel relatively late, he arrived at the building near the meeting place earlier than Captain Leng and others.

For Captain Cold and others, it takes more than twenty minutes to drive from the bar.

But for Roy, it was just a thought.

After arriving on the roof of the building near the meeting place, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately used his knowledge and knowledge to sense the breath of life nearby.

He directly ignored the normal breath of life and focused on sensing the breath of superhuman life.
