Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

"Cisco, I graduated from Central City University. According to Central City tradition, if Wells dies, his students have the right to inherit his scientific research legacy. That means only Flash Water is qualified to obtain the core components of that particle accelerator."

Barry Allen stood in front of the laptop and began searching for the location of Hogg Motors headquarters.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but how are we going to convince him?"

"Tell him the truth."

"What if he's really not a good person?"

"It doesn't matter, my good friend is also a superhero with superpowers, isn't he?"

Barry Allen looked at the address he found and smiled slightly.

"Okay, we should book a bullet train ticket to Gotham. To be honest, I haven't been in the habit of taking trains for a long time."

… …

… …

Hogg Motors, Clearwater's private engineering laboratory.

Black Gold II has been completed. Overall, it is roughly a replica of Big Ivan in this world, with the same rating reaching A-.

The progress bar of luck is also rising rapidly.

Hogg United is now one of the two largest gangs in Gotham. The territory, number of people, and assets have all been greatly improved. The luck progress bar has soared from the previous 4.01% to 48.6%.

When these territories are digested, it is estimated that it can rise a few percentage points further.

"BOSS, there are two young men outside who want to see you, saying they have a big business deal they want to discuss with you."

The accountant took the phone and came to the door of Clearwater's laboratory from the adjacent office.

Clearwater wiped the machine oil from his face, frowned, and said without turning his head:

"Didn't I say that any business should be handled by you, and I'll just make the final decision."

"But… they specifically said that this business must be discussed with you personally, and they also said it was related to your former teacher."

The accountant replied to Clearwater.

Clearwater asked again:

"What are their names?"

"Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon."

Clearwater paused in his lubrication work.

Why did the Flash come to him?

"Take them to the office."

Clearwater withdrew his gaze from Black Gold II in front of him, changed his clothes, wiped his face, and went to the office to wait.

"Barry."

"Hmm?"

"Why do I feel like the people here are a bit…"

Cisco winked at Barry Allen.

Barry looked at the mechanics here and nodded silently.

Each one is a strong man, many with fierce faces, faintly revealing a murderous aura.

"I wasn't really right, was I?"

Accustomed to the peaceful and gentle days of Central City, Cisco was obviously not used to the dark style of Gotham.

Barry suddenly fell behind a step and hid behind Cisco.

"I don't have superpowers now. If it's really a gang, I'm counting on you."

"Don't worry, it's just a small Gotham gang."

Cisco swallowed and puffed out his chest, summoning his courage.

"Ahem, Mr. Water."

Cisco put on a pretentious air of a successful person and shook hands with Clearwater.

"Hello, Mr. Ramon, Mr. Allen, you weren't scared on the way here, were you? It's normal for our auto repair workers to be strong, and we've also taken in many unemployed veterans. Some of them have war-related syndromes, so they may look more fierce."

Recruiting retired officers to strengthen the gang's strength, Clearwater changed his tune, making him sound like an entrepreneur with a bit of social responsibility.

"I thank you for those retired soldiers, Mr. Water."

Cisco was awestruck.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two began to talk about serious business.

"I wonder, what is the big business that the two of you are talking about?"

Clearwater sat in the boss's chair and said to the two people in front of the table.

"Mr. Water, believe me, this is a big business you have never encountered and will not refuse."

Barry Allen said with a serious expression.

Clearwater gestured for the two to continue.

"I wonder, Mr. Water, have you heard of the Flash and Vibe?!"

Cisco smoothed his half-length hair and put on what he thought was a handsome expression.

There is no mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one is in, one see!

"Um… the Flash… I've heard of him. The Central City Gazette has a large circulation all over the world. I have it here too. It often reports on the Flash."

In fact, Clearwater subscribed to many newspapers, including the Metropolis Planet Daily, Coast City Daily, and Star City Pioneer, in order to learn more about these superheroes.

"Oh, is that so! I don't mind telling you, my girlfriend works there as a reporter."

When talking about his girlfriend, Barry Allen's face was filled with a sunny smile.

"Ahem."

Cisco coughed twice.

"What about Vibe?"

His expression was expectant.

"Sorry, I've never heard of this superhero."

Expectation instantly turned into depression.

"Okay, what does this have to do with the business you want to talk to me about?"

Clearwater changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

"Actually, I'm the Flash, and he's Vibe."

Barry Allen pointed to himself with one hand and to Cisco with the other.

"Um… I'm very sorry, but I really haven't heard of Vibe."

Clearwater said to Cisco with an apologetic expression.

Cisco: … …

Could you please stop rubbing salt in his wounds?!

"So you believed it? Do you need us to demonstrate? For example, I can shatter this ceramic cup into pieces from a distance."

Cisco stretched out his palm and aimed it at the ceramic cup, emitting a visible vibration energy wave.

The cup was instantly covered with cracks and then exploded.

However, the fragments were contained by the vibration energy wave emitted by Cisco's other hand.

"This cup was a Chinese antique from the Chinatown flea market…"

"I'm very sorry!"

Cisco bowed decisively in apology.

"It's okay, it's just a little money. How about Mr. Flash bring me some honey-glazed grilled fish from Coast City, and you can buy this cup with that grilled fish?"

Clearwater smiled slightly.

Barry and Cisco looked at each other.

"This is where I have to mention the reason why I came to see Mr. Water."

Barry said sincerely, explaining the course of events.

In order to save his companion, all of his Speed Force was plundered by a villain named Zoom. He lost his super speed and therefore hoped to re-manufacture the particle accelerator and detonate dark matter to regain his speed.
