Mason walked out of the Gate of the World.
But what caught his eye was not the luxurious top-floor office of the Iceberg Bar, but a dark warehouse. The teammates who came a few steps ahead of him were also stunned by this inexplicable place.
Soon, the sound of the warehouse door opening made everyone turn around.
A man dressed in luxurious suit, holding a cigar and a cane, walked confidently towards them. With a smile on his face, he opened his arms warmly to his companions.
Lady Elizabeth Swan, who came with him, was wearing a very simple white suit. Her hair was short like Catwoman's, and she even wore a tie. She wore crystal high heels, revealing a strong and icy temperament of a powerful woman.
She turned on the lights on the wall, and the whole warehouse suddenly lit up.
"Boss, isn't this place great?"
The Kite Man proudly pointed at the ground and said, "This is a container area in Miller Port. I bought the underground warehouse here and disguised it with many empty containers. According to your instructions, I added a layer of lead around it.
Now we don't have to worry about exposure anymore.
Oh, there are two more people? Why are they still chained?
Are they the new recruits this time?"
Mason didn't answer immediately, but looked around this small place transformed from a container.
It had to be said that the hiding place chosen by Kite Man was indeed good. He installed electric lights here, brought in several beds and chairs, and placed a refrigerator in the corner.
The walls were full of weapons and daily necessities, and there were two computers on the table connected to nearby hidden cameras.
When necessary, it could be a perfect hiding place for fugitives. Wait, could it be that Kite Man really "bought" this place from a group of fugitives?
"They are not new recruits."
Captain shrugged and threw the Gate of the World brought by the Tenno Team, indicating that the two barrels should also install it on the other side of the wall.
Then he pointed to the two captives still unconscious on the ground and said to Constantine behind him, "Take these two to Hogwarts and use Veritaserum to make them talk! I want to know if there are any other members of the Tenno Team still active, as well as the news of the exploration teams of the other two magic academies.
But don't kill them, I still have use for them."
"Can't you let me rest for a few days?"
Zha Kang complained while holding a magic book written in Japanese and a bag of special parchment. He was planning to get close to Lady Elizabeth for some comfort.
Although this lady was already in her thirties, she belonged to the type that became hotter as she got older, just like Selina.
Zha Kang was kicked out by Little Zha, and now he was in a state of spiritual emptiness. He urgently needed the comfort of this mature and beautiful big sister.
"Stop complaining, there are still important things to do later."
Mason took a deep breath and explained the new mission given to his team by Mr. Hunter in this hidden place.
He said, "I can't say this news in the Star Castle, I'm afraid it will stimulate Judy. The Tenno Team and the Hydra Team have grudges, maybe it's better to inform them after this matter is done."
"Yes, that's how you give gifts. There won't be any 'surprises' if you notify them in advance."
Zha Kang rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes, saying, "Are you sure there is only Mr. Sandstorm left in the Hydra Team? In his base world, there are at most some reserve members?"
"I'm sure, but this mission is much more difficult than our ambush on the Tenno Team."
Mason sighed and said, "The wizards of Tenno have only joined the Star Society for a little over a year, but the Hydra Team is an old exploration team and the direct subordinate team of the Battle Master. Even the reserve members should not be underestimated.
So this time, I decided to take everyone with me, and we need to come up with a detailed plan."
"Do Jack and I have to go too?"
Lady Elizabeth, who had been listening on the side, crossed her arms and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of fighting. I have fought legendary creatures at sea before. But compared to you superheroes and super villains, Jack and I are truly ordinary people.
I'm worried that we will drag you down."
"You're just worried about your son, Elizabeth. We can be more frank between us."
Mason sneered and said to this "single mother" who was adapting to her new life and seemed to be doing well, "Don't worry, I will arrange little Henry before we leave. If we can't come back, I will ensure that you and Will's child can live a lifetime in this world.
As for dragging us down...
A woman who has become the Pirate Emperor under the recognition of so many legendary pirates, I don't think you will drag us down during the operation. The K Team has always fought with their brains, and I hope you can inherit this fine tradition."
"I'm really flattered by your high regard. I'm surprised."
Lady Elizabeth snorted, but she did not refuse to participate in the operation.Mason casually took Selina's wrist and put his arm around Barbara's shoulder. The three ladies left first to enjoy the dinner that had been prepared in advance.
"This is a gift for you, Charles, as we agreed."
Mason took out a delicate little box from his luggage and handed it to Kite Man. Kite Man, with a cigar in his mouth, opened it and found a very sophisticated chip inside.
The young man introduced:
"This is a flight control chip of future technology obtained from our ally team. It has DNA encryption and decoding replacement functions. Replace the one you currently use in your flying backpack, and it will definitely make you enjoy soaring in the sky even more.
I have also obtained the blueprints for your exclusive weapon, and it will be ready in a few days."
"Haha, you really remembered."
Kite Man laughed and patted his own chest, then rolled up his sleeves and tied up Scarecrow, sending the two unconscious captives to the other side of the World Gate. He whispered to Scarecrow:
"Select a few more pirates from there and send them over. I found that although this group of bastards is not well-behaved, they are very active and enthusiastic when it comes to fighting.
In the past three days, there have been quite a few people causing trouble in the bar, but Jack and his pirates easily dealt with them.
They are also enjoying life here.
Some of them are even reluctant to leave. Jack is eager to make a career in the now empty Gotham underground world.
They are perfect servants."
"You can choose by yourself. Don't fucking boss me around. I'm already annoyed by a captain who always delegates tasks."
Scarecrow scolded:
"I don't even have time to study my beloved magic. I haven't been to the bar to pick up girls for half a month, and my girlfriend kicked me out, damn it!
I'm really pissed off now, so you better not mess with me."
"Alright, alright, I'll choose by myself. Are you satisfied now?"
Kite Man could only helplessly cross the World Gate himself. However, before leaving, he reminded Mason with a subtle expression:
"Um, boss, Jack has been pretending to be you for the past three days, and he's doing pretty well, even a bit too well. Uh, I can't say more, you can see for yourself when you go back."
"Huh?"
Mason, who was assisting Barrel in installing the World Gate, turned his head in surprise, but Kite Man and Scarecrow had already disappeared into the original World Gate of Team K.
Kite Man's "reminder" made Mason frowned.
He then looked at Barrel, who remained silent, and asked:
"Barbara is ready to go home, what about you, Jason? How about I prepare a room for you at the Iceberg Lounge? Actually, if you can tolerate the taste of the compound potion, you can completely change your identity and start anew in Gotham."
"No need."
Jason, holding an electric drill, firmly nailed the World Gate to the container wall. This black-haired young man did not look into Mason's eyes, but focused on his work.
After a few seconds of silence, he said:
"I'll go to the Caribbean. It's freer there and there aren't so many troubles. I can also practice marksmanship and fight with those pirates."
"But you know, one day you will have to face these things, right?"
Mason squeezed his captain card and lightly brushed it on the brass handle of the door, which had been washed of all world coordinates, imprinting the positioning of the Caribbean world.
He said softly:
"You will eventually face Bruce, the Bat Family, your past, present, and future brothers, and even Afuo. They don't talk about these things, but they are all waiting for you to go back.
Also, I have to remind you that the last time you tried to kill me but I found out in advance, it was Talia who was behind it.
Obviously, the woman who slept with you doesn't intend to let go.
You have to make a decision about these things."
"I know!"
Jason said impatiently, but then his voice became low. He held the door handle and twisted it down. With the precise mechanical clicking sound, he said:
"Give me some more time. After all, I have experienced resurrection."
"Who hasn't?"
Mason rolled his eyes and patted Jason's shoulder, handing him a small bag of potion, saying:
"This is your personal matter. I'm just fulfilling the duty of an excellent captain. Remember to drink one bottle every morning. The residual water from the Lazarus Pit in your body is dissipating, but it's not so easy to completely eliminate it.
I put a few bottles of incense used by wizards during meditation in it. Try to control your temper. It won't do you any harm.
When you come back in a week, don't forget to bring back the weapon I ordered from the Dutchman."
The young man reminded:
"The sandstorm we are going to eliminate has spread destructive viruses in many worlds. He has participated in many apocalypses. I think killing such a person won't burden your conscience, right?""Tsk, I can handle it alone! You guys are just a burden."
Er Tong, with a very arrogant expression, turned his head back to Mason as he walked through the door to the world and said:
"Remember the new weapon you promised me, I'm waiting. Also, be careful of Batman. Once he starts suspecting someone, he won't stop until he exposes their true identity."
His black and white eyes stared at the young man in front of him, who had a somewhat similar appearance to him, and solemnly reminded:
"You have too many secrets on you, like a moving heat source attracting his attention. He has a kind of instinctive sensitivity to these things.
Don't wander around in front of him."
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll be careful."
Mason smiled and watched his team members leave, then closed the door to the world and changed back into his gray coat and shirt, putting on his graduation cap before leaving the dock area.
The graduation cap was in a very good mood.
On the way back to the city on his beloved flying motorcycle, Mason even heard the graduation cap singing in his mind. It wasn't unpleasant, but it felt like there was a speaker installed in his brain.
His ears were spared.
But his brain was buzzing.
"Did you leave those two traitors behind to dig a pit for the remaining traitors, Mason?"
As they approached Cooper's shop near Crime Alley, the graduation cap listened to the song and asked. The young man nodded and said:
"That's what I thought, but I don't think the remaining wizards will fall for it. The destruction of the Tentei Squad will serve as a warning to them. If we really want to do it, we have to eliminate them all at once before this matter is exposed!

In that case, I have to make a big plan in advance and choose a perfect 'graveyard' for them.
By the way, I now have Griffin's sword and Pachi's golden cup. You still have the relics of the two great wizards, why not give them to me together?"
"That's not a bad idea."
The graduation cap, in a good mood, spoke without the gloomy atmosphere it had before. It said:
"You have fully proven that you are indeed the 'Hogwarts Beast' we need! Your ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness will bring our revenge to a perfect end.
But I must first hear your next plan.
The destruction of the Tentei Squad is a wonderful start, and I don't want it to be the end of this 'revenge symphony'."
"I don't understand why you're still hesitating?"
Mason and the graduation cap bargained:
"I have blood on my hands and can only go to the end with you. We are on the same side now, right? Strange, when did my rundown shop become so lively?"
As he hovered in the air and approached his shop, Mason even heard the strange sound of a DJ mixing music. His face changed.
As if suddenly realizing the meaning of the hesitant reminder from Kite Man when he left, that damn Jack Sparr! What is he up to?
Wait!
Jack!
Jack Sparrow!
The famous rogue of the sea, the best at seducing women and causing trouble, he actually entrusted such an important task of impersonating himself to such a person?
"Hehehe, little Mason, I sense trouble for you."
The graduation cap also sensed Mason's change in mood, and the voice of the old man-like figure burst into an undisguised laughter.
Mason took off the car key and was about to rush in, but as soon as he approached, he saw Poison Ivy, with messy hair, stumbling out as if she wanted to get some fresh air outside.
And then, Ivy and Mason locked eyes in an instant.
"Uh?"
Ivy rubbed her eyes.
This red-haired, green-skinned, and well-proportioned villainess looked at the expressionless Mason in front of her, then turned her head to look at the chaos behind her.
After a few seconds, she hiccuped and said:
"It seems like I've had too much to drink. Why are there two Masons? Hmm, or maybe I haven't had enough to drink? The Mason inside is much more interesting and open than the one outside."
"Damn it."
The young man couldn't help but slap himself in the face when he heard Poison Ivy's murmuring.
He approached and took out a bottle of stimulant and poured it into the intoxicated Poison Ivy. Because she had the ability to manipulate plants, she was almost immune to poisons.
Ordinary alcohol couldn't make her feel drunk.
But now, even she was like this, it could be imagined how chaotic it was inside.
"Hey, wake up!"
Mason supported Poison Ivy and sat her down on the side of the road, waiting for more than ten seconds. He then patted Ivy's unique green-scaled cheek and asked:
"Jack. What I mean is, what have I been doing for the past three days?""Wait, I have a headache. That damn drink must have had something strong in it."
Avril groaned as she rubbed her forehead. After a few seconds, she finally reacted and stared in shock at the real Mason in front of her. She then said with a terrified expression:
"That person inside is not you? The one who has been encouraging Harley to let go of the past and embrace a new life is not you?
Damn it!
I thought it was some kind of treatment method of yours! He took Harley out, gave her a new look, and even bought her new clothes. Tonight is a celebration of Harley's 'first birthday'.
Oh my god, my best friend is done for."
"Click."
Mason pulled out the explosive hand cannon from his waist and said with a murderous intent:
"Don't be afraid! Jack Sparrow's life is also ruined, I guarantee it!"
