Chapter 209

Su Quan wanted the Flashpoint to happen as scheduled so he could find Doctor Manhattan.

If it were revealed that he had the ability or the suit, he would be unable to stand idly by when Barry Allen was in danger. In doing so, Barry Allen would lose the motivation to run faster.

What a pity, that Toxin Man was asking for trouble!

Just as Su Quan was about to put the triangular Nanotech suit reactor on his chest, the system's reward notification suddenly sounded.

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Gasification (Toxin Man)"

"Bite!"

"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Machine Bee (Bri Lawan)"

Su Quan was a beat slow, turning his head to look at the Toxin Man being gassed.

The Toxin Man's transformation paused slightly as a small bee fell from his leg. Then, Toxin Man completely transformed into a cloud of green gas.

Just as the Toxin Man was about to attack Judge Howard, the elevator's ventilation system suddenly activated, violently sucking the gas- Toxin Man into the ventilation duct with an absolutely abnormal power.

"Bite!"

The elevator doors opened automatically.

The turn of events happened so fast that Judge Howard, who thought he was going to die, stood frozen in the corner, unable to react for a moment.

Su Quan glanced at the bees on the ground, retracted the Nanotech suit reactor into the system, took out his phone and sent a signal to the STAR Labs, then picked up the bag on the ground, shouted "Run!" to Judge Howard, and then leisurely walked out of the elevator.

The small ventilation system was no match for the Toxin Man. Before long, the Toxin Man would return and continue to hunt Judge Howard. Whether she could survive depended on how fast Barry Allen could move.

About ten seconds later, the Toxin Man, whose revenge had been thwarted, reappeared. Enraged, he directly attacked Judge Howard in the form of poison gas in front of everyone.

"Call out--"

Golden Flash flashed, and the Flash arrived.

Without even asking what happened, he had already seen Judge Howard being chased by a cloud of poison gas. Although he didn't know the specific reason yet, saving him was definitely the right thing to do!

Barry Allen glanced at Su Quan, and seeing that he was alright, he scooped up Judge Howard in his arms and ran out of the mall in an instant.

The Toxin Man pursued relentlessly, but in a pure speed contest, even if he could fly in gas form, he couldn't outrun the Flash, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up unwillingly.

Su Quan turned and walked into the crowd, leaving the mall.

Void Medical, CEO's Office.

Su Quan, carrying several bags, placed them on Felicity's desk with a smile. Felicity, surprised, pushed up her glasses and asked Su Quan, "Are these for me?"

Su Quan smiled and nodded, "I don't know if you'll like it."

Felicity shook her head. "I'll like anything you give me! I, I mean, no girl dislikes receiving gifts."

Su Quan sat down at his desk. "By the way, do you still remember Brie Lawan?"

"Brilawan?" Felicity nodded readily. "Of course I remember her. She's my formidable rival and my biggest competitor."

"She applied for the job when you started the company. She made a great contribution in the early days of the company. But when you made me the CEO, she resigned and left the company in a fit of anger."

"I remember she later joined Mercury Labs, and—"

Felicity looked at Su Quan with a hint of resentment and jealousy. "You two had a relationship back then. When it came time to choose the CEO, you chose me instead of her, and she thought I had seduced you."

"Back then, we weren't even together yet..."

Felicity spoke the last sentence very softly.

Su Quan shrugged apologetically. After arriving in the Arrowverse, he had indeed let himself go a bit. For the past five years, well, he had basically just been eating, drinking, and having fun.

But he can explain!

Whether it's the timeline alteration caused by the Flashpoint or the merging universe of the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, the best way to prevent these non-protagonist characters from being erased, having their current life trajectories altered, or having their fates changed is to utilize one's ability to Negate Time.

If the past is kept constant, it will naturally not be affected by timelines or the restarting of the universe.

Su Quan cannot and will not give them the ability to Negate Time, but he can deepen their connection and bond with him, thereby achieving the same effect.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

"She saved me today." Su Quan thought for a moment and told Felicity what had happened at the mall.

Felicity jumped to her feet and hurriedly checked Su Quan's body. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?"

Su Quan held her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous. "I'm fine. Even without her, I'll be fine. But—she's loyal, and I won't betray her. She should have already left the Mercury Labs. Go find out where she is."

Felicity's expression changed, and she murmured, "You're not going to get back together with her, are you?"

"Stop joking. One Caitlin is enough for breaking up and getting back together. Brie Lawan—she's not exactly a good person. I'm just helping her out."

Su Quan smiled and said a line from his lines: "She's still young, please don't let her go down the path of crime!"

Brie Lawan, codename: The Peek-a-Boo!

After being fired from Mercury Labs, he grew increasingly resentful and began remotely controlling Machine Bee to kill and take revenge. Judging by the timeline, although the revenge hasn't started yet, it's coming soon!

PS: The Peek-a-Boo appeared in the 18th episode of the first season of the Flash, and later returned in the fifth seasons of Green Arrow and the Flash.

Also, the picture is of her.

Felicity typed rapidly on the keyboard with a serious and focused expression. Her hands moved like butterflies fluttering among flowers, giving off an artistic aura that was both incomprehensible and awe-inspiring.

Plunderer is highly skilled in computer science, and Felicity dares not underestimate her when facing her.

In fact, taking it seriously is the right thing to do.

After Su Quan finished his call with Caitlin and repeatedly assured her that he was fine, he noticed that Felicity's computer screen was black and emitting plumes of burnt black smoke.

Felicity, her face dark with displeasure, said, "The office equipment is terrible. Even with the satellites from STAR Labs, the efficiency is still too low."

"But--"

"I didn't lose either. I've already found her location and sent it to your phone."

Su Quan looked at his phone and, sure enough, received an address from her.

He put away his phone, patted Felicity on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Here's what you'll do: go and buy a set of the most advanced equipment available right now, and I'll reimburse you as a reward."

Felicity looked up at him. "Are you sure? If it's the kind that meets my requirements, it'll be very expensive! It might cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!"

Su Quan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying with a smile, "No amount of money is too expensive for you."

"What a damn sweet talk!"

Felicity murmured softly. She knew better than anyone, even Su Quan himself, how much money the company could make!

He may have his flaws, but he also has his strengths, and his strengths are enough to make many people, including Felicity herself, overlook or accept his flaws!

Evening at a bee farm.

Rows of computer cases were arranged neatly like beehives. Not far away, on a semi-circular control panel, seven or eight monitors were working simultaneously, displaying different content.

A blonde woman with black-rimmed glasses sat in a swivel chair, moving left and right while controlling several computers.

"Um?"

Plunderer stopped as if he had noticed something, turned his chair, and looked at the man who had appeared behind him at some point.

"I thought Felicity was only focused on making money for you and had become rusty, but I didn't expect her to still find me."

"Long time no see, Su Quan."

Su Quan nodded, walked over calmly, looked around, and said with a smile, "You've probably spent all your savings over the years, haven't you?"

Plunderer did not deny that these devices, as well as the swarms of Machine Bee she made, were quite expensive.

"I heard that you wanted to weaponize the Machine Bee project. Your colleague found out and reported you, which led to Dr. Thena McGee firing you from Mercury Labs."

Plunderer raised an eyebrow. "You've been keeping an eye on me? No wonder Felicity started looking for me after I saved you at the mall."

Instead of answering, Su Quan asked, "Are you doing all this to get revenge on them?"

"And Felicity," Plunderer scoffed. "I'll beat her. I'll prove to you that I'm better than her!"

"Then what?"

Su Quan tossed the indignant Plunderer's golden hair, watching her stiff body, rapid breathing, and unfocused gaze, and asked softly, "Don't you want to come back to me and continue working for me?"

"You fire her and I'll go back. I can assure you, I'll do an even better job than her!"

Su Quan smiled and said, "If I were in mortal danger, she would risk her life to save me. If it were a choice between two options, believe me and believe her. She would sacrifice herself to let me live."

Plunderer scoffed, "If your life is in danger, I will kill your enemies, and I have already proven that!"

Plunderer's Machine Bee didn't kill the Toxin Man, after all, the Toxin Man was a poison man, but she did prove that what she said was true.

If Su Quan is in danger, she will eliminate the enemy who poses the danger to Su Quan.

Su Quan shook his head. "I don't care about those people at Mercury Labs. If you're really angry and want revenge, that's fine with you. But Felicity, I won't fire her, and I don't plan to let you go back to Void Medical."

Plunderer's expression changed. "Then why did you come to see me? I have no interest in drinking with you."

Su Quan curled his lip. "Do you remember that villa I took you to before? I set up a special team there, or rather, I was preparing to set it up."
