Ross composed herself and said seriously, "If You are really doing this because You like me, then there's no need. We just met and don't know each other well. I won't accept anything from You."
After speaking, Ross worried that her direct refusal would make him feel awkward, so she added, "Although I can't give You a definite answer now, we can get to know each other slowly. Maybe I'll fall for You too!"
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "Are You really not accepting?"
Ross said with a firm attitude, "Yes."
"Not accepting the salary either?"
...
Ross paused for a moment and explained, "Of course I accept the salary. This is what I earned from working; it's rightfully mine. My meaning is, what You're giving me—"
Samuel waved his hand, interrupting her words, and directly used his Mind Manipulation Ability to summon her other personality, Floronic Man.
Ross's expression froze slightly, and then her originally cute and innocent demeanor instantly turned wild and fierce!
"Kid, You want to sleep with her?"
"Otherwise? Doing charity?"
Although Ross was very cute, Samuel still felt that communicating with Floronic Man was more direct and easier.
Given the same level of attractiveness, wildness is definitely more popular than cuteness, just like how cuteness is worthless in the face of sexiness!
Moreover, compared to Ross, Samuel was more optimistic about Floronic Man.
Although they were the same person, the one who became a superhero was Floronic Man, and the one who joined the Birds of Prey was also Floronic Man!
Floronic Man looked Samuel up and down with a twisted mouth, "Your looks aren't bad. Originally You had some chance, but now, give up. She's been scared by You."
Samuel said nonchalantly, "It's okay. If she can't, there's still You. Anyway, You share the same body, and the one I was truly looking for was You in the first place!"
"You actually dare to have ideas about me?" Floronic Man sneered and directly threw a punch without any warning.
"Slap!"
After the fist was thrown, it unexpectedly turned a corner uncontrollably and hit Floronic Man's own face.
Floronic Man was stunned for a moment, then swung her fist again.
"Slap!"
The fist hit her again.
"You, what did You do?" Floronic Man asked in horror.
Samuel shrugged: "I do whatever I want."
"You, don't You know that a melon forcibly twisted off the vine isn't sweet?" Floronic Man thought he was going to force her!
A melon forcibly twisted off the vine isn't sweet?
I'll eat it even with sauce!
Sand that can't be held?
I'll solidify it with blood!
Alright, that's what I thought, but it wouldn't come to that, after all, it hasn't reached that point yet, right?
Moreover, the development of events was being led astray by General Ross and Floronic Man. Yes, the two of them, one cute and one wild, were indeed very attractive. To say there were no thoughts would be nonsense.
Having thoughts is normal!
This has nothing to do with anything else, it's purely male instinct!
Samuel came to find her, partly because of Alan Scott, and partly because she was originally a member of the Birds of Prey, so having her join the Birds of Prey was also fitting.
Samuel shook his head at Floronic Man: "You're thinking too much!"
Floronic Man blinked: "You only want her body, not her heart?"
"I want both her body and her heart!"
Samuel also blinked, then said with a light chuckle: "My name is Samuel. Gotham Arkham Asylum is my territory, and I've assembled a team of women called the Birds of Prey."
"You have two choices."
"One, join the Birds of Prey and work for me."
"Two, be locked up in Arkham Asylum!"
Floronic Man stubbornly said: "What if I choose neither?"
Samuel shook his head: "The reason You are safe and sound now is because no one knows You and General Ross are the same person, but I know!"
"So what if You know? Do You have proof?"
"Proof..." Samuel smiled, raised the void battle bead on his wrist, and tapped it lightly.
In an instant, a holographic projection appeared. The content of the screen was exactly the conversation they had just had!
The change in Floronic Man's personality and the content of the conversation were enough to prove that she and General Ross were two different personalities.
If it were just multiple personalities, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the asylum isn't a charity. As long as she didn't break the law or disrupt social order, the asylum couldn't forcibly detain her.
But, while Floronic Man is a hero, considered a vigilante who fights crime, from a legal standpoint, she has indeed broken the law, and quite often!
Therefore, it was really not difficult at all for Samuel to detain her in the name of the asylum, and it was perfectly reasonable and legal!
He didn't even need to wait for the procedures to be completed before detaining her; he could completely lock her up in Arkham first, and then go through the procedures!
This was a condition agreed upon by ARGUS; whoever Samuel took a fancy to, he could take away!
"You're ruthless. When You need a fight, You can call me out. Other times... don't look for me!" Floronic Man snorted, putting on a brave front while inwardly weak, and compromised.
Immediately after, her expression stiffened, and she switched back to General Ross.
"Strange, why does my face hurt a little..." General Ross subconsciously gently rubbed her cheek, just as she was about to continue expressing her attitude to Samuel.
At this moment, a middle-aged man frantically pushed the door open and entered.
"Boss." General Ross called out.
The Boss casually responded and looked at Samuel: "The person who called just now must be him, right? He's quite young. He couldn't be messing with me, could he?"
"Ding!"
Just as he was about to speak, his phone's text message suddenly rang. He opened it and was stunned.
It was a bank message; twenty thousand U.S. dollars had been deposited into his account.
"Did You receive it?" Samuel asked indifferently.
The Boss nodded: "This, You transferred this money? You, how did You know my bank account?"
"That's not important. What's important is that this flower shop belongs to me now, right?"
"Yes, yes."
"That's good. You take her to complete the procedures. I've given this flower shop to her!"
Samuel pointed at General Ross and casually picked up a bouquet of packaged roses from the side.
"You handle the handover with him. I have something to do and will leave first. I'll come find You later!"
Samuel didn't wait for General Ross to react. Holding the roses, he turned and walked out of the flower shop.
Seeing the Boss's teasing and envious look, General Ross didn't know how to explain. Helplessly, she could only first handle the transfer procedures with the Boss. As for other matters... she could only wait until he came to find her again.
Metropolis is located in Delaware on the East Coast, not far from Gotham City. However, the appearance and atmosphere of the two cities are completely different. Metropolis is more bustling, busy, sunny, and lively.
The group buildings of different companies are one after another, towering and prosperous.
Rex Group, Flame Comics, Wayne Group... Samuel even spotted the Kyle International Group building.
However, the place he was going now was not these places, but a newspaper office almost exclusively associated with Metropolis and Superman.
