Felicity typed rapidly with a serious and focused expression; her hands were like butterflies dancing among flowers, giving a sense of art that was hard to define but impressive.
Brie Larvan's computer skills were very high, and Felicity didn't dare to be careless when dealing with her.
In fact, taking it seriously was the right approach.
After Samuel finished Caitlin's call and repeatedly assured her that he was completely fine, he found that the computer in front of Felicity had gone black, emitting wisps of burnt black smoke.
Felicity said with a dark expression, unconvinced, "The equipment in the office is too poor; even though I borrowed Star Labs' satellite, the efficiency couldn't keep up."
"However—"
"I didn't lose either, I've already found her location, and I've sent it to your phone."
Samuel looked at his phone and indeed received an address she had sent.
Putting away his phone, he patted Felicity's shoulder and said with a smile, "You worked hard, how about this, you go buy the most advanced equipment currently available, I'll reimburse you, it's your reward."
Felicity looked up at him, "Are you sure? If it's the kind that meets my requirements, it's very expensive! It might cost tens of millions, or even over a hundred million!"
Samuel lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying with a smile, "No amount of money spent on you is expensive."
"These damn charming sweet words!"
Felicity murmured softly; she knew better than anyone, even better than Samuel himself, how much money the company could make!
Perhaps he had this or that flaw, but similarly, he also had strengths, and his strengths were enough for many people, including Felicity herself, to overlook or accept his flaws!
In the evening, a certain apiary.
Rows of computer cases were neatly arranged like beehives, and not far away, on a semicircular console, seven or eight monitors were working simultaneously, displaying different content.
A blonde woman wearing black-rimmed glasses sat on a swivel chair, moving left and right, controlling multiple computers at the same time.
"Hmm?"
Brie Larvan seemed to sense something and stopped, turning her chair to look at the man who had appeared behind her at some point.
"I thought Felicity was only focused on helping you make money and her skills had gotten rusty, but I didn't expect her to still find me."
"Long time no see, Samuel."
Samuel nodded, walked over calmly, looked around, and said with a smile, "Your savings over the years must be spent, right?"
Brie Larvan didn't deny it; these pieces of equipment, as well as the swarms of machine bees she had created, were all quite expensive.
"I heard that you wanted to weaponize the machine bee project; your colleague found out and reported you, leading to you being fired from Mercury Labs by Dr. Tina McGee."
Brie Larvan raised an eyebrow, "You've been keeping an eye on me? No wonder after I saved you at the mall, Felicity started looking for me."
Samuel didn't answer but asked instead, "Are you doing this to get revenge on them?"
"And Felicity." Brie Larvan snorted, "I will defeat her, I will prove to you that I am better than her!"
"Then what?"
Samuel stroked Brie Larvan's angry blonde hair, watched her body stiffen, her breathing quicken, her eyes wander, and asked softly, "Don't you want to come back to me and continue working for me?"
"If you fire her, I'll come back, and I can guarantee you, I will absolutely do better than her!"
Samuel smiled, "If I encounter a life-threatening danger, she will risk herself to save me; if it's a choice between two, believe me, and believe her, she will sacrifice herself to let me live."
Brie Larvan snorted, "If you encounter a life-threatening danger, I will get rid of your enemy; I have already proven this point!"
Brie Larvan's machine bees didn't kill The Mist, after all, The Mist specialized in poison, but she did prove that what she said was true.
If Samuel was in danger, she would eliminate the enemy who brought danger to Samuel.
Samuel shook his head, "I don't care about those people at Mercury Labs; if you're really too angry and want revenge, that's up to you. But Felicity, I won't fire her, and I don't plan to let you return to Void Medical."
Brie Larvan's expression changed, "Then why did you come to find me? I'm not interested in drinking with you."
Samuel pouted, "Do you remember the Villa I took you to before? I established a special team there, to be precise, I'm just about to establish one."
"There's a woman named Lisa Snart there, she'll tell you about the current mission."
"Why should I?"
"You tell me to go and I go? When I left back then, you didn't even try to make me stay. For so many years, you never looked for me. Now I've saved you, and you don't even have a word of thanks, you just want me to come back to your side and do things for you…",
"You, who do you think you are?!"
Brie Larvan was very angry, extremely angry.
"Why should you?" Samuel chuckled, "You'll know why later."
"I'm leaving. Contact me anytime if anything comes up." Without waiting for Brie Larvan to agree, he waved his hand confidently, turned, and left.
Brie Larvan watched Samuel's departing figure with a look of wanting to say something but stopping, finally huffing and puffing angrily at the back of the chair.
Uh, who knows if she was angry at Samuel or herself!
"Oh, right!"
Samuel stopped at the door, suddenly paused, turned to the deliberately calm Brie Larvan, and said, "I thought of a codename for you. Originally, I wanted to call you 'Bulging-Eyed Bandit,' but you probably wouldn't like it."
"So, how about — Queen Bee!"
"Bulging-Eyed Bandit? What a terrible name, it sounds awful! Queen Bee—that's not bad."
Watching Samuel's figure completely disappear from her sight, Brie Larvan finally relaxed and muttered.
Late night, Star Labs.
Underground pipeline.
After the particle accelerator exploded, this place was basically abandoned. A few hours ago, Flash, with the support of his team, captured The Mist. Cisco made some modifications, transforming the underground pipeline into individual prisons capable of holding metahumans separately.
At this moment, the first metahuman criminal in the pipeline prison, The Mist, was being brutally beaten!
The one beating him was none other than Samuel!
"This is for not letting me go."
"This is for dragging others into it."
"This is for showing off."
"This is for seeking death."
Samuel cursed loudly while delivering punches.
The Mist's calming and lethal gas had no effect on Samuel, but Samuel's fists rendered The Mist's gas form useless, even when he was in it.
Pain!
Heart-wrenching pain!
Samuel's fists seemed to contain some special energy. Even when The Mist was in his gas form, the punches still landed accurately and caused tons of damage.
A few minutes later, The Mist was forced back into his human form, lying on the ground, on his last breath.
