Deadshot gave Killer Frost a look, and Killer Frost nodded, immediately taking out her phone to make a call.
"Don't suspect that we have ill intentions towards you. You can guess who wants to negotiate with you. We are just following orders."
Deadshot explained to Clark.
Clark said nothing more, turning his gaze to the police outside who had remained still.
He had roughly guessed who wanted to talk to him.
Not long after Killer Frost made the call, the sound of helicopter blades came from the rooftop.
Clark did not resist for the time being and followed Deadshot and the others into the helicopter.
The sound of the rotating blades quickly left the Metropolis city center, carrying Clark towards the outskirts of the city.
Twenty minutes later, the helicopter landed outside a military base.
Clark disembarked from the helicopter and, led by Deadshot and the others, walked towards the military base.
What puzzled him was that he used his Heat Vision to scan the area and found no personnel, neither soldiers nor base maintenance staff.
This abnormality made him frown.
Entering a pre-prepared room inside the military base, Deadshot, Black Spider, Killer Frost, and Harley Quinn stood beside Clark.
Inside the spacious silver-white room, a virtual display screen lit up.
Several figures seated around a conference table appeared on the display screen.
"Superman."
An official with somewhat graying hair, seemingly a high-ranking official, sitting at the head of the conference table, said to him, "We have been looking forward to this meeting for a long time. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦"
"I don't think there's anything we need to meet about."
Clark said with a frown.
"No, of course there is, after all, you are now within the borders of the United States, and you are also a part of its citizens. We all hope to make this country better, don't we?"
"I am not part of the citizens of the United States, at least not in this capacity."
"Then to what do you belong?"
Clark looked directly into the other party's eyes and said, "I belong to all humanity!"
Clark stated that Clark Kent was a part of this country, but for Superman, he was not; he did not belong to a specific country but to the entire world.
"So is Superman stateless? If he does not acknowledge his country, then do not expect him to consider issues from the standpoint of all humanity."
An official on the other end of the virtual projection sneered at Clark, "The reason for constant conflict in the world is that everyone strives to fight for their own country, and the misunderstandings and differences in beliefs are destined from birth. Superman was born in America, so his label is affixed to America; he was born to fight for America with heaven-forged human rights!"
"After the Metropolis incident, all Americans were very dissatisfied; they urgently needed the government to take some action. However, the government has been trying to suppress this matter, the purpose of which is to protect you and Homelander. You and Homelander defeated the invading Kryptonians, but you are not understood by the people because you have never stepped forward, not even subtly expressing your stance, your political ideas!"
"All actions in this world can be explained by politics, Superman! As long as you step forward and say, 'I fight for this country, I am subject to the jurisdiction of the American government,' then all these farces will cease to exist!"
The official offered his suggestion, "People are just afraid, and we—we can stand together and make people no longer afraid!"
Clark listened to the other party's statement to him and fell silent.
He disagreed with the other party's words but did not know how to refuse them.
"If you don't agree, then do we become your enemies?"
As Clark hesitated, a familiar voice came from outside.
Clark looked back and saw Eric, dressed in a black uniform, had already walked in.
Upon Eric's sudden entrance, Deadshot and the others present, as well as the officials on the virtual screen, were all stunned.
Deadshot was about to pull out his pistol when Eric, who had rushed to his side like light, instantly sent him flying.
Black Spider reacted the fastest, taking a step forward and raising his fist to strike Eric, only to be grabbed by the neck and slammed to the ground by Eric.
With a bang, Black Spider's body hit the ground heavily.
Feeling as if his back was about to break, Black Spider let out a painful groan.
Killer Frost had already raised her ice gun, its muzzle, capable of releasing cold freezing gas, aimed at Eric.
Upon pulling the trigger, the freezing gas immediately surged towards Eric.
However, the freezing gas was blocked by Eric with one hand.
Heat Vision instantly shot from his eyes, directly cutting the freezing gun held by Killer Frost in half, then, with undiminished force, impacted her arm.
