Chapter 906 Hippolyta: Call me Director!
"Long time no see, Her Majesty Queen Hippolyta." Li Chengfeng walked forward, held Hippolyta's hand, and kissed it gently. "How have you been recently?"
"Agent Li, I'd rather you call me Director than Queen." Hippolyta puffed out her chest proudly, "Director Hippolyta!"
"...No, sister, you've really gotten too caught up in the role-playing?" Li Chengfeng was stunned, then released her hand. Then, he said earnestly, "It seems Diana is right. I should watch fewer TV dramas about rural areas in the Republic... Or, in other words, I should stop focusing on those films about poverty alleviation and becoming rich..."
"You actually thought I was just role-playing?" Hippolyta's expression was even more remarkable, her elegant eyes revealing a tremendous passion for reform and opening up. "I truly see a way forward for Paradise Island, and even Mount Olympus, within the Republic's system!"
"No, do I need to remind you again, you are descendants of the gods of Mount Olympus..." Although Li Chengfeng also supported the Republic's plan for Paradise Island and Mount Olympus, he was more worried about the style of the painting. "What I mean is, you shouldn't be the kind of people who talk nonsense, spout obscure prophecies, and then dress in revealing ancient Greek clothes... I mean simple clothes as the Riddler?"
"You're talking about Paradise Island from hundreds of years ago... Everyone's already tired of this kind of character design."
The conversation between Li Chengfeng and Hippolyta was in standard Republican language from beginning to end.
Among the people present, except for Kate's family who couldn't understand, everyone else had no communication barriers at all.
"Selina? You can understand it too?" Bruce Wayne asked Selina in a low voice with some surprise, "This is a bit beyond my imagination..."
"Then it seems you need to sharpen your imagination a bit," Selina answered in the Republic language. "Don't forget what I used to do... Among all the priceless treasures in the world, Republic antiques are definitely the most valuable targets! If I weren't proficient in the Republic language and treasure appraisal, how could I identify them?"
"...No wonder you chose to handle Asia-Pacific affairs after retiring from the criminal world and joining the Wayne Group."
Bruce Wayne showed a knowing expression.
The initial greetings did not last long.
When Li Chengfeng introduced Hippolyta to Kate Kane and her family of three, the situation suddenly changed.
"Agent Li, are you saying that this Hippolyta... Queen is Diana's mother?" Jacob Kane stared blankly at the smiling Queen Hippolyta before him, then swallowed hard. "Then what about Diana's father? Could it be that Diana came from a single-parent family?"
"What? Do you look down on single-parent families?" Li Chengfeng asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, how could that be possible... We're just curious about Diana's family background," Christina Kane said, covering her husband's blunt and blunt mouth. "He's just not very good at talking."
"There's no need to be so nervous, in-laws." Li Chengfeng waved his hand nonchalantly. "This is indeed my mistake. Diana's father's identity is quite special. I guess she hasn't told Kate..."
"That's right, that's why we want to know more... After all, this is a marriage between two families."
"Indeed, now that it's come to this, it's okay to tell you." Li Chengfeng covered his mouth with his hand, pretending to be mysterious, and whispered, "Diana's father is actually the king of Mount Olympus... Zeus."
"Zeus?" Kate Kane laughed out loud upon hearing this. "Great-grandfather, please stop making fun of me..."
"What good is there in fooling you?"
"… What the hell? Are you serious!? Zeus? Zeus's Zeus?"
Kate Kane looked at Li Chengfeng's serious expression and was confused for a moment, her tongue tied.
"You, you, you... didn't you say Diana was the princess of Paradise Island?"
"That's right, it's also the highest flower on Mount Olympus..."
"Gah-"
"Fuck! Isn't this childishness a bit too much!?"
Li Chengfeng picked up Kate Kane who was falling backwards with her eyes rolled back.
After experiencing a huge shock of reality, Kate Kane fainted. Is that okay?
The dizziness made the Kanes panic.
After all, the word Zeus has a huge impact on their worldview.
Greek mythology is even more popular in Western countries than various fairy tales.
Not knowing who Zeus is is as absurd as the people of the Republic not knowing who Sun Wukong is.
Make a horizontal comparison and tell a family in the Republic that their daughter is having sex with Sun Wukong's daughter. Do you think they will be dizzy?
So the Kanes are considered to be strong-willed people.
Hippolyta looked at the visitor who had suddenly become confused, then calmly raised her enamel cup and took a sip of tea...
Then he spat out two mouthfuls of tea leaves.
"It's another peaceful day."
……
After settling the others at home, Li Chengfeng followed Hippolyta to the former Queen's Palace of Paradise Island, now the office of the village director of Paradise Island.
"Hello, director!"
"Master Seal is good!"
Along the way, various types of Republican dialect, some standard and some non-standard, were heard one after another.
Hippolyta nodded in response to each one.
Li Chengfeng, who was following beside him, was amazed.
The overall construction progress of Paradise Island is much higher now than the last time I came here.
With the technical support of the Republic's female infrastructure team, the infrastructure of the entire Paradise Island and even Mount Olympus has reached the average level of the Republic.
The entire Paradise Island is well-equipped.
After all, it is called an "island" and a "village", but its actual area is definitely the size of a county-level city in the Republic.
Apart from the fact that Hippolyta prefers an atmosphere with a strong rural flavor, the overall technological content is actually not low.
For example, the entire Paradise Island is fully covered by the three major domestic operators and is directly connected to the Republic network.
"It seems that you have already made up your minds to become part of the Republic."
"What's wrong with becoming part of the Republic?" Hippolyta smiled. "I just want to make life more convenient for the Amazons."
"If that's the only reason, then the Republic is indeed the best choice."
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement.
Hippolyta looked at Huangpizi and Sephiroth, the mother and daughter, who were following Li Chengfeng and observing everything along the way, and asked in a low voice:
"Agent Li... I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really lucky to still be alive and well without Hela, the goddess of death."
"Why is there another death?"
"The scumbag's end... is very tragic."
