Chapter 021: Conversation

Washington, Smithsonian.

Diana is carefully restoring a marble statue that is thousands of years old and has a strong Greek artistic style.

It's her type.

Just as she was concentrating on her work, she heard a notification sound from an email on the computer.

Diana continued working for an hour before putting down the tools in her hand and going to the computer to read.

But she quickly frowned.

She saw a photo attached to the email, which was one she took with her colleagues back then.

Diana didn't know how it got leaked.

This was followed by a sentence below the photo:

"Dear Diana Prince, we have no malicious intentions, we just hope to meet you and talk to you."

"We will come to meet you tomorrow, hope to see you soon."

"Your future friends: Shazam and Clark Kent."

Diana raised her eyebrows and suddenly smiled slightly.

"A good friend from the future...?"

The next day, Diana deliberately arrived early at her studio and told her assistant not to disturb her.

She then sat quietly in the studio, reading the latest archaeological magazines to pass the time.

Without making her wait, a breeze soon blew into the studio and Diana felt the breath of magic.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the studio.

"Please come in."

Diana knew it was absolutely impossible for her colleague to be outside the door.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, on the other side was a scene that had never been seen before.

There was the Rock of Eternity and two tall, handsome men standing outside the door.

It was Dane and Clark, both well-dressed without looking too formal or too casual.

Diana recognized Dane at a glance and her expression was slightly subtle.

As the president of Pioneer Technology, although Dane has always kept a low profile, it is impossible for him to completely hide in the fast-paced world.

A little publicity in the media, along with his name prominently on the wealth list, is easy for those who are interested to remember him.

Diana also has her own account on Kuaijiu. Although she is almost a thousand years old, Her Royal Highness claims to be a young person who understands trends very well.

"Excuse me, Princess Diana Prince of the Amazons, or should I say, Wonder Woman?"

As usual, Dane opened first and Clark stepped aside with a smile.

Diana stood up and shook hands with Dane.

"I didn't expect Dane Davis, the famous president of Pioneer Technology, to be a necromancer... Huh? Impossible!"

In the moment they held hands, Diana truly felt a vast divine power emanating from him.

Between them was the breath of her deceased father, Zeus!

Diana's relaxed expression instantly turned dignified.

Dane clearly felt that this Amazon warrior had officially entered battle mode, and if he didn't say the next sentence, she might start fighting immediately.

He first praised the opponent's combat quality and then calmly explained:

"Please temporarily cease your hostility, how about you listen to my explanation?"

It must be said that good looks are good for a person. Seeing Dane's calm and handsome face, Diana felt it difficult to associate him with someone evil. She hesitated for a moment and then relaxed.

"Thank you."

Dane then explained the origin of Shazam's power, which was the first time Clark had heard of it.

He looked at Dane with wide eyes, "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"You didn't ask either." Dane didn't care.

At first, it was because they didn't know each other and, with Dane's cautious habit, he kept it to himself.

Later on, it was because they became too familiar and he wanted to find the right opportunity to talk about it but couldn't find one.

He couldn't just casually talk to Clark and reveal his secret when he had free time, right?

So it dragged on and he forgot about it.

Clark didn't say a word, he just sat to the side and sulked. He wasn't the first to find out something so important!

Do you still consider him your friend?

Dane ignored him and continued with Diana:

"The power of Shazam is a magical contract signed with six gods. I just need to recite the spell to obtain the power of the six gods at the same time."

"As a price or responsibility for this power, I must become the defender of magic and the bridge between the human and Asgardian worlds."

He didn't hide this information because Diana had a sense of truth. Instead of accidentally being deceived and not knowing the truth in future actions, causing a rift between them, it's better to speak clearly from the beginning.

Diana didn't believe Dane's words. She has been in the human world for almost a hundred years. Diana is no longer the innocent girl who had just left the island.

As expected by Dane, he opened his hands and somehow produced a bundle of mantra cords that radiated golden light.

"I presume this is the 'Lasso of Truth'."

Dane looked at the rope and laughed.

Diana's eyes gleamed, "You know a lot."

Dane modestly said, "I only know what I need to know."

"Then you must also know that even a God cannot resist the power of the Lasso."

Dane definitely knows that in the animated film "Flashpoint Paradox," Wonder Woman even used the lasso to ask Shazam to shout "SHAZAM" to undo his transformation, and ultimately massacred the Shazam family.

That's why he secured the word "Shazam" first.

Are Black Adam and Billy Batson stupid?

Don't they want to compensate for such a big weakness?

Dane took the initiative to wrap the lasso around his hands several times to show his sincerity.

Diana received his sincerity and most of her guard lowered, but she still asked some cautious questions.
