Upon hearing Diana's words, Russell hesitated for a moment.
Of course, he was well aware of what the Justice League was.
Although this wasn't the DC Universe where Diana came from, he couldn't possibly be completely ignorant about the DC Universe, which was just as famous as the Marvel Universe.
It was precisely because of his understanding that he now felt something was off.
If he recalled correctly, when Diana crossed over to this world, the Justice League hadn't been formed yet.
So, the question arose: why did Diana speak the name "Justice League" without any hesitation?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the name 'Justice League'?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on Russell's face, Diana asked softly.
"The name 'Justice League' is fine, it sounds good. I'm just a bit curious, why did you choose this name?"
Russell inquired of Diana.
"This name wasn't chosen by me; Bruce came up with it."
"After we held Clark's funeral, Bruce told me about his idea of forming a superhero team. It was at that moment he mentioned the name 'Justice League'."
"I think it's a good name, and it suits your current superhero rebranding plan."
Diana offered a brief explanation.
After she finished, Russell looked as if he had figured something out.
Subsequently, he said slowly, "Then let's call it the Justice League!"
After discussing this topic, Russell and Diana continued their walk after dinner, moving along the riverbank at a leisurely pace.
During their walk, they talked about some of the things they had experienced during the month they were apart.
There wasn't much to say about Russell's side, as Diana already knew about it while investigating the Dead Sea ruins.
After all, Russell had been calling her every few days during that time.
However, Russell didn't know much about what Diana and the others had found in the ruins. He only knew that they had uncovered some ancient documents there.
Diana hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly, "After preliminary analysis, it's now confirmed that the documents we excavated are indeed part of the Dead Sea Scrolls."
The Dead Sea Scrolls referred to ancient manuscripts written in Hebrew that were discovered in ancient caves along the coast of the Dead Sea.
These scrolls can be categorized into three main groups.
The first group consists of copies of Old Testament books.
The second group includes biblical commentaries, interpretations, paraphrases, pseudo-biblical works, and related writings.
The third group contains non-biblical documents.
Within the non-biblical documents, a significant portion consists of prophecies related to the end of the world.
Although Russell wasn't an archaeologist, he had still heard of the fame of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
In the spring of 1947, the first batch of Dead Sea Scrolls was discovered by chance.
These were the oldest Jewish manuscripts found to date, and the name "Dead Sea Scrolls" originates from this accidental discovery.
However, Russell's knowledge of the Dead Sea Scrolls had nothing to do with archaeology. He was interested due to a classic anime.
"Any new discoveries?"
Russell continued to inquire.
"Most of them are similar to the previously excavated Dead Sea Scrolls..."
Pausing at this point, Diana continued, "However, there are some scrolls that are quite peculiar."
"Although these scrolls were also written in Hebrew, they are clearly encrypted. What the encryption contains hasn't been deciphered yet."
Russell: "..."
Really?
Starting from 1947, new Dead Sea Scrolls have been discovered continuously, but so far, there hasn't been any mention of encrypted scrolls.
Russell wondered if he was overthinking things as the image from a classic anime popped into his mind.
No way!
This is the Marvel Universe; there's no way something like the Angels from that worlds could exist. Impossible!
It should be...
Impossible, right?
Russell didn't continue questioning Diana about the Dead Sea Scrolls. He continued walking along the riverside street with her.
Finally, they returned to the parking lot near the family restaurant.
Just as Russell was about to start the car and return to the apartment, Diana suddenly grabbed his right hand from the gearshift and placed it on her perfectly contoured and textured thigh.
Though Diana hadn't said anything, Russell instantly understood her intention.
Russell didn't speak, but he quickly surveyed the surroundings.
Great!
No one and no cars around!
.......
When Russell and Diana returned to Sky Apartments, it had been two hours.
Although the interior space of the Porsche 911 wasn't particularly spacious, Russell and Diana were accustomed to this.
After Diana returned from her business trip, Russell's life finally returned to normal.
Now he no longer needed to sleep alone, hugging a pillow in solitude. No matter how soft the pillow was, it couldn't compare to the smooth and fair skin of a real person.
Days passed by in this manner.
In the blink of an eye, over half a month had gone by.
After this half-month of hard work, No. 3 and Peter finally managed to create the four sets of Zaku needed by General, allowing Russell to successfully obtain the follow-up payment of 300 million dollars.
After delivering the Zaku to the military, Russell didn't immediately have No. 3 and Peter produce the twenty sets of Zaku needed by Hydra.
On the surface, it appeared that way.
But in reality, No. 3 was still the one manufacturing the suits.
With the support of the processing plants, No. 3 worked through the night coding various programs, transforming the processing plant, which originally required skilled workers, into an unmanned factory.
As for Peter, Russell had him focus on developing new weapons.
On the day the Octopus Monster Arms Company opened for business, General Ross stood on the platform as agreed for the company's launch.
Not only that, General Ross also brought a few military orders and several high-ranking military officials, fulfilling the promise he had made initially.
Besides the Octopus Monster Arms Company, Russell's Stardust Charity Organization also started operating smoothly.
Although Russell hadn't invited Diana to join the arms company and laboratory, Diana voluntarily expressed interest in taking a position at the Stardust Charity Organization.
Without much thought, Russell agreed to Diana's request, making her the head of the Stardust Charity Organization.
It's worth mentioning that Peter's beautiful aunt was now Diana's deputy.
For Diana, the Stardust Charity Organization was just a side venture; her primary focus was the museum.
When Diana wasn't around, Peter's beautiful aunt would take charge of all matters related to the charity organization.
It wasn't until Diana became the head of the charity organization that Russell saw Peter's beautiful aunt again.
However, this time he realized that a job that genuinely brought joy and happiness could radiate an entirely different charm.
He had thought Peter's beautiful aunt, May Parker, was at least in her forties by now.
To his surprise, when he inquired, he found out that Peter's beautiful aunt was much younger than he had imagined.
Peter was only 16 years old this year, and his beautiful aunt was just 36 years old.
36 might be considered the prime of life for a woman, but everyone is different.
No wonder Tony, who was accustomed to seeing beauties, gave such a complimentary evaluation the first time he saw Peter's aunt.
To receive such praise from Tony, a seasoned player in the field of romance, was no easy feat.
Honestly, when Russell saw Peter's beautiful aunt again in the charity organization's office building, he couldn't help but feel a sense of brightness in his eyes.
