Marvel's Superman Chapter 44
Advertisement
In Venice Palace's bedchamber, the lights were still bright, and the fluttering candlelight reflected the famous oil paintings and extravagant decorations.
Different from the previous banquets, full of the laughter of the upper-class guests.
Tonight's Venice Palace was very quiet, shrouded in deathly silence.
"Rescue Leader! Kill the Americans!"
"Long live Italy! Long live the Führer!"
A few harsh slogans suddenly sounded, accompanied by a burst of fierce gunfire, but quickly calmed down.
These kinds of minor disturbances simply didn't arouse any waves.
Those fools who are brainwashed by fanatical fascism couldn't really make any waves.
"Captain, this is the eleventh time. "
Dugan's dark face was full of tension.
He hasn't recovered from the successful raid in the afternoon. So far, he couldn't believe it. It was all real!
The Italian dictator, the Prime Minister of a country, Mussolini, who supported the Axis Powers and Hitler, unexpectedly became their prisoner.
"Let other members take turns on duty. The Italian defenders won't attack rashly. Their King is eager to hang Mussolini in the square. "
Luke kept his composure. Right now, he had Mussolini as a bargaining chip in his hand, and the fascist forces in Rome didn't dare to move.
As for the toppled King of Italy and the royal family, they wanted Luke to send Mussolini to the gallows immediately.
"The King has issued an announcement to depose Prime Minister Mussolini, and the royal family took over the army ... Seven gunmen died, and four were seriously injured in the raid ... The Allied Command sent a telegram. The British and the U.S. both want to seize ownership of Italy. The State Department and the Pentagon, the War Department and the Navy Department are all quarreling..."
Dum Dum Dugan reported the situation today. Things are going as Luke expected.

No matter how the British and Americans argue, this credit belonged to him anyway, and no one could take it away.
Luke was excited when he thought of the reputation value that was soaring like a rocket on his character panel.
"Let them fight to their heart's content. Rome and Mussolini are the chips in our hands. We will sell them to whoever offers the highest price. "
Luke smiled; he had already made a plan.
This isn't a military operation but an armed kidnapping; when Mussolini fell into his hands, he accomplished the mission.
All that remains is a political game between the rising Bald Eagle and the weakening John Bull.
However, these complicated intrigues have nothing to do with Luke himself, and he wasn't interested.
Luke wants a medal of honor that belonged to a war hero and a massive amount of reputation.
"Italians have a good attitude. The King is a wise man. He immediately ousted Mussolini and ignored Venice Palace's occupation because they wanted to show goodwill to the Allies. "
Luke saw clearly that Howling Commandos alone wouldn't be able to stop the Roman garrison.
However, there weren't as many fascist forces loyal to Mussolini and Axis countries as imagined.
This is Luke's reason for staying in the Venice Palace; behind him are the Allied troops who had already landed in Sicily.
"Everything is as you said. "
Dugan sincerely admired it.
Even though he won a fantastic victory, the Howling Commandos' young Captain wasn't carried away and remained unfazed and calm.
"However, who are we going to sell Italy to?"
Dugan asked again.
His voice trembled slightly because Luke's thoughts directly determined the future of the Howling Commandos.
"We, of course, are giving President Roosevelt this critical chip."
Luke didn't take long to think about it and quickly gave his answer.

The most re-elected president in the history of the United States of America was a powerful and flexible person to work with.
Moreover, the President sitting in the White House needs an outstanding contribution from luck to shut up the public's mouth.
After all, no one can deny that Roosevelt did play tricks in the Presidential campaign and deceived all the voters.
If they get the credit for capturing Italy, the other side will surely be grateful for the goodwill Luke passed on.
"It looks like tomorrow Allied Command will be able to send someone to take over. "
Dugan nodded. Now, he listened to Luke's every word.
One victory after another has established the young Captain's authority in the team.
Who would have thought that an unknown six-member team would have made this fantastic and legendary achievement?
"Send a telegram to the White House and wait for the President's message. "
Luke ordered it down.
From the moment Dugan sent the telegram of victory to Allied Command, the reputation refresh notifications didn't stop.
[Side Quest: Flowers and Glory, the war hero's second step! (Completed)]
[Requirements: Reputation value reached 8000 points. (Achieved)]

[Requirements: Reputation value reached 20,000 points. (Achieved)]
[Reward: One chance to draw Superman card (Obtained)]
Then, the third task, the fourth ...
Luke tilted his head and looked up at the deep night sky, revealing a satisfied smile. He was about to draw a new superman card.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
