Europe, England, Northwest England, Merseyside, Liverpool, Anfield Stadium.
As the entire stadium sang the team anthem, welcoming the players onto the field, Shimizu, with a cheeseburger in one hand, sat in the VIP box accompanied by Liverpool Football Club's CEO, Peter Moore, and Sporting Director, Michael Edwards.
The cameras in the stadium occasionally turned towards Shimizu.
Because he is now the new owner of this team.
As of today, Shimizu's personal net worth in the DC world has exceeded $30 billion, ranking him in the top 300 on Forbes' global rich list.
This is the visible asset; in reality, the uncalculated portion is only more than $30 billion.
The power of the Water Group in Gotham has developed, although not yet to its limit, but subsequent progress can only rely on time to slowly grind, integrating into the city in various aspects like the Wayne Group.
However, the existing food, clothing, housing, and transportation sectors are already within the Wayne Group's sphere of influence, so now the Water Group can only explore new areas, such as some high-tech and internet fields.
At the same time, this is also an important way for the Water Group to expand its influence and power externally.
Multiple major cities across the United States have already established branches, striving to expand their sphere of influence across the United States while also turning their attention to other countries and continents.
The United Kingdom is the first stop for the Water Group to enter Europe, and acquiring a world-class football club is the first step in entering the United Kingdom.
Even a broken ship has three pounds of rusty nails. Although my Great Britain is about to become Little Britain, almost losing Ireland and not really being the United Kingdom, it is still world-class in many fields.
And in this country, which is famous for football hooligans, although there was the embarrassing incident of two thousand fans brawling outside the stadium and being beaten by two hundred Russian fans, no matter what, this country's fanaticism for football is still among the best in the world.
Liverpool is a veteran powerhouse in British football and even world football, with so many championships that they can't be counted.
However, this team's performance has fallen to a historical low in the last five or six years, and now their performance has even fallen into the middle reaches of the Premier League.
This is precisely a good opportunity to buy low.
No one knows that the bearded uncle in the stands below, the team's newly appointed head coach of only a few months, will lead this team back to the top of the world in the next few years.
Now is the perfect time to acquire the team.
The team's head coach, Jurgen Klopp, is someone who can do great things with little money. I only need to invest a certain amount of funds regularly every once in a while based on the judgment of professionals, and it will continuously bring a lot of revenue and external influence to the Water Group in the next few years.
At the same time.
In the British Museum.
A woman with distinct facial features, like a goddess in ancient Greek mythology, full of unique charm, is holding a camera in front of her chest, taking pictures of the Athena stone sculpture in front of her.
"Diana, come and see, you are an expert in ancient Greek artifacts, come and see this Harpe sword. It is said that this is the sword of Perseus that beheaded Medusa."
An old professor wearing glasses looked at the ancient short sword placed in the glass display case in front of him and shouted at Diana.
"This should be a replica made by later generations. Although the time may be about the same and the shape is basically the same, look here, this mark has appeared on many ancient Greek artifacts of the same period. I personally speculate that this may be the personal mark of King Archidamus II of Sparta at that time."
Diana smiled slightly and said.
"Oh, you know it so well."
"Family tradition."
Diana tilted her head and walked towards another ancient Greek artifact.
After all, Hercules is her biological brother.
Suddenly, the earth trembled.
"What happened? Is it an earthquake?"
The old professor grabbed the wall beside him and exclaimed.
"No…"
Diana steadied herself, turned her head towards the door, and looked at the fleeing crowd.
"This doesn't look like an earthquake at all."
Liverpool.
As the game ended and the fans were orderly evacuating the stadium, the ground suddenly shook.
"Mr. Water, we…"
"Jefferson, go out and ask what happened outside."
Shimizu opened his mouth to one of his assistant team members.
Without error, one first, one hair, one inside, one capacity, one is in one look!
A few minutes later.
Without Jefferson continuing to investigate, this incident was pushed to the homepage of the Internet news.
The headline picture showed the world's major coastlines filled with mountain-like piles of garbage.
This is…
Did they throw all the garbage that humans have thrown into the sea over the past hundred years back onto the land?
And the forces capable of doing this are probably the group of people living at the bottom of the sea, right?
What madness has Atlantis gone into?
Shimizu glanced at the text message reminder on his phone.
"Cancel the dinner tonight, let's go back to the hotel first."
Shimizu stood up from his chair, gave an order, and immediately exited the stadium, taking a car to a hotel.
This four-star hotel is near the stadium and was also purchased when he acquired the team, in order to create a commercial ecosystem around the stadium. Some design masters will also be invited later to upgrade this hotel.
Arriving at the hotel's presidential suite, Shimizu closed the curtains, turned on the phone's front camera and rear flash, and placed it on the table with a stand.
A few seconds later, several figures were projected in three dimensions.
Batman, Flash, and Superman, who was still wearing glasses and a suit.
"Is this urgent meeting about the garbage on the sea surface? I was just writing a press release."
Clark said as he took off his glasses.
And when his glasses were taken off, he suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person.
Even though he had seen it several times, Shimizu still found it very outrageous, but he couldn't find any problems.
Clearly, the face is still the same face, but the difference between wearing glasses and not wearing glasses is simply huge.
"This is not a normal natural disaster. It was done by the underwater civilization of Atlantis. A long time ago, when I was studying around the world, I traveled alone through the Sahara Desert. There, I found a lost Atlantean ruin and learned about the history of this ancient country. Afterwards, I also released unmanned submarines to explore the world's oceans."
"Although not much useful information was found, until just now, the last batch of destroyed unmanned submarines sent me information."
"The Atlanteans are gathering an army, preparing to invade the mainland."
