Chapter 295 Drinking Coffee Together?
Chapter 295 Drinking Coffee Together?
Lex Luthor didn't get punished.
Although he needs to bear a lot of responsibility for what Doomsday did in St. Roch and in Canada, those are things that can be done with money.
Besides, Lex Group is responsible for this matter, so what does it have to do with him, Alexander Luthor?
To be honest, in the Steppenwolf incident, this "enthusiastic citizen" also played a great role, although he may have completely forgotten it.
Luther also discovered that his secret hand was being used. At that time, his first reaction was disbelief, then shock, then anger, and finally calmness.
He didn't investigate who was behind the incident. He could just guess who needed him most at that time.
Judging from the "zero-sum thinking" of the United States, it is unlikely that they are.
And please forgive him for being rude, but he doesn't think the United States has the ability to crack the code he set.
So the only person or organization he could think of that could do this kind of thing without anyone noticing was the Justice League.
In this world, perhaps this organization is the only one that can break through his technology and take over everything he originally prepared for himself.
After thinking about this, Luthor's inner desire to destroy these Superman-like people became more active.
And his first opponent was not the guys in the main league who didn't have super ability.
Luthor doesn't like to pick the softest things first when doing things. If he wants to do something, he has to do the hardest things first! That's you, Superman!
When Doomsday attacked Metropolis, Luthor saw from the live broadcast that there might be some little-known secrets between Superman and Lois.
So he began to investigate Louise's interpersonal relationships.
He discovered that in the past two years, the female reporter had been dating a small town man named "Clark Kent".
What surprised him was that this man looked like a young reporter on the surface, but secretly he was the major shareholder of Pioneer Technology. Even if he didn't work, it would be enough for him to live a life without any worries.
He got into the Daily Planet apparently for Lois.
But what interests Luthor is, does Clark Kent know about the unexplained relationship between his girlfriend and Superman?
He was just too curious.
"Mr. Kent, have you and Louise known each other for a long time?" Luther asked.
Clark didn't want to answer him, but he didn't want to appear too rude, so he just reluctantly responded: "Lois and I have known each other for almost two years..."
"Two years? That's a long time." The expression on Luther's face was unpredictable, "Are you sure that Miss Louise is loyal to you?"
Clark thought Luther was provoking him, so he was a little annoyed and said: "That's for sure, the relationship between Lois and I is unbreakable!"
"Lex!"
Clark's voice suddenly became mute. He looked at Louise walking out of his apartment in an evening dress. She looked so beautiful.
But Louise pretended not to see Clark and gently put her hand on Luther's open arm.
"We didn't miss the dinner, did we?"
Luther showed a gentlemanly smile: "Definitely not, Miss Louise, by the way, you are so beautiful tonight.
Louise covered her mouth and smiled softly: "You're flattered."
Clark felt a little redundant, and a fire rose in his heart. This fire came out of nowhere and could not be stopped.
But Clark still has reason. Although he doesn't like Luther, nor does he like Louise being with him, it is her freedom to choose who to be with, and he has no right to stop it.
So he could only stammer: "Uh, you... you, you are going out..."
Louise seemed to have just discovered him at this moment, and said calmly: "We have a charity party to attend, you won't mind, right? After all, you also have some little secrets that I don't know about."
Both Clark and Lois knew that she was talking about Superman's identity, but only Luthor thought she was talking about Clark Kent hiding his wealth.
He was still a little disapproving. As a young and wealthy young man, it was nothing to have such an ambition. Instead, he felt that Louise was making a fuss out of a molehill.
He was very sure that Clark Kent had misunderstood their relationship, but this was not the case between him and Lois, and had no connection with Yiyi, but he did not explain this.
Could Clark say he minded? He couldn't.
Aside from his crush on a girl named Lana Lane in middle school, Clark didn't have any other love experiences.
Definitely, those girls Clark who have unrequited love for him will not know.
Just like he never knew, Lanalan had never forgotten him.
All in all, due to lack of experience in dealing with the current situation, Clark showed restraint from beginning to end. He got out of the way and allowed the two of them to pass.
Until Lois and Luther got into the car together, Clark's eyes were still fixed on the car.
In the car, Luther looked at Clark in the rearview mirror and suddenly said amusedly:
"Why don't you just tell him that you only agreed to go to the charity dinner with me just to interview me?"
Louise glanced at the man next to her. Even though he was dressed up beautifully and looked like a dog, in Louise's eyes, his essence was the same as scum.
So her tone was very blunt: "This has nothing to do with you! Lex Luthor."
Luther made a zipper motion to close his mouth, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
As a stylish capitalist, he will not care about a woman.
After the vehicle they were traveling in left, Clark's mood suddenly became clear. Apparently he heard the conversation between the two in the car.
He even felt ashamed that he actually doubted Louise, that he actually questioned the relationship between them.
But Louise's behavior of interviewing Luther alone still made him feel a little worried.
Judging from the Steppenwolf incident and the Doomsday incident not long ago, Lex Luthor is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. He must go and look after Lois.
So Clark put on his blue uniform, broke the sound barrier and flew into the sky.
Dream world.
In the inspired dream controlled by Cortana, Dane receives a rare visitor.
She has brown skin that looks as smooth as satin, her face is delicate, and her figure is graceful and graceful, even compared to the spirit of Khandak or the goddess of the gods.
When you look at Madame Xanadu's face, you can easily think of the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of a Gypsy person. In fact, she is indeed a Gypsy person.
"Madame Xanadu, welcome."
Yes, the beautiful woman in front of you is the immortal descendant of ancient remnants, Madame Xanadu, who is also a master of prophecy.
With Madame Xanadu's qualifications, she should be able to enter the dreamland of inspiration very early.
But I don’t know whether it was her intentional refusal or other reasons, but she didn’t appear here until today.
Madame Xanadu seemed a little confused when she first entered the dream world. When she turned her head and saw Dane, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Dane!"
"Um?"
This has confused Dane. It’s not surprising that Madame Xanadu can recognize his true identity, but is the relationship between them that familiar?
This was the first time that someone called him by name upon meeting him, definitely, except Necromancer.
Madame Xanadu seemed to realize that she had let something slip, and quickly shut her mouth.
It was somewhat different from Dane's imagination. He had thought that Madame Xanadu, who had lived for a long time, would be a very stable person.
But as it stands, her personality is as vibrant as her appearance.
"Madame Xanadu, or Nimue Yinwandu, you should know why I came to you."
Madame Xanadu quickly regained her composure, definitely because of the impression just now, her mature and steady look now Dane only thought she was pretending.
"You can call me 'Nimue", that's what my friends call me.
Yes, I think I know the reason why you are looking for me this time, but please forgive me for being helpless. Because of the chaos of fate, the future scene is no longer unchanged, and I cannot see the full picture of the future clearly. "
Not even Madame Xanadu?
Dane frowned and continued to ask: "Then why did you ask the questioner to come to me? Although I know that the necromancer council tried him back then, I don't know his true disability." 1
"No, I asked the questioner to find you not because you can answer the questioner's question. On the contrary, I hope the questioner can answer your question."
The Riddler again?
Fortunately, Dane is used to it. Predictions about the future are usually not very clear. It's like he remembers all the details like watching a movie. The more important thing is to rely on guessing or reasoning.
Although Dane has opened a God's perspective, the development of many things is still different from the details in his memory. After all, he is making nonsense and is not a real prophet.
Since Madame Xanadu said this, it proves that the questioner is the key to something in the future, and what Dane has to do is to keep him in the Justice League.
No matter what the future event is, as long as the Questioner is in hand, it will never escape Dane's control.
"Let's leave the question as it is for the time being. I don't know if I have the honor. Could you please Nimue to discuss some magic issues with me?"
As an ancient Gypsy, Madame Xanadu should be proficient in many lost ancient witchcrafts. Dane welcomes everyone and wants to learn them.
But Madame Xanadu smiled softly, as if she had expected it:
"I've seen people invite people to drink coffee when we first meet. It's really rare for someone to invite me to study magic together. Mr. Shazam, is this how you treat a woman you meet for the first time?
Dane's expression is a little subtle, this attitude gives people the feeling...
"We can start there if you want. So, Nimue, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"
"Definitely, I know there is a very good coffee shop in New York, maybe we can go there and sit for a while...".
