Chapter 112 Louise, known in the underworld as Reporter Hero

Chapter 113 Louise, known in the underworld as Reporter Hero

(P.S.: It seems there are more people who want the comics, so I've already posted a giveaway thread in the book review section. Feel free to leave a comment to participate!)

After his colleagues enthusiastically explained the situation, Clark finally understood what Langdon's so-called "socially anxious chairman" was all about.

As the chairman of the Parrels Corporation in neighboring Gotham City, standing between Parrels Industries and Pi, which spearheaded the social media boom...

The people behind NGO —

Langdon Parrells already receives a lot of attention from all sides and all walks of life.

But unfortunately, this guy is socially awkward.

He has an extreme aversion to social anxiety, and it's said he wouldn't speak more than a hundred sentences a month. Even the most sociable person would feel stifled by him due to a lack of conversation.

His personality is quite peculiar among a group of wealthy men who are either entrepreneurs or inheritors of family businesses, but who are all eloquent and persuasive.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his personality, which is so different from that of other wealthy people, that there are so many rumors about him.

Even those working in the metropolitan area have heard of this socially anxious person's reputation.

Upon hearing this, Clark thought: "————"

In any case, Langdon must have done something wrong to end up like this.

We fought side by side five years ago, so we can be considered friends.

Moreover, the other party is probably the only person in the world besides the Kents who knows his true identity.

Unless the other party has never heard of Superman in the past five years, or has never associated his revealed abilities with Superman.

But given Langdon's intelligence, unless his brain was suddenly eaten by a zombie, it's unlikely he wouldn't realize Clark is Superman.

But so far nothing has happened that has revealed his secret identity, so Clark still trusts Langdon quite a bit.

Furthermore, as a journalist, Clark inevitably possessed a certain determination to uncover the truth.

Upon seeing "The Mystery of Langdon Parrells's Dramatic Personality Change," Clark's inner curiosity was instantly ignited, and he resolved to find out the truth.

So he thought for a moment and asked Jimmy next to him, "By the way, Jimmy, do you know what Langdon Parrel's itinerary is after he acquired the Daily Planet? Is he going back to Gotham, or staying in Metropolis for a few days?"

"Hmm? I actually know that."

Jimmy wiped his nose. Despite being exploited by his devilish editor-in-chief these past few days, he remained steadfast in gossiping in the office. He proudly puffed out his chest: "Landon Parrels will probably stay at the Metropolitan for a while longer, maybe about a week."

"If you're looking to catch up with him—" Jimmy slammed his fist down, "Oh right! I almost forgot, tonight's the Escalius Awards ceremony, most of the Daily Planet staff will be there!"

"Landon Parrels' name was also on the dinner guest list, as he recently acquired the Daily Planet and the organizers invited him as well."

"So, why don't you try your luck at the banquet tonight? See if that socially awkward chairman will attend."

Upon hearing Jimmy's enthusiastic reply, Clark thoughtfully adjusted his glasses.

The Escalliber Award is a journalism award established to recognize outstanding individuals in the field.

If Langdon does attend, this occasion would certainly make it convenient for him to approach Langdon and have a talk.

Unlike Clark, who was deep in thought, Jaeger was in a relaxed mood.

It must be said that Metropolis is indeed a completely different city from Gotham.

Even though these two cities are actually only separated by a bridge, and geographically they are not that different at all —

But upon entering this city, one can see numerous high-rise buildings under a clear blue sky, surrounding the city...

The countless elevated overpasses winding between the buildings, and the brilliant sunlight pouring down.

Well, no wonder people call the metropolis a land of hope —

Everywhere is golden and warm, it's hard not to feel hopeful.

It's probably not very friendly to people who don't want to get a tan.

Thinking differently, starting a sunscreen business in a metropolis might be an easy way to make a fortune.

But in any case, if one were to describe Jaeger's impressions of arriving in the metropolis, it would probably be something like this ↓

Arriving in the sunniest place in America, Metropolis!

So beautiful, the Metropolitan City!

Oh my god, isn't that Superman? (I saw a city promotional photo with a picture of Superman on it.)

Let's take a look at the Planet Daily from afar, everyone.

Overall, the trip to the metropolis has been quite relaxing and enjoyable so far.

What was actually more enjoyable was seeing Clark Kent in the Daily Planet, looking hesitant and with a complex expression.

Jaeger guessed what Clark was thinking in a second.

But he didn't intend to reveal the reason, and deliberately went over and said "Long time no see".

He successfully received increasingly suspicious looks from the other person, as if they were possessed by something strange.

Unfortunately, Morgan Edge, the former owner of the Daily Planet, was waiting for him outside, so Jaeger could only leave with regret.

Then, guided by the toxic mist within his mind, he blankly answered a series of social or cooperative questions with "um" or "oh."

Although it may sound impolite at first glance, Jaeger remained sincere and earnest throughout.

The effect was outstanding. In any case, Morgan Edge, the guy on the other side, although his expression twisted from time to time, did not say anything to Jaeger in the end.

Morgan Edge really couldn't say anything about Langdon.

After all, the other party is a partner, and a very useful one at that.

Moreover, the other party wasn't deliberately giving him a hard time. On the contrary, they looked at him earnestly the whole time with a gaze that Morgan found inexplicably intense, and they would nod from time to time, which showed that their attitude was still very friendly and sincere.

He just talks less; I say eight hundred words and he only replies with an "um."

Considering that the other person is a well-known socially awkward person from neighboring Gotham City, perhaps what he just said to me was actually quite a lot.

Morgan forced a polite smile and thought to himself.

However, even as Morgan tried to convince himself, the conversation increasingly stalled within the invisible, radiating silence of Langdon's aura.

Fortunately, at that moment, Morgan suddenly spotted a familiar figure passing by them.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out his hand—

Then he grabbed the woman who was walking by quickly: "Hey, wait—isn't this our famous reporter Louise?"

Without further ado, having finally found a second victim of the socially savage Langdon, Morgan quickly pushed Louise in front of Langdon and began the introductions: "Parells, let me introduce you. This is a key member of the Daily Planet, a recipient of numerous journalism awards, and even Pulitzer Prize's top political reporter—"
