Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 108 [Hera Above]

Chapter 109 [Hera Above]

As a long-established media outlet in the metropolis, Planet Daily is naturally very powerful.

The coverage spans multiple fields, reaches audiences across various age groups, and boasts numerous outstanding journalists in each sector.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

Jaeger scrolled through the homepage and found the most pleasing to the eye to be the rotating golden sphere atop the Daily Planet building, bearing the words "Daily Planet" in English.

It seems the poison mist misunderstood something, and spoke up, saying, "Langdon, you chose the Daily Planet from the next city instead of the local Gotham Daily, it must be because of Lois Lane, right?"

"Huh?" Jaeger snapped out of his daze. "What?"

Poisonous Fog: "Haven't you been stuck on this screen the whole time?"

Jaeger then noticed that next to the photo of the Daily Planet building that he admired was another photo of a person.

The person in the photo is probably the "Louise Lane" that the poisonous fog was referring to.

A black-haired woman who looks very shrewd and capable, with an outstanding temperament, also has a pair of clear and beautiful blue eyes.

Damn it, is there some kind of underlying logic to this world?

Why does it seem like I meet people with black hair and blue eyes so often?!

I don't remember there being this many black-haired, blue-eyed people in America.

Of course, Jaeger's comment also took a jab at Langdon.

Because Langdon is also one of the many black-haired, blue-eyed people.

Shaking his head, Jaeger realized that the photo was taken to commemorate the Pulitzer Prize.

In other words, Louise Lane, at such a young age, received the highest award in journalism; her talent speaks for itself.

"And she was the first person to interview Superman before," Poison Mist added. "People call her Superman's personal reporter!"

"Superman's personal reporter isn't Clark Kent?" Jaeger was a little surprised.

I thought Clark would use taking photos of me as a way to get personal benefits, but it turns out the number wasn't that many.

Otherwise, how could others have the title of "exclusive reporter"?

Poison Mist, who also knew about Clark Kent's identity, choked for a moment upon hearing this: "Although he does write Superman reports from time to time to fulfill his obligations, he's not as enthusiastic as Reporter Ryan —"

"That's true." Jaeger rested his chin on his hand. "After all, it's like posting selfies to the media every day, which is really weird."

"In short, it's settled then." Jaeger closed the Planet Daily's website. "I'll have to ask you to help me with the acquisition—"

"As payment—" Jaeger suddenly remembered, "Oh right, the French pastry chef Bruce Wayne hired for the dinner shouldn't be back yet?"

"How about I ask him to invite that pastry chef over to make chocolate desserts just for you?"

Upon hearing this, the poisonous mist instantly recalled what it had eaten at Wayne's dinner party the previous night, and was so moved that it transformed from mist into a puddle of alien liquid: "Waaah, Langdon, I knew you were the best—"

"Okay, you're welcome. Just try to control your emotions and don't become a sticky mess clinging to me!!"

To escape the poisonous fog of genuine emotions, Jaeger exited the perspective of [Landon Parrels], took [Puppet Master's Thread] from the card table, and the world instantly became peaceful.

With practice, Jaeger has become increasingly adept at using this card.

Although when controlling Langdon's perspective, Jaeger might be slow to react and appear distracted to others.

If you focus entirely on controlling Langdon's perspective, Jaeger's side will essentially become AFK (away from keyboard).

But it's not a big problem, because you can keep improving your skills through practice.

Another reason is that if the main perspective is focused on Jaeger's side, Langdon's slightly slower reaction isn't really a big deal.

After all, this guy's public persona is that of a taciturn person. As long as he stays in place and doesn't say anything, pretending to be aloof, no one can tell whether his reaction is slow or not.

It couldn't be more perfect for the card "Puppeteer's Threads".

Now that this is settled, all that's left is to wait for news about the poisonous fog.

So Jaeger decided to take a break from fishing before heading to the metropolis.

He logged onto Pingo, thought for a moment, and posted a request for help: "[First time going to the Metropolitan Area next week, any travel suggestions?]"

Location: Metropolitan Area - Send Successfully!

To Jaeger's surprise, before the comments from netizens, the first thing he received was greetings from those who followed him back.

Dr. Leslie advised people to be careful when going out.

Barbara, who had only recently become friends with the detective, wondered if his sudden trip to the neighboring city was a pretense of tourism, but rather a commission from the metropolis.

The last one is Batman, and his questions are even more incisive.

[bat]: Half an hour ago, Parrels Group announced its acquisition of the Daily Planet in the neighboring Metropolis, without any warning.

【bat】：And now, you are suddenly going to the metropolis.

[bat]: I remember you said before that you and Parrels had a close relationship.

【bat】: So what suddenly happened in the metropolis?

Looking at the news about Batman, Jaeger silently wiped his sweat.

This thing is incredibly perceptive.

Fortunately, things are different now. With the Puppet Master's Silk in hand, unless Jaeger reveals his true identity, probably no one outside the card table will know his real identity.

But it's impossible for me to take off my disguise; it's impossible in this lifetime.

So when faced with Batman's question, Jaeger thought for a moment and chose to reply with "Yeah!": "Well, although I know you like to overthink things, I really just went to the Metropolis for tourism this time."

【Yeah】: As for Parrels — I don’t really know why he wanted to acquire the Daily Planet. Maybe he suddenly wanted to spend money. 【Yeah】: After all, rich people always like to spend money for no reason, you know.

【bat】：————

Bruce, on the other side of the screen, wanted to object to this.

But it must be said that Bruce Wayne, in the public eye, is also seen as a wealthy man who likes to spend money inexplicably and recklessly.

Although he did it on purpose, he has absolutely no right to judge Langdon.

While there's no further development regarding Batman, Jaeger's Pingo account suddenly received a private message.

But the person who sent that private message was not one of Jaeger's acquaintances; the ID was completely unfamiliar.

【Hera Above】————Could this be someone I found because of the help request I just posted?
