Chapter 150
"It's reasonable to guess, sir, Carl and Mr. Luthor have formalized their relationship."
Jarvis's voice maintained the usual elegance and calmness, the calmness of the damned English butler, as if any news of the catastrophe reached their mouths, but it was nothing more than a trivial matter like "today's afternoon tea has been cancelled".
Tony froze.
To be honest, he had a premonition about Carl and Luther being together. After all, Luther's attitude towards Carl can be seen by anyone with eyes. It looks like a little boy who is just in love.
Wait a minute, has Luther been rumored to have an affair with someone?Or did he have any public relationships?
"Jarvis, search the list of Luthor's contacts."
Almost immediately after he gave this order, Jarvis gave Tony the hard numbers.
As Tony expected, Luthor had zero contacts.
Then the little prince is indeed Luther's first love, and Luther is indeed a young boy who has just begun to love.
Knowing this news didn't make Tony feel much better, but he still reduced some of his prejudice against Luther. At least that guy Luther shouldn't be coaxing the little prince to play.
Alright, alright, Tony knew from the very beginning that Luther was not coaxing the little prince to play. His actions of spending a lot of money and his generous gifts are simply impossible for people who don’t care. .
Tony has a lot of opinions on Luther, but he also knows that disturbing other people's love is definitely not something a good friend would do.
But he felt awkward, even if the two of them had already started to radiate the aura of love to the outside world before they were together, Tony felt weird when he thought that they were really together.
After thinking about it for a long time, Tony finally figured out what was wrong with him: Luther is not a good guy at all!
Although he was so nice to the little prince, and the arrowhead was so thick that both Louise and the Wayne boys would silently avoid them at the banquet, Tony reckoned that Karl himself might still be in the fog.
But it's not sure, Tony thinks there is another possibility, that is, Karl's mind is clear, but he just holds back and doesn't say anything.
Everyone was deceived by Karl's gentle and amiable appearance. Only a person like him who has known Karl for several years can see that Karl is an out-and-out bad guy from Karl's little tricks.
Among other things, every time he quarreled with that old guy Howard, Karl could see the color better than anyone else, slipped faster than anyone else, and would always emerge from the corner afterwards as if nothing had happened.
He also had a way of calming him and Howard after they had irritated them, a way of calming them down when they were on the verge of tearing their faces apart, and a way of throwing a tantrum when he failed an experiment. Encourage him to cheer up.
Tony was sure why he knew that Carl and Luther were together - he repeated in his mind that it was possible, but he knew that Jarvis's speculation was almost infallible, just because Jarvis was emotionally I'm not good at it, so I use words full of uncertainty——I'm in such a bad mood afterwards.
Because Carl is so good.
Luther was a mess.
What is wrong with this world?Why do innocent girls always fall for dudes and good guys always fall for jerks?
Carl, who walked into the office with Lex in his arms, saw Tony sitting on the bench facing the door with a stinking face.
"Don't tell me you came all the way to come out to me," Tony said.
"No! Of course not," Carl said. "I remember I talked to you about this topic a long time ago, technically I told you then."
"Thank you, I didn't need you to remind me. I just recalled that passage more than a dozen times, and I can barely remember some important points. There is no need to play the recording for me." Tony mocked, "So what's your situation?"
"Oh." Carl gave a shy smile, his face flushed, but his eyes lit up. "Me and Lexi—just like you can see. We are really together."
"Long time no see, Mr. Stark." Lex opened his mouth at the right time, squeezing out a polite smile.
He and Tony are completely disgusted with each other. Unlike Tony's mood of "I don't like you, but I don't really like you particularly", he is completely bored with Tony.
And perhaps some haughty contempt.
Please forgive me, but Lex didn't mean to target anyone, he sees everyone with this attitude, the only difference is that most people can't see him at all, and in his heart, they are probably no different from dust and dirt, And very few people can be seen in his eyes.
"Hey! I'm sorry I just saw you now, Mr. Luthor." Tony pulled out a smirk, "It would be too strange to call me Mr. Stark, since you are the little prince's boyfriend, call me Mr. I'm Tony. You don't mind if I call you Lex, do you? Lexi is Carl's exclusive name for you, so I won't use it."
Evil, Lexie.
Inwardly, Tony made a puke face.
Lex's perfect smile was still on his face, and he was very tolerant in the face of Tony's childish provocation: "Okay, Tony."
Carl, who stood quietly aside during their conversation and pretended to be an ornament, laughed and cut in just right.
"Lexie, I think you should be willing to visit Tony's laboratory. You're welcome, there is no confidential information in this laboratory, just keep an eye on it. I have something to discuss with Tony." He first said this to Lex, Then he turned his gaze to Tony, and cut off Tony's dying struggle, "Pep has already told me about you, Tony, I am very disappointed and sad. We must have a good talk."
Lex shook Carl's finger and stepped back silently.
He didn't intend to get involved in Carl's conversation with Tony.
Little Stark is not likable, but in all fairness, the common phenomenon among "power holders" of their level is that everyone's moral bottom line is far below the average, and when it comes to morality, Little Stark is completely Can be called the leader of this group.
Not only little Stark, but all of Carl's friends are people of fairly high moral standards.
The president of Wayne Group, nicknamed by everyone as the brothers of the Ayer Group, Bruce.Wayne, an idle playboy during the day, turns into Batman at night to fight crime in Gotham City. His behavior is very stupid, but his character is unquestionable, very "noble".
Splendor and darkness co-exist, nobility and decay coexist.
And Louise.Ryan, the most famous female reporter in the world, and the daughter of Admiral Ryan, was unilaterally severed by his father because of his different ideas. According to Lex's investigation, the differences between the father and daughter continued to increase. Louise admired him very much, especially the "Superman" who appeared some time ago, but his father wanted to catch "that freak".
She had a big fight with Admiral Ryan just before going to Afghanistan for an interview. reporter.
In addition, people who have a good relationship with Karl but he can't find out the news are Rao and Professor X. Lex has heard about Professor X, and he and his old friend Magneto. I also know a thing or two about the past.
Regardless of Magneto, Professor X and the X-Men under his leadership are very typical "good guys".
This shows Carl's personality tendency. Lex knows that his Carl is not in the bad guy camp, which also affects his style of doing things to a certain extent. For example, when trying to deal with Superman, he will be more inclined to use some More... and Lex.Luther can't match the tricks of the upper hand.
And when Carl decides to have a private conversation with his best friend (which always pissed him off), he steps aside obediently.
"What's going on with you in Afghanistan?" Carl asked first, his eyes turned around Tony, and then fixed on the device emitting blue light on Tony's chest, "What is this?"
"I met the rebels over there during the military exercise. They kidnapped me and asked me to make weapons for them. I suffered a small injury during the military exercise. The fragments of the bullet were stuck there and could not come out. This energy reactor prevents the fragments from flowing along the blood. It goes into the heart, and it can also power my weapon." Tony explained the experience of the past few days clearly, but it was still vague.
He was still trying to get the topic out of the way, "During the time I was kidnapped, I was not idle. I made a brand new weapon. You must have never seen it before, Karl. It is an evolved version of exoskeleton armor..."
Carl just stared at him.
Tony insisted on introducing the new weapon to Carl at first, but his voice became smaller as he spoke, and finally disappeared altogether.
"What do you want me to say? Is this my fault?" He was also a little angry, "Listen, little prince, I know you are worried about me, but what can I do? I couldn't get in touch with anyone at that time , there are only me, Ethan and Louise, we are locked in a cave, and outside the cave are heavily armed rebels, the only thing we can do is try our best to escape..."
"I know you're right. I'm sorry, I was so angry for no reason." Carl said, reaching out his hand, ignoring Tony's awkward expression, and hugging him hard, "I'm not really angry with you. I'm angry I can't help you."
Tony, who was suddenly hugged, took half a beat to react.
He hesitated and put his hand on Karl's back: "It's okay, little prince, the situation is critical at that time, and you can't do anything."
"I can."
"you can not."
"I really can."
"You really can't."
"I'm not kidding, Tony, I could, so I'm sorry I didn't do anything."
"Listen, little prince, you can't! You can't save everyone you want to save!" Tony became impatient and blurted out without thinking, "You can't save the innocent civilians in Afghanistan, and you can't save those who are suffering from the war. Dead orphans, you can't save famine and drought, you can't save those brainwashed terrorists, you can't even save your parents, and you can't save my parents!"
"...oh," Carl said.
He let go of Tony and stared at him blankly.
Tony thinks that the usual heartless and bright Carl looks the most pleasing to the eye, because some people are really not suitable for sad looks.
"Hey, little prince." Tony whispered, he looked at Carl with some unease, "I..."
"I really can't save my parents." Carl said.
He was silent for a moment, and he could have expressed his sadness in a thousand ways.
But facing this fact at the moment, he only felt that his interest was languishing.
He was as pale as a pencil drawing.
However, his eyes were still shining: "But I saved your parents."
