Chapter 184
Lex didn't know Carl accepted Louise's interview until the next day.
As soon as he reached an agreement with Mycroft and confirmed the cooperation intention between the two parties, he rushed back to the metropolis without stopping.Five hours of time difference, plus the time spent on the road, when he stepped into the office, it was already seven o'clock in the morning of the day.
It was a little later than his usual time to come to the office, but it was still within the plan.
Lex has finished the work that must be done every morning on the plane. Superman seems to be a little excited recently. Compared with the past, the time and frequency of his appearance have increased significantly, and his actions have become more impatient.
And the relationship between him and Wonder Woman, which Superman doesn't hide at all, is unusual.
According to the information he collected, Superman and Wonder Woman had a brief cooperation a long time ago, but perhaps because the location of their cooperation was Gotham, both of them concealed their whereabouts very low-key.
Although this level of concealment does not exist in the eyes of those with a heart, at least it can hide the frightened ordinary people.
There is also the interaction between Superman and mutants. Whether it is before or after exposing his existence, Superman is very vigilant when rescuing persecuted mutants and taking mutants with mutant abilities away from places where ordinary people gather. He will use a speed invisible to ordinary people to conceal his identity.
Even he seldom stays in places where superhumans gather for too long, let alone talk with another superhuman alone for such a long time with such a clear attitude like this time.
Something should have happened to Superman that caused Superman to change.
The specific circumstances are unknown, but Lex has recorded and filed all of Superman's abnormal behaviors. He is very patient in everything related to Superman. Sooner or later, he will find out why Superman has become abnormal.
Then with knowledge of Superman's weaknesses, he was able to break Superman and eventually kill him.
The sky in the metropolis is as blue as washing, without any haze.Today is another good day, and good weather like this always makes people feel good.
Especially when your office is the top floor of the tallest building in the whole city, and your office has three walls that are fully transparent glass, sitting behind the desk, you can see the whole city and the city above When the sky is unobstructed.
Lex used to be dismissive of what he could see.
But when there is Superman in the city sky that no one can ignore, when his stupid red cape flutters over the heads of the Metropolitan people, and people quickly take it for granted, there is always a group of people on the ground who are always Looking up, searching the sky for Superman, Lex realized how precious the empty sky he used to have was.
Just now, the red cloak passed his eyes again.
Must have just saved something again.
No need to look at the various messages sent by those enthusiastic Superman fans on social media, Lex can figure out what Superman just did just by guessing.
Stopping a car accident, helping a child catch a balloon flying through his fingers, or helping a kitten climb a tree but never get down.
——Always like this, pretending to be warm-hearted, everyone needs help in his eyes.
—Who does he think he is?Savior?
Lex stood in front of the window silently, staring at the bustling city coldly.
The city that had betrayed him mercilessly for a uniformed and flying fool, ignoring his efforts and his passion.
He stood for a long time before he calmed down, sat behind his desk, and turned on the computer.
A lot of news related to Carl has been accumulated on the desktop... News related to Carl?Why the news about Carl?What could happen to Carl?
Why didn't he find out the first time?
With such doubts in mind, Lex opened the relevant report of "Planet Daily".
The front page of the homepage is impressively Carl.Ayer's personal interview, the interviewer and the writer of the report are the same person.
Louise.Ryan, one of the best journalists in the world, has interviewed political figures such as the previous president and the Secretary of Defense, and also interviewed Lex.Luther, Tony.A scientist and business mogul like Stark adds another Carl to her list of brilliant interviews.There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Al.
There is nothing wrong with that.
She and Carl spent several hours alone in the Al mansion and had dinner together, which is very common when interviewing people who are special or too high-status.
When Louise interviewed Lex, Lex invited her to his house, and they also had dinner together, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.
Nothing, not a single iota of abnormality.
But Lex felt very unhappy.
At this time, Karl hadn't thought about Lex's mood, although he knew very well that Lex would be very upset when he saw the interview.
As for anything else, like would Lex hack into Louise's cloud to listen to live recordings?How do you feel when you hear something?
He never thought about it.
He was doing his usual Superman work this morning.
First, he stopped a car accident that happened in the next city. The cute twins in the back seat were scared and cried. He tore open the deformed car door and carried them out. Two five or six-year-old girls hugged each other while sobbing. his neck.
Given their age, they should have used a lot of strength, but Karl only felt that their arms were as soft as a dollop of sweet cream.
The little girl is so cute.
The little boy is also cute, but the cuteness of the little boy is completely different from that of the little girl. The little boy is noisy and noisy, and the little girl is tearful and crying, so it is much easier to bully. A boy wants a girl more.
But Connor is still cute.
He has nothing against Connor and is very much looking forward to him joining his family.
I just don't know if Lex will give him (birth) Connor.
In addition to preventing a car accident, Carl also helped a little boy catch a balloon that flew away from his hand. It was a big Mickey Mouse. When it flew away, its owner obviously didn't react, and stared blankly at the balloon with his head up. look straight.
Karl wondered if he hadn't returned the balloon to him, he would have just stared at it all day.
The last job is to help the kitten who can't get down after climbing the tree.This is a newborn kitten who was chased by a husky and rushed up a tree in a panic. A few years ago, Carl also helped his mother—yes, that’s right, Carl remembered every time he saved. cat.
He stroked the kitten's messy fur and sent the kitten to his mother.
When completing these tasks, he flew over the Lex Group several times, and every time he could see the gloomy Lex standing in front of the huge glass and staring into the distance.
Carl knew that Lex must have seen Superman, and would know exactly what Superman had done right away.
You don't even need to look at those live feeds, because Lex is almost as familiar with Superman's work as Superman himself.His eyes follow Superman, he has watched Superman for too long, he knows Superman's trivial, boring daily life consisting of countless ordinary disasters.
Lex never admits it, yet both he and Superman know that there is a bond between them that maintains a delicate balance between them.
And the matter of Lex going to the British Empire also sounded the alarm for Carl, who knew exactly what Lex was planning.
But in a short time, he has no time to worry about this.
Something big happened this month.
Peggy.Carter, the hero of World War II on the surface, the leader of female officers, and the soldier with countless undisclosed feats in secret, has been in a coma for more than five days.
This fighter, who has been issued countless critical illness notices by doctors, but each time he stubbornly opened his eyes when everyone fell into despair, seems to be finally ushering in an irretrievable long sleep.
Tony.Stark was the first to hear the news.
When Jarvis read the message in his steady British accent, he thought it was a nasty joke.
Joking about this kind of thing is no longer a simple bad behavior. Tony himself knew that this could not be a joke, but the information hidden in this message was beyond his imagination, so that When he first heard it, his first reaction was disbelief.
"It can't be," he said, with more than enough certainty in his tone that he couldn't quite tell. "Ms. Carter, she can't..."
He couldn't go on.
In fact, Peggy's time is not long, which is already well known to all insiders, but everyone has avoided this topic.
Death is inevitable, everyone knows it.
But few people will think about and discuss it, as if just thinking about it will make people get goosebumps because of the unknown confusion and fear.
Maybe it's because Peggy has returned from the brink of death time and time again since she was young, maybe it's because she has to maintain her grooming and etiquette even when she is sick to attend the funeral of the Starks, maybe it's because she even endured the tragedy She behaves calmly and gracefully when in pain, perhaps because...
Maybe because she's the kind of person who has absolutely nothing to do with "failure".
And death seems like a failure.
Tony's mind was in a mess, and he walked around the office anxiously, frowning, but the panic only lasted for a while, and he made up his mind within a few minutes.
"Jarvis, I'm going to visit Ms. Carter, cancel all the arrangements on the itinerary, and postpone the ones that can't be cancelled." He said, walking quickly to the garage, "By the way, give Carl—"
"You have a call request from Carl, are you connected, sir?"
