Chapter 424: From Meiman to Meiyu, I got the wrong script
"Godfather, that one named Clark...... Guy, he has a problem! ”
Lex, who had returned to the mansion, sat by the fireplace and said to Luke, who was lying on the couch, lazy, without the majesty of his elders.
Although the two had only met once, they did not even exchange contact information.
But he was impressed with Clark and was full of ...... Favor.
Ahem, you can't say that.
To be precise, it should be curious.
"What did you find out about it, Detective Luther?"
Luke was thinking about how to explain his identity to his little cousin, when his train of thought was interrupted by Lex, and he asked with a smile.
He vaguely felt that the current script seemed to have been read somewhere.
Clarke, a small-town boy, Lana, his first girlfriend, plus Lex Luthor, who appeared early...... Inexplicably, it creates a sense of familiarity.
"I'm sure the Porsche hit Clark, but — he wasn't hurt! And saved me from underwater! ”
Lex shook his hair and said suspiciously.
"That's a Porsche! Knocked the bridge down! ”
At this time, he still does not have the sign of a strong man, so he lacks the buff bonus of "extremely smart".
Sora has a keen sense of observation, but he can't capture the trajectory of the truth.
Changing to the bald Lex, I'm afraid that I can immediately detect that something is wrong.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Luke naturally knew the reason, but didn't pick it out.
"Do you want to kill an innocent passerby for driving at high speed and then go to jail — although not necessarily, with the help of the Lex Group's team of lawyers, you may only be considered mentally ill, acquitted, and sent to a well-equipped nursing home for a few months or so."
"Either way, it's going to be a visible stain on your life history."
"You know, your dad still thinks the Luthor family can have a president."
Luke joked with a smile that he remembered Lex Luthor in a certain timeline who seemed to have actually been president.
It is said that the other party's mantra is "no one knows superman better than me", loves to play the accordion, and talks about the fate of all mankind at every turn......
Wait, something seems wrong?
Suddenly, he confronted a blonde commander.
“…… President. ”
Lex fell silent for a moment.
He, like Clark, is in some kind of rebellious period.
He dismisses his father's teachings and is confident in his own abilities.
While longing for freedom, he hates external constraints.
To sum it simply, it is Form 2.
"He always likes to plan my future, but he never asks me what I think."
Lex snorted, seriously dissatisfied with his father's paternalistic style of power.
In contrast, the young godfather in front of him was much more tolerant.
This is one of the reasons why Lex respects each other from the bottom of his heart.
"If you want to show what you can and prove yourself, you have to make a little achievement."
Luke smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the light of the fireplace reflected the face half-brightly and half-darkly.
"When others see you, they no longer call you 'Lionel Luthor's son', but Lex Luthor, so that you can successfully get rid of your father's shadow and exist as an independent individual."
Lex was thoughtful, he did have this thought.
Coming to this town is not only for vacation, but also to start with those abandoned factories.
Seventeen years ago, the meteorite rain ruined many people's lives, and even destroyed the town's industrial development.
This is a good opportunity to bounce back and create new glories.
"Godfather, what do you think I should do?"
Lex humbly asks for advice.
Sitting in front of him was the most famous young upstart in the metropolis, a genius investor who even his father was very convinced.
To use a word often mentioned in the outside media, it is "a person who foresees the future".
"Agriculture and manufacturing are the backbone of Kansas' economy, and there are many farms and ranches in the town, but there is a lack of related industries, such as food processing, meat processing and other manufacturing plants."
Luke pursed his lips and said casually.
"Take those abandoned factories, reopen them, and run them."
"When the time comes, it will not only provide enough jobs for the town, win the praise of the municipal government, and select an honorary title such as 'Top Ten Outstanding Youths', but also use the real industry to radiate to a deeper and broader field."
Lex's eyes lit up, he used to be more involved in the financial securities market, and he didn't understand this experience well enough.
"Do you have any ideas about the godfather? We can work together! ”
Young people's brains turn quickly, and their father will definitely not allow them to "do anything wrong", but it is different to pull in the godfather and borrow the other party's name.
"I don't like to touch money, and I'm not interested in it, Lex."
Luke waved his hand and smiled slightly, "My happiest days were when I lived in the basement of the Metropolitan and made $91 a month. ”
“……”
Lex was speechless, he was used to the strange words that popped out of his godfather's mouth.
For example, "set a small goal this year and earn 100 million", "making money is just a passing thing, and the happiness that money brings me is not even five percent", "I am face blind and can't tell whether those Hollywood female stars are beautiful or not" and so on.
"Godfather, you're only here for a vacation?"
Lex still didn't give up, he didn't think that a big man like Luke, who had precious time, would go to this backward, conservative town to relax.
"I'm here to investigate and collect meteorites."
Luke shrugged his shoulders and whispered.
"As you may know, this town used to be called the 'Cream Corn Capital' until the meteorite rain that shook Kansas, and now it has been renamed 'Meteorite Land', all to increase its fame and attract tourists."
He has already assembled a team of archaeologists who will soon be exploring various parts of the town to collect the fragments of meteorites.
Come to think of it, Clark was really unlucky.
As a Kryptonian, he actually lives in a small town full of Kryptonite.
"I never knew that Godfather you were interested in archaeology and meteorites."
Lex was a little surprised, although it seemed to the outside world that Luke did have some strange hobbies.
For example, philatelic Hollywood female stars.
There are targets like Jodie Foster, Sharon Stone, and Demi Moore who have been popular.
There are also Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, etc. who are not famous.
The most surprising thing is that he also has a special hobby of investing in movies and making cameos.
"It's normal that hobbies can be expanded appropriately."
Luke smiled, he could explain why he suddenly played the American comic set into a Hollywood playboy script.
First of all, because before the little cousin came to Earth, life was boring and not much fun.
As we all know, the DC Universe is built around Superman, changing, and Clark Kent is the top priority - although he always loses to the screenwriter's dad - I always have a plan - Batman, but that doesn't hinder the status of the little cousin.
Otherwise, Dr. Manhattan would not have been particularly interested, and conducted an unprecedented observational experiment.
A world without Superman means no superheroes and no supervillains.
So, in order to pass the time, Luke can only develop his personal interest out of his hobby of film art.
And he is also very principled, and he is an overnight joy with every female star.
Even if a few of them admired their skills, Luke didn't hold back.
Therefore, it also left a resounding name in Hollywood circles as a "hearted arsonist".
"Alright, Lex, that's all for dinner."
Luke stopped talking and got up.
He guessed that Clark, who went back, would continue to ask his adoptive father Jonathan about his doubts about his identity because of this car accident.
At that time, it should be the opportunity for Krypton's big cousin to make a shining appearance.
"My stupid little cousin, it's time to get down to business."
Luke thought with a smile.
