Chapter 56: A Little Bit of It's Up
Tuk-tuk.
With three dull knocks, the villa awoke from its sleep, and a maid stopped what she was doing and stepped forward to open the wooden door.
"Who are you?"
The man raised his head and smiled confidently, it was Luther, and after many days, he came here again: "Tell your master, you have a visitor." ”
Pushing open the wooden door with both hands, he bypassed the maid and walked into the hall, followed by the bodyguards behind him.
……
"Tell me, come to me early in the morning." Arthur sat down, his back perfectly fitted to the sofa: "You're not going to come here, just to have breakfast." ”
"Depending on your personality, you must have sensed that the world is drifting away from our preconceived notions." Luther's expression was natural.
Arthur said, "It is true, but it only affects me a little. He raised his right forearm, so close to his thumb and forefinger, and figuratively said, "A little." ”
For unknown reasons, a huge creature appeared in the Pacific Ocean, named Kraken by the U.S. government.
It attacked a passing cruise ship, and Captain Atom had gone over to "negotiate".
The Kraken is gone, but emerges a lost civilization, Atlantis.
A civilization that had disappeared for nearly 10,000 years was suddenly exposed to the masses in a form that surpassed human society, causing an uproar.
"More than a little, man." Luther's expression was more serious than ever: "Since that dry wood stick appeared in the sky high in the Met's pajamas, the crime rate in the Met has started to skyrocket. ”
"Do you mean that guy called Superman?" Arthur said slowly, he remembered that the guy seemed to have appeared in the sky over the Metropolis as Superman with Cyborg the day after he had built the fortress.
"Flying, will shoot out the eyes of lasers, blow out cold gases, and have an indestructible defense. Unparalleled power. Luthor had a headache.
"If it weren't for the difference, I would even suspect..."
"Doubt me... Is that right. Arthur chuckled, not surprised by anything like this.
He has never hidden his strength.
The U.S. government has known for a long time.
As one of the largest companies in the world, Luther invaded the military and stole secrets with ease.
The main reason is that the steel skeleton has left the government system, and he can perfectly show the network technology that belongs to the Lex Group.
Luthor calmed down, he had studied the materials stolen from the military, and discovered Arthur's identity as an "alien species".
"Except for the frozen breath that you don't show, you're almost exactly like him."
"What do you want to express." Arthur said lightly, a little dissatisfied, after so much talk, he never got to the point, these damn capitalists.
Net will talk around the bush.
"Compared to a strange alien who has been treated as an experimental subject since childhood." Luthor said, "I trust you more, Arthur. ”
"Don't." Arthur refused: "It's better for you to believe in Superman, believe me, maybe you died unclear that day." ”
Superman in this world doesn't know what mental illness he has, and he doesn't lead an alien army to invade Earth like in the original book.
Instead, he ran to the metropolis and repaid his grievances with virtue...
"Look at me, Arthur." Luther's tone became more solemn: "I'm not kidding you. ”
With both being aliens, he prefers the one he is familiar with.
"Okay, okay." Arthur was casually perfunctory and waved his hand: "What do you want to talk about, if you don't say it, I'm going to drive people out." ”
"I want you to be my bodyguard for a gala." Luthor said solemnly.
Arthur paused and rolled his eyes: "Do you think I need money?" ”
"No, I don't." Luthor was confident in convincing Arthur, "But I think you need to attend the party." ”
Arthur hurried: "I'm not interested in boring parties. ”
The businessman's party is not a child's house, eating and drinking, both openly and secretly, and it is all about interests.
"I hate the party too, but this time it's different." Luthor straightened his back: "The invitation to the characters at this party is something you can never imagine." The queen of Atlantis, and the queen of the Amazons who came out of nowhere. ”
"Two strange lands have suddenly appeared, and we have to get to know them in advance and learn more useful information. It's about whether humans can live in harmony with them. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Arthur narrowed his eyes: "Only them?" ”
Luthor shook his head: "The top of the US government, the superhero Captain Atom." ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "The Metropolis alien will also participate, so, I need you. ”
"You're afraid he's out of control?" Arthur said: "With Captain Atom here, isn't it okay, I believe that with his title of American hero, he will definitely guarantee the safety of your capitalists' lives 100%. ”
"After all, you are the lifeblood of America." He added.
"Please." Luther leaned forward: "Captain Atom is an uncontrollable factor in his own right, God knows if he will suddenly explode like last time." ”
"Last time?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, recalling the ancient information he saw on the Internet, which provoked Luthor's nerves: "What happened a few years ago, you still remember." ”
"......" Luthor was speechless.
The nuclear explosion incident a few years ago shocked all mankind and cannot be forgotten.
"Apart from Captain Atom and Superman, are there any other transhumans who will participate?" Arthur continued to ask.
Luther replied: "The people who can attend the party are either rich or rich, and they know the dangers of the party. It's bound to hire superpowers for protection at a high price, just like I invited you. ”
After thinking about it, Arthur said, "I can participate, provided that you impress me with something?" ”
"Kryptonite." Luthor didn't even think about it.
Arthur laughed, "Luther, don't be impressed for three days." I don't need kryptonite anymore. ”
"......" Luther's heart sank, and he began to think.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally didn't come up with anything enough to impress Arthur.
But he thought of a "perfect" reply: "I don't know what you want from me, I don't know much about you, and I can't guess what you're thinking." ”
"You help me, and I will help you unconditionally. We may not be able to achieve material satisfaction, but spiritually, we will be the most sincere friends. ”
Arthur got up from the sofa and said differently: "When does the party start?" ”
"Tonight." Luthor got up.
"In such a hurry?"
"That's how anxious I am." Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Arthur in the morning.
"Tell me the time, the address." Arthur said flatly.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was the appointed time, and Luthor stood on the top of the tall building, wandering back and forth: "Why hasn't he come yet, damn it, he won't get lost." ”
Arthur was indeed lost.
He searched the city for a long time, but he couldn't find the building that Luthor was talking about, and finally fell out of the sky and took a taxi.
"Hello." Flying from the bottom of the floor to the top of the floor, Arthur looked natural, greeted calmly, and landed beside him.
