Chapter 47: General Zod
After that ball, Carla and her two secretaries spent only one night in Los Angeles before returning to New York to continue their work and life.
That place didn't suit them very well, but it was a good match for Stark's guy.
And now it's the day after they've returned to New York.
"Miss." When he returned to Hammer Manor in the evening, Old Jack had been waiting for Kara at the door for some time.
Old Jack has been really tired lately, and after Justin called him that day, he has been quietly alone when he returned to the old mansion.
If he hadn't been able to eat normally and go about his daily life normally, Old Jack would have wondered if Justin had any illness.
"Is it normal?" Kara handed the bag to Old Jack and asked casually.
"I think it's best for you to see for yourself." Old Jack didn't know what to say, and when Justin called him, he didn't say anything, just said that he wanted to go home and be quiet.
What Old Jack can do is to ensure that his young master will not starve to death by himself because of something he doesn't know.
"Okay, I see." Kara nodded, and motioned for Old Jack to go down and prepare dinner for tonight.
At this moment, Justin is sitting on the edge of his artificial lake, quietly watching the starry night view reflected on the lake, and the occasional fish swimming in the lake will also make the quiet moon reflection into a folded disposable dinner plate.
"I'm sorry." Kara slowly sat down next to Justin and spoke softly. She didn't care that the clothes she was wearing today were a pure white suit skirt, and she just sat on the grass.
"There's nothing to apologize for." Justin said this quite calmly, without the slightest fluctuation.
"I thought that would make you happy." Kara said softly.
"I was really happy at that time." Justin did not deny that he was excited and happy because of the previous events, "but there is something uncomforting in the back." ”
After all, he was indeed the one who had experienced the best days of his life at that time, and even though the future might be painful, he thought it was worth it.
But when everything gradually appeared in front of him, he found that it was as if those days were just a reflection in the water, and the slightest touch would turn into a ripple.
Disappear from sight.
It's just that he has been doubting himself recently, not because his beautiful days disappeared without a trace like a reflection in the water, but because he was deceived by a commercial spy who had just entered the industry.
This made him deeply suspicious of himself.
Is he really a failure, whether it is as the CEO of the company or as a man with a family inheritance.
"There's still something she hasn't made clear to you." Carla said lightly, "She's not a simple business spy. ”
Hearing his sister's words, Justin suddenly came to a little spirit, could it be that what the woman said before was lying to herself? If you just don't want to be coerced by Kara into falling in love with yourself, then it seems to make sense.
"That..." Justin's eyes also shone again at this moment. At least that woman is not someone who can play herself the first time she enters the industry, so good.
"He used to be a top agent."
"James Bond kind?" Speaking of this kind of thing, the name that came to Justin's mind in an instant was that famous British gentleman agent.
Carla shook her head: "James Bond may be considered a top agent, but compared to Natasha, it may be a little worse." ”
Justin looked at his sister's face, trying to tell from his sister's face that she wasn't lying.
Although he knew that his sister had never lied, at least in the face of his family, he had never done such a thing.
When he finally didn't see anything wrong with Kara's face, he suddenly looked at the night sky.
"Hahaha~" Justin laughed heartily, laughing heartily without any image baggage.
Kara probably knows why Justin is in the mood this way, but it is up to Justin to explain it himself.
She waited quietly for Justin to put an end to his somewhat rampant smile.
"I never imagined that one day I would be the target of such a top agent." Justin said with a smile, and the haze before had completely disappeared in his eyes.
The main thing is that Natasha's words really made Justin a little self-doubting.
It is really not good to say that a boss who has just entered the business spy is confused.
"I'm still sorry." Kara also apologized again for her brother's slow recovery.
Justin waved his hand: "I've actually been self-doubting all the time, no matter what, I've been the boss for a while, even if it's unbearable, I've met many people who fall into the trap so easily?" ”
"No, the reason I apologize is not because of this incident, but because of the agreement I made with Natasha privately." Kara, for her part, shook her head and didn't talk about the previous question.
Justin also didn't understand what Carla was apologizing for.
"If it was the matter of stealing my chairman's position before, I have forgiven you, nothing. As long as Hammer Industries is still with us—" Justin was as he spoke, but was interrupted by Kara again.
"It's not that either."
Justin froze there for a while, he really didn't know what his sister had done, and what had to do with him.
"I've always wanted you to live the kind of life I want you to live, but I forgot to ask you if you'd like to live that kind of life." Kara looked at the bright moon hanging above the night sky and spoke slowly.
"I think you should enjoy everything, just like those things you helped me do when I was a kid, I took your chairmanship, but I didn't think you would react that much."
"Natasha's matter is also what I want you to have a happy life and live with a woman you like."
"But I forgot, you are a living person, not a marionette in my hands. Your life is not up to me to judge how to choose. ”
"That's why I apologize." Carla only looked at Justin at this time.
Justin took a deep breath to calm his mind.
"To be honest, I was really angry when you said that, and I always felt like a pet that you had raised. But I know that all your original intentions are for my good, and I don't know what to say for a while. Justin also let out a long sigh as he said this.
He knew that this was nothing more than a subjective sense of self caused by attaching too much importance to a certain thing, and he didn't care at all what the person who was being valued would think.
Just like the various things that Justin bought for Carla at that time, in fact, a large part of Carla has not been touched, or even unpacked.
But didn't he think he was doing good to Kara at the time?
The so-called concern is chaos, and that's it.
"As for me, accept your apology." Justin slowly stood up from the grass and patted the grass leaves on which he was sitting on the ground.
"It's just that it's better to discuss this kind of thing with me in the future, just like Natasha's case, an agent wife, I'm still a little unblessed." It was as if all the knots in Justin's heart had been opened.
At this moment, I was able to say witticisms to Kara.
Seeing Justin recover Carla, she also smiled slightly, didn't she just want to see her brother live a good and happy life?
"Old Jack should have dinner ready, let's go eat." Justin reached out to Kara, trying to pull her up.
But at this time, the main building, which can be said to be bright in the distance, unexpectedly ran out of lights.
Or that the whole world loses its lights at this moment, except for the other half of the people who live under the sun, the lights of the whole world are extinguished at this moment.
The sound of sizzling began to sound on all the electronic devices that could transmit sound.
"You're not alone."
"You're not alone."
......
I don't know where the news came from, but now everyone can see the TV screen, and even the mobile phone screen, is a white garbled screen.
Mixed with the words they could understand, and the piercing sounds that made the eardrums sinful.
Justin couldn't hear the screeching voice, he was just wondering what caused the power to be cut off in his estate, if he remembered correctly, it seemed that the power supply here should be regularly maintained.
How could this happen?
"Kara, I think I might have a candlelight dinner tonight?" Justin looked back at his sister and spoke to Kara with some half-jokingness.
It's just that Kara he saw was staring at the night sky at the moment, and it seemed to Justin that there was nothing.
"What's wrong?" Justin tries to ask Carla what exactly she sees.
"Stay home and remember! Be sure to stay home! Kara said to Justin with a solemn gaze.
She finally knew what the old man's surprise was for her, or at least she knew part of it.
The old man has put Zod in order, but he doesn't know what state Zod is.
If it was normal for Zod, who had just found Superman, then Kara felt that she could kill every Kryptonite in the moment of contact.
After all, he doesn't have any racial feelings for them, and it is impossible to show mercy to them like Clark.
But, I'm afraid that the old man will do something.
At this moment, a rather distorted portrait pattern appeared on the screen, and the face could not be seen clearly at all, and the only thing that was better than before was the voice, which was no longer so harsh.
"I'm General Zod."
