"Kent, the Metropolitan Library's charity event is the one that the Lex Group is organizing," the editor-in-chief of the Planet Daily called Clark, "and someone asked Clark Kent to cover it." ”

Clark wondered, "Why are you looking for me to be an intern reporter?" I'm not even a full-time employee......"

"Who knows, maybe some old woman who does charity likes nerds like you......"

The editor-in-chief shrugged and left, leaving Clark alone and squinting.

That night, the Metropolitan Library's charity party was in full swing.

The modern stone walls of the library are illuminated by the lights, adding a calm and elegant atmosphere.

Starry lights twinkle on people's faces, making the evening shine like a starry night sky.

As soon as Clark entered the front room, a faint scent of ink and paper greeted him, as if he was in a city of knowledge.

The hall is illuminated by quaint chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and portraits and inscriptions of famous people from all ages hang on the walls, bearing witness to the history and glory of the library.

Here, every subtle corner flows with a luxurious atmosphere, and the atmosphere is elegant and warm. Celebrities, dressed in fancy costumes, gracefully weave through the crowd and talk about topics of interest.

They gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, and from time to time they raised the champagne in their hands and toasted each other.

However, with the arrival of a luxury car, reporters immediately rushed over to take pictures, as if the visitor was the protagonist of this charity dinner!

Clark looked over curiously, only to see a personable playboy walking out of the luxury car, and for some reason his face always made Clark feel a little familiar.

"Who's that? Such a big show? ”

He casually asked one of his peers, who looked back at him with even more amazement.

"It seems that you are visiting this 'why not minced' area for the first time, and you don't care about the news of high society...... That's a big celebrity, Bruce Wayne of the Wayne family in Gotham City. ”

"Wayne!?"

Clark was taken aback, and then it dawned on him, no wonder it looked familiar.

"Have you heard of Gory Wayne? What is the relationship between him and Bruce Wayne? ”

Speaking of which, Clark didn't realize until now that he didn't know much about Gori, because he was always in the perspective of a helped junior, and only felt that Gori seemed to be full of mystery and omnipotence.

And when Gori was in the metropolis and Gotham City, even his appearance was changed by his magic.

"Gory Wayne......" the colleague recalled, "Ah, it seems to be a little impression, it's the second son of the Wayne Group who broke out a few years ago, right?" It's just that it's too low-key, and it can be called obscure. ”

Clark was stunned, Mr. Wayne, is that still low-key?

Okay, I can only say that Mr. Wayne does big things and good deeds without leaving a name, and hides his merit and fame.

"I wonder if Mr. Wayne will come over?" Clark couldn't help but think.

Of course, the answer is no, as the CEO of Feidian Group, Gao Li is extremely unpopular with Lex, and even sending an invitation letter is likely to be ignored by Levis, and Lex will not humiliate himself and be bored.

As for Bruce Wayne's younger brother Gory Wayne, he was looked down upon by Lex because he was too "ordinary", and it was enough to invite Bruce Wayne.

With the entrance of everyone, the charity gala officially began.

The soft lighting of the mesmerizing hall and the beautiful waltz music wafted through the air, filling the evening with elegance and fantasy.

In a glamorous atmosphere, celebrities, philanthropists, and political and business celebrities wore gorgeous gowns, and the smell of dense champagne wafted by, surrounding everyone's chatter and laughter.

Bronze and amber decorations adorn the nooks and crannies of the library, huge glass hanging chandeliers cast a warm yellow glow, elegant waiters weave through the crowd, and trays filled with delicious snacks and delicate beverages to serve guests.

In the center of the hall, the host wore a luxurious red dress, like a gorgeous flower blooming in the silent night, making an opening speech for everyone.

“…… He is a philanthropist, a bibliophile, a true friend of the Metropolitan Library, and Mr. Lex Luthor is invited! ”

"Me? All right! ”

Lex raised his hands and stepped onto the stage under the gaze of everyone.

"I'm a little embarrassed...... Speeches, speeches, say something, say something, uh, drinks are free, the speech is over. ”

After Lex took the stage, he said something unrelated like an audition, and then began his formal speech.

"The word philanthropist, derived from the Greek word meaning a lover of humanity, was born about 2,500 years ago......"

Everyone was paying attention to Lex's speech, but a few were visibly absent-minded.

For example, Bruce, some time ago, by tracking down the mercenary leaders who had haunted the village of Nemiro, he found out about the Lex group that hired them, so he was invited to the party tonight.

In fact, Bruce wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the Lex Group, and while everyone's attention was attracted away, Bruce began to secretly contact Alfred, who was responsible for supporting the back, through the headset.

"Alright, where am I going, Alfred?"

Alfred sat in front of a pile of high-tech equipment, looking carefully at the scans of the structure displayed on the screen device.

"Go past the elevator and turn left...... Surely it was right, in the service corridor in the basement, now downstairs. ”

Originally, the voice that could only be heard by Bruce alone in the headset naturally couldn't hide Clark's super hearing.

Well? What does Mr. Wayne's brother want to do?

And why is it so secretive, can it be said......

Clark didn't think that Bruce was here to investigate the trade secrets of the Lex Group, and even if there was a commercial espionage, he had never heard of a major shareholder who personally went down to be a spy.

"Bruce Wayne......?"

Similarly, there was another beautiful woman present who looked both heroic and classical, and also looked in the direction of Bruce with a little doubt.

Diana Prince - As the daughter of the god-king Zeus, the princess of the Amazon, and the first superhero "Wonder Woman" to make her debut in World War I, she can undoubtedly hear the contents of the headset with her hearing.

"Between gods and men, Prometheus chose us," Lex still spoke passionately, "and he was struck by lightning for sabotaging Zeus's plan to destroy humanity." ”

"Boom!" Lex danced and demonstrated, "Seems very unfair, well, haha, to get down to business, the Metropolitan Library ......"

It was obviously something that Diana didn't like to hear, and she began to focus more on Bruce.

"I went to the stairs, I saw it when I came in, and I went downstairs...... Oh, Master Wright, are you back, I'm busy, you go and play with Master Dick first. ”

"What? Would you like to eat cookies? Then there's no way, let Master Bruce wait for a while, I'll do it for you and then come over as a logistics ......"

"Alfred!" Bruce said helplessly, "I'm doing business!" Gao Li has said many times that you can't spoil Xiaoguang too much......"

"Haha, just kidding, Master Goli has no sense of humor enough, and Master Bruce is even worse than him...... Master Wright, I'll order the kitchen to prepare it for you. ”

"Hmm...... You're right, they don't make as good as I do, but I can only bear with you, I think Master Bruce can do it in about ten minutes if he is fast, right? ”

Clark eavesdropped on him, he was so quick to involve Mr. Wayne and Xiaoguang, it seems that they are now back in Gotham.

During the time when he was working with Gori in research and development, Clark also got along with Xiaoguang, and he liked this innocent child like a small animal, especially after seeing many human ugliness.

Diana didn't react when she heard it, whether it was Gao Li or Xiaoguang, she didn't know any of them just by name.

Bruce strolled all the way downstairs, past the kitchen where the banquet was prepared.

"Okay, you're on the right is the kitchen, and to the left, where you're going is right in front of you."

Bruce was stealing data with his device, and Clark didn't move a single step, his perspective and hearing were enough for him to see Bruce's side even if he stood still.

Seeing a seven-minute countdown on the device, Bruce went upstairs to socialize again, and Clark immediately went over to stop him.

"Mr. Wayne! Mr. Wayne ......" Clark shook Bruce's hand, "I'm Clark Kent, from the Planet Daily. ”

"My foundation has issued a statement in support of the book charity, remember that the report has nothing to do with the Lex Group, otherwise my brother would be unhappy."

After a casual sentence or two, Bruce was ready to leave, but Clark stopped him with a word.

"What is your stance on the Bat Vigilantes in Gotham?"

This is actually a temptation on the part of Clark, who is not completely sure that Bruce is Batman, but he has this speculation, and he doesn't want to bother asking Gorry about it.

Sure enough, under Clark's comprehensive monitoring of breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, etc., Bruce all fluctuated sharply.

The Planet Daily ...... Wait, is this my family's? Or is it that who's? ”

Clark said without being arrogant: "As far as I know, the Star Daily does not have a stake in the Wayne Group. ”

- But there is an injection of capital from the Feidian Group, and from this point of view, it may also be your family in a sense.

Clark silently added in his heart that it was because he knew that Gorry had injected money into the "Planet Daily" that Clark went to the "Planet Daily" to apply for an intern reporter.

He believes that the "Planet Daily", which is controlled by Gao Li, will definitely be more disciplined and dare to tell the truth than the media controlled by other capital.

"I've seen a lot of reports about him...... Civil liberties are trampled on in your city, and good people live in fear, don't you have any ideas? ”

Bruce said coldly, "Don't believe everything, kid. ”

"No, that's what I saw with my own eyes, Mr. Wayne."

Clark immediately replied that with his super eyesight, he had indeed seen a lot of things that happened in Gotham remotely.

"He thinks he's above the law, doesn't he?"

"Oh, then you haven't seen another Gotham vigilante," Bruce raised an eyebrow, "and don't you think it's a bit hypocritical for the Daily Planet to criticize those who think they are above the law?" ”

"After all, every time your Metropolitan hero saves a cat from a tree, you write a flattering editorial about an alien who can destroy the entire Earth if he wants to......"

Bruce wanted to continue, "And we can't stop him", but thinking that Fangs should be fine, he said so for now.

"Another Gotham vigilante, you mean Fangs? If I'm not mistaken, Fangs haven't been active in Gotham City for a long time, but the Bat Vigilantes are still haunting every night. ”

"As for your remarks about aliens, I'm afraid most people don't agree with you, Mr. Wayne."

Bruce didn't continue, because he remembered that Gouri didn't approve of his idea either, and he couldn't help but be a little distraught.

Fortunately, Lex came over at this time to play the round and slapped his palm vigorously.

"Guys! Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent met, and it was great, I just like to bring people together. ”

"I don't think so," Bruce didn't give him the slightest face, "why didn't you see you gather the high fortunes of the Feidian Group here?" ”

"Wow, the words are really sharp."

Lex wasn't embarrassed at all—at least on the surface, talking to himself.

"You should really come to the harbor more often, I want to show you my lab, maybe we can work together on a project, my R&D department has a lot of ideas."

"It's been seven minutes, it looks like the transmission has been completed, and I'm going to bake cookies for Master Wright and Master Dick."

Hearing Alfred's report, Bruce didn't bother to talk nonsense with Lex any more, and left with a few perfunctory words.

Clark tried to keep up with him, but a passing TV began to broadcast a factory fire in Juarez City, and he went into the bathroom to change into his suit and flew out.

And Bruce's side was also not going well, and when he passed, he was surprised to find that the equipment was gone!

"Hell ......"

Bruce immediately recalled that when he went downstairs, he had passed by a big beautiful woman and gave her a meaningful look.

"It's her!"

Bruce immediately chased after him, but could only see the back of Diana getting into the car and leaving.

Alfred, who hadn't had time to bake the cookies, was stunned, and it was very rare that Bruce would miss.

"I think it seems to prove that you are not good at it, and when you are old enough to retire, and then marry a beautiful woman and come home......"

"You dream, Alfred." Bruce didn't have a good airway.

Alfred said solemnly: "I don't have time to dream, because I have to inform Master Goli to help you deal with the aftermath." ”
