The Knights of the DC House

In the office of the president of Metropolis Lex Enterprise Group, after Lex told Savage the reason for his visit, Savage also saw Lex's pupils shrink through the reflection of the glass. He knew that he was not here this time.

Wrong, and Lex just drank all the wine in the glass, put the glass on the table, then turned his head, looked at Vandal Savage, and asked.

"Is it important how I went to Apokolips and how I came back from Apokolips? Savage."

"If it were in the past, when the Illuminati was still confronting the Justice League, well, it wouldn't matter. I would only be surprised that my allies also had ways to contact Darkseid. But you also know that today is different from the past. We, the Illuminati,

The idea of ​​the Association is that the Earth should be controlled and led by the Earthlings themselves. In this regard, we are different from the Justice League, but things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that Superman could really give up everything he is a Superman and live as an ordinary person?

.

So, if the Justice League can make concessions for our ideals, why can’t the Illuminati make concessions of their own? Especially in the month when this new era is about to begin, I don’t want any problems to arise. So the questions that were buried in my heart before are also

It's time for you to answer for me, right? Lex. You don't want to see a future that is advanced by the people on earth die midway and return to the era of superhero supremacy."

Savage's words were very true, and there was no intention to hide anything. Lex also looked at Savage standing in front of him, and was silent for a long time before asking: "What makes you think that I am with Apokolips?"

There is a connection, Savage, because of the Darkseid Godhead War?"

"No, earlier. If you really want to say that, from the time you joined the Illuminati, I have had doubts about your purpose of joining."

"oh?"

After Savage made such a guess, Lex also became interested. This immortal who has lived for 50,000 years has been active in the history of human development in various capacities. He was also curious about what Savage was based on.

Have doubts about yourself.

Sitting there, filling himself up with a glass of wine, Lex returned to his previous calm demeanor, waiting for Savage to speak. At this time, Savage also gave himself a sip of wine, and then spoke.

The reason why I doubt Lex.

"Do you remember when we were members of the Illuminati?"

"Of course, you, me, the Ninja Master, Gorilla Grodd, the Queen Bee of Villaria, and the Chaos Demon Witch Boy." Lex also replied.

"Yes, just these people, I chose you to form the Illuminati because everyone here has conflicts with the members of the Justice League. It is best to choose you to join because everyone has a common purpose. The premise is

You have to obey orders and do things. I can let anyone go here, except you, Lex Luthor. You acted too obediently and that’s why I doubted you."

"Huh? If you say that, I'm interested. Tell me, why do I follow orders and become the source of your doubts?"

"Because I will create a file for everyone in the Illuminati to analyze your character. The Ninja Master, an old lunatic who thinks he has seen through the world, just wants to build an ideal world, even if it requires the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

The cost doesn’t matter, Gorilla Grodd, needless to say, judging from his birth intelligence and race, humans are the ones who must be enslaved and eliminated. Queen Bee, well, as long as her country stands on top of the world, others

She doesn't care whether the country lives or dies.

A simple and clear dream of a great power, Chaos Demon Wizard, chaos is what he wants most. But you, Lex Luthor, are different. The conflict between you and Clark, the former Superman, is a conflict of ideas. You are a pure

Earthist, human supremacist, in order to punish Superman, you have no problem joining the Illuminati, but at that time we were cooperating with Apokolips to abduct teenagers with super genes from all over the world and treat them as goods.

Make it into a biological weapon and give it to Apokolips.

It is controlled by Apokolips and used to conquer other civilizations in the universe, while we acquire the technology of Apokolips and continue to strengthen ourselves. Among them, everyone including me can regard this human trafficking as a pure transaction, but you are the only one

Exception, during your life of confrontation with Superman, you also conducted similar biochemical experiments, but they were all conducted on a voluntary basis. Whether it was a robot or a biochemical superman, they all had resentment towards Superman.

Guy.

You are not clean at all. You basically provide the arms and technology in war-torn areas. But you never touch human trafficking. You have plenty of money to find people who work for you, such as kidnapping teenagers, and you will

You have never touched it, such as making biological and chemical weapons, and you would even do it, but you didn't. This is what makes me suspicious."

Turning the wine glass on the table and looking at the reflective wine inside, Lex didn't expect that he would arouse Savage's suspicion in this matter, but he still asked: "Just because I don't deal with human trafficking doesn't mean that

I can't turn a blind eye, haven't I done enough of this kind of reckless thing?"

"These are two different things. You are refusing to save yourself because you want to protect yourself, but human trafficking is also sold to Apokolips for biochemical weapons. If you don't care about it, then you are not the one who is fighting for your ideals.

Lex Luthor, who fights with Superman, you are just an unscrupulous villain."

Savage also said his own evaluation of Lex, and Lex was very impressed, but he also refuted it.

"Yeah, so didn't you see that I was constantly giving intelligence to the Justice League and asking them to destroy our den?"

"That's what happens later. Let's talk about the front. Before I sent you the invitation, you were not surprised by what I said about the Illuminati. This is the first doubt. It means you know my existence, or know that someone is targeting you.

Justice League, followed by your sister, Lena Luthor, she is the person closest to you. When she knew that you joined the Illuminati and participated in human trafficking, it was harder for her to believe this fact than anyone else. She was the most

One of the people who know you well, even your close sister, thinks that it is impossible for you to be involved in human trafficking, and that you should turn against me directly for this. However, you joined in, and even acted as a double agent. This is the biggest suspicion.

Your joining was too straightforward, too simple, and you didn't even think about it. It means that before you knew about the Illuminati, you already knew that Lex Enterprises was involved in the Illuminati operations. Someone crossed over you and your sister to mobilize the resources of Lex Enterprises and cooperate with me.

Butt, you join, on the one hand it is to cause trouble, on the other hand it is to catch the mole, you want to know who is behind this behind your back, right, Lex Luthor."

When Savage expressed his suspicions, Lex Luthor, who was spinning the cup, also stopped what he was doing. He didn't bother to lie in this regard. Savage was right, but it was not enough.

.

"That's all, are you sure that I have a connection with Apokolips?"

Savage shook his head and continued his investigation.

"Of course these are not enough. These can only prove that your motives for joining the Illuminati from the beginning were impure, but who among the people inside is clean? But I don't believe that with your wisdom, you will not be able to find out who the mole is. This is impossible, you must have found out, but the identity of this mole made you not choose to kill him/her. Instead, you helped clean up this mess, constantly causing trouble for me, and attracting the attention of the Justice League.

What connects you to Apokolips is your actions in the Blackest Night incident that happened later."

When Savage talked about his movements in the Blackest Night, Lex's heart skipped a beat because he knew that Savage had already guessed the identity of the mole.

"On the blackest night, the Black Lantern Ring will resurrect dead intelligent beings as zombies. Superman's biological father, Batman's biological father, Wonder Woman's brother who was strangled to death before meeting, and the first king of Atlantis ···They have all been in contact with the past. Even I have not escaped it, have you not? No, you have. When you were in New Orleans, you teamed up with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

But when both Superman and Batman came into contact with their Black Lantern biological fathers, you and Wonder Woman also left. She went to Paradise Island to ensure the safety of her people. Why did you go? You must have also thought of the Black Lantern Ring. It will also resurrect the important people around you, but besides your sister, who else is the important person around you? Speaking of which, you should know what I'm talking about, they are your parents.

Your public information shows that you are the son of business tycoons Leonard Luther and Leticia Luther. Your father died a long time ago. Your mother chose to engage in environmental protection after you took over Lex Enterprises. I've been traveling around the world. There's nothing wrong with this information. The problem is that your father's death was too sudden and no one knew about the situation. And your mother's attitude towards your brother and sister in this matter is also very strange.

Assume that you return to the cemetery where your father is buried. I am sure that this guy named Leonard Luther must have been resurrected, but with your methods, killing him is not a problem. But then, you disappeared, again When you return, you have become the god of Apokolips, so tell me that the mole can make the smartest people in the world helpless, and that he can be exiled to Apokolips even when he is fully prepared. , become part of Darkseid’s experiment on godhood, who is the person who can do all this?”

When Savage said this, Lex could no longer listen in silence. He just drank up the wine in his glass and gritted his teeth and said: "My mother, Leticia Luther!"

After Savage heard Lex's admission with his own ears, he nodded. Only in this way can everything make sense. Sometimes, it doesn't take any conspiracy or absolute determination to overturn the world's smartest Lex Luthor. Strength. No matter how smart Lex is, he is still a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will have human weaknesses, and Leticia Luther, as his biological mother, is his weakness.

Only in this way can we explain why someone can transcend Lex and Lena to connect with the Illuminati. With Lex's character, if a stranger or enemy had done something to him, he would have been dead by now. But if it was his mother, it would be a different matter. Don't worry, even Lex Luthor can't be cruel to his mother.

But Savage still had doubts. If it was Leticia Luthor, Lex's mother, what was the point of her doing this? Whether it was to backstab her own children or exile Lex to Apokolips to suffer, how could It seems that this was done to an enemy, not to a son. Even if the tiger is poisonous, it will not eat its seeds. Even he, in all these years, has never done anything like this torturing his own children.

Even in the Blackest Night incident, the daughter of Olympia, who was resurrected as a zombie, was in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease and could no longer remember who she was. She came back to the light and asked Savage, as her father, to end her life. Her own life, before she completely forgets all this.

So he couldn't understand the meaning of Leticia Luthor's actions, unless Lex Luthor was not his son, but this was not right. Savage had investigated Lex's birth record, and it was definitely the original machine. A piece of meat that fell from Leticia's body.

"I know you must be thinking about why my mother did this, Savage, both emotionally and rationally, it conflicts with everything you are investigating. You are here to find an answer, okay, if you want an answer , I’ll tell you, today has been exciting enough, and I don’t mind telling you some heart-wrenching words.”

Lex, who guessed what Savage was thinking, also interrupted Savage's thoughts and turned the initiative of the words into his own hands. But when Lex said this, Savage also became curious.

"Is there any secret I don't know about?"

"Yes, even my sister, Lena, doesn't know these secrets."

"How is that possible?" Savage exclaimed.

Lex was also very helpful to Savage's expression. I was shocked by you before, and now it's my turn to fight back. Who said I'm petty? I'm still bald.

A hint of pleasure at Savage's surprised expression flashed through his mind. After refilling himself a glass of wine, he said: "This is possible. The reason why the secret is a secret is because it will not appear in the file in any form." Among them, whether electronic or on paper, he only exists here and in the hearts of the deceased."

Pointing to his head, Lex also joked there.

"But Lena Luthor is the person involved. She must have been there when your father died. Why wouldn't she know?"

"Save your curiosity for later. Let me tell you a story first, a story about the Luther family. There are not many members in the story, just me, my father, and my mother."
