The Knights of the DC House

In the office of the president of Lex Enterprises in Metropolis, after telling Savage about his past, why he joined the Illuminati, and why he stabbed Savage in the back, Savage also handed over an investigation report.

It was placed in front of Lex. After reading the report, Lex's expression became ugly because he couldn't believe what was in the report. Emotionally, he didn't want to believe it, but rationally, he understood that Savage would not

Make up a fake one for yourself.

"Are you sure it was my mother who did it?" Taking a deep breath, Lex confirmed again.

"Unless in the story you told me, your father is still alive, otherwise, the person who can mobilize the company's resources besides you and your sister is your mother. After all, before you officially became the head of Lex Enterprises,

Your mother is managing this company, and she wants to leave some back-up plan that you won't know about. She can do it if she thinks about it." Shaking the wine glass that had reached the bottom, Savage also walked up to Lex, who looked gloomy and uncertain.

Patting him on the shoulder, he continued.

"As a friend, I have to advise you. Sometimes you have to break things off. Your mother is also using you. You'd better have thought of a solution to all this. Otherwise, you won't know what happens next.

I don’t want to see it, but I don’t want to. Your mother is now standing directly on the earth and on the opposite side of mankind."

In response to Savage's advice, Lex took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "I know this, so as a friend, can you help me keep this secret and let me handle it myself."

Looking at the way Lex looked at him, Savage also understood that Lex was the same type of person as him. Many times, they could sacrifice everyone for whatever they arranged, but at some times, they were also fragile.

They were vulnerable, especially when it came to their own relatives. No matter how strong or smart they were, they could not make a correct decision. Savage knew very well, but he still gave Lex the right to choose.

"I'll give you time. You must handle this matter before Clark takes office. Otherwise, I can only choose to explain the situation to Clark and the Justice League and tell them about your mother and her alliance with Apokolips.

, is likely to disrupt the situation during the inauguration ceremony. You should know that Clark's taking office can be said to be a turning point in history. I don't want this turning point to be the turning point that represents the end of mankind and the earth."

"Understood, that means there is still about a month left. That's enough. Leave it to me. I will go find her and settle everything."

"Then you'd better keep your word. Today's conversation is limited to you and me. Goodbye, Lex."

Putting down the cup, Savage then left Lex's office with his hands behind his back. After Lex watched Savage leave, his whole body felt like his spine had been ripped out, turning into a puddle of mud and slumped on the chair.

.At the same time, he also looked at the report on the table, opened a corner of the report, looked at the year and month displayed on it, and some related information, and couldn't help but look at the sky and smile bitterly.

"If it weren't for Savage, I really wouldn't have thought that everything that happened in the past and there were so many secrets, especially you, mother, I finally understand why you cooperated with Apokolips, but for this reason, there are

What you did is really bloody and excessive."

Sighing, Lex stuffed the report into the drawer of his desk, and in the corner he opened, the year on it showed 1996, an old event that happened 25 years ago.

, and this old story became the source of his mother's cooperation with Apokolips. If this is true, Lex just feels that life is so damn disgusting.

While Lex was still feeling regretful about the mistakes his mother had made, Leticia Luther, who had returned, was having a mother-daughter conversation with Lena in her hometown of Lex Manor.

In order to give Lena a normal childhood, Lex cleaned Lena's memory when she was young and implanted a false and happy family life for Lena. She had no memory of what happened to her parents when she was a child.

She was currently resting on her mother's lap, just like the false memory in her mind, telling her mother what had happened over the years.

"Mom, why are people so weird? Sometimes you already have everything, but just losing something that is not necessarily yours can make people feel so uncomfortable, as if they have lost everything.

It’s the same as the whole world.”

Lying on her mother's lap, Lena was also talking about her mood at this time. It was difficult for Lena to tell other people about such emotional matters. The main reason was that she didn't know who to talk to.

If she told her friends in the Teen Titans, this matter would reach the ears of Ke Wen and Kara within a short time. Then she would have to face them both. Lena didn't want this. It made it seem like she needed someone.

As pitiful.

But if she didn't tell her friends in Teen Titans, she would find that she didn't seem to have any friends around her. She thought about her past carefully. From elementary school to college, she had always lived alone, except for herself.

Her brother. It was only after she met Ke Wen, Kara, and Zatanna that her social circle expanded. Thinking about it this way, she felt depressed again.

Just when Lena was sharing her troubles and troubles with her mother, in the words of Lex and Savage, she colluded with Apokolips, reached cooperation with Apokolips, and appeared in Lex with an unknown purpose.

Leticia from the manor also had eyes twinkling while listening to her daughter's words. While stroking her daughter's hair, she quietly took out a box from behind her and placed it next to her.

Sia flipped the switch, and a string of beautiful music played from the box.

The light and sweet music echoed in the manor, which also eased Lena's depressed mood. Only then did Leticia speak there.

"Lena, my dear daughter, that's how it is sometimes. It's not that the thing doesn't belong to you, it just happened to be missed. You can't help it."

Hearing her mother's answer to her, Lena had mixed feelings for a moment. She felt that her originally depressed mood became even more depressed in this light music. She even felt a little unhappy. She didn't know if she was unhappy with her mother's answer.

, still unhappy about why she missed it. Obviously, Leticia also noticed the changes in her daughter. She changed her original comforting tone and continued talking there.

"But what if you miss it? If that's what you want, no matter who gets it first and snatches it back, isn't it yours?"

"Snatch it back?"

Lying on her mother's lap, Lena was also repeating Leticia's words, while her eyes were a little dull.

"Yes, snatch it back. Since it is what you want, even if it has become someone else's thing, you still have to snatch it back. Even if the person who gets this thing is your good friend, it is best if she gives it to you voluntarily.

, if she doesn’t give it to him, then kill her, then snatch him back and keep him in his hands forever.”

"Yeah, grab it back, and I'll kill whoever robs it from me. That'll be fine."

In the light music, Lena kept repeating her mother's words, and Leticia also looked at the box that played the light music. On the box, an Ω cursor loomed. Leticia looked at this

The looming cursor also whispered: "For Darkseid."

Unknown changes are quietly taking place in this manor.

On this day, Lex Luthor, who was supposed to be working at the headquarters of Lex Enterprises in Metropolis, also quietly left Metropolis. No one knew where he was going. And for the earth, for the world, a battle surrounding Clark...

Kent, who was once the most powerful superhero in the world - the active identity of Superman, is also gathering an invisible storm. Of course, no one knows about all this.

Now all over the world, people are discussing this former Superman and how the world situation will change when he officially moves into the White House at the end of January and becomes the president of this superpower, heading towards a brighter future.

Let's go back to the 20th century and start a new wave of Cold War. As for the second possibility, no one thinks it will happen. Before, you were superman and represented all the good aspects of mankind. Wei Guangzheng was talking about you.

But now, the halo of being a superman has disappeared. As an ordinary person, facing this huge power, it is hard to say whether you can maintain everything you used to be as a superman. After all, you made a lot of promises before taking office, but you have made a lot of promises after taking office.

Everyone is accustomed to denying things. People want to see whether, as the first unique president, you will make a different choice, or will you be like the previous ones, doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes?

, if this is the case, people may also have many topics to talk about after dinner.

For example, dragon slayers eventually become dragons, even aliens are no exception.

But for Ke Wen, his task is more arduous. He is obviously going to go on a big adventure in the universe. Before the big adventure, he can say goodbye to being single. But before he can enjoy the fun of falling in love, he has to be in trouble.

Dian ran back to Shanghai and came to the Ministry of Self-Reliance of China to work as a lobbyist, convincing the new generation headed by Kong Kenan, Wang Baixi, and Peng Qingdai to join the International Justice League proposed by Clark.

In the conference room, Kong Kenan's trio were sitting there, and as the head of the new superpower department that established the China Self-Strengthening Department, Kong Kenan's mother, Dr. Chen, was sitting in the main seat, listening to what Ke Wen was going to do with him.

When Clark talked about the reasons for the formation of the International Justice League. After basically retelling Clark's thoughts on the formation of the International Justice League, Ke Wen did not continue to talk, but gave the right to speak to Dr. Chen, because he knew that he could

It was she who made the final decision and made the people in power agree.

After listening to Ke Wen's explanation in detail, Dr. Chen also fell into silence. He looked at Ke Wen in front of him for a long time, and then asked: "Before I reply to you, you have to answer a few questions for me, okay, Ke Wen?"

arts?"

"You say it, you say it." Ke Wen didn't have any airs about this big man who was listening to Datian. He directly put himself in the position of a junior and allowed Dr. Chen to ask questions.

"First of all, the first point is that once they join the International Justice League, they will not be able to compete with the original Justice League, including the organization you belong to called the Teen Titans. To be honest, you guys are all in your 20s and you still call yourself Teen Titans.

Are the Titans going too far? Anyway, when they are in trouble and have conflicts with these people, who do you help, especially when conflicts arise due to national interests?"

As soon as he came up, Dr. Chen asked the most critical question, which made Ke Wen stunned. To be honest, this question was difficult to answer. After all, Ke Wen had a special status. As a Chinese, Ke Wen did not do anything.

Things that endanger the motherland are considered competent as heroes, but once anything is linked to interests, the nature changes. This is inevitable, especially since Ke Wen, the Kamen Rider, is still active overseas, and his base camp is also overseas. In general

You can't be stabbed in the back by one of your own people when the time comes. Wouldn't that be a fool?

"Ah, here, use your big moves when you come up, Dr. Chen." After a moment of embarrassment, Ke Wen vomited to cover up his uneasy mood at the moment.

"This is the answer I must know. International Justice League, the starting point is good, but you have to think about the worst in everything. It's not like you haven't seen a lot of intrigues in the United Nations. I just want to know where you stand. Must

Give me an answer."

After scratching his head, Ke Wen also gave his own answer.

"Since you asked that, let me tell you the same thing, Dr. Chen. If we hadn't taken the initiative to stir up trouble, and at the same time it was my friends who had done things that harmed the country against their own will without telling me,

, and will target Kenan and the others, then you can rest assured that I will definitely stand on Kenan's side, and vice versa. This is my principle. I help the manager but not the relatives. I cannot violate my conscience because of my personal identity.

But I think we haven’t fallen enough to do mischief in international organizations. At least as far as I know, we have never been the ones to stir up trouble; we have always been the most responsible ones.”

Nodding, Dr. Chen was quite satisfied with the answer given by Ke Wen. If the law is not on his side, asking others to help him is obviously a hooligan.

"I am satisfied with this answer for the time being. So for the second question, can you guarantee that after Clark Kent takes office as president, he will maintain his original intention? He is now Clark Kent, not Superman."

"Ah, about this, I can answer you without any consideration, Clark Kent, even if he does not exist as Superman now, he just gave up his power as Superman. His responsibility as Superman, his heart

But it has never been changed. This is his strongest point, and it is also the reason why I strongly support his desire to run for president. He is more suitable to be this president than anyone else.

Because he has never forgotten his responsibility. Whether as Superman or Clark Kent, he only wants to exist as a flag to let the earth and mankind move towards a new future. It is just that as Superman, his powerful power

It makes human beings lazy and loses the possibility of progress. But as Clark Kent, he participates in it. Even if he falls, the next person will take up his banner and continue on.

He doesn't care who takes over the flag, as long as it is someone who can inherit his idea. Now is a good time. We humans have been trapped on the earth for a long, long time. It's not that we don't want to get out, it's ourselves

We have limited ourselves. Now Clark Kent is no longer Superman. Soon, the universe will know that there is no Superman on the earth. At that time, should we passively go out, or should we take advantage of this golden period and step out first?

step.

As far as I know, isn't our country currently carrying out a space and lunar exploration project? The satellites are ready to be launched, and the lunar soil must be collected accurately for the next step. But why not take a step forward, such as direct manned landing?

Moon, mining, helium-3 mines, although the world's technology has destroyed mankind dozens of times, we seem to have made no progress in going global. We really don't think about becoming the first in this era.

A country that mines on the moon and establishes a base?"

The simple and straightforward interests made Dr. Chen no longer want to continue asking. When the whole world knew that Superman was an alien, the Five Permanent Persons wanted to obtain the secrets of Kryptonian technology from Superman, a man who could cross the universe and come to the earth.

It is obvious how attractive extraterrestrial civilizations and their aerospace technology are to the earth. However, Superman protects it very well, and basically no one can explore the location of the Fortress of Solitude.

Of course, this does not mean that the earth’s black technology cannot be used for spaceflight. When Darkseid invaded the earth, everyone has restored part of the debris left behind. Even Lex and Batman themselves can build things to go into space.

But this is different. The first thing is that these are black technologies, which are made by gathering all kinds of thinking. They cannot be reproduced on a large scale. They are produced as an assembly line.

Secondly, they are basically all designed to meet personal purposes. They are biased in terms of applications and functions. The resources and money consumed are not generally large. It is okay to treat it as something at the bottom of the box. If you really want to use it, use it once.

They would have to lose half their life. But Kryptonian technology is different. A complete set of Kryptonian technology is enough to bring various enlightenments to the earth. Those physical formulas and scientific conjectures that have stagnated may get a new one.

Extend and become something that truly belongs to you.

And on this basis, we will extend the earth's own aerospace technology and embark on a path different from Krypton's.

This made Dr. Chen excited. Even the Ministry of Self-improvement of China, a department with a lot of black technology, could not ignore the temptation brought by a complete set of Kryptonian technology.

"Can I trust Clark Kent to do this?"

"You can believe me. Before I existed as a Kamen Rider, I was first of all a Chinese. I can't possibly watch my motherland's status in the world decline. I know better than anyone that I will be beaten if I fall behind."

Ke Wen also said the same. While Ke Wen and Dr. Chen were discussing, Kong Kenan, who was sitting next to him, also raised his hand to speak.

"Mom, no, Dr. Chen, can you let me say a few words?"

After looking at his son, Dr. Chen nodded.

"Well, although I don't know whether Clark Kent will do this, but if he wants to do something to hurt us and this country, then don't worry, I will win, because I am also a Superman and belong to

This country’s superman!”

With that said, Kong Kenan also revealed the Chinese red S logo on his chest. Looking at his son's sincere face and Ke Wen's eyes, Dr. Chen nodded slowly.

After a long time, Ke Wen also walked out of the China Self-Strengthening Department, looked at the sky and stretched himself.

"Huh, this is half done. I can't control what kind of choices they will make next. But now that this matter is done, I should go to the universe to have some fun, which can be considered a liberation."

Looking at the blue sky above his head, Ke Wen also had some expectations for the scenery outside the earth.

My shoulder is finally healed, but I have been so worried these past two days!
