Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Chapter 365

If possible, Diana would rather break Luthor's neck or blow his head off than sit in Luthor's office and have a "good chat" with him face to face.

Nothing to talk about.

Today, when Karl has left, the relationship between them is a natural confrontation, although Diana has no evidence to prove that Luthor has moved in the whole incident-although she is smart, she is smart and modern. have nothing to do with their technological devices - yet some things don't need proof at all.

In the eyes of a certain group of people, any conspiracy related to Superman and ultimately successful will definitely have Lex.Luther's intervention.

So Diana never imagined that such a scene would appear: she and Luther appeared on the same occasion, and both of them were very calm, maintaining at least a superficial harmonious atmosphere.

Luther even prepared a bottle of spirits for her.

Seeing that she was just sitting there without moving, he leaned over and poured the transparent wine into the glass.

"No." Diana said coldly, "I don't know why I'm sitting here, but I'm here anyway—maybe because I'm really curious about what happened between you two."

Luther put down the wine bottle in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"I hope you enjoy the Metropolis, Ms. Prince, what a beautiful city," he said. "The sun is shining, the sky is bright, the streets are clean, the people are friendly. The efforts of many people to jointly maintain."

"Of course." Diana replied sarcastically, "Isn't it all your fault?"

"There is my contribution, but not only my contribution." Luthor said, "The metropolis is maintained by his residents. She is not my city, she is everyone's city; and It wasn't that long ago that she became Superman's city alone."

"I don't agree with what you're saying, and I'm not interested in arguing with you. Come on, Luther, what do you want?"

"...you were the last person to communicate with him."

"Oh." Diana raised her eyebrows, "I see."

She studied Luther's face, and caught what she wanted in his bright eyes and calm expression.

Pain, mourning, despair to the verge of collapse.

It's ridiculous.

The man loved as much as he hated the man he regarded as his lifelong enemy.

But he didn't realize it existed until he made a big mistake.

"You want to know what he said to me at the end, don't you?"

Luther didn't deny it.

"I thought you were going to catch me and threaten me, that's what you're going to do: always be on top, always be winning."

"If the opponent is not Superman, even winning or losing is meaningless." Luther said lightly, "Besides, I don't think you are my opponent, Ms. Prince, we have something in common."

It was a fact, and Diana frowned uncomfortably, and said wearily, "Shut up Luther. You make me sick."

She raised the wine glass in front of her and drank the fiery wine in one gulp.

Now the atmosphere between them really eased - at least Diana's eagerness to attack was finally suppressed by her.

"Trying to kill me in my home field was a wrong decision. I believe you will not be stupid enough to take action. But so much time has passed, and you have not done anything against me... This makes me have to suspect that What did he say to you?" Luther asked, "What did he say?"

"He says……"

Diana's memory came back to that moment, she closed her eyes, and she could still hear Carl's weak voice.

"He must die by my hands." He said slowly, each word clearly pronounced, "Mine."

"...'I'm sorry'," Diana said, "and he said 'I'm sorry, it's all my fault'."

She stood up and looked at Lex coldly.With a glance at Luther, she had hundreds of ways to kill Luther at such a close distance, and she also had hundreds of reasons to kill him, but there was only one reason for giving up doing so.

One reason is enough.

She walked towards the door, and Luther sat silently, filling his glass.

"Nothing ever happened in this city," he said. "Nothing."

He sat in the empty office and drank the spirits alone.

Diana left the metropolis so quickly and with such a decisive attitude, it makes people feel that she can no longer stay in this city for even a second, because every second she stays here, she needs to endure "Lex Luthor is alive" torture.

Only Batman discovered that her condition was actually stabilizing. She was obsessed with the justice work in the Washington area, and occasionally invited Alexander to bring Connor over to play.

She likes Connor a lot.

And Connor -- Batman finds out that he's just a completely goofy kid who doesn't have a clear understanding of life and death.He felt that daddy's death was a very difficult battle or a very serious wound. He knew that the current situation was not optimistic, but he had the most optimistic expectations in his heart.

I wish he'd figured out what was going on a little later.

Iron Man began to drink heavily, but Pep and Jarvis managed him very hard, and as a pivotal member of the Avengers, as a person who provided event funds and high-tech equipment, he was always overwhelmed by a lot of work, even the alcoholic There is not much time to spare.

For the Xavier House and Fraternity, it was business as usual: after a century of war, they were used to life and death, and at times they displayed a ruthlessness that would chill anyone's heart.

But they never forgot Superman.They just hide their grief in their hearts and use the death of their companions to motivate themselves.

The Justice League is occasionally called in to tackle difficult problems that require them to work together, and when they're not cooperating, the superheroes guard their cities.

Time flies by.

Lex's action never stops for a day:

Researching drugs to eradicate certain incurable diseases, developing more practical high-tech products, and improving the robots deployed by Lex Group in the metropolis. ——He still has an undefeated opponent, but everyone knows that Lex.Luther will be the final victor.

Time has not smoothed everything out.

Metropolis is a long-lasting city, and this little time is not enough to make them forget Superman.

Fresh bouquets of flowers are delivered to the tombstone in the downtown park every day, and people come to pay their respects every day; the Superman Museum has been built, and every day, there is an endless stream of metropolitans and tourists from all over the world.

But Lex.Luthor did win people's support and trust with his actions - after Superman's death, he was still pushy and boastful, but every promise he made was fulfilled, and every word he said was never wrong, so people Gradually, I felt that this was completely acceptable.

"He's a man of business," people said. "He's just a natural fan of showing off."

And after getting acquainted with--or at least to Lex.In the eyes of people who knew a little about Luther, his changes were so great that it made people wonder if he was parasitized by some alien creature.

"Don't be silly, Mr. Holmes." Lex sniffed the hot tea in his cup, "The campaign is about to come to an end, and our cooperation is about to come to an end. I will miss you, a smart, good-for-nothing A collaborator is more valuable than any subordinate."

"You're the last one," Mycroft asked him. "How does it feel?"

In his capacity, this question is too presumptuous.

But Lex already understood Mycroft's gossip and bad taste hidden under his calm appearance, he just glanced at him, his green eyes as calm as a piece of emerald.

"Not as good as I thought, but not as bad as I thought."

Finally, he finally stood on the high platform where he was sworn in as president.

He is about to start the last speech of this campaign. He will become the person who holds the highest power in this country and even in the whole world. It is no exaggeration to say that in this position, he can use a little trick to Change the whole world in an aboveboard way.

This "world", of course, also includes those so-called superheroes.

boring.

boring.

boring.

He has achieved all his goals—of course, changing the whole world has not yet been achieved, but all those who can and are qualified to block his way have been eliminated by him, and what will happen next is just step by step Routine, even Mercy can do it.

Countless cameras were aimed at him, and the eyes of the whole world were focused on him. People were waiting for the inauguration speech of the youngest and most legendary president in history, waiting for him to say some shocking words and unbelievable promises .

"...Hello, everyone." Lex said, "Many people are wondering why I ran for president. Of course, I have said many reasons. To change the world, for a greater future, for my ideals - these are of course That's right, but what got me thinking about running for president was something else."

"Not long ago, Superman made it clear before the reporter's question: He is a citizen of the United States, and if the President of the United States calls him, he will be happy to do what he can."

"That's how I originally conceived the idea of ​​running for president."

"But now, obviously he has no way to keep his promise." Lex smiled slightly, "I can only do what I want to do by myself. Everything becomes very difficult without his help, not technically Not hard, but spiritual—we need a great man as a benchmark, and for a long time, Superman was that benchmark."

He took out a red cape from the briefcase in front of him.

"This is a gift from Superman."

He wore a red cape over his suit, which was funny, but no one laughed.

"I can't possibly replace him. We all know Superman is irreplaceable - but I will try to be as much as you can believe in."

People's screams and applause came from all directions, with tears in their eyes, choked up and unable to speak, while Lex stood in the center of the spotlight and camera, ecstasy and disappointment swept over at the same time.

His every word, every strike and every performance was made for Superman.

... Without Superman, the world is a desert.

He was just a muttering, lost traveler.
