"Victor, there's one more person you need to save." Seeing that his son had calmed down, Dr. Stone continued, "Lex was kidnapped too. When we were taken away, he slipped his pen into my pocket. At first, I didn't understand why he did that, but now I think it was meant as a clue for you. He's a smart man, even if he took the wrong path for a while. But no matter what, he doesn't deserve to be manipulated by those politicians. We need to find a way to get him out."
"Where is he?" Victor asked.
"I'm not sure. He only guessed that the politicians would bring me here to guard against your powers. But as for himself..."
"Hello?... Hello???"
Victor suddenly heard a voice coming from midair. He stared in that direction as if he'd seen a ghost, then heard the voice continue, "No need to come save me. I already got out."
Victor played the voice aloud, and Dr. Stone heard it too. "Lex, is that you? How are you?"
"They caught me last time because I wasn't prepared. But this time, I spent an entire week in the lab. They think they can control me that easily again? Dream on!"
"It's good that you're alright," Dr. Stone said. "You need to find somewhere safe to hide. They definitely won't let this go."
"Give me a break. These people are experts at pushing their luck, so hiding away and defending ourselves won't work. But things are indeed a little critical right now. I need to reclaim Luthor Corp first, or I won't have the capital to fight them."
"Need any help?" Victor asked, pressing his earpiece.
"No. The most important thing for you right now is to make sure you don't fall into their hands again.
