night.

The Metropolis Revolving Restaurant offers beautiful violin music, a comfortable environment, and stunning views of the Metropolis skyline at night.

This place has been booked by General Lane so that he can have a comfortable dinner with his daughter.

He was often away from home, and due to his busy general duties, it was rare for him to pass through the Metropolis and have a meal with his daughter.

Although his daughter gave him headaches and made him irritable, the family would always find an excuse to contact each other, even though they would always end up arguing.

A family of military officers, instead of dedicating themselves to the country, she became a junior reporter, exposing many scandals about the government, which embarrassed him to the extreme. Every time in private, other generals would tease his daughter, saying that she was "not doing her job properly," which made General Lane extremely angry.

Therefore, almost every time General Lane and his daughter Louis met, it would start with a peaceful meal, followed by a discussion about the future of their respective careers and their future prospects, before they would have a fierce argument. On several occasions, they would even overturn the table and spill the food.

"Why..."

General Lane's slightly wrinkled face remained expressionless, still displaying the dignified demeanor of a general, but he sighed inwardly.

He also understood that both his own and his daughter's personalities were too stubborn and independent, and neither of them would give up what they were doing.

For example, my daughter told me to give up targeting Superman!

Is this possible?

I'm not targeting Superman myself. What if Superman goes berserk and Destruction the world? Who can stop him? There are already too many people who believe in Superman.

Putting aside stances, the fact that Superman is almost invincible on Earth makes it hard to believe.

"General, Miss Louis has arrived."

A waiter whispered in General Lane's ear.

General Lane waved him off and instructed that the food be served. On a small stage not far away, a violinist played a soft, cheerful, and harmonious piece, hoping that the meal would have a pleasant family atmosphere.

"Father!"

The moment he saw Louis, General Lane felt a little flattered.

Her own daughter, beaming with joy, took the initiative to hug her.

When was the last time something like this happened?

Since their daughter started working as a journalist, the two have been almost always distant, spending their time either arguing or scolding each other. It has been a long time since General Lane has felt like he is with his daughter as a family.

And now, Louis's smile seemed to remind General Lane of her when she was learning to speak, of the way she called him "father" and "family" when she was a child.

"Okay... okay, how have you been lately?"

General Lane's wrinkles had loosened considerably, and although he remained dignified, he looked much warmer.

Louis shrugged easily, thanked the waiter for pulling out a chair for her, and said with a relaxed expression, "I'm doing very well. It's been a long time since we last saw each other, Father. The busyness of work has made our family relationship quite distant."

"This is what Ba Di said from Louis's perspective."

The dishes were served one by one.

General Lane shook his head helplessly. "Isn't it because I asked you to help me, and you chose to be a reporter and got a reporter boyfriend?"

At this point, General Lane frowned again, his pent-up anger rising within him, making him appear somewhat agitated.

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Almost every time, they argued because of this.

It looks like today will be another argument between father and daughter.

Yes! I'm sorry.

To everyone's surprise, General Lane heard his own daughter apologize. He was more than just flattered; his daughter seemed like a completely different person!

"I have broken up with Clark. In this final reporting session, I will resign from my journalism career and cease to be a journalist."

Louis said with a slight apology.

Right now.

In Ba Di's mind, however, came a scene from the Deep Bottom of his memory: Louis and his father holding his little hand in their backyard, teaching Louis to walk step by step.

There was also a scene in the middle of the night where she was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, and her father comforted her to sleep.

There's also the helpless scene of a father printing his fierce, stern, and menacing image on his T-shirt to stop his junior high school classmates from pursuing him.

As Louis grew older, her dreams and her father's expectations for his daughter intertwined, ultimately leading to their first argument, followed by a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth...

Upon hearing Louis's words, General Lane lit up with surprise, and he repeatedly said "good" in agreement.

After Louis took the initiative to give up some of her stubbornness that her father did not understand, the two reconciled and began to talk and laugh about all sorts of fun things that happened since the novel.

She hadn't seen her father smile in a long time.

General Lane had not had a good relationship with his daughter for a long time.

When asked about what he wanted to do after giving up his career as a journalist, General Lane invited him. "Come and help me become an officer. With the wisdom and style you inherited from me, I think it won't be a problem."

"Yes, Father, but I still need to do one last job as a journalist, to make the world remember the great journalist Louis Lane."

Louis, holding a fork, said with a smile.

"No problem, or tomorrow, you can come with me Metropolis the military base on the outskirts of the metropolis to familiarize yourself with it first, how about that?"

"Great! I just happen to need to use the military's computers."

the next day.

The sunlight remained blazing, blurring the air.

Inside the military base, Ba Di, led by General Lane, saw the initial stages of the Red Tornado's creation.

The red-clad humanoid armored robot, in its initial stages of control and with a somewhat rigid, weak-intelligence judgment program, is more than capable of handling typical counter-terrorism military operations.

However, it would be somewhat inconvenient to use it to guard against Superman and the Justice League members.

Ba Di pointed out all these shortcomings, making the scientists conducting the tests around him blush with anger.

"This is only the first generation!"

"With our improvements, it will become more and more perfect!"

This multi-year project, Red Tornado billions of dollars invested in its development, clearly gave them immense confidence. After a series of tests, it showed promising results, and they believed it would continue to improve and eventually be used to stop the Justice League.

Ba Di smiled without saying a word, and with General Lane's approval, he borrowed a computer at the military base and plugged in a USB drive that he had already edited.

This was under the premise that Louis became world-famous, becoming one of the greatest journalists on Earth, a journalist remembered by all.

What you need to guard against is preventing Cyborg from deleting all the information you posted.

Then, it took almost a whole day for Ba Di to complete the virus implantation and modify the Red Tornado's architecture. Although this was quite abrupt, how could Louis possibly recognize these things? But faced with the more maneuverable Red Tornado, the scientists and General Lane were even more delighted.

Consider this... compensation for General Lane's future lack of a daughter.
