Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor stood nervously in front of the door, reflecting on what he had seen and heard in the Suicide Slum over the past few days, the series of rules that had been improved in the slums, and the rumors of his own brutality and tyranny.
Lex Luthor believed that his moment to change his Destiny had arrived.
He wouldn't spend his whole life in the Suicide Slum. He loathed it, he hated it, even though Ba Di had improved it and there were rules now, he still had no affection for it.
He squeezed the tape recorder in the pocket of his black hoodie, took a deep breath to calm himself, opened the door, and stepped inside.
But as soon as he entered, under the sunlight, Ba Di looked like a god and a demon at the same time, and the shadow of his half-body made him feel like a devil, which made his body stiffen a little more unconsciously.
This is a vicious man, a tyrant, who can easily kill anyone. He can also exploit the madness of the Suicide Slum to portray himself as a god, making almost everyone in the Suicide Slum believe in him and flatter him.
Lex Luthor closed the door, walked to the sofa opposite Ba Di, but did not sit down, nor could he. Gang members had once tried to sit down in front of him, only to be thrown dozens of meters away and killed.
Ba Di is very particular about rules; you should behave properly in his presence.
He only wants the right to establish and break rules, and he doesn't allow others to act recklessly.
Lex Luthor stood stiffly, like a child who had made a mistake. He stiffened, yet stubbornly raised his head, staring at Ba Di.
He is just a thirteen-year-old boy.
Ba Di finished his hot cocoa in one gulp, the warm chocolate flavor flowing smoothly down his throat. He glanced at Lex Luthor and asked, "What's up?"
Lex Luthor took a deep breath, his stiff body trembling slightly. This matter could easily lead to him being crushed by an enraged Ba Di, but based on his psychological analysis of Luthor's behavior, and knowing that Barty was currently lacking talent, there was still a 90% chance that he could succeed.
He had done a lot of research and observed Ba Di, and believed that he could understand and grasp part of Ba Di's psychology.
Lex Luthor thought to himself, trying to calm his racing heart, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I want to join 'Ba Miu Luo Di'."
"Can."
Ba Di didn't refuse at all and agreed immediately, putting down the hot cocoa and looking at this young version of Lex Luthor with a slight smile.
Lex Luthor was stunned; this was too easy...
He had considered many backup plans, showcasing his intelligence and cunning to help manage the Suicide Slum, persuade him, and develop long-term plans for the future, including the long-term strategy for 'Ba Miu Luo Di', how to seize Metropolis, and how to make Metropolis 'Ba Miu Luo Di'. He had made certain plans for all of these.
He hadn't even had a chance to demonstrate his value when, to his surprise, Ba Di immediately agreed to join him, leaving him stunned.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to ask why.
In the end, he didn't ask, because he felt he had already achieved his goal and didn't want to ask too many questions in front of Ba Di.
This is the approach of a smart person.
Ba Di's eyes lit up with admiration, and then he answered his question, "The tape recorder in your pocket is recording the 'Ba Miu Luo Di' meeting, the one about the Suicide Slum police chief, of course, the police chief was burned to ashes, and there's also a recording of him killing 36 people."
Lex Luthor shuddered, his pupils shrinking in shock.
We've been discovered!
"I suppose that's how you show off your intelligence. I admire that. Also, the documents you were supposed to mail in two hours at the post office, containing evidence of the crimes of the entire 'Ba Miu Luo Di', have been intercepted."
Ba Di laughed.
"Do you want to use this as a pledge of allegiance? Once I, 'Ba Miu Luo Di,' refuse to accept you, you will use it to the upper-class 'Family' of the Metropolis to demonstrate your worth and escape from the Suicide Slum."
Lex Luthor's body began to tremble, an uncontrollable fear rising within him, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his pupils constricted, unable to look at Ba Di.
"In addition, to guard against any unforeseen circumstances, you had your friend leave the slum with another set of documents. Don't worry, your friend is still here."
Ba Di walked up to him, slowly, his tall figure surging over him like a flood bursting its banks, making Lex Luthor feel suffocated.
He trembled, drenched in cold sweat. When he saw the tip of Ba Di's shoe appear in his line of sight, he trembled even more violently. Waves of fear surged into his heart with the sweat, making him gasp for breath and not daring to lift his head.
Ba Di patted Lex Luthor on the shoulder, startling him.
"Do you think I only have brute strength and am helpless against the ever-evolving high technology, so you want to leave yourself an escape route? To involve the Family and seek development in the Metropolis?"
Lex Luthor pressed his lips together, his fearful eyes still holding him together. He was smart enough to believe that flesh and blood could not compare to the high technology of the future. He was farsighted and wise enough to see the future development.
Ba Di suddenly gave him a gentle push on the back and laughed, "Go back and pack your things. Today we'll go to the Central City of the Metropolis. From now on, you're a member of the Ba Miu Luo Di."
Lex Luthor nodded, his steps trembling as he left the room, breathing heavily, a bitter smile on his face.
His wisdom had no place for bravery; it was stripped away bit by bit, leaving him trembling with fear, and he was still trembling to this day.
He walked out of the luxurious building with a wry smile. When the sunlight shone on him, he looked up at it, and the sunlight pierced his eyes, causing a slight sting.
He recovered from his despair and fear and took a step forward.
Regardless of fear or trembling, from this day forward, he is no longer a member of the Suicide Slum.
I... walked out of here!
From the French windows of the balcony, Ba Di saw Lex Luthor leave. Once he was out of the building, Batty straightened his back and left.
Lex Luthor.
Don't let me down!
I look forward to the moment you betray me.
Ba Di smiled and summoned Mike.
"I'm leaving the Suicide Slum today; I'm leaving this place to you."
"You take your men and take down the Gambino Mafia. Don't cooperate. Take over their territory as quickly as possible. I'll go to the Metropolis and the International Gang and Organization One Hundred people to talk to them and see if they will submit."
"Don't worry about the Family, I'll handle that. You recruit some mercenaries to guard the Suicide Slum."
