Metropolis Museum.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Dilos was a little unaccustomed to playing with the expensive suit on his body, and complained with some dissatisfaction to Lex who was also wearing a expensive suit:
"And you have to wear these things that feel very inconvenient?"
Lex snorted and ignored Dilos's complaints. He took a sip from a special glass filled with champagne and said, "This is Metropolis Museum's reception. It is a formal occasion. Everyone must wear formal attire. If you don't wear formal attire, you will not be allowed in."
As he said that, Lex pointed at the dozens of men and women walking around in suits and gowns, looking like you had never seen a big scene.
"So you still think of me as a rookie."
Dilos, who was a little depressed in his heart, couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I know. But does this have anything to do with me setting up a business?"
Hearing this, Lex shook his head and said helplessly, "Although it is said that you can establish a company as long as you have money, but you haven't forgotten that you are still a year and a half away from turning eighteen, right? United States The law does not allow minors to be directors of companies."
Without waiting for Dilos to speak, Lex continued, "But no matter what, as long as you want to build a business, you have to communicate with tycoons of other companies, whether it is gossip or technology exchanges, you will always encounter this kind of thing. You must know that to be a person like me, no matter how you talk, you have to get through it. Today, there happen to be a few high-level personnel from relatively good small businesses here. You can communicate with them as an exercise."
At the end, Lex added a few words: "You don't have to worry that they will ignore you. After all, you followed me in. These little people have to give me some face."
After saying that, Lex walked away with an expression that looked like "I wish you good luck" but actually said "I'll laugh at you". Dilos, who was left with a depressed look on his face, secretly scolded him for being unkind.
In fact, Dilos had done this kind of communication in his previous life. Although it was not as good as Lex's performance, it was definitely not bad. He felt uncomfortable because he simply didn't like suits. As for the underage issue mentioned by Lex, it was also very easy to handle. As long as Dilos controls the deformation of his skin, he can change his face into someone else's. The effect of pretending to be an adult is quite good. But if you want to make things bigger and prevent others from suspecting, you still need the help of others. At present, the most convenient person to do this is Lex.
"Should I tell Lex some of my abilities?"
Dilos was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether Lex would be willing to accept that he had super powers. He thought about it and finally decided to think about it for a while.
"Dilos." At this moment, Dilos suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Clark in a suit and dress. He looked around with an uncomfortable look on his face and walked over slowly.
"Why are you staying here alone?" Dilos couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going to accompany Chloe?"
"She said she wanted to do girly things with other girls, but boys were not allowed in."
Clark pointed to the side helplessly, and saw Chloe chatting happily with Lana, who was also wearing a more conservative dress. And Lana's boyfriend Whitney, like Clark, retreated far away, sitting on the chair beside him and looking around uncomfortably.
"It seems that we are all the same, we don't like this kind of situation." Dilos looked at Clark next to him, and curled his lips helplessly.
Clark shrugged and smiled helplessly, "But Chloe is very happy today, so that's good."
"Wow~" Dilos suddenly screamed strangely, which made Clark feel a little embarrassed. Then the former approached Clark with a wicked smile and asked, "Tell me the truth, how did you get along with my sister? I thought you would be secretly in love with Lana for the rest of your life."
"Well..." Clark didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little funny and a little tangled. It took him a while to say, "It's a long story."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking if you don't want to." Dilos said a little boringly. Seeing Clark's wonderful expression before, he originally thought he could dig out some embarrassing things about his sister. But the other party's answer meant that he didn't want to talk about it.
At this moment, Clark looked at Dilos. He seemed to want to say something to Dilos, but didn't know how to speak. After struggling several times, he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Dilos, there is something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Dilos looked at Clark with some confusion. Although the latter's face was a little nervous, he still said what he said.
"That's it. Thank you for saving my parents before. Also, I learned some things from my parents, about you knowing that I have super powers and that you have super powers."
"This matter..." Dilos was a little surprised that Clark would ask this. He hesitated for a while and said, "Chloe told you?"
Clark shook his head. "Chloe didn't say anything. Even if I mentioned this matter to her, she didn't say anything. She just asked me to find you and said that if you are willing to tell the matter..."
Clark didn't finish what he said, but Dilos roughly knew what he wanted to say.
Dilos thought of some of the extraordinary things he showed when he rescued Kents, and thought that Clark must have heard about it from his adoptive parents. It is estimated that at this moment Clark is suspecting that Dilos is an alien like him.
This was exactly the reaction Dilos originally expected to Clark.
Clark is not Mutant, nor is he an earthling, but from an alien planet. Everything makes Clark look different, but it also makes him feel a strong sense of loneliness. Therefore, Clark also longs to no longer be lonely in his heart, and wants to have a close companion, even if this companion is not from an alien planet like himself.
When Dilos deliberately showed off his abilities in front of Kents, he also wanted to use them to lower Clark's own vigilance and make it easier to establish a relationship with the latter. After all, no matter how you look at it, being friends with people with superpowers will more or less give Clark a sense of identification with similar people.
If this kind of relationship is obtained, it will be of great benefit to Dilos. Whether it is blood collection or other things.
But when Clark and Chloe got together, Dilos was embarrassed to continue scheming against Clark. Such scheming against his brother-in-law was not a good behavior. Although Dilos was not a good person, he was still relatively decent.
Seeing that Dilos was somewhat silent, Clark couldn't help but become a little anxious. He went directly to Dilos and whispered, "Some time ago, I was bumped into by Chloe when I was using my super power. She didn't react at all when she found out about it. She is obviously used to it..."
The implication is that you, Dilos, must have been using this superpower in front of her all day long, which has caused her to get used to it. If you don't admit it, you are too mean.
What Clark didn't expect was that the reason why Chloe looked like he was used to it was because Dilos filmed the scene of the former using his superpowers with a camera and made it into a CD for Chloe to watch again and again. In addition, Chloe didn't want to be misunderstood by Clark, so he hid the matter.
Dilos looked at Clark who looked anxious with a strange expression on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to tell anyone about the secret filming.
