"Godfather, that guy named Clark... he has a problem!"
Lex, who returned to the mansion, sat next to the fireplace and said to Luke, who was lying lazily on the sofa and showed no dignity as an elder.
Although the two met only once, they did not even exchange contact information.
But he was deeply impressed by Clark and full of... good impressions.
Ahem, you can't say that either.
To describe it more accurately, it should be curiosity.
"What remarkable discovery have you made, Detective Luthor?"
Luke was thinking about how to explain his identity to his little cousin. After his thoughts were interrupted by Lex, he asked with a smile.
He vaguely felt that he had seen the current script somewhere.
Small town boy Clark, first love girlfriend Lana, plus Lex-Luthor who appeared early... created a familiar feeling inexplicably.
"I can guarantee that the Porsche hit Clark, but - he was not injured! He even rescued me from underwater!"
Lex shook her hair and said doubtfully.
"That's a Porsche! It collapsed the bridge!"
At this time, he still has no sign of being strong, so he lacks the "extremely smart" buff bonus.
Kong has keen observation skills, but he cannot capture the trajectory of the truth.
If you switch to the bald head Lex, you may be able to notice something wrong immediately.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Luke naturally knew the reason, but did not specify it.
"Do you want to hit and kill an innocent passerby while driving at high speed, and then go to jail? Although it is not necessarily the case, with the help of the legal team hired by Lex Group, you may only be considered to have a mental problem, and be acquitted, and sent to a nursing home with favorable conditions, where you will stay for a few months or so."
"But no matter what, this will become a conspicuous stain on your life resume."
"You know, your dad still thinks that the Luthor family can have a president."
Luke joked with a smile. He remembered Lex-Luthor in a certain timeline, and it seemed that he had actually been president.
It is said that the other party's catchphrase is "No one knows Superman better than me", he likes to play the accordion, and he talks about the fate of all mankind at every turn...
Wait, something seems wrong?
Suddenly he was confronted by a certain blond commander.
"...President."
Lex suddenly fell silent.
Like Clark, he is in some kind of rebellious phase.
He does not take the lessons of his fathers seriously and is confident in his own abilities.
While longing for freedom, they hate external constraints.
To put it simply, it's the second grade.
"He always likes to plan my future, but he never asks me what I think."
Lex snorted, feeling seriously dissatisfied with his father's paternalistic and powerful style.
In comparison, the young Godfather in front of him seemed much more tolerant.
This is one of the reasons why Lex sincerely respects each other.
"If you want to show off your skills and prove yourself, then you have to make some achievements."
Luke There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the firelight in the fireplace illuminated the face half-darkly.
"When others see you, they no longer call you 'Lionel-Luthor's son', but Lex-Luthor. Only then can you successfully get rid of your father's shadow and exist as an independent individual."
Lex thought thoughtfully, he indeed had the idea of establishing his own business.
I came to this town not only for a vacation, but also to start with those abandoned factories.
The meteorite rain seventeen years ago destroyed many people's lives and even destroyed the town's industrial development.
This is a good opportunity to regroup and achieve greater success.
"Godfather, what do you think I should do?"
Lex humbly ask for advice.
Sitting in front of him was Metropolis's most famous young upstart, a genius investor who even his own father admired.
To use a word often mentioned by outside media, it is "a person who foresees the future."
"Agriculture and manufacturing are the economic pillars of Kansas. There are many farms and ranches in the town, but there is a lack of related industries, such as food processing, meat processing and other manufacturing plants."
Luke curled his lips and said casually.
"Acquire those abandoned factories, reopen them, and put them into operation."
"At that time, it will not only provide enough jobs for the town, win praise from the city government, and select an honorary title such as 'Top Ten Outstanding Youth', but also use the real industry to radiate into deeper and wider areas."
Lex's eyes lit up. He used to be more involved in the financial securities market and did not have a deep understanding of this experience.
"Godfather, do you have any ideas? We can work together!"
The young man's mind is spinning very fast, and his father will definitely not allow him to "act wildly", but it will be different if he involves Godfather and borrows his name.
"I don't like to touch money, and I'm even less interested in money, Lex."
Luke waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "My happiest days were when Metropolis lived in the basement and earned 91 US dollars a month."
"..."
Lex was speechless. He was used to the strange words that came out of Godfather's mouth.
For example, "Set a small goal this year to earn 100 million", "Making money is just a casual thing, money brings me less than 5% happiness", "I am face-blind, I can't tell whether those Hollywood female stars are beautiful or not" and so on.
"Godfather, then you are here just for vacation?"
Lex still didn't give up. He didn't think that a big shot like Luke, whose time was precious, would go to this backward and conservative town to relax.
"I'm here to inspect and collect meteorites."
Luke shrugged and said softly.
"You should also know that this town was previously called 'Creamed Corn Capital' until the meteorite rain that shocked Kansas. Now it has been renamed 'Meteorite Land'. This is all a means to increase its reputation and attract tourists."
"But no matter what, there are indeed a lot of residual meteorites here."
He has already selected and convened a group of archaeological teams, and will soon be exploring various parts of the town to collect meteorite fragments.
If you think about it carefully, Clark is really unlucky.
As Kryptonian, he actually lives in a small town full of Kryptonite.
"I never knew, Godfather, that you were interested in archeology and meteorites."
Lex is a little surprised, although to the outside world, Luke does have some strange hobbies.
For example, the female celebrity who collects stamps Hollywood.
The targets include those who have been popular like Jodie Foster, Sharon Stone, and Demi Moore.
There are also people like Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron who are not famous at the moment.
The most surprising thing is that he also has a special hobby of investing in movies and making guest appearances.
"It's normal for hobbies to expand appropriately."
Luke smiled. He could explain why the American comic studio was suddenly turned into a Hollywood playboy script.
First of all, it's because before my little cousin arrived on Earth, his life was relatively boring and he had little fun.
As we all know, DC Universe is built and changed around Superman, and Clark-Kent is the top priority - although he always loses to the screenwriter's father-I Always Have a Plan-Batman, it does not hinder the status of the little cousin.
Otherwise, Dr. Manhattan would not have been particularly interested and conducted unprecedented observation experiments.
A world without Superman means there are no superheroes and super villains.
Therefore, in order to pass the time, Luke can only develop personal interests out of his love for film art.
Moreover, he is very principled and falls in love with every female star overnight.
Even if a few of them appreciate their skills, Luke will never miss them.
Therefore, Hollywood also left a famous name in the circle of "heartfelt arsonist".
"Okay, Lex, let's stop talking before dinner."
Luke stopped the topic, stood up and said.
He guessed that Clark, who returned home, would continue to question his adoptive father Jonathan about his identity because of the car accident.
At that time, it should be the opportunity for cousin Krypton to make his debut.
"My silly little cousin, it's time to get down to business."
Luke thought with a smile.
