As Superman’s Younger Brother, I Became a Native of the Motherland
Chapter 123
Eric glanced in the direction of his eldest brother's room, "Superman is someone else."
"Well, maybe it's Superman, maybe it's an alien, maybe it's an angel or a devil, anyway..."
Louise smiled, "I feel like I've touched the door to another world. Did you cause the 'sleepy day' in the Metropolis? Eric Kent."
"What 'sleep day'?"
"All adults in the metropolis are in a coma. Although they don't know what happened, after seeing your ability, I fully doubt that you are the source and clue of everything. Without exposing your privacy, I will Can you tell me what I want to know?"
The smile on the corner of Louise's mouth remained unchanged, and she continued to take another step closer to Eric.
"no!"
Eric reached out to hold Louise's arm, frowned and said, "Have you not heard the story of Icarus?"
"Don't try to get close to the sun, or it will burn your skin! It may even make you fall into the water and die."
After releasing Louise's wrist, Eric opened the bathroom door to leave.
Martha, who happened to be not far from the door, saw Eric in the bathroom and Louise behind him.
Eric was thinking about how to explain it to his mother, or just fool him.
Louise, who was standing behind him, interrupted his thoughts.
"Hey! Mrs Kent!"
The smiling Louise greeted Martha.
Martha's face immediately turned odd.
......
Metropolis, early morning.
Luther Building, where Lex's father Lionel is reading a newspaper in his office.
The news in the newspaper made his brows scrunched up.
As a member of the "sleepy day", while being controlled by brain waves, he also peeped into some dark existences in the spiritual world.
This gradually started to change his thinking.
"It's a book that Lex loves very much. It's written by his friend, Smallville's writer, and Kent's farm cowboy, Eric Kent."
Luther put down the newspaper, picked up a book in his hand, and said to a middle-aged man standing beside him.
"Dr. Swan, do you know anything about this?"
"Actually, if I take a little time out of my research, I can still do some hobbies. But obviously, reading books that have nothing to do with my scientific research is a hobby that I rarely do."
Dr. Swan said he had not read Lex's book.
"Yes, it's normal. People who are engaged in scientific research generally like books with rigorous reasoning and logical relationships, and have a critical attitude towards this kind of paradoxical, fantasy and conjecture mixed existence. My previous thoughts and yours Same, but I'm starting to see that occultism and science are not two trains that never meet on the side of the road."
Lionel stood up, "Lex recognized this problem earlier than me, I know everything about him. Heaven, Tokyo, Egypt... He has been to these places, and I know he is in Egypt formed an expedition."
"I...I don't know anything about that."
Dr. Swan said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Of course, you're a scientific researcher, always in the lab, even though you're funded by Lex. I trust you, Dr. Swan. But . Always look up at the sky, are you right?"
Lionel stared at Dr. Swan, a powerful aura enveloped the other party, "I have always used my method to temper Lex to make his willpower stronger. But we also have differences. In his opinion, We became opponents."
"Heh, I've never heard of an opponent who doesn't duel with a pistol and a sword. I wouldn't raise a pistol and a sword against him, but he kept trying to duel me, knocking me down as an enemy."
Lionel's eyes grew sharper, staring at each other, "Let's start a further partnership, Dr. Swan. I know what you're researching, green meteorites, some unknown radiation source... Lex's Research results, we can share, it's a win-win for us."
"I...I'll think about it."
"My time is limited, but I'm sure you'll make the right choice."
After sending off the hesitant Dr. Swan, Lionel called the front desk, "Is Eric Kent here?"
Chapter 150: The Angry Savage
"Welcome, Eric!"
After seeing Eric come in, Lionel got up and shook hands with Eric.
"I know your parents have some prejudice against me, so I'm a little surprised that you can get rid of the grievances and meet me. But...not the surprise of surprise, but the surprise of approval."
Lionel showed his communication skills, "Lex said you are a genius, no doubt about it. But essentially we are the same kind of people, I can feel it, that's why I say 'identify'."
Facing Lionel's "compliment", Eric showed no expression.
I felt a little tired of the other party asking him to meet again and again, so I had to come to the Luther Building in the Metropolis to see what the old guy had in mind.
"If that's what you're calling me to say, sorry, Mr. Luther, I don't think it's worth the trip."
Eric said in a bad tone.
He has never been very keen on dealing with old foxes like Lionel.
Because he was afraid that his patience was not enough, he immediately tore his face impulsively and performed physical destruction on the other party.
"Of course not, we have a wider ocean-like conversation space, but before that, proper wading is necessary. Since you don't like it, let's get straight to the point, Eric, I hope you can help I found Lex."
Lionel stated his purpose.
"Why do you think I can do it? Isn't Lex dead?"
"Because I believe in the power of spirit!"
Lionel walked to the window, pointed to the high-rise buildings outside and said: "Our sight can be blocked by these tall buildings, but the power of the spirit will not. No matter how far the barrier is, the power of the spirit will penetrate these ordinary coverings. ."
Then he turned to face Eric, "Before Lex's accident, he admired your spirit very much. He thought that a person with a barren spiritual world could not write such a vast world anyway. At some point , his spirit is even connected to your work. At first I thought it was nonsense."
Lionel walked up to Eric and looked him in the eye, "Until something like 'Sleepy Day' happened, many people said they saw the existence in your book, I think... Maybe Lex is not lying, you may really be the unsightly sun!"
Seeing that Eric remained silent, Lionel returned to the manager's chair with an expression of control.
"Lex's plane crashed, and I have good reason to suspect that he is still alive. Helen's words are not credible, but I believe one thing is that she did not dare to do anything to Lex directly."
Lionel said to Eric: "If you can get Lex back, I'll help you get rid of those people in the media and the FBI. You know, you have attracted the attention of certain forces, these people are not good The existence of sympathy. If you are a little careless, you will easily be caught by them.”
"And I can help you, help you fend off the harassment of these people. You know I'm a relationship businessman besides being a spurned capitalist. You get Lex back, and I'm sheltering Kent Farms, very fair. trade?"
"certainly."
Eric was silent for a moment.
Then walked up to Lionel, "Sounds like a fair deal, and I have good reason to agree, but..."
Eric's words changed, "I'm very suspicious of your purpose, Mr. Luther."
"what?"
He stretched out his hand and pressed Lionel's right hand at once, "In order to prevent your exuberant curiosity from spying on my family, I need to give you a little warning."
The Star Staff he carries provides Eric with a burst of energy.
Hold this energy in the palm of your hand and pass it along Lionel's arm.
Lionel instantly felt a warm current that spread to all parts of his body along his arm.
He didn't feel comfortable because of the warmth, instead he felt a tingling sensation.
"what is this?"
The business tycoon of the metropolis is no longer as calm and sure as before, with a horrified expression on his face.
The airflow followed the flow of blood in the body, circulated to the upper body, and finally stopped at his eyes.
Lionel suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, his vision was completely dark, and he couldn't see anything!
Stretching out his hand in panic, Lionel stood up and shouted at Eric, "What did you do to me?"
"Didn't you say that I am the sun that can't be looked directly at? The end result of looking directly at the sun is to burn blind."
Eric glanced at Lionel, who stumbled forward like a blind man with his hand outstretched.
"Our deal is still valid, and when Lex Luthor returns, it's time for your eyes to shine again."
After speaking, turn around and leave.
"Mr. Luther, you'd better hope your luck is good enough."
"You...what have you done to me? My eyes...!"
Lionel, who stumbled forward, yelled at Eric, "Come back! You can't do this to me!"
While groping forward, he accidentally bumped into the trash can in the room, and Lionel fell to the ground with a bang.
The expensive suit he was wearing was pulled by him, making a crisp "tear" sound and tearing most of it apart.
Suddenly falling to the ground, Lionel let out a painful groan.
At this time, Eric had already left the Luther Enterprise Group Building.
......
"You're sure you read it right, Martha."
After breakfast, Jonathan and Martha were whispering in the living room.
"Yes, it just happened, in the bathroom..."
Martha touched her growing belly, "Although it seems a little weird."
"I called and asked Chloe, Louise is indeed her cousin, and she is from a famous family."
Jonathan had just returned from stacking corn stalks in the barn, wiped his sweat, and said to Martha.
"Famous House?"
Martha's eyebrows were raised slightly. "What kind of prestigious family? Rich or congressman? This looks like her..."
Martha was about to say "savage," but quickly changed her mind.
"It doesn't look like her family style."
"Possibly, but education varies from family to family. Louise's father was a general in the Department of Defense."
Jonathan said something that surprised Martha.
"General?"
"Yes, General Samsung. Chloe told me."
"Hey, Mr. Kent, Mrs. Kent."
The two were talking when the object of their discussion—Louis’ voice came from behind.
"Thank you for your hospitality, I'm leaving."
Louise, wearing jeans and a white shirt, stood in front of them, "Although I have some nostalgia for family life here, I have to go. My car was not damaged very badly, so the insurance company paid me, um ...probably the least amount of money I've ever had to buy a car, and as compensation they can send me back in a Porsche for free."
"Yes... is it?"
Talking about others behind their backs, the main lord suddenly appeared, and Martha said with a guilty conscience: "You can have lunch here before leaving."
"Save it for next time, Mrs. Kent, and I'll be back again."
Louise said with a smile.
Hearing the other party say come back again, Martha and Jonathan looked at each other.
"After I go home to deal with some things, I will stay at Chloe's house for a while, and I will inevitably disturb you when the time comes."
"Oh, it's time, I have to go. Sorry, Mr. Kent, Mrs. Kent."
After speaking to the two of them, Louise turned and left.
"Clark."
Martha said to Clark, who was standing beside her, "You should act like a gentleman and send Louise for a gift."
Clark nodded beside him.
His initial impression of Louise was not very good.
Compared with this kind of strong, assertive, and difficult to control girl, he prefers Lana's gentle and indifferent girl.
"Do you need me to drive you, Miss Lane?"
After going out, Clark asked Louise.
