Gotham Dark Godfather

By the way, just when Riddler Nimago was still worried about how to make money, Lex Technology Company, far away in the metropolis, had already held a grand press conference.An in-depth exchange was held on the topic of the future direction of the group after Luther was released from prison.

Like most of the time, Luther's bald head was shiny, as if it had been waxed, and he greeted the reporters present with a spring breeze, making some harmless jokes by the way.It's hard to imagine that this guy accurately named all the reporters present. For a while, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After all, Lois Lane, Luthor's old enemy, went to Gotham to be in charge of entertainment programs, leaving almost no one in Metropolis still in the mood to confront the Lex Group.The scene was quite lively, especially after Luther announced the next step of the group's artificial intelligence research and development plan, the company's shares immediately rose sharply.

After all, in just a few decades, Lex Group has become a large company that is not inferior to Wayne Group. It naturally has its own outstanding skills. The accumulation of science and technology alone is the top existence of mankind.Otherwise, the wealth that Wayne Group has cultivated for generations would not be caught up so easily by Luther.Now that the new research and development plan has been announced, it is like giving investors a shot in the arm, announcing that the extremely smart Luther is back on the stage again.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter finally asked some innuendo questions.

"Mr. Luthor, this time your illegal arms group transformed into the artificial intelligence industry. Is it because Superman defeated you and sent you to prison that you changed your past and transformed?"

This question is basically a slap in the face. It is well known that Luthor has an almost crazy obsession with Superman and has advocated the alien threat theory more than once.He even secretly developed forbidden weapons to deal with Superman.Of course, the final result was that he was beaten by Superman and sent to prison.

At this moment, this topic was brought up to rub salt into Luther's wounds. The reporters present could not help but hold their breath, waiting for Luther's answer.

"Haha, what a good question. Are you Charles from the Daily Planet? I didn't expect that even after Lois Lane was seconded, your newspaper still adheres to her past traditions~ It's really nostalgic." Luther shrugged with a smile. , the words caused a burst of laughter from the reporters present.

You must know that in the past, it was Louise who came forward to embarrass Luther with various tricky problems. It is no wonder that Luther would have such a sigh, and as a joke, it resonated with the reporters present.

"Okay, actually I do want to thank the Son of Steel. Through fighting with him, I suddenly realized something. The reason why humans can dominate this planet and stand at the top of the food chain is not relying on competition. The cheetah's faster speed is not due to its strength that is stronger than that of the silverback orangutan. The emergence of iron tools, the invention of gunpowder, and the continuous advancement of science and technology are the keys to the continuous progress of our ancient civilization." Luther said enthusiastically said:

"To a certain extent, I have to thank Superman. He corrected my wrong ideas in the past and tried to compete with him in areas that humans are not good at. This is indeed an approach that deviates from the course of our human history. Well, , I would like to ask Miss Louise to help me hand over a letter of thanks to him when I have time."

Not many people echoed Luther's cold joke this time.Although he kept saying that he wanted to thank Superman, everything between the lines was full of aggression.He still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​putting humanity first, and has a vague intention of changing directions and continuing to fight against Superman.

As if feeling the change in the atmosphere, Luther changed the topic and said with a smile:

"But having said that, in addition to thanking Superman, I also want to thank a strange friend! It was him who resolutely sold his fortune and chose to invest in us when Lex Technology Company was in turmoil! Even though the money was not a lot, This kind of unwavering trust is the most perfect gift I have received - Zhou Hao from Gotham. Thank you for choosing to never leave us when we are most critical. I will always be grateful for your support. I will never forget that Lex Group will also be eager to serve you in the future!”

The reason why I say this is largely because Luther's company was in such a miserable state.The backbone was imprisoned, offending the most popular son of God in the world, and the entire group faced the crisis of being disintegrated.In this case, many shareholders and employees immediately drew a clear line with Luther and turned their shares into cash before the ship sank, for fear that the value would depreciate in another second.

But at this time, an ordinary auxiliary police officer far away in Gotham invested all his savings in the Lex Group without hesitation. He even borrowed a large amount of money from the black market for this and almost got filled in the cement and thrown into the police station. sea.Therefore, although this contribution was not much, in the eyes of Luther when he was in trouble, it was as warm as providing help in times of need, so much so that he, an old and cunning man, was a little touched by Zhou Hao's original behavior.

Of course, from God's perspective now, Zhou Hao's efforts back then were worth it. Lex Group's stock price skyrocketed after Luther was released from prison, and will continue to appreciate in the future.Especially when viewed in light of Zhou Hao's series of operations, risking one's life to buy stocks was indeed a far-sighted move.

Although no one will know, all this is actually a suffocation operation by Zhou Hao's host's predecessor under the deception of his agent.

Just as Luther was singing praises to Zhou Hao at the press conference, on the hills outside Gotham, the ancestral home of the Wayne family was brightly lit.

Bruce Wayne rarely went out on patrol. Instead, he held a dance at home and invited many wealthy families in Gotham to come to the party.

In order to better conceal his identity, he must occasionally attend some such activities to prove that he has nothing to do with the bat that flies around at night.

But even though there was laughter in the hall, Bruce Wayne walked tiredly to the balcony and stood alone by the marble guardrail, staring at the cold moonlight with some melancholy.It was as if the noisy world behind him had nothing to do with him.

Alfred, the butler man, looked at his back and felt a little distressed. This man was burdened with so many things that he even forgot himself in the darkness.Even though Bruce now has a burly body, deep down, he is still the helpless and sad eight-year-old boy.

"Master Bruce, I wonder if you've heard about the recent news in Gotham." Alfred stepped forward and interrupted Batman's thoughts, hoping to divert the man's attention with other topics.
