[Comprehensive British and American] The villain is beaten daily

In the center of the metropolis, there is a landmark building.

The building was originally tall, and the planet-shaped sculpture on the top of the building is even bigger and eye-catching.

—The office building of the Daily Planet.

Since the development of the Internet, "Planet Daily" is still the leader of print media, the top-selling newspaper in the United States, and Clark Kent's work unit.

Clark Kent is a good friend of Lex Luthor. In addition to being a little reporter who needs to write reports every day, he is also a big blue superhero who will appear when he hears the call—Superman.

Clark is still on his way to work today.

As Superman, he has many superpowers.However, it is even more difficult to use superpowers to become mediocre among ordinary people.It took him a long time to learn to control his superpowers, and today he is crowded into the subway to work as usual, calculating when he will be able to buy a new car with his pitiful salary.

Uh... Don't mention Wayne, Bruce said that he would sell him a used car for one dollar.

The poor and simple town boy looked at the flamboyant navy blue convertible sports car, let alone driving it, he really didn't dare to touch it.

To be honest, as Superman, he is not short of wealth, but Clark has long been used to this kind of busy and fulfilling life, and he does not intend to "cheat" at all, just relying on wages to survive.

It's late autumn, almost winter.

The sun has already risen high, the sun is shining brightly, shining on the body, and it can also bring a little warm comfort.

Clark had just stepped out of the subway station when he heard a voice calling for Superman.

Superman has super hearing.

If he still does not control his superpowers, Clark probably will never be at peace.In order to give himself a little chance to breathe, Clark usually controls himself, covers the scope of his hearing to Metropolis, and sets the keyword as his own name.

At this moment, someone is calling him, someone needs him.

He always wanted to save people and provide help, so he immediately changed his uniform and followed the sound to find him in a few seconds.

When he was flying in mid-air, Clark suddenly froze for a moment.

and many more!

That place... Luther's house? !

***

The sun was still shining brightly, but the room was eerily silent for a moment.

In the projection, Lex's face is expressionless, his eyes are deep, and his eyes are a little deep when he looks at Lydia.He looks a bit fierce, no longer with that "good brother" look.

"Lydia," he said, "have I been too kind to you?"

"Perhaps it is," his sister said to him, very earnestly, "I am too stupid. Indeed, as I have always been afraid, your kindness to me is conditional, and you will take it back anytime and anywhere. .”

Lex didn't speak.

It's just that the glass cracks in the test tube he just got in his hand can be clearly seen in the lens.

The red-haired girl suddenly smiled at him.

She seemed to be the same as before, but there was no longer the deep dependence and expectation in the soft gray-green eyes.The corners of her lips were raised a little bit, the rims of her eyes were reddish, and the light gray grain at the corners of her eyes also changed its position with the moving expression. It was still cute and soft, but it was no longer the timid and immature Lydia at the beginning.

"Lex," she said, "bye."

Following her smile, a strong and reliable figure approached from a distance, and then the cape rolled, and the big blue man stopped by the window.

The robot remained motionless, and Lydia reached out to open the window under Lex's gaze.

The girl didn't cry.

She just opened her arms to the person his brother hated the most, and in a soft, pleading voice she spoke to Superman:

"Superman, please, get me out of here."

Clark: "..."

His eyesight is very good, so good that he can see Lex Luthor who crushed the test tube in the projection at a glance.

Luthor knew the flaws of Superman's perspective, and all the labs had lead-coated walls that blocked his vision.Clark wasn't sure where Lex was now, but he was sure that Lydia and Lex had had a fight.

Superman: Is it bad for me to get involved in the family war?

Standing quietly outside the window, the imposing Superman actually thought this way uncertainly in his heart.

So he nodded to Lydia with a serious expression, and then looked at Lex's projection: "Luthor."

The bald and green-eyed man smiled ironically at Superman, the screen flickered and the projection was turned off.

Lydia didn't look back either, she didn't want to fall back into that helpless sadness, she still stretched out her arms, stubbornly waiting for Superman to pull her up.

Clark: "..."

Are all the Luthor family so capricious?

He couldn't help sighing.

"you……?"

"Lex won't let me out, this is illegal imprisonment," the little girl said crisply, "Take me out, Superman."

"—please!"

Lydia is different from the last time I saw her.

The little girl looked a little more mature than at first.Clark could see the strength after growing up in her eyes.

He sighed again, and under Lydia's persistent gaze, he lifted the little girl out of the window.

The ginger-red hair was blown wildly by the autumn wind, and the girl's arms wrapped around his neck directly.Superman put his arms around her waist and carefully opened a little distance, but Lydia leaned hard on his chest, and her ears pressed against his chest through the uniform.

Clark coughed, "Where are you going?"

A look of confusion flashed in Lydia's eyes.

She...she didn't know.

Where should I go?

They were suspended in mid-air, and she was pressed against Superman's generous chest, which actually brought her a sense of security.

Lydia suddenly found that she had nowhere to go.

The metropolis is so big, she couldn't even find a place to go.Lydia Lexie's name had long since disappeared from the school, and the villa was also given to her by Lexie.If Lydia leaves Lex, she really has nothing.

Probably because the blankness on Lydia's face was so distressing that Clark could only call her name again.

"Lydia?"

The girl raised her head in a daze, her eyes fixed on his chin: "Superman... that... can you lend me some money?"

Clark: "???"

What happened to the little local tyrant who told me last time, "Don't worry, I have money"?

Poor Lydia certainly didn't have the money to borrow from Superman.

Although Clark's conditions are difficult, it's not that he doesn't want to help Lydia, it's just that Superman's uniform... has nowhere to put money.

Lydia ends up just pulling on Superman's cape and letting him place herself in an alley near the police station.

The little girl had nothing but a thin pajamas, and even her shoes were forgotten in the haste.She thanked Superman in a low voice, watched the big blue man fly away, the billowing red cape disappeared from sight, and slowly sat down leaning against the wall.

She didn't go to the police station for help, she just hugged herself tightly: 【...I suddenly feel that Superman is pretty good too. 】

System: [Hey, hey, I don't even look at whose male god it is. 】

Lydia: [Oh?Is it related to you? 】

System: [Hmph!Then do you want to get Luther's points then?Although the basic points are given to you because of an apology, you can farm monsters. 】

Lydia: […]

【talk later. 】

Even in a metropolis known for its brilliance, there are shadows in the corners of tall buildings.

In the shadows, cold everywhere, Lydia hugged her shoulders tightly and buried her head in her knees.

[System, this week... what should I do? 】

The system fell silent.

Yes, what should I do?Lydia is penniless and has no ability to protect herself.Even if it can decide not to deduct points for Lydia, Lydia is now a pitiful little girl again.

Just when the girl and the system were lost in thought at the same time, a shy and surprised voice sounded: "Lexi?"

The red-haired girl raised her head in a daze, and the man was standing at the entrance of the alley with his back to the light. The sun seemed to have plated a layer of gold on his body, making him extremely radiant: "Why are you here?"

"Kent?"

***

The appearance of Clark Kent seemed to Lydia to be a god descended from heaven.

His black hair was so long that it was about to cover his eyes, he was tall and strong but he looked a little shy, and he was wearing a suit jacket that didn't fit well, but in the eyes of Lydia at the moment, he was the best person in the world.

Clark bought a set of clothes for Lydia, and didn't forget the shoes. He also took her to a nearby store and ordered hot milk and donuts for her.

The little girl sipped the sweet milk one mouthful at a time, and secretly glanced at him: "Thank you."

Clark scratched his hair and smiled shyly: "It's okay, thank you last time."

He paused, and asked her tentatively, "Are you quarreling with your family?"

Not wanting to answer the question, Lydia blinked and took a bite of the donut.

She licked the icing from the corner of her mouth, and changed the subject: "Don't you need to go to work, today?"

Clark's smile froze.

He coughed lightly, and said truthfully: "I said it and ran the news, but I have to be careful, and don't get caught."

Lydia nodded obediently, with a smile in her eyes.

It's good that she can meet someone here who can help her.

It seems that there is no harm in saving more people.

Lydia didn't know that Clark was not passing by but came to find her. She finally finished drinking the sweet warm milk and eating the last donut.

Now she has to make two plans.

She was used to living a hard life, and she felt that she was fine, but she couldn't say whether the pampered life had changed in the past two years.

Among other things, Lex did not embarrass her at all in terms of material conditions, on the contrary, he allowed her to enjoy too much that was once unattainable.

In the end, Lex left a strong mark in her life.

However, this time she and Lex had such a quarrel, and Lydia didn't want to use the money Lex earned for the time being, so she had to find a job here to support herself, and wait for her ability to recover;

Either... or borrow some money.

Lydia already knew her body.

Even in a metropolis with a low crime rate, the unemployment rate remains high. She may not be able to find a job smoothly, and her current physical condition may not be suitable for her to do a job that requires too much physical strength.

If you borrow money...

Lydia was sure she could afford it.

She is Lilith, and with Lilith's skill and ability, she can definitely pay back the money.

Lydia swallowed at the thought.

A pair of gray-green eyes were sincere and eager, looking at Clark expectantly.

"Clark."

She switched the address smoothly, and quietly approached:

"Well, can I borrow some money from you?"
