"Okay." Carl reluctantly agreed, but then he made a request, "Then I'll wait for you at your house."

With his head down, Andrew quietly moved away from them, until he was about to turn the corner.

A rough guy also has eyesight, he is not careful enough, and he is not stupid.

But Carl really wants to say that you don't need to back down at all. Lex is such a person, arrogant, narcissistic, self-righteous, and he wants the world to know how good he has.

He doesn't skimp on showing Carl.

"Okay, honey." Lex agreed without much hesitation, "You know the address, go straight. The voiceprint lock has already recorded your voice, and facial recognition has also added your permissions—my door is forever Open up for you, honey, and that will never change."

"Every door?" Carl smirked.

"Every door." Lex said unconsciously, "but you have to be careful, because some doors are very dangerous. Once you go in, there is absolutely no possibility of coming out."

"Oh I feel it, Lexi," Carl said sweetly, "but I'd love to die in it."

Lex took a deep look at Carl, then walked towards Moxie.

The black Hummer gradually disappeared at the end of the alley. Carl stood there for a while, feeling lost. Andrew waited silently until he heard the urgent voice of his subordinates in the headset, and then he hesitated to go forward, thinking of Don't tell your boss it's time to leave.

He is a retired mercenary who was determined to repay his kindness after being given a second life by Alexander. Unfortunately, Alexander did not need his protection, but Alexander's younger brother, Karl, lacked a driver.

So he became Carl's driver and usually lived in the building specially built for them in the main house of Al.

The job is very leisurely. Mr. Al, who doesn't like to appear in public, rarely goes out, and when he goes out, he usually chooses to drive his own car. As a driver and bodyguard, he always feels that he is just a cover, at most It can only be regarded as one belonging to Karl.Al accessories.

The more he gets along with Carl, the more he can feel this.

In fact, this situation is very strange, thanks to Joey.Thanks to Al's exaggerated and perverted indulgence to his only son, the whole world knows what kind of doting Carl grew up in.

It stands to reason that it is difficult for this kind of pampered young master not to look crooked. They will instinctively draw the attention of the people around them, and they don't care what others think.

Just like the two most famous playboys in the United States, his best friend, Tony.Stark and Bruce.Same as Wayne.

But Carl didn't have the slightest feeling of domineering.

Yes, many times he really doesn’t care about others’ opinions at all, but there is also a difference in not caring about others’ opinions, “Slap someone and don’t care about the other person’s opinion at all” and “Be with whoever you want to be with and be a little bit I don’t care about the eyes of outsiders.” The things represented are not the same at all.

Much of what people think about him is wrong, or at least a significant part of it is missing.

Perhaps it is precisely because he is an ordinary person closest to Karl that Andrew feels inexplicable awe of Karl.

He never told anyone else that sometimes, when he accidentally saw Carl's face in the rearview mirror, he felt a sense of familiarity.

This kind of awe and familiarity made him a little embarrassed when he approached Carl. He didn't know whether to tell Carl that there are powerful reporters blocking the neighborhood here, and it is about to cause a traffic jam. If you don't leave, it will be too late. .

"Let's go, Andrew." Unexpectedly, Carl said just before he spoke, "Don't go back to Metropolis, go to Nini's office."

The buildings of Stark Industries are not far from the venue of the ceremony, they are all located in Manhattan.

Less than half an hour later, Andrew parked the car downstairs at Stark Industries.The electronic eyes couldn't automatically recognize the unusual license plate number, but Jarvis, who could control the cameras in the entire building, noticed Carl and let them go.

Tony has been back in the office for a while.

When Carl walks up to him, he's flipping over the video of Carl and Lex kissing at the ceremony on the projector, which he presumably turned on when Jarvis told him Carl was coming.

Hearing the sound of Karl's approaching footsteps, Tony said angrily, "Hey, little prince, why are you still free to come to me right now? The reporters in New York City are too unprofessional, they didn't keep you —I thought you'd at least give them some revelations."

"The Daily Planet of the Metropolis has already revealed my relationship with Lex."

Carl had already expected this. After all, it was impossible for him and Lex’s movements to be concealed from those discerning reporters. For such a long time, there was no news about him and Lex, purely because of Alexander’s overt and secret warnings. and obstruction.

And he and Lex have a good sense of proportion.

Although the actions are intimate and there are many interactions, they are all maintained at a level between ambiguous and friendly. No media has found concrete evidence to prove that the relationship between them is unusual.

"Pep, are you here too?" Carl was really surprised when he saw Pep, "Aren't you working today?"

"Because Tony went to the awards ceremony, I specially set aside time to deal with the trouble he caused." Pep shrugged, handed the brewed coffee to Carl, and kept a cup in his hand , "As a result, I guess, no one thought that a place with Tony Stark would be able to be snatched by others."

She teased Carl anyway, but it was a friendly, friendly tease.

"You're a good match for Lex," she said to Carl, sincerely. "I've dealt with him..."

"Then you must not like him," Carl said. "He will make you suffer."

"In fact, the result was okay. I suffered a loss, and he didn't get much benefit." Pep smiled. "I can feel that he is a very cold person. Although it is hard to imagine him falling in love, but God, anyone would love to bless you just looking at you on TV."

After chatting with Carl for a while, she was summoned by a phone call, leaving Carl and Tony alone in the office.

Carl grabbed a chair from a corner and sat beside Tony, carefully observing Tony's skin:

"Your palladium poisoning is resolved?"

"Ah."

"It's really not like you to speak so concisely, can someone help?"

"..."

"Howard helped." Carl said affirmatively, "I said you two have been fighting for so many years, and you still haven't made up?"

"Don't worry about it," Tony whimpered.

Carl understood immediately: When will the father and son show such a shy expression?The shamelessness of the two of them must only be there when they subdue each other and say good things.

Now that he knew what probably happened, he stopped asking.

"What the hell are you thinking, little prince? It's about you and Luther's shitty thing." Tony said, "I noticed that Luthor's attitude towards Superman is not normal-he is behind many people who insult and oppose Superman Inspiration and encouragement. What are you thinking?"

"Relax, Nini." Carl patted Tony on the shoulder, "This is between me and him."

When he said this, Carl didn't let Tony see his expression.

Before those all-pervasive reporters had thought of finding Tony.Stark understood the situation, and Karl quickly left the Stark Industrial Building and returned to Metropolis.

Lex came back earlier than him.

After sending Mercy to his work, Lex pressed his fingers against the opaque wall behind his desk.

A translucent light scan pierced his pupils, and then a small password keyboard appeared, Lex entered a series of numbers, the password was correct, the command took effect, the wall opened, and a space of five square meters appeared in his In front of him, he stepped in calmly.

This is an elevator room. There is no floor number in the elevator, and there is no display screen to show where it is now. There is only a button for opening and closing the door that is quietly lit in red.

Lex waited calmly until the elevator doors reopened, and what appeared in front of him was a brand new place.

The silver-white walls, neat and orderly various translucent cultivation chambers and some high-tech equipment with no specific function are arranged on both sides of the road. There are countless buttons densely distributed in the platform, which is daunting at first glance.

Lex was used to such scenes.

He unhurriedly walked to the end of the path. At the end of the path, in a cylindrical training room large enough to accommodate two supermen standing side by side, a little boy who looked five or six years old closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully. .

There is a line of big bold characters written on the sign below the cultivation chamber.

"Conner" (Experiment/Connor)

Not long ago, Connor was only a few months old, and he was able to have a four-year-old biological age in a short period of time, thanks to the light that Lex specially developed for the clone that combined his own and Superman's genes, which can effectively accelerate his growth .

Theoretically speaking, the energy contained in that light is enough to make Connor grow up to fifteen or sixteen years old.

But Lex thought again and again and still didn't do that.

The reason he created Connor was to use him as a weapon to deal with Superman. The body of a teenager is indeed beneficial to his strength development, but it is detrimental to his intellectual development. Compared with direct knowledge instillation, human learning methods still have a lot of progress. At the same time, Lex was going to let Connor wake up from his sleep after a while, and give Connor an enlightenment education in person.

The list on the screen shows that Connor is in good condition, his body is good, his brain is active, and he is a healthy boy.

Lex stared intently at the little boy who was only a little higher than his knees for a few minutes, then turned his head and walked out of the laboratory.

He didn't lie to Carl.He does have an important appointment today.
