Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Paige stared into Cal's face, and for a split second Cal was sure she was impressed by the offer.

But she didn't say anything in the end, just smiled.

She walked to the front and sat down. Carl watched her go away before turning around and walking towards the three people standing behind him watching him talking with Peggy.

He stopped beside Lex without hesitation.

"What do you mean Peggy is going to die?" Tony was asking Lex aggressively, "How did you know? Why didn't I get any news?"

"Keep calm, Tony, it's not a secret, it's just that you never cared about it before." Lex said lightly, "Ms. Carter's health has never been good. In recent years, she has been hospitalized several times. She issued a critical illness notice three times, but each time she survived miraculously."

"Now that the Stark couple have passed away, she looks fine, but she has collapsed mentally. Maybe she won't be able to survive next time." Bruce said.

Tony grimaced and said nothing.

The two coffins were parked in front of the church, and the priest was already in place. When the time came, the funeral officially began. Tony stood at the front, listening to the words of praise from the priest with a blank expression.

Carl didn't want to think too much about how the ceremony went. When Tony was digging with a shovel, he finally couldn't stand the atmosphere at the scene. He quietly withdrew from the crowd and walked to the side alone to breathe.

Lex followed.

"Have you thought about your own death, Lexi?" Carl asked him without looking back.

"No, Honey, never thought about it," Lex said without hesitation.

"So... what about your parents?"

This time Lex pondered for a while before answering after deliberation: "Think about it, think about it many times."

"What's it like?" Carl asked him.

The sheer curiosity and audacity in his tone is so vile, it's like neither of them are dead parents.

Krex also sounds like he's talking about other people: "I was young when my mother died, and it felt like I lost something that I didn't seem to have much at all; I grew up a lot when my father died. , I am deeply saddened and disappointed by his passing."

"Why?" Karl asked him.

It wasn't a reasonable question, but it was Carl, so Lex didn't feel offended.

He just pondered for a few seconds, thinking about how to use the tone to say what he really wanted to say.

"I am very sorry and disappointed that he died in his hospital bed and not by my hands."

This is from the heart, and the tone and tone are very sincere, although the statement itself is like a joke full of black humor.

He's so gentle and open...why can't he be so gentle and open all the time?

Maybe it was because I wasn't fair and honest enough with him.

I've never been fair and honest enough with him.

Carl is well aware that he always looks at Lex with wariness, even in the most ambiguous moments between them.

But Lex's character, his desire to control and destroy by nature, his contempt and indifference to those small people by nature, his disregard for individual life and his unscrupulous arrogant attitude, some secrets that he is indeed doing The activities of sowing dissension make it extremely difficult to trust wholeheartedly.

And Karl just couldn't trust someone wholeheartedly.

He doesn't even believe in himself, which is why he gave Bruce a piece of kryptonite that could kill him.

"Do you hate him? He treats you very badly? I remember you said he was a tyrant." Carl asked like an ordinary person, he didn't express any opinion on what Lex said just now, just ignored the past lightly, " But... you keep talking about your father, Lexie, do you love him or hate him?"

He pretended not to understand Lex's strong desire to "kill his father", so Lex didn't say much about the topic.

"I don't like to talk about my dad, Honey, throughout my childhood and teenage years, he was like a crazy man who demanded of me anything he wanted, disregarding my personal wishes, disregarding my personal Feelings, ignoring all my claims and wills, in his eyes I am probably just a tool with his blood, a booth for him to show off his crown." He said, with a very slight pause in his tone And neurotic, "Anything about him makes me feel...too much, honey, he makes me feel too much."

But you kept everything related to him in your home, kept everything that bears his traces, and when you go home, you will remember him through the exact same furnishings as before he died, as if he was still in your house Same as around.

Carl turned his head to look at Lex, and Lex quietly looked ahead, rarely returning Carl's gaze.His eyebrows twitched slightly, trying to suppress his emotions.

He smelled mad and sad.

Cal can't be sure whether he loves or hates his father, just as he's never really been sure whether Lex loves or hates him.

Perhaps for Lex, the two feelings are one.

All he knows about Lex is just silent attention. He captures the traces left by Lex in countless parallel worlds, and then compares them with his Lex. The information between them will not be confused, but his feelings will be confused.

"Lexie," he whispered.

At this moment, only calling Lex's name can make him feel a little real.

"What about you?" Lex said, "I never asked you about your parents, honey, but today might be the last time we'll be able to tell each other -- miss today and we'll never get to talk again About our dead parents."

Perhaps today is our last chance to confess to each other.

Carl's heart skipped a beat. This level of panic is dangerous for a Kryptonian. It took almost all of his control to keep himself from flying away in a panic.

"My parents... my father and mother..." Carl paused, as if lost in long memories, "they loved me very much. Yes, they didn't come home very much, but they loved me very much, every day We all talk to each other, and now that I think about it, I can't remember what we said. We just talked and the time passed."

Time passed like this, as if nothing had happened, and it seemed as if everything had happened.

They stood silently for a while, Carl stretched out his arms, and gently lifted Lex into his arms, and Lex let him do so without any resistance.

Bruce was still standing in the line, Tony had already stepped aside, and the next burial job did not belong to him.

"I'm sorry," Bruce said to Tony.

"Shut up," Tony answered him simply.

All just stood around, mourning, real or fake.

The entire burial process was quiet and solemn, and people were able to laugh out loud at the mourning party afterwards because of interesting things related to Howard and Maria, but it is still necessary to remain sad during the burial.

Indeed, no one can laugh out loud on this occasion.

"If you need help, you're welcome." Those were Bruce's last words before he left.

Tony raised his eyelids and glanced at him, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "I see."

Turning around, he contacted Carl and said, "There are a lot of things on my side that need experienced people to deal with. Alexander borrowed from me, and there is a gap in my funds. Please help me make up for it for the time being."

"Okay." Carl answered him, "What are you busy with? At this time, you are still pushing all the work to others? Tony, even I know what some directors in your company are thinking. Your position is very dangerous, but It doesn't matter, Lexi and I will help you, and Brucey will definitely not sit idly by, and your secretary is really good, remember to give her a raise-I am worried about your status, are you sure You have no questions?"

Tony hung up the phone without a word.

"Jarvis!" he yelled.

"Yes, sir. All the funds required for the experiment have arrived, and the laboratory has been prepared and can be used at any time."

"I don't need to be disturbed when I'm working. I refuse to answer all calls and messages, and don't send me any news." Tony said, "No one knocks on the door and they are not allowed to enter my work room until I come out by myself."

"Yes, sir."

Tony took a couple of deep breaths, directed his little robotic hand to bring him a few cases of beer into the workshop, made sure that there was enough food in the refrigerator in the laboratory to sustain his life, and then simply locked the door.

The whole world was shut out by him. From this moment on, he only had science in his heart, not even himself.

"Come on, come on, come on," he murmured, "don't even think about it, just get it done."

He plunged into work.

Stark Corporation, a huge business empire, was handed over to his young female secretary Pep and Aleksander, the president secretary of the Ayre Group. The real Stark heir was doing experiments in his own small world. And Pep and Alexander are busy around him.

Of course, the person who is battered is mainly Pep.

Alexander is familiar with this kind of car, he has already experienced it once, and it is also because of the great help of him and the Ayre Group, and the vague support and maintenance of the Lex Group and the Wayne Group, since the funeral, there has been no Tony appeared in public.Only then did Stark successfully obtain what should belong to him, the actual control of the Stark Group.

and the vast majority of Stark Corporation shares.

Speaking of it, this is also a thing that shocked everyone's jaws:

When a world-class company is undergoing tremendous turmoil, the first thing the other three world-class giants below this company do is not to bite it hard, but Quickly helped it control the stock price and the overall situation.

How sick is this!

The people who eat melons are full of sighs. Some people say that they did not expect the old Stark to have some knowledge, and he must have made arrangements for his only son; some people say that Tony.Stark's interpersonal relationship is so good, everyone was misled by the boring tabloids, I really thought Tony.Stark doesn't have many friends in the wealthy family; some people say that Stark must have promised something to the other three companies in private, otherwise everyone is talking about business, and it is impossible to help him for no reason...

Until a press release jumped into everyone's field of vision with alarming speed.

Daily Planet's headline of the day: "Carl.Al and his "boyfriends"".

The people who eat melons are enlightened, right!Carl.Al is famous for being popular and having many friends. Tony is the only friend who is well-known to the public. It is obvious that Carl is contributing to this matter!

That's the title... Doesn't seem right?

Is it to save space?Why not write "male friends"?

Then the readers realized later that this piece of news, which is exquisitely written, well-analyzed, and looks quite serious, came from the Entertainment Channel of the Planetary Daily.
