Louise called Lex half a minute after knowing the existence of this manuscript and said to him: "This manuscript has nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing, and I don't want it to pass the review-it's ours. Editor-in-Chief Perry thought it was well written! He also thought the title was hilarious!"

Lex was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and said, "I don't understand why you want to emphasize this to me, Miss Lane, this report is not your style at all, I know it well."

Yes, yes, you know it in your heart, but I don't know if you will blame me or not. After a few words of slander, Louise quickly found an excuse and hung up the phone.

Miss Mercy stood across from her boss, emboldening herself with a stack of papers in her arms.

But Lex didn't seem to be angry, he was still in a good mood, after reading the news, he was still smiling and flipping through the things he put on the computer.

"Mosy." He opened his mouth in a low and soft voice, as if talking suddenly, "How long have you been working with me?"

"Seven years, sir," replied Mercy quickly.

"It's been seven years. Seven years, is it enough for you to understand the Lex Corporation and Lex Luthor? Tell me, who do you think I am. Don't be psychologically stressed, just say, you know I won't be angry of."

"You're the smartest person I've ever met, Boss. You have wisdom beyond the reach of most people in the world, and you are good at all things that can be learned and understood. You are patient. You are strong-willed. You are the most incredible person .You are a modern-day Alexander the Great who will conquer all."

Lex's legal name is Alexander.Luther, but he prefers to be called Lex, just like Tony, whose real name is Antonio, prefers to be called Tony.

Mercy's compliment was no doubt a most exquisite compliment.

"But what?" Lex said quietly.

"No but, no turning point, boss. This is how I see you."

"But there's always a but, Mercy." Lex smiled, the sun shining on his face, filling the other half of his face with shadows, "You praised me as the immortal Alexander, but before Alexander's expedition Also untied the 'King Solomon Knot.' You know the allusion, don't you, Mercy?"

"Yes, boss."

As the most legendary monarch in the world, Alexander the Great has never been defeated in the 11 years of his life.His whole life is very dramatic, and there are countless legends about him, the most famous of which is King Solomon's Knot.

Hundreds of years ago, King Gordias of Virginia tied an intricate knot, and it was prophesied that whoever could untie it would become king of Asia.In the hundreds of years, countless people came and went, but none of them could untie the knot. The young Alexander the Great came, drew his sword and split it, and the mystery that had been kept for hundreds of years was solved. Alexander the Great Sure enough, he conquered the Asia region.

People call this knot the King Solomon Knot, and use it to refer to all difficulties.

"Superman—he is my King Solomon's Knot. He is all my problems. The only way to solve him is to uproot him and cut him off."

He finally made such a declaration, and Lex's voice trembled with excitement just to declare to Mercy his hostility and dislike of Superman.

"Yes, boss," Mercy said without hesitation.

Otherwise what would she say?When the boss is obviously in some kind of frenzy, she can only say yes to the boss.

"Watch it, Mercy, watch it, tomorrow's headlines will surprise you - well, well, I wouldn't have scheduled this for tomorrow, but today's headlines don't make me happy, So I thought, what's the best way to suppress a big news?" He smiled slightly, "BOOM! Another big news."

super news.

Moxie had a not-so-good premonition in her heart, this premonition was so strong, and it was even more ominous than the premonition that she had before working overtime for a month in a row because of Lex's random squandering of funds——

Did the boss do something that required her to work overtime this time?Does this time she have to work overtime for two months, or even three months?

Goodbye, Mercy thought deadpan, goodbye to my long, dark, thick hair.

Staying up late makes people lose their hair.

She secretly cursed the boss in her heart: One day, boss, you will lose your beautiful little curly hair.

If she could know what happened the next day... she would never think so!Absolutely not!

But who knows what the future holds?After feeling relieved secretly, Moxi resumed her conscientious nature, and obediently took away all the work that should belong to the boss but was actually handled by her.

Meanwhile, Carl drives to Xavier College.

He went to visit the Stark couple, but he was nominally invited by Professor X. The reason is very simple. Professor X has always relied on the ancestral property of the Xavier family to maintain the expenses of the college, but with the increasing number of mutants, the college He only goes out but not in, and he is already stretched. He invited Karl to seek financial assistance.

- Carl.Al is a world-renowned spokesperson for the stupid and rich.

Bringing his friends to help the rival Stark Corporation, his group of friends really agreed, this matter has been incredible to the point of setting a boring world record.

The presenter also sent Carl a gold-plated certificate.

However, in this whole incident, Carl's behavior didn't seem to be inconsistent with his own behavior. The young master of the Wayne family has always been a typical representative of inconspicuousness. It is not surprising that the two of them would lean over to help.

The most unbelievable thing in the whole thing was Lex.Luther's reaction.

He does have a considerable reputation in the metropolis, and he is definitely a model citizen of the metropolis in his words and deeds on weekdays. He is also a well-known philanthropist, but he is also really sophisticated in business and has a vicious vision. According to common sense, The Stark Group has experienced this level of turmoil, and he will definitely bite off a big piece of meat from this behemoth.

He also did something beneficial to the Lex Group. Taking advantage of the price falling below the new low in recent years, he bought a lot of shares from the board of directors, and also took away several middle-level backbones from Stark Corporation. However, after these small warm-up actions passed, the Lex Group stood still.

I don't know how many people were surprised by this.

They just don't understand the tragic fact that in this comic book-based world, the really rich don't care about money.

Because they are either superheroes or supervillains.

The address of Xavier College has always been semi-public. The so-called semi-public means that those who can know know it, and those who cannot know it do not; Can't get in.

Carl arrived here in the evening, and the gate of the college opened automatically. He deftly turned the steering wheel and parked the car at the gate.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Al." The Scarlet Witch Wanda appeared beside his car, showing him a reserved smile.

Carl, who appeared in Xavier Academy in this capacity for the first time, was taken aback, almost flattered by the way the Scarlet Witch came to greet him.

In terms of ability alone, Wanda is a mutant at the same level as Professor X. In terms of popularity, Wanda, who is beautiful and has a good temper, is second only to Qin Gree's college heartthrob.

"Hi," he said, with his trademark sweet smile, "Just call me Carl, are you?"

"Wanda."

"Hello, Wanda. I'm here to visit the academy. Well, your principal should have told you."

The Scarlet Witch nodded lightly, "He did."

Wanda led Carl directly to the main building of the college, which was their classroom.

Unlike most schools, most of the students at Xavier College will not leave the school even during holidays. Almost all the students stay in the college. It was a weekend when Carl came, and the students who had no courses were distributed in Xavier Manor in twos and threes. Karl met many strange-looking young people.

Wanda observed Carl's reaction silently, and found that although he was staring at these mutants in amazement, neither his eyes nor his expression were disgusting.

It may be because he looks surprised by everyone, so compared with those calm students, he looks more like an outlier.

Frankly speaking, Wanda thought to herself, this Carl.Al still looks a little silly.But it's not a low-intelligence idiot, it's carved out of the same mold as her brother Kuaiyin, the kind of idiot who has no scheming and goes straight.

This recognition made her attitude towards Carl much better. She sent Carl to Professor X’s door, and before leaving, she even gave Carl a faint smile: “The principal is inside, Mr. Al, I I'll take you here."

Carl nodded. Before entering the door, he hesitated slightly, and then asked her: "The gray-haired boy who followed us sneakily along the way just now, is that your boyfriend? He seems to have misunderstood us and kept staring at us. I."

Wanda thought about the mental retardation, but quickly put on a smile on his face: "That's my brother, sir, he's just a little wary of outsiders."

No wonder.Kuaiyin didn't think so much, maybe he really misunderstood Mr. Al's identity.

She took the matter of cleaning up her younger brother when she was free later, and watched Carl push away from the professor's office before leaving in peace.

"Long time no see." In the warm bonfire, the professor's smiling voice sounded.

"Yes, Charles—we didn't say a few words at the party last time." Carl said in his slightly broken voice, "Rao misses you very much, but I can't get back for a while. After a while, I will give him a vacation, just to deepen the relationship between Kal-El and Xavier College. How is Howard and Maria?"

"Mentally stable and very safe, it's just that Howard's state was a little bit wrong after seeing Superman last night."

"Oh." Carl didn't take this to heart, he paid more attention to other things, "How is Eric recently? There has been no big news from the Brotherhood for nearly half a year."
