When he saw the child appear, Brody's eyes fell on him uncontrollably at first, but soon, he looked at Clark.

Clark's expression also showed a hint of surprise. When Brody looked over, he happened to look at Brody too.

Both of them felt a little surprised that the child appeared here.

But Brody's strange feeling was more obvious, but he thought about it, and felt that this feeling was unnecessary, because it was quite normal to say.

The children in the Lowood Orphanage are almost all handicapped, and it once lost almost all the financial support due to the murder. Although it has received an anonymous grant now, for it, the more money, the better. Well, naturally, they will not reject the funding from the Lex Group.

Regardless of whether the Lex Group uses this incident to boost its corporate image or whatever, it is a real help to the people in the orphanage.

So he began to watch the performance of the group of children on the stage seriously.

After the performance, the children held hands and smiled brightly amidst the applause, and then left the banquet.

One of the blond-haired, blue-eyed, cute and pretty boys looked back at the crowd before leaving, as if he was looking for someone, but his action didn't last long, only for a second or two, before turning his head back.

After the group of children left, Lex only spoke a few words, and left the time of the banquet to these people.

"Was that kid looking for you just now?" Bruce said, of course he knew about Brody funding the orphanage before, including the fact that he got along well with a kid.

Although for a while Brody didn't like to share things in his life with Bruce as much as he used to, but Bruce always had a way to learn, especially when Brody just didn't take the initiative to speak up, but didn't really reject Bruce. .

Brody knew this too, so he wasn't surprised that Bruce knew about it.

He nodded. "Maybe Lex Luthor made the guest list—"

and many more.

He frowned, and found something unreasonable.

"There's no reason for him to do that," Brody said.

First of all, when he went to the orphanage, he never told the dean that he was from the Wayne family, and it was even more impossible for the children to understand.

Secondly, besides Clark, Dean and Bruce, he only told Tony about it, and none of them could tell Lex Luthor.

To sum up, Lex Luthor should not know his relationship with the children, so there is no reason to show those children the guest list, because it is not only strange but also meaningless. In this case, it stands to reason that Angel should not Knowing that he is also in this banquet.

If the children are looking for other people—although the people at the banquet are either rich or expensive, the children in the orphanage, unless it is an accident like Brody, most of the time it is impossible to get in touch—maybe this is The reason the Lex Group suddenly funded the Lowood Orphanage.

but……

'He had an upset face after seeing the news about Superman'

Because of what Tony said, it was really hard for Brody not to care about this matter.

Lex hated Superman, and Superman was a mutant, so Brody was a little concerned about why the Lowood Hospital, where mutants appeared, was funded.

"Hey, hey, Bruce Wayne and Brody Wayne, and Clark Kent," Lex's voice sounded, and he appeared in Brody's sight, showing a very enthusiastic smile, "Wow, my favorite It’s about bringing everyone together.”

He shook hands with Bruce first, "I've heard of your name, Bruce Wayne is very famous in Gotham."

Bruce smiled slightly at him.

After letting go, Lex stretched out his hand to hold Brody again, "Hi, I'm Lex Luthor, I know you, and I've heard about your experiences."

He said to himself, "Not everyone can survive many accidents safely, and even get rescued by Superman every time. You are really destined," he blinked and laughed. Get up, "I'm impressed with your luck."

Brody showed a polite smile, he didn't find this sentence interesting, and even secretly raised his vigilance because of the mention of Superman.

He looked into those green eyes, although there was a smile in them, but it didn't make him feel relaxed or have a good impression. It can be said that even when he and Tony met for the first time, they felt better than now.

He always felt that there was some deep meaning in it, and even these words meant something.

Lex looked at Clark one last time, "Whoa, I'm Lex, hello Clark," he raised his eyebrows after shaking hands, "I'm so envious of your friendship with Brody Wayne, or would you like Make me a friend, huh?"

Lex's attitude towards the three of them was a little too enthusiastic, and he didn't even mind their dull reactions. He chatted a few more words, and then clapped his hands violently.

"Look, I actually forgot about this," he said, taking a step closer to Brody, and putting his hand up to catch him, "There is a kid named Angel, he told me that he misses you very much, wants to To meet you, I asked him to wait in the lounge, would you like to meet his wish?"

"Brody——" he pronounced Brody's name in a voice close to a sigh, the corners of his mouth curled more clearly, and he blinked again, "Oh, I hope you don't mind me calling you that, I've already Consider you my friend."

"I think that kid would really like to see you go by."

Brody leaves.

Lex looked at his back, narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at Bruce and Clark, the expression on his face changed back to the somewhat enthusiastic and even familiar one.

"You two," he raised the wine glass in his hand to Bruce and Clark, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I don't know what you think about the kind of people who have power that ordinary people can't control? "

……

Brody followed the location that Lex said, and after pushing open the door, he saw a child sitting on the sofa watching TV seriously. His face was still unhealthily pale, but his expression was much different than when he first saw him in the orphanage. It's a little more cheerful to arrive.

"Angel." He said the child's name in a soft voice.

The child turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and then he wanted to jump off the sofa and run towards him.

"Hey, don't get excited," Brody stopped him, he smiled, squatted down and opened his hands towards him, "Take your time, Angel, I'm right here, I won't run away."

His words had an effect, Angel no longer tried to make violent moves, although he had already smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, but his pace slowed down, he walked up to Brody, stretched out his arms and hugged Brody tightly.

Brody also put his arms around his small body, listening to him whisper in his ear: "I miss you very much, Brody."

"Me too, Angel."

Brody originally planned to take time to visit the orphanage recently, but he didn't expect to see him here.

Just now, when he saw a child about to jump off, he would stop him. One reason was that he was worried about his body, and doing this kind of behavior would cause a burden on his heart. The other reason was that he was afraid that something would happen to him, but the child would be fine.

If he doesn't dodge, even the child's body, he won't be able to bear that kind of weight, and he will probably have to vomit blood in front of the child, but if he hides, Angel will definitely feel sad.

Fortunately, none of the above happened in the end.

He took Angel and sat on the sofa, and asked him how the people in the orphanage were doing and how he was doing.

Angel’s answer was that everything was fine, and the dean’s aunt’s expression was no longer so serious. Not only did everyone have money for treatment, but the environment in the orphanage became better.

"Uncle Lex told me that his company has very good doctors, and I can have surgery tomorrow. I... I'm actually a little scared, but now that I see you, I'm not afraid anymore."

Brody raised his hand and touched his head. He looked directly at Angel and said in a positive tone: "Nothing will happen. After the operation is over, you can live like those normal children."

After the topic was over, Brody brought up the question he had been thinking about earlier.

"Angel, were you looking for me when you left with the other children?"

Angel nodded, "Yes!"

"How did you know I was there?"

Angel tilted his head, he pointed to the TV embedded in the wall, "I saw it on the TV, I saw Brody with another good-looking uncle, Uncle Lex told me that Brody would also See my show!"

So, just an accident?

Angel grabbed Brody's hand, blinked his big eyes, "Brody, can you watch the stars with me?"

"Of course." Brody was happy to fulfill Angel's request, so he quickly agreed, "Wait for you tomorrow—"

"Can I do it now?"

Angel interrupted him, he pursed his lips and made a request, "Uncle Lex said, it's on the highest floor, there is a place where you can watch the stars."

"But if the high-rise building is blown by cold wind, it will be harmful to your body..." Brody thought that the place where Lex said to watch the stars was the open-air terrace on the top floor of the building.

Angel immediately said: "Uncle Lex said, it's covered by glass—" He stretched out his hand and drew a big circle as he spoke, "There's no wind at all, so, is it okay?"

Brody showed a thoughtful expression, and suddenly laughed under Angel's eager gaze.

"of course."

The two of them walked out of the lounge, and the young man led the child into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the top floor.

On the other side, Lex's cell phone in his pocket vibrated, he took it out to have a look, and quickly put it away again.

It's just that the smile on his face got thicker.
