American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

These people were either closely related to Xu Fu or were outstanding key figures.

Lex Luthor glanced to the side, pondering the identity behind the photograph.

Linda was the best target, but not the most suitable choice: her connection with Xu Fu-Xiao was too deep, and if anyone made a move against her, the latter would immediately discover it.

She can't do it; the next best option is Superman.

Thinking of the strange man in the red cloak, Luther frowned: a little envy, a little jealousy, a little disgust, a little gratitude, and in addition, an indescribable complexity.

Initially, he dreamed of becoming a brave, kind, brotherly, righteous, and compassionate hero worthy of the world's respect, but cruel reality pulled him in the opposite direction, turning him into a ruthless devil.

After his dream was shattered, Luther became depressed and believed that there would never be a perfect person in the world. At this time, Superman appeared and realized his dream in a near-violent way.

It's an unpleasant feeling, it makes you want to go crazy.

He resented Xu Fu, but he hated Superman the most. Every time he saw him, he wanted to attack him.

...

Several months have passed since the Battle of the Century, but the metropolis is still not free from the effects of the war. Every day, large numbers of citizens come to the monument to lay flowers and remember their deceased relatives and friends.

In a roadside restaurant across Monument Street, Clark sat at a table, watching the crowd in the distance and memorizing the townspeople's facial features with unmistakable clarity.

They were helpless, insecure, and filled with the grief and pain of losing loved ones.

"Okay, you don't need to look anymore."

Louise walked over: "Time will heal all wounds."

Clark gave a wry smile (bbfh). He wanted to save the city, but he didn't know how, because hundreds of thousands of people had already died in the war against the Kryptonians.

Many times, he thought that if he had made that decision back then, things might have been different.

Louise grabbed her boyfriend's arm. "We're going to see Linda in a few minutes. Don't even think about it."

Clark nodded slightly, rallied his spirits, and headed to Tesla headquarters with Louise.

After Xu Fu left, the despicable Ms. Danvers returned to her old ways and took over as CEO. To be honest, she didn't like her job, especially running a company and dealing with all sorts of business and people every day.

Trouble kept piling up, giving me a huge headache, and I still had to give an interview.

Hello there!

The girl sighed deeply.

"When will this kind of life end?!"

Hayward, panting, said, "So many people envy the position of Tesla's CEO, and you're still complaining."

You wouldn't understand.

Linda shook her head, barely managing to muster a little energy, "Who are the media representatives here today?"

“The Independent, The City, The Planet Daily, local radio stations…”

"and many more!"

Linda frowned: "Did you just tell the Daily Planet?"

"Yes, the Daily Planet is one of the most influential newspapers in the metropolitan area. Being interviewed by them would be very helpful for Tesla's advertising campaign. Any questions?"

"No"

"Let them in!"

After the preparations were completed, reporters from several major media outlets, including Clark and Louise, entered the venue one after another. Upon seeing them, Linda pursed her lips indifferently, remained silent, and maintained her usual condescending indifference.

To others, Linda is a cold and aloof noblewoman with a lovely and charming face, but she has a terrible temper and is prone to anger. Her scolding can be terrifying.

This is such an oddball, yet it possesses extremely strong R&D capabilities. The development of each product is impressive, with novel ideas and thoughtful designs that are never lacking.

Her colleagues both frightened and impressed her; only Barry Allen and Billy Shaw could remain calm in her presence.

This press conference was destined to be different. Linda always answered reporters' questions perfunctorily, answering only when she felt like it and simply ignoring them when she didn't.

This move drew strong public dissatisfaction, with numerous protests, but Linda showed no sign of changing her mind, and the carefully prepared press conference had to end abruptly.

Theoborn held his head in his hands, at a loss for words.

However, Linda didn't notice anything amiss. She finished her work and left the office immediately, while Clark and Louise waited by the door.

"Kara, we'd like to invite you to have dinner with us."

Chapter 1448 Lifelong Enemy

Clark Kent and Louise Lane

Seeing them standing together, Linda couldn't help but think of Xu Fu, who had disappeared long ago, and her mood immediately became depressed.

"Guys, get out of here, I have no interest in having dinner with you."

Louise explained.

“This is a family dinner. Kara, Clark is your brother. Despite the many misunderstandings before, you are family, ~the only family.”

Linda said helplessly.

"We've agreed on where to eat; I don't like roadside restaurants."

Louise smiled.

"I know a really good restaurant called Cyprus that you'll like."

Half an hour later, at a Spanish-style restaurant in Peking University, the three of them ordered a table full of Spanish specialties and chatted while eating.

Louise is a very talkative person, and through her appearance, the Kryptonian siblings finally repaired their relationship and found common ground with each other.

Time passed quickly in a pleasant atmosphere, and Louise felt it was time to ask the question that had been bothering her the most.

"Kara, you and Xu Fu..."

As he spoke, he touched his index finger, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"No"

Linda took a sip of her juice: "We're not lovers."

No romantic relationship?

Clark and Louise exchanged bewildered glances.

“That day we saw Xu Fu-Xiao’s body on the roof of a building, and then he reappeared. Ronggen Martian said that the consciousness inside Xu Fu-Xiao’s body was different from before.”

"Kara, I need you to tell me what happened and whether he's dead."

"Not dead"

"and then?"

"Then that's all."

The girl drank the cold soup without looking to the side.

Clark observed her expression but found nothing unusual. The girl spoke calmly, clenching her teeth without explaining, clearly indicating that she had some secret she didn't want to reveal to the public.

Everyone has secrets; there's no need to pry.

Clark let out a long sigh of relief; the joy he had been suppressing for so long had finally been found.

"Come, let us raise a glass to Xu Fu's revival!"

The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together, and Louise took the opportunity to say a few words.

"Kara, Xu Fu-Xiao doesn't like you very much."

What's the point of asking these questions?

Louise smiled and said, "He must really like you, otherwise he wouldn't have assigned all the Tesla jobs to you. It's a sign of trust."

The girl shivered, wanting to say something sarcastic, but didn't know how to start. What the other person said was true; Xu Fu trusted her enough to reveal many secrets to her. However, thinking of Carol Ferris and the other girls, she involuntarily increased the pressure of her right hand.

laughing out loud!

The stainless steel dinner knife has been transformed into a twisted knife.

Louise's lips twitched; she seemed to realize something: Xu Fu-Xiao was not a loyal man; he had had several affairs and maintained an extremely close relationship with Carol Ferris of Ferris Airlines.

It's really, really embarrassing. He's a despicable person.

Louise realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject. Just then, she heard a scream, and all three of them turned around to see a breaking news report on TV: a mysterious man in black was destroying a monument.

His impact shattered the seven-meter-high stone tablet, sending debris flying in all directions. People around were stunned and screamed in shock. Police officers rushed forward to stop him, but were knocked to the ground by the force of the impact.

A policeman raised his gun and fired. The bullets hit the mysterious man, making a "thump-thump-thump" sound, but had no effect whatsoever.

Seeing this, Clark was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.

You go first.

After that, he got up and left.

Linda couldn't help but shudder: "Does he do this often?"

Louise replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm used to it."

At the memorial plaza, Clark, transformed into Superman, descends from the sky.
