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

The presidents of major banks and the well-informed figures of financial groups kept probing their words, trying to establish a tacit understanding and hoping to reach a verbal agreement.

No matter what others said, Xu Fu remained humble, always adhering to the principle that SHOW has no shortage of money, Tesla has no shortage of money, and Bluebird has no shortage of money.

Are you really not short of money?

Of course not. The development of SHOW cannot be separated from a bankrupt data center, not to mention the expansion of Bluebird and Tesla's factories. The production capacity problem cannot be solved without investing tens of billions of dollars.

Xu Fu is severely short of money and needs a large amount of capital investment.

Money is the driving force of enterprise development. The reason for not speaking up is to seize the initiative, establish a high image, and make others obediently hand over money door to door without daring to say a word.

He will have the audience by the throat and make them pave the way for Tesla's future.

The auction began halfway through the dinner.

Thanks to Linda, Xu Fu didn't forget to invite Clark and his girlfriend Louise Lane to sit next to him; of course, a prank was out of the question.

He wanted to carefully observe the world's great Chao Cuo, to see his character, speech and behavior, these three things best reflected his worldview and values.

Louise was very excited about Xu Fu's invitation, but Clark didn't care. For some reason, perhaps it was male instinct, or perhaps it was something else, he didn't like this boy with the sunny smile, and even pushed him away a little.

His powerful senses told him that the boy exuded a very dangerous aura and was far from being as harmless as he appeared at first glance.

Unlike Linda, Clark possessed a life code and was also a Kryptonian, so his feelings towards the former were much stronger than those towards the latter.

Louise disagreed. As a journalist, she wanted to delve into Tesla's inner wisdom to complete her assignment, but this occasion was clearly inappropriate. Caught in a dilemma, she could only steer the conversation toward Linda.

"Xiao, how did you and Linda meet?"

“When SHO first started working, she didn’t have an administrative assistant. She came to apply for the job. I don’t know if she was in a bad mood that day, but she punched a boxing machine.”

Xu Fu said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"At the time, the company employees were very surprised. Some even told me that I couldn't keep Linda in the company because she was too outstanding."

I didn't know you had this experience.

Louise muttered something to herself, then changed the subject, asking, "You were there when Linda went back to Krypton, weren't you?"

Xu Fu's heart trembled, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Yes, we went together. It was an incredible adventure. It was the first time I left Earth and saw the vastness and danger of the universe."

You are in danger.

Xu Fu nodded: "I almost died there and never came back."

Clark couldn't help but interject.

"Have you reached Krypton? What's the situation there? Are there any survivors?"

This question had been bothering him for a long time, and when he asked Linda, she didn't answer.

"You should ask Linda that question. I can only tell you that there are survivors on Krypton."

Clark answered hastily, "Where?"

Xu Fu shook his head incredulously, his expression somewhat silent. Just as Clark was about to ask another question, Louise quickly and gently nodded his head.

"Who brought the danger you just mentioned? Aliens?"

This argument seems to have some merit.

Xu Fu understood what she meant and laughed.

"Danger is everywhere in the universe." "It was the surviving Kryptonians who put Linda and me in danger."

He paused deliberately, turned to look at them, and slowly said, "The target of this group of survivors is Lonely Fortress. They want to obtain Earth's coordinates through Lonely Fortress and rebuild Kryptonian civilization based on Earth."

Do you know what rebuilding civilization means?

Clark frowned: "They want to exterminate humanity?"

Xu Fu sighed: "Clark, you and Linda are kind-hearted, but the other Kryptonians are not."

"The universe is vast and boundless, and there are very few planets suitable for Kryptonians to settle on. Each one is extremely precious, and they will not give up on them, so I hope you are ready."

"By the way, there's something else I need to tell you: the leader of that organization has a deep connection with you."

"With me?"

"Yes"

Xu Fu took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "To be precise, it's the murderer who killed your father."

Clark's facial expression changed drastically, and Louise could not hide her shock: Of course, the murderer he was referring to was not his adoptive father Jonathan Kent on Earth, but his biological father, Joel.

The leader of the survivors killed his own father!

This news was so explosive that Clark simply couldn't accept it.

Just then, footsteps sounded from behind. Bruce Wayne, dressed in an elegant suit, stood by the table with a smile on his face and said...

"Can I sit down?"

"Of course, please!"

Xu Fu asked the waiter to bring over a chair and place it opposite the table. He glanced at Superman on his left, then at Batman, feeling rather strange.

If these two people's identities are exposed, who knows what will happen?

Of course he wouldn't do such a thing. At this time, both Batman and Superman were still rookies. One hadn't even faced the Joker yet, and the other had just met Lex Luthor. A hero who hasn't experienced anything is not a good hero.

Bruce Wayne ordered a glass of brandy from the waiter, then turned around and asked...

"You are all..."

Louise laughed and said, "This is Clark Kent, my boyfriend, from the Daily Planet reporter Louise Lane."

Bruce nodded slightly in acknowledgment; as a blatant playboy, journalism was one of his least favorite professions, and as for Clark Kent standing to the side, one could tell from his clothes that he was just a passerby.

He had nothing in common with the passersby.

Unable to discuss the collaboration with reporters, Bruce shifted the topic to exoskeletons, also known as "...".

"Mr. Xiao, I'm curious, have you personally inspected the exoskeleton armor and energy crystal particles?"

"The exoskeleton armor is my product, but the crystal is not; it's the result of research by me and my assistant friend."

Chapter 1146 Three Heroes!

Bruce Wayne was clearly well-prepared, and Xu Fu roughly guessed the purpose of his trip.

"This person's name is a trade secret; you can't just reveal it."

Bruce smiled with relief. "Or maybe she doesn't even exist?"

Xu Fu smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine bottle, poured half a glass of red wine, and swirled it as he poured.

"If Mr. Wayne has any special requirements for the exoskeleton armor, please let me know now."

Bruce hesitated for a moment before saying, "Compared to the armor, I'm more interested in SHOU. The Wayne Enterprises previously tried to cooperate with SHOU, but unfortunately, there was no significant progress; each time, they were rejected at the last minute for strange reasons."

"Mr. Shaw seems unwilling to cooperate with Wayne Group."

Xu Fu smiled: "Perhaps you are wrong. Wayne Group is a Fortune 100 company with a wide range of businesses and unprecedented influence. This kind of group cooperation is a true dream come true."

Bruce stepped forward.

"Then why did you refuse?"

Xu Fu thought for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Because of Batman."

Bruce Wayne: "..."

A thousand alpacas galloped through his mind; he felt he had been pranked by the boy, but he couldn't find any evidence.

Louise wondered, "What does this have to do with Batman?"

Xu Fu did not answer the question, but continued to press for an answer.

What do you think of Batman as a person? What do you think of his methods of fighting crime?

The question immediately caused all three of them to fall into deep thought.

Bruce, who was participating in the conversation, naturally couldn't speak first, even though he realized that Xu Fu might use this as an opportunity to change the subject, but he had no choice but to do so.

After thinking for a few seconds, Louise spoke up.

"His intentions were good, but I disagree with his approach."

Xu Fu smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Clark.

"What about you?"

"Criminals must be punished by law." "No one has the right to lynch."

Clark's expression was serious as he spoke, clearly indicating that he was speaking from the heart.

Bruce was so angry by the comments from these two people that his tone became cold and...

"This question should be answered by the citizens of Gotham, who have suffered greatly from crime; they will certainly give different answers."

Louise was taken aback, not expecting Bruce Wayne, known for his flamboyant appearance, to say such a thing.

"Mr. Wayne seems to agree with Batman's statement."
