"Knights of the DC House ()" Find the latest chapter!
In the office of the president of Metropolitan Lex Enterprise Group, after Lex told Savage about his intentions, Savage also saw Lex's pupils constrict through the reflection of the glass. He knew that there was nothing wrong with his trip this time, and Lex just drank the wine in the glass and put the glass on the table, then turned his head, looked at Vandal Savage, and asked .
"How did I go to Apocalypse, and how did I get back from Apocalypse, is this important? Savage."
"If it was in the past, when the Illuminati was still confronting the Justice League, well, it doesn't matter. I would only be surprised that my allies also have a way to contact Darkseid. But you also know that today is different from the past, and our Illuminati The idea of the society is that the earth should be controlled and led by the people on earth. In this regard, we are different from the Justice League, but the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that Superman could really give up everything he has as a superman and live as an ordinary person. .
So, the Justice League can make concessions for our ideals, why can't the Illuminati make their own concessions, especially in the month that this new era is about to start, I don't want any problems. So it's time for you to answer the question that was buried in my heart for me, you say yes, Lex. You also don't want to see a future advanced by the Earthlings themselves aborted and returned to the era of superhero supremacy. "
Savage's words were very real, without any intention of hiding, and Lex also looked at Savage standing in front of him, was silent for a long time, and then asked: "What makes you think that I and Apocalypse Is there a connection, Savage, because of the Darkseid Godhead War?"
"No, earlier, if I really want to say it, since you joined the Illuminati, I have doubts about the purpose of your joining."
"oh?"
After Savage made such a guess, Lex also became interested. This immortal who has lived for 50,000 years has been active in the history of human development in various identities. He is also very curious about what Savage is based on. Thoughts that have doubts about themselves.
Sitting there, filling himself a glass of wine, Lex also resumed his previous calm appearance, waiting for Savage to speak. And Savage also gave himself a sip of wine at this time, and only then did he explain why he doubted Lex.
"Remember when we were members of the Illuminati?"
"Of course, you, me, Master Ninja, Gorilla Grodd, Queen Bee of Bilia, and Chaos Demon Witch Boy." Lex also replied.
"Yes, these people, I chose you to form the Illuminati because everyone here has conflicts with the members of the Justice League. It is best to choose you because everyone has a common purpose. The premise is You have to follow orders and do things, and I can let you go here, but you, Lex Luthor, I have doubts about you because you behaved too much under orders."
"Huh? If you say that, I'm interested. Let me tell you why I became the source of your doubts when I obeyed the command."
"Because I will create a file for everyone in the Illuminati to analyze your personality. Master Ninja, an old lunatic who thinks he can see through the world, only wants to build an ideal world, even if it takes hundreds of millions of lives for it. The price doesn't matter, Gorilla Grodd, needless to say, from the perspective of his birth wisdom and race, human beings must be enslaved and eliminated. The queen bee, well, as long as one's own country stands on top of the world, others She doesn't care whether the country lives or dies.
The simple and clear dream of a great country, the chaotic demon god Wutong, chaos is what he wants most. But you, Lex Luthor, are different. The conflict between you and Clark, that is, the former Superman is a conflict of ideas. You are a pure earthist, a human supremacy guy. In order to sanction Superman, you have no problem joining the Illuminati, but at that time we were fighting with Apocalypse Cooperation, abduction and trafficking of teenagers carrying supergenes from all over the world, and using them as goods,
Make it into a biological weapon and hand it over to Apocalypse.
Controlled by the Apocalypse, we use it to conquer other civilizations in the universe, and we obtain the technology of the Apocalypse to continue to grow ourselves. Among them, everyone, including me, can regard this human trafficking as a pure transaction, except for you. During your career of confronting Superman, you have also done similar biochemical experiments, but they were all conducted on the basis of the target's voluntary Yes, whether it is a robot or a biochemical superman, they are all guys who have resentment towards superman.
Your foundation is not clean, and the arms and technology in those war-torn areas are basically provided by you. But you never touch human trafficking, you have enough money to find people who work for you, such as abducting and trafficking teenagers and turning them into biological and chemical weapons, you never touch them, and you even do it, but you No, that's what got me suspicious. "
Turning the wine glass on the table, looking at the reflective liquid inside, Lex didn't expect that he would arouse Savage's suspicion in this matter, but he still asked: "I don't touch human trafficking, it doesn't mean I can't just turn a blind eye, do I do less of this kind of desperate thing?"
"This is two different things. You don't want to save yourself because you want to protect yourself, but human trafficking, and selling it to Apocalypse as a biochemical weapon, if you don't care about it, then you are not the one for the idea. Lex Luthor fighting Superman, you're just an unscrupulous villain."
Savage also talked about his evaluation of Lex, and Lex was also very helpful, but he also refuted it.
"Yeah, so didn't you see that I kept giving the Justice League information in the back and asked them to destroy our den?"
"That's for later, let's talk about the front. Before I sent you an invitation, you were not surprised by what I said about the Illuminati. This is the first doubt. It means that you know my existence, or know that someone is targeting Justice League, followed by your sister, Lena Luthor, she is your closest person, when she knew that you joined the Illuminati and intervened in human trafficking, it was harder for her to believe this fact than anyone else, she is the most One of the people who knows you well, even your closest relative's sister, thinks that you can't get involved in human trafficking and should turn against me for it, but you joined and played double-faced agents. This is the biggest doubt.
Your joining is too straightforward, too simple, without even thinking. Explain that before you know about the Illuminati, you already know that Lex Enterprise is involved in the Illuminati’s actions. Some people go over you and your sister to mobilize the resources of Lex Enterprise and connect with me. You join, on the one hand to cause trouble, on the other It's mole catching, and you want to know who's behind your back, huh, Lex Luthor. "
When Savage expressed his doubts, Lex Luthor, who was spinning the cup, also stopped his movements. He didn't bother to lie about it, and Savage was right, but it wasn't enough.
"That's all, are you sure that I have a connection with Apocalypse?"
Savage shook his head and continued to talk about his investigation.
"Of course these are not enough. These can only prove that your motives for joining the Illuminati were impure from the beginning, but the people inside are clean. But I don't believe that with your wisdom, you will not be able to find out who the insider is. This is impossible, you must have found out, but the identity of this insider made you choose not to kill him or her, but to help clean up this mess, keep causing trouble for me, and attract the attention of the Justice League.
And what connects you with Apocalypse is your movement in the Blackest Night event that happened later. "
When Savage talked about Darkest Night's own movements, Lex also thumped in his heart, because he knew that Savage had already guessed who the inner ghost was.
"In the darkest night, the Black Lantern Ring will resurrect the dead intelligent life as zombies. The biological father of Superman, the biological father of Batman, the younger brother who was strangled to death before Wonder Woman met, and the first king of Atlantis ... They've all been in touch with the past, not even me, haven't you? No, you have, when you were in New Orleans, you teamed up with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
But when both Superman and Batman came into contact with their black lantern biological father, you and Wonder Woman also left. She went to Paradise Island to confirm the safety of the tribe, why did you go? You must have thought of it, the black lantern ring will also resurrect the important people around you, but who else is the important people around you besides your sister? Speaking of which, you should know what I'm talking about, it's yours parents.
Your public profile shows that you are the son of business tycoons Leonardo and Leticia Luthor, your father died a long time ago, and your mother chose the ring after you took over Lex Enterprises. Traveled the world. There is no problem with these materials, but the problem is that your father's death was too sudden, and no insider knew about the situation, and your mother, her attitude towards this matter and your siblings is also very strange.
Suppose, you go back to the cemetery where your father is buried, I'm sure this guy named Leonardo Luthor must be resurrected, but with your means, killing him is not a problem. But after that, you disappeared, and when you returned again, you had become the God of Apocalypse, so you tell me, the ghost who can make the most intelligent people in the world helpless against him, and can do everything in front of him In preparation, he was exiled to Apocalypse and became a part of Darkseid's godhead experiment. Who is the one who can do all this? "
When Savage said this, Lex couldn't continue to listen in silence. He just drank the wine in his glass and gritted his teeth: "My mother, Leticia Luthor!"
After hearing Lex's confession with his own ears, Savage also nodded, only in this way can everything make sense. Sometimes it doesn't take any intrigue or sheer force to overturn the world's smartest Lex Luthor. No matter how smart Lex is, he is still a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will have weaknesses in human nature, and Leticia Luthor, who is his biological mother, is his weakness.
Only in this way can it explain why someone can cross Lex and Lena and connect with the Illuminati. With Lex's character, if a stranger or an enemy messes with him, he would be dead by now. But if it's a mother, it's a different matter. Even Lex Luthor can't be cruel to his mother.
But Savage still has doubts, if it is Leticia Luthor, the mother of Lex, what is the point of her doing so. Whether it is backstabbing one's own children, or exiling Lex to Apocalypse to suffer and suffer, no matter how you look at it, it is an approach to the enemy, not to the son. Tiger poison is not a child, even he, after so many years In the past, he had never done such a thing to torture his own children.
Even in the Blackest Night incident, Olympia, the resurrected daughter of the zombie, was in the late stage of her Alzheimer’s disease, and she could no longer remember who she was, and asked Savage, as her father, to end Her own life, before she had completely forgotten all of this.
So he couldn't figure out what the significance of Leticia Luthor's doing was, unless Lex Luthor wasn't his own son, but that's not true either, Savage investigated Lex's birth records, it was definitely the original machine, A piece of meat that fell from Leticia.
"I know you must be wondering why my mother did this, Savage, it contradicts everything you have investigated. You are here to find an answer, okay, if you want an answer , I’ll give you this, today is exciting enough, and I don’t mind telling you some heartfelt words.”
Lex, who guessed what Savage was thinking, also interrupted Savage's thoughts with a loud voice, and transferred the initiative of the words to his own hands. But when Lex said this, Savage was also curious.
"Is there a secret I don't know?"
"Yes, even my sister, Lena, doesn't know these secrets."
"How is that possible?" Savage exclaimed.
For Savage's expression, Lex is also very useful. I was taken aback by you before, and now it's my turn to fight back. Who told me that I am small-minded, and I am still bald.
A hint of surprise at Savage flashed in his mind, and after refilling himself a glass of wine, he said, "This is possible. The reason why a secret is a secret is because it will not appear in the file in any form." Amongst others, whether electronic or on paper, he exists only here and in the minds of the deceased."
Pointing to his own head, Lex also joked there.
"But Lena Luthor is the person involved, she must have been there when your father died, why didn't she know."
"Save your curiosity for a later attack. Listen to me tell a story first, a story about the Luther family. There are not many members in the story, just me, my father, and my mother."
