2171 Side Story: Fantasy Journey 12

Lois didn’t let down her guard. She took a few more steps back, before she looked down at the familiar-looking man in the yellow vest.

She was surprised to recognize this person as someone who had appeared in the war-torn area a few months ago and participated in the operation to frame Superman. That was why she found him familiar.

She compared Luke’s voice with ‘Bruce’s,’ and sure enough, it wasn’t the same person.

Besides, she remembered that ‘Bruce’ hadn’t said who he was at all. She was the one who had called him ‘Bruce.’

Luke, on the other hand, could sense her doubt.

After all, anyone who had just been kidnapped would overreact.

He simply pointed at a total of four kidnappers in the van. “Miss Lane, compared with them, it would be easier for me to kidnap you.”

Lois immediately understood.

The four men had been taken down in an instant, while she hadn’t been able to fight off even one of them. It was indeed unlikely that Luke was acting.

Luke waved at a black van that had just driven into the parking lot and explained to Lois, “These guys work for Lex. They need to be left as witnesses. The information I wanted to tell you is that Lex planned today’s tragedy in Congress. He must’ve planted a bomb in Wallace Keefe’s wheelchair.”

When Lois heard that, she finally let down her guard.

Then, the black van stopped next to them. Four tough men in black suits got out and dragged the kidnappers into the van.

She couldn’t help but become wary again.

Luke said, “Sorry, but you know how easy it is for rich people to be targets. Bringing a few bodyguards with you can solve a lot of problems, like now.”

Lois: …Can you stop flaunting your wealth? I ran into four kidnappers, and you brought four bodyguards with you. Is this a slap in the face?

At the same time, on a farm outside Smallville, Kansas, an android was sticking a nanosuit to Martha Kent. “Mrs. Kent, you can read the operation manual when you have the time. If you run into these small fry who come after you again, you will at least be able to avoid them.”

Martha was stupefied as she looked at the semi-liquid which covered her body, and she wondered if she had fallen into the hands of some alien creature.

The android didn’t waste any time. “Don’t worry. We’ll be nearby to protect you until this is over.” With that, it took off with the four unconscious kidnappers.

At that moment, Martha finally said, “Thank you.”

The android didn’t respond and simply disappeared into the night.

…

In the Major Crimes Division of the Metropolis Police Department, Lois sat in the supervisor’s office and looked at Luke, who was talking to the supervisor outside the door, with mixed feelings.

In the past, she had hated this behavior of using authority for personal gain.

But Luke had used his connections to place her here because she didn’t trust him.

It was hard to rule out suspicion, even if you knew that it might be a misunderstanding.

So, after taking a private plane back to Metropolis, Luke left her here.

What made Lois even more speechless was that the four bodyguards in black suits were in the police lounge not far away.

Clearly, they didn’t think that the Metropolis Police Department was very reliable.

At that moment, it was a little awkward for Lois no matter how vigilant she was.

She was free to move and contact someone. Under the gazes of many police officers, she entered the office of the head of the Major Crimes Division.

If Luke wanted to do something to her, there was really no need to go through so much trouble.

Finally, Clark appeared in the office.

Luke assumed Clark had received a call from Lois. He didn’t rush to show his face, but left with his bodyguards.

Bruce Bale had saved Clark’s girlfriend, and the Dark Knight had saved his mother; if Clark didn’t acknowledge this favor, he wouldn’t be Superman.

A few minutes later, Clark came out of the police department with Lois, but his face was terrifyingly dark.

At Luke’s reminder, Martha called Lois and told her that someone had tried to kidnap her.

Since there had also been an attempted kidnapping with Lois, there was no need to consider who the mastermind was.

No wonder Lex dared to frame him! He was targeting his girlfriend and mother. Clark had never been so angry.

If it wasn’t for Lois comforting him, he would’ve been so angry that he would’ve torn off his clothes and charged out of the police department to arrest Lex.

Of course, he was only able to rein in his anger until after he left the police department.

After booking a room for Lois at a nearby hotel, Clark turned into Superman and disappeared.

He didn’t even need to search for Lex; just now, Lois had told him that Lex was in the Kryptonian spaceship which General Zod had left behind.

Of course, it was the kindhearted Luke who had told Lois this in advance.

Since he was going to do them a favor, he would do his best.

Lex’s experience and credit points weren’t worth anything compared with Superman in his debt.

After all, there were too many capable bad guys here, but only one Superman.

Besides, wasn’t obtaining a list of Superman’s abilities something more worth looking forward to?

Even if Luke felt that there was only a chance to learn part of Superman’s abilities, it would definitely be worth it.

It had to be pointed out that apart from kryptonite, which could be used to kill Superman, it seemed that no other attack could pierce his skin.

It could be said that this was the ultimate physique that Luke could imagine.

There might be many other physical capabilities that could be used to contend with Superman, but they would be far less suitable for daily life in human society.

Thus, after telling the four security guards to take a break and stand by, Luke sat in the Porsche and watched a live feed via the surveillance cameras near the remains of the Kryptonian spaceship.

As per his usual practice, he had invested in security companies in Gotham and Metropolis.

Unbeknownst to the managers of these security companies, he had turned the surveillance cameras in important locations into his eyes and ears.

As a shareholder, he could influence the installation of many surveillance cameras and openly learn the databases and connections.

Lex hadn’t been on his blacklist before, so Luke naturally wouldn’t have specially analyzed his whereabouts.

After the tragedy in Congress, Lex became the primary target of Metropolis’s surveillance network.

Although Lex had returned to Metropolis by helicopter, it was impossible for his driver, bodyguards, and secretary to also take the helicopter.

After triangulating their movements, Lex’s whereabouts were exposed.

This didn’t affect Luke’s plan much; the only change was that the person who would open this gift bag was not Luke, but Superman.

Reclining in his seat, Luke took out a roast goose and munched on it happily.

The only pity was that this Porsche was fancy, but there was too little space in the car to set up a table of delicious food while he enjoyed the show.

But his leisurely mood soon disappeared.

Alfred began to send out a series of warnings about high-energy reactions. The location was where the remains of the Kryptonian spaceship were.

Luke instantly realized that this was probably Lex’s doing.
