But the problem now is how to find the guy who took the kryptonite. Although the other party has shown some flaws, he is still looking for a needle in a haystack.
Just when Linton was thinking about it, Bruce here started to show off. He directly took out an invitation and said: "Since the ship belongs to them, maybe we can find some from the Lex Group."
A clue, I happen to have an invitation letter for his party tomorrow night."
"Oh?" After hearing this, Linton remembered. Yes, this banquet should be the banquet where Bruce and Da Chao met for the first time in the plot. Of course I want to go, but I don't have any clue, so I need to ask someone first.
Let’s ask about the situation. If I remember correctly, this party was not only attended by Superman, but also by Wonder Woman. There were two major suspects at once.
Time quickly came to the next day, and Linton followed Bruce to Lex Luthor's mansion to attend a banquet. Although it was a private banquet, the crowd at the door was not small. The people invited this time were celebrities, what a beauty.
Female celebrities and big-name politicians have all participated, and reporters will certainly not miss such an opportunity.
"It's Bruce Wayne's car!" The reporters soon discovered Bruce's car. After all, who in this Gotham City doesn't know about the Wayne Group. However, in recent years, Bruce has become more accessible and seems to have become somewhat reclusive.
, I didn’t expect to come to the Lex Group’s banquet. Is this because I feel the threat of the Lex Group?
It is true that the Lex Group has been very active in recent days, and it seems that it has negotiated several cooperation deals with the ZHENG government. In the eyes of others, it is time for the Wayne Group to react a little bit.
Soon, the car stopped at the door of the mansion, and sure enough, the person who got out of the car was Bruce Wayne. The reporters were just about to gather around and ask about the situation, but suddenly found that Bruce who got out of the car did not walk directly towards this direction.
, but waited for a while. Of course, the reporters immediately realized that there was someone else in the car. Is it Bruce Wayne's female companion tonight? But I heard that Bruce Wayne is not married yet, and he is not even at his age.
When I was young, I had scandals with quite a few female celebrities, but I haven’t heard of them at all recently. So who could this female companion be?
However, something happened that shocked them. The person who got out of the co-pilot was actually a man. Of course, Linton and the others didn't know each other. A group of reporters looked at Linton and then at Bruce.
"Have you come out?"
"It doesn't look very similar at this age. He can't be an illegitimate child."
"An adopted son is also possible. After all, he has never been married. Wayne Group still needs an heir."
"Then this is the heir to Wayne Group?"
The discussion was quite loud and reached Bruce's ears directly. Bruce frowned. It would be very troublesome to explain. You can't say that Linton is from another world. After thinking about it, Bruce
He is also too lazy to talk nonsense with these reporters, so he can make it up as he likes. He is used to it anyway.
He walked directly to the mansion. The reporters here asked questions all the way, but Bruce ignored them completely, and soon the security guards at the door came to stop these reporters. Taking pictures is for taking pictures, and you can't intrude on these guests. Today's guests are...
It's not simple, and they don't dare to be careless.
Because Bruce was leading the party, of course there were no security guards to stop Linton. The two quickly entered the mansion. It was indeed a very grand party. When Linton and the others arrived, there were already many people inside.
"This is a rare visitor, Bruce Wayne." Not long after he entered the door, a man came over to say hello. Linton took a look and saw that he was an unknown uncle. He was at least sixty years old, and he didn't look like Lex.
Luther.
"Hi, Mark, long time no see." Bruce here also said hello and gave him a little hug. He was probably a friend he had met before.
"Who is this..." The man named Mark immediately asked Linton next to him. This is probably the reason why he came up to say hello out of curiosity.
"Linton, one of my...new friends." Bruce thought for a while and said.
"Wayne Group's new partner?" Mark asked, "Hello, I am Mark Fendel, the executive director of Bangli Group."
Linton ignored the person who greeted him and was now looking for his target in the venue. Where were Superman and Wonder Woman?
"Um...he just came here not long ago, and his English is not very good." Bruce here also noticed that Linton was too lazy to take care of people, and helped him out, "Mark, I have something urgent to do with Lex here.
Thing, have you seen where he is?"
"Lex's words... He hasn't shown up yet, so he is probably preparing it upstairs." Of course, Mark could see that Linton was too lazy to pay attention to what he meant. Even if he didn't understand English, Bruce could help translate it. Linton
But he didn't even look at himself, and he obviously didn't want to talk to him. In this case, he wouldn't ask for trouble. He and Bruce weren't that familiar, so he just said hello.
After socializing for a while, Mark here made an excuse and left. Because Bruce didn't show up much recently, and the other people at the party didn't know him very well, and no one came up.
"Are you here early?" Linton looked around, but he didn't find anyone who looked like Superman or Wonder Woman. Of course, Linton didn't just look for people with his eyes, he also tried his breath sense.
I don't know if people in this world can tell the difference using breath perception, but at least there is no one with a particularly obvious breath in the surrounding area.
"Are you looking for Lex?" Bruce said, "Didn't you hear that just now? Lex is probably still upstairs preparing. I guess... he will give a speech or something in a while?" As he said that, Bruce pointed.
There is a small stage next to it. In his opinion, Lex Group's party this time has a purpose, which is to make connections. Now that Lex Group is developing rapidly, it is the time when connections are needed. It is estimated that Lex will soon
Come up and talk about their group's goals, philosophy, etc.
"No, I'm looking for Superman." Linton said.
"Huh?" Bruce was stunned for a moment, "Do you think he will come to this party? He doesn't look like someone who would attend such an occasion. Wait, you mean... something will happen here soon.
What? A bomb? A terrorist attack?"
"Superman also needs to eat. He also has a part-time job as a reporter at the Daily Planet." Linton said.
"WHAT?" Bruce was stunned, "Wait, Daily Planet? If I remember correctly, this seems to be an industry under the name of Wayne Group, so what you are saying is that this guy's other identity has been hiding in my
Under your nose?”
"It's normal for you not to realize that the other person has a pair of glasses that no one will recognize as long as he wears them," Linton said.
"Kryptonian technology?" Bruce asked.
"No, it's the intellectual interference of metaphysics."
"ha?"
"Do I have to make it so clear? People in this world are all stupid. It's impossible to recognize them even if they wear glasses," Linton said.
"..." Bruce watched Linton remain silent for a long time, and then whispered into the earphone, "Alfred, check the list of reporters from the Daily Planet..."
"The pseudonym is Clark Kent," Linton added.
"Look up Clark Kent." Bruce said, "Okay, Alfred, stop laughing."
"Yes, Master Wayne." Alfred's voice came from the earphones.
"So as a reporter, will he also come to this party?" Bruce continued to ask Linton.
"Under normal circumstances, he would come to participate." Linton said, "Of course not only to deal with their editor-in-chief, but also to talk to you."
"Me?" Bruce asked.
"It seems that he doesn't like Batman as a vigilante." Linton said, "Especially since your behavior has become more and more irritable recently, isn't it?"
Bruce obviously didn't want to continue this topic. Indeed, he also knew that his behavior had been a bit irritable recently, which was caused by many reasons, and he didn't want to change: "You said that under normal circumstances he would come to participate..."
"Unless someone tells him not to come," Linton said, "when the result is already known, there is no point in coming."
"So if he doesn't show up, he's probably the person you're looking for, right?" Bruce nodded.
Just as he was talking, a beautiful host on the stage next to him seemed to have seen something, and said directly to all the guests: "Please pay attention here, let us welcome the president of Lex Group, a great philanthropist, a great collector, and a great collector.
Bibliophile and true friend of the Metropolitan Library, Mr. Lex Luthor."
Following her words, a handsome young man who looked very young walked onto the small stage. Although he looked very young, he was already a figure who controlled a large group. The other man walked onto the stage confidently, raising his hands and feet and revealing
There was an air of flamboyance, and there was a trace of madness in his eyes. It was the first time for Bruce to see Lex in person, and his first reaction was... the feeling of someone he couldn't get along with.
"Thank you all for coming, don't worry, the drinks tonight are free..." Lex began to speak with a smile, and the little jokes mixed in his words also made other guests laugh, which controlled the atmosphere of the scene very well.
Of course, Linton didn't have time to listen to his speech. He continued to look around, but still didn't see the person he was looking for, whether it was Superman or Wonder Woman Diana. Then this was... more obvious.
"As for teammates, there may be more than one." Linton touched his chin and said. After all, there can be five team members, and there is no rule that there is only one in each world. Now Linton has placed both Superman and Wonder Woman.
