Chapter 604: Killing an Eagle with a Borrowed Knife (Part 2)
Lex's butler also acted very quickly. It didn't take long for dinner to be ready. During the meal, Clark revealed to Lex the trouble he had encountered. Lex, who was sitting at the head table and cutting steak with a knife, paused for a moment.
, and then ask:
"You mean, a group of people disguised as the KGB entered your dormitory and were subdued by this rat?... It seems that they must be people from the CIA."
But Clark was stunned by his affirmative tone and asked: "How can you be so sure? What if it's not them?"
"I framed the KGB, but I haven't succeeded yet. Whether it's motivation or level, it's what the CIA should have." Lex continued to deal with the food on the plate and said while eating: "It's not surprising that the CIA is targeting you. Do you think you
You're very covert when you use your superpowers. In fact, in the eyes of those professional agents, you didn't do any disguise at all."
"You think you are taking off in a deserted place, but in fact, the disappearance of your traces is the biggest suspicion. Once they deliberately target you, every road you pass will be followed by dedicated people..."
"I think you must have done things like lifting the car with your bare hands and pulling down the door more than once in order to save people or help others. It is impossible for them not to know these things."
"You should know that Metropolis is the most important city on the East Coast, bar none." Lex raised his eyes and looked out the window at the door of Luther Manor and said, "All the important people here will be watched, including you.
I."
Clark shuddered and felt that the delicious food in his mouth no longer tasted good again. He said, "Don't tell me, this manor also..."
Lex shook his head and said nothing, but Clark felt a little uncomfortable. He said, "I don't like the feeling of being stared at by others."
"Then do you want to deal with those people? Kill them? Make them feel afraid?"
"Of course not." Clark said immediately: "Well, I know, that's their job, but it doesn't stop me from not liking spies. No matter which country I come from, I think most people are the same as me."
"So, can you tell them to stop bothering me? Even if I owe you a favor, you can always call me when you need help in the future," Clark said.
Lex pursed his lips. He was really not used to Clark's straightforward way of speaking, but in the end, he sighed and said, "Okay, I'll contact them for you, and then give them a warning and let them
Don’t go too far, but it’s impossible to completely remove surveillance, not even I can do it.”
"Then that's the only way." Clark said with some emotion: "I remember that when I was a child, there were always reports published between these two countries because of who had come up with new inventions and achievements, but why?
Has it turned into sending spies to each other and conducting surveillance?"
No one answered him, and this question echoed in Luther's manor and disappeared in the evening breeze of the metropolis.
This prosperous city is still bustling with traffic and will not stop because of anyone's questions or worries. It seems that it will continue to develop like this until it becomes a beacon for the entire human race.
After Clark left, Lex sat alone in the study of Luther Manor. He opened the door of the pet box, looked at Pikachu jumping out of it and said, "Professor Schiller has something to bring to me, right?"
"It's easier to talk to you. That Clark, he is a good man, a simple man, a noble man... too noble."
Pikachu jumped onto the bookshelf and sat down, crossed his legs, and said: "I did electrocute those two people, and they did invade Clark's dormitory. I didn't expect them to come to the door so easily.
Saved me a lot of work.”
"That medal shouldn't be found from them, right?"
Pikachu nodded and said: "Don't ask about the specific plan. In short, Schiller hopes that you can contact the CIA in Metropolis as you promised just now, and warn them not to follow Clark anymore.
"
"What on earth does he want to do?" Lex asked as he picked up a book to read. Pikachu shook his head, as if he didn't intend to say anything, but Lex didn't care either. He looked at the sky outside the study window, Metropolis.
You can have a panoramic view of the bustling night view.
At the CIA station in Metropolis, the person in charge, Keira, picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Okay... okay... what did you say? You mean, Lex Luthor, the new owner of the Luthor family, invited me to go
To eat, why would he..."
After hanging up the phone, Kayla stopped and thought for a moment, then said to the subordinate next to her: "Help me prepare the car and go to Luther Manor."
The CIA car stopped at the entrance of the Luther Manor, and the housekeeper came out to greet Keira. Keira was dressed in smart field attire, a sweatshirt, trousers, and a jacket. She looked energetic.
However, Lex's expression was not very good when he received her. As soon as they sat down at the dining table, Lex said straight to the point:
"You know what? You have been moving a little too frequently recently. Do you think the Luther family's cameras are just decorations?"
"This is for security reasons." Kayla replied in a routine manner: "These are troubled times. A murder just happened in the mayor's mansion before. It's not like you haven't experienced it before. You want Luther Manor to become the second one."
The mayor’s residence?”
"Don't even think about threatening me with this matter. What's going on? You know better than me. Luther Manor is safe, and you don't need to worry about my safety."
"Really?" Kayla's eyes stayed on Lex's injured chin, and she said, "Indeed, you only suffered such a minor injury during a trip to Gotham. Your security work is indeed very good."
Keira wasn't being sarcastic, she said it sincerely. After all, she had seen what kind of pit Gotham was.
"Stop talking about me, why are you staring at my friend? You even broke into his dormitory? Isn't this a bit too much?" Lex said, tapping his fork on the plate with great dissatisfaction.
"Your friend?" Keira frowned and asked, "Who?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me, didn't you also see the big man named Clark when he was at the mayor's mansion?"
Keira gradually recalled that during the mayor's murder case, there seemed to be a superpower named Clark who got involved with them. Keira sighed and said, "It's not our job to keep an eye on superpowers.
That belongs to another special security unit."
"Then I can only say that the security department is really stupid. They broke into Clark's dormitory casually, and even brought a Soviet medal with them to pretend to be the KGB. Do they think everyone is a fool?
Will you be fooled like this?"
Hearing this, Keira was stunned for a moment. An unnatural expression flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. She said: "Disguised as the KGB? You mean, the special security department responsible for monitoring Clark?"
Someone disguised as the KGB?"
"Yes, I know that they want to use Clark's special ability to deal with the KGB. In times like this, there is nothing wrong with doing such a thing, but... can they do it smarter? Even that stupid guy can see it.
Already."
"So, he came to me and asked me to give you a warning. Don't bother him anymore. He saw through your little trick."
Keira frowned deeply, and then fell into thinking. Lex called her twice, but did not wake her up. Then Keira said: "I understand the situation you reported, and what was found from them
Can you show me that medal?"
Lex took out the medal he got from Pikachu. The moment Keira saw the medal, her pupils shrank suddenly. She became expressionless and her facial muscles tensed, as if she was trying to control her expression.
But in the end, she said: "This is an important piece of evidence. Can you hand it over to me? If you keep it, if someone sees it one day, then..."
"I originally wanted to give it to you. I don't want to keep it. It would be bad if it becomes evidence of my crime someday. Are you right?" Lex said pointedly.
.
"I will vouch for you." Kayla put away the medal, then stood up and said, "I will go to the special security department to coordinate, but don't have too much hope, they are a very stubborn group.
It’s hard to convince people.”
"I just want to convey my attitude. If you don't do what I say, you will be responsible for the consequences." Lex also stood up and said with an indifferent attitude.
Kayla didn't say much, turned around and left. After getting in the car, she sighed, put her arms close to her body, and put her palms behind her knees to cover her slightly trembling fingertips.
When she returned to the intelligence station, she sneezed a few times, rubbed her nose, and then pretended to be low on energy and said to her subordinates: "I may have a cold. I'm going to the hospital. You can keep an eye on me this afternoon."
"Don't worry, boss. Nothing major has happened recently. You should go and have a rest. Since the murder case was concluded, you have been confused day and night for a long time. It's time to see a doctor."
Keira waved to them and left. It could be seen that her popularity in the CIA was much better than Benjamin's.
After leaving the station, Kayla hurried to the hospital, registered, found a clinic, and saw a doctor all at once.
Arriving at the doctor's office, Kayla winked at the female doctor. The female doctor closed all the curtains and closed the door. The doctor sat down and asked: "What's wrong? Comrade Valeria,
Why did you contact me suddenly?"
Keira took a deep breath and said quickly:
"People suspected of being from the special security department disguised themselves as our people and invaded the dormitory of Clark, the super-powered person. They were wearing red flag medals and wanted to frame us to anger the super-powered person and make him
Come and deal with us."
"I have sent the information about the superpower back to Moscow, and Moscow takes it very seriously because he is really very powerful."
The female doctor frowned and said: "Indeed, if they use such dirty methods, our field staff may be really hit hard. I will compile this situation into a report and send it back within three days at least."
You will get a reply within a few seconds.”
"But that's not the point." Kayla said with a frown. She took out the medal from her pocket and slapped it on the table with a crisp sound. Kayla emphasized her tone and said:
"The important thing is that the medal they used to disguise it as ours is genuine, the real Order of the Red Banner, and..."
The female doctor didn't wait for Kayla to finish what she said, she reached out and took the medal, took a look at it and said: "Yes, it is indeed our thing, and it is still early."
"This is not just an early Order of the Red Flag. It has a special mark on it. Someone once told me its meaning. It represents a special hero..."
The female doctor's hand holding the medal paused and looked at Keira. Keira also looked at her and slowly spoke out the name:
