Maybe it's because the idea of a lawless little guy who is about to destroy the world at every turn is very, very dangerous, or maybe it's because a guy called Superwoman is too diligent? Anyway, even though more than a week has passed, the overbearing female president Kate has not dared to mention it again, or ask the lazy guy in Little Annie to come out again...
For more than a week, the female president Kate has been secretly using the advanced drones given to her by the other party to track and secretly photograph a certain superwoman who often appears in various places in the city, so that the active female alien People have added a lot of new news and exclusive reports to their media companies.
I don’t know why, but the superwoman has been very cooperative, which makes Kate very satisfied!
Anyway, judging from the results of the recent period, the results are generally pretty good... Especially when Kate secretly photographed Supergirl fighting aliens, Supergirl lost the battle against the mechanical monster 'Radient Man', and attracted the attention of men. After Superman helped and waited for the big news, her media company's life was really getting better day by day. A large amount of advertising fees, franchise fees, sponsorships, etc. made her make a lot of money, which was truly the envy of others.
It is precisely because of this that she held a Supergirl-themed dance here in her headquarters building today, and ordered all the young female employees in her company to put on Supergirl cosplay costumes. I plan to have a good celebration of my recent achievements.
"Who are you……"
"Maxwell Lord!"
"I'm really curious. Weren't you just kidnapped two days ago? If the superwoman hadn't rushed to save you in time, you would have almost lost your life... But it was only a day or two. You are now... I'm sorry, what I mean is: Why are you in the mood to come to my dance today, and are you still interested in hooking up with the young girls in my company? "
"Please don't mind, I'm just really surprised...I didn't expect that you would actually come to my dance..."
Yes, Kate Grant is a little curious!
This guy was kidnapped not long ago, and the next moment he went to his dance party to socialize... This man who runs a company, a research institute, and a technology company, his heart is really that big Big?
To be honest, when she sent the invitation letter to the other party, Kate herself never thought that the other party would actually come... But how could she have imagined that she would actually see the other party's existence here?
After all, if it were her Kate who was kidnapped and almost lost her life, she would at least take a good rest for a while to slowly recover, just like the danger she accidentally encountered when she went on vacation. Although She was saved by that little guy Annie, but it took her almost a month to calm down and forget about that terrible thing.
"Wow! Look who it is, the famous media tycoon—Miss Kate Grant!!"
After first giving an apologetic look to the person he was talking to, Maxwell Lord then teased a certain strong woman who was walking towards him in a somewhat exaggerated way.
"Please call me 'ma'am'!"
"Also, you haven't told me yet, why are you in the mood to come to my dance? It seems like you just had a day off yesterday, right?"
Not taking the other person's words to heart, whether it was a slip of the tongue or a compliment, Kate just smiled and emphasized a point before continuing to ask.
"Okay, maybe it's because you've been in the limelight recently and sent me a special invitation, so I wanted to come and relax and see you, a famous strong woman in the industry?"
"Ha! You may not believe it when I tell you now. When I climbed Mount Everest, I was just rescued from a big avalanche by a helicopter. Within a few hours, I immediately got to work. , and also launched a very successful tablet computer... So, being kidnapped or something, it is simply not worth showing off! So, Ms. Kate, there is no need for you to make a fuss about this?"
Seeing the owner of the ball, the female CEO of Kake Media, taking the initiative to talk to him, Maxwell Lord naturally joked and showed off his glorious past, signaling to the other party There is no need to treat him differently just because he was kidnapped two days ago.
Of course, he would not say to the other party:
In fact, it was because this ball was Supergirl themed, so he came here specifically to express his gratitude to Supergirl who saved his life! Although, there doesn’t seem to be a real Superwoman here, just a bunch of specious cosplayers?
"Ah!"
"Do you think I don't know that the way you escaped two days ago was not as easy as you said now! My drone has already taken pictures of everything, including you, the steel man with radiation There’s also Supergirl, and… Superman who shows up at the end and scares away that freak!”
"How about it, do you want me to edit your 'heroic appearance' at that time and play it on my TV station?"
Ever since she got the advanced drone system that little Annie gave her with the strange words 'Federation of Heroes' written on the nameplate, Kate had gotten a lot of various news materials during this time. Very!
Whether it's the previous scene of Supergirl fighting another group of aliens in the abandoned warehouse and saving the DEO agent's sister, or the whole story of Maxwell Lord escaping from the kidnapper in front of her, she has it all!
However, some matters involved the privacy of the other party, while others directly involved the relevant confidentiality departments of the federal government. Therefore, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she did not put it on the news screen. Just spread it.
"So this is ah……"
"Ms. Kate, if I guess correctly, you must have a set of very advanced news equipment in your hand, like a drone. Am I right?"
Hearing this overbearing female CEO Kate say such words, Maxwell Lord was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding, then shook his head with a wry smile, and finally stared with incomprehensible eyes. The other party's eyes asked this question.
"Sorry, this is a business secret, no comment at the moment!!"
Unfortunately, when she heard the other party's question, Kate just smiled slightly and did not answer the other party's words.
In fact, not to mention the Maxwell Lord in front of me, even the FBI has come to investigate her and her suspected surveillance equipment! However, they were unable to find evidence, and they did not dare to be too messy, let alone successfully obtain the set of equipment from their own hands.
Because she did not violate any federal laws, especially on the premise that they could not catch her directly or confirm that the high-speed stealth detection equipment that often flew in the sky during this period was controlled by her!
"Well, that's really a pity..."
The other party was able to monitor the scene of the battle in which he escaped after being kidnapped, and also monitored the scene of the battle between the two supermen and the 'Man of Steel' radiation man. It is obvious that the equipment in the opponent's hands must be very advanced. This made Maxwell Lord, a researcher with a background in science and technology, feel itchy, and he really wanted to borrow it to observe and study!
He must find a way to do this...
"Okay, Maxwell, don't do your little tricks in front of me!"
Both sides basically know the basics and are shrewd people, so there is no need to continue testing like this.
"Let's talk about something else first, like..."
"That weird masked steel man with radiation, did you see his true face when he was kidnapped? If possible, you might as well tell me what is going on with that brutal monster, what is he like? Why do you have to go against Supergirl?”
Now Kate only cares about valuable news and the more truths hidden under the surface that her own equipment cannot capture secretly!
Therefore, if Maxwell Lord, who had spent some time with the kidnapper, could provide some inside information, her media company would surely gain more benefits, right?
By then, whether it is ratings, public attention, or other factors, they will continue to rise with the tide.
"..."
"Ms. Kate, I remember... you should be the female president of a media company now, instead of a boring reporter who likes to inquire about such tidbits?"
Of course he knew that the strong woman in front of him used to work for "Daily Planet" and seemed to have worked as a reporter. However, their identities were different now, and in this situation, this strong woman actually still Don’t forget to work, why should you work so hard?
"Very good! Judging from your expression, I guess you must know it. Tell me, tell me now?"
She reached out and picked up a glass of whiskey from the waiter's tray, and after gently clinking it with the wine glass in the other person's hand, Kate took a sip and asked the other person seductively.
She believed that since she was the owner here and the other party was a guest, and what she was asking was not something involving the other party's privacy, then the other party would definitely not refuse her reasonable request! After all, this is basic common sense in communication, and she is confident that she can ask it at this time.
"That's right!"
"You're right, of course I know who he is, but... forget it, since you're asking now, there's no harm in talking about it. He won't live long anyway!"
Originally, Maxwell Lord was not going to tell Kate what he knew, but after thinking about it seriously, he felt that some of his less-than-glorious image was in the hands of the other party. Perhaps, he could say it now in exchange for the other party not to broadcast his bad image and pictures on the TV station?
After all, this kind of news media people have the lowest limit, they can do anything!
"I'm all ears!"
The corners of her mouth curved in an arc, and she realized that the other party was indeed ready to tell the kind of inside news she wanted to know. Kate's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and she prepared to carefully note down everything the other party was going to say next. Take a look. Are they the ones you need?
"..."
"His name seems to be Krul, a poor and stupid guy..."
Maxwell Lord thought of what he saw in the other party's simple 'laboratory', the photo, and some of the other party's identity information...
Anyway, after being rescued, he immediately checked the other party's relevant information, and soon, with his identity, he got most of the information about the radioactive man Iron Man as he wished, and also I probably know why the other person became so extreme.
"he……"
"Now I have received an excessive amount of nuclear radiation, and the amount is enough to cause death!"
"So, he needs to wear a mask and armor. In addition to protecting his fragile body, it must also be to cover up his troubled breathing and the skin that is starting to fall off and fester?"
"Ah……"
Speaking of this, Maxwell Lord didn't know if he was sneering or trying to express other inexplicable emotions. Anyway, he snorted softly.
"Radiated Man..."
"He is not as glamorous as you think, nor is he as powerful as you think. In fact, he insists on carrying out his revenge with one breath, until the moment he falls..."
"And obviously, if he's not killed, it won't be too far away from that point."
Maxwell Lord frowned, recalling the not-so-pleasant kidnapping experience two days ago, and then slowly finished all this before he drank up the wine in his glass. He drank it all, and then looked at the bottom of his empty glass in a daze.
"revenge?"
"I heard it, you just used the word 'revenge'! Moreover, I also noticed that the 'Radioactive Man' seems to have a problem with Supergirl. Come on, is there any quarrel or feud between them that we don't know about? ?”
Think about it, the radioactive man shouted Supergirl's name two and three times when he appeared in the video footage he obtained, like a sworn enemy? In fact, this has always made Kate feel a little incredible. She has never been able to figure out the reason. She even thought that the radioactive man was the leader of a criminal gang!
After all, Supergirl has only appeared in the past half a month, and she knows nothing about the past! And if she can get more details, maybe she can find more exclusive news and successfully dig out the true identity of the superwoman?
Then, use that information to threaten, or try to control the other party, or conduct an exclusive interview or something? Therefore, if possible, she really wants to know the reason for this. Even if there are no other benefits, she can process it into the kind of exclusive news she needs!
"No! There is no enmity between Radiant and Supergirl..."
"It's just that he has a grudge against Superboy?"
"I checked, that Krull, his wife, died accidentally during one of Superman's actions... So, he stubbornly believed that everything was Superman's fault? So, now we have all seen it , he hopes to kill Supergirl and let the other person taste the pain of losing a loved one, so as to achieve the purpose of revenge against Superboy?"
Maxwell Lord shrugged, put the empty cup in his hand on the small table, and then looked at the female CEO Cat Grant who was listening intently with a half-smile:
"This is such a sad story..."
Sad for sure, but also a huge bomb at the same time!
Kate was already thinking about what would happen if this kind of dark material about Superman was processed and put on the news with great emotion.
She is looking forward to this very much...
Of course, this kind of thing is also very dangerous, because if you are not careful, you may be retaliated by the radioactive man who has many lives in your body! By then, maybe Kate Grant's Kak Media Company and her own life will be in danger?
"Speaking of which, this matter is actually all your fault, beautiful Ms. Kate?"
Regardless of the other party's suddenly shocked expression, Maxwell Lord continued:
"Because in the exclusive interview you conducted with Supergirl a few days ago, you disclosed her identity as the cousin of Superboy to the public, so... this attracted huge hatred from the Radiant people to her?"
"and……"
"You should have also taken the photo. He almost succeeded in his revenge at that time!"
Just a little bit...
Thinking about the day when she was rescued, if Superboy hadn't arrived in time and scared away the radioactive man, I'm afraid that Supergirl, who still doesn't know where she is or what her identity is, would probably have been on the spot. Beaten to death!
An ordinary person could push a superhero to that level with his life-threatening attitude. This made Maxwell Lord even more interested in Radiant Man's equipment! When he was captured to repair the suit of armor for the other party, he secretly memorized the design principles of that thing. If he wanted, he could copy it at any time and transform himself into another person. A powerful 'radiant man'?
Of course, the radioactive contamination was too serious when the thing was running, so he would definitely not do that! Maybe, he can study it and improve it until it meets his expectations? But he is not in a hurry for that kind of thing, nor can he do it in a hurry. It is not a task that he can complete in a short time alone.
"So this is ah……"
"No wonder...no wonder I have always found it strange. When the male superman arrived at the scene, he only stopped the radioactive man from killing Supergirl, but did not subdue or eliminate the other party. It turns out that there is something between them. Such an amazing inside story?”
Superman killed Radiant Man's wife, and then Radiant Man couldn't defeat Superman, so in turn he wanted to kill Superman's relatives, that is, Superman's cousin - Supergirl? !
It's awesome!
She, Kate, actually heard another super exciting insider news today!
If she finds time to edit and describe it tomorrow, and then add some extra flair to her TV station to broadcast it, it will definitely cause a huge blow to the prestige of "Daily Planet" and the superman they feature, right? !
The shady story of a superhero and the tragic villain are sure to ignite the enthusiasm of audiences around the world and take Kate Grant's career to the next level!
"Ahem..."
"No matter what you want to do, now, beautiful Ms. Kate, how about we put aside those boring tasks and go in and dance together?"
Hearing the elegant and melodious light music starting to play at the ball, Maxwell Lord finished saying all the things he knew that could be said, and then he extended his arms toward this beautiful strong woman in a gentlemanly manner. Right hand.
Now, what he knows has been said. Later, in exchange, he will definitely need to find out some interesting content from the other party's mouth.
"No problem at all!"
I have carefully written down all the insider information, and I plan to find a gunman to write a "shocking" exclusive news tomorrow to give the "Daily Planet" and the superman who never gave me a chance to interview a good-looking Kate. •Grant put his delicate hand into the opponent's palm gracefully.
She herself is already the mother of a boy, so she will naturally not have stage fright when faced with an invitation to dance from such a man.
Then soon,
Along with the others, they walked into the middle of the huge ball hall and started dancing...
———————
When all the employees of Kake Media and some invited guests held a superwoman-themed dance party in the lobby on the first floor of their media building and celebrated the company's great achievements in the past half month, Across the street from the huge Kake Media Building, a group of capable men and women are busy, hidden in a vacant high-rise suite, and there are people who are secretly observing everything opposite them with high-power professional telescopes. .
And if you look carefully at the inscriptions on the chests of these personnel, it is not difficult to find: It turns out that these are actually a group of elite agents from the DEO Supernatural Operations Department?
"..."
The director of the DEO, Hank Henshaw, was holding a military eight-power telescope in both hands. He was silent and staring at the hall in the distance, looking at the men and women inside, the handsome men and women dancing, and a group of A large group of Supergirl cosplayers.
But it seems like his eyes are always locked on someone?
Because Alex on the side had already noticed that the eight-fold mirror in his hand had not moved, and his expression was still very serious. He didn't know what he was looking at or thinking about.
"Sir!"
"Are you really sure that Krul, the radioactive man, will definitely come?"
Alex thought her superior was just observing the situation at the dance, or assessing some safety factors, so she didn't pay too much attention and just waited patiently for the radioactive man Krul in the intelligence. appeared, while scanning the surrounding buildings and the sky with his sharp eyes, ready to deal with the worst possible situation at any time.
However, she didn't look as nervous as their minister.
At the dance venue opposite, except for a small number of waiters disguised as agents from their DEO operations department, they actually did not arrange too many personnel. That is not because they are not worried about the safety of those people, but It’s because that’s completely unnecessary!
After all, her sister, the superwoman Keira Danvers, who has been extremely popular recently and is as famous as Superman Clark, is at the dance. If the Radiant Man comes again, then the other party will definitely be able to deal with it and win enough Lots of time!
Besides, it seems that their current fighting strength can only be counted on her sister for the time being...
Because they cannot guarantee that the snipers deployed around can successfully kill the guy who may appear! And even if they could kill him, they probably wouldn't dare to do it easily! Because, if what Maxwell Lord said is correct, there is a nuclear reactor on the other side's chest, containing radioactive thorium and cesium-137. Once an accident occurs, it will cause serious consequences!
At that time, whether it is radioactive contamination or explosions, they are not what they want to see.
"actually……"
"It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. According to Maxwell Lord's confession yesterday, that guy won't live long anyway! By then, as long as we can find his body."
Hank Henshaw had a sullen face and put down the eight-fold telescope in his hand. He squinted his eyes slightly and kept locking his eyes somewhere in the lobby on the first floor of the Kuck Media Building across the street. He was motionless and didn't know. Still thinking about something, he was just dealing with his men absentmindedly.
"Then you are..."
Of course Alex could tell that their commander must have something on his mind. He seemed to be considering or worrying about other situations?
"Alex..."
“That little girl, I still think there’s something wrong with her, and a big one!!”
Finally, after taking his eyes away from the dance scene in the building opposite, Hank Henshaw spoke slowly in a somewhat dull tone, and once again mentioned the incident a week ago.
"?!"
"my Lord!"
"Sir, I really don't understand... Last Monday, didn't you already say that she was not suspected, and you even took the initiative to cancel the monitoring of her?!"
"Why are you now..."
That little girl, the other party has clearly cleared the suspicion, has evidence of alibi, and many days have passed, but the minister in front of me actually brings up the old matter at this time, this suspicion is too serious. ?
Why does he insist on clinging to something that has no basis or basis? !
"snort!"
"The mysterious high-tech equipment in the hands of the female president of Kake Media, the 'daughter of God' she deliberately promoted, the newly adopted little girl, and the plush hair that also appeared on the waist of that mysterious little man Teddy bear……"
"Based on the above alone, that little girl has enough suspicions!!"
Hank Henshaw said coldly.
Although he has ordered to cancel the surveillance, now all the evidences are combined and point to the little girl whose details have not been found out by their DEO so far. That kind of thing is very abnormal and very unreasonable!
In addition, a while ago, the female CEO, Kate Grant, was trying to cover up her secrets by producing and selling stuffed toys on a large scale. Her behavior, which was like cheating a fool, quickly aroused his attention and suspicion... So, Although he did not let anyone continue to monitor the little girl, in his heart, he had roughly determined the true identity of the 'daughter of God'!
However, what he needs now is just more tangible evidence and continued observation.
"That's it..."
"But sir! Contrary to your opinion, I still think you are a bit paranoid! Although some evidence currently points to her, more evidence is actually contradictory. Therefore, I insist that she is not us The person you’re looking for!”
Alex also picked up her binoculars and looked at the little girl for a while. After seeing the other party's behavior that was very different from the adults at the dance party, she reiterated her position.
"Alex, as an agent, your intuition is still not sharp enough..."
Hank Henshaw didn't mind too much that his subordinate was contradicting him, so after looking at him, he turned his head again to pay attention to the dance in the media hall across the street.
"..."
"I'm sorry, sir! I still think you're being too paranoid these days."
Maybe it's because the other party has been under too much pressure and been reprimanded too much by his superiors these days?
Anyway, Alex herself would definitely not believe that such a well-behaved and smart little girl could be the kind of warrior who can wear armor and fight! Therefore, she began to maliciously speculate about her old commander.
"Is that really like that?"
"certainly!"
"……."
"Alex, after all these years, my intuition has never been wrong..."
After being silent for a while, Hank Henshaw still stubbornly insisted on his intuition.
"As an agent, you can't just trust your intuition, you have to look at the evidence! Because 'sometimes, what we see with our own eyes or hear can deceive and affect our judgment.' This is what you taught me back then. Yes, I remember every word, right?"
"..."
"Ha! Interesting, Alex, have you learned how to disobey your boss?"
It was rare that Hank Henshaw, who had always had a cold face, as if everyone thought the other party owed him millions of dollars, actually had a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"No! Sir, this is not disobedience, this is advice, or can you say it is suggestion?"
Alex didn't want her commander to have the idea of dealing with a little girl, just like she didn't want him to deal with her sister Kayla.
"talk later…..."
Hank Henshaw was silent for a while and then said no more.
Anyway, his judgment cannot be easily interfered and shaken by his subordinates! Before the true identity of the 'Daughter of God' was determined, the little girl Anne Hastur who was hanging out at the adult social dance in the distance was the most suspicious one!
Now, while he is doubtful, he also needs to seriously think about how to contact the other party and how to find out the background behind the other party... Because in his opinion, whether it is Cat Grant or that little girl, They shouldn't have high-tech items that even their DEO can't understand!
presumably……
Behind that little girl, or behind that Cat Grant, there must be some mysterious organization that he doesn't know and wants to know about? !
"..."
(…)
(ิ◕㉨◕ิ)
(Report to the young master, there seems to be a group of agents monitoring you in the building opposite! Also, there is a black charcoal head opposite, and his eyes have been on you for more than twenty minutes! Ever since you just finished eating , until now... So, the younger one feels that he must have not eaten at noon, and then he has been hungry until now?!
(๑¯㉨¯๑)
——Idle time is idle anyway. Out of boredom, Tibbers began to tease him about his bad little master who came to eat and drink at the adults’ dance parties and even used himself as a seat cushion! )
"Um……"
(｡◕ˇεˇ◕｡)
"Hey! It's really annoying!"
°.°•(((p(≧□≦)q)))•°.°
"Tibbers, tell me, why does this world have a department similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Also, why does their director seem to be a charcoal-headed uncle?!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
On a certain floor of the building in the distance, there was a group of malicious guys who had been staring at herself and Aunt Kate. Of course, Anne had discovered this a long time ago!
It's just that, while eating just now, she used her powerful mental power to eavesdrop on the other party's conversations and actions, and knew that the other party did not seem to be targeting her or Aunt Kate, but was waiting for other bad guys to appear. , she didn't care about them, and let them watch her eating and drinking from a distance but could only stare!
"Just let them guys continue to stay there and watch, and they will be greedy to death!"
(ૢ^ꌂ−ૢ)☆
A black charcoal-headed monster, plus a young lady, was mumbling and pointing at her. She had discovered it a long time ago! It's just that Queen Anne, who is currently busy searching for delicious food and desserts at the ball, has no time to care about those guys.
(…)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
"correct!"
ヾ(´∀`o)+
"Tibbers, speaking of the spicy black charcoal-headed one-eyed uncle, I suddenly miss them a little bit! How about... if we are free one day, we can set up a teleporter for them to come over and get together?"
(*๓´╰╯`๓)❤
She, Queen Anne, never thought about the one-eyed, charcoal-headed Director Nick Fury! I didn’t even think about Uncle Hammer, who had lost his hammer, and Uncle Tin Man, who was thinking about researching the ‘Anti-Annie Armor’ all day long! She just... missed Uncle Colson and Aunt Melinda, and Aunt Pepper who always liked to give her delicious food.
I don’t know how those people are doing now. Could it be that they were suddenly killed by a big demon king who appeared from somewhere in the universe?
but,
Thinking about it, Anne thought it was unlikely, because those guys were actually quite powerful, and there were so many people. Without the infinite stones, the sweet potato head uncle from back then might not be their opponent.
(Do whatever you want, as long as you are happy...)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
"Ah?!"
∑(´△｀)? !
"Tibbers, it seems that the 'radiation man' they were talking about flew over..."
(ー`´ー)
Even though she was far away, Annie could sense the bad guy who had strong hostility towards this place. He was flying over at high speed and he should be there in about ten minutes?
"Forget it, leave him alone!!"
o(´^｀)o
It’s not like they’re here to cause trouble for themselves. Queen Anne, who is busy destroying delicious food, has no time to meddle in such nosy matters!
(ฅ´؎`ฅ)
The world is so big. Whether the uncle who flew over is a good guy or a bad guy, it has nothing to do with her. Let him go find trouble with that little superwoman! As long as the other party didn't bully her or Aunt Kate, she would cover her eyes and pretend she couldn't hear!
(＊／ω＊＊)
It’s fun here, the delicious food is so spicy, she doesn’t want to imitate those adults who spend all day thinking about fighting or other cuddling things!
