The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 420 Suspicious clouds in the metropolis ([-])
The continuous snowstorm has caused problems in the transportation systems of all cities, most companies have closed down, and people are staying at home.

Even in cities where it doesn’t snow, the cold air makes the locals very uncomfortable. Compared with running to the streets in the middle of the night to suffer from the cold, it’s more comfortable to stay at home and watch TV.

But there was only one exception, and that was outside the gate of the mayor's mansion of the metropolis. At this time, this wide street was full of traffic, and all kinds of luxury cars were parked there.

Not far away, the helipads on the roofs of tall buildings were full of planes. In such weather, it would be a waste of time to come here by car. Therefore, the mayor of the charity dinner and the man named Luther Entrepreneurs are all on the tarmac to greet visitors.

If there is one absolute star among so many helicopters, it must be the one with the Wayne family logo.

Bruce in a suit came down from the helicopter. The cold wind blowing on the roof kept his hair fluttering. He turned around and helped Selena down.

A middle-aged man with slightly gray hair on the sideburns, but still looking energetic came up, he patted Bruce on the shoulder enthusiastically, and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Wayne, the last time we met was at the star exhibition game Bar?"

Bruce smiled and hugged him, and said, "Yes, Mr. Luthor, I remember that you donated generously in that charity exhibition match..."

"Just call me Lionel."

The middle-aged businessman named Lionel walked forward with Bruce in his arms, and said as he walked: "Don't say that, this is what I should do, entrepreneurs with a sense of social responsibility like us, of course we will not stand idly by the disaster, no ?"

The two walked in along the entrance on the top of the building, and Bruce looked at the interior of the building. He said, "Now this building is yours too? I remember the last time I came here, it was a... what is it called... …I forgot."

Lionel still smiled modestly, and he said: "Oh, yes, this was originally the base camp of a cruise ship businessman, but his business has not been doing well recently, so I bought it here."

Saying that, the two of them took the elevator downstairs, walked along the lobby through a small garden, and came to the mayor's mansion next to it. Lionel still smiled and said: "The biggest advantage is that we respect each other. The mayor is close enough, isn't it?"

"Yeah, the mayor can even take a bottle of champagne and spray it from your bedroom into your room if you're having a party in this building."

Bruce was still joking skillfully, Selena just silently took Bruce's arm and followed him forward, the cheerful state of Bruce made Selena's hairs stand on end.

"The matter of the last mayoral election..." Bruce lowered his tone, and mentioned it in a low tone. Lionel looked around and said in a low voice: "It's better not to mention it here, isn't that What a glorious thing."

"Seven of the candidates for the last mayoral election were spies sent by various countries..." Lionel continued to turn his head left and right, lowered his voice, and said, "If it weren't for the last election At that time, several candidates were assassinated, and their true identities were discovered during the investigation of the murder, and we were all kept in the dark."

"Then the current mayor..."

Lionel shook his head, sighed, and said, "Who knows? They're pretty much everywhere."

"Oh, by the way, when I mentioned this, I forgot to remind you that there may be some security checks at the entrance of the banquet later, you know, those annoying security agents..."

"Ever since that last election, that group of FBI guys have been staring at this place like they're all spies."

Bruce showed an extremely disgusted expression, but quickly restrained it, but the flashing expression was still captured by Lionel.

He patted Bruce on the back and said, "I'm the same as you. I don't like being searched. Later, I'll greet the mayor's staff. They will only check it routinely, not carefully. "

After speaking, the two came to the door of the mayor's mansion. Lionel stepped forward and said a few words to one of them. A female agent came up, checked their clothes symbolically, and then let them pass.

"Who are they from?" Bruce asked looking back at Lionel.

"They claim to be the FBI, but I don't think it should be. It may be the CIA gang. They have no law enforcement power within the federation, so they can only use someone else's name."

Walking into the center of the venue, the lights are resplendent, the tables are covered with gorgeous tablecloths, with slightly swaying tassels underneath, the glasses are placed in towers, champagne flows from above, and silver candle holders are placed at both ends of the long table , the sumptuous food is full of color, fragrance and taste, and celebrities and rich people in various dresses hold wine glasses and talk to each other.

After chatting with Bruce for a while, Lionel left. Bruce took Selena's arm and talked to her in a low voice, mainly warning her not to always stare at other people's gems.

Bruce took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, looked around the venue, his eyes fell on Lionel again, and he saw Lionel striding towards another figure, just in front of him When Bruce's eyes fell on the figure, his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, you are Professor Rodriguez, right?" Lionel stepped forward and shook hands with Schiller who had just entered the venue, Schiller nodded and said, "Mr. Luthor, I have known you for a long time. "

"Just call me Lionel." Lionel seemed to always have a businessman's very polite but not annoying smile on his face.

Before Schiller could speak, he went on to say, "Your recent paper on dreams and consciousness fascinated me. I never thought that human dreams could be explained from this perspective."

"Professor, your research results have opened a door to a new world for me and my son, especially my son Lex, who is very interested in this theory and eager to learn..."

"Actually, according to etiquette, I should communicate with you for a few months before inviting you to my dinner party, but recently, Lex is obsessed with this theory, so I have to take the liberty of sending you an invitation letter, I hope You can honor..."

Lionel used the kind of polite words commonly used by many businessmen, which made him appear very polite and sincere. However, there was still a little pride in his smile. Obviously, the Luthor family was no worse than any super family in the world. Anyone who is favored by this family should be proud.

Schiller nodded and said with a smile: "I am very glad that I can find a like-minded person here. Under normal circumstances, I would be happy to stay here for a few days and communicate with people with the same interests as me, but , what makes me a little worried is..."

As he spoke, Schiller glanced back at the few agents at the door, stroked the back of his hand, lowered his head and said, "When I came in just now, their formation was terrifying, I almost thought I was going to enter What is going to a secret base, Mr. Luthor, what is going on?"

Lionel heard a trace of dissatisfaction from Schiller's tone, and he hurriedly explained: "Sorry, is that group of people treating you badly?"

As he said that, he shook his head helplessly, and said with an indignant expression: "I heard that you also worked in the Metropolitan for a period of time and gave lectures at the Metropolitan University. The scandal surrounding the election has been heard..."

"The homicide case against the candidate has not been investigated for a long time, so we have no choice but to contact the FBI, but this investigation has uncovered a series of spies, the public's trust has fallen to the bottom, and the entire municipal and municipal system is in trouble. ..."

Lionel sighed deeply and said: "At that time, my business was also affected, but luckily I survived."

With that said, he turned his head to look at the group of agents, and said: "Since then, this group of people has a legitimate reason to stay here, check everyone they see, and treat everyone as spies suspect."

"Yes... I've heard about that incident." Schiller's tone sank, and he said, "I was also forced to get involved at the time. A vice president of the Metropolitan University was taken away for investigation. More than 20 professors have been listed as suspects, the involvement is too wide..."

Lionel flicked his eyes left and right, and then made a look, motioning Schiller to follow him inward, and the two came to the center of the banquet hall, farther away from the group of agents, Lionel lowered his The voice said: "I don't know if you know, this matter is actually very complicated, and it is also related to that big country in the distance. It is the result of the struggle of many countries, and we are all victims..."

"Don't talk about it." Schiller seemed to have lingering fears and was unwilling to talk about it. Seeing Schiller's attitude, Lionel changed the subject and said, "Thanks to this, many talents have left the metropolis." , but after a successful mayor change and my company survived the crisis, a lot of people came back."

"I also invited them to this dinner party."

"Of course, I'm not hiding it from you. I hope more people can return to this city. The dark times have passed. I believe that the future will get better and better."

There were hints of reserve in Lionel's words, and Schiller understood what he meant, and said, "To be honest, Metropolis was indeed a very good city before that incident happened."

"Although I don't want to say it, but if you compare it to Gotham, it's like paradise everywhere. The weather and transportation system in that city are terrible."

The two chatted a lot on this topic, and they talked about Bruce again. Knowing that Bruce is now Schiller's student, Lionel's smile became more sincere.

Talking here, Schiller seemed to suddenly remember and said, "Oh, by the way, I heard on the radio this morning that there were some serial murders happening here again. What's going on?"

Lionel hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Indeed, there is indeed a serial murder case, but..."

"boom!!!!"

There was a loud noise and chaotic screams, Schiller turned his head, and a black shadow descended from the sky and landed in the center of the banquet hall——

That's the mayor of Metropolis.

Or rather, the body of the mayor.
