American comic book: God among men, Saiyan-Kryptonian hybrid

Chapter 56 Louise Lane

Seeing Wanda and her friends thrust into the public eye, Carrot Al wanted to call Stark and force him to write a 500,000-word account of their adventure.

But watching Wanda on TV, her eyes gradually welling up with tears under the public's concern, Carrot finally sighed and silently dialed the number for the public relations department of the Omnipotent Technology Building.

“Bob, go warn all media outlets and private marketing accounts that they will pay the price for any articles that smear the Wanda siblings.”

"After this is over, we'll find a way to make them fade from the public eye."

"We can't let them become tools for those unscrupulous media outlets to make money. You and the legal department should follow up on this and protect them at all times."

"Understood, boss. Don't worry, Miss Bulma has already given the instructions."

After hanging up the phone, Carrot El leaned back on the sofa, watching the sweet girl on TV who exuded a mature and sophisticated aura, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This girl is always so easily moved.

Since the world owes you a debt of care, let it repay it. If it doesn't, I'll force it to.

"Clark! Someone's looking for you at the door!!"

Just then, Martha's voice called him from the courtyard, and Carrot Elton paused for a moment:
"Huh? Looking for me?"

Who could possibly find him and get him here?

"coming."

Puzzled, Carrot pulled on a pair of trousers and called out towards the door.

In the yard, Martha was feeding the chickens and dogs, while Jonathan was preparing to build a stable, since the Kent family farm's location wasn't suitable for driving.

So he plans to raise two horses, partly as pets, and partly to keep the cows in the barn company.

As Carrot El walked into the courtyard, a city girl in formal attire immediately cast a curious glance at him.

"Who are you??"

"It was really not easy to find you, mysterious Mr. Al. My name is Louise Lane, from the Daily Planet."

Louise Lane exuded confidence; she certainly had the right to be confident in finding this place on her own.

Carrot El's pupils contracted, and he froze in surprise for a moment.

Louise Lane?
Superman's official love interest?
Carrot El sized up the girl in front of him. He would have been more surprised if someone else had found this place, but Louise Lane made perfect sense.

For no other reason than her and Superman's destiny in countless universes.

Louise Lane turned her head slightly, looking at El while also glancing at the farmhouse in front of her:

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

"I walked for two hours."

Carrot El returned to the house, took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, tossed one to her, glanced at his adoptive parents beside him, and shook his head.

"No, let's talk outside."

After saying that, he pulled Louise Lane outside, and the two walked into the wheat field, among the golden ears of wheat, until they were all alone.

What do you want from me?

"Interview?"

Louise Lane nodded, observing Carrot with a smile. Sunlight bathed the two of them, leaving only their gazes locked on each other in the wheat field.

"Yes, Mr. Al, I attended the first launch of the Universal Capsule Company, but unfortunately I didn't see you there."

"So I'd like to know the story of a business legend, and I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to do so?"

Carrot El listened to Louise Lane's fluctuating heartbeat and immediately shook his head:
"If it's half true and half false, you'd better replace the false part with the true part, and maybe I'll agree."

Louise Lane's face stiffened. She hadn't expected to be exposed so quickly. She could only shrug and take out the voice recorder from her pocket, symbolically turning it off.

"Okay, that was indeed my original purpose." "And what's your purpose now?"

“I arrived three days ago.”

Louise Lane hesitated for a moment, seemingly assessing whether there would be any danger in speaking out:
"I discovered some other things here."

"About you."

Upon hearing this, Carrot El nodded calmly. He never expected the nearby farmers to keep his secret for a lifetime; he was already grateful that they could spare five years.
"So, Ms. Louise, are you going to expose these things?"

Louise Lane fell silent, unsure how to answer, but Carrot El continued to ask:

Have you thought about the consequences?

"First, I can kill you to silence you."

"Secondly, once my affairs are exposed, it will not be me who suffers, but you."

"Leaving aside whether the public would accept it, do you think Zheng Shu would allow such rumors to spread?"

“One report and Planet Daily might shut down in an instant, or even disappear from the world overnight.”

Carrot El looked at her calmly, his most nonchalant and contemptuous warning sending chills down Louise Lane's spine.

Standing for a long time beneath the golden wheat field, Louise Lane finally nodded solemnly: "I know the answer."

"So...you really do have that kind of superpower?"

Carrot El murmured in reply, "Yes, and stronger than you think."

Louise Lane mimicked Carrot's posture of crossing her arms, placing her hands protectively in front of her chest as well, and smiled gently:

"Then this can be considered a secret between us."

"Of course, that's on the condition that you destroy the recording pen you've hidden somewhere."

"Yes, it's the spot where you put your hand. Don't try to hide it, I can see it."

Louise Lane: "."

Suddenly, at that moment, a phone call came in on his cell phone, and when Carrot answered the call and heard the contents, his expression gradually became serious.

"Ok?"

"Well, okay, I see."

"Thanks, Natasha. Could you please send the details to my computer?"

"Leave this to me, don't get involved. It's not something you can handle."

After hanging up the phone, Carrot El seemed to forget that there was someone beside him. He just kept his head down silently, lost in thought, when suddenly a plant-like substance came out of his mouth.

"Grass."

"what happened?"

Seeing that Carrot's expression was a little off, Louise Lane asked him a question and handed him the hidden recording pen.

"Ms. Ryan, I also have a question. As a journalist, do you genuinely intend to use these methods to achieve something, or is it purely for winning awards and making money?"

Suddenly, Carrot El, who had just taken the recorder, crushed it to pieces with a bang, and looked at Louise Lane with a scrutinizing gaze.

Louise Lane gaped in horror, and blurted out without hesitation:

"Of course, we have them all."

Carrot El nodded: "That's good, Louise. Here's your business card. When I need you, I'll let you witness and report on something firsthand."

The transition is over, time to start finishing the stitching!
