Chapter 25: Cruel things are rewarded
"Officer Ryan, what happened?"

Peter looked out the car window and asked Officer Ryan who was maintaining order at the scene.

"A guy robbed the bank alone and injured the security guard."

Ryan put away the intercom, "This is the first time someone dared to rob the Luthor family's bank."

"The Luthor Family?"

Peter turned his eyes to the bank not far away.

The words "Luthor Family Investment Bank" came into his sight.

Jonathan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, complained: "Leno Luther robbed ordinary people's money, and the robbers robbed Leno Luther's money. The difference is that the former is legal, and the latter is illegal."

"Cough cough."

Ryan coughed and pretended not to hear.

"That robber is no ordinary man. Security said he was like a monster. These are troubled times. We should all keep a low profile, don't you think? Peter?"

Seeing Ryan turn the topic to himself, Peter shook his head and said, "I have always been a low-key person, Officer Ryan."

"Hmm, maybe. Have a nice afternoon."

After saying hello to Peter and the other man, he turned and left.

After Ryan left, Peter did not start the car, but looked seriously at the bank with shattered glass doors.

Which bastard did this?

The Luther family’s bank is their own “private land”.

Originally, he had planned to fleece the gangs in Metropolis and then rob Luthor's bank, but he didn't expect that someone had gotten there first.

"Peter, are you okay?"

Seeing that Peter was not driving and his eyes were fixed on the bank, Jonathan thought something was wrong with him.

"I'm fine, just wondering who did it."

As Peter spoke, he started the car and drove to the mayor's office.

Metropolis, Lionel Luthor's office.

Sitting in the manager's chair, Leno was watching the surveillance video of the Luther Family Investment Bank.

In the video, the guy wearing a devil mask grabbed the security guard's neck and threw him forward.

"Wow!"

The security guard's body shattered the glass and fell heavily on the road.

"boom!"

The security guard hiding in the corner of the counter fired a shot at the robber.

Unexpectedly, after being hit in the body, the robber just took a step back, then in front of the shocked gaze of the armed security guard, he grabbed him and slammed him against the wall with a "bang".

The security guard, who was hit on the back, slid down the wall, spitting blood.

Seeing this, Leno Luther frowned.

"Squeak!"

Just as he was watching the surveillance footage, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The little bald Lex Luthor walked in.

"dad?"

Seeing his son coming in, Leno Luther immediately pressed the remote control to turn off the surveillance video.

"Lex, you should have knocked."

Lionel Luthor turned around and faced Lex.

Leno always felt that he owed his son.

Six years ago, he drove two-year-old Lex to Smallwell.

As a result, Lex wanted to urinate on the way.

He was on a phone call at the time, so he did not accompany Lex into the cornfield.

As a result, a meteorite fell from the sky and hit the cornfield.

When he rushed into the cornfield, he found his son unconscious.

After the examination, it was found that Lex was not seriously injured, but his hair could no longer grow due to the radiation.

Lex didn't know that his father was thinking about the meteorite shower that caused him to stop growing hair.

He closed the door gently and said, "Sorry, Dad, I will be more careful next time."

"I want to talk to you about Varenna." Lex said with a stern face, "Dad, Varenna is a very competent nanny. I don't understand why you want to fire her."

"You came in here just to talk to me about this?"

"Yes, I hope you'll reconsider, Dad."

"You are still young and you don't understand many things, Lex."

Lex argued, "I'm not ignorant, Dad. Valena is a dedicated employee, so she deserves a reward, not a punishment. This is the normal law of nature. Isn't this what you taught her?"

"You think I'm wrong?"

"No, Dad, I just..."

Lex looked at his father's intimidating aura and his voice weakened a little.

Leno stood up and stared at him with a compelling gaze. "Let me tell you, Lex, people understand nature in a certain way, thinking that it is harmonious and fair, but in fact it is not. It is more inclined to the evil side, and cruel things are rewarded. Do you understand?"

Lex looked at Leno Luthor in astonishment.

It was like he was meeting his father for the first time.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally walked out of the office in silence.

Looking at his son's somewhat lonely back, Leno suddenly felt a little regretful.

I shouldn't have said this to him.

He was about to apologize to Lex when the phone rang.

Frowning, he picked up the phone.

"Sir, that swamp has been bought."

Leno Luther felt even worse when he heard that someone had already reached the swamp where he was about to attack.

"I don't care what method you use, just give me the ownership of that land!"

Leno, who already knew that the swamp was unusual, naturally did not want to let others take it away.

"Sir, we have already found out that it is Peter Padrick. He signed the contract with the mayor before us."

When Leno heard Peter's name, he was stunned.

After a while, he said to the other end of the phone: "Don't touch him yet."

"Peter Padrick."

He repeated Peter's name, his expression becoming complicated.

Peter was on his way back to the farm at this time, and he didn't know that someone was thinking about him.

"Buzz!"

The sound of a lawnmower was heard, and Zu was muttering that his father had not come back yet.

He pushed the lawn mower forward and cut the weeds from the lawn.

Because the pasture has not been cleaned recently, the grass is growing more and more lush.

Out of his obligation to help his family with farm work, A-Zu took the initiative to pick up the lawn mower and start weeding.

"Crack!"

Maybe something got stuck in the lawn mower, causing the machine to stop.

Confused, A-Zu bent down to check what was wrong with the machine.

He thrust his fingers into the gear wheel, trying to free a steel bar that was stuck inside.

"Oh!"

With a little effort, he pulled out the steel bar.

The high-speed rotating reamer also started to rotate, instantly wrapping his fingers in it.

A-Zu was startled and suddenly pulled out his fingers and leaned forward.

As a result, he got so excited that he threw the lawn mower into the sky.

A-Zu watched in astonishment as he threw the lawn mower into the sky like a baseball, and then it fell vertically.

At the barn, Clark, who was helping to move things, heard a strange sound coming from the sky.

"Ok?"

He looked up in confusion, and what he saw was the lawnmower that had been magnified in his eyes.

"clang!"
