The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 209 Negotiation of Conditions

Luther finally remembered to make demands.

After all, he was not a pure scientist; strictly speaking, all his exploratory spirit served to achieve a certain purpose.

Naturally, he wouldn't let a casual topic from Li Zhen distract him and cause him to forget about the most important things.

However, after Luther confidently proposed to resolve the crisis in order to clear himself of multiple criminal charges, the militaristic girl Kara took the initiative.

Amidst Luther's stunned and terrified gaze, Kara strode over, grabbed Luther by the collar, and slammed the burly man, who weighed over 180 pounds, onto the conference table.

The disciplined lifestyle of the wealthy, along with years of fitness and combat training, gave Luther a physique that would be considered strong by ordinary standards, but was utterly insignificant compared to the Kryptonians.

Karana's slender arms, less than half the thickness of Luther's arm circumference, gripped Luther's throat like iron clamps, making it impossible for him to break free.

"You're dreaming! You bastard!"

Kara shoved aside the blue beetle that tried to stop her and raised her other fist high at Luther's bald head.

"We asked you to save the Earth, to save your own home, and you still want to negotiate with us? It seems you, this cold-blooded animal, have no feelings for your home at all!"

Although he was furious, he did not immediately bring his fist down.

Kara remained somewhat rational; she didn't actually intend to kill Luther right now.

However, those eyes, which faintly glowed red, kept scanning Luther's face, as if calculating what parts to take off.

As Kara's gaze focused on Luther's right ear, the man, who was nearly strangled to the point of foaming at the mouth, finally heard a sound as beautiful as heavenly music.

Li Zhen's calm words easily extinguished Kara's anger.

"Put him down, don't make me say it a second time."

Krypton Girl perfectly embodies what it means to be strictly disciplined.

Although her eyes were still glaring angrily at Luther, as if she couldn't wait to give him a hot look, she let go the moment Li Zhen finished speaking, letting Luther slide off the table and fall hard onto the floor.

After catching his breath a few times, Luther, clutching his neck and coughing, forced himself to stand up, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Kara.

"Heh—you're quite different from Superman."

Immediately afterward, a hint of fear and anger appeared in Luther's eyes.

He had never been in such a predicament repeatedly.

"Fortunately, you're not the one in charge, girl from Krypton—I hope I can continue to speak with the person who truly has the authority from now on."

"Of course, Luther, I guarantee you can state your conditions, and she won't hurt you again without permission."

Li Zhen chuckled softly a few times.

Having received Li Zhen's assurance, Luther finally regained his composure. Although he was only wearing prison clothes, he still pretended to straighten his collar.

"This gentleman is quite magnanimous; it seems you don't hold the previous Doomsday incident against you."

Luther's reckless nature began to stir again, and he took a risky step, trying to observe Li Zhen's true attitude towards him.

If Li Zhen also wanted him dead, Luther would never have helped them continue their research against the Armadzo virus.

In his mind, human supremacy was only second; his own interests were truly paramount.

Without a solid guarantee, Luther would rather drag the entire planet down with him and perish.

"I can tell you very clearly that the reason you've ended up in this situation, besides offending Batman, is also because of me."

"The Justice League has never been sure how I will treat you after the Doomsday incident, so they have spared no effort to cut off all help that could exonerate you."

Li Zhen naturally knew what kind of scoundrel Luther was, but there really wasn't a good solution right now.

The crisis was swift and covert; by the time he found out, Batman was already in trouble.

Aside from Luther, I really can't think of a better candidate right now.

Although Constantine had hinted at it several times, seemingly from the sidelines, that he also had a way to deal with the Amorezo virus 0

If she had to choose between Luther and Johnny, Lee Jung would still prefer Luther.

"But I didn't detect any negative emotions in your tone."

Luther stared at the blue beetle as if he could see Li Zhen directly.

Although the gaze wasn't directed at it, the blue beetle still shifted its body uncomfortably.

"Ah, I don't hate you. I just feel disgusted that someone is watching my genes and trying to collect my body tissue samples to make clones."

Li Zhen remained as sincere as ever.

This is the real reason why he has remained silent on the Justice League's handling of Luthor's case.

Doomsday didn't cause him any real damage; in fact, it even helped him boost his stats.

If the Emperor is destined to arrive at a reality, even without the doomsday event orchestrated by Luther, there's a high probability that some other random event will lead to his success.

Doomsday not only boosted his stats significantly but also made him aware of the dangers of the Fear Spectrum.

Otherwise, if Li Zhen were replaced by the emperor under other circumstances, even disregarding whether he could return, if that invincible young hero were to be pulled away by a high-dimensional being from the original universe, he might not be able to defeat the regent Cui Ge from a thousand years ago.

The rate at which values ​​are increased in the original universe becomes 10,000 times more difficult than in the DC universe, and there's no way to take it out on Trigger.

He definitely won't go back to Witrum immediately. Without improving his stats, he can't win in a group fight. Once his defection is discovered, Trigger will definitely arrest him and put him in jail without hesitation.

When the collar is put around his neck, he might become a sacrifice used to fill the gaps on the front lines.

What if we don't go back?

He eventually becomes a resentful wanderer who roams the universe for the rest of his life. Perhaps he will live for a thousand years until the main universe's plot progresses, Mark grows up, joins the main characters, and then goes to Witrum to collect his debts.

Therefore, after considering everything, Li Zhen didn't hate Doomsday, nor did she have any special feelings towards Luther himself.

It's just disgusting.

That guy must have had his eye on his genes. If he weren't locked up in prison, who knows when he might have created a super hybrid Connor with both Varian and Kryptonian genes for Li Zhen.

Lee Jung didn't want to become a father unexpectedly, especially not to be both Super Connor's fathers with Superman.

"I know you want to be exonerated and freed, so I have a condition."

Before Luther could find the right words, Li Zhen spoke first.

"Never try to touch the genes of the Witrum people—this is not a simple threat, Luther."
