Clark looked at the handsome man in front of him with a somewhat stiff expression. He mechanically extended his hand to shake hands with the other party.

"My name is Clark, Clark Kent."

"Of course, I heard Louise talk about you."

Luther smiled meaningfully.

Chapter 295 Have coffee together?

Lex Luthor was not punished.

Although he needs to bear a great responsibility for what Doomsday did in Saint Rock and in Canada, those were things that could be solved by spending money.

Besides, the responsibility for this matter lies with LexCorp. What does it have to do with Alexander Luthor?

To be honest, this "caring citizen" did put in a lot of effort in the Steppenwolf incident, although he himself may have completely forgotten it.

Luther also discovered that his hidden hand had been used. His first reaction was disbelief, then shock, then anger, and finally calmness.

He did not investigate who was behind this incident. He only needed to see who needed his backup the most at that time to make a rough guess.

Judging from the United States' "zero-sum mentality", it is unlikely that it is them.

And please forgive his impoliteness, but he doesn't think the United States has the ability to crack the code he set.

So the only person or organization he could think of that could do such a thing without anyone noticing was the Justice League.

Perhaps this organization is the only one in the world that can break through his technology and take over everything he originally prepared for himself.

After realizing this, Luthor's desire to destroy these superhumans became even stronger.

And the first opponent he chose was not those guys without super powers in the Justice League.

Luthor doesn't like to pick on the weak first, he always goes after the hardest ones first! That's you, Superman!

When Doomsday attacked Metropolis, Luthor saw from the live broadcast that there might be some unknown little secrets between Superman and Lois Lane.

So he began to investigate Lois Lane's interpersonal relationships.

He discovered that in the past two years, the female reporter had been dating a small town man named "Clark Kent".

What surprised him was that this man looked like a small reporter on the surface, but was actually a major shareholder of Pioneer Technology. Even if he didn't work, it was enough for him to live a life of ease and worry-free food and clothing for the rest of his life.

He obviously joined the Daily Planet because of Lois Lane.

But what interests Luthor is whether Clark Kent knows about the unclear relationship between his girlfriend and Superman?

He was just too curious.

"Mr. Kent, have you known Louise for a long time?" Luther asked.

Clark didn't want to answer him, but he also didn't want to appear rude, so he just reluctantly responded: "Louise and I have known each other for almost two years..."

"Two years? That's a long time." Luther's expression was unreadable. "Are you sure that Miss Louise is loyal to you?"

Clark thought Luthor was provoking him, so he said a little annoyed: "Of course, the relationship between Lois and I is unbreakable!"

"Lex!"

Clark's voice suddenly broke off as he watched Lois walk out of her apartment in an evening gown. She looked so beautiful.

But Lois pretended not to notice Clark's expression and gently placed her hand on Luthor's open arm.

"We didn't miss the dinner, did we?"

Luther smiled gentlemanly. "Of course not, Miss Louise. By the way, you look really beautiful tonight."

Louise covered her mouth and laughed softly, "You flatter me."

Clark felt a little redundant, and a ball of anger rose in his heart. This fire came inexplicably and could not be suppressed.

But Clark still has his sanity. Although he doesn't like Luthor and doesn't like Lois to be with him, it is her freedom to choose who to be with, and he has no right to stop her.

So he could only stammer: "Uh, you...you guys, you guys are going out..."

Louise seemed to have just noticed him and said in a calm tone, "We have a charity gala to attend. You don't mind, right? After all, you have some little secrets that I don't know about."

Clark and Lois both knew she was talking about Superman's identity, but Luthor thought she was talking about Clark Kent hiding his wealth.

He was a little skeptical. As a young and wealthy man, having such thoughts was nothing. Instead, he felt that Louise was making a big deal out of nothing.

He was sure Clark Kent had misunderstood their relationship, but that wasn't the case with him and Lois, and it had nothing to do with Yanni, but he didn't say that either.

Could Clark say he minded? He couldn't.

Apart from a crush on a girl named Lana Lan in middle school, Clark has no other romantic experience.

Of course, Clark, the girls who have a crush on him, will never know this.

Just like he never knew that Lanalan had never forgotten him.

In short, due to his lack of experience in dealing with the current situation, Clark was very restrained from beginning to end. He gave way and let the two of them pass.

Clark's eyes were still fixed on the car until Lois and Luthor got in together.

Inside the car, Luther looked at Clark in the rearview mirror and suddenly said with some amusement:

"Why don't you just tell him that you only agreed to go to the charity dinner with me so you could interview me?"

Louise glanced at the man next to her. No matter how well-dressed he was and how respectable he looked, in Louise's eyes, he was essentially a scumbag.

So her tone was very rude: "This has nothing to do with you! Lex Luthor."

Luther closed his mouth like a zipper and raised his hands in surrender.

As a stylish capitalist, he would not bother with a woman.

After the car they were riding in left, Clark's mood suddenly became bright. Apparently he heard the conversation between the two people in the car.

He was even ashamed of himself for doubting Louise, for questioning their relationship.

But he still felt a little worried about Louise going to interview Luther alone.

Judging from the Steppenwolf incident and the Doomsday incident not long ago, Lex Luthor is definitely not a pushover, and he must go and look after Lois.

Clark then donned his blue uniform, broke the sound barrier, and took to the skies.

Dream world.

In an inspired dream controlled by Cortana, Dane welcomes a rare visitor.

She has brown skin that looks as smooth as silk, a delicate face, and a graceful figure, comparable to the Spirit of Kandak or the goddess of the divine realm.

When you see Mrs. Shangdu's face, it's easy to think of the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of the gypsies. In fact, she is indeed a gypsy.

"Madam Xanadu, welcome."

That’s right, the beautiful woman in front of him was none other than the descendant of the immortal ancient people, Lady Xanadu, and she was also a master of prophecy.

With Mrs. Jūdu’s qualifications, she should have been able to enter the state of inspirational dreams very early.

But I don't know whether she intentionally refused or for other reasons, she didn't show up here until today.

Mrs. Xanadu seemed a little confused when she first entered the dream world. When she turned around and saw Dane, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Dane!"

"Ok?"

This confused Dane. It was not surprising that Lady Shangdu could recognize his true identity, but were they that familiar with each other?

It was the first time that someone called him by his name upon meeting him, except for wizards, of course.

Mrs. Shangdu seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut her mouth.

It was a little different from what Dane had imagined. He had thought that Lady Shangdu, who had lived for a long time, should be a very stable person.

But as it stands, her personality is as vibrant as her appearance.

"Madam Xanadu, or Nimue Yinwandu, you should know why I sent for you."

Mrs. Shangdu quickly regained her composure. Of course, because of the impression he had just made, Dane thought she was just pretending to look mature and steady.

"You can call me Nimue, that's what my friends call me.

Yes, I think I know why you came to me this time, but please forgive me for being unable to do anything. Because of the disorder of fate, the future is no longer fixed, and I cannot see the whole picture of the future clearly.

Not even Madam Shangdu?

Dane frowned and continued, "Then why did you ask the interrogator to come to me? Although I know that it was the Wizarding Council that tried him, I don't know his true identity."

"No, I asked the questioner to come to you not because you can answer the questioner's questions, but rather the opposite. I hope the questioner can answer your questions."

The Riddler again?

Fortunately, Dane has gotten used to it. Predictions about the future are usually not very clear. It's like he remembers all the details like watching a movie. More key points actually rely on guesswork or reasoning.

Although Dane had a God's perspective, the development of many things was still different from the details in his memory. After all, he was just making things up and was not a real prophet.

Since Madame Xanadu said so, it proves that the questioner is the key to something in the future. What Dane has to do is to keep him in the Justice League.

Whatever that future event might be, it would never escape Dane's control as long as the interrogator was in his hand.

"That's all for now, questioner. I wonder if I would have the honor to ask Nimue to discuss some magical matters with me?"

As an ancient gypsy, Mrs. Shangdu should be proficient in many lost ancient witchcrafts. Dane accepted everyone who came and wanted to learn from them.

But Madam Shangdu smiled softly, as if she had expected this:

"I've seen people invite people for coffee on their first meeting, but it's rare for someone to invite me to discuss magic. Mr. Shazam, is this how you treat a woman you just met for the first time?"

Dane's expression was a little subtle. This attitude gave people the feeling...

"We can start there if you like. So, Nimue, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"

"Of course, I know a great coffee shop in New York, maybe we can go there and sit down..."

Chapter 296 Pandora’s Box

Just as Dane was heading to New York for his appointment, Cortana came to the Temple of Atlas in the Little God Realm.

The three goddesses have been waiting here for a long time.

Also here is Zatanna. She is now the caretaker of the three goddesses, preventing them from doing irrational things in this special period.

When Hespera saw the person coming, she found that it was not Shazam, but his secretary. She couldn't help but feel dissatisfied: "Is he unwilling to fulfill his promise personally?"

Cortana explained, "Dane has more important things to do, and it's just as well for me to fulfill your agreement."

Before the war began, in order to enable these goddesses to work seriously, Dane promised to send them to the new realm of God after the war.

It is not easy to travel to the new divine realm from Earth. The wizard Shazam can do that because he is dead in a sense, so his soul can reach the divine realm through the Tree of Life.

But the three goddesses certainly cannot abandon their divine bodies. They hope to enter the divine realm in a complete state.

However, the power of the gods cannot extradite them, and now the only one in the world who can help them is Shazam.

Dane could first transfer them to Hell, where the power of the divine realm could take them away more easily.

After hearing what Cortana said, Hespera and Calypso said nothing more, despite feeling very dissatisfied.

"In that case, please send us there as soon as possible! I don't want to stay in this place any longer!"

Although Dane helped them restore the Tree of Life, he did not allow the three goddesses to enter and leave the divine realm freely.

Therefore, apart from the fact that they will no longer gradually age due to the demise of the divine world, their lives will remain the same as before.

They were still faced with the same unchanging scenery in the divine realm, and they were tired of it. Strictly speaking, it was Hespera and Calypso who were tired of it.

In fact, they yearn for a colorful life on earth.

Although these two goddesses always mock how bad the human world is, they actually envy the rapid changes in the human world in their hearts, and they look forward to the new changes every day.

However, considering that these two gods had a bad past, Dane did not show them leniency just because of their yearning for the human world.

These two are already very old gods, and their views on the world are exactly the same as those of the old gods, and they can no longer be changed.

Dane didn't want them to imitate Zeus and create a flood to destroy the world and cause trouble for him when they saw something bad happening in the world.

Whether they can do it is one thing, but Dane doesn't want such a possibility, and will not give them any chance.

We are not related at all. It is impossible that just because I have your father's supernatural powers, I can really be your father, right?

Therefore, the greatest promise Dane could make was to send them to the new divine realm to live with the old gods, and he believed that they would be willing to do so.

Hespera and Calypso were indeed willing to go to the new divine realm and live with their father, Atlas. They had no objection.
