Tuk-tuk-tuk.

With three dull knocks, the villa woke up from its sleep. A maid stopped her work and stepped forward to open the wooden door.

"you are?"

The man raised his head and smiled confidently. It was Luther. After many days, he came here again: "Tell your master that we have a visitor."

Pushing open the wooden door with both hands, he bypassed the maid and walked into the hall. The bodyguard followed closely behind him, never leaving.

…

"Tell me about it, come to me early in the morning." Arthur sat down, his back fitting perfectly into the sofa: "You don't come here, just to have breakfast."

"Based on your personality, you must have noticed that the world is gradually deviating from our inherent understanding." Luther said with a natural expression.

Arthur said: "That's true, but it only affects me a little bit." He raised his right forearm, and the distance between his thumb and index finger was very close, metaphorically speaking: "A little bit."

For unknown reasons, a huge creature appeared in the Pacific Ocean, and the U.S. government named it the Kraken.

It attacks a passing cruise ship, where Captain Atom goes to "negotiate".

The Kraken disappeared, but a lost civilization, Atlantis, appeared.

A civilization that had disappeared for nearly ten thousand years was suddenly exposed to the public in a form that transcended human society, causing an uproar.

"More than a little, man." Luther's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Ever since that stick appeared in the sky in Metropolis wearing pajamas, the crime rate in Metropolis has started to rise sharply."

"Are you referring to the guy named Superman?" Arthur said slowly. He remembered that the guy seemed to have appeared in the sky above Metropolis together with Cyborg as Superman on the day after he built the fortress.

"Flying, eyes that shoot out lasers, blowing out cold gas, indestructible defense. Unparalleled power." Luther felt a headache.

"If it weren't for the different appearance, I would even doubt..."

"Doubt me... right?" Arthur chuckled, not feeling any surprise about this kind of thing.

He has never concealed his strength.

The U.S. government has also known about it for a long time.

As one of the world's largest companies, Luther invades the military and steals secrets with ease.

Mainly because Cyborg left the government system, he was able to perfectly demonstrate the network technology technology belonging to the Lex Group.

Luther nodded calmly. He had studied the information stolen from the military and discovered Arthur's "alien species" identity.

"Except for the unshown cryobreath, you're almost exactly like him."

"What do you want to express?" Arthur said lightly, a little dissatisfied. He talked so much but never got to the point, these damn capitalists.

Jing can speak in a roundabout way.

"Compared to a strange alien who has been used as a test subject since childhood." Luther said: "I trust you more, Arthur."

"No." Arthur refused: "It's better for you to believe in Superman. Believe me, maybe you died unclearly that day."

The Superman in this world has some kind of mental illness, and he doesn’t lead an alien army to invade the earth like in the original work.

Instead, he ran to the metropolis and repaid evil with kindness...

"Look at me, Arthur." Luther's tone became more serious: "I'm not kidding you."

When both are aliens, he prefers the one he is familiar with.

"Okay, okay." Arthur said casually and waved his hand: "What do you want to talk about? If you don't say it, I will kick you out."

"I want you to be my bodyguard and attend a party." Luther said seriously.

Arthur paused and rolled his eyes: "Do you think I need money?"

"No need." Luther was confident in convincing Arthur: "But I think you need to attend this party."

Arthur said: "I'm not interested in boring parties."

A businessman's party is not like children playing house, eating and drinking, it is all about profit, overtly or covertly.

"I also hate parties, but this time it's different." Luther straightened his back: "The people invited to this party are people you would never imagine. The Queen of Atlantis, and the Queen of Atlantis who came out of nowhere.

Queen of the Amazons.”

"Two strange countries suddenly appeared. We must understand them in advance and learn more useful information. This is related to whether humans can coexist harmoniously with them."

"It's interesting." Arthur narrowed his eyes: "Only them?"

Luther shook his head: "The top level of the U.S. government, the superhero Captain Atom."

He paused for a while and continued: "The alien from Metropolis will also participate, so I need you."

"Are you afraid that he will lose control?" Arthur said: "With Captain Atom here, why not? I believe that with his title of American hero, he will definitely guarantee the safety of capitalists like you."

"After all, you are the lifeblood of the United States," he added.

"Please." Luther stretched forward: "Captain Atom itself is an uncontrollable factor. God knows whether he will suddenly explode like last time."

"Last time?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, recalling the ancient information he saw on the Internet, which aroused Luther's nerves: "What happened a few years ago, I hope you still remember it."

"..." Luther was speechless.

The nuclear explosion incident a few years ago shocked all mankind and will never be forgotten.

"Besides Captain Atom and Superman, are there any other superhumans who will participate?" Arthur continued to ask.

Luther replied: "Those who can attend the party are either rich or noble. They know the dangers of the party. They will definitely hire superpowers to protect them at a high price, just like I invited you."

After thinking about it, Arthur said: "I can participate, provided you use something to impress me?"

"Kryptonite." Luther didn't even think about it.

Arthur laughed out loud: "Luthor, we have been away for three days, so treat him with admiration. I no longer need kryptonite."

"..." Luther's heart sank and he began to think.

After thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't come up with anything that was enough to impress Arthur.

But he thought of a "perfect" reply: "I don't know what you want from me. I don't know much about you, and I can't guess what you are thinking."

"You help me, and I will help you unconditionally. Maybe it won't bring you material satisfaction, but spiritually, we will be the most sincere friends."

"..." It's rare for a ghost to be your friend. Arthur stood up from the sofa and said something different: "When will the party start?"

"Tonight." Luther stood up.

"So anxious?"

"That's why he was so anxious." Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way to find Arthur so early in the morning.

"Tell me the time and address." Arthur said calmly.

…

In a blink of an eye, it was the appointed time. Luther stood on the top of the tall building, wandering back and forth: "Why haven't you come yet? Damn it, he won't be lost."

Arthur is indeed lost.

He searched for a long time over the city, but could not find the building Luther mentioned. Finally, he had no choice but to fall from the sky and take a taxi.

"Hello." Arthur flew from the bottom of the floor to the top of the floor, greeted him calmly and landed next to him with a natural expression.
