Knights of DC

Chapter 1000 Hidden danger
In the special office of Lex Enterprise Group, Vandal Savage was also sitting upright, listening to Lex tell the story of his past.Only after Lex finished telling the story, Vandal Savage could solve the doubts in his heart, why Leticia Luthor, as Lex's mother, would cooperate with Apocalypse and go beyond her own children, all this It's all unreasonable, including throwing Lex to Apocalypse as part of Darkseid's godhead experiment.

After drinking a glass of wine, Lex's eyes also began to blur, recalling his unbearable past again.

"I think my birth, my parents you have investigated, Leonardo Luthor and Leticia Luthor. So there is no need to say more about the story before my birth, you know it all, tell me After I was born, the story before Lena was born."

"Yes, that's the part I'm most interested in."

Lex nodded, and also continued there: "My birth was just like what you investigated. It was very simple. I was born under the circumstances that my parents each got what they needed. It was only when I was three years old that I first showed After my extraordinary wisdom, everything was different, I still remember what I did at that time, I took apart the broken TV at home, reinstalled it, removed a few unnecessary parts, added Some things that I think should be added, optimize it."

Hearing Lex's description of the first time he showed his superintelligence, Vandal Savage also whistled very cooperatively, because it sounded pretty cool, and for a three-year-old, it was The gift given to him by God is a sign that sets him apart from ordinary people.

"Yes, it's your expression. After my parents saw that I showed wisdom far beyond that of my peers, even ordinary people, the life of a married couple who had no emotional support became active because of me. They are very clear What does such a genius descendant represent? As long as I am an adult and maintain this state, the scale of the business landscape created by my father will only expand beyond his imagination, so you should be very clear about what I will live in the future live?"

Savage nodded.

"All the best resources will be poured out on you, whether you can take it or not, your parents will."

Lex also affirmed Savage's answer.

"Yes, as you said, after I showed extraordinary intelligence, many of my performances were different from those of my peers. How should I put it, I feel very precocious. Those were instilled in my mind by my parents' force-feeding education. The knowledge in it can be understood by me no matter what aspect it is. At that time, my understanding of the whole world came from the explanations of books and private teachers, and I had no personal contact with it.

Even with this kind of cramming education, it took me only one year to complete all the courses my parents arranged for me. They originally thought that these courses would support me to go to elementary school, but I overfulfilled. When I was five years old. "

"Amazing, worthy of being the smartest person in the world."

"Yes, it's amazing, but I didn't know it at that time. This was just the beginning of my miserable life. I have learned everything that can be taught and learned, and the rest is up to me. field, to extend, but this thing doesn’t just come and needs some practice. But my parents also disagreed on this point. My father regarded me as a treasure and kept me in the manor all the time. Go out less and meet people, he is afraid that his business competitors will do something to me.

My mother, on the other hand, wanted to show me to the elites in this circle and let them know what a talented son she had.So my parents' previously active marriage also showed cracks, started to fight, started to fight, every time after the fight, my father would drink, he was a guy with a pretty bad drink, every time he drank too much, he would start to fight, Beating my mother and then beating her violently, well, according to him, my mother is his legal wife, and it is only natural for a husband to ask his wife to have a married life, which is not considered violence. "

Hearing this, the image of Lex's parents in Savage's mind was also established. The boy is a bastard who has sex after drinking, and the girl is a little vain, but so far, there are not many disqualifications, but This doesn't match the image of working with Apocalypse. At least in Savage's opinion, to cooperate with an extraterrestrial civilization like Apocalypse, you have to be a cannibal. .

And Lex's story about his parents continues.

"Every time after being violent to my mother, my father, who hadn't vented enough, would come to me, pull out his belt, and start to instill his principles into my mind by whipping with the belt. Heh, I was just a five-year-old at that time. Even if I'm a smart kid, so what if I'm a genius? In front of adults, I have nowhere to escape, and I don't know why I ran away. Am I not their hope? Am I a treasure in the palm of their hand to promote their reputation? Why? I'm going to be beaten? Not even a reason.

My father would only tell me there, you are unique, you are one in a million, you are destined to be the leader of mankind, and I am your father, without me, you would not You will be born, and you will not have such a talent, so you have to remember, remember everything I said, and don't disobey my words!He kept repeating the words he could only think of, beat me non-stop, ignored my cries, begged, and asked me if I remembered.

Every time I answered a sentence and memorized it, he would hit me so hard that my body was covered in cuts and bruises. "

When talking about these pasts that belonged to him, Lex's expression became ferocious and distorted. These memories that he never told others have always been stored in his mind.With his wisdom and memory, he can't forget at all, and will only be regarded as a box buried deep in his memory that he doesn't want to open.Every time he opened it, he would be in a bad mood, and when he was in a bad mood, someone would suffer.

"What about your mother, what role does she play in it?" Savage also asked.

And Lex also smiled when he heard the words, a little sadly.

"My mother? Ha, she is a smart woman, better than my father's self-righteous and rough teaching behavior. Every time she would drag the body that was ravaged by my father, come to me, hug me, and accompany me I wept together. Then I said, My poor Lex, it will pass, you have to remember that what mother is suffering now is for you, and you have to remember your father, he is right, you are destined to surpass Above all, including your father, you just need time to grow."

Savage was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect Lex's mother to be more ruthless in this trick, directly selling miserably. For mothers, children are naturally close, especially in this situation, seeing his mother suffer the same injury as himself , Empathy will make him recognize his mother more and rely on his mother.Savage can only imagine how Lex spent his childhood.

His father's whipping, his mother's misery, the combination of the two instilled him with a distorted view, especially when he grew up in such a situation where he had no contact with the outside world and had no communication with his peers. Lex is a ghost if he doesn't look crooked.

"This kind of life lasted for ten years, and it didn't change until I entered junior high school, because at that time, my younger sister, Lena, was born. You may not believe it, but I grew up in this environment. When I was in junior high school, I was an isolated guy, because I couldn’t do anything other than good grades, I didn’t know how to communicate with others, I was cowardly, timid and distorted, but at this time, Lena’s birth changed me, making me I started to have some ideas of my own."

When talking about his sister, Savage also noticed the change in Lex's expression, which was different from what he just talked about about his parents. Simply put, the whole person became sunny, as if thinking of something sweet thing.

"You don't understand that feeling, Savage. When I look at Lena sleeping in the cradle, I have the feeling that my sister will be as smart as I am, and as different. In my life When I realized this, I also began to fear, because I was afraid that what happened to me would happen to Lena again, what a terrible thing that would be, how could I let my sister suffer like this pain, you say yes, Savage."

"So you're starting to contradict your father?"

Regarding Savage's guess, Lex shook his head.

"I've said it all. At that time, I was cowardly. I was more afraid of my father than angry. How could I sing the opposite tune? I just became more withdrawn. The first time after school every day, I went home to look at Lena and take care of her. I don’t want her to be influenced by my parents. But at that time, my parents had long been separated in such day-to-day quarrels. My father didn’t come home all day, and my mother was also in his day-to-day violence. I indulged myself and started looking for men outside, but they still acted as husband and wife, a loving couple outside, even though they knew each other well.

Until our family of four went to Smallville to inspect our business, the encounter with Clark changed everything. "

Hearing this, Savage was also a little uneasy, because he didn't expect that Lex and Clark would meet so early, they knew each other as early as when Clark was just Clark.

"Heh, it seems that you don't investigate everything very clearly." Lex looked at Savage's surprised expression, and also made fun of it, and then continued: "At that time, Lena was already three years old. I am almost the same, she also showed excellent talent, and my father is also planning how to use the way of educating me on Lena, but before my father can implement it, the trip to Smallville town changed his cognition.

There was a simple traffic accident, and our family of four fell into the river, basically waiting to die.Then, he appeared, covered his nose and mouth with a red scarf, lifted the whole car out of the river with ease, lifted our family of four into the air, landed on the bridge, and then just waved to us. flew away. "

"Is this the turning point?"

Savage still didn't understand how Clark's rescue act became a turning point in the fate of the Lex family.

"Yes, the turning point, the accident, the town of Smallville was definitely out of the question, and when I got home, my father was devastated. He looked at me, pulled out his belt again, beat me, humiliated my mother, said my mother The nonsense of hooking up with men outside, because he thinks, so what about my superior intelligence. In the face of this kind of accident, I, like him, are just waiting to die, which is useless. And he, the one who saved our family Such a person can easily resolve all crises, and my birth will only serve as his foil.

His alcohol-soaked brain has been as broken as his crumbling business empire for many years, and he doesn't understand that there is no necessary connection between thinking.He just kept beating me and my mother there, and I was drunk there, and I could only hold Lena in my arms, and kept bearing his whipping, for fear that Lena's crying would attract his attention. Angry, and my mother, fighting with my father like a madman.

She also scolded my father there, saying that all his hard work was in vain in the end, the business field is like this, the relationship with her is like this, even her two children have been raised for so long, and they can only be individuals foil.Just like the family name, Luther, will always be a loser (loser)! "

Savage listened to all this in silence. Regarding Lex's past, he didn't expect such a development, and he had to say that Lex's parents were really out of their minds, and they would become hysterical because of such a shitty thing .Thinking about it this way, the rivalry between Lex and Clark as Superman is justified, not only because of the problem of concept, but also because of the influence.

Lex wants to defeat Superman to prove that he is not the so-called foil of Superman. He is Lex Luthor, the only existence in the world and in the universe, the earthling who can defeat Superman!

"So what is the result of this family quarrel caused by him?" Having said that, Savage also felt that he was close to the truth, and asked there.

And Lex just looked at Savage without saying a word, but Savage is not a fool, the foreshadowing and turning points in front are enough to explain the final outcome.So, he also told the answer for Lex.

"You killed your father, didn't you, Lex."

Lex's silence was the best answer, and Savage didn't show any surprise at the result. If it were him, the father might have died earlier.

"Yes, I killed my father. During the struggle between him and my mother, I just pushed him behind the back, and his fat body rolled down the stairs, smashed his head, and lay on the ground died, and my mother witnessed it all."

The story ends here, and Lex stops telling stories about his past, but Savage still feels something is wrong.What does this have to do with Lex's mother being an Apocalypse partner?

"I know what you're thinking. After my father died, the police came, but my mother cooperated with me and dealt with the scene together, and faked the fact that my father stumbled and fell to his death after being drunk. It was true that he drank too much alcohol and fell. Death is also normal, so this case is closed. But after that, I just fell from one magic den to another, because I had something in my mother's hands, and I also started to follow her mother's instructions. Instructions saved my father's crumbling business group, and my mother became the top leader at that time.

After that, my mother became like a different person, crazy and obsessed with the so-called superhuman beings, seeking such existences all over the world.Relying on the Lex company I saved, I searched for everything with resources.I don't know why she did this, but at that time I didn't intend to disobey my mother. I just let everything she did. At the same time, I was also responsible for taking care of Lena, nurturing her, and raising her up.

Speaking of it, it is really thanks to Lena's birth, because of her, I didn't become a mentally twisted lunatic, although I was indeed a little extreme in many things.But at least, I have walked out of the shadow left by my parents.After that, it's very simple, I don't know what my mother has done in these years of being obsessed with superhumans, but I think she got in touch with Apocalypse through some means, you and I know that Apocalypse is not They have visited the earth in modern times, and they have been here in ancient times. "

Savage was silent, because Lex was right. As the emperor at that time, he led the army to fight Darkseid, but needless to say, he lost, and signed a humiliating agreement, which made the earth Existed until now.

"Still wrong, if you didn't lie, I also understand why you were exiled to Apocalypse, but your sister, Lena, couldn't possibly be ignorant of these things. Even though she was young at the time, she definitely had the impression Yes, but I haven't seen the same personality as you from her, even if it's protection, you can't be so perfect."

Lex was helpless about Savage's pursuit of the bottom line, and sighed: "Do you have to ask the bottom line before you are reconciled? It's very simple. I brainwashed her memory and re-weaved a false story for her." , but with a bit of real memory, I built a perfect childhood for her. I don’t want the tragedies that happened to me to affect her future growth. This is the truth of the matter, and this is why I joined the Illuminati , but kept stabbing you in the back, and was exiled to Apocalypse, are you satisfied?"

Having said that, Lex was impatient, but Savage was still relentless.Knowing the previous truth is one aspect, and he came here to obtain the truth to warn Lex.

"I don't care if I'm satisfied or not. You have to ask your mother what she will do next. If she is still in contact with Apocalypse, do you think Apocalypse will not move at all at Clark's inauguration ceremony at the end of the month?"

Hearing this, Lex was also taken aback, because he knew that Savage was not alarmist, and with his mother's distorted character, it was possible to do anything.

"You have a clue about my mother?"

"Let's take a look at this report."

He took out a file from his arms and threw it on Lex's desk. Looking at the description in this report, Lex's heart skipped a beat.
