I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 210 Luthor's Invitation

"Guests, now come to the most important part of our party."

The lights in the venue were turned off, and it was pitch black except for the stage illuminated by spotlights, and warm applause rang out at the same time.

"Great, please give us another round of applause, for yourselves, and for the beautiful stars we agreed to participate in tonight's fundraiser."

"Our single beauties will donate their time in exchange for your donations, bidding for an unforgettable date, dinner, movie, or a romantic cruise - of course, depending on your charm .”

"And your generosity will be used to rebuild the devastated Gotham City and provide help for countless homeless children!"

Jacques finally understood why Luthor said just now that the girl he liked could be solved by telling him. It turned out that there was still such an auction.

Hum - just at this moment, subtle ringing sounded from the ear, whether it was applause or other sounds, they all suddenly quieted down without warning, and the host on the stage seemed to be performing pantomime in Jacques' eyes.

"I've been waiting for this session for a long time—now, we finally have a chance to talk about something intimate."

Jacques narrowed his eyes slightly, and he noticed that Luthor put away his cynical expression just now, and in the center of his palm, a small circular mechanism was shining faintly.

"Don't worry, with this thing you can block Kryptonians' super hearing. Superhumans are such dangerous and troublesome creatures. They are just here to let your words and words be eavesdropped at any time. It can be said that their existence itself It is a trouble for human rights."

So it turned out that Jacques understood the purpose of Luthor's coming to have an awkward chat with him just now, and now is the real content he wants to talk to himself.

"Let me make a long story short, Jacques, I want to know the truth about what happened in Gotham City—to be precise, what happened underground in Gotham City."

Jacques and Luthor looked at each other for a moment, then said in a low voice calmly.

"Waller's press conference, as well as the interview with reporter Valli, contain the answers you want."

"Don't try to lie to me, you know how much truth there is! Although I don't know how you persuaded Amanda Waller to cooperate with you, what happened in Gotham is definitely not that simple—"

"The world is coming to an end."

"what?!"

Luthor opened his mouth wide and lost his composure by Jacques's flirty words, but he quickly recovered and looked at Jacques with a gloomy expression.

"I'm not kidding you, Joaquin Chow—"

"I'm not kidding, Lex Luthor. This universe only has about four years of life left, and if we don't find a solution before then, we'll all be annihilated together—that's what you want The truth, believe it or not.”

Jacques looked indifferent, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, and his mood became refreshed.

In the final analysis, the reason why Jacques kept this news from others is just to avoid others panic. If Lex Luthor wants to know, just tell him. After all, even if Luthor knows the news, he can do nothing, or Jack Kun instead wishes Luthor would do something about it.

And after Luther's eyes were fixed on Jacques for a long while, he sighed heavily with a hint of fatigue.

"Sure enough. Is that really the case?"

Seeing Luthor drank the fine wine in the glass, but with a bitter look on his face, Jacques became curious instead.

"You believed me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"No, the Lex Group has also studied the technology of the multiverse. I personally designed a machine that can detect the frequency of my own cosmic dimension. Do you know what I look like when I see the result?"

"I don't know, but I guess it's your current expression."

Luther picked up the famous wine and poured himself another full glass. When he wanted to fill it up for Jacques, he was stopped by his hand. After all, Jacques estimated that he had other tasks tonight, but he had to stay awake.

"That's a frequency that shouldn't exist. It's like knowing that 1+1 is equal to 2, but when you find two apples to verify, you find that when you put them together, it becomes three."

"How I wish my genius mind was wrong for the first time, otherwise there would be only one answer. This universe is a product of incompleteness, like a summer blister, which may disappear at any time-but there are still four. Years, knowing the exact time makes me feel much more relaxed."

Luther took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally adjusted his emotions, and put on his confident and haughty expression again.

"However, looking at you, it doesn't seem completely hopeless, right? Is there anything I can do to help?"

This time it was beyond Jacques' expectations. Originally, he thought that Luthor either didn't believe the news, or was directly driven crazy by the bad news, but he didn't expect him to accept the fact so quickly. It looks differently.

So should I tell him my current plan?With Luthor's help, it might be easier to find a way to enter Paradise Island, as well as clues about Thalia and Batman.
Jacques hesitated for a moment, then decided to shake his head.

"I don't know if my direction is correct. If I have new progress and need help, I will find you again."

Disappointment could be seen flashing in Luther's eyes, but he still shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter, if you need it, the financial resources and technology of Lex Group are your backup, even I want you to remember this."

Although it seemed that Luthor was very friendly, Jacques still didn't forget this guy's conceited and arrogant nature. Judging from the current situation, Jacques didn't intend to fully trust him.

Perhaps seeing Jacques' thoughts, Luthor didn't waste his time talking.I saw him lightly pressing the instrument in his hand, and in the next second, the noisy voice re-entered Jacques' ears.

Only at this time did Jacques realize that the "auction" seemed to have reached the last link, which was also the finale.

".I noticed that there are single men—or women—in the audience, so don't miss out on your last beautiful date."

The atmosphere in the venue seemed to be extremely high. Behind the increasingly excited host, a delicate figure stepped out, with blond hair shining brightly under the spotlight.

"I don't mean to offend people who have already decided to date, but I still have to admit that we saved the best for last."

"Tonight our eventual winner will have the honor of having the date of a lifetime with the most extraordinary girl I've ever met"

"Kara Zo-El, the well-known super girl!"
