Chapter 74 Clark (2 updates)
Metropolitan meseum.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Delos was unaccustomed to playing with the expensive suit on his body, and complained to Lex, who was also wearing an expensive suit, with some dissatisfaction:
"And you have to wear these things that feel very inconvenient?"
Lex snorted and ignored Delos's complaints. He took a sip from a special glass filled with champagne and said, "This is a reception at the Metropolitan Museum. It's a formal occasion. Everyone has to wear formal attire. You don't want to." Formal attire is not allowed in.”
As he spoke, Lex pointed to the dozens of men and women walking around in suits and gowns, as if he had never seen a big scene before.
"So you still think of me as a rookie."
Delos, who was feeling a little depressed, couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, I know. But does this have anything to do with my wanting to build a business?"
Hearing this, Lex shook his head and said helplessly: "Although it is said that you can establish a company or something as long as you have money, but you haven't forgotten that you still have one and a half years to go, right? American law doesn't Minors are allowed to serve as directors of companies.”
Before Delos could speak, Lex continued: "But no matter what, as long as you want to build a company, you have to communicate with tycoons of other companies, whether it is gossip or technology exchanges, you will always encounter this It’s a matter of course. You have to know that to be a person like me, no matter how you talk, you have to pass the test. Today, there happen to be a few senior people from relatively good small businesses here. You can communicate with them and use it as exercise. "
At the end of the sentence, Lex added a few words: "You don't have to worry that they will just ignore you. After all, you followed me in. These little people have to give me some face."
After saying that, Lex walked away with an expression that looked like 'good luck to you' but actually meant 'I'll laugh at you'.Delos, who was left with a depressed look on his face, secretly scolded him for being unkind.
In fact, Delos had done this kind of communication in his previous life. Although it was not as good as Lex's performance, it was definitely not bad.He felt uncomfortable because he simply didn't like suits.As for the minor matter that Lex mentioned, it is also very easy to deal with. As long as Delos controls the skin deformation, he can become a mature man with a different identity.But if you want to make things bigger and avoid making others suspicious, you still need help from others.And currently the most convenient person to do this is Lex.
"Should I tell Lex some of my abilities?"
Delos was a little hesitant, not sure whether Lex would be willing to accept that he had superpowers.He thought about it and finally decided to think about it for a while.
"Delos." At this moment, Delos suddenly heard someone calling him.He turned around and saw Clark, who was wearing a suit and dress. He looked around with an uncomfortable look on his face and slowly walked over.
"Why are you staying here alone?" Delos couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you staying with Chloe?"
"She said she wanted to do girly things with other girls, but boys were not allowed in."
Clark pointed helplessly to the side and saw Chloe chatting happily with Lana, who was also wearing a more conservative dress.Lana's boyfriend Whitney, like Clark, retreated far away, sitting on a chair nearby and looking around with an uneasy look on his face.
"It seems that we are all the same. We don't like this kind of situation." Delos looked at Clark next to him and curled his lips helplessly.
Clark shrugged and smiled helplessly: "But Chloe is very happy today, so that's good."
"Wow~
Delos suddenly screamed strangely, which made Clark a little embarrassed. Then the former approached Clark with a sinister smile and asked: "Tell me the truth, how did you get along with my sister?"I thought you would have a crush on Lana for the rest of your life. "
"Well..." Clark didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little funny and a little tangled.It took him a while to say, "It's a long story."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking if you don't want to." Delos said a little boringly. Seeing Clark's wonderful expression before, he originally thought he could dig out some embarrassing things about his sister.But the other person's answer was that he didn't want to say anything.
At this moment, Clark looked at Delos. He seemed to want to say something to Delos, but didn't know how to say it.After several struggles, he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Delos, there is something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Delos looked at Clark with some confusion. Although the latter's face was a little nervous, he still said what he said.
"That's it. Thank you for saving my parents before. Also, I learned some things from my parents, about you knowing that I have super powers and that you have super powers."
"This matter..." Delos was a little surprised that Clark would ask this. He hesitated for a while and said, "Did Chloe tell you?"
Clark shook his head: "Chloe didn't say anything. Even if I mentioned it to her, she didn't say anything. She just asked me to find you and said that if you are willing to tell the matter..."
Clark didn't finish his words, but Delos roughly knew what he wanted to say.
Delos thought of some of the extraordinary things he had shown when he rescued the Kents before, and he thought Clark must have heard about it from his adoptive parents.It is estimated that Clark is suspecting that Delos is an alien like him.
This was exactly the reaction Delos had expected towards Clark.
Clark is neither a mutant nor an Earthling, but an alien.Everything made Clark look different, but also made him feel a strong sense of loneliness.Therefore, Clark's heart also longs to no longer be alone and to have a close companion, even if this companion is not from an alien planet like himself.
Delos deliberately showed off his abilities in front of the Kents, hoping to use them to lower Clark's own vigilance and make it easier to establish a relationship with the latter.After all, no matter how you look at it, being friends with people with superpowers will give Clark a sense of identification with similar people.
If this kind of relationship is obtained, it will be of great benefit to Delos.Whether it's taking blood or anything else.
But when Clark and Chloe got together, Delos was embarrassed to continue scheming against Clark.It is not a good behavior to plot against your brother-in-law like this. Although Delos is not a good person, he is still relatively disciplined.
Seeing that Delos was silent, Clark couldn't help but become a little anxious. He went directly to Delos and whispered: "I was bumped into by Chloe when I was using my superpower some time ago. She didn't react at all when she found out about it. Apparently he’s used to it…”
The implication is that you, Delos, must have been using this super power in front of her all day long, so she has become accustomed to it.If you still don't admit it, you are not very interesting.
What Clark didn't expect was that the reason why Chloe looked like she was used to it was because Delos captured the footage of the former using his superpowers with a camera and made it into a disc for Chloe to watch again and again.In addition, Chloe didn't want to be misunderstood by Clark, so she hid the matter.
Delos looked at Clark who looked anxious with a strange look on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to tell anyone about the secret filming.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Delos was unaccustomed to playing with the expensive suit on his body, and complained to Lex, who was also wearing an expensive suit, with some dissatisfaction:
