He muttered to himself, then quickly shifted his gaze to the side.
"No performance? Kara?"
The girl realized what was happening instantly and quickly said...
"This is Xu Fu-Xiao."
“Xu Fu, this is Hai Su. He is a Kryptonian like me. We played together when we were kids, but we haven’t spoken since.”
The introduction of Xu Fu used only five words, while the introduction of Speed used a long passage. Anyone who wasn't a fool could hear the closeness in their voices.
Having received a satisfactory answer, Xu Fu smiled and said...
“Two years ago, Linda and I were traveling back to Krypton in the Lonely Fortress in search of survivors when we happened to run into Zod and his men.” He paused, then asked curiously.
"You went with them?"
A look of sudden realization flashed in Speed's eyes: "So, you're the Earthling who defeated Sade and stole Star Trek!"
“The word ‘defeat’ is not the right word. Linda and I were passively responding to everything that happened. It was their attempt to take over the Lonely Fortress that led to the series of events that followed.”
"Aren't you called Lex Luthor?"
Xu Fu chuckled twice: "That was just a joke. You know General Zod is very powerful. For the sake of my life, I had to give a false name. I didn't expect it to actually work." There was a hint of amusement in his tone.
"To flee to another planet and forcibly abduct citizens of a country without legal authorization."
"In my opinion, only barbaric and brutal invaders would do such a thing."
"Mr. Speed, are you invaders?"
Linda quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Drink your tea! Drink your tea!"
Xu Fu glared at her and continued speaking.
“Clark introduced me to you. I heard you’re a close friend of his father, Joel, and there are signs that you’re on his radar.”
Xunlei lowered his eyes: "What do you want to say?"
Xu Fu shrugged: "I just don't understand. Joel died at Zod's hands as a friend. Shouldn't you avenge him? Even if you didn't, you shouldn't have gotten involved. That's not what friends should do."
As soon as she finished speaking, Linda's expression changed drastically. She had been thinking about Speed's purpose since last night and had completely forgotten about such an important matter.
"You really are with Zod."
The last sentence was left unsaid, but Speed's expression said it all—neither admitting nor denying.
Linda tilted her head to one side and said...
"Go away, I don't want to see you."
After returning to Krypton, she harbored resentment towards Zod, who had threatened her with Xu Fu's life to force her to abandon the Lone Castle. That incident left a deep psychological scar on her, and she still cannot forget it to this day.
When Speed's gaze slid from the girl and landed on Xu Fu, his lips twitched slightly. At that moment, he felt an urge to rush over and kill, a desire to smash every human's head to pieces.
Humans don't have much time left, so why bother with such trivial matters?
“Kara, I want you to understand one thing: you are not like Karl. You grew up on Krypton and have the purest Kryptonian blood in your body. Karl can fight for Earthlings, but you can't. You are a Kryptonian.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure on the sofa vanished, as if it had never been there.
Linda tensed up, the words she had just heard replaying in her mind, and she remembered the voices of her parents and childhood friends. Overwhelmed with emotions, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Krypton has been destroyed, and only a few people are left alive. Must we really fight to the death with our fellow human beings?
"You won't get involved."
Xu Fu empathized with her and put himself in her shoes; he could never do what she did.
"When choices are painful, avoidance is not the solution."
Linda wiped away her tears, "...I don't need you to interfere in my affairs."
After saying that, she kicked off with both legs and was thrown out of the window like a cannonball.
Watching the figure disappear into the horizon, Xu Fu shook his head helplessly.
This is Linda Danvers, a supergirl from Krypton. She's spoiled, willful, strong, and prickly, but beneath her tough exterior lies a soft heart, though outsiders can't see it.
To be honest, Xu Fu didn't like this kind of personality, but he was still attracted to her; it was a common male tendency to be shameless.
Boom, boom, boom!
A knock sounded, and Dior pushed the door open and came in.
“Young sir, a few people from the Ministry of Defense have come and they specifically asked to see you.”
“Tell them I’m not here.”
"The supervisor is Sam Lane."
Xu Fu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Take them to the conference room."
There are only four people on Earth who know Clark's true identity: besides Xu Fu, an outsider, his adoptive mother Martha, his girlfriend Louise Lane, and his cousin Carraso El.
When news of Zod spread around the world, Martha and Louise (Money, right?) both called Clark at the same time.
Both of them panicked, worried that he might do something unwise.
After whispering words of encouragement and reassurance to his mother, Clark returned to the Daily Planet and found his friend Louise there as well.
Why are they looking for you? Is it because of that spaceship?
Clark shook his head slightly: "I don't know either."
"What about Nakara? She's also a Kryptonian. Why didn't a Kryptonian general named Zod mention that?"
"Ok."
Clark interrupted her: "Don't get the wrong idea, Kara is on our side."
Recalling the various rumors about Carla and Xu Fu, Louise gave a bitter smile. She was so boring. Girls in love should only yearn for their boyfriend's appearance, not their inner self.
"What are you planning to do? There are conspiracy theories about you everywhere online. If Zod launches an offensive, no matter the outcome, they'll attribute all of this to you."
Chapter 1382 State Your Position
As a veteran of the media industry, Louise is very clear about these rules and regulations.
"Clark, you're a good man, a hero who saved the world. You can't get dirty. If you do, it'll be hard to wash it off."
Clark knew his girlfriend meant well, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Take the initiative, tell the truth, and state your position, regardless of the outcome."
Louise was a very capable person. She immediately understood the key points of the matter. After obtaining her boyfriend's consent, she took immediate action and used her connections to contact the White House to arrange an exclusive interview with Superman at 3 p.m.
However, she never expected that the person in charge of contacting Superman would be her own father, Sam Lane.
Somewhere on the military base, Lois, who was accompanying Superman to the interrogation room, was stunned when she saw an old man in military uniform not far from her.
Clark was also stunned: How could his father be here?
Sam Lane was equally dumbfounded: he had known for a long time that his eldest daughter had married a mentally challenged man from a farm, and had even used his abilities to investigate the man's personality multiple times, only feeling relieved after finding nothing unusual.
But he never expected that this silly boy would look so much like Superman.
puff!
Xu Fu jumped up laughing, giving the three of them strange looks, then shook his head and walked towards the waiting room. He wanted to see Louise with her makeup on.
The atmosphere is strange!
Louise sat in the interrogation room, handcuffed by Superman, unable to utter a single prepared sentence. The thought of her father watching her through the window made her tremble.
This made both her and Clark very upset.
Seeing her husband for the first time in such a setting, she found it hard to sit still, afraid that he would recognize her and then she wouldn't be able to say anything.
After a while, Louise coughed.
"Let's start with our background!"
"You come from an alien planet, just like General Zod."
"Yes"
Why did you come to Earth?
"It was an accident, but also a choice." "A choice made by parents for their child." "They decided to let me live here." "To do something meaningful."
"Does 'meaningful' mean saving lives?" (bbfh)
Yes, to the best of my ability.
"From an objective point of view, you did a great job."
Louise tried to remain calm: "We estimate that you have saved at least a thousand lives, and they are all very grateful to you. But what if Zod comes as an invader and starts a war?"
"That's why I'm here. If surrender can end the conflict, I'm willing to try."
The conversation lasted about forty minutes. It started off a bit bumpy but became smoother as they both broke free from Sam Lane's shadow and gained new strength.
It must be admitted that Louise was a very intelligent woman.
