"It's very likely that there are no debris or traces of fire around the huge crater. It must have been done by human hands. No one but Kara could have such an ability."

Louise wondered, "If it's Carla, who is her opponent?"

Clark slammed on the gas, accelerating towards the hillside. The two men looked at each other, their expressions unusually serious.

Cape Cottage is a gem among the coastal cliffs.

From a distance, the bird's nest-like building shimmers with a silvery-white light, reflected on the azure sea, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

In front of the villa is a wide lawn, with oak, pine and cypress trees scattered randomly. The largest oak tree is thirty meters tall and there are two swings under it. Not far away is a small golf course, basketball court and tennis court. In late spring and early summer, this place will be a paradise for children.

To the left of the main entrance is a parking lot, next to which is a garden where beautiful flowers bloom even in winter.

The villa occupies a huge area, resembling a castle, and features a swimming pool, gardens, lawns, outdoor terraces, and various sculptures.

Louise snorted, shook her head, and looked around at her surroundings.

"The life of a corrupt and decadent capitalist will not cause any harm, will not cause any harm."

Clark parked his car in the parking lot, and the parking attendant standing next to him smiled and said something to him.

"Are those Mr. Kent and Miss Lane?"

Clark nodded. "Yes."

"This way"

The attendant bowed and smiled: "Young Master is on his way back. Please go to the main hall first."

Following the male servant, they entered the villa. As they passed the statue of the goddess, Clark stopped and frowned.

Louise couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

"The statue's eyes are cameras, there are hidden doors downstairs containing Vulcan machine guns, firearms are hidden in the flower beds and stone pillars, and there are various other defensive measures."

Louise gave a wry smile: "Why would that guy install these things in his house?"

Clark lowered his head.

“There is a lead wall underground. I can’t see what’s inside, but I’m absolutely certain that the villa has an underground base. The space there is huge; the entire mountain will be hollowed out.”

Louise said strangely.

"It seems this young master Xiao is hiding many things he doesn't want outsiders to see!"

Chapter 1171 Phased Planning

The three walked down a narrow corridor into a side hall of the villa.

The side hall is predominantly silver-white in color and features a modern, technological style. It is well-lit, spacious, and gives a sense of openness and tranquility. Standing inside, one feels refreshed and relaxed.

"If either of you needs anything, just call me anytime. I'll be right outside the door!"

The eunuch pushed open the door and gestured for the room to be entered.

Clark nodded slightly and walked into a side room. A wave of heat hit him, and the room instantly felt warm and cozy compared to the cold outside.

Just a few steps down the stairs is a beautiful fruit tree.

It was an old, unnamed tree with swaying branches covered in green leaves, and several fresh fruits hanging by the side, looking very appetizing.

The orange-yellow fruit had a slight sheen; it was neither a tangerine, nor an orange, nor a persimmon, but seemed to be a variety never seen before.

Louise studied them carefully but still couldn't name the trees.

Next to an old tree was a sofa, and sitting on it was a not-so-young girl wearing a gray sweater and a helmet. Her hands were moving rapidly, as if she were playing a legendary virtual game.

Clark asked uncertainly, "Linda?"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately stopped, took off her helmet, and glared at him angrily.

"Clark Kent? Louise Lane? What are you doing here? Who sent you!"

Clark looked a little embarrassed, while Louise laughed.

Xu Fu invited us to get together.

Linda snorted, "Sigh, nothing to do."

She threw the helmet aside, ran upstairs in her slippers, and the last thing she wanted to see was her "cousin's" ugly face.

Clark said hastily, "Kara, I want to talk to you about something, about alien parasites."

Upon hearing this, the girl stopped, frowned, and said...

How do you know about extraterrestrial parasites?

I met him once.

"rush?"

Clark nodded. "The battle has begun. He took a lot of my life force." He paused, then asked, "You encountered him too?"

Linda snorted: "Don't mention that disgusting thing to me, just thinking about it makes my stomach churn."

"The giant crater on the beach was caused by you."

"Who else but me?" The girl tilted her head with unusual disdain. "I taught him a lesson. If it hadn't been so dark, he wouldn't have been able to get away."

Linda speaks in a condescending manner, but her acting is so poor that she gives off a weak impression no matter what.

Louise realized her actions and blushed strangely.

"You're much stronger than Clark." "He fought the parasitic demon and ate half a truckload of food to recover."

An unusual blush crept across Linda's face. She coughed and decided to change the subject.

"what are you doing here?"

Louise placed a stack of files on the table: "This is the data on the demonic parasite we are researching. Joshua Allen, 24 years old, a Mexican illegal immigrant. This is what he looked like before he was parasitized."

Linda became interested, opened the file, and quickly flipped through it.

“Is everything written there true?”

"A thousand times more than this"

"Kaname? You're here to see Kagemi?"

"Yes"

Louise said in a deep voice, "After Kaname was taken away by the Huns, Clark went to the outskirts of the city to investigate. I think this case must be related to Mr. Xiao. Is he also investigating the demon parasite?"

“I’m not sure, but if that Mexican girl named Shikamaru really was captured by the hunters, then you’ve really come to the wrong place. Just wait, Xu Fu will be back in a bit.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl seemed to lose interest in the conversation. She turned on the TV and watched the boring programs listlessly.

Louise looked around the room and pointed to the fruit tree.

"I've never seen this kind of fruit tree before. What variety is it?"

"I don't know, Xu Fu got it from a cave called the Swamp Forest. It's said to be the only fruit tree in the world."

“No wonder,” I said, “I’ve never seen this before.”

Louise looked on with admiration and really wanted to capture the scene on camera, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she gave up the idea and continued walking forward.

Is that helmet next to you a gaming device?

Linda lifted her helmet. "You mean this?"

Yes, that's it.

The girl looked at the silent Superman and grinned: "This isn't a gaming device. It's a real combat simulation system designed by Kryptonian scientists specifically for their soldiers. Of course, some traitors who have forgotten what Krypton is like have never seen it."

Clark: "..."

I've stopped talking, and you're still laughing at me!

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by a cool breeze. Xu Fu returned, glanced around the hall, and said with a smile.

"Since we're here, let's eat and chat."

Clark didn't actually want to eat; he was only there for Shadow. But Louise shook her head, letting him know she would talk about it later.

The group arrived at the restaurant, where the waiter brought out the carefully prepared dishes. Today's main course was French-style baked snails, a very delicious dish that even Xu Fu, who loves spicy food, was captivated by its wonderfully salty and sweet flavor.

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Linda seemed a little reserved at the table, not as shy as before. It took her several minutes to prepare her portion of snail meat.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Fu said with a smile

"We don't have many ingredients for everyday dishes, so please forgive us if we are not attentive enough."

Louise replied, "Mr. Xiao, you're too kind. You can't find such delicious food in ordinary places. Thank you for your hospitality."

"No need to call me Mr. Xiao, just call me Xu Fu. You two must have something to do here, right?"

Louise and Clark exchanged glances, and the latter muttered something under her breath.

We are looking for Joshua Allen.

Xu Fu nodded: "I know him. He's that unlucky guy who was parasitized by the insectoids. He caused a huge scene at the villa last night and was kicked out. He then fled to Glencar Town. You must have heard about what happened behind the scenes."

Louise frowned.

"I don't understand why he's here? You couldn't possibly know him."
