Chapter 124 Luther: Who's Talking About Me?

Chapter 125 Luther: Who's Talking About Me?

Lex Industries is a subsidiary of Lexcorp, and its chairman is Lex Luthor, the infamous, or rather, notorious, Superman opponent who is well-known in Metropolis.

Although Jaeger's strongest impression of him was actually the shiny, bald head that looked like it had been secretly waxed when he occasionally appeared in the news.

Rumor has it that Lex used to have hair, but after going bald for some reason, it never grew back.

Another thing that impressed Jaeger about Lex Luthor was his social media account.

Like Bruce Wayne, Lex is also a verified Pingo user on the internet as a spokesperson for Lexcorp.

Influencer.

But compared to the party or banquet photos that Bruce Wayne often posts, Lex's account content is not so friendly.

Rain or shine, he posts a passionate rant or sarcastic comment every day without fail, criticizing the red and blue figure flying over Metropolis, always accompanied by the mysterious tag #SupermanGetOutOfMetropolis.

Of course, this tag only contains himself.

However, Lex Luthor's dislike of Superman and his repeated clashes with him are common knowledge and nothing new.

Moreover, his arguments are meaningless to most good citizens of Metropolis, but might be appreciated by some in neighboring Gotham.

However, on the other hand, given the nature of the criminals in Gotham, they would only say things like "Superman is on the side of the road" or "Get lost." Gotham can only belong to Batman!

"Lex Industries?" Superman's eyes widened in surprise. "Could Luthor have been involved in this incident as well?"

"That's strange." Louise frowned. "I thought he was only interested in collecting kryptonite, or maybe it was something he was after Superman. Why is he suddenly interested in this kind of thing?"

Wonder Woman had apparently heard of Lex Luthor, the notorious Superman opponent: "Perhaps Mr. Luthor wanted this ultimately to target Superman?"

"————" Louise glanced at Superman and sighed, "Maybe."

"At least now we have a direction, no matter what."

Louise said seriously, "It's too late now, we can't schedule a trip to Lexcorp. We can only go to Lexcorp tomorrow and ask Luther in person what exactly happened."

Upon hearing this, Yeger seemed to be deep in thought.

Although the mechanical device was indeed made by Lex Industries, and he even discovered the clue when he had the poisonous fog seep into the device.

But he felt that it was too early to draw conclusions that this matter must be Luther's doing.

After all, if it were Luthor, he might target Superman, but it's unlikely he would use such methods to kill Lois.

Moreover, given Luther's intelligence, it's impossible for him to leave such a handle—using something for assassination with the Lex Industries logo on it. Wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?

It wasn't even automatically destroyed afterwards, cutting off the clues—it was as if they deliberately wanted people to discover this.

Therefore, if Jaeger were to guess, it's highly likely that someone is trying to shift the blame onto Luther.

Even so, the fact that they were able to obtain Lex Industries' products strongly suggests that the other party has some connection with Lex Industries.

In short, we still need to go to Lex Industries to check things out.

"By the way, what should we do with this trophy?" Louise suddenly asked.

She looked at the object in Wonder Woman's hand with a serious expression: "After all, it's now confirmed that the person who wants to kill me is most likely after this trophy."

"Wonder Woman and I can keep it safe for you," Superman said. "After all, if the trophy is with me or Wonder Woman, those who have their eyes on it shouldn't dare to make any rash moves."

"Not necessarily, after all, it involves things related to gods," Wonder Woman sighed. "But it's the safest approach for now."

"Oh, right, there's one more question," Louise said. "We've temporarily teamed up for this, but how do we stay in touch later?"

"After all—" Louise glanced at the two superheroes, "neither of you is comfortable revealing your secret identities."

This was indeed a problem. The two superheroes immediately exchanged glances, both seeing a sense of helplessness stemming from the need to protect their secret identities.

Just then, Jaeger suddenly spoke up: "I have a way."

"You have a way?" Louise and the other two immediately turned their gazes toward them.

"Hmm." Jaeger nodded, then took out a small box from the inside pocket of his coat.

It was a box made of a special material, with the logo representing Parrels Industries printed on it.

Upon opening the box, Louise and her companions saw five objects that resembled headphones, but were much smaller and more compact: "What are these—?"

"Parelers Industries, a specially made communicator." Jaeger wanted to give a long explanation of its function, but due to Langdon's character, he could only swallow his words with some frustration and simply introduced it as, "It can be used for communication."

"To use it, do this." Jaeger picked up the communicator and put it in his ear, then picked up another one and handed it to Louise. Only after Louise put it on did he press the button on his own communicator. "Then you can communicate."

"The communication channel is independent, so there's no need to worry about it being hacked."

"Even Superman," Jaeger said, looking at Superman who had been suddenly called on and instinctively straightened up, "can withstand high-altitude wind pressure and low temperatures when flying at high speeds."

"Although I have a biofield around me, it shouldn't damage the communicator." Superman carefully took the communicator. "But thank you anyway."

"It's also waterproof and heat-resistant." Jaeger handed another one to Wonder Woman.

"And—" Jaeger raised his hand again and tapped the communicator on his ear three times, "the disguise function."

So, in the eyes of the three, the communicator seemed to have become invisible, disappearing from their sight in an instant.

"That's amazing." Superman used his X-ray vision to examine the area where Jaeger was wearing the headphones. "It seems to have used some kind of automated arrangement of nanomachines, combined with a special coating?"

"Yes." Jaeger nodded.

The inspiration for this communicator actually came from the Bat-Communicator that Batman had given him before.

After all, this thing is indeed very practical.

However, Jaeger added some of his own ideas to the bat communicator.

Batman doesn't need to worry about his teammates suddenly going up or down, and in Gotham, the regular Bat-Communicator is enough to handle most situations.

But Jaeger, having teamed up with Superman and Iron Man, couldn't help but wonder what would happen if his teammates suddenly flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters or fell into the sea.

Also, there's the disguise feature.

Although the Bat Communicator itself is a small, concealed, invisible earpiece, similar to those used by CIA agents.

But Jaeger felt that this was still not safe enough, so he discussed it with the poison fog and, with the help of Parrels Industries, created this very special communicator.

However, due to the high cost of the materials used, it was not put into mass production.

Jaeger only carried five communicators with him in case of emergency.

Unexpectedly, we actually encountered a situation where a communicator was needed.
