Chapter 170 "Real" business war
Lex* Luthor was cut in the neck by an arrow.
The bright red blood soaked through his pure white suit, making him look extremely terrifying. He was somewhat frightened, and he took three steps back and sat down on a chair.
Everything happened so suddenly, it took a full second for his beautiful Asian secretary and bodyguard code-named [Benevolence] to react.
She swooped over, blocked the outward direction with her body, took out a handkerchief and pressed Lex's neck with one hand, and made an emergency call with the other.
For a while, Lex's villa was in chaos.
Two hours later, a certain military hospital.
Lex* Luthor was lying peacefully on the hospital bed, with almost no trace of blood on his already fair face.
Looking at his female secretary [Benevolence], Lex's pale lips parted: "Say it, no matter how bad the news is, I can accept it."
[Benevolence] She flicked her drooping bangs, but she didn't look well. It was obvious that she had neglected her duty this time.
"This attack is completely unreasonable. Your home is made of 44mm five-layer bulletproof glass, let alone a 7.62mm sniper rifle, which can even resist long-range sniper attacks from Barrett's M95 anti-material rifle."
"But his bulletproof glass was shot!"
[Benevolence] She stopped talking, and she showed the pictures of the scene on her laptop.
right! It was such a glass that was shot and exploded by an arrow.
A hole the size of a small apple appeared in the glass.
"We slowed down the surveillance video to the extreme, and in the last frame we could barely see what should be an arrow-shaped object, and the damage it caused was extremely strange. Only Mr. Luther's neck was scratched, and the aorta was not even injured. .We couldn't find the warhead or any fragments at the scene afterwards."
After a long silence, Lex screamed: "Do you want to say that I was attacked by a superhuman with arrows?"
"Not sure, maybe something like a shotgun fletcher."
When Lex got excited, the stitched wound on his neck was oozing blood again.
At this time, what was broadcast on the TV in the ward was the speech of a congresswoman named Finch. She was making a speech, declaring that Superman, and even all the Extraordinary heroes who participated in the Battle of New York would come out and be questioned (interrogated). ask).
It is true that President Ellis passed the "Provisional Rating of Extraordinary Act", but passing the bill does not mean that all opposing voices have been eliminated.
Everyone knows that the bill itself is quite fragile. When an evil transcendent does something that seriously hurts the feelings of the people, the bill can be repealed at any time.
The validity period of the bill itself is only two years, and now more than half a year has passed, and it is almost time to discuss renewal or abolition.
Lex won't forget the **** he did.
In some desert the other day, he set a trap and caused a massacre that looked like it was Superman.
This incident caused an uproar in the United States.
Just last night, he hit it off with Congressman Finch and launched a wave of public opinion whose main target was Superman, but in fact it was to condemn the superhuman.
In fact, the statement is a bit similar to the point of view of Nick, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.—we can't count on the kindness and morality of those monsters who surpass mortals. We must have the ability to kill Superman, and even all the gods on this blue star.
Of course, the congressman's idea is even more brilliant, and it's basically nothing more than controlling Da Chao, who is better at speaking, and killing Da Chao if he can't.
Lex, there is no doubt that his approach is more vicious...
A hundred kilometers away from the military base, Ange was in his villa, watching Luther in the ward from a distance through a small portal.
Catwoman was also watching the 'live broadcast' with Anger.
She stretched out her graceful body on the chaise longue, resting her cheek with her left hand: "Is this the kid?"
Ange took a sip of Bingkuoluo, smiled and said his 'calculation':
"Well, his strategy is not bad - he hides in the dark, lets the councilors with noble status run as pawns, controls Superman with Superman's morality, and then plans to force Superman to kill Superman by controlling his relatives. Another famous superhero, Batman. Oh, maybe this is just the beginning, the best way is to use the hands of Dachao to kill all the superheroes on the earth, and finally kill Dachao with kryptonite. Perfect closed loop!"
Ange didn't mention a certain mysterious monster called [Destruction Day], because it didn't fit the calculation.
In fact, Lex would at least come pretty close to success without him as a time-traveler.
"It's a pity that he met such a cunning dragon." Catwoman spat at Ange.
There is a cunning called a fox. However, the fox itself is not very lethal.
A more advanced version is naturally a sinister black dragon or something.
"Are you complimenting me?"
"I despise you." Even if her body softens at the touch, Catwoman's mouth is still hard.
Ange smiled and accepted Catwoman's 'compliment' to him: "This young master Luther is very smart, but unfortunately his biggest problem is that he is used to thinking in the mode of business warfare."
The business war in the movie: the black-bellied president PK Master Duojin—sent a Tony Stark-level super hacker to spend an untold amount of time invading the computer system of the other company, collecting all the unfavorable evidence of the enemy; dispatched a widow-level female spy, Infiltrate into enemy companies, be seduced by beauty, hack into computers in the closed-loop system... High-end points directly staged the "Business Empire Trilogy".
Realistic business wars: directly poisoning the chairman of a listed company; leading a team to rush into the opponent’s unit to grab the official seal; instructing his subordinates to unplug the network cable of the opponent’s company; Even if the security guards caught him, he had to calmly show a polite yet awkward smile.
Outrageous?
That's how outrageous it is!
In fact, it is right to think about it, [high-end competition can also be simple].
You can physically destroy your opponent, so why bother?
Will humans apologize to the ant's relatives for the ant that was accidentally trampled to death by his shoe?
Everyone speaks reason and law, because the state machinery behind morality and law can restrain each other.
Yes, physical elimination is rarely played among chaebols.
Because you can play assassination or something, the other party can also play.
It’s like the old American political circles acquiesced in not being able to liquidate former presidents. Once this is done, it will open Pandora’s box, endlessly.
But when one party has a combat power far beyond the old American state machine, and upholds the idea of [As long as I am immoral, the other party cannot use morality to restrain me], Lex Luthor's behavior becomes very ridiculous.
I could only hear Lex cursing viciously, while trembling slightly: "Aren't you afraid of becoming an enemy of the United States? Transcendent!"
