Vol 7 Chapter 18: Hidden danger

"The Knights of the DC Family( Find the latest chapter!
In the dedicated office of Lex Enterprise Group, Vandal Savage was also sitting in distress, listening to Lex's story of his past. Only when Lex finished telling this story, Vandal Savage could solve the doubts in his heart, why, as Lex’s mother, Leticia Luther cooperated with the Apocalypse and had to go beyond his own children. It is unreasonable, including throwing Lex to the Apocalypse as part of the Darkside Godhead experiment.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lex's eyes also began to blur, and once again recalled his unbearable past.
"I think I was born. You have investigated my parents, Leonardo Luther and Leticia Luther. So I don’t need to say more about the story before my birth, you are all clear, tell me After I was born, the story before Lena was born."
"Yes, this is the part I am most interested in."
Lex nodded and continued there, "My birth is as simple as your investigation. It was born when my parents took what they needed. It was only when I was three years old that I showed it for the first time. After my extraordinary wisdom, everything changed. I still remember what I did at that time. I took apart the broken TV at home, reinstalled it, removed a few unnecessary parts, and added it. Some things I think should be added and optimized."
Hearing the description of Lex’s first time showing his extraordinary wisdom, Vandal Savage was also very cooperative to blow a whistle, because it sounds pretty cool, for a three-year-old child, it’s The gift God gave him is a sign that makes him different from ordinary people.
"Yes, it's your expression. After seeing me show wisdom far beyond that of my peers, even ordinary people, the married life without any emotional support has become active because of me. They all know it. What does such a genius offspring represent? As long as I am an adult and remain in this state, the scale of the expansion of the business map created by my father will only exceed his imagination. Therefore, you should be very clear about what I will live next. Life?"
Savage nodded.
"All the best resources will be poured out on you, whether you can accept it or not, your parents will do it."
For Savage’s answer, Lex also affirmed.
"Yes, as you said, after I showed extraordinary wisdom, I also behaved differently from my peers. How to say it, I feel very precocious. Those who were instilled in my mind by my parents' education The knowledge here can be understood by me in every aspect. At that time, my knowledge of the whole world was derived from the explanations of books and personal education, and I had never personally touched it.
Even with this kind of duck-filling education, it only took me a year to complete all the courses my parents arranged for me. They originally thought that these courses would support me in elementary school, but I overfulfilled it. When I was five years old. "
"Amazing, worthy of being the smartest person in the world."
"Yes, it's amazing, but I didn't know it at that time. This was just the beginning of my miserable life. I have finished learning everything that can be taught and learned, and the rest is up to me. Domain, to extend, but this thing does not come just as it says, it needs some practice. But my parents also had differences on this point. My father regarded me as a treasure and always protected me in the manor. He rarely went out to meet people, he was afraid his business competitors would do something to me.
My mother wanted to show me to the upper-class people in this circle and let them know what a genius son she has. So my parents’ previous active marriage also had cracks. They started quarreling and started to fight. After every fight, my father would drink alcohol. He is a guy with very poor alcohol. Every time he drank too much, he would do something. Beat my mother and then violent her. Well, in his statement, my mother is his legal wife. It is only natural for the husband to ask his wife to live a married life. It is not violent. "
Hearing this, the image of Lex’s parents in Savage’s mind has also been established. The man is a drunk and messy bastard, and the woman’s words are a little vain, but so far, there is not much disqualification, but This doesn’t match the image of cooperating with Apocalypse. At least in Savage’s view, cooperating with an extraterrestrial civilization like Apocalypse that cannibalize people without spitting out bones, you have to be a guy who cannibalize without spitting out bones. .
And Lex's story about his parents continues.
"Every time after violating my mother, my father who has not vented enough will come to me, take out his belt, and start to instill his principles into my mind, using the belt to beat. Oh, I was just a five The over-year-old kid, even smart and genius, in front of adults, I have nowhere to escape, and I don’t know why I run away. Isn’t I their hope? Are they the jewel of their reputation? Why? I want to be beaten? There is not even a reason.
My father would only tell me there, you are unique, one in a million, you are destined to be above everyone else and become the leader of mankind, and I am your father. Without me, you would not It will be born, and there will be no such talent, so you have to remember, remember everything I said, and can't disobey my words! He kept repeating these words that he could only think of, beating me constantly, ignoring my crying, begging, and tirelessly asking me if I remembered it.
When I remembered every answer I answered, he hit me hard, hitting me with cuts and bruises. "
Speaking of his own past, Lex's expression also became hideous and distorted. The memories he had never told others were always stored in his mind. With his wisdom and memory, he couldn't forget it at all, and would only be regarded as a box buried deep in his memory and he didn't want to open it. Every time he opens, his mood will become very bad, and when he is in a bad mood, someone will suffer.
"What about your mother, what role does she play in it?" Savage also asked.
And Lex smiled when he heard the words, a little sad.
"My mother? Ha, she is a clever woman who is more rude than my father's self-righteous teaching behavior. Every time she drags the body ravaged by my father, she walks to me, hugs me, and accompanies me. I cried together. Then I said, my poor Lex, everything will pass, you have to remember that all the suffering your mother is suffering now is for you, you must remember your father's words, he is right, you are destined to override Above everyone, including your father, but you still need time to grow."
Savage was dumbfounded. He did not expect that Lex’s mother was even more ruthless and sold it directly. For the mother, the child was naturally close, especially in this case, seeing his mother suffer the same injuries as himself. , The cause of empathy will make him recognize his mother more and rely on his mother. Savage can think of how Lex spent that childhood.
His father’s whipping, his mother’s miserable behavior, and the combination of the two, gave him a distorted view of the three views, especially when he had no contact with the outside world and communicated with his peers, he grew up like this. Lex doesn't grow crooked to get a ghost.
"This kind of life lasted for ten years. It didn't change until I went to junior high school, because at that time, my sister, Lena was born. You may not believe it. I grew up in this environment. When I was in junior high school, I was an isolated guy, because I didn’t know anything except good grades. I didn’t know how to communicate, communicate, cowardly, timid and distorted. But at this time, Lena’s birth changed me. I started to have some ideas that belonged to me."
When talking about his sister, Savage also noticed the change in Lex’s expression, which was different from what he had just discussed about his parents. Simply put, the whole person has become sunny, as if thinking of something. Sweet things.
"You don't understand that feeling, Savage. When I look at Lena sleeping in the cradle, I have a feeling that my sister will be as smart as me and as different as I am. When I realized this, I also began to fear, because I was afraid that everything that happened to me would happen to Lena again. What a terrible thing that would be, how could I make my sister suffer like this? The pain, you say yes, Savage."
"So you started singing against your father?"
Lex shook his head at Savage's guess.
"I have said that at that time, I was cowardly and feared more of my father than anger. How could I go against the tune? I just became more withdrawn. The first time after school every day I went home to look at Lena and take care of her. I don’t want her to be influenced by my parents. But at that time, my parents had long been in such a day-to-day quarrel. My father didn’t return home all day long, and my mother was also in his violence day after day. After indulging themselves, they started looking for men outside, but they knew each other well and still acted as couples, loving couples.
Until our family of four went to Smallville to inspect our company, our encounter with Clark changed everything. "
Hearing this, Savage was not calm, because he didn't expect that Lex and Clark would meet so early. They knew each other when Clark was just Clark.
"Oh, it seems that you are not very clear about everything." Lex looked at Savage's surprised expression, and also teased, then continued: "Lena was three years old at that time. I am almost the same. She also showed excellent talent. My father is also planning how to use the way of educating me on Lena, but before my father implements it, the trip to Smallville changed. His cognition.
There was a simple traffic accident and our family of four fell into the river, basically waiting for death. Then he appeared, covered his nose and mouth with a red scarf, easily lifted the whole car out of the river, lifted up our family of four, and landed on the bridge, and then just waved his hand at us. flew away. "
"This is the turning point?"
Savage still didn't understand how Clark's rescue operation had become a turning point in the fate of the Lex family.
"Yes, the turning point, the accident happened. Smallville Town must have been impossible to go to. When I returned home, my father was deeply shocked. He looked at me, took out his belt and beat me again, humiliated my mother, and said my mother Hooking up with a man’s troubles outside, because he felt that what about the superior intelligence I showed. In the face of this kind of accident, like him, I was just waiting for death and had no effect. And he, that saved our family. A person who can easily resolve all crises, my birth, more will only become his foil.
His drunkard for many years, the brain soaked in alcohol has been as broken as his crumbling business empire, and he doesn't understand that there is no inevitable connection between thinking. He just kept beating me and my mother there, drunk crazy there, and I can only hold Lena in my arms and continue to bear his whipping, for fear that Lena’s cry will attract him. Angry, and my mother fights with my father like a madman.
She was also scolding my father, saying that after all his hard work, everything was empty. The business is like this, and the relationship with her is like this. Even if her two children have been cultivated for so long, they can only be individuals. The foil. Just like the family name, Luther will always be just a loser (loser)! "
Savage listened to all this in silence. Regarding Lex’s past, he did not expect such a development, and he had to say that Lex’s parents were really not awkward, and they would become hysterical because of such incidents. . Thinking about it this way, the battle between Lex and Clark as Superman is justified, not only because of the problem of ideas, but also because of the influence.
Lex wants to defeat Superman to prove that he is not the so-called superman foil. He is Lex Luthor, the only existence in the universe in the world, who can defeat Superman!
"So what is the final result of this family quarrel caused by him?" Savage also felt that he was close to the truth and asked there.
And Lex just looked at Savage and didn't speak, but Savage was not a fool. The foreshadowing and the turning point in the front were enough to explain the final outcome. Therefore, he also said the answer for Lex.
"You killed your father, didn't you, Lex."
Lex's silence was the best answer. Savage didn't have any unexpected expressions about this result. If it was him, this father might have died earlier.
"Yes, I killed my father. When he was fighting with my mother, I just pushed him behind his back, and his fat body rolled down from the stairs, knocked his head and lay on the ground. Dead, my mother witnessed all this."
The story came to an end, Lex stopped telling stories about his past, but Savage still felt something was wrong. What does this have to do with Lex’s mother becoming an Apocalypse partner?
"I know what you are thinking. After my father died, the police came, but my mother cooperated with me and dealt with the scene together, falsifying the situation that my father fell and fell to death after being drunk. He indeed drank too much and fell. It’s normal to die, so this case was closed. But after that, I just fell from one magic cave into another because I had a handle in my mother’s hands, and I started to follow my mother’s Instructed to rescue the business group that my father had faltered before, and my mother became the leader at the time.
After that, my mother became like a different person, crazy obsessed with the so-called superhuman, seeking such existence in the world. Relying on the Lex enterprise that I saved, using resources to seek everything. I don't know why she is like this, but at the time, I didn't want to disobey my mother. I just let everything she did. At the same time, I was also responsible for taking care of Lena, nurturing her, and raising her.
Speaking of it, thanks to Lena's birth, because of her, I did not become a mentally distorted lunatic, although it was indeed a bit extreme in many things. But at least, I have walked out of the shadow my parents left me. What happened after that was very simple. I don’t know what my mother has done in these years of obsessive superhuman beings, but I think she got in touch with Apocalypse through some means. You and I know that Apocalypse is not They have visited the earth in modern times, and they have been here in ancient times. "
Savage was silent, because Lex was right. At that time, as the emperor, he led the army and fought with Darkside ~EbookFREE.me~ But needless to say, he lost and signed a humiliation. The agreement has allowed the earth to exist until now.
"It's still wrong. If you didn't lie, I understand why you were exiled to Apocalypse, but your sister, Lena, can't be ignorant of these things. Even if she was young at the time, the impression must be Yes, but I didn’t see her personality like you. Even if it’s protection, you can’t be so perfect.

Lex was helpless for Savage’s inquiries, and sighed: "Do you have to ask questions to be reconciled? It’s very simple. I brainwashed her memory and re-weaves a false story for her. , But with a bit of real memory, she built a perfect childhood for her. I don’t want the tragedies that happened to me to affect her future growth. This is the truth of the matter. This is why I joined the Illuminati. , But keep stabbing you back, and the reason for being exiled to Apocalypse, satisfied?"
Speaking of this, Lex is impatient, but Savage is still reluctant. Knowing the previous truth is one aspect, he came here to obtain the truth to warn Lex.
"I'm not satisfied with it. You have to ask your mother what she is going to do next. If she is still in contact with Apocalypse now, Clark's inauguration ceremony at the end of the month, do you think Apocalypse will move at all?"
Hearing this, Lex was also taken aback, because he knew that Savage was not alarmist. With his mother's distorted character, it was possible to do anything.
"Do you have a clue about my mother?"
"You can take a look at this report."
He took out a file from his arms and threw it on Lex's desk, and looking at the description in this report, Lex's heart also shook.
