Chapter 393: First Meeting with Lex

~9 min read 1,683 words

The sun hung weakly, casting drops of sunlight. Ye Nan walked into the underground base, and a cold, gloomy aura rushed toward him.

"Is Lex so unable to see people? Actually hiding in this kind of place." Ye Nan said softly, without the slightest respect for this Lex.

When he was about to leave Mary's house, he met Lex's people. Lex's people invited him to meet Lex, saying there were very important things to discuss.

Ye Nan accepted Lex's invitation and later arrived at this underground base with this guiding man.

"Mr. Lex is noble." The guiding man said with a fanatical face: "And he is not hiding, he just doesn't want to see certain people."

"Certain people? Does that mean Superman? If so, I can only say Lex is too much like a mouse. But that's right, as one of the criminals, Lex's physical fitness is not very good. Enjoying life, he always likes to win with IQ when facing superheroes. Of course, mainly because he is just an ordinary person."

"Do not insult the great Lex, otherwise, I will beat you, even if you are a guest invited by Mr. Lex." The guiding man looked back angrily. He finally could not endure Ye Nan's provocation of Lex. He swore that if Ye Nan provoked Lex again, even if he had to endure being scolded, he would teach Ye Nan a lesson.

"It's just stating a few facts." Ye Nan curled his lips.

"You are courting death."

The guiding man turned around and threw a punch, the wind of the fist whistling.

Crack!

The guiding man's whole face twisted. His fist was held in Ye Nan's hand, and under Ye Nan's force, he was in unbearable pain.

"Your speed is too slow." Ye Nan said softly, without the slightest expression.

His action was just to test Lex, but unfortunately, Lex did not seem to like this guiding man. In short, he did not come out.

"Forget it, since I'm here, I'll give Lex some face." Ye Nan let go of the guiding man's hand and, under the guiding man's horrified and fearful gaze, passed him.

"Come out, Lex. I know you can see me."

Ye Nan turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black corner. There, there was a glimmer of light, capturing the light.

"I have always been here, it's just that I was waiting for you here." Lex's voice was broadcast through a loudspeaker. "But since you asked me to come down, I will come down."

Ye Nan's footsteps paused, staying in place. Behind him was the guiding man holding his hand, his expression in pain, yet he made no sound.

"If it hurts, just say it."

Ye Nan's light sentence made the guiding man grit his teeth. "It doesn't hurt. What is this little pain?"

"Truly resilient, what a pity." Ye Nan shook his head. A resilient personality is one of the conditions for achieving great things. Even if one does not achieve great things, a resilient character can also make one stand out in society. But unfortunately, he followed Lex, and Lex's opponent is a superhero.

"I don't understand why you want to hurt my subordinate." Lex's figure emerged from the darkness.

He was wearing a black suit, a bow tie, and a large bald head. The bald head reflected some kind of light in the darkness, just like a big light bulb.

"Because it is dark everywhere here, without even a little bit of light. Is this how you receive your noble guests? Or are you reluctant to pay for a little bit of electricity?"

Bases are generally always lit because they are located underground. Although this base does not know what means it took to allow the outside sunlight to penetrate hundreds of meters underground, it still needs light. And Lex, however, was reluctant to turn on the lights.

"As I am now, I am just a fugitive. Not only those superheroes, but many criminals are also looking for me. They wish I would die immediately, so I cannot make too much noise." Lex said calmly.

For the base to operate fully, it needs to consume a lot of electricity, and this electricity is something this base cannot afford. He must connect to the outside, but in this way, this base is exposed to the eyes of others.

When this base was half-built, Lex was thrown into prison, and his consortium was also disintegrated under the attack of other business competitors. This base was then abandoned.

After he escaped from prison, he hid in this base. It was just because there was no generator set, he had to connect to the outside power, and it was the kind of stealing electricity.

"This doesn't look like your style from before." Ye Nan smiled peacefully, not caring about Lex's self-deprecation, nor did he deny or underestimate him because of Lex's current misery.

As the leader of a consortium, Lex, like Stark, belongs to the kind of high-IQ invention experts. Whether they are weapons, power systems, or other aspects, they are all at the top level. It can even be said that Lex is more genius than Stark, because Lex has made outstanding achievements in the biological field.

"As I am now, I have fallen, so naturally I am not as overbearing as before. So, will you help me?"

"Benefits, two words: benefits." Ye Nan's fingers tapped on a pipe. "If I help you, what kind of benefits can I get? If the benefits you give me satisfy me, I won't mind helping you."

"I have read your information. You are not a person from this planet." Lex walked in front of Ye Nan, his expression serious. "Not to mention that I can't find your information, just the fact that Superman has tried to kill you several times is enough to know."

"I am an enemy of Superman, so I understand Superman's heart. He is a kind young man. He never hurts Earthlings. Even if they are criminals, he just locks them in prison. But his attitude toward aliens is different, and I suppose you have experienced this different attitude."

"So what?" Ye Nan said with an indifferent attitude. "I am indeed an alien. I don't belong to this planet, but so what?"

He originally did not belong to this Earth, although this Earth was not much different from the Earth he was familiar with in his previous life.

"Superman naturally won't care about friendly aliens, but for those aliens with malicious intent, he will kill them." Lex leaned in and said in a gloomy tone: "I suppose you have experienced it. In front of Superman, your little friend Hancock simply cannot protect you, but I can."

"You can?" Ye Nan was skeptical.

"Yes, I can. I know Superman's weakness, so I need your help." Lex leaned toward Ye Nan, his breath constantly spraying into Ye Nan's nose. "This is a deal, Ye Nan. You have no way to refuse."

"Get lost." Ye Nan shouted angrily. "Don't come near me with your bad breath."

Ye Nan said, took a step back, and fanned his hand in front of his nose, looking disgusted.

"Bad breath?" Lex was stunned. He breathed on his hand, then sniffed with his nose, and then said: "No."

"It's your bad breath." Ye Nan emphasized the words 'bad breath'. "Do you think you are qualified to make a deal with me?"

Lex only then understood what Ye Nan meant by bad breath, and he immediately said angrily: "Are you refusing me?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Ye Nan put on a confused tone. "You are just a mouse hiding underground. Do you think you can really cooperate with me? To tell you the truth, don't even think about it. Say it, tell me the weakness of Superman you have in your mouth, maybe I will spare you."

"What do you mean?" Lex said while retreating backward. "You... ah."

Lex screamed. Before he knew it, Ye Nan was already standing behind him. "Your information is outdated, my Mr. Lex. I am not an ordinary alien who only knows how to rely on Hancock. Like Superman, I possess extraordinary power."

"So that means I thought wrong?" Lex murmured, and then glared at Ye Nan with an angry face. "You deceived everyone."

"So what?" Ye Nan still had an indifferent look. "As smart as you, you still didn't see through my disguise."

Ye Nan said, with a hint of joy in his heart. Lex had always been hiding in the dark, and now he suddenly came out, allowing Ye Nan to catch him directly.

Ye Nan understood that for a conspirator like Lex, all his so-called cooperation was nonsense, especially knowing Lex's attitude toward aliens, Ye Nan would not believe Lex even more. He understood that after Lex killed Superman, he would take action against him. Maybe he wouldn't even have to wait for Superman to be killed, Lex would use other things to take action against him.

Therefore, for such an ambitious person, Ye Nan would eradicate him if he could. Of course, before eradicating him, he still needed to get some things from Lex's hands.

"Alright, Lex, tell me the weakness of Superman you know."

"How do I know that after I tell you, you won't kill me?" Lex put away his shock at this time and returned to confidence. "No matter how well you disguise yourself, no matter how deep your strength is hidden, it cannot change one fact, and that is that you are not Superman's opponent, otherwise Superman would not have lived until now, and you would not have come to ask me for Superman's secret."

"So what? If you don't tell me Superman's weakness, you will die." Ye Nan threatened.

"Rather than killing me after telling you Superman's weakness, it's better not to tell you Superman's weakness. This way, I can still leave a way for humanity to live, you damn alien." Lex was not afraid of Ye Nan's threat at all.

"Fine, you win. Then, let's cooperate." ===== CHAPTER 394 =====
