Chapter 434

After a "bang," Benjamin fell to the ground. Shiler watched Benjamin's slowly falling figure, raised his eyes, and looked at Lex in surprise.

Shiler was really a bit surprised; Lex's behavioral logic exceeded his expectations.

Although he had long known that Lex was not being controlled, he had absolutely no idea why Lex wanted to attack Benjamin. Benjamin pointed out that he was the killer, but didn't point out that Lex was the killer. Why did Lex want to hit him?

Shiler recalled the whole thing in his mind.

Lionel invited him to the reception room, wanting to threaten him with some handle, then he gave Lionel a hit with his umbrella handle, and after knocking Lionel to the ground, he left.

Afterwards, Selina wanted to come to the reception room to install surveillance, just bumping into Lionel who had just climbed up from the ground. The two had some conflict, Selina swung a vase and gave Lionel a hit, and after knocking him to the ground again, she left.

Benjamin might have wanted to discuss some things with Lionel, so he came to the reception room, but Lionel, who had already broken down, cursed at Benjamin, and at the same time revealed to Benjamin the fact that Shiler had killed people in the incident two years ago. Benjamin had a conflict with him, and then knocked him unconscious.

Benjamin was an agent, his control over force should be reliable. As a person in charge representing some official force, he couldn't possibly deal a fatal blow to Luthor. That is to say, until this moment, Lionel was not dead, just fainted.

But now, Lionel lying on the ground was definitely dead. That is to say, the first, second, and third people who met with Lionel did not kill him. The one who truly killed him was the fourth killer.

Shiler looked at Lex and asked, "Did you kill Lionel?"

"No." Lex shook his head and said, "He committed suicide, or rather, it was an accident that led to his death."

Accompanying his description, time returned to when Benjamin left the room.

Although Benjamin did not kill Luthor, knocking him unconscious here was also a violation of the agent code, so he hurriedly left the room, not noticing the slight movement in the washroom that came with the reception room.

Dozens of seconds after he left, the washroom door opened, and Lex walked out from inside.

He walked over, looked at Lionel lying on the ground, took out a small transparent bag from his own bosom, inside which was a small pill.

Lex stuffed that pill into Lionel's mouth, who was in a coma, then took a cup, went to the washroom to catch a cup of water, and splashed it on Lionel's face.

After a while, Lionel finally woke up. Seeing Lex's face, he was first choked for a moment, coughed violently a few times, and climbed up from the ground with his whole body trembling.

"You... you..."

"Are you trying to ask how I am here, and why I didn't stay properly in the room?" Lex said.

Lionel was somewhat physically exhausted. He was no longer a young man and couldn't remain completely conscious after being repeatedly hit on the head. He had just climbed up for a while when he slumped to the ground again. He widened his eyes, looked at Lex who was revealing a smile, and said, "How could you... didn't you take the medicine???"

Hearing his words, Lex revealed a bored expression. He stroked his own hair and said, "I haven't taken medicine since two years ago, and you actually didn't notice at all."

"How should I put it? Father... you are simply stupid to the point of making me afraid."

Lex lowered his head, looked at Lionel who had fallen to the ground, and said, "You abused my mother to death in front of me, and then, just when I had just revealed genius traits, you forcibly used sedative drugs to make me unable to think or speak."

"When you needed my wisdom, you would reduce my dosage, and then get the answer from my mouth. Precisely because of this, the Luthor Group's business flourished, because every important decision was made by me."

Lex took a deep breath and said, "When you needed me to make decisions, you weakened the dosage, letting me have a little bit of normal human emotion. At that time, I even felt very happy..."

"Because you were my father, you needed me very much. At least at that moment, you loved me."

"I thought normal people were like this. I gave you the correct advice, and you would smile at me, say I did a good job, and say I was your dear son."

Lex's eyes emitted a faint light. He lowered his head, looked at Lionel's bloodshot eyes, and then said:

"Until two years ago, someone liberated me from this state..."

"He saved me, but more importantly, his behavior told me a common sense, that is, you are abnormal."

A "cough-cough" gasping sound came from Lionel's throat. His complexion was abnormally flushed, feeling that his blood flow speed was very fast, and his heartbeat was also accelerating.

"What I mean by abnormal is not just your various abuses of me, but... you are really an idiot, stupid to the point of giving everyone a headache."

Endless anger was revealed in Lionel's eyes, but at this time, he was already a bit unable to speak. Lex walked over, squatted beside his head, and looked at him, saying:

"The most ironic thing is that, in order to cooperate with your stupidity, a group of people who were smart to the point of being unable to be smarter had to use this most straightforward method to kill you."

"Do you feel your heart beating all the time? Do you feel it beating a bit fast? That's right, that's the proof that you are alive, although you are about to die soon."

156n.

Lex stood up. His shadow was projected onto Lionel's face, making his whole face sink into the shadow. All the expressions made at this time were somewhat blurry.

Lex turned around to leave. Before leaving, he looked back and said:

"Oh, right, I forgot, the person who saved me is the Professor Rodriguez you hate the most."

"And now, I am going to ask him if he is willing to become my godfather, and you..."

"You are not only not a genius, you are not even worthy of being a genius's father. Goodbye, Luthor."

Following Lex's departing back, Lionel clutched his heart, opened his mouth wide, and let out a dying dry cough, then fiercely straightened his back. After a momentary painful expression appeared on his face, his eyes gradually scattered, and his breathing gradually stopped.

"His cause of death was cardiac arrest. I did give him some medicine, but it was just the most ordinary kind. I saw my father faint on the ground, using some first-aid medicine is also a matter of course, right?" Lex said.

Shiler lowered his head again to look at Benjamin, who was also lying there. After walking over, he turned his head to look at Lex and said, "Although I don't know why you were in such a hurry to attack him, I must tell you that your method of attacking him makes it hard for him to faint for too long."

"Now, he should be waking up soon... oh, it seems he really woke up."

Accompanying Shiler's words landing, Benjamin moved a bit. He twisted his neck, reached out to cover the back of his neck, and then struggled to climb up from the ground.

Shiler unhurriedly turned his umbrella upside down, handle facing down, umbrella tip facing up. He held the middle part of the umbrella with both hands and fiercely poked downward.

With a "bang," Benjamin slumped to the ground again.

Bruce beside him swallowed a mouthful of saliva. There were no outsiders here, so he didn't pretend anymore. He stood straight, tidied up his clothes, then walked to Benjamin's side and very skillfully began to search his body.

After feeling Benjamin's body and the pockets on his clothes, Bruce gained nothing. After standing up, he looked at Shiler and said, "What exactly is going on? What did you do here two years ago?"

"I said I lost my memory, do you believe it?" Shiler answered very righteously.

Bruce recalled his own encounters in Shiler's mind palace, then slowly shook his head.

"I can very seriously tell you that I did indeed lose my memory. I have an impression of things I did before, but I have no memory of this matter alone."

Shiler stroked the handle of his umbrella, looked at Bruce, and asked, "Do you want to judge me?"

Bruce took two steps forward, arriving opposite Shiler. He looked into Shiler's eyes and said, "I want to investigate the truth of this matter. This concerns the future situation of the East Coast, and also concerns Cat Getan."

Saying this, he looked at Benjamin lying on the ground and said, "He told me that he once dispatched agents to enter Cat Getan, in order to investigate that Philby list and Soviet agents."

"Do you want to find that Soviet agent?" Shiler narrowed his eyes and looked at Bruce. He asked very straightforwardly, "After finding him, what do you plan to do? Hand him over to the CIA?"

"I don't care whether the federal government allows espionage work or not. I only know that Cat Getan does not allow it. I will not let such a dangerous person with uncertainty move around in this city without restriction." Bruce's answer had a very Batman style.

"Bruce, you should know that whether I really lost my memory or not, you won't get the answer you want from me." Shiler's attitude was very cold. He said, "My past only concerns me, and has nothing to do with you."

Bruce obviously didn't intend to give up. The two of them stood in the room, and the atmosphere became heavy again. Compared to the confrontation between Shiler and Benjamin, this storm was even bigger and even more dangerous.

Just at this time, the "click" sound of a firearm being loaded sounded, and Bruce rolled on the spot.

With a "bang," a bullet hit the position where Bruce had originally stood.

The pitch-black muzzle fell, and behind it was Lex Luthor's face.
