Chapter 4342

~11 min read 2,074 words

Amanda felt a sudden wave of dizziness. She could no longer steady her steps but stumbled to the phone. Just after picking up the phone, Superman's panicked voice came from the other side: "Amanda Waller! That guy named Lex Luthor kidnapped my mother!! I can't find her!!! I've looked everywhere, she's simply not there!!!"

Amanda took a deep breath and said to the other end of the phone: "Calm down. We'll help you find her right now..."

"He told me to kill you!" Superman's voice came again, "He said he wanted to exchange hostages; as long as I bring you over, he will release my mother. You..."

With a "pop," the phone was hung up. Clark smiled like a golden retriever that had just finished tearing up the house, patting the ship's control panel with a "bang-bang" sound. The more he thought about it, the more proud he felt of this move.

Yes, his last solution was to fight poison with poison. Anyway, Luthor was now barefoot. The group was gone, his reputation was gone, and the worst result was just going to jail. Then it was better to imitate the predecessors in Gotham. As long as the commotion was big enough, everyone would have a headache for you.

Clark couldn't directly go to jailbreak, because that was not only illegal but would also make them fugitives. However, if he was forced, if he was threatened by someone, then there was no way.

Luthor indeed didn't leave any backup plans, but it didn't prevent him from manufacturing one on the spot. Anyway, he had already manipulated that kidnapping gang to go to the Kent farm to kidnap his mother. This proved that he could do this kind of thing, and he was also a person who would do this kind of thing.

So, he simply came up with a grafting move, treating this as Lex Luthor's backup plan. Pretending he had long since made arrangements, organizing a group of people to kidnap Superman's family, forcing Superman to fish him out of prison.

That's right, this morning, Superman swaggered into the police station, and then was "held hostage" by Luthor, and the two left the police station all the way. Moreover, to make this matter spread more widely, Clark also notified his superior, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet, to squat at the police station entrance early. Now, the news of Superman being held hostage by Luthor should have already appeared on the front page headlines of major newspapers.

Holding Superman hostage, of course, he could successfully leave the police station; after all, the police weren't that suicidal. With only Luthor alone, of course, they would stop him, but he had Superman in his hand. Even if he used Superman as a shield, the police wouldn't dare to shoot casually. If that bullet hit him, it would bounce back and hit themselves. So they just followed along with guns to provide escort and didn't dare to get close at all.

The two swaggered out of the police station. Then, Superman was "forced" to take off, taking Luthor away from the surveillance of the military and police. Finally, he sent him to the laboratory where that expert was.

Of course, the expert was also forced. Luthor threatened Superman, Superman threatened the expert, and he could only let Luthor stay there to do experiments. However, the military and police didn't know about this matter; they were currently conducting a dragnet search in Metropolis.

Everyone thought Luthor would stay to protect the Luthor Group; after all, it was such a large set of industries, how could he just say he didn't want it? But unexpectedly, Luthor really didn't want it.

Although Lex Luthor was somewhat stupid in some aspects, he was arrogant as always. His idea was that the reason the Luthor Group could stand at the pinnacle of the world was because of his existence. If he left, it would be a pile of scrap metal. And as long as he wanted, he could make a comeback at any time relying on the technology in his hands. So he wouldn't stay for the Luthor Group.

After Lex got away, this matter wasn't over. Because he couldn't be a fugitive for a lifetime. He had to do something to reverse the current situation.

Clark was willing to give him this chance, because he counted on his fingers. Currently, the people harmed by Lex's stupid actions were only two: one was him, one was Zod. Actually, to say truly harmed, there was only Zod. Zod wasn't human, so Lex couldn't be considered guilty. It was better to give him a chance to counterattack, and he could also give that Amanda some color to see.

And the reason he made such a kidnapping case was also to beat Amanda up in a justified way. After all, he was threatened by Luthor, and his mother was in the other party's hands. The other party demanded he go deal with whom, he could only go deal with whom. Although he was very painful, there was no way.

Clark himself felt he was a bit despicable. But it had to be admitted that the taste of paying someone back in their own coin was really cool.

The A. R. G. U. S. base wasn't located in the suburbs of Metropolis like a military base, but in the west, not far from the city center. It was a building with 12 floors above ground and four floors underground. The 12 floors above ground were mainly office areas for ordinary employees, while the four floors underground were confidential buildings.

Thanks to Amanda having brought him here before, Clark accurately found this building. Then, in full view of everyone, he lifted the building directly.

At this time, Amanda had just run to the first floor. After a strong wind, the dazzling sunlight shone straight in. She watched helplessly as the surrounding walls were rising at a constant speed. A tall figure stood with his back to the morning light, his cape fluttering like a flag.

Countless helicopters hovered overhead. Police officers surged over from both sides of the street. However, not a single person dared to get close. They all knew one thing very clearly: Superman was an enemy they absolutely couldn't confront. And his posture and unprecedented violent behavior indicated that this incomparably powerful god was angry.

The building slowly rose into the air, and the ordinary people inside didn't even feel the vibration. They ran to the windows one after another, only seeing themselves getting further and further away from the ground. Some people let out exclamations, some people took out their phones to take pictures. Until Superman landed in a park, put them down, and flew around the building twice. After leaving behind countless images of his majestic figure, he returned to the location of the base.

He slowly descended from the sky, releasing all the anger he had accumulated in his heart before. He didn't realize at all how terrifying he looked when he was angry.

Not everyone is Batman. For ordinary people, an angry Superman was simply too terrifying. Such a monster that could move mountains and fill seas in an instant descended like God, full of anger, as if the next disaster of world destruction was close at hand. Most people were so scared they couldn't run.

Only after hearing the crying did Clark wake up a bit. But he didn't stop his movements, but slowly landed in front of Amanda. He looked down at Amanda and asked in a deep voice: "Why did Luthor make me come find you?"

The tone of the questioning was already obvious enough, and Amanda was also guilty enough. Of course, she knew clearly why Luthor wanted Superman to come find her. Because she had pushed him too hard. This lunatic didn't even hesitate to threaten Superman just to let her be buried here.

Clearly, she had also sent people to investigate the Kent farm before, but that place had been protected by the locals. The people she sent couldn't get close easily either. But that damn bald guy was actually able to break through the defense line and kidnap Superman's mother directly. This damn bastard!!!

Amanda was furious. She didn't answer but turned to roar at the police beside her: "Why the fuck aren't you firing!! You should drive this monster back!!! Fire!!! Fire!!!"

The old policeman in front hurriedly signaled his companions with his eyes not to shoot. However, there were a few hotheads in every group. They couldn't figure out who was good and who was bad, only knowing that Superman had dismantled the building. The stress response formed over a long period made them raise their guns and shoot.

"Bang! Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!"

Countless bullets attacked Superman. But half a meter away from his body, time and space seemed to have frozen. Everything stepped on the emergency brake here. Bullets were fixed one after another.

Subsequently, all the bullets floated in front of Superman. He stretched out a hand, the warheads were constantly compressed inward, and after being held in his hand, they made a tooth-aching strange sound. Smoke drifted from between his fingers, as if infinite explosions were being staged at his fingertips. And when he opened his hand again, the metal had disappeared. An extremely tiny but also extremely terrifying sphere appeared in his hand.

After extreme compression, the electrons outside the atomic nucleus were pressed into the nucleus, maintaining the edge of neutron collapse. There were no professional terms in the field of metal smelting that could describe this process, and in the field of astronomy, this kind of celestial body is usually called—"neutron star."

Even if the people on the scene couldn't understand this process, the sudden strong wind and the tornado column that was forming were enough for them to understand what kind of incredible thing had happened.

Bruce, who was standing in the Batcave staring at the monitoring screen, saw directly from the perspective of the monitor outside the Earth that a perfect circular vortex cloud had formed on the surface of the Earth at the location of the US East Coast. He tilted his head back and took two steps back, then walked towards the door quickly.

Clark was sure he saw panic in Amanda's eyes. But at this moment, he didn't feel relieved, but just felt pathetic. Could it be that such a person had never thought that forcing a person with powerful strength like this would inevitably lead to today?

Clark didn't feel he was how smart, but sometimes, the stupidity of certain humans still exceeded his expectations. He didn't dare to think, if Bruce hadn't gone to save his mother that day, and Martha had really died in the hands of the kidnappers, what the Earth would have become.

He was afraid to think about this. Precisely because he understood, the result definitely wouldn't be very good. He had felt this before, but only at this moment did he truly understand that he really wasn't that kind of good person who doesn't fight back when hit.

Compared to the approving gazes of people when he did good things, he still preferred to see these fools who did things regardless of the consequences and vicious criminals, when they received the punishment they deserved, that fearful look.

"Superman, stop!" A low voice came from mid-air.

Clark closed his eyes and took a deep breath. With a "pfft" sound, the object in his hand completely turned into a wisp of blue smoke. When the strong wind stopped, the accumulated water in the clouds was squeezed out, turning into a torrential rain that poured down.

The cape and uniform soaked by the rain were darker in color. The tall figure turned around and looked at the dark figure standing on the high building.

"Batman..."

"It's Batman!"

"Batman is here!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Superman leaped up, and then slowly stopped opposite Batman, looking through the heavy rain lines and the dark mask at those strange yet familiar eyes.

The unavoidable question echoed silently like rain between the two—if Martha had really died, and Superman chose not to forgive, facing the God of Mankind unleashing wind and rain on Earth, what would Batman do?

?? From the plot of BvS Luthor, it can be seen that Zack Snyder shouldn't believe in religion; believers generally wouldn't have this kind of question.
