Beauty Serum

In Lex's castle.

"Honestly, Delos, I didn't expect you to plead for this woman." Lex, sitting on a throne, raised the glass of red wine in his hand on the gorgeous office chair with an expressionless expression. He looked at Delos in the center of the hall.At the same time, drink red wine elegantly.This posture not only appears calm, but also appears to have the majestic temperament of a superior person.

But in Delos' opinion, this guy is just showing off.

Delos rolled his eyes and explained: "Keeping her has greater value."

Lex: "Are you sure you're not attracted to her because she's a beautiful girl?"

Facing Lex's teasing gaze, Delos couldn't help but cover his forehead and said: "I admit that that woman is indeed beautiful, but it is impossible to be tempted by her."

Delos is not a morbidly hungry person who only thinks about women. Not to mention that he doesn't like that type. Just saying that the girl looked like she wanted to kill him after she was caught was enough to keep him at a distance.

"Oh?" Lex looked disbelieving.

Upon seeing this, Delos raised three fingers helplessly: "First of all, I am absolutely certain and certain that this woman is not a mutant. I cannot accept the fact that the blame is given to a mutant just because the other party is a superpower. Unless there is a compelling situation, I generally prefer to seek truth from facts.”

Before Lex could speak, Delos continued: "Second, I am very interested in her abilities. You know, I am the No. 1 student in the biology class at Smallville High School. I have always wanted to study this kind of superpowers. of blood.”

Hearing this, Lex looked like he understood, and then asked curiously: "What about the third one?"

"Third?" Delos said with a helpless smile: "This town is already in chaos. Because of what happened before, the whole town is panicked. And according to my guess, because of these three things, there are already many big shots staring at it. Is it here? The reason is that I suspect there are other people with super powers here."

Having said this, Delos suddenly stared into Lex's eyes and said, "Lex, can I trust you?"

At the same time, Delos also released his ability to sense Lex.Although this behavior is very rude, the current relationship with Lex is not that good to him.

Delos' sudden change made Lex a little stunned. He thought for a while and said: "Okay, you say it. As long as it is not against humanity, I will support it. And no third person will know what you said today."

not lying

Through perception, Delos confirmed Lex's answer.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward and said, "Of course there can't be only these three people with super powers in this town, because I also know a few others."

Lex's eyes were stunned for a moment, but they returned to their original state due to long-term habits, and at the same time, he signaled Delos with his eyes to continue.

The latter took out several newspapers, which reported on three previous superpower crime incidents in the town: "Also, based on the strange events I collected and the recent superpower crime incidents, it is speculated that the superpower in this town is People with abilities basically got their superpowers because of the meteorite 12 years ago, not because they are mutants."

"So according to my guess, the number of superpowers in the town should be more than twenty. If you add those who left the town and arrived in other cities, I think it will be more."

Without waiting for Lex to say anything, Delos continued: "And as far as I know, there are still a considerable number of superpowers who want to live their own lives. Compared to those bastards who use superpowers to hurt people wantonly, these gangs The people are already much better. Otherwise, this town would have been in chaos long ago, wouldn't it?"

After hearing the end, Lex's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to have guessed what Delos wanted to say.

"Yes, Lex, your guess is not wrong." Delos smiled: "I don't want those forces to come to the town to search for superpowers in the name of justice. Many of them are innocent and should not Suffer this kind of crime. If this superpower crime is exposed, those forces will definitely have enough reason to search this town

of superpowers. "

"And they will also use illegal means. Then just say that they are mutants and mutants are dangerous monsters. Those idiots who were deceived by the promotional materials will naturally support the other party to cross the law and do some inhumane things. .This kind of thing is terrible, isn’t it?”

"Yes." After hearing Delos's reasons, Lex agreed with him: "It's very scary, but what do you want?" At the end of the sentence, Lex suddenly asked

"Just to protect innocent people for such a thing, I can indeed be of some help, but is this really your purpose?"

When Lex asked Delos this question, his eyes were sharp, and the pressure of a high-ranking person couldn't help but dissipate towards Delos.

But will Delos shrink back because of this pressure?Obviously not, he grinned and said:

"Of course my purpose is not just this. These things are just one of them. What I want is more than this. I want to get the power that belongs to me, not only money, but also material equipment, connections and power. In the end, from The ant in the eyes of those in power has evolved into a dragon that dares to roar at the world!"

Lex's eyes widened and his breathing stagnated. He wanted to open his mouth to say something a few times, but he inhaled excitedly as if he was lacking oxygen.Finally reduced to a few words

"A very ambitious idea. But why can you do it? And why do you think you can get my support?"

Hearing this, Delos did not answer the question directly. Instead, he sat down and spoke as if he was chatting about family matters.

"I like this town very much, Lex, I really like it. This is my home. I really want to live a stable life, marry a wife and have children, and live a carefree life. So I have always been I was telling myself not to meddle in other people's business and let others do it. But I found that I was wrong. From the moment we lived here, my family and I have been involved in this town. Unless I am willing to completely sever ties with this town and become a coward. But obviously, I can't."

Delos was telling the truth, although he wanted to just sit back and relax and live a good life.But he felt uncomfortable when he saw some tragedies. He asked Clark to solve these things, but in fact he still hoped that he could help others.So sometimes I can't control my hands and just do it.

In addition, during this period of superpower crimes, Chloe almost died because she was involved.Because of this incident, Delos woke up completely.

There is a saying in the past life, it doesn’t mean that if you don’t want to cause trouble, trouble will not come to you.

This world is a very dangerous and dark world. If you avoid it, won’t it find you?Instead of hiding aside and gambling that you will be safe, it is better to take the initiative to face these things and find ways to deal with them.

Delos doesn't think there's anything wrong with helping others appropriately within his ability.But he is no saint.Revenge when there is a grudge, complain when there is a grudge, repay kindness when there is a favor.Kill those who deserve to be killed, save those who deserve to be saved, and beat those who deserve to be beaten.This is how he operates.

But no matter what, there must be enough power.

"Just having thoughts but no power is called YY. Just having power but no thoughts is called violence." Delos looked at the slightly excited paleness on Lex's face and continued:

"Lex, I really love and hate this world. This world allows me to enjoy the beauty of life and the beauty of my family. So I want the people I care about to live a good life in peace, but this dark world They won’t allow me to do that. I want to make this corrupt world less cold-blooded and make the world more warm and less unfair. But the world won’t allow me to do that either.”

"Because I am too small, and my ideas have touched the landmines of the world. So either I will live in obscurity and decay, or I will be obliterated by the world because of my weakness. I don't want either outcome, so, I need help!"

"Lex, please help me!"

Delos stared into Lex's eyes: "Help me, I will prove to you that your decision is correct!"
