Beauty Serum
Chapter 27 Dust Settled (Part 4!)
"The noise you made this time is really big."
In Lex's castle, Delos held the large frozen orange juice in his arms while drinking, and replied: "I can't help it, who told that bastard to do it so hard?"
While feeling the excitement of the frozen orange juice, Delos rolled his eyes at Lex and said:
"Besides, shouldn't you be the one who gets the benefits this time? Not only the collection of meteorites has increased, but also the Fountain of Youth and the 70-year-old man who confirmed the existence of the Fountain of Youth."
Delos crossed his legs, looked at Lex with a stern look on his face and said, "I think you should thank me. See how valuable the treasure I brought you is."
Hearing this, Lex's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Delos and said with gritted teeth: "The fountain of youth you mentioned is useless at all. It is only useful for that old man."
"No way?" Delos said in disbelief: "Is there anything special about that old man?"
"He's a mutant."
One sentence explains everything.The genes of mutants are really special.While possessing great power, it also rejects other mutant abilities.There are so many mysteries that they cannot be solved until now.
Although mutant genes are being studied in various countries, only General William Stryker, who is affiliated with the U.S. government, knows about mutant genes.
"Not only that." Lex sighed and said: "Not long after the old man was imprisoned in the laboratory, he returned from a youthful state to an old state. His body organs rapidly failed in a short period of time, and the cause could not be identified. It only took a few minutes. Within a short time, the old man died, and nothing useful was obtained from the blood extracted from him, and the blood lost its activity."
"That's it." Delos touched his chin. He finally understood why Lex looked so troubled.It is obvious that the treasure that humans want most is right in front of them, but they have missed it due to unknown reasons.
"Okay, okay." Delos walked over and patted Lex on the shoulder to comfort him: "These are actually small things. If you miss it, you will miss it. The key is that you are still alive now. Besides, you are still so young. , the problem of aging is still too far away from you."
Lex couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "You are really Kuoda. In this matter, you obviously contributed the most, don't you have any feelings?"
"After this kind of thing has passed, it's better not to think too much about it." Delos shrugged and said: "It's lucky to get such a good thing, and it doesn't matter if you don't get it. Besides, it's useless to get too entangled, no. ? Instead of doing this, why not reward yourself with a hearty meal like I did."
As Delos spoke, he drank orange juice. The expression of enjoyment on his face made one wonder if he had eaten some kind of rare treasure.
"Okay, you win." Lex looked at Delos with amusement, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Right." Lex suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "There is something you need to know. Guess what it is?"
Delos looked back at him and asked, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Lex didn't answer when he heard this. Instead, he picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of the red wine and said, "Why don't you guess it yourself?"
"Someone is asking me to authorize the rights to the Harry Potter movie."
"?!" Lex suddenly looked at Delos with a look of disbelief on his face.
"How did you know?" Lex looked at Delos' extremely calm face in shock and said, "They came to you directly?"
Delos shook his head, and this gesture made Lex even more confused.The latter then said with some uncertainty: "You can't possibly be able to read minds."
Delos shook his head helplessly and explained in a speechless tone: "Lex, I am very confident in the work "Harry Potter". Besides, those people saw that the Harry Potter novels were selling It’s so good, why don’t you think about using it to make money?”
"This is obviously an inevitable event. Is there any need to guess?" The stern look on Delos's face made Lex want to step on him hard.But he was well rested and endured it.
But Lex never thought of such a thing.Even if he doesn't recuperate well, can he compare with Delos in terms of force value?
................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………
After talking with Lex, Delos returned home.
It's just... Delos didn't say anything more to Chloe about teaching him a lesson.Based on his understanding of Chloe, as long as it involves family and things related to Clark, Chloe will rush forward regardless of her own safety.
The next day, Delos didn't say goodbye to Chloe, so he got on the plane with his luggage and left the town of Smallville abruptly.Chloe only got a box locked by a combination lock from Gable, and a CD that Delos dragged Gable to her.
&
nbsp;Chloe, who was confused about this, had to open the CD on her laptop in her house.Before opening the CD, she followed the instructions on the note left by Delos, closed the curtains, and connected the laptop with headphones.Then the video from the disc was played.
The next second, Chloe's pupils shrank suddenly.Because after opening the disc, a video appeared.The protagonist in the video is the Clark she has longed for.
If that's all, it's nothing.But when Clark in the picture lifted a tractor next to him like a backpack.Chloe was no longer calm.
Then, she saw Clark working in the farm warehouse ten times as fast as a normal person.
It's not a good feeling to have years of common sense shattered. It wasn't until some time passed that Chloe slowly realized what was going on.
"Chloe."
A familiar voice came from behind her ears, and Chloe raised her head suddenly.It was discovered that at some point, the picture and video belonging to Clark had been replaced by Delos' selfie.
"When you see this video, I have already gone to New York. And I believe you should also know the reason why I am so repulsive about you and Clark being together. These videos were all secretly taken by me when Clark was not paying attention. "
"Many times Clark has too many things to do, and he does things without thinking, which can easily cause harm to the people around him. You are not as invulnerable as him. If you are not careful, you are very likely to be killed by his reckless behavior."
Hearing this, Chloe felt some mixed feelings in her heart.She was touched by her cousin's concern for her, but also distressed by the differences between herself and Clark.
In the picture, Delos said with a gentle look on his face: "But, Chloe, if you still plan to pursue Clark, I will fully support you. So, have you made up your mind?"
As if she didn't expect Delos to say that, Chloe opened her mouth and wanted to speak several times, but she didn't know how to say it.Finally, she looked at the figure on the screen, her struggling eyes turned into determination, and she nodded slowly.
"Okay, I knew you would think so. I was very attached to me when I was a child, but now that I have grown up, I have started thinking about other men." It should be said that Delos knew Chloe too well. As soon as Roy nodded, Delos' distressed voice came from the screen.
Chloe couldn't help but laugh or cry about this.Then Delos in the picture curled his lips and said with a reluctant expression: "In this case, as your brother, I can only help you with all my strength. Did you see the box locked by the combination lock? The password It's your birthday, open it and take a look. Inside is the help I gave you."
Only then did Chloe look at the box next to her. The box was about the size of a palm and looked nothing special.But when she opened the combination lock, what was inside made her twitch.
"Clark Kent's Strategy Guide"
The small red notebook with this title written on it just stayed in the box, and there was a note next to it.
Produced by Delos, it must be a high-quality product. If you get this unique secret book and you haven't chased Clark within two months, you deserve to be single for the rest of your life!Don't say you are my sister when you go out, that is an insult to my character!
"Holy shit!" Chloe said with a rare curse word: "How can you curse your sister to stay single for the rest of her life?!"
Chloe's face was full of disbelief, and she shook her fist fiercely at Delos in the picture.
"By the way, you don't know, Chloe." At this time, Delos suddenly showed a bad smile: "In addition to igniting fire, Clark's eyes can also see through~"
"What?!" Chloe screamed, tightening her clothes at the same time. Delos, who seemed to be expecting Chloe's reaction, laughed crazily in the video.
"Hahahahaha, you look so funny. It's not like you don't know that Clark, the good old guy and idiot, didn't even spy on Lanna, how could he spy on you? You are too self-righteous, right?"
"Dillos!!"
Hearing Chloe's roar from upstairs, Gabe, who was cooking, couldn't help but sigh in frustration and amusement.
New York………………
"Sneeze!" Delos, who had already gotten off the plane, looked at the sky with some confusion.
"It's really strange. It's such a good weather, how can I sneeze with my strong body?" Delos, thinking like this, suddenly showed a bad smile: "Judging from this time, the cute little Croy discovered It’s something I left for her. It’s a pity that I’m not there now, otherwise I would have taken a photo of her as a souvenir.”
Next volume preview:
"Hello, Mr. Sullivan. It's an honor to meet you. My name is Peter, Peter Parker."
"It's an honor to meet you, Spider-Man."
"Excuse me, what did you just say?"
"Nothing, just a slip of the tongue." Delos smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Peter Parker."
In Lex's castle, Delos held the large frozen orange juice in his arms while drinking, and replied: "I can't help it, who told that bastard to do it so hard?"
While feeling the excitement of the frozen orange juice, Delos rolled his eyes at Lex and said:
