From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 457 The Beginning of the Sith Empire
Without a doubt, Luther Corporation is a behemoth in Smallville, but at this point in time, the true power behind Luther Corporation is not Lex Luther, but his father, Lenor Luther, a typical American capitalist.

Reno Luther is the main villain in the early part of the series, and the Luther Corporation is completely under his control. What exactly is the Luther Chemical Plant in Smallwell doing? Probably only he knows.

After saying goodbye to Lex, Whitney drove her beat-up little car home.

At this time, the family's small farm was still the same as before, and the two-story wooden house was still there. However, about 500 meters away from the house, workers had moved in and were building a new villa.

After all, now that they had money, they needed to improve their quality of life. Mrs. Fordman wasn't home; she was at the construction site. Her enthusiasm for the new place far exceeded Whitney's.

Once inside and upstairs, Karakhai was already waiting there.

"You went to see Clark last night?" Whitney asked, smiling at her.

“This isn’t about knowing the future. It’s about making a change at a crucial juncture, and things will be completely different,” Karaka said. “The school is destroyed, the superpowered individuals are exposed, and people’s focus will shift away from you. First, you can increase your influence in this small town through donations. Second, with the exposure of the superpowered individuals, Smallwell will inevitably become the focus of the entire country, making it even harder for Clark to hide.”

“Clark has never been a problem,” Whitney shook her head and said. “Kryptonians are powerful, but their weaknesses are too obvious, especially Clark, who hasn’t grown up yet.”

“What about Joe El? He has a lot of backup plans in this world. Last time I made a move against Clark, I already had a sense of danger. This time, I'm just trying to test just how far Joe El has been monitoring Clark.”

"The results of it?"

"It shouldn't be as serious as I imagined, but the Kryptonian technology in this world is very advanced and also very strange. At least for now, I don't want to confront them. So the best way is to expose Clark and use the government to deal with him."

"But it can't be us who exposes it."

“That’s right, we can’t be the ones to expose it,” Karakay laughed. “So, we need to attract enough attention here.”

"I understand. I will fully cooperate with you in this matter."

"There's one more thing."

"what?"

Earth-38.

Are we going to make our move now?

"No, just some preparatory work. There's a slight difference in the flow of time between the two worlds. The flow of time on Earth 38 is about three times that here, so it won't take up too much of your time."

"As far as I know, Philson has already won over quite a few Highlanders, they..."

“No, the clues are too obvious. We need someone who doesn’t exist to complete the initial setup.” Karaka’s expression turned very serious. “This matter is too serious, so…”

"I understand. When do we leave?"

"No rush. The technology to open the passage is fully mature. This is the door controller. You can move between the two sides at any time. However, you need to pay attention to the flow of time on both sides."

“Okay!” Whitney nodded, taking the black controller, a sharp glint in her eyes. ※※※

Earth-38
Nashville
In the studio of Kateco Global Media, Senator Crane had just finished an interview. Kevin, sitting in the first row of the audience, looked excited and gave the senator a warm round of applause.

"Senator Crane, what you said is absolutely right. I completely agree with your point of view on the Alien Act. Earth belongs to Earthlings, and it is definitely not a paradise for aliens to play games. That's so true!"

"Not at all, Mr. Kevin's company is doing very well lately, surpassing many traditional industries." Crane's dark face was beaming with barely concealed joy.

"It was just luck, just because of my technical advantage, but it's not particularly outstanding," Kevin said modestly with a smile.

"I heard that you've had some unpleasantness with the Morgan Group recently."

“It’s just normal business competition. They want Umbrella’s shares, but that’s not part of my plan.” Kevin’s expression stiffened slightly, then he explained, “As you know, I’m from Chicago, and the Grant family is a Chicago family. We’ve always had disputes with Morgan over shares in the Bank of Illinois, so this is a lesson learned from the past!”

“Oh, I understand.” Crane nodded. Although she was a senator, she wouldn’t really get deeply involved in the affairs between big capitalists. At most, she would just mention it a couple of times and get a general idea. The people who were really involved were not senators, but all sorts of brokers and lobbyists.

After seeing off Councilor Crane with a broad smile, before he could even turn around, Kate was already beside him, a mocking glint in her eyes. "Where did you learn your flattery skills? They're so ugly!"

Kevin laughed, "You're wrong. I'm not flattering you. I genuinely agree with Representative Crane's views. Whether it's the Alien Act or the policies to strengthen public security, they are what the Beacon needs. Don't you think the country has become very abnormal right now?!"

"Something's not right?!"

"Isn't that right? The police can't maintain national security properly, so they need those so-called superheroes who wear their underwear on the outside to act as vigilantes. And many of these superheroes are aliens. During the last Kryptonian crisis, the entire city was controlled by aliens. The White House even directly blocked Nashinno City, cut off Nashinno's signal, and turned the city into an isolated island..."

Speaking of this, Kevin's expression turned grim. "Isn't Nashino a part of the United States? Shouldn't protecting its citizens be the responsibility of the White House and the President? To simply abandon a city like that, is that what the President should be doing? This country needs to change. Clearly, the current President is too weak and selfish."

"Is that what you're thinking?!"

"What do you expect me to think?!" Kevin's voice grew colder and colder. "There's a saying in the East: 'A ruler chooses his ministers, and a minister chooses his ruler.' It was that woman who abandoned us, not us who abandoned her."

Kate immediately fell silent.

Although she was a witness to the Great Purge, she had already been brainwashed and controlled by Kryptonian machines at that time. After regaining her senses, her memories of that period were very vague, so she didn't feel it deeply. However, her lack of deep feeling doesn't mean that those who weren't controlled at the time didn't feel it deeply. The White House's actions that time left the few who remained conscious quite confused. After the incident, upon review, those who had been brainwashed were also deeply disheartened. After all, as citizens of the beacon of the world, when such a disaster occurred, the White House had no other means of rescue besides sealing off the country. In the end, they were only able to escape through internal alien conflict. This was clearly not the government they wanted.

Therefore, after this incident, the dissatisfaction of the Nashino people with the White House was palpable. Not only were the Nashino people dissatisfied, but even those who were not from Nashino had their own grievances. This led to a significant drop in the current government's approval rating, which gave Senator Crane an opportunity.

The instigator of the incident is aliens, and it is aliens who want to control Earthlings. In addition, the number of aliens on Earth is gradually increasing, and the problems they cause are also increasing. People have seen Superman as a superhero, but at the same time, they have also seen the increasing involvement of aliens in crimes. The alien control bill introduced by Representative Crane has also gained more and more support.

"Is the Alien Control Act really that good? Don't you think those harsh clauses are unconstitutional and inhumane?!"

Kevin's lips twitched, looking at her as if she were an idiot. "Constitution, laws, humanitarianism—these are all created for humanity, to protect Earthlings, not for those alien creatures!"
