I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Gray turned his head and said, "Are you afraid of competition?"

“We’re not in competition,” Whitney said. “Grey, you know what will happen if I find out you’re secretly putting butterflies in her room.”

After saying that, Whitney strode away and walked towards Lana Blue.

Gray stood there, muttering to himself, "Just remember, sometimes you're the windshield, and sometimes... you're just an insect!"

Depp watched everything unfold, and he knew that Gray would assassinate Whitney when the fair ended.

But Depp didn't care about any of that; Clark would come to the rescue of the little rascal eventually.

Even if Clark didn't have time to save Whitney due to a plot twist, Depp wouldn't care.

Anyway, I'm not familiar with this kid.

On the other side, Clark watched Whitney and Lana Lan kissing not far away with a complicated expression, looking just like a wronged woman.

A handsome bald man in a suit walked up to Clark; it was Lex Luthor.

He said, "I don't want to comment on your taste in women, but what exactly happened last night?"

“That was just a silly prank,” Clark said.

Lex disagreed, saying, "If you were tied to a stick in the middle of a field, it could very well kill you."

Clark replied with a helpless expression, "Thank you very much for your help, but I just want to forget about it."

Clark has been in a good mood ever since meeting Depp last night and opening up to him.

Now that Lex had brought up something that made him feel embarrassed and angry, Clark couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Jonathan, carrying a box of produce, put it in the car and said, "Clark, why did we stop?"

Lex extended his hand and greeted him, "Mr. Kent, it's a pleasure to meet you."

“Lex,” Jonathan said to Clark after shaking hands with Lex, “we need to hurry up and finish moving so we can go home.”

"Okay, Dad."

“At least this time, we shook hands,” Lex said.

Clark gave an awkward smile, then turned around to help move the fruit.

Depp walked over at that moment and said to Lex, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Luther."

Lex looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Chris Reeves, a new teacher at the town's high school, and a friend of the Kent family."

“Hello, Chris,” Lex said, shaking hands. “I’ve heard Clark and Lana mention you, an overly handsome new teacher. Now it seems they were right.”

"To be spoken to like that by the eldest son of the Luther Group seems rather pleasing."

As Depp spoke, he looked at Lex Luthor through the Mirror of Introduction.

Lex Luthor, heir to the Luthor Corporation

Main ability: Wisdom that surpasses that of ordinary people.

Favorability rating: Strangers.

Lex Luthor was once described by Blacknia as having a level nine intelligence.

The main ability section is indeed wisdom, and it is wisdom that surpasses that of ordinary people.

Lex said, "As the head of the Depp Group, I'm more interested in your purpose in coming to Smallville than your looks."

As the second-in-command of the Luther Corporation and possessing extraordinary intelligence, Lex Luthor immediately used his intelligence network to discover Depp's true identity.

Therefore, he was skeptical of the purpose of this newly rich man who suddenly visited the town and came in anonymity.

Depp knew that his identity, which had not undergone any special disguise, would certainly not escape Lex's eyes.

He said, "Whether you believe it or not, my wife and I came to the town for a vacation and to experience life. The Depp Group has no intention of interfering in the town's affairs and currently has no plans to invest. That's all."

Lex said, "I hope you keep your word, and whatever you do, don't hurt the people here, or I won't let you off the hook."

As someone who comes from a large corporate family, Lex knows all too well the wickedness in the hearts of capitalists.

Just like their own fathers, everything they did was for money and power.

For this reason, they are willing to disregard the safety of the people in a city and the potential devastating impact on them, as long as they can profit from it.

Therefore, Lex still did not believe Depp's words.

Upon hearing this, Depp said, "I see suspicion and hostility in your eyes, but you need to know that I am completely different from the Harry family and that Rickman guy. And instead of looking at me, I think you should think more about how to turn Luther Group into Lexcorp in the future."

"Also, if you really consider Clark your friend, then you'd better not invade or pry into his privacy without any limits. Everyone has secrets, but exposing them is not the behavior of a friend."

Now that he's here, Depp isn't planning on completely relaxing and taking a vacation.

Lex Luthor, Superman's eternal enemy.

Now, however, he is a great person who always thinks of Clark, the company's employees, and the town's residents.

If possible, Depp hopes Lex and Clark can be honest with each other and avoid turning to the dark side.

After all, Lex is a level nine intelligence, a guy who stands at the pinnacle of human intelligence and even the entire universe. If we can bring him to our side, he would definitely be a heavyweight ally!

Upon hearing Depp's words, Lex fell silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps you are right. Thank you for your suggestion."

He felt that Depp seemed to be able to see right through him, but without being rude.

For some reason, he felt that the man in front of him possessed a convincing magic.

Furthermore, this has nothing to do with appearance.

After saying that, Lex handed his business card to Depp and said, "Depp... no, Mr. Levi, I think we can exchange business cards so that we can keep in touch in the future."

Depp took Lex's business card, put it in his breast pocket, and then took out his own business card and handed it to Lex.

Lex took Depp's business card, waved it lightly in front of him, and said, "Well then, see you later."

After saying that, Lex turned and left.

Today, he still has many company matters to handle.

After Lex left, Jonathan carried a box of fruit and put it in the car.

He watched Lex's retreating figure and said, "Brother Levi, I feel I have to remind you that it's best not to deal with the Luther family."

Depp, feigning ignorance, asked, "Oh? Are they in any dangerous places?"

Jonathan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Although the Luther family is one of the world's largest corporations, their background is not clean. Betrayal and deception are traditions of the Luther family."

Faced with Jonathan's biased remarks, Depp decided to mediate.

The moment Depp arrived in town, he looked into everything about Lex.

Based on the information available at present, Lex is currently very kind.

Jonathan's unfounded hostility towards Lex, based solely on the actions of his family and father, is unfair in Depp's view.

So Depp countered, "The betrayal and deception you're talking about, is it the work of the Luther family, or the work of Lex Luthor?"

Jonathan replied, "I think...it's no different."

Depp shook his head and said, "Jonathan, don't let prejudice blind you. Lex is completely different from Reno now. I don't think you should let Clark lose a friend who should have been a close friend because of your prejudice."

“Brother Levi, you have no idea what kind of people the Luther family really are.”

“But you should at least give Lex a chance. He’s not much older than Clark. If you think Clark is a kid, then Lex is too. Maybe he has some less-than-honorable past, but you have to give him a chance to prove that he has changed.”

Jonathan pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll consider your suggestion. But now, I should take Martha and Clark home. By the way, our goods sold very well today, and we're preparing a big stew for dinner tonight. You and your wife can come over and enjoy it with us."

"Well then...see you tonight, Jonathan."

After seeing the group off, Depp suddenly felt a bit bored. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to him, he quickly returned to his home.

Although Whitney will be saved by Clark, Gray will kill someone else afterward.

His biological mother.

Gray, genetically modified from insects, has acquired some of the habits of a spider.

This spider will eat its mother after it is born, then molt, mate, and lay eggs.

So if Depp doesn't go, then Gray's poor mother will be eaten alive by his son.

Depp glanced at his watch; there was still enough time to cook before rescuing the woman.

Selena walked up behind Depp, who was wearing a light pink silk nightgown today.

The pajamas extended all the way to Selena's side, but although they were long, they were not loose; rather, they were fitted.

Selena's perfect hip curves were outlined by a light pink nightgown, and the creases in the nightgown added to her sexiness.

Because there was no one else in the room, Selena didn't button up her clothes, revealing her alluring semi-circular breasts, which even made Depp somewhat unable to resist.

Selena wrapped her arm around Depp's and squeezed the two halves together, saying, "You seem to be very busy today, darling."

Depp ruffled Selena's hair and said, "Strange things are starting to happen in town, and I think I have to do something about it."

"Just like in Gotham?"

"Just like in Gotham!"

"Okay, as your wife, I will always support you unconditionally, right?"

“You are the best wife in the world!” Depp said. “So, no matter who I’m going to save today, I have to make a big lunch for the best wife and the most beautiful woman in the world first.”

Upon hearing this, Selena covered her mouth and laughed heartily, saying excitedly, "I think I also have the best, most handsome, and strongest man in the world! So... do you need my help with today's operation?"

Depp squeezed the round object in his hand and said, "No, there's a more suitable person for today's operation."

In the afternoon, at Gray's house.

Grey was somewhat angry after his failed assassination attempt on Whitney.

However, for him, these were just minor incidents.

Rather than killing Whitney, the most important thing now is to fill their stomachs, then molt and mate.

After a while, Gray's mother's shouts could be heard from outside.

The woman, who had just returned from grocery shopping, saw the mess in her house and shouted, "Grey! What happened here, Grey?"

She stormed into Gray's bedroom in a fit of rage, only to be stunned by what she saw.
