I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

He immediately asked, "Who is Lex Luthor to you?"

Lina Luther was somewhat surprised to hear this. She said, "You actually know my brother? Who are you?!"

“I am Clark Kent, and my resume is in your hands right now,” Clark said. “As for your brother… we met in Smallwell and are best friends.”

"You two are best friends?" Lina Luther said angrily, "How annoying! My brother has never introduced me to a handsome guy like you!"

Lina Luther stood up, walked over to Clark, put her hand on his neck, and said, "Since you know my brother, that makes things easier..."

Before Lina could finish speaking, Clark grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground with a back throw.

Then, to Lena Luther's horrified expression, Clark pinned her to the ground and pressed his knee against Lena's slender waist.

“You’ve been arrested, ma’am. I’ll call the police right away. I think the four detectives who took you away that day will definitely remember your face.”

At this moment, Clark was like a heartless thief-catching machine.

Lena Luther looked horrified. She knew Clark was right; the four detectives she had stripped naked and left on the street definitely recognized her face!

"Let me go, you muscle-headed bastard!" Lina Luther's cheek flushed slightly from Clark's knee. "My brother is Lex Luther. Since you're his friend, how could you send his own sister to prison?"

Clark replied, "That's precisely why I have to send you to prison! I can't just stand by and watch my friend's sister go astray and do nothing about it."

"Are you crazy?!" Lina Luther yelled, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from Clark's hold.

Clark picked up his phone and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Hello, officer, I have a thief here and I need you to arrest him."

"That's the female thief from the slums last time!"

"What? She actually left four detectives on the street and even stole a police car?"

"That's right, the address is 361 Champs-Élysées Avenue, L Company's 18th floor general manager's office."

Five minutes later, police sirens blared outside the L Company building, and four detectives strode into the building, heading straight for the eighteenth floor.

Bang! The door to the general manager's office was kicked open, and four detectives immediately rushed forward to check on Lina Luther, who was pinned down by Clark.

Upon seeing Lina Luther's face, they immediately recognized her as the female thief who had stripped them down to their shorts and left them on the street!

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you're under arrest!" the detective said. "I never imagined that someone as high-society as you would be a thief who steals police cars."

"Pooh!"

Upon hearing this, Lina Luther spat in the other person's face and said, "You forgot to mention one thing: I also stripped the four of you down to your underwear and left them on the highway!"

After arresting Lena Luther, the lead detective said to Clark, "Young man, thank you for your numerous tips. The people of Metropolis will thank you."

Clark walked out of L Corporation after watching the detectives see Lina Luther off.

Although he lost a job that was within his grasp, he not only helped the police catch the female thief, but also helped his friend's younger sister turn over a new leaf.

Clark himself was quite happy.

As for work....

To paraphrase Johnny Depp, what was he saying again?

There's always a way out, so there's no need to worry too much right now!

Inside the police car, Lina Luther looked back at Clark standing at the entrance of L Company, her face full of resentment.

Chapter 345 The Battle of Metropolis (Part 1)

In the Metropolitan Police Department, Lena Luther sat in the interrogation room, facing the officer opposite her, her face full of impatience.

After the initial panic, she calmed down.

After all, the Luther Group's position in Metropolis is as detached as the Wayne Group's in Gotham.

Therefore, she is no longer worried about being sentenced to prison.

As long as Alexander Luther, her father, finds out about her imprisonment, Lina is certain that her father will dig her out!

The officer in charge of interrogating Lina said, "We urge you to turn yourself in and confess as soon as possible, otherwise you will be imprisoned for many years!"

"I've said it a hundred times, I'm not some kind of female thief. You don't think someone of my status would steal things that are worthless, do you?"

Lena Luther crossed her legs, her high heels swaying back and forth, her face full of arrogance.

Meanwhile, after watching Lena being arrested, Clark immediately dialed Lex's number.

"Hey Lex, is it a good time to talk now?"

Clark asked.

Lex replied with delight, "Of course, Clark, I'm always available to talk to you."

“That’s great,” Clark said. “I have something to tell you, but please don’t be angry.”

"What's wrong?" Lex asked curiously, picking up his water glass.

Clark let out a sigh of relief and said, "I just...sent your sister to prison."

"My sister? Cough cough cough!" Lex choked on his water, coughing as he said, "You mean, you sent Lina to prison?"

“Yes, she told me her name is Lina Luther, and she’s your sister,” Clark said somewhat nervously.

He wasn't sure if Lex would be angry with him after finding out, but Clark still felt it was necessary to report the matter to Lex.

Lex let out a sigh of relief, then calmly asked, "So, can you tell me what crime she committed?"

Hearing Lex's calm question, Clark calmed down a bit and said, "Behind the identity of a big company boss, she's also a skilled thief. I suspect that Lina has unknowingly developed a kleptomania addiction, so after much consideration, I've decided that I must call the police and help her correct this habit."

Upon hearing this, Lex remained silent for a few seconds, then clapped his hands and said, "Clark, you did absolutely the right thing."

"You're not angry with me?" Clark asked in surprise.

Lex said, "I know this is your principle, and it really does benefit Lena's development, so why should I be angry? At worst, I'll pull some strings to make Lena's time in prison more comfortable."

"You are such a righteous person!" Clark said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Lex smiled and asked, "By the way, how have you been in Metropolis lately? Have you found a job?"

“Actually, I haven’t found a job yet, although I almost did today,” Clark said somewhat dejectedly. “Really, just a little bit.”

On the other end of the phone, the quick-witted Lex immediately understood Clark's ordeal and joked, "Goodness, Clark, you didn't call the police on your way to my sister's job interview and have her arrested, did you?"

“How did you know?” Clark asked. “Well, Lex, you’re very smart. I knew you would guess.”

Upon hearing this, Lex burst into laughter: "You got the boss thrown in jail during the interview, Clark, you're something else!"

“Okay, I have some things to take care of,” Lex said. “If you need any help, feel free to contact me.”

Clark replied, "Lex, I will definitely find a job on my own!"

"I completely trust you, so... goodbye."

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Lex leaned against the corner of the table and immediately called his most trusted subordinate.

"Lina was arrested and imprisoned today. Keep this news under wraps; absolutely no one can let Dad know about it." Lex said with a wicked grin, "Otherwise, Dad will definitely get that girl out ahead of time!"

"Understood, boss."

Poor Lena Luther had no idea that her brother had deceived their father, Alexander Luther, in order to help her reform herself in prison.

Her crime warrants at least a five-year sentence!

Of course, Lex wouldn't let Lina stay in prison for a full five years.

But Lex is confident that within six months, Lina will not be rescued by anyone.

The poor little canary is about to be put into a cage, where she will undergo her most important transformation.

The following night, Clark learned the world's top stealth techniques from Depp and Selena.

With his stealth ability combined with Clark's extraordinary speed, he can fool almost everyone!

The next morning, Clark miraculously received a phone call from Ms. Misia.

During the phone call, Ms. Misia invited Clark to an interview again, but the interview location was no longer the L Company building, but a construction site.

This time, Clark officially joined the company as an intern construction worker.

Clark started working on his first day, and his strength shocked all his coworkers!

Coupled with Clark's quick learning ability, within just one day, no one on the construction site regarded him as a newbie.

Because Clark's skills are almost comparable to the best master craftsmen on the construction site, and he is much stronger than those master craftsmen in their fifties!

That evening, Clark returned to the Bat Cave.

This time, his teachers are the Joker and Harley Quinn.

Depp didn't actually have high hopes for this lesson.

Because the Joker's madness is so unpredictable, even Clark Kent might not be able to guarantee defeating him.

Of course, the so-called victory does not mean killing the Joker.

Often, death is even part of the Joker's plan.

For example, if one loses their heartbeat, a super bomb buried somewhere in the city will detonate instantly.

Furthermore, the Joker's blood may contain an infectious virus called the Joker virus.

Once the clown dies, the virus spreads rapidly, causing infected individuals to become insane, cruel, paranoid, or even directly integrated into the clown's personality.

This is also why, in the comics, the superheroes never kill the Joker.

A villain named The Laughing Man was born because of the Joker's death.

So, at the very beginning of this lesson, Depp told Clark, "In this lesson, if you start sparring, you can use your full strength, but you absolutely cannot kill Joseph or the Joker."

In fact, even if Depp hadn't said that, Clark wouldn't have killed the Joker.

After all, he is Superman, DC's only Chosen One, and there is absolutely no way he would kill the Joker, who is his teacher.

However, Depp was not worried about Clark himself, but rather about the Joker's influence on Clark.

Even if Clark kills the Joker, he might not necessarily win.

For the Joker, turning those originally upright and kind heroes into being as insane as himself would be a complete victory.
