Chapter 334 Marvel's Evernight Group
Boom... rumble... rumble...
Helicopters roared past. Due to the distance, the huge wind pressure created by the propellers made the corn and rice fields rustle. The farmers in the small town of Smallville who were busy working in the fields looked up in surprise.
"What's going on? Why are there so many helicopters?"
Jonathan Kent gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel on his shoulder, a little surprised.
In another acre of corn field not far away, a man with his upper body naked and a cigarette butt in his mouth put down the hoe in his hand and walked towards the edge of the field.
Looking down from the helicopter, you can see that many farmers in the vast corn and rice fields are beginning to gather in the direction of land reclamation.
"Is this place really the crisis point investigated by the Trial Council? Why do I feel like this is just an ordinary country town?"
Sitting in the helicopter, Cobert looked surprised and there was a hint of confusion in his words.
"This is a place that all the chairmen value, and there must be a reason for it. Cobert, your family's contribution this time has been seen by the Trial Council, and even the First Ancestor has expressed his deep appreciation."
Faso's voice was indifferent, his eyelids drooped slightly. The Cobert family, who were now involved in both the black and white worlds, were no more than this in front of him.
"Thank you for your praise, the ancestors. The Cobblepot family is willing to do its best to help the Eternal Night Group develop."
"Um……"
Faso picked up a glass tube of crimson liquid and placed it in front of the pale and old Cobert.
"This is a reward from the First Ancestor. It can rejuvenate a person's body. The blood race needs friendly human allies..."
The old man's eyes were shining and his expression remained unchanged, but the other members of the Cobert family behind him all had bright eyes and looked at the tube of crimson liquid with anticipation, with greed on their faces not concealed at all.
Taking the test tube, a hint of intoxication flashed in Cobert's eyes. He simply unscrewed the cork and drank the liquid inside.
"Ah--"
"..."
Jonathan Kent looked at the helicopters and the corn fields that were blown up by the wind pressure brought by the helicopters. He couldn't help but yell angrily: "Don't get too close to our fields! You damn bastards!"
"Hey, hey, hey! MAN! Don't get into a fight with these guys, they must be from some big powerful corporation in a big city in Kansas!"
The shirtless farmer nearby hurriedly stopped Jonathan Kent. Although he was dissatisfied with the behavior of these helicopters, he did not dare to say anything. He understood very well that those large foreign companies who wanted to enter the town of Smallville must have cooperated with the officials of their town.
"Is it someone from the Luther family? Their people have been living in the fertilizer factory for a long time. Could it be that there is a new project?"
Someone suddenly had an idea that, apart from the Luther family, they really couldn't think of any other company that would suddenly send so many people into their town.
Looking at the road, I saw a number of black off-road vehicles speeding along the road, following the direction of the helicopter.
Looking at the helicopters hanging high in the sky, Jonathan Kent stopped cursing and looked towards the road. The huge convoy made him look shocked. His eyes stopped on the cars where special patterns were painted.
A black sun shining with golden light.
"This is not a Luthor family business!"
Jonathan Kent said with certainty that all the cars had this special logo, but the vehicles of the Luther family business did not have it. Moreover, these cars not only had a unified style and pattern, but even their routes were unified.
Jonathan Kent even felt that these guys were not ordinary enterprises. Their neat and inconsistent operating routes even gave him a militaristic feeling.
……
A new mining company had arrived in the small town of Smallville, and the news soon spread throughout the streets and alleys, with everyone talking about it.
"Those guys want to mine meteorites? Shit, they can't do that, because of those meteorites, we are now called Meteorite Town. If the meteorites are disturbed, how can our town attract tourists from other places?"
Some people shouted loudly and expressed their dissatisfaction with the company.
Of course, there were also people who agreed that they were more concerned about what benefits this company would bring to their town.
You have to know that the meteorite that year was scattered all over the town of Smallville, and many people's houses were even damaged and broken. Meteorites were distributed everywhere, and if those minerals were mined, it would definitely have an impact on some families.
"Why does it feel like our town is so chaotic lately?"
Pete squeezed out of the crowd and said to his two friends with a helpless look on his face that he had just squeezed in with great difficulty, glanced at the notice board, and read all the information on it.
A company called Yongye has contracted the mineral mining rights in the town of Smallville. Of course, the ore here does not refer to the ore that normal people are familiar with. They are mining the meteorite that landed in the town more than ten years ago.
Pete felt a little puzzled about this, because those ores had been noticed by people a long time ago, but in the past ten years or so, they had not attracted the attention of mining companies.
After all, there are not many meteorites, they are rare and widely distributed, and most people don’t think they have any value.
Instead of going to a remote town to collect meteorites, it would be better to mine gold and silver. There is more money to be made there than here. "Make way!"
A crisp voice rang out in the crowd, and Chloe finally squeezed out of the crowd. With a hint of excitement on her face, she quickly came to Pete and Clark.
"Hey, do you know what I found?"
"?"
Seeing that the two didn't seem to care much, Chloe still told them her discovery.
"That mining company called Evernight comes from the infamous Gotham! My God, this is a company from the metropolis!"
"Gotham? Shit! What's going on? Why did Gotham notice our town? Is it because of Lin? Yes, maybe it's because of him. That guy is so rich. Maybe he has some special hobby and happened to take a fancy to the meteorite in our town!"
Pete seemed to have discovered the answer and said excitedly.
"Forest?"
There was a hint of doubt in Clark's expression. Unlike the excitement of Pete and Chloe, he felt a little uneasy deep in his heart.
Because those strange meteorites seemed to have some special effect on his body. If it was really Lin who had helped him before, perhaps he could rest assured.
It would be a good thing for him to take those terrible stones away.
……
Lin Jue's manor. The moment Faso took his first step into the manor, he felt a suffocating oppression.
"You are here!"
Lin Jue was lying on the sofa with his upper body naked, enjoying the sunbath leisurely. He looked at Faso, Cobert and others who came in from the fence of the manor.
"..."
Faso looked at Lin Jue who was sitting on the recliner, his eyes full of suspicion. He felt a familiar breath from Lin Jue...that breath made him tremble!
"This must be the Lord of the Judgment Council. Thank you for your trust in our Cobert family. It is our honor to work for the Council!"
Cobert quickly bent down and looked admiring to show his respect for Lin Jue.
"Well! The Cobert family business can be integrated into the Evernight Group. Let us work together to create more power for this world!"
Lin Jue chuckled.
On the other side, looking at Lin Jue, Faso was recalling what Harley Quinn had entrusted him with before she left. His heart was shaking wildly, and he seemed to have guessed something.
Without saying a word, he stood stiffly beside Lin Jue's manor, looking like a personal attendant.
On the other side, Cobert and others who were watching Faso's actions were stunned. They didn't understand why this powerful second-generation blood descendant next to them would do such a thing.
No matter what, the vampires are also a force of the Judgment Council, and even when facing people from the Judgment Council, they should be on equal footing.
He looked at Lin Jue with some doubt and surprise. The current situation made Cobert dare not make any rash assumptions about Lin Jue.
Soon, with the help of the Cobert family service staff, a sumptuous and luxurious banquet was served.
The members of the Cobert family and the vampires who were traveling with them were each tasting their own delicacies. Lin Jue sat in the chief seat, watching the scene in front of him with satisfaction.
Ever since he curbed the power of the vampires in Gotham, it was obvious that the human forces' perception of the vampires had improved a lot. They sat together, you drank blood, I ate food, and it looked very harmonious.
"Mr. Lin, we have just learned what happened in Smallwell Town. The parliament came here for a reason!"
Putting down his knife and fork, Cobert couldn't help but speak first. He looked at the members sitting next to him. In order to help the newly developed Eternal Night, their Coptic family had put out most of their strength.
"Well, but you don't need to worry about their affairs. The only thing we have to do now is to quietly collect the meteorites scattered in this town!"
"Does the meteorite have any significance to the Council?"
Cobert raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively.
In fact, he had obtained a small number of samples, but he did not discover anything from them. However, the elements in the meteorite were indeed not found on Earth, and it might take a considerable amount of time to study its value.
"Of course it has value. Everything is done to prevent disasters before they happen. The purpose of the Judgment Council is to protect this endangered planet, and meteorites are one of the keys!"
Lin Jue gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and said indifferently.
He did not lie. Even he could not figure out Superman's future development. After all, that guy might turn evil in the future. Who could know?
