"I've been dismissed?"
Lois Lane looked blankly at Perry White, who had called her into the editor-in-chief's office, and laughed dumbly: "That joke isn't funny at all."
Perry White didn't speak, but his eyes showed sympathy and regret.
Lois Lane's smile gradually froze and disappeared: "You, you're serious? Why? Why dismiss me?"
Perry White said: "I can't help it, this is the intention of the new shareholder who acquired shares from Wayne Group and Kyle International Group."
"Lois, you are very beautiful!"
"After being a reporter for so many years, you should also know that beautiful women often encounter certain unavoidable troubles, especially the kind where you are powerless to resist, and you either compromise or leave."
Lois Lane frowned and said: "Speak clearly, what exactly is going on?"
Perry White sighed: "The new shareholder is interested in you. Dismissing you is just a means to force you to comply. You can choose to leave, or you can go find him. He is in the vacant office upstairs."
"If you choose to leave, I can give you three extra months' salary. This is the only thing I can do."
"Sorry."
Lois Lane was silent for a long time, then turned and left.
Did she feel angry encountering such a thing?
Definitely angry!
But she didn't get angry at Perry White. She knew very well that Perry White was powerless in this matter.
The shareholder was interested in her, what could an editor-in-chief do? If it were because of a news story, he might argue for her, but for this kind of thing?
How could he argue?
Even the best relationship wouldn't risk losing their position, losing their job, losing everything to help themselves, right?
If it were her, she wouldn't do that either!
Lois Lane went upstairs to the vacant office with a grim face. Without knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.
"It's you!"
Looking at the young man sitting at the desk and the roses on the desk, Lois Lane understood a little. He was probably angry and ashamed after being rejected by her, right?
"Why did you dismiss me? Just because I rejected you?" Lois Lane questioned in a deep voice.
Samuel said with a smile: "You're asking something you already know."
"I said, I have no intention of pursuing a relationship. I have the right to refuse!"
"I also have the right to dismiss you!"
"Why do you have the right to dismiss me? I've worked for the newspaper--" Lois Lane's words were cut short when she saw Samuel looking thoughtful, as if listening intently.
Immediately after, he used the remote control to turn on the TV on the wall.
As soon as the TV was turned on, it was accurately tuned to a certain channel. It was a news broadcast, and the content of the news was about an unidentified flying object shaped like a spaceship entering Earth.
This was live news footage!
Lois Lane's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"It came early!"
Samuel looked at the spaceship in the news, slightly surprised.
Lois Lane was startled and suddenly turned to look at Samuel: "You know what this is?"
"Beep beep beep -- beep beep beep --" The void battle bead on his wrist suddenly rang. Samuel gently nodded, and Supergirl Kara Zor-El's holographic image instantly appeared.
"Did you watch TV? That's a Kryptonian spaceship." Kara Zor-El's voice was a little low.
Samuel said: "General Zod, he was originally a General of your Kryptonian, who rebelled with troops because he was dissatisfied with the council's decision. After being suppressed, he was exiled to the Phantom Zone for two hundred years."
"When he came out, Kryptonian had already been destroyed."
Kara Zor-El asked: "What is his purpose?"
"He's here to find your cousin. Your cousin has the codex of life in him, and he wants to transform Earth into an environment suitable for Kryptonian to live in."
"Rebuild Kryptonian!"
Kara Zor-El nodded lightly and asked: "Should we notify him and the others?"
"Gather the Superman Corps and have them prepare."
"Okay."
Kara Zor-El agreed and nodded, then ended the call.
Seeing this, Lois Lane quickly asked a barrage of questions: "What is Kryptonian? Is it an alien Planet? Are the Kryptonian on the spaceship here to govern Earth? Was that woman just now also a Kryptonian? What is your relationship with her? Why do you know these things?"
As expected of a reporter, the questions were fast and numerous!
"Bang!"
The TV suddenly went black, then lit up a few seconds later, a buzzing sound emerged, and the screen was full of static.
"You are not alone!"
A deep male voice suddenly came from the TV.
"You, are not, alone."
The sentence repeated non-stop, and at the same time, the text of the sentence appeared on the TV...
English version, Chinese version, various language versions!
The same voice, the same text, appeared simultaneously on TVs all over the World!
Gotta say, Kryptonian technology is quite something.
The spaceship hadn't even landed, there was no physical contact yet, and the TV network was already hijacked and controlled.
Not just TVs, but mobile phones too.
Lois Lane took out her mobile phone, which displayed the same content and voice.
Immediately after, the screen suddenly changed, and a human face that seemed to be covered in countless pixels appeared.
"I am General Zod, I come from a distant Planet, and I have traveled across the vast sea of stars to find You."
"You have sheltered one of my people, and now I demand that You hand him over!"
"For certain reasons, he chose to conceal his existence from You.
He has done his best to blend in with You, he looks similar to You, but he is not of the same race!"
"If anyone knows his location, then the fate of Your Planet is in Your hands!"
"Kal-El, do You hear this?
Come out and surrender within 24 hours, or let the entire World bear the consequences!"
"Whoosh!"
The sound fell, and the TV returned to normal.
But for everyone, this was just the beginning.
General Zod's declaration broadcast was global, which means that now almost everyone on Earth knows that Aliens are invading Earth, and knows that an Alien has been hiding on Earth.
Uh, Kal-El isn't the only Alien on Earth.
Not counting those related to Samuel, there's also Martian Manhunter and Mongul, who was killed by Samuel in Dream Prison before!
Besides that, who knows how many unknown ones there are!
But for ordinary people, it was indeed the first time they knew that Aliens truly existed and had come to Earth, which made them inevitably panic.
The employees outside the office looked at each other, although they weren't agitated or panicking, everyone was scared.
If someone had a breakdown at this moment, it would immediately cause a chain reaction.
It was the same for Lois Lane in the office, but because of Samuel, she wasn't completely ignorant and was relatively calmer, after all, fear comes from the unknown!
