Beauty Serum

"What do you think this is?"

Lex held up a thirty-centimeter-long dark gray sculpture and showed it to several people. He gently handed the sculpture, which had a classical anthropomorphic shape and was engraved with Kryptonian characters, to Joseph and asked, "Professor, I believe You will definitely be able to answer my questions.”

When he said this, Lex kept watching the expressions of several people.As he expected, the expressions of the three Kachi tribesmen, including Joseph, changed when they saw this sculpture.But compared to Keira and Jermaine, two people whose expression control was immature, Joseph's expression only changed slightly and returned to its original state.Unfortunately, this scene was noticed by Lex, who was extremely observant.

"Unbelievable! This is 'Palac'! I didn't expect it to really exist!"

Among them, Jeremyer was the first to exclaim. After seeing this sculpture, he was as shocked as if he had seen a vault containing billions of gold. He subconsciously uttered a term in excitement.

As soon as these words were said, the three Kachi tribesmen, including Jeromeel, felt miserable.It was useless to take back this sentence, because Lex had clearly memorized the term.

"'Palak'?"

Lex's subconscious question made the two young Kachi tribesmen, Jeromel and Keira, change their expressions. Among them, Jeromel especially, looked at Lex with a look full of wariness and fear.As if to prevent him from spilling the beans again, he quickly lowered his head to avoid Lex's eyes and stopped talking.

Even so, Jeremyer's eyes were still fixed on the sculpture in Joseph's hand.If Delos were here, he would definitely complain that this guy's eyes would pop out.

Seeing this, Keira, who was beside Jeremyer, also subconsciously avoided Lex's eyes and turned her head to the side.It's just that compared to Jeremyer, a fool with terrible acting skills, she is still smart and knows how to pretend to know nothing.

"The Chinese saying 'There is no silver 300 taels here' probably refers to this situation."

After taking in the expressions of the two people, Lex secretly despised him in his heart, then looked at Joseph with a steady expression and pointed at the sculpture in his hand and asked:

"Professor Joseph, do you know what this 'Palac' is?"

"Um……"

Joseph first picked up the sculpture and pondered for a moment, then carefully played with the sculpture and examined all the details of the object.After a while, he looked at Lex and said slowly: "It's an ancient cooking vessel of the Kachi tribe."

"Cooking utensils?"

Lex chewed these words calmly, but in his heart he had already slapped this old bastard with superb acting skills several times.If he hadn't noticed the expressions of these people before, he might have believed Joseph's lies.But now, after this guy was exposed, he actually pretended to be stupid.

"These people are too wary of me. It's impossible to get some secrets out of them like I tried to get information from Keira before."

Lex felt a little helpless in his heart.At the beginning, he pretended to be a lover of ancient literature to get some of the secrets about the Kryptonians from Keira, a girl who was pursuing the ancient Kache tribe's relics.It's just that in order to gain control of the cave as soon as possible, and to prevent others from causing damage here or spreading news to the outside world, he used his own hackers and people from the police station to jointly control some of the information coming out of the town. Sensitive information about the cave, and at the same time obtained ownership of the cave through some means.

It is also because of this that Keira, who was not repelled by Lex, took the initiative to distance herself from him.If Lex hadn't told her that something had been dug out from here, she really wouldn't have hired two experts to analyze the so-called ancient writing for Lex.

But Lex still thought a little too simply. He was very sure that Joseph and Jeromel were both experts among experts.But one of the two people was hostile to him and unwilling to cooperate, and the other treated him like a monkey.This made Lex instantly give up his intention to cooperate with these people in good faith.

"I really mean it, why did I care so much about the rights of these people in the first place? The world is in crisis, and I still care about these Kachi tribesmen who have brain problems? Wouldn't the problem be solved by letting Delos come over in the first place? Yes? With him here, no matter what the news is, we can get it out."

While Lex cursed himself secretly in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said to Joseph: "Professor Joseph, your professional ability has greatly helped me."

It's such a huge help, thank you very much for your generous help. "

With that said, Lex relied on his physical fitness enhanced and modified by the serum to quickly take the sculpture from Joseph's hands before the three Kachi tribesmen could react and handed it to his researchers.After doing all this, not to mention that Keira and Jeremyer had another face-changing drama, even Joseph subconsciously gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Lex chuckled and said to several people: "This handicraft is very collectible, so I took it away first."

As Lex finished speaking, the expressions of the three Kachi tribesmen changed again.Kayla and Joseph wanted to say something, but they could only swallow the words in their mouths.

There is no way, even if the things in this cave are related to the ancient Kachi tribe, legally, this cave and everything in the cave belong to Lex.Coupled with the behavior of several people who shot themselves in the foot before, if they take the initiative to explain now, not only will they not be able to get the sculpture, but they will also completely lose the trust of the other party.

This situation will most likely make Lex prohibit them from approaching or studying the cave. This is definitely a huge loss for people like them who are passionate about the ancient Kachi culture.

If you want to save the sculpture and everything in the cave, there is still a chance to solve it through the law, but once you open the door and let the other party take precautions in advance, it will be difficult to solve the problem even with the law.

It's a pity that Keira and Joseph can keep silent, but that doesn't mean that Jeromeal, a nerd with low emotional intelligence, can keep silent.

"No, you can't take it away! It's the treasure of our Kachi tribe!"

Jermaine yelled and tried to bypass Lex and rush towards the sculpture.But as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by several bodyguards next to Lex.

"The treasure of the Kachi tribe?"

Lex glanced at Joseph and Keira who were trying to act stupid again, snorted coldly and said to his men: "Take that sculpture away, there is no need to waste time!"

To be honest, Lex had no ill feelings towards ethnic minorities such as the Kachi.He personally admires the Kachi people's affection for their history and culture, so it's not a big deal to be hated and hostile because of the cave thing.

But it became unbearable when these idiots kept being hostile to him like immature children, obstructing him, and treating him like a monkey because of the legend of the Kryptonians who were most likely alien invaders.

Thinking like this, Lex took out a specially encrypted mobile phone and dialed Delos's mobile phone number.

It didn't take long for Delos' cell phone to get through.As soon as the call started, Delos on the other side of the phone said: "Lex, what happened?"

"The Kachi experts I called were somewhat dishonest."

Lex glanced at the three Kachi tribesmen and said angrily: "So I need your help."

"I see."

Delos on the other side of the phone heard this and understood what Lex wanted to say, but before that he had a question.

"By the way, you all know how neurotic and stubborn ethnic minorities like the Kachi are. Why didn't you come to me from the beginning? Don't tell me that violating human rights is wrong. I know you too well. Encountered It’s impossible for you to care about such a big thing.”

At the end of the sentence, Delos couldn't help but have a weird look on his face: "Is it possible that you have fallen in love with one of the women in it, so you don't want to do that?"

"Please, do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, even in the situation you mentioned, this kind of thing won't happen. Just find someone who knows and let you ask. It won't be so troublesome at all. ." Lex denied it without thinking, "Unless..."

At this point, Lex suddenly stopped.He suddenly turned his head and looked at the diamond-shaped indentation deep in the cave, and then looked at Keira.Vaguely, he suddenly knew why he was wasting his time doing such a thing.Thinking of this, Lex's face changed greatly, and he quickly said to Delos: "Stop talking nonsense! Come here quickly! I'm being controlled!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lex's voice fell, the sculpture placed in the alloy vessel by his men suddenly burst into dazzling golden light...
