Lex didn't laugh, but faced her with a serious expression.
"There's nothing crazier than that, especially when Homelander is still ruling America, but—"
She stopped smiling and winked at Lex, "I like this crazy idea!"
"So, from now on, Mr. Luthor, you are sane."
"What do you mean?"
Lex looked at her with uncertainty, not knowing what this crazy woman was up to.
"It means that my psychological evaluation report for you is normal, and you can leave here without escaping. Isn't that something to be very happy about?"
Harley said to Lex with an insane smile on her lips.
Lex looked at her with some uncertainty, not knowing why she would let him go.
"Aren't you a psychiatrist now? Since you're a psychiatrist, why would you give me a normal psychological evaluation report?"
Lex asked her.
"Because I want to see how you become President, doesn't that count as a reason?"
Harley walked up and reached a hand to Lex's chest, making a provocative gesture.
"And, who knows, I might even be able to offer some help with you becoming President or something."
"What do you want?"
Lex ignored her actions and instead asked the question he most wanted an answer to.
"I don't want anything."
Harley's smile widened, "It's just because you and I are the same kind of people, we are both insane people! Insane people naturally want to find and pursue more insane existences in this world!"
Lex didn't speak, just quietly watched Harley, as if trying to discern her true thoughts.
But he only saw a hint of madness in her eyes, and deep behind them, it was as if a raging storm on the sea, with massive waves rolling in and crashing towards him.
"Splash!"
The huge wave rolled up and crashed heavily on the sea, making a loud sound.
At Haibao Reef, a whaling ship was sailing on the sea, riding the wind and waves.
The old-fashioned ship emitted black smoke and bobbed up and down on the sea, following the rolling waves.
The waves stirring the ocean were not caused by a fierce storm, but by massive marine creatures constantly rolling on the surface.
The marine creature rolling on the surface, occasionally revealing its back, was a sperm whale.
And the ship following the sperm whale was a whaling vessel.
The crew members, preparing to hunt the sperm whale, were shouting loudly, dodging the spray that splashed onto the ship while using harpoon guns to fire at the whale not far from the vessel.
As professional whalers, this group of illegal hunters possessed the most professional experience. After chasing the whale for a period, they had inflicted numerous injuries on it, and its swimming speed had slowed down significantly.
"Speed up! Don't let this damned sperm whale escape, this is my fortune!"
The captain's eyes gleamed with a mad light.
As the largest mammals on Earth, whales are rich in various substances needed by humans. After the Industrial Revolution, people discovered that whale fat could be processed into lubricating oil through technology, and also serve as raw material for candles and soap.
Not only that, some whales also contain unique spices, such as ambergris, unique to sperm whales. Many perfumes have added such special spices, which are more valuable than gold.
With scientific development, the rampant hunting of whales led to a drastic decline in their numbers. With supply unable to meet demand, the whaling industry gradually declined.
To protect the ecosystem, in 1986, the International Whaling Commission announced a ban on commercial whaling. Many countries that joined the commission complied with the regulations, yet there are still many desperate individuals who continue to tirelessly engage in whale hunting activities in the ocean.
The ship before them was a group engaged in illegal whaling activities.
"Full speed ahead! That thing has run fifty nautical miles. If we let it keep going, it might cause more trouble. We need to deal with it while it still has strength."
The captain ordered the surrounding crew.
To succeed in their hunt before the government discovered them, the surrounding crew members had no choice but to deploy inflatable boats and charge towards the whale with weapons.
The sperm whale was besieged by the crew and immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Finally, after letting out a mournful cry, it stopped struggling, floating motionless on the surface of the sea.
Having lost all strength, it could only watch as these cruel humans dragged it away, awaiting its last breath.
Looking at the sperm whale, which had given up struggling, the crew, after a fierce battle, had excited glints in their eyes and cheered loudly around their prey.
After a celebration, they tied strong ropes to the sperm whale, preparing to drag this precious behemoth back to the ship.
"Splash!"
Just as the whale was being dragged, a figure emerged from the seawater.
Aquaman Arthur, wearing a golden scale uniform on his chest, slowly reached out and stroked the whale's injured area.
The whale's fresh blood slowly flowed down his fingers, and Arthur could feel its emotions through it.
Fear, pain.
This was the message the dying whale conveyed to him.
He gritted his teeth, looked at the joyful crew preparing to drag the whale, and shouted, "Ah!"
With his roar, the rope binding the whale, which he held in his hand, instantly snapped.
The astonished crew members looked at this suddenly appearing unknown person, not understanding what had happened.
