Chapter 134. The Deal
----
"Mr. Rockefeller,"
Nolan smiled calmly as he gazed at the aging lion before him, David Rockefeller, head of one of America's oldest and most powerful families.
Though well into his twilight years, David still carried a regal weight, like an old king who no longer hunted but could still command fear with a glance.
"Superman," David greeted, voice steady.
Nolan sipped the tea offered to him.
"I think you know why I'm here," he said, tone light but laced with threat. "In my investigation, I noticed your family's... unusual level of interest in me."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the two men standing behind David.
Paul and John.
They had thought Nolan was just a young man with impressive power, but manageable. Yet the moment his eyes locked onto theirs, both men stiffened. Their blood turned to ice.
It felt as if a starving predator had turned its attention on them, not attacking, just watching.
