Chapter 21 Persuading Clark to Change Career

Peter didn't know that Leno Luthor was investigating him, and now he was busy scolding Azu.

Clark next to him was also reprimanded.

"Why are you arguing?"

Peter asked Clark first.

Clark said aggrievedly: "Azu said that the leaves I drew looked like a dog's butt."

"is it?"

Peter looked at Zu, who looked guilty.

"Yes, yes, Dad."

Touching his butt which was still a little sore from being beaten, A-Zu said with a bitter face.

He has thick skin and no one can hurt him by beating him, but Peter can let him experience what pain feels like.

Peter picked up the plant leaves that Clark had drawn with crayons.

"You shouldn't say that, Zu."

Peter educates A-Zu.

"But Clark's drawing really looks like a dog's butt."

“There are a lot of things in the world that look like a dog’s butt, but that doesn’t mean you should go around advertising it.”

Peter closed the album and said to A-Zu: "Sometimes you have to hide your thoughts because you will hurt others."

Clark listened to his godfather's words and suddenly felt a little depressed.

Although I didn't quite understand what he said, it seemed that the Godfather also thought that the leaves he drew looked like dog butts.

Peter sat on the sofa and asked the two, "Do you know why I don't agree with you going to school?"

Generally speaking, American children start school at the age of five or six.

Of course, the specific regulations vary by state and school district, depending on local education policies, resource allocation, and family choices, among other factors.

But in Smallwell, most of the children aged five to six are already in school.

Lana, for example, started pre-school education when she was five years old and is now a first-grade student and will soon become a second-grade senior.

"do not know."

A-Zu shook his head blankly.

"Because you and Clark are not ready yet, ready not to hurt others and be hurt by others."

Jonathan and Martha had talked to me before about the issue of going to school.

But he refused on the grounds that his two children were not ready yet.

He had already imagined the two of them being laughed at as freaks after entering school.

Clark spent his previous life in this kind of environment.

The two had never been injured due to their physical conditions, and they had no control over the amount of strength they exerted, so they had no idea of ​​physical damage.

In addition to his immature personality, he was discriminated against by his classmates.
He was really afraid that A-Zu would get angry and kill his classmates.

"Dad, are we human?"

A-Zu thought of the scene of his father killing zombies, and asked in confusion.

"Of course, we are all human, you and me, and Clark, we are all human."

A-Zu continued, "Since we are human, why are we different from others?"

"This is our talent. Didn't Dad tell you? This is also a responsibility, a responsibility to protect our family."

Clark, who was standing next to him, immediately lit up when he heard Peter talk about the "responsibility to protect the family."

A-Zu nodded, but still a little confused, asked, "Then why do we have to control ourselves?"

Peter was silent for a moment, thinking about Jonathan's education of Clark.

Superman is not an ordinary child. He has no idea of ​​his own destructiveness. If ordinary parents educate him, it would be like a chicken teaching an eagle cub how to live as a chicken. Once he finds out that he is not a "chicken", his repressive instinct will completely get out of control.

Jonathan and Martha educate Superman by limiting the use of his abilities. They don't ask him to be a "chicken", but tell him that he doesn't know how to be an eagle yet. His mind cannot bear the consequences of this power, so he should live like an ordinary person and control his abilities carefully until the day when he can control the power, and then take responsibility for this power.

Although Peter will not educate Azu and Clark like Jonathan and his wife, he can learn some things from them.

He stroked their hair and said, "Because you are not yet able to bear the consequences of losing control of this power, I have to teach you how to control yourselves before you enter school."

"That is to say."

Clark looked up and said expectantly, "Godfather wants to be the teacher of Zu and me?"

"Well, I am your first teacher."

"Then dad can you teach me how to draw?"

Clark didn't even call Peter "Godfather" anymore, he just called him "Dad" and asked Peter to teach him how to draw.

Peter looked down at the "butt" that Clark had drawn and felt a little tired.

"I think a career suitable for you might be journalist, Clark."

Peter seriously persuaded Clark to change his career.

The next day.

Almost everyone in the town attended the funeral at the Smallwell Town Center Church.

The fire and terrorist attack in the auditorium killed more than a dozen people and injured more than twenty people, the largest casualties in the town since the 1950 tornado.

Peter, wearing a black suit, took Clark and A-Zu to attend the funeral for the second time.

Compared to last time, the two little boys have obviously adapted to the atmosphere of the funeral and are imitating the adults by maintaining solemn expressions.

"Thank you, Peter. If it weren't for you, Clark might have been..."

Martha and Jonathan thanked Peter.

"I'm Clark's godfather, this is what I should do."

Peter exchanged a few pleasantries with the couple and asked, "What does the government think of this attack?"

"I heard that the governor has commissioned a special committee to investigate. The media's temporary conclusion is that it was a biological attack. The poisoned people lost their minds and attacked people randomly, but we all know that they were terrible zombies."

At this time, Jonathan had completely believed Peter's "zombie theory".

“I never thought there would be zombies in our town.”

"Jonathan!"

Seeing someone coming, Martha immediately pulled her husband's sleeve, signaling him to be careful with his words.

"I hope I didn't disturb you."

Leno Luther, with long hair and unique temperament, came up to greet everyone.

"Mr. Padraic, and Mr. Kent, right?"

He called out the two men's names as soon as he came up, and said to Peter, "My company has dealt with Mr. Patrick before due to business issues."

"you are?"

Peter looked at this familiar guy.

"I am Lionel Luther."

When Jonathan heard that it was this entrepreneur who had a bad reputation in the town, he didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he just said goodbye and left.

Leno Luther didn't care, because his target was not the other party anyway.

"Mr. Luther still intends to buy my farm?"

Peter asked with a frown as he looked at the father of Lex Luthor, the future enemy of Superman.

This guy can’t be a good person, otherwise how could he cultivate a hero like Lex?
"No, actually, we have abandoned the creation of the chemical plant. We are planning an agricultural subsidy program to help farmers in town."

Peter looked at him in surprise.

Will this guy suddenly change his personality?
