Chapter 246 Go shine!

About two hours ago, in Smallwell Town, on Kent Farm.

Martha sat on the steps at the door with a beer in her hand, raised her bottle toward the moon in the sky, and then patted Clark on the shoulder.

"Clark."

I just heard her speaking softly with a smile.

“Jonathan and I actually had a lot of conflicts back then.

Especially after we both had medical examinations and found out that we might not be able to have children.

Although we know that we love each other deeply, we often cannot control our temper in life.

We always quarreled, and then we always made up.”

Having said that, Martha raised her hand and pointed to the moon in the sky and continued.

“When we argued during the day, Jonathan would go and fix the cow’s hooves himself, while I would work hard to cook a big pot of food for him.

Of course I don't want to stuff him to death, but when I'm angry I like to chop vegetables with great force.

So when I get angry, I will chop vegetables all over the house. We can’t eat them all, and we have to feed them to the animals on the farm, haha.

Then at night, we both wanted to reconcile.

At that time, we sat on the steps, looked up at the moon in the sky, and prayed to God. "

Martha picked up the beer bottle, pointed it towards the moon with nostalgia, and said.

"God, please send a child to both of us.

Even if that child came from the moon!

See, that's what Jonathan said, because he understands me best, and I am a person who really, really likes children.

Just like that, after two months of quarreling and reconciling, we decided to adopt a destined child from an orphanage."

"and then?"

Hearing this, Clark picked up his beer, took a sip, and then asked.

Hearing Clark's question, Martha smiled slightly and said after taking another sip of beer.

"Then you appeared, my child. It was as if God responded to our expectations. You really appeared from the moon we had been gazing at!"

At this point, Martha couldn't help but smile brightly.

She continued while laughing.

“Jonathan and I knew it from the first time we saw you.

God must have known that the two of us would cherish this child with all we have, so he felt comfortable sending you into our hands.

But that's not the point of my buying you a drink, Clark."

Having said that, Martha patted Clark's head gently.

Clark lowered his head slightly, not knowing what to say.

He knew his mother too well and he knew what she would say next.

Martha continued.

“The key to today’s dinner is that I can see Jonathan’s thoughts and Jonathan understands me.

Just like even to this day, I can see what you are thinking.

Clark, your heart is restless. The appearance of that young man from Downton has made you completely unable to sit still, right?

You are not the only special person in this world. There is also Downton, the Greek woman on TV, and the story... Doctor Fate in the Justice Society of America, and the mysterious magician.

Each of them is so extraordinary, and their destinies intersecting together seem to be extraordinarily gorgeous and wonderful!

And most importantly, they can bloom to their heart's content!

I know, I know it all, my child.

What kind of cruel mother would choose to let her child cover up her own brilliance and always be trapped in a muddy farm?

It’s just that you were not grown up in the past, but you are now enough to make me feel at ease, kid.”

At this point, Martha couldn't help but hold her chest tightly.

She was so worried about Clark.

Even someone like Doctor Fate was killed by that sunny and cheerful child in Downton.

My son, the world of superhumans is wonderful, but it is too dangerous.

How can I feel at ease?
But even if I am so worried, how can I let my worries ruthlessly restrain the brilliance that is destined to bloom? Thinking of this, Martha gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then patted Clark's arm heavily.

"Clark, my son, it's time for you to get out of the farm, and even more so, get out of Smallville, a town that's only for the elderly.

If you feel tired outside, just come back home and I will stew some beef for you.

It’s definitely not as good as Michelin food, but it’s definitely your favorite taste.”

"Don't worry, Martha, I can't--"

"Stop!"

Just as Clark was shaking his head quickly, wanting to refuse Martha, Martha suddenly interrupted Clark.

Martha pointed to her heart and smiled.

"I can feel your concern, and that's enough.

But I also hope you accept that I care about you.

Seeds will always fall to the ground when they are ripe, or be blown away by the wind at the right time, go to farther places, and take root in soil that is more suitable for them!

Clark, you are amazing, my son.

So promise me, shine and make me proud of you, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Martha hugged Clark tightly in her arms.

Feeling his mother's embrace, Clark patted her back gently and took a breath with a conflicted look.

Hearing her son's gasp, Martha smiled and let go of Clark, then gently kicked Clark's calf.

"I'm not old enough for you to take care of me. Don't treat me like an old man who can't walk. I'm still young.

If one day I could see my son on TV, believe me, Clark, I would be so happy.

And you, silly child, you work on the farm every day, but your heart has long flown outside the farm.

But no matter what, you must protect yourself.

The world of superhumans is really dangerous. Even though I know my son is the best, you must protect yourself!"

"I know, and I'm far from it, Mom!"

Listening to his mother's words, Clark rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly.

Then he continued to speak to Martha longingly.

“What happened in Gotham the past few days really opened my eyes to the world of superhumans!
Wonder Woman, the Master of Magic, and Doctor Fate, they are all so strong!

And that...that...woman with the S-shaped mark on her chest, she...is even stronger than I can describe!
They can all fly, and I just run a little faster and with a little more power."

Having said that, Clark raised his head enviously and looked towards the sky.

But just as they were looking at the sky, the lights on the farm next door suddenly lit up.

Clark didn't care at this time, but continued to chat with his mother about super powers, especially about Downton.

Even just thinking about Downton now, Clark felt terrified.

Clark couldn't even imagine the speed and power.

Although he is getting stronger every day, he can't even fly, but Downton can easily travel through the universe!
Yes, Clarke still sneaks a look or listen to Downton Abbey from time to time.

He had seen with his own eyes the images of Downton flashing to other universes!
In this way, Clark and Martha continued to talk about Downton, and the contrast between Downton's cheerful appearance and terrifying personality.

While they were chatting, the old pickup truck from the farm next door suddenly started!
Clark does have super senses, but he's not a peeping Tom who spends his time spying on everyone.

He only peeked at a few people now and then.

At this moment, looking at the car driving towards their farm, Clark and Martha stood up and walked towards the car parked in front of their house in surprise.

"Hey, Martha, and Clark, come with us!"

As soon as they approached the pickup truck, old George and his family in the car shouted to Clark and his friends.

“Washington has been invaded by aliens, oh my god, you guys must not have watched the news!
The entire Washington has fallen, even the vice presidents are all dead. If it weren’t for Dennis visiting fucking London, even President Dennis would be finished!

Stop being dazed, you two. My son works for the Luther Group in Metropolis. The boss of my son's group is Alexander Luther, the one who is always on TV.

He sent out notices to great employees like my son, saying that my son could go to Gotham near Downton Abbey, and my son told us!

Do you know Downton Abbey? It is the former estate of the Wayne family. It is the territory of the dead!

You must have heard of that bastard Revenant, right? That guy is much scarier than aliens. Aliens will avoid him when they see him!
So come with us quickly, I’m telling you this because we’ve been neighbors for so many years. If we don’t hurry to the manor, I’m afraid there won’t be any room left!”

I will stay up late to write a few more chapters today, so that I can play Black Myth for a while longer after I get up, hehe.
