Needless to say, Clark was reluctant to give up the opportunity to speak freely with his dream girl.

But she still decided to return the necklace to Lana.

Even if returning the necklace would immediately heal the rift between Lana and Whitney and help Whitney, he would also lose his chance.

"Too kind, no wonder he's a future superhero."

David could only offer his opinion on this.

……

Before the evening dance.

Clark kept pestering David, wanting the necklace back.

David gave a perfunctory response.

Why would you return the kryptonite you've already obtained?

In addition, Clark kept requesting that emotional points be credited to his account.

At the ball.

Chloe, who had not been invited to dance, had no choice but to team up with Pete to avoid an awkward situation.

As for David and Clark, neither of them cared about these things.

Melodious music, in the brightly lit dance floor.

Couples of young men and women in formal attire exchanged glances, their faces beaming with smiles, like birds slowly taking flight.

Beside the long dining table.

David casually picked up a pastry and tasted it.

"Look there, your dream girl is dancing with another man's arm around her waist."

He pointed with his fork at the most eye-catching pair in the center and chuckled at Clark, who was making repeated requests beside him.

"Even so, you still want to return the necklace?"

Clark stared at the center of the dance floor, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth, as if he had eaten a lemon.

Even though she was a little angry, Lana, unaware of the situation, did not refuse Whitney's invitation to the prom after being reassured that Whitney had lied and completely absolved herself of any responsibility.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two looked deeply into each other's eyes and danced slowly, the most dazzling couple in the middle of the dance floor.

The person you like dresses up for the ball, but it's not for him.

He was just an inconspicuous, invisible person standing on the edge of the ball.

“That was originally Lana’s necklace, David.”

Clark's tone betrayed his disappointment, but he still spoke.

David was somewhat exasperated with Clark and didn't want to make things worse for him in his current predicament.

"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"It's fine if you don't have a chance anyway, Lana isn't right for you."

Clark's face lit up with joy, and upon hearing this, he wanted to ask why he said that.

Suddenly, the fire alarm on the ceiling above the school auditorium was triggered, and water poured down from the pipes like a torrential downpour.

"what!"

"Where did the water come from?"

"The fire alarm has been triggered! Where is the fire?!"

Screams erupted, and everyone in the auditorium was caught off guard, instantly becoming soaked to the bone. Their meticulously applied makeup was ruined, and their hair, styled with hair wax, collapsed. Everyone was disheveled and panicked.

David's hands were soaked with slurry, and he glanced at his wet clothes, his expression turning sour.

"Was it an accident?"

Clark quickly scanned the area but couldn't see any fire or even smoke.

Is the fire alarm broken?

Or was the central control system outside triggered?

Bang!

Just then, the auditorium doors were suddenly kicked open.

A series of clear footsteps sounded.

Stab it!

"God said that everyone is born with original sin."

The entire room fell silent as everyone turned to look in their direction. A slender figure wearing a hood walked in, raised his head to reveal a cold face, and a dazzling current, like a silver snake, shot out from his hand, while a burnt smell filled the air.

"Although my target this time isn't all of you, however..."

Amidst the horrified and bewildered gazes of the crowd, he paused, then slammed his hand, imbued with a powerful electric current capable of melting steel, onto a damp patch of ground.

"I don't mind helping you absolve your sins ahead of time!"

Sorry for the late update, I updated a bit more than usual to make up for the half-chapter I owed yesterday.

Chapter 11 Killed him, Clark

First, the fire alarm was triggered, and everyone got soaked.

The sudden appearance of a person with superpowers who can generate electricity makes it clear that this is a meticulously planned massacre.

David raised an eyebrow as he looked at the person at the door.

I had long suspected that the strange tales circulating in this small town were not unfounded.

"It is very likely that the radiation from kryptonite caused genetic mutations in some people."

After all, the rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation.

But unexpectedly, a madman suddenly appeared and wanted to kill almost everyone in the town's high school.

"what!"

The crowd screamed in terror.

"What kind of horror movie is this?"

Chloe and Pete were trembling with fear.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows what happens when a dangerous electric current comes into contact with water.

That person could instantly kill hundreds of people here simply by touching the ground with both hands.

"Raise your hand!"

Everyone seemed to see hell beckoning to them, and some of the boys wanted to rush forward to stop it.

But it was all in vain.

That devilishly thin figure swiftly pressed his electrifying hands to the ground.

In less than a second, at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, it was impossible for anyone to stop him.

In an instant, David frowned, about to make a move.

Even setting aside the fact that he knew some of the people among them, saving them was just a simple matter of lifting a finger.

“From another perspective, if everyone here has perished, leaving only Clark and me to survive, it’s hard not to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.”

"David? No!"

However, someone was faster than him. Clark glanced at David, who was 'in danger' beside him, and his heart skipped a beat. His expression changed drastically, and with a low shout, he burst out with unprecedented speed and disappeared from the spot.

Stab it!

In the blink of an eye, with less than ten centimeters remaining, the current in Jeremy's hand was about to touch the ground.

But the next instant, he was suddenly grabbed around the waist and carried away.

"what happened?"

"Where is that person?"

Some people screamed in fear and closed their eyes, but the excruciating pain they had imagined from the electric shock never came; they touched their bodies.

When they opened their eyes and looked at the door again, the devil who wanted to murder them had disappeared. Only a cold wind blew in from outside, making them shiver.

"Is it an illusion?"

Was everything that just happened a mass hallucination?

Some of those who even ran toward Jerome to stop him didn't see what happened because Clark was moving too fast, far beyond the limits of human vision.

They didn't even see a blurry afterimage.

"When something happened, he didn't look at Lana immediately."

David slowly put down the pastry in his hand, feeling a little relieved.
