As he said this, he recalled Avery's audacious act of standing on the bridge railing in the strong wind, listening to rock music, looking rebellious and defiant. Even he himself didn't have the confidence to back it up.

"Clark, sometimes you have to respect other people's fate."

Recalling the cause of this series of events, David couldn't help but say coldly.

"What do you mean?"

"Put aside your helpfulness!"

Standing on the bridge railing during a thunderstorm, thinking he looked cool listening to music with headphones, he died and no one else was to blame.

"People should bear the consequences of their actions."

Even if something happens to such a person, he won't feel a shred of sympathy.

David didn't directly tell Clark that he was meddling because his parents were in the house earlier.

"You enjoy being someone else's nanny so much?"

“He’s just a teenager going through puberty, don’t be so hard on him, David.”

Clark couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die, and sensing his brother's complete lack of affection for Avery, he wanted to persuade him to be more forgiving.

We might meet Avery soon, so we must avoid any conflict.

"Have you forgotten how old you are?"

David replied.

"..."

Because of his unique circumstances, Clark encountered many things and troubles that other children never experienced from a young age, making him generally more mature than his peers.

But he's only eighteen.

call!

The two were walking on the road.

Suddenly, David stopped and squinted.

On the highway a hundred meters away, a figure sped past at dozens of times the speed of sound, disappearing into the distance like lightning. Even with his eyesight, he could only barely see a blurry trail and could not make out the figure clearly.

This scene seemed so familiar, but...

Clark, now an ordinary person, wondered why David had stopped. He looked over there but saw nothing.

"What's wrong, David?"

The update is a little late; I wrote an extra 400 words. Please continue reading! (〃'▽'〃)

49. Chapter 49: Avery went to Gotham?

"Ok?"

David stared at the direction where the figure disappeared for several seconds, his heart filled with surprise and doubt.

How could there be an ability user in a small town who can match Clark's speed?

"That guy came from...Avery's house?"

His expression shifted rapidly several times as a bizarre thought suddenly occurred to him: Clark's abilities might not have simply disappeared temporarily.

"Hurry up, Clark."

David quickly led the puzzled Clark to the street in front of Avery's house.

The door shattered, as if hit by a rocket, and fragments scattered across the grass in front of the house.

The sound of a woman crying sadly could be heard coming from the Avery family's house.

"not good!"

Clark rushed into the house with a worried look on his face.

Their geography teacher, Reagan, was helped to sit on the sofa, his forehead scraped and looking distraught. Avery's mother, Beth, wept sadly, nestled beside her husband like a mother who had lost her child, heartbroken.

Clark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were alright.

"Aunt Beth, what's wrong?"

David glanced at the shards of wood in front of the door, frowned, and followed them in, asking a question.

“Avery has been like a different person since he came back yesterday.”

Aunt Beth's eyes were red.

"He just tried to run away from home, and his father tried to stop him, but he was thrown off balance..."

Avery casually tossed Reagan aside, sending him flying over the dining table and landing seven or eight meters away on the sofa. If it weren't for the sofa, he might have suffered broken bones and serious injuries requiring hospitalization.

Then their son, Avery, kicked the door open, creating a loud bang and a gust of wind before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Reagan was filled with bewilderment; how could his son possess such strength?

"Run away from home? Where did he go?"

Clark, standing behind him, quickly pressed for an answer.

Find Avery before he does something irreversible while he is clearly emotionally unstable.

"Wait a minute, Clark."

After hearing Beth's story, David became even more certain of his suspicion and pulled her back to the door.

"Don't you find Aunt Beth's description particularly familiar?"

He frowned, and said in a low voice as if deep in thought.

"He has a defense that is unaffected by being struck by lightning, immense strength, and incredible speed that is beyond the human eye's ability to track. Avery may not have gained his abilities through mutation."

"Not a mutation?"

Clark didn't understand his brother's meaning, even though these abilities were somewhat astonishing.

But the previous case of Greck also fit this description.

"Just now, a figure left the town from this direction at several times the speed of sound."

David's eyes flickered, and he spoke in a deep voice about what he had just seen.

"I'm afraid it's not that coincidental."

He paused, then asked in return.

"You lost your abilities, and Avery just happened to mutate and gain abilities equivalent to yours?"

"what?"

Clark was stunned, his mouth agape.

"You...you mean, my power was transferred to Avery by the lightning and meteorite?"

Before David could nod.

He hurriedly ran back to the couple and pressed them to tell him where Avery had gone.

"Aunt Beth, Avery is in critical condition. Where did he go?"

"I am not sure."

Beth wiped away her tears, terrified by her son's sudden change, her voice choked with emotion.

“Avery said he felt uncomfortable here and that he wanted to go to a paradise for the powerful.”

There is no law there, and many apathetic people are waiting to be conquered…

“It’s not far, because he will come back. When he comes back, he will come to this town and erase everything that makes him uncomfortable.”

She tearfully recounted the words her son left behind before he departed.

"At that time, he can do whatever he wants, and nothing in the world can stop him."

"Do whatever you want?"

David sneered.

Last time, Griev felt he had begun to evolve and believed he was a superman who was ahead of everyone in the world. This time, Avery has gained Kryptonian abilities and wants to become Homelander.

"A paradise for the powerful? A place without legal constraints?"

The string of words was confusing, and Clark couldn't immediately figure out where he was.

Where is that? Some war-torn region?

David turned his head to look in the distance, in the direction where the incredibly fast figure had disappeared, his gaze deep and unsettling.

"The answer to the question is simple—Gotham."

Gotham?

Clark's expression changed.
