American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 104 Reconciliation

"Bang!"

Like a hypersonic cruise missile, or an arrow shot by a god, the first lightning bolt cast upon the world by the creator god.

A figure flew at an unimaginable speed at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

The condensed air was violently torn apart, so fast that it created a thin sonic barrier around Gino, creating a humming sound wherever it passed.

Gino, flying through the air, swept its gaze across the town below the clouds.

Soon, he saw the shadow of Kansas.

From above, Kansas's landscape looks like a half-smoked pipe.

"Found it," Gino thought to himself.

As it descended, it flew almost skimming the surface of the sea, and wherever it passed, the ocean currents were divided, creating a magnificent scene reminiscent of Moses parting the sea.

"boom!"

Leaving the sonic boom behind, it flew away from the ocean at an extremely high speed, its afterimage sweeping over the metropolis and around the skyscrapers.

Soon, the appearance of the town of Smallville came into view.

The town, devastated by the tornado, resembled an abandoned factory after the deindustrialization of America, dilapidated and desolate.

The once simple and quiet town seemed to have been struck by a storm from the heavens; roadside signs were broken in half, and many dilapidated tables and chairs were scattered throughout the town.

Damaged houses, wrecked cars.

Gino watched all this in silence, thinking to himself that America truly was the place most beloved by tornadoes, and Smallville was no exception.

The town's unique geographical location and air quality have earned it the nickname "Tornado Town" (certified by Superman's adoptive father).

Looking at the town he had left for so long, now returning, Gino felt a pang of sadness.

However, visiting my cheap brother is the priority right now.

The boy found a secluded alleyway and landed there, then activated his super speed, transforming into a blur as he rushed to the hospital.

Small town hospital.

Because of the tornado, the town was filled with injured and sick people.

Some people suffered concussions after being swept into the air by tornadoes while driving, while others were cut by sharp objects and bled profusely.

Some people are sitting at home when a bathtub falls from the ceiling and breaks both of their thighs – it's like even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Looking around, it was no different from entering a refugee camp; the doctors and nurses in the town were almost frantic with work.

Among the crowd were also many people who were there to help.

Among them, Gino saw Chloe and Lana, who had dark circles under their eyes and looked haggard.

The two were helping to move the wounded and push hospital beds.

Gino walked toward the two of them, helping Lana and Chloe lift the medical kit that weighed several kilograms.

"Thanks."

Lana and Chloe didn't even look up. The boxes were filled with medical supplies urgently transferred from other hospitals, which needed to be unloaded and put into use immediately.

"You're welcome."

A warm and familiar voice sounded above their heads.

Lana glanced up instinctively, and then couldn't look away.

Her long golden hair shone like sunlight under the dim sky, and she had a high nose bridge, well-defined features, and a cheerful, sunny smile.

In addition, he had a tall stature and a robust physique.

All I can say is that Gino looks much more handsome after being in the sun than before.

"Gino?!"

Lana's face was filled with surprise when she saw the boy who suddenly appeared.

"Gino?"

Chloe also looked up, and when she saw Gino, the girl's face immediately turned red.

"You've gotten a lot more handsome in just a few weeks."

"It's alright," Gino shrugged, helping the two of them carry the goods.

With his help, the three of them quickly finished their work.

Lana nudged Chloe gently with her shoulder, signaling the girl to be brave and face it.

At first, Lana also liked Gino, but Gino kept his distance from Lana.

Simps are common, but female simps are rare. Cutting your losses is a good strategy, you know.

The girl had no choice but to settle for Clark, who loved her deeply. The two were currently in a flirtatious phase and their relationship was going quite well.

Chloe pursed her lips, and under Lana's encouraging gaze, she was about to walk towards the boy when Gino waved to them, saying, "I'm going to find Lex first. See you later."

Watching Gino's departing figure, Chloe could only helplessly swallow back the words she was about to say.

Chloe muttered, "Okay, see you later."

Gino entered the hospital, and after avoiding some seriously injured patients, he quickly arrived at the top floor, the fourth floor.

In a country where capitalism is prevalent, families like the Lex family naturally possess some "unremarkable" privileges.

For example, the best private medical teams are already on standby.

When Gino pushed open the door to the ward, he saw Lex covering his eyes, and Clark standing next to him with an embarrassed look on his face.

And then there was Lionel, lying in a hospital bed with an IV drip, seemingly unconscious. The old man's eyes were covered with a white sheet, as if he had suffered some kind of injury.

Clark was the first to see Gino.

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.

Lex noticed their odd behavior, smiled, stood up, and said, "Gino, it was Clark who saved Lionel and me."

Gino's raised eyebrows relaxed, and he sighed. Clark waved his hand shyly, while the big boy shook his head and said, "It's what I should do."

Let's rewind to an hour ago.

The clever bald man was furious because Lionel sent a honeypot to test Lex, so he had a big argument with his father Lionel, which escalated from a verbal conflict to a physical one.

Both being wealthy men, Lex was skilled in combat, but being young, he overpowered the veteran with his haphazard punches, chasing Lionel from the hall to outside the manor.

After the two fought their way out of the castle hall, a tornado struck the castle. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. The two unlucky guys were swept into the center of the wind tunnel by the tornado.

Fortunately, Clark and Lana were strolling nearby at the time.

Then, Clark rescued the two who had been caught in the tornado and lost consciousness.

"Then I really have to thank you."

Gino sighed and held out his palm.

"Oh, it's alright. It's just that I should be thanking you." Clark scratched his cheek and clasped Gino's hand with his other hand.

With their arms clasped together, Clark looked into Gino's eyes and said, "You were right back then. Kindness should be used in the right place, and you must have the courage to pay the price for kindness."

Listening to Clark's words, Gino felt a pang of emotion; the young man had indeed grown up quite a bit.

There was a moment of silence, then a pair of large hands gently gripped Gino's shoulders. Clark looked at Gino somewhat nervously and said, "We're still friends, right?"

Although he had a fight with Gino, Clark still valued his friendship with Gino, believing that mistakes must be admitted and that one should stand up straight after being hit.

Gino sighed, and under Clark's conflicted gaze, the boy smiled slightly and patted Clark on the shoulder: "Of course, as long as you don't do anything stupid, we're still friends."

Yes, the world where only Pete is injured has been achieved.
