American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 106 Bar Chat

I think so.

Lana pursed her lips and said seriously, "He is a hero. Although his actions are also against the law, in Gotham City where the law has collapsed, only the logic of using violence to stop violence can curb crime."

Chloe stopped turning her coffee, and the girl shared her thoughts: "The masked hero's actions will undoubtedly inspire more people like him who want to change the city to join in, which is truly inspiring."

In the eyes of the two women, Batman's actions were cool and noble, after all, not everyone has the courage to be prepared to fight against the evil of an entire city.

"Clark, what's your opinion?" Lana asked, displeased, seeing Clark's absent-minded expression.

"Me? I think it's very, very cool," Clark stammered. In fact, he had also thought about using these powers to change the world and punish evil, just like the masked swordsman in Western stories.

However, the boy's dream was suppressed by his adoptive parents before it could even begin, and Clark can only envy the masked man now.

"By the way, Gino."

Seeing the conversation had started, Lana glanced at Chloe, intending to give her friend a helping hand: "Are you free tomorrow?"

"I plan to hold a horse race at my home."

Lana's aunt is also a well-known wealthy person in town, whose family runs a horse breeding base with considerable profits.

"pity."

Gino shrugged, glanced at Lana, and said, "I'll be going back to Metropolis in a while."

"My father was injured and fell into a coma, and someone has to look after the company headquarters, so I can't stay here for long this time."

Hearing Gino's words, Lana's eyes flashed with helplessness. Looking at the absent-minded Chloe, she felt only regret. She had done her best, but Gino really didn't have time.

Let's get together again sometime.

Gino tossed a stack of Franklins to the waiter, saying the meal was on him.

Watching the boy's departing figure, Chloe's eyes reddened for some reason.

"Uh? Shall I go for a walk outside?"

Clark sensed the subtle tension in the air, and he was also somewhat aware of Chloe's feelings for Gino.

After Clark left, Chloe could no longer bear the bitterness in her heart and burst into tears, burying her face in her hands on the table.

Having a crush on someone is so painful.

metropolis.

Located in one of the top three cities in the United States in terms of GDP, it attracts elite talents from all over the world.

Compared to Gotham's filth and disorder, Metropolitan City is a world apart from Gotham in terms of both sanitation and safety.

In a residential area on the east side of the metropolis, a shelf is filled with all sorts of strange and unusual items.

There were withered monkey paws, unidentified twisted tentacles, and gray crucibles, all piled up on the shelf.

The scattered books and papers lay messily on the table.

"Hmm~"

A light, cheerful song drifted from the bathroom not far away.

"Click".

As the door opened, a pair of straight, shapely, and long legs strode toward the bath towel.

Water droplets slid down the smooth skin, wetting the mahogany floor.

She wiped her face with a clean white bath towel and rubbed her long hair.

The owner of the long legs came to the mirror.

Beneath her high, straight nose were delicate and alluring, moist red lips, and white dice-shaped earrings swayed gently beneath her dainty little ears.

A pair of beautiful, large eyes seemed to contain magnificent stars, and those purple eyes looked like they came from an extraordinary origin, reflecting her flawless and shapely figure in the mirror.

The girl put her hands on her hips and pouted, "Zatana the magician, prepare to attack!"

She braced herself for her meager resources, then deflated like a punctured balloon.

Wearing a light blue wool sweater (the autumn weather is so bad you could easily catch a cold if you're not careful), she put on black stockings and leggings, and finally, she put on the magician's round hat that magicians in circuses often wear. A cute girl with three parts mystery and six parts playfulness stands prettily in front of the mirror.

The girl's black high heels clicked on the floor as she sat back down at the table and picked up an obscure and difficult-to-understand magic book to study it intently.

Zatanna Zatara, the only daughter of a magical family, has been searching for her father ever since she witnessed his disappearance as a child.

"This is so difficult."

Zatanna chanted the tongue-twisting magic incantation, feeling somewhat agitated. Her large purple eyes swept over the photo frame on the table.

Inside is a photo of a blond boy and a dark-haired girl.

In the photo, the girl smiles sweetly and wraps her arms around the boy's neck.

"I wonder what Mr. Gino is doing?"

Zatanna leaned back in her chair and sighed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who could it be so late?"

Zatanna glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was already midnight. Who would come to visit so late?

"Mensid Cave!"

The girl murmured softly, and as her words fell, the once sturdy wooden door suddenly became ethereal, as if it had vanished from the sky.

Zatanna saw the figure standing outside the door.

A tall figure in a black trench coat, carrying a case of strong beer, his beautiful long golden hair flowing gently in the wind.

"Gino!?"

Zatanna pushed the door open almost instantly, her purple eyes brimming with surprise. She rubbed her small hands together and gave a silly smile: "Why are you here?"

"I remember, weren't you in Gotham City?"

Gino casually tossed the beer in his hand to the girl and went into the room to take off his trench coat.

"Something happened at home."

"Oh? Is that alright?"

"fine."

Gino sat down in a chair and gestured for Zatanna to join him for a drink.

The two first met in the year Clark was copied.

After her family noticed her unusual behavior, Leticia took Gino to see many masters in the mystical world.

Among them was Zatanna's father, Giovanni Zatala.

Giovanni is a skilled magician who often takes on jobs such as exorcising demons and evil spirits.

It was around that time that Gino became acquainted with Zatanna, and the two became friends and had a very good relationship.

*Smack!*

The wine glasses clinked and then swallowed.

As the cold liquor entered her stomach, Zatanna let out a satisfied sigh.

"Uncle Giovanni is still missing?"

Gino poured the girl another glass.

"Could not find it."

A hint of sadness flashed in Zatanna's eyes.

His father disappeared six years ago, when he was thirteen years old.

In recent years, apart from running the exorcism business and magic troupe left by her father, Zatanna has spent the rest of her time searching for the truth behind Giovanni's disappearance.

The fact that a powerful magician could disappear without a trace has kept the girl up at night.

A moment of silence fell between the two.

"Ding-dong~"

Another ringtone broke the silence.

"I'll go open the door."

Zatanna put down her wine glass and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards the door.

"Daka~"

The door opened, and a middle-aged blonde woman stood outside, her face filled with terror. Her pale lips and fearful eyes looked somewhat eerie in the darkness. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me, is this the Zatanna Mystery Agency?"
