American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 51 Good Words Are Hard to Persuade

On campus.

What's your opinion on this?

Chloe looked at Gino.

"Just as you thought." Gino squinted. "A chubby girl weighing over 100 kilograms lost weight overnight?"

Excluding the possibility of fat removal surgery, the other party may have also been affected by Kryptonite and gained some kind of peculiar ability.

Clark, however, didn't find it strange: "Uh, maybe you're all overthinking it? That girl just took some kind of diet pills."

"It's like you attributing all the strange things happening in town to a meteor shower."

Chloe frowned in displeasure and retorted, "My theory has a basis! It's a very interesting theory, but you just don't want to believe it."

Most people thought her claim was nonsense, which angered Chloe.

"I find her theory quite interesting." Gino put his hands in his pockets, glancing at Clark. "Do you remember where you were during the meteor shower?"

Clark lowered his head, pursed his lips, and shook his head: "I don't know. My parents hadn't adopted me when the meteor shower happened."

Gino clapped his hands and laughed, "I remember this very clearly."

"On the day of the meteorite strike, Lex, my father, and I happened to be in town."

"The first meteorite hit near me and Lex, and he lost all his hair as a result."

Clark pursed his lips. So, it was his arrival that caused these tragedies?

Then, Clark looked at Gino's arm. Perhaps Gino's strength was also granted by the meteorite?

"so."

Gino offered his assessment: "There's definitely something strange about that Julie."

"Hey, I think she's really hot right now!" Pete said somewhat discontentedly. He had finally found a dance partner, but his friends all thought she was a "monster."

"My personal advice, Pete," Gino said, glancing at the black man, "is to keep your distance from that girl."

"Hey, so you guys are here!?"

Not far away, a girl named Julie saw the four of them and her eyes lit up. She ran excitedly toward them, but then clutched her stomach and showed a pained expression.

However, the pain seemed to last only a second before the girl smiled again and walked towards the four people—or rather, Pete, one of the four.

Gino's gaze swept over Julie.

Although he had never heard of the girl's name, his exceptional memory quickly helped Gino recall what Julie looked like before.

I glanced at this chubby girl during a geometry class. She was overweight, her eyes were darting around, and she seemed full of insecurity and fear.

His gaze fell on the girl's face, which was neither too thin nor too fat, and her two slightly chubby thighs, which further confirmed Gino's judgment.

"Gino".

Clark subtly approached his friend and whispered in Gino's ear, "Could she end up like Gray?"

Clearly, Clark, having learned his lesson, has matured and no longer views society and human psychology as idyllic as in fairy tales.

Gino patted Clark on the shoulder: "Get ready, Clark."

Julie, oblivious to Gino's meaningful expression, looked excitedly at Peter, her small hand clasped in hers, and said, "Do you have time at noon? I'd like you to come with me to pick out a dress!"

"A formal dress?" Xiao Hei's gaze swept over the girl's firm breasts, and he swallowed hard before agreeing without hesitation, "Of course, I'm happy to oblige."

Pitt's reaction made Jolie giggle: "Let's go then!"

The girl led Pete away, and the two walked out of the campus chatting and laughing.

"Gino, we should stop her!" Clark was getting anxious. Pete was his friend, and he didn't want his friend to become a dried-up corpse.

"I've already tried to persuade him," Gino shrugged, looking indifferent. "But the little black prince doesn't seem to want us involved."

"So," Gino patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "the best way is to mind your own business."

Respecting others' fate and setting aside the urge to help others—yes, that's right.

"But."

Clark wanted to say something more, but Gino had already left with Chloe.

"I have to go check it out." Clark lifted his leg, intending to follow Pete to protect his friend's life.

But then another voice rang out from behind: "Clark, where did you go?"

It's Lana's voice!

Clark's eyes lit up, and he subtly withdrew the leg he had just stepped out.

He turned around, and Lana, wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and black sweatpants, stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Clark with displeasure: "Clark, we agreed to meet at my house at noon to help me pick out a dress, you didn't forget, did you?"

As she spoke, Lana tugged at her long ponytail and asked, "What hairstyle should I have for the ball?"

"I think," Clark said with a firm gaze and a smile, "I can give you advice."

Clark patted his chest and said, "I often watch my father help my mother choose hairstyles at home, so I have some experience in this area!"

Hmm, as for Pete?

Clark reassured himself, thinking that since the girl liked Pete so much, there shouldn't be any problems.

A formal dress shop in a small town.

Pitt followed Jolie into the store with great interest.

Because of the dance, many high school students can be seen here choosing their evening gowns.

Which outfit do you think would look better on me?

Jolie led Pitt through a dazzling array of dresses.

Pete thought for a moment and gave a perfect answer: "Uh, you look beautiful in anything!"

"I need the one that suits me best." Jolie smiled, clearly pleased with Pitt's compliment.

Pete scratched his cheek, glanced at the clothes rack, and pointed to a sexy red dress: "Okay, then why not try red?"

The girl followed Pete's finger and looked at the red dress. She was filled with emotion. She used to only be able to look up to these beautiful dresses, but now she could wear them.

"Then, wait for me here."

Jolie ran her finger lightly across Pitt's lips, and as she turned to leave, she gave him a wink before heading towards the fitting room, carrying her red dress.

Walk through the bustling crowd and turn the corner.

"Gurgle!"

A strong feeling of hunger surged through her abdomen again, causing Julie to instinctively clutch her stomach.

"Wow, who is this?"

A male voice sounded above her head. Julie struggled to lift her head and discovered that the person was the same guy who had mocked her on the playground yesterday.

Suddenly, a wicked thought arose in Julie's mind.

The young man didn't notice the deep-seated hatred that flashed in the girl's eyes. His salty gaze swept over Julie's body: "I didn't expect you to have lost so much weight. It's astonishing."

"Hehe, what a coincidence." Julie immediately suppressed her hunger, struck a perfect pose, and gently waved the red dress in her hand, staring at the boy as she said, "Would you like to see me in this dress up close?"

Thank you so much for the 100 coins from Dawn! I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to check my messages (I hope you'll forgive me QAq).
