The boy opposite him dared not resist and could only lower his head in agreement.
Just then, Mark silently descended from the sky and landed slowly behind the two black men.
The boy looked up as if he sensed something and saw Mark wearing a blue bodysuit, red shorts, and a red cape.
"Super, super super..."
He stared at Mark in disbelief, too excited to utter a complete sentence.
"Super my ass!"
The black man opposite him, unaware of what was happening, raised his hand to slap the boy and bring him to his senses.
But at that moment, Mark made his move.
He grabbed the two black men by the neck with one hand each and lifted them off the ground.
"Uh, uh..."
The two black men struggled desperately, trying to turn around and see who was attacking them from behind.
But their strength was like that of ants in front of Mark, and they naturally had no power to resist.
"Bang! Bang!"
Mark used a little force to throw the two black men into a trash can more than ten meters away.
He knew that the military was definitely watching his Superman identity, and that all his actions could be tracked down so they could analyze his personality and behavioral logic.
In this situation, Mark certainly wouldn't kill someone indiscriminately.
"Mr. Superman, thank you for saving me! I never imagined that you, Mr. Superman, were not only a character in comics, but also a real person!"
At this moment, the boy opposite him regained his composure slightly, but his face still showed excitement. He took out paper and pen from his backpack and handed them to Mark, saying expectantly, "Mr. Superman, you have always been my idol. Can you give me your autograph?"
Chapter 115 Attention from All Sides
Seeing the boy's sincere eyes, Mark smiled and said, "Of course."
After transforming into Superman, Mark's voice also became deep and resonant, perfectly matching the temperament of his current body.
Mark reached out and took the paper and pen the boy handed him, and signed his name on it: Clark Kent.
After returning the paper and pen to the boy, Mark didn't delay and immediately flew away from the alley.
Only after Mark was out of sight did the boy excitedly walk out of the alley with Mark's autograph in hand.
Just as the boy was about to walk out of the alley, three men in dark suits blocked his way.
The boy glanced at the two black men in the trash can behind him, looking somewhat frightened, assuming they were in cahoots.
The leader of the three was a middle-aged man who was slightly balding and wore a white shirt and a blue striped tie.
He looked at the autographed piece of paper in the boy's hand, took out $100 and handed it to him: "Kid, can you sell me this autographed piece?"
The boy quickly hid the autograph behind his back.
This is his idol Superman's autograph, how could he possibly sell it to someone else?
The middle-aged man then took out ten $100 bills from his pocket and handed them to the boy in front of him.
The boy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook his head and refused.
The middle-aged man then took out about 3000 US dollars from himself and his two companions and handed it to the boy in front of him again.
This time, the boy did not hesitate at all, decisively took the stack of US dollars, and handed the autograph to the other party.
Seemingly afraid that the other party would change their mind, the boy quickly slung his backpack over his shoulder and left the alley.
However, he was unaware that if he had refused again, the middle-aged man was already preparing to apply for more operating funds from his superiors.
He missed a chance to make a fortune.
After the boy left, the middle-aged man looked at the signature in his hand.
"Clark Kent".
He whispered the name above, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Chief, I just got his autograph. Do you know his name? Clara Kerpint! That's right, the name of Superman from the comics!"
"He just saved a boy, so it seems his character is just like Superman in the comics."
The middle-aged man—Coulson—said to Nick Fury with a slightly agitated tone.
Based on the intelligence brought by the pilot yesterday, the military discovered that Mark might actually be the Superman from the comics—or at least he has similar abilities!
Faced with such a seemingly superhuman existence, the military dared not take any action lightly.
Therefore, after being reported through multiple levels, the intelligence was eventually synchronized with S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Nick Fury learned that someone who appeared to be Superman had appeared, he almost exploded, and alarms went off in his head!
He was a person who was always filled with a sense of crisis and was wary and suspicious of everything.
Now that such a mysterious and powerful figure has suddenly appeared, Nick Fury can't even sleep peacefully until he figures out the other party's identity and purpose.
Therefore, he immediately sent Coulson over to try to make contact with this suspected Superman.
"Coulson, find a way to contact him immediately and find out his true identity and purpose for appearing."
Nick Fury, however, was not as optimistic as Coulson.
He didn't believe the other person was really Superman, and even if he were, he might not be as friendly to humans as depicted in the comics.
“Yes, Chief, I will try my best to make contact with him. But as you know, this Mr. Superman cannot be detected by radar or infrared light, so it will not be easy to make contact with him.”
Colson replied.
"That's your problem. I just want the results!"
Nick Fury hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Mark was unaware of what happened after he left.
But he discovered that thousands of meters behind him, drones were constantly taking turns following him.
Seeing that the other person was just following along and not doing anything else, he decided to leave it at that for the time being.
Having witnessed Mark's formidable strength, the official organizations were indeed unable to rest easy and allow such a human bomb to fly freely over the city.
"Hmm, what is that?"
Just then, Mark saw a girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old standing on the roof of a seven-story school building below.
A large group of students and teachers were gathered downstairs, excitedly shouting at her.
"Laila, don't do this, it's not worth it!"
"Child, everything will be alright, there's no need for it to come to this!"
"..."
Hearing the shouts from the crowd below, Mark understood that the girl upstairs was probably trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Such incidents are quite common in the United States, mainly due to various bullying incidents that occur in schools.
Students without family connections are especially vulnerable to bullying from their classmates.
I hate you all!
The girl standing upstairs screamed, then closed her eyes and jumped down.
Mark didn't expect the other party to be so decisive; in an instant, he accelerated and rushed towards the girl who was jumping off the building.
The speed he unleashed at full power far exceeded the speed at which the girl fell freely.
While she was still in mid-air, Mark arrived and caught her in his arms in a princess carry, gently lowering her to the ground.
"My God, am I seeing things? This...this is Superman!"
"How is this possible! There really are superheroes in this world?"
"..."
The students and teachers around him stared wide-eyed at Mark as he slowly landed.
The girl, held in Mark's arms, was also in a daze, staring wide-eyed at Mark in disbelief: "Mr. Superman, am I dreaming?"
"Child, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Before making a decision, think more about your family."
Mark flashed a standard smile at the girl, revealing his upper teeth, and then placed her on the ground.
He wasn't good at comforting people, but he believed the teachers here would guide her.
Mark then leaped into the air and hurtled towards the sky, once again eliciting gasps from the crowd.
The drone behind him captured the entire scene of Mark rescuing people and transmitted it to a huge screen in the middle of a spacious conference room.
At this moment, dozens of attendees were seated on both sides of the long table in the large conference room.
This includes a host of high-ranking federal officials such as the Secretary of Defense, the Commander of the Federal Air Defense Command, and the Federal National Security Advisor, as well as professionals such as psychological counseling analysts, micro-expression analysts, and psychological profilers.
The sudden appearance of Mark, a figure resembling Superman, has already attracted great attention from the federal leadership.
They must judge whether Mark poses a threat to the Federation or even the entire planet based on his actions.
Chapter 116 Attitudes towards Superman
"Sirs, this superhuman-like figure has saved two innocent victims today. Judging from his behavior, he should not have any ill intentions towards us for the time being. I suggest that we approach him with a more gentle attitude."
A Defense Intelligence Agency specialist made a judgment based on what Mark did today.
"But what if he's faking it? We can't rule that out! I suggest we continue sending people to probe him and see what his true fighting ability is like,"
Another CIA official objected.
"Based on his micro-expressions and body language analysis, he is probably not faking it."
The psychological profiler pointed to Mark's photo on the big screen and analyzed it frame by frame for everyone.
If it were Mark himself, he couldn't possibly fool these world-class psychoanalysts.
But now he has transformed into Superman, and with a little disguise, he has fully revealed Superman's compassionate, gentle, and humble character.
No matter how much these experts analyze, they simply cannot find any flaws.
Therefore, after the meeting lasted for several hours, the federal leadership unanimously decided to treat this suspected superhuman being with a more moderate attitude and absolutely not to use violence against him, so as not to provoke his dissatisfaction.
Mark was unaware of the controversy surrounding him among the federal officials. After collecting sunlight data in outer space, he returned to Payne Manor.
At that moment, he received a call from Archer, the president of Payne Films: "Boss, the pre-production work for Captain America is complete, and we can officially start filming."
"Okay, let's officially start filming then!"
Mark nodded in agreement.
Although he rarely visited the film company, he always had Alice keep an eye on everyone's every move.
He knew that the military originally had some objections to the script, believing that it contained elements that smeared the military.
For example, the military leadership wouldn't let Captain America participate in the war, but instead treated him like a puppet, taking him on tours around the country.
The fact that high-ranking military officials abandoned the rescue of the captured 107th Infantry Regiment is also a major stain on their record.
Therefore, the military suggested that they revise the script.
However, after Archer's continuous negotiations with the military and an additional payment of $500 million, the military finally relented.
After all, those were events from World War II. Even if the high-ranking military officers at that time hadn't died, they were no longer in high positions, so the impact was naturally not that significant.
Mark recognized Archer's abilities through this incident and decided to keep him in the position of president.
The next ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Mark would transform into Superman every day, first taking a tour of Los Angeles before flying into outer space to absorb sunlight.
Over the course of ten days, he extinguished three fires of varying sizes in Los Angeles, handled two kidnapping cases, a bank robbery, and rescued two innocent girls from a group of human traffickers.
Although the authorities are still trying their best to suppress news about Superman, news about him continues to circulate online.
"Thank you, Superman! If it weren't for Superman breathing out his cold air to extinguish the flames, our whole family would have been burned to death!"
"My daughter was kidnapped by those damn human traffickers, but thankfully Superman rescued her. Thank you, Superman!"
