Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 424 The troubles of young Kent are all caused by kryptonite

After Clark got out of the car, he seemed to be the focus, feeling the curious eyes of many students.

There are not many rich people in the small town. Although being a farmer in the United States can definitely be called a good life, it also depends on how much land you own.

For example, Mr. Luke Cavill, a well-known landowner in this town.

He has successively purchased several farms and ranches, totaling more than 5000 acres, occupying nearly one-third of the town's agricultural land.

The farm mainly grows soybeans, wheat and corn.

The ranch has more than 400 cows and [-] bulls, and also owns a company that sells and leases agricultural equipment.

To put it bluntly, most farmers in the town depend on Mr. Carville for their livelihood.

In contrast, the size of the Kent family's farm seems small.

Moreover, in relatively closed and backward towns, every household prefers off-road pickups with good loadability and large volume, and sports cars are not common.

"My God, Clark, do you have a private shuttle to school now? And it's such a cool Chevrolet!"

Clark, who was a bit shy, walked quickly into the school gate, and a girl with short blonde hair patted him on the shoulder and said exaggeratedly.

Her name is Chloe, a "reporter" in the school, obsessed with all kinds of small town ghost stories, and she is one of the few friends of "nerd" Clark.

"I missed the school bus. Luke was kind enough to give me a ride."

Clark explained seriously.

Mr. Cavill has always been a celebrity in town.

Although he doesn't appear often, he only comes back occasionally for a while on vacation.

However, due to frequent news headlines and sufficient exposure, it has long been a talking point for small town residents after dinner.

Of course, most of them focus on those lace scandals.

"Luke... Heh, when my dad sees him, he always calls Mr. Cavill."

Chloe curled her lips and stared at her friend, as if she wanted to find something out of it.

Her intuition told her that Clark's relationship with the young rich man looked unusual.

Not to mention, after linking them together, Chloe actually felt that the two of them had some similarities in appearance.

The same tough outline, perfect statue-like lines, tall and straight...

"I'm kind enough to give you a ride...then did he invite you to play in that super big luxury villa?"

Chloe continued to inquire.

Clark, who was holding a stack of books, nodded. The other party did invite him to have time to go over...go to the gym together?
"Then he must have ulterior motives! Otherwise, why would he be so enthusiastic about you, a nerd!"

Chloe snorted lightly. You must know that in movies and novels, the kind of young, wealthy, and handsome rich men are usually villains.

"How is that possible! I have something worthy of Luke's attempt?"

Clark shook his head, expressing his disbelief.

All the property of the Kent family may not be comparable to a fraction of the bank account of the other party.

The other party can't just look up to me, right?
Clark's thinking was also distorted, and he had strange associations.

"Hey, look, the goddess of your dreams."

Instead of continuing to entangle with Clark on this issue, Chloe bumped the former's arm and reminded him.

"Why don't you go over and say hello?"

Clark followed his gaze, and soon noticed a young girl full of youthfulness.

She has long brown hair and a good face, exuding a charming temperament.

She was the prettiest girl in the school, and she was also the goddess he never forgot.

Lana!

Almost subconsciously, Clark moved his steps towards the opponent like a robot.

Chloe, who was lagging behind, showed a smirk, as if expecting a good show to be staged soon.

"five four three two one!"

thump!
Clark, who looked tall and healthy, hadn't walked in front of Lana yet.

The whole person seemed to suddenly lose strength, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground.

The stack of books in his hand also spilled out.

The classmates who saw around laughed, making the fallen Clark feel ashamed.

There is no doubt that this is a very humiliating thing.

The future Superman is just a big boy with strong self-esteem at this time.

He didn't know what to do, let alone how to eliminate the embarrassment.

"Poor Clark."

Chloe let out a sympathetic laugh. According to her statistics, as long as Clark is near Lana, he will be like a baby who has not yet learned to walk.

Not to mention walking unsteadily and falling to the ground.

Sometimes, even severe cases of shortness of breath can occur.

She calls it "Crush Syndrome."

"Hey, are you all right, Clark?"

Someone picked up the fallen books and handed them to Clark who wanted to find a crack in the ground.

"Luke? How do you..."

Seeing an acquaintance, Clark temporarily forgot about the embarrassing situation and showed a surprised expression.

"At the ribbon-cutting donation for the library, I just told you, forgot?"

Luke smiled lightly, and behind him stood the principal, the dean of teaching and other figures.

The powerful aura emanating from it made those students who watched the joke retreat automatically.

A swarm of people will instantly scatter like birds and beasts.

"My mind is a little... confused, sorry."

Clark patted the dust on his body, and as Lana left, the feeling of weakness that filled his whole body seemed to disappear.

"A pretty girl, are you interested in her?"

Taking the opportunity of returning the book, Luke approached and said.

His face was a little strange, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Who is not good for Superman, he has to like the girl wearing a kryptonite necklace.

That's right, this is why Clark suffers from "Secret Love Syndrome".

The girl named Lana Lan had a meteorite necklace carved from kryptonite hanging around her neck.

If these two people were really together in the future, Clark's third leg might weaken, let alone his legs.

"No, no."

Clark shook his head again and again, as if he had been caught by his parents after peeking at some kind of inappropriate magazine for children, an inexplicable sense of shame spread throughout his body.

Teenagers in the crush period are like this, always unwilling to admit that they like someone, and think that no one knows the secret.

It's a pity that he is really not good at lying, his flushed face and dodging eyes make it easy for people to get the answer.

"Clark, when I was your age, I was easy on any young girl."

Luke put on his sunglasses, patted his little cousin on the shoulder, and said inscrutablely, "Do you know why?"

Clark shook his head. He has zero love experience, and he has never even touched a girl's hand. How could he know the secret of it.

"It's not just because I'm funny and good-looking, it's mainly because I switch from the garage to driving a sports car to school every day."

Clark: "..."

He said he had nothing to say.

I'm still at the age where I have to take the school bus to school!

"No kidding, see you later, Clark."

Luke put away his interest in molesting his little cousin, and then, surrounded by a group of school leaders, walked into the school auditorium.

The future Superman is still troubled by his unrequited love.

But it won't be long before he should be able to learn from his adoptive father Jonathan that he is an alien visitor.

When the time comes, it will be Krypton's cousin's turn to make his debut.

"Kryptonite necklace..."

Luke thought of Lana, Clark's crush, and the necklace she was wearing.

On the day the Kryptonian spacecraft crashed, it also brought a disastrous meteorite rain to the town.

In fact, it was a rain of kryptonite.

Kryptonite shards are left all over the town.

That thing is not only deadly to Superman, but also harmful to ordinary people.

Long-term exposure can lead to radiation poisoning, cancer, and even mutations in normal people.

It sounds like in The Flash, because of the big explosion of the particle accelerator, superpowers appear one after another.

As Superman, Clarke would soon enter the primary stages of superheroism.

"Come on, little cousin."

Luke groaned.

He is not interested in fighting criminals, the purpose is to train Clark and collect kryptonite of various colors by the way.
