Chapter 116 Use Kryptonite on Me!
"I think you should explain it to me, John."
After returning from the station, Peter decided to talk to Zu.
"This morning, when I was driving Bruce to the station, I saw Evelyn Blake."
Evelyn Blake is a neighbor nearby, and she often has a cigarette between her fingers.
Peter looked at Zu, who was a little nervous, and said in a leisurely tone:
"I saw her smoking in the eight-acre yard with high fences and pink creepers, and you were there, I guess, John, she was inviting you to smoke, right?"
For Zu, a naughty child who might be addicted to smoking at such a young age, he felt that he should nip it in the bud.
"No, Dad, I didn't smoke."
Zu quickly denied it.
He knew that if he admitted to smoking, he would definitely be whipped by his father.
"Ms. Black just asked me if I wanted one?"
Peter frowned, "Really? What did she say?"
"She said that if she didn't pass the cigarette to me, she would violate the smoker's code established by Mr. 1 von Smockington and his wife Esmeralda Canserface, who declared that smokers should share cigarettes like friendly little monkeys when smoking."
Azu described the scene at that time, "Then she passed the cigarette to me, but I didn't want it."
"Dad, I won't touch drugs and smoking."
Azu vowed, "I won't become the kind of person who is easily addicted."
"Don't you like milk?"
Star-Lord next to him added.
"No! How can cigarettes be the same as milk."
Azu glared at Star-Lord and immediately felt that this guy was extremely annoying.
It's almost as annoying as Bruce Wayne.
But Bruce has traveled around the world, why doesn't Star-Lord go to outer space? !
"Anyway, you can't smoke at your age."
Peter warned the two, "If I find out, I will cancel all your pocket money and send you to the mutual aid group."
The serious consequences Peter said made the two shudder.
"Of course, Dad, I won't."
Azu immediately expressed his loyalty.
"I think, Dad, you should pay more attention to Star-Lord's addiction problem."
He took the opportunity to turn the topic to Star-Lord.
"Star-Lord ate a super-large sandwich spread before you came over. He tore open the bag of pretzels, put the pretzels in the sandwich spread, and ate it like this."
Azu said to Peter in a seemingly sincere tone: "Dad, I think you should supervise him and not let Star-Lord eat these things that will make the body fat."
Before he could say anything, Star-Lord next to him immediately became angry and said, "This is my hobby!"
Seeing that Azu was so unethical, Star-Lord also informed Peter: "Dad, Azu secretly went to squeeze milk to drink when you were away yesterday."
Azu immediately defended : "I just want to do farm work to earn pocket money!"
"These are not included in the work that Dad said can earn pocket money. Admit it, John, you just like to drink milk, and the fresher the better."
Attacked by Star-Lord, A-Zu puffed up his cheeks and took a deep breath, "Okay, I admit that I did it, but look at what you did. You took ten dollars, I don't know if you stole Dad's money and went to South Street to find someone to help you tell your fortune."
Seeing that A-Zu also told what he had done secretly, Star-Lord immediately looked at Peter, whose face was getting worse and worse, with a guilty conscience.
Take a deep breath. Since the other party wanted to tell his secret in front of his father, Star-Lord felt that he could no longer endure it.
"Then there is a magazine under your bed with many movie actresses on it, and each of them is very sexy."
Hearing Star-Lord reveal the biggest secret under his bed, A-Zu's heart "slipped" and he quickly explained to Peter:
"No! I don't know what it is. I have never had such a magazine. Dad, Star-Lord must have hidden it secretly. He likes this kind of thing!"
A-Zu immediately showed an innocent look and continued in a hurried tone: "Or Clark did it? You know he bought a lot of things at Eddie's low-price store when he had a seizure last time."
Peter looked at him unkindly, "You mean, Clark secretly hid the book under your bed?"
"Yes, yes."
"But aren't you in a cold war with Clark?"
"I"
A-Zu was immediately speechless.
Five minutes later.
Peter stood in A-Zu's room, looking at the magazine in his hand.
The magazine didn't have too much explicit content. Although it was not 18 plus, looking at the mature female stars in sexy clothes on it, it was not a magazine that A-Zu's age could have.
Peter frowned. He remembered that this boy liked mature women in his previous life. Now it seems that he still has this hobby.
"I think. John, you'd better explain it to me."
Peter put away the magazine and said to him with a serious expression.
"I"
Looking at Peter's serious face, A Zu knew that he couldn't fool around. He said with a bitter face: "I stole it from Whitney."
"You stole his things?"
"He often stole other students' things. I wanted to take it back and give it back to that classmate, but I just didn't have time"
"Hmm?!"
Peter stared at him with an expression that said, "You keep making this up, I'm listening."
Exhaling a breath, Azu looked around helplessly.
He knew that he was probably going to get beaten.
In the evening, Azu and Star-Lord were moving things on the farm.
Both of their buttocks were struck several times by Peter to varying degrees.
After informing each other, the two of them now dislike each other.
While moving the crops, Azu was thinking about how to take revenge on Star-Lord when Clark walked into the farm.
"Well, we claim that Clark, who will inherit Padrick's farm, is here."
Azu was unhappy about what happened today and immediately mocked Clark when he saw him coming in.
"Sorry, John, I apologize to you, I wasn't who I was at that time."
Clark's expression was stagnant, and he apologized to Azu because of the red kryptonite.
"You don't have to apologize, Clark, because."
Azu put down the crops in his hands, walked to Clark and said to him: "Because that is what you really think deep in your heart."
"You say you don't care about anything, but in fact you care more than anyone else."
Azu shrugged towards Clark, "But whatever, we are not friends now."
night.
Clark had dinner at the farm, but due to the conflict between the three naughty children, they did not speak to each other, resulting in a relatively deserted atmosphere at the dinner table.
After dinner, Azu and Star-Lord went upstairs, and Peter stopped Clark.
"Clark, are you worried?"
Clark nodded and said dejectedly: "Maybe it's because what I said before hurt John, so he is ignoring me now."
"He actually knows that's not really you, Clark."
Peter comforted Clark: "It's just that John needs some time to forget these unpleasant things."
"John isn't angry with me anymore?"
"Of course, as a father I know him."
Peter patted Clark on the shoulder, "Time will dissolve all emotions, Clark."
"real?"
Clark asked, blinking.
"Of course it's true."
"that."
After listening to Peter's explanation, Clark felt better. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask Peter:
"Godfather, when I wore red kryptonite, I awakened the same ability as Azu. Will I be able to fly like Azu in the future?"
Peter moved his eyebrows and asked him, "You mean heat vision?"
"Yes, heat vision. I don't know why I suddenly had this ability. It seemed to appear naturally."
Clark said confusedly: "Dad said that I came to the earth with a certain mission. Now this ability seems to be gradually awakening. Godfather, I even often dream at night, dreaming that a person is calling me. He calls me 'Karl' '."
Clark didn't know what this meant to him.
Peter frowned slightly as he listened to Clark's story.
Is Clark awakening to his Kryptonian heritage?
That spaceship, hidden under the Kent family barn, that brought Clark to Earth, is gradually affecting and awakening Clark's bloodline?
"Godfather, what do you mean Carl? Is he really my name?"
Clark asked Peter confused.
"In some ancient texts, Karl means 'star'."
Peter thought for a moment and explained to him.
"Stars?"
Clark repeated the word, "Star, you mean I'm a star? But I'm not a star, I'm just an ordinary boy from a farm in Kansas, and I'm not interested in stars."
Clark spoke his inner thoughts.
He looked towards the dark night outside, "I used to be interested in the outside world, but now it seems too strange to me. Danger like red kryptonite will be everywhere in this world, right? "
As he said that, he cast his gaze towards Peter, "I'm afraid of hurting you, Godfather. If I have to shoulder something, and the price is hurting you, I would rather not have this mission."
Staring at Clark's confused yet firm eyes, Peter was vaguely touched in his heart.
He touched Clark's head and said, "No, it won't happen. Clark, you don't have to shoulder anything now."
"What if my ability really hurts you in the future? I'm afraid of that happening."
Clark took a deep breath and said to Peter: "Godfather, next time if I hurt you like red kryptonite this time, use kryptonite on me!"
"Even if I die, I don't want this to happen."
