Black-robed Superman

Chapter 299 Clark: I seem to be living in the shadow of Jupiter
on the farm.

"Clark! Don't forget about today's work!"

An uncle with slightly pale hair was staring at a young and strong young man, constantly harvesting golden wheat all over the ground. A state-of-the-art harvester was parked beside the uncle and the young man. The middle-aged man has no intention of using it at all.

"Father, I don't understand. Why can't I be a hero who can save the world like my brother, but squat in the countryside and harvest wheat here with a broken sickle?"

After hearing the uncle's words, the young man's face was a little unsightly, as if he was rebellious, he threw away the sickle in his hand, and questioned his father.

"Because your brother is ready, but you are not!"

The middle-aged man answered the young man's question without changing his face, to be precise, it was a teenager's question.

"Ready? I'm ready. Now I just need to get my brother to give me a battle uniform. I can immediately fly into the sky like him. No, maybe I can fly faster than him!"

The rebellious young man looked up at the sky, his eyes full of longing, he longed to fly out of here, out of this farm, his world should be like his brother, in the endless sky.

"Ready? Hehe..."

After hearing what the rebellious young man said, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed.

"Are you really ready?"

"Why didn't I see your so-called preparation?"

"If what you mean by preparation is throwing the scythe aside and not farming, then ok, you're already doing it, and you're the best in the world for that, my boy!"

"But please understand first, a hero will never drop the weapon in his hand, at least your brother won't do that."

The middle-aged man looked at the rebellious youth and spoke in a deep voice.

"Hmm..." The rebellious young man looked at the scythe on the ground after hearing the words. He hesitated, finally picked it up, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and apologized, "I'm sorry, father, please don't put the sickle on the ground. Tell your brother what happened today, okay?"

"Can……"

"But child, you have to remember that what you need is to calm down, not to be afraid of anything. I hope that one day you will be sincere and not throw away the sickle in your hand, not because you are afraid that your brother will hear you. There's a big difference between picking up the scythe you threw on the ground and picking up the scythe you threw on the ground, and you have to figure it out for yourself."

The middle-aged man continued to teach his children.

"I see, father."

Although the rebellious young man was a little rebellious, he was smart, smarter than everyone else in this world, so he could understand that what the middle-aged man said was right.

"Very well, go ahead and slowly feel the most primitive feeling of the touch of the sickle and the wheat with your heart."

The middle-aged man turned around while speaking.

"Father, I'm done cutting!"

It was also the moment when the middle-aged man turned around, he heard the voice of a rebellious young man behind him.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned around and saw pieces of wheat that had been neatly cut. Not only that, the wheat had been tied up with ropes and arranged neatly.

"Clark!"

The middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him and frowned. He knew that his son couldn't hold back and used superpowers.

"hey-hey……"

The rebellious youth, that is, Clark Kent, the middle-aged man's son, smiled. He really didn't want to waste too much time on harvesting wheat.

"Alas..." The middle-aged man looked at the chuckling Clark and sighed helplessly, and then said: "Clark, your brother called me again yesterday to urge me, originally I still wanted to stay in this field Yes, but now it seems that I need to change myself, you get ready to go to the metropolis with me and your mother!"

"Great, can we finally get out of here?"

Clark Kent looked excited. He had always felt that he didn't fit in here, and it was finally time to leave. It was great.

"Yeah! Great, your brother found you an Ivy League university. After you study in the university, the principal of that university and your brother will recommend you to MIT, Trinity College, Cambridge University, Wait for these top universities to help you further your studies.”

The middle-aged man knows his son so well, Clark must have thought that he would not have to go to school, could start a company and be a hero like his legendary brother, but unfortunately he would not, so he smiled half-smile watching his son preach.

"What? Still going to school?"

Clark's face changed, he was almost fed up with school days, it was really boring.

"In short, even if the world is ready and a new, equally great hero appears, it is a pity that our hero is not ready, so it will take time, and there is no rush."

The middle-aged man continued to preach.

"Okay, okay, I get it, Dad!"

Clark looked aggrieved, but he was powerless to resist.

The middle-aged man smiled, pushed open the door of the house, and walked in.

"Jonathan..."

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a beautiful lady preparing dinner for him and his son.

"Martha, your craftsmanship is amazing again!"

Looking at the delicious dishes made by his wife, Jonathan laughed.

"Has the wheat harvest been finished?"

Martha looked at her husband and son and asked.

"Well, I will hand over this farm to other people to manage it later."

Jonathan nodded and spoke to Martha.

"what do you mean?"

Martha was taken aback, then asked.

"Hasn't Jupiter been urging us to live in the Metropolis? I think it's time to leave."

Jonathan looked at Martha and explained.

"Oh my God, our family is finally reunited."

Martha had tears in her eyes, and she had forgotten how long it had been since she had seen her dear eldest son Jupiter.

"Yeah, it's time to reunite. By the way, should we prepare a new outfit or something? You know, when we go to that kind of big city, we must dress up well, so as not to embarrass our dear son."

Jonathan frowned, thinking.

"Oh, I think we should ask our son."

Martha nodded, said, and made a direct call.

"Drip drip..."

"Hey?"

With a series of ringing tones, the phone was connected.

"Jupiter?"

Martha asked tentatively.

"Mother?"

A questioning voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Jupiter is like this. I discussed with your father and decided to take Clark to the metropolis to find you. Is there anything I need to prepare?"

asked Martha.

"Great, I told you a long time ago that you should live in the Metropolis!"

"You don't need to prepare anything. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"By the way, as for the farm, I will arrange for someone to take care of it. You told my father about this so that he can rest assured that my subordinates are definitely more energetic than a middle-aged man in his 50s and can do better. Take care of the farm."

Jupiter was slightly sarcastic.

"Ha ha……"

Martha smiled after hearing this, glanced at Jonathan who was standing beside him, and said nothing.

"I can hear you, and I'm not old! Also, your people may not be able to protect my farm better than me, I..."

Jonathan was a little dissatisfied.

"I know, I know, I have something to do later, so see you tomorrow!"

Jupiter said, and hung up the phone.

It seemed that Jupiter didn't intend to give Jonathan a chance to say something, or in other words, Jupiter was afraid that Jonathan would change his mind suddenly, so he didn't go again.

"Ugh……"

Listening to the hang up sound from the phone, Jonathan sighed. His eldest son, like a god, has been so different since he was a child. Everything can be perfect. To be honest, they have nothing at all. The sense of accomplishment is that Jupiter gave Jonathan a sense that even if Jupiter doesn't have a father, he can still live a good life.

As for Clark, although Clark is not so perfect, Jonathan has a sense of accomplishment in helping the child grow up. Probably this is the sense of accomplishment of being a father!
"Speak to your brother, he said he will send someone to pick us up tomorrow!"

Jonathan turned to look at Clark who was stealing, and said.

"Um?!"

Clark didn't expect that Jonathan would suddenly turn around, stuff the whole fish into his mouth in one breath, and swallow it.

"Ugh……"

Jonathan suddenly sighed again, his two children are completely two extremes.

late at night……

Clark lay in his room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He once thought of becoming a hero, flying in the sky, protecting everything in this world, it seems that this is his destiny, his duty, and in the faint, he seems to be able to hear a voice guiding him do it.

but……

From childhood to adulthood, whether he was bullied or others were bullied, the person who protected them was always his big brother Jupiter, a man with the same name as the god-king of ancient Rome, strong, kind, and perfect. like humans.

While he was still thinking about which high school to go to, his brother was already flying in the skies of the world in a tight suit to keep the world safe.

Sometimes, Clark would think, he always felt as if he was living in Jupiter's shadow, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Jupiter's shadow, which troubled Clark very much.

"I'm going to the metropolis tomorrow, what kind of city is that?"

"Can I get my brother's approval and work with him to protect the safety of all living beings in this world?"

Clark thought, and he also thought that one day he could wear a battle suit and fly in the sky.

The next day, when the sunlight shined on Clark's face through the glass, he slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't remember when he fell asleep, but he did sleep soundly that night .

"Ah~"

Clark stretched and went downstairs.I saw seven or eight men in black walking around in their house, seeming to be talking about something.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

Clark looked at the people who were carrying things, looking unhappy.

"Clark, are you awake? We're about to move!"

Just as Clark was looking upset, Martha, who was holding a potted plant, saw her child and laughed aloud.

"These are my brother's people? Are they here so early?"

After listening to Martha's words, Clark noticed the logos on the clothes of the group of people in front of him. The words of the Kent Group were all printed on the bodies of these people in black.

"We are Mr. Jupiter's men, and he ordered us to come and move the furniture!"

"Then we will escort you to the private airport of our Kent Group and leave by private plane."

After hearing Clark's words, the leading man in black explained to Clark with a smile on his face.

"Oh, well, thanks!"

Only then did Clark realize that he had misunderstood, and thanked the people in black.

"Hahaha……"

"There is no need to do this at all, this is what we should do!"

The man in black shook his head and smiled at Clark.

"Private airport, private jet! It seems that my brother's property is much bigger than I imagined!"

At this moment, Clark is still in shock. He has been staying in the country, and he still doesn't know the scale of Jupiter's company.

On the other side, above the tall buildings.

Jupiter, in tights, stands on the roof of the Kent Building, overlooking the entire city.

This is his city, Metropolis!

People in this city regard him as the true God!

And people in other cities, those powerful people, secretly called Jupiter the mayor of the metropolis.

"Jupiter, you are here~"

Just as Jupiter was overlooking the city, a numb female voice sounded behind him, and a tall woman walked towards him with catwalks.

“I am admiring this city~”

Jupiter turned around, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I still remember that five years ago, when you were a little pudding, you came to this city alone, and you came to us and said that the world needs a hero, and you are that hero, we all thought you You were a trickster who played tricks on us, but after five years, you really became a hero in this world~"

The woman smiled slightly at Jupiter. She still remembered how the arrogant brat made the entire board of directors laugh after saying this sentence. She also remembered that when the members of the board of directors were laughing, That arrogant brat slowly floated up from the ground, and the entire board of directors fell silent for a moment.

"That's because the world needs me!"

"It's not that I need the world, but the world needs me!"

With his hands behind his back, Jupiter continued to look down at the city below him, but it won't be long before his stupid brother Clark is taken to the metropolis, so he can start preparing for the next move.

"We need more heroes."

After Jupiter finished speaking, his figure disappeared before the woman's eyes.

"I know~ Mr. Jupiter~"

The woman smiled slightly as she looked at the suddenly opened office door and the documents that had been blown away by the strong wind.
