Gotham Dark Godfather

Chapter 373 Superman’s Debt Troubles! (Thanks to @吃大白菜 for tipping this book)

Just when Gotham's underworld was in chaos, Kansas, thousands of miles away, was still in peace, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with it.The acres of cornfields looked a little listless under the scorching sun. Roaring machinery was busy in the fields. Grain brokers' cars kept shuttling through every corner here, bargaining with farmers for every grain of grain.

Everything seemed so orderly, except for a certain family...

"Such a big thing happened at Mom's house, why didn't you tell me earlier..." Clark Kent didn't look like a superman at all now, but instead acted like an ordinary farm boy, complaining coquettishly: "The farm is in deficit. It’s so serious, and I still owe a foreign debt of 35 US dollars. If this money cannot be repaid on time, I’m afraid..."

The last few words, even a superhero like Superman, who was fearless, could only open his mouth, but did not pronounce those words for a long time, which shows how huge the impact on him was.

Instead, his adoptive mother Martha Kent spoke out.

"I'm afraid our farm will be confiscated and debt repaid by then. Somehow this year, the dry season has continued until now. There has been no rain for three whole months. In order to maintain the watering of corn, I had to purchase new equipment. By the way, I also dug a deep well. I guarantee that this year’s harvest will not be too affected..."

Hearing this, Superman Clark couldn't help but interjected:

"You should have told me if it wasn't raining. Otherwise, there might be an iceberg from the Arctic Ocean standing in your water tank by now. It is guaranteed that by next summer, the crops in the field will be able to enjoy the coolness from the polar region." .”

"What nonsense are you talking about, Clark?" Martha Kent corrected angrily: "We are all God's people. Because of His love, you have such a powerful power, which should be used to help more people. But if you use these powers for personal gain, it will be a blasphemy against your power."

Seeing his mother's serious look, Superman Clark smiled good-naturedly and said nothing.Devotion to God makes the Kent family live a standard Puritan lifestyle, and it also makes Superman grow up in a simple and honest direction since he was a child, completely different from a guy who wants to conspire in a drunken and wealthy city.

"The worst thing is that although the harvest has been saved, the corn market this year is really bad. They are only willing to pay $2.80 per bushel, which is far lower than the price in the past." Martha Kent said sadly about her savings: "This means "Look, the corn sold this year may not be able to repay the debt owed before..."

Superman Clark frowned when he heard this. The market dropped. This was a trouble that no one had expected.Countless farmers go bankrupt every year because of this problem. Now that his family has encountered such a problem, it really makes him very sad.

"In terms of funds, I recently took on a big job, and I can spend [-] to [-] U.S. dollars... plus my previous savings, it won't be a problem to make up [-] U.S. dollars." Superman Clark said thoughtfully: "Including selling. All the corn income should be able to repay most of the debt, but new problems will arise in the purchase of seeds, fertilizers and other expenses required after next spring..."

Martha Kent was shocked when she heard the amount of money that Clark could offer. She didn't care about the crisis on her farm and said subconsciously: "God, how come you have so much money? Is your iron-rooster boss finally willing to give it to you?" Got a raise”

Superman Clark smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.His salary at Daily Planet is far from as high as expected, and it can even be said that it is difficult to live in a big city.After all, he is neither the editor-in-chief nor has a column in the newspaper. He is more like a little follower around Louis.So the salary can be imagined.

"That's not true. I was recently transferred to Gotham to help host the news program for the TV station there. My salary is much higher than before. Therefore, I have saved a lot of money, which I can use today to support my family." Superman Clark Said naively.

"Well, is Gotham the place where there are monsters and bats?" Martha Kent said thoughtfully after hearing the place name: "Speaking of which, salesmen have been coming to my door recently, claiming to be from Gotham Commercial Bank. I hope I can Apply for their bank's newly launched agricultural low-interest loan... Well, to be honest, the interest rate is too low, it's the lowest I've ever seen. I immediately suspected it was a scammer, so I never agreed to it. .....”

However, when Superman Clark heard about Gotham Commercial Bank, he was secretly surprised, and his super brain quickly filtered the information collected on the Internet.To others, Gotham Commercial Bank is just an inconspicuous private financial institution.But long before coming to ABC Broadcasting Company, Superman Clark had investigated Zhou Hao's life experience in detail.

Like almost everyone in Gotham, there is something unclear about this guy, and he also has dark secrets that go against the laws of the world.However, considering that Zhou Hao left a good impression on Clark when he was in South America, even though he knew Zhou Hao's problem, Superman still followed his goddess to Gotham, the city of sin.

Gotham Commercial Bank is the secret base used by Zhou Hao to manage his own funds.Superman Clark did not expect that Zhou Hao would actually extend the tentacles of his power to Kansas.

"They first said that my family's credit was good, and they could provide an ultra-low-interest loan of US$15 without collateral, and also allow installment repayment, and also provide grain price insurance, natural disaster insurance services, etc... I planted it. I have never seen such generous treatment in my whole life..." Martha Kent said to herself: "No one would do such a thing except a liar or a fool, so everyone in the town is very worried about this bank. If you don’t catch a cold, no one will want to borrow money from them..."

At this point, Superman Clark rarely interrupted his mother's nagging and said with a smile:

"Oh, actually, don't worry so much. This bank may indeed be crazy, but you can completely accept these businesses. There will be no risks or conspiracy." Clark Kent said with a smile: "After all, I am the boss of this bank. We know each other, and we eat together almost every day. If there are really any problems or problems, then I can go directly to his office and have a good talk with him."

Martha Kent looked at her son in surprise. She didn't expect him to be so reassured about this bank from Gotham. Maybe it was just like her son said, the boss behind this bank was really familiar with him...
