Marvel: Son of Tomorrow
Chapter 4 The aircraft was discovered?
After leaving Clark's room, Ben came to the living room, where May had been waiting for a long time. From the troubled expression on her face, it was not difficult to tell that she, like May, was worried about Clark's future.
When she saw Ben coming down, she immediately walked forward, thought for a moment and said.
"Ben, I think I can try to compete for a community representative. What do you think?"
There was a hint of surprise in Ben's eyes. It turned out that his wife had the same idea as him.
"Mei, we have the same idea. I still have my old biology books. I think I can try to start a business."
The two looked at each other and knew that the other person was thinking the same thing as they were thinking. How could their child be so wronged as to hide his talent?
Just as the two were hugging each other because of their telepathic connection, Ben's phone suddenly rang.
The person who contacted him was the owner of the container he leased at the New York port. The lease contract had expired and he naturally wanted to renew it, but he had not signed the contract yet. The call at this time gave him a bad feeling.
"Parker shows up. I'm sorry to tell you that the contract with you may not be able to proceed smoothly. The reason is very simple. Someone has offered a higher price than you and is willing to rent my container. We have reached a consensus."
Sure enough, an accident happened. The container Benjamin used to store the aircraft was to be rented to someone else. This was arguably the worst possible situation.
If other people, such as the government, knew that Clark was likely an alien, they would have countless ways to deprive them of their custody of Clark and take Clark and the aircraft away for research.
"Please wait, I'll be there soon. Before I come, please don't open the container, it contains my privacy."
Ben turned on the speakerphone when he answered the phone. Mei also heard what was said on the other end and her eyes were extremely anxious.
"Mei, try to contact other private warehouses and delivery trucks here. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, but that thing must not be seen by outsiders. I'll be there now."
"I know. Go ahead and go."
Ben immediately drove to the port. He was very conflicted along the way because he knew very well that Clark was just showing his superhuman talent, so it was no big deal. These things could be disguised, but if the aircraft in the container, which was completely beyond human technology, was discovered, then it was very likely that his current good life would say goodbye to him.
On the way, Ben also called his brother Richard, wanting to ask Richard if he had any good ideas. He knew his situation. In terms of ability, he was definitely excellent, but he had been ordinary for so long, and ability alone could not allow him to handle all the things.
But at this time, Richard's phone could not be reached. He looked at the time and it was just past dinner time. Although Richard was a researcher at the Austen Group, he could not miss his home for dinner twice.
"I hope nothing has happened."
Ben's hands tightened slightly while holding the steering wheel. Although he didn't think he was exposed in any way, what if? What if the aircraft really attracted the attention of some forces and Richard was affected?
Ben had to think about these serious aspects.
With such bad thoughts in mind, Ben finally arrived at the port. After parking the car on the side of the road, he ran all the way to the location of the container.
The person who rented the container could no longer be reached on the phone, and Richard couldn't be contacted either. So Ben called Mei and asked about the warehouse and the truck.
And it was at this moment that Ben rushed to the vicinity of the container. Looking at the person in front of him, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"Ben..what happened? Ben? I've found a suitable warehouse, but none of the truck drivers are willing to work overtime, even if I offer double the wages."
Listening to his wife's voice on the phone, Ben slowly raised his hand and placed his fingers next to his ears.
"Mei, it's okay, prepare dinner, we'll have guests coming tonight, we'll be back soon."
Having said that, Ben hung up the phone and looked at the person in front who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"My dear brother, you really frightened me."
Ben showed a bitter smile on his face. The person who rented the container at a higher price was none other than Richard, who had been unable to be contacted.
"Ben, you have learned to hide such important things from me."
Richard walked up and gave Ben a passionate hug, but the two brothers were obviously a little upset, and they used all their strength in the hug, so much so that their faces turned red after the hug.
"What did you tell me when I asked you? Clark was just an abandoned baby you found on the roadside when you were traveling on the farm? Then what is this?"
Richard pointed to the container nearby. He gave Ben enough respect and investigated to this point, but still did not open the container without permission.
"If Clark's behavior wasn't so different from normal people, and if I didn't love you and Clark, so I investigated it in my own way, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"
Ben smiled bitterly. He was indeed not kind enough. He was only concerned with protecting Clark but forgot about Richard. His brother was definitely someone he could trust.
"I'm sorry, Richard. I'll explain this to you."
As he spoke, Ben took out the key to the container, opened the door, and revealed the aircraft inside in front of Richard's shocked eyes.
"Clark is indeed an abandoned baby, but he was not abandoned on the roadside. Instead, he was an alien who fell from the sky and landed in front of us right in front of Mei and me."
-----------------
At home in Queens, Richard sat on the sofa, rubbing his brow with his fingers.
"So, Clark's behavior is even more exaggerated than what I know so far? Sister-in-law, you restrained Clark's behavior a little when you were chatting with Mary, right?"
Mei also smiled embarrassedly. After all, Ben did not tell Richard everything at the first time, so she naturally hid some details in her conversation with Mary.
"But there is one thing I agree with very much."
Richard, who was originally in distress, suddenly changed the subject.
"That's the change you two have made. My brother and sister-in-law have never been ordinary people. While letting Clark curb his talents, it is absolutely right for you to become his solid backing."
Working at the Austen Group and having met many powerful people, Richard has a deep understanding of this world.
If a genius is born in a royal family, he will become a saint, but if he is born in a slum, a saint will become a madman.
"Since you are willing to change, why not add me as one!"
