Carl was convinced his last dying struggle had failed.

The setting sun is falling, just like his heavy heart at the moment... Alas, even if he knew the result, it is impossible to have even the slightest bit of relaxation in such a ruthless answer.

He knew that what he was about to meet next was the multiple blows from Lex. From now on, no, from a long time ago, the position between them has become almost absolutely hostile.

Carl.Al's identity is just a kind of lubrication in such a hostile state, allowing them to briefly have a world that is not disturbed by most of reason and acts entirely on emotion.

There is a high probability that this speech is the signal for Lex to start war on Superman.

Although Karl hoped that the war between them would end within a few minutes, but according to Lex's style of arrogance and caution, the absolute power gap would only make the opponent infinitely protracted.

What he is about to face is definitely not a blitzkrieg that can be resolved quickly, but a war of attrition that constantly devours energy and mind, and endures setbacks and blows.

At this time, he should feel infinite pain and sorrow, but probably because he has been waiting for such a clear declaration of war for too long, he actually felt a little relieved when he put down his phone.

No matter what, he will do his best to meet the challenge.

And get the answer he's been longing for.

When Diana came to look for Carl again, she was surprised to find that Carl's demeanor was completely different from when he just came to Xavier College. The child caught by the elders, his current state is like a soldier who is about to meet the army.

The spirit is a little high, the expression is a little excited, the eyes are strong and sad, every movement is very determined, but it is inevitable to show some hesitation.

The mighty Amazon sized Carl up for several minutes before she was convinced that she really felt that much from him.

She burst out laughing: "Carl, what's the matter with you? Charles and Eric won't do anything to you, they are just a little fierce in their mouths, and the movie you made is also very good, although the promotion is a bit too much, But...that's how Hollywood is, and they know it. Don't act like you're about to go to war."

"Life is a battlefield, Sister Daier." Carl sighed, "My battlefield is very heart-wrenching..."

Now Diana knew why Karl was depressed and sad.

Facing that aggrieved face, the female warrior rarely began to feel an emotion called being overwhelmed.

She didn't know what to say at a time like this. When she was with Steve, there was absolutely no problem between the two of them.

As a female warrior who has just left Paradise Island and has simple and straightforward understanding and feelings about the world, she has received Steve's utmost understanding; The female fighters feel humiliated and angry, almost stupid patriotism, female fighters also choose respect, silence and even support.

There are indeed many gaps between them, but love and understanding for each other allow them to overcome all difficulties... What about Carl and Lex?Diana didn't understand how they got along in private, but she knew the almost insurmountable gap between the two of them.

She also watched Lex's speech, and from those words full of pain and forcibly endured, she felt the hatred that coexisted with love.

In those young green eyes she sensed something that would suffocate a good man.

In a small villa in the countryside, Connor, who was left alone in his room, lay leisurely on the floor, fiddled with the jigsaw puzzle that he had roughly put together on the ground.

Does a Kryptonian hybrid in a sunny place need to be worried about his personal safety?Obviously not, but those who tried to cause physical harm to this little boy need to worry about their own safety.

After all, when he was in the laboratory, the amount of solar energy Connor received was strictly limited. Not only that, Lex would also conduct a series of experiments on him that were disguised as necessary physical examinations—the reason was easy to find, Kang Na is a boy who was born in the experimental cabin instead of the mother's womb. As the only successful experiment, his body has both strong and fragile characteristics. In order to ensure that he can grow up safely, the data about his body must be updated all the time. .

Connor believed Papa's words very much, this was the first person he saw after he came to this world, even though before he opened his eyes and saw Papa with his own eyes, with the help of common sense and knowledge instilled, Daddy's figure was already deep It was etched deeply into his subconscious mind.

superman.

The most powerful and perfect Superman.

Still half awake and half asleep in the experimental cabin, and before he really had his own will, Connor knew that his goal was Superman.

Beat him, kill him, smash him, claim his glory and cheer, take his place, and ultimately become something better than Superman.

To do these things, learning knowledge is essential.

...But, but... Connor really hates studying.

When he thinks of studying, he thinks of the fear of being surrounded by textbooks and various test questions.

The jigsaw puzzle that was thrown in front of him was almost finished, but the corners were uneven, the outermost circle was missing, and the middle part of the picture was also exposed due to the lack of a few necessary pieces. wooden floor.

The pattern of the jigsaw puzzle is a vast universe, with tiny stars blurred into the appearance of a gaseous cloud in the necessary places. Without the amazing vision of the Kryptonians, it is impossible to see that the gaseous body is actually perfectly described in the microscopic state. Out of a whole galaxy.

But this galaxy is very strange, so strange that Connor is convinced that such a starry sky does not exist in his memory bank.

Although he really hates studying, Connor also has a very strong thirst for knowledge. The universe depicted by this jigsaw puzzle makes him feel out of his mind, and he is not in the mood to do other things. He just wants to understand this piece as soon as possible. universe.

And in order to see the whole picture of the universe clearly, he needs to find every missing piece.

The distance on the earth is nothing to Carl, so no matter where he is, he will find time to come back to see Connor after a while.Taking advantage of his return, Connor hurriedly asked:

"Where are the rest of the puzzle pieces, daddy?"

"Ah, that." Carl recognized the toys he once loved very much with just a glance, and couldn't help showing a nostalgic expression, "I hid some in the villa, some in the cornfield, and some I might have given it to the cat..."

Carl was a little uncertain when he said the last sentence, so he just sat down, took the little Connor into his arms, started from his own cub's head hair, rubbed it all the way to his butt, then raised his hand, and started from his head hair to his buttocks. Down, over and over again, very addictive.

"Cat?" Connor nuzzled daddy's arms comfortably, "I haven't found a cat around here."

"I don't remember, I seem to have raised a black kitten when I was a child." Carl tried hard to search his memory, "It was a very small, very cute, very cute cat...but it was too fragile, My deepest impression is that I am always afraid of accidentally breaking her ear."

"Is that so?" Connor said in a daze, "Where did your cat go?"

He hasn't felt the joy of petting a cat yet, but he has felt the joy of being petted as a cat, and has no affection for creatures like cats.

"It was a wild cat." Carl was sure, "Although I can't remember the specifics, she must have come home."

"Then what about my puzzle?" Connor worried.

Carl laughed uncontrollably, and the laughter spread from his trembling chest to Connor's body. Connor squeezed into Carl's arms a little shyly and aggrievedly, and squeezed Carl's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"...you try to find the puzzle pieces you can find first, baby." Carl said, "When you are sure you can't find any other puzzle pieces, I will help you paint the missing pieces. come out."

He lowered his head and carelessly kissed the warm top of the little boy's head.

Then he thought it felt good to do so, and he bowed his head again, wanting to kiss again.

But Connor looked up just as Carl lowered his face, kicked in Carl's arms, stepped on Carl's knee, and slammed himself into Carl's jaw—

With superb comprehension, Carl realized that it was probably a kiss from Connor.

This was confirmed by Connor's flushed face after bumping him hard.

"Oh." Carl lovingly hugged Little Connor to his chest.

While feeling very moved, he thought sadly in his heart, with Connor's shy and irritable temper, will he really find someone in the future?

I'm afraid I can't just sit there and wait for others to tease me.

Fortunately, this kid is still good-looking, he thought, there shouldn't be a lot of people flirting with Connor?

And Connor, who just made an astonishing move (for himself), buried his red face on Carl's chest, his little heart was pounding with excitement.

If he knew what Karl was thinking right now, he might jump up and punch Karl in the face.

Carl didn't stay in the villa for too long and left in a hurry. Connor understood this very well. He knew how busy Superman was, and he didn't feel that Daddy didn't pay enough attention to him. Anyway, Papa was also very busy. Neither of his parents is someone who can pay attention to him 24 hours a day.

But they'd definitely spend all the time they could with him, and Connor knew it almost intuitively when he was young.

He returned to the jigsaw puzzle, seriously thinking about the next action, and Carl was also standing in Alexander's office at this time.

"Connor's education is still up to you." Carl sighed, "I'm not good at theoretical education, and I don't have much time for him."

"What?" said Alexander.

"Winter is coming," Carl replied, "The new presidential election is about to begin."
