I almost ruled the world

Clark sat in front of Editor-in-Chief Perry, but his gaze was still on Brianna's neck.

He looked serious and frowned.

Brianna nervously pulled up the green scarf around her neck, trying to hide it from him.

It's just that it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"Clark!" Sensing Clark's absent-mindedness, Perry patted the table vigorously, "What's going on here?"

"Uncle, I think you misunderstood." Brianna immediately explained for Clark.

Perry, who was called 'Uncle', choked, "Then, what did I misunderstand?"

Brianna explained seriously, "Clark is really a good person, but it's actually because he and his mother Martha took care of me as an orphan as a foster family, so things are not what you think."

"Um." Perry didn't expect the girl in front of him to be an orphan. He quickly glanced at her with sympathy, but soon realized that something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, Clark. How do I remember you living in Metropolis by yourself and your mother in Kansas?"

Clark looked back at Brianna, and turned to editor-in-chief Perry, "Yes."

"So you are indeed living with this underage girl... alone?" Perry asked.

Clark was silent for a moment, but quickly replied with a clear conscience, "Yes."

"I don't think this girl is an adult yet?" Perry took a deep breath with complicated emotions, and then turned his head to ask Brianna.

She glanced at Clark quietly, only seeing his tall and straight profile.

Brianna swallowed subconsciously, and said slightly vaguely, "I just passed my 17th birthday a few days ago."

"Clark, although I still believe in your character, but... I don't think this is appropriate. I don't quite understand the reason why you brought this girl to the metropolis. Why didn't you leave her with your mother in Kansas? Woolen cloth?"

Hearing this question, Brianna lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. This is indeed the key to the whole thing.

Because she has to stay in Metropolitan New York to be watched by superheroes, who makes Kansas a simple town with no villains, and of course there are no superheroes.

But this fact cannot be explained to Perry, who is an ordinary person.

"Well, because..." Seeing that Clark didn't mean to make an excuse, Brianna explained for him openly, "Because the schools in New York are better, I think Clark brought me here because he hoped that I would receive a better education here." educate."

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but Perry frowned strangely and looked at him after she did.

A bachelor living with an underage girl, no matter how you think about it, it is very hard, right?

It's just a child in foster care, is it necessary to do this?

At this time, Clark, who was watched by Brianna and Perry at the same time, obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He didn't want to lie because of it, and chose to give his own guarantee, "Perry, I won't bring scandal to the newspaper."

Perry's mood was a little complicated for a while.

Clark may still be firm now, but Perry thinks it's really hard to say that a man and a widow live together for a long time.

Especially this girl is still a year away from adulthood, and she is also very beautiful... He has been in the news for so many years, and Perry really feels that human nature is the most untestable thing.

But after all, this is the employee's private matter and his freedom, not to mention that the existence of foster families is to help the country share the difficulties of taking care of orphans.

Clark is still essentially doing good.

On the legal level, if nothing happened, then Clark would be legal to do so.

Thinking of this, Perry sighed and waved towards him.

"Then I will trust you for now."

As he was speaking, he looked through the transparent glass at the other employees who were peeping outside the office. Noticing the sight they saw last time, most of them quickly lowered their heads and pretended that they were working hard.

Except, Louise Lane, who had just returned from the Middle East, was looking at the room with her arms crossed and her face somber.

"I believe that everyone will always supervise you not to go astray."

Walking out of the editor-in-chief Perry's office, Clark led Brianna out of the editorial office of the Daily Planet without anyone else.

When Brianna left, she looked around the employees without any trace, to see if there was any suspicious girl.

She still remembered the dream catcher Clark gave her last time.

There must be a woman who gave him advice, otherwise how could he have thought of sending this.

As soon as thoughts drifted through her mind, Brianna's eyes met a heroic professional woman, and her gaze moved from Brianna to Clark.

For a while, it was not clear whether this kind of gaze was caused by being deceived by a scumbag, or because of other reasons?

Anyway, Brianna jotted down the lady in her notebook first.

Be careful.

When the two walked into the empty elevator and finally cut off everyone's eyes, Brianna seized the opportunity and said cautiously, "Sorry, Clark. I didn't expect you to be misunderstood by so many people..."

Clark didn't respond to her, but looked at her neck again.

He said abruptly, "You should have called me by my name."

On the other hand, Brianna acted as if her secret had been exposed suddenly, covering her neck in panic, "You, you found out?"

The elevator descends slowly to the 12th floor.

Clark didn't answer her question, "Is it the same person?"

"..." Brianna was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to trouble you all the time."

"You've worked so hard, I can really handle it."

The elevator comes to the 9th floor.

Clark closed his eyes and sighed softly, "I will take half a day off tomorrow morning to go to your school to solve this matter."

Brianna looked at him in surprise, her black eyes were wet, as if she didn't expect the man in front of her to do this.

The elevator came to the 4th floor, "But——"

"Or, do you want me to appear as Superman?"

"You don't need to do this, Clark." Brianna smiled a little embarrassedly, "Then I will become a man of the school..."

With a bang, the elevator door slowly opened.

Brianna swallowed back what she hadn't finished speaking, and followed Clark out of the elevator.

"By the way." When she walked to the door of the building, she suddenly raised the hot dog in her hand and said angrily, "I even forgot that I bought this!"

"Ah, it's all cold."

Brianna looked sad.

Clark took the hot dog from her hand, "It's okay—"

Before the words fell, Clark's voice suddenly stopped.

"Get out of here quickly!" He raised his head and looked into the distance, then suddenly disappeared in place.

The hot dog fell hard to the ground.

Brianna takes a silent look at the hot dog, then looks in the direction he left.

After a while, there was a commotion in the distance, and the crowd dispersed and began to flee in a panic.

Brianna raised her eyebrows, and saw an ugly, muscular purple monster running quickly in her direction, seemingly losing its mind.

It is a parasitic demon.

How the hell did the Rope Witch get such a powerful supervillain?

Brianna was worrying about whether it might end up killing her first.

But if Briana had been obedient, she wouldn't want to rule the world.

The parasitic demon can absorb the power of anyone who comes into contact with him. Even a superman needs to wear a special battle suit to defeat him, but it is obviously too late to prepare now.

After just a few back and forth, Clark was immediately at a disadvantage, showing a little fatigue.

Brianna gritted her teeth, remembering that as a human being she was almost never hurt.Therefore, even if the ability is sealed, they should not die, so they ran in the direction where they were.

Clark was thrown forcefully onto a statue, which was immediately smashed to pieces. She knelt beside him in panic, ignoring the stones on the ground that made her knees bleed.

Clark saw that Brianna was still here and ran to his side, yelling at her angrily, "Get out!"

After speaking, regardless of Brianna's aggrieved and worried appearance, she struggled to get up and continued to fight with the parasitic demon.

Of course Brianna would not give up such a good opportunity.

She let the rope witch lead the villain over just to let Superman loosen his vigilance against her. Of course, it would be better if there were other gains.

When Clark was knocked to the ground again, Brianna simply opened her arms and stood in front of him this time.
