Life is really not easy.

Clark rubbed his brows, he 'patrolled' the whole midnight last night, until the sun rose, he listened to the sound of his parents sleeping soundly, and he was sure that he had adjusted his mood.Superman flew high into the sky to recharge his batteries. In fact, when he got over the energy... the nervousness burst out again in a funny way.

After all, this will be his first business trip.

...Thanks Perry for the appreciation.Thanks for his courage in submitting the manuscript at that time. 'Thanks' Luther.His article was accepted and he landed himself this internship - Daily Planet!This is the Daily Planet——

How could he not be eager to come to this newspaper office?right?

Clark carried his and Louis' luggage and followed the female reporter in front of him closely.

"Can you believe it? Can you believe it? Kent - the annual pinnacle award was held in Las Vegas. It's funny, do you know where the award ceremony was in previous years?" Louis Lane rolled her eyes wildly, she stepped on 8 The centimeter-high high heels, but the pace is so fast that it seems to be trotting. "And I'll bet you that poor Perry won't get the news he wants—I don't think Stark will ever show up."

The woman raised her pretty eyebrows, and suddenly turned to stare at her follower... Today's farm boy is wearing a distressed blue and white plaid shirt with a light blue T-shirt underneath.Coupled with his jeans, it is really an indescribable 'youthful vitality'.In this world, maybe only students who have not yet graduated dare to wear this outfit - this outfit makes Clark look like a kid who just finished high school, coupled with the shy and friendly smile on the little otaku's face - in the eyes of outsiders Did she bring a son out?

"...It's hard to imagine you being our secret weapon, is it?" She raised her eyebrows critically. "That's why Perry paid me an extra plane ticket to take you - come on, Clark. Use your style - get this interview done without seeing Stark."

Louis spoke half-seriously and half-sarcastically.She really didn't understand why the big boy in front of her had such a spicy and sophisticated style of writing.She even suspected the possibility of being a ghostwriter... But after getting acquainted with Clark a little bit, the woman's intuition told her... Kent probably has such a flair.The possibility of him asking for a ghostwriter is infinitely close to zero, and she should be more worried that he will act as someone else's ghostwriter...

Clark smiled sheepishly.He blinked and smoothed out a stray strand of Louis's hair. "Thank you, Miss Lewis. But I really... know nothing about Mr. Stark. If I really can't see him this time... then I'm afraid I'll really only be ashamed of Perry's airfare .”

He really didn't think he could handle it all this time.Stark is not Luthor.He doesn't know anything about him.

Louis was taken aback by the boy's sudden kindness, and then she met those sincere blue eyes... immediately lost in frustration.He seemed to really not understand her hint—if he wants to get this job before graduation, he must pay attention to this report—Kent is indeed very talented, but he is too uncompetitive.He threw in the towel faster than anyone she'd ever seen. "Oh... stupid boy."

The woman turned her head back speechlessly, and quickened her pace again.

………………

Stark didn't come, as Louis said.

Clark looked at the embarrassing but forceful Colonel Roddy on the podium.Feel a little funny and helpless for a while.At this moment, he almost understood the complex emotions of the authorities when facing him.There is no way, just let it go.Same with Superman.They're counting on his integrity to keep him safe; it's the same with Stark.They let him be sloppy, and they don't want Stark to suddenly get serious and look back at what he's made...

arms dealer.warmonger.Deathbringer.The title was placed on Luthor and Stark one by one.The former despises all Homo sapiens other than himself, and feels that his compatriots are monkeys who have not yet evolved.The latter indulged in wanton enjoyment and never took the world seriously.These two people are the solid backing of the US hegemony and the leash behind the chaos in this world.

...But it stands to reason that the rope should always be in the hands of the owner.But whether it's Luthor or Stark...

Superman stared at Obadiah Stein, who was also a little embarrassed on the stage, who accepted the award for Stark.There was a momentary interruption in thinking.This is really... a farce.

Louis finally couldn't take it anymore.She picked up her bag and got up to leave.Clark also stood up, nodded slightly to his colleagues around him, and chased him out.

"Goddamn Stark—has he never been told to respect other people, achievements—even himself?" Lewis cursed under his breath.Clark faintly felt sorry for her.He knew that her father had also been nominated for the Pinnacle Award, but he couldn't get it because he had been on the battlefield... Now that Stark won the award and didn't show up, it must have made her very sad.Clark patted Louis on the shoulder lightly, comforting in a low voice.

"...Let's play two games, Louis. You guessed it right, so there's no need to waste your emotions on him... You are so beautiful today, it's a pity to go back to the hotel directly."

—he'd make sure Louis made a fortune at the casino.Hope this makes her happy.

Luis clenched her fists and recovered within five seconds - this isn't the first time she's been let down by a celebrity.no.And she mustn't lose her composure in front of Kent—absolutely not.

Women stop gnashing their teeth.She turned her head, squinted at the little boy in front of her, and smiled contemptuously.

"—you're old enough to play casinos, aren't you, Kent?"

Seeing her pretending to be relaxed, Clark almost burst out laughing.He took the initiative to bend his arms so that Louis could carry him conveniently.She'd just complimented him on how he looked in a suit—he hoped he'd be a good companion tonight.

"Of course, Miss Lane." Clark smiled gently.Pretending not to see Louis' reddish eyes. "And thank you for your generosity, Perry - I still have a little left over from that Luthor report besides buying this suit. If you're happy enough tonight, why don't you apply to Perry for a page in Las Vegas A day's strategy is ready..."

Lois Lane takes Superman on his arm and they leave together.

………………

However, in the end, the headline of the Planetary Daily was given to Stark.

"Tony Stark Is Missing"

... Clark looked at Louis' reaction from disapproval to disbelief, and from disbelief to bewilderment.

"Are you sure it's not fake news?...There is a possibility of a terrorist attack? There are dead bodies..." Clark looked at Louis with a bit of consternation... trembling. "No, no his body? I know, but I can't rule out that the news was concealed, right?...Oh my God..."

Clark was confused for a while.

...he knew, and he 'knew' Louis Lane...not a woman who would be alarmed to this degree by the disappearance of a rich man/arms dealer...she wouldn't applaud Luthor's terminal illness, But don't cry about it either...

Superman was confused for a moment.

Louis asked for a while before hanging up.She calmed down with her back to Clark... But in the end she couldn't help turning her head to talk to him.

"…I know it's really kind of funny. You can laugh at me, sweetheart." Clarke twitched his lips at the address.After they gambled together, they really got closer... But that word came out after she was drunk... But Louis is sober at this time! "Yesterday I still spurned him and loathed him. Now I can't help worrying about him—it's a bit funny. I even calmly think about those soldiers who died because of him... Ah forget it."

She gave up with a long sigh.For the first time, he covered his forehead in front of Clark regardless of his image.

"I know him. It's funny that I used to know him—" Clark gave a cooperative look of surprise—and he was indeed surprised.He even thought that Lois might have had some time with Stark... "Don't make me think about Kent. When I was very young... my father took me to meet Howard Stark. At that time He's still alive, you know... probably Stark was 67 at the time."

Superman nodded understandingly.Pass a mug of hot cocoa to this nearly broken woman.Louis took it, but only held it in his hand. "He wasn't a jerk back then. Just a—very annoying smart kid. You know. Stark was always a genius..."

Clark watched the woman in front of him sink into memories, watching her frown.

"...We don't know each other at all." Louis said in a low voice. "I don't like him at all either. But I do. You know...I know when his parents died...I know he's down and I've seen him come back...and it's slowly becoming what it is today This bastard looks..."

Clark looked softly at the Iron Lady of the Daily Planet.Her voice was so low, as if she was ashamed of herself at the moment.

"...I really...for him, for Howard, for Maria..."

She couldn't go on.

Clark was at a loss.

………………

Superman flies in the night sky of Afghanistan.

It's been three months since the Tony Stark kidnapping.The military is simply unbelievably calm.No one asked Superman to come to Afghanistan, but he did.

...Although Clark used a false identity to join the field news investigation team to find the whereabouts of Rick Jones, but during the half month he came to Afghanistan, he did witness with this group of reporters with extraordinary justice. A lot of helplessness in reality and the cruelty of war.He has never underestimated the cruelty and injustice of this world - but this still does not prevent him from being angry about it.

He shouldn't have taken advantage of it, he shouldn't have participated in the war...

But he was never a well-behaved 'Superman'.right?

The alien in the red and blue tights looked at the village tens of miles away—he and the leader of the reporter corps heard about the misfortune that happened in the village during the daytime... all those who did not participate in the "Ten Commandments" All people are 'traitors', and all traitors are only worthy of being enslaved or killed.Women and children imprisoned, men slaughtered in front of their families—

This is the world.

A grim smile appeared on Superman's mouth.The big guy crashed into the village at once—like a bolt of lightning, like a bomb——

Don't expect him to be a disciplined Superman.Don't even think about it.

………………

"where is he?"

The radicals in front of them screamed loudly.

【devil!It's the devil—O Allah—help me!Help—someone!Soldier—are you dead——]

'Devil' raised his eyebrows slightly in the shadows.Those red eyes narrowed.He sneered, and pointed at the child with a bruised nose and a swollen face curled up in a corner.

[Continue to beg.Keep praying. 】

The Arab was so startled that he forgot to scream.

The devil speaks out words.

[Ask your Lord to bring down the boulder, ask him to kill me. 】The devil's voice carried a terrifying smile. [Continue to call your soldiers.keep going. 】

'Devil' frowned deeper.He smelled urine.

[Look at how you treat these children.You are worthy of crying, you are worthy of fear—tell me where this man is—before I tear off your human skin—]

[I won't ask again. 】

The demons in the darkness gradually emerged.He was tall, with black hair and blue eyes.The huge 's' on his chest and that handsome face made the occupants of this village completely lose hope...

Not a demon.

It wasn't the devil who sent the punishment...—it was the gods—the gods would punish them—

—but he didn't know anything.

Clark frowned slightly. This was the village where Dr. Banner was taken away.But two months after the withdrawal of U.S. government troops, a group of well-armed militants occupied the place.They also think that there are secrets of the US military here, and they don't know what'Hulk' is at all.I don't even know the whereabouts of Rick Jones.

Superman twisted gun after gun into clumps of scrap metal.Then melt those armored cars and cannons with red-hot eyes.

It really made him very happy.

With all the disarming work done, Superman smiled at the hesitant people who had been through so much.He has been in Afghanistan for a month, and every night he left the team and flew to the vicinity... He asked three villages, but there was still no trace of Jones.The time he can leave Metropolis is really limited... If there is no news within the next month, things will become even more troublesome...

When Superman came back to his senses, he heard footsteps approaching.He didn't expect someone to have the courage to approach him... Clark turned his head and was startled.

The boy with the bruised nose was leading a girl who also had a bruised forehead.The boy held out his hand tremblingly.

In that small, mud-stained palm lay a pitiful candy.
