Chapter 429 Little cousin, it's better to call you from the motherland(1/2)
There is no doubt that adoptive father Jonathan has made Clark hide his plan and has completely failed.
No matter how you defend it, this matter cannot be easily covered up.
First of all, there are so many witnesses in the bank.
They saw with their own eyes how Clark defeated the two bank robbers and were safe and sound by a shotgun.
Unless Superman has a flashing pen that makes people cut apart, and then "click" to clear the memories of everyone present.
Otherwise, the confessions of so many people can be proved.
Besides, the surveillance cameras in the bank have already faithfully recorded everything that happened before.
There is a foregone conclusion that denying it is useless.
"Child, lying is not a good habit."
The fat officer looked at the twisted and deformed double-bar shotgun and secretly smacked his tongue. How terrifying the power it took to do.
There are also those two unlucky bandits, and their injuries seem to be light.
"Police officer, I am from the school football team, and I often do some work on my father's farm. I exercise since I was a child and I am very good at physical fitness. It is also very reasonable to be stronger than others!"
Clark was quick to learn and thought of a reason.
After meeting my eldest cousin, he became more and more accustomed to making excuses, and he was no longer the naive small town boy.
And Luke calls this change "growth".
"Oh, so everyone in your school's rugby team can bend the barrel and knock down two adult men weighing more than 160 pounds? I really think I'm Rambo!"
The fat police officer looked at Clark, who was posing like a bodybuilder, showing strong muscles, and thought that the child had a brain problem.
"If American children had you as strong as you, we would have formed a super legion and ruled the world!"
Seeing this young man who was brave enough to do justice, he was not willing to tell the truth.
The fat police officer was too lazy to continue wasting time, so he turned around and asked someone to maintain the scene, packed up physical evidence, and prepared to take Clark back to the police station for interrogation.
Of course, he did not want to interrogate the other party as a prisoner.
It's just out of the professional ethics of the police and personal curiosity.
High school students prevented gun-armed gangsters from robbing banks, which is big news.
No matter which city he is in, Clark's performance is amazing.
In this era when superheroes are not yet rampant, any behavior beyond ordinary people's understanding will attract a lot of attention.
"Mr. Police officer? The physical condition of people cannot be generalized. I have done things that are difficult to accomplish in normal times when I was extremely angry."
A plain voice with a smile came in? Stopped the fat police officer's actions.
"Kent's behavior can actually be reasonably explained from a scientific point of view? For example, because adrenaline is secreted at an extremely fast speed, the blood flow rate is accelerated? Thus, it bursts out with powerful power that cannot be exerted in the past? It is not as exaggerated as you imagine."
Seeing the visitor, Clark showed a look of surprise on his face and said anxiously: "Big watch...Mr. Cavill!"
At this time, only Luke can help him.
"Ah, it's Mr. Cavill? Why are you here?"
The fat police officer's originally cold attitude has been achieved by a huge change of 180 degrees.
He knew the young man standing in front of him, and last week he had dinner with the town's administrative committee member.
The young rich man in the metropolis and the stars of the town, and various halos imposed on Luke's head, making people impressed.
Speaking of which, the urban management model in the United States is very unique, one is the town meeting system.
All residents in the town meet at least once a year? Through internal discussions, various administrative measures related to public security and personnel flow are implemented.
There is another type of town representative conference system? It is similar to the one above, but is elected by all residents to attend the conference? It is more efficient and saves time.
The small town where the fat police officer is located is the second type, and the administrative committee is responsible for all official work.
The most powerful and prestigious are the town police chief and the various members of the committee.
The latter are generally composed of rich families and elite classes, and they represent the "opinions" of all small town residents.
The small town is a microcosm of the American political structure.
Seeing Luke appear, the fat police officer coughed twice and said in a slowing voice: "But he was shot and was not injured. Everyone saw it..."
"It may be that the bandits bought inferior firearms, or that Kent had learned some kind of Eastern 'qigong'."
Luke is serious nonsense.
"I know Mr. Ma. It is said that a British strongman with more than 200 kilograms can't touch a single finger. He is a very virtuous master."
The fat police officer looked confused, and for some reason the topic turned to Eastern martial arts.
He scratched his head, and because he didn't want to offend the other party too much, he hesitated and said, "This is a big case. He always wants to go back with us and record a complete confession."
"Sir, are you going to bring a boy who bravely stood up to protect his mother to the police station to ask, instead of increasing the search and chasing the escaped robber?"
Luke stressed his tone and said seriously: "That man brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in banknotes and guns. If he let him go, it would be irresponsible for the personal and property safety of the town residents."
"What you should do now should not be to make things difficult for this courageous boy, but to contact the highway patrol officers along the way and the state police to fully arrest the gun-carrying bandit wearing the president's face!"
Although in terms of age, Luke is not much older than Clark.
But he shocked the fat police officer in his momentum, as if he was the other party's superior.
After all, when he was a lieutenant general and chief SHIELD who had served as the Pentagon, he developed the habit of giving orders, and the majesty of the superiors subconsciously revealed.
"Kent is a good kid, he deserves praise, not being questioned like a prisoner."
After Luke said this, he didn't even look at the fat police officer and took Clark and his unconscious mother away.
The other party didn't say anything, just stood there a little awkwardly.
Such a behavior immediately attracted my little cousin's admiration.
Clark, who has not yet left the town, has developed a vague understanding of social status for the first time.
"I contacted the ambulance and took Mrs. Kent to the town hospital first, and then called Jonathan over. It should be nothing serious."
Luke seemed to have learned about the situation and quickly solved various problems.
Because of the ups and downs of emotions, Mrs. Kent unfortunately fainted.
All I can say is that the accident came too suddenly.
By the time Jonathan arrived, it was already dark.
This Kansas farmer with a strong sense of morality first expressed his sincere gratitude to Luke, and then replaced Clark who was guarding the bedside, held his wife's hand, and sat next to him and stared silently.
The latter gently closed the door and saw his big cousin sitting on a chair in the corridor.
"Now I have time, chat?"
Luke rubbed his temples and said softly.
Perhaps it was because of the "butterfly effect", the plot that should have been followed step by step.
It was like a sudden out of control and galloping in an unknown direction.
He thought he would still like to have a chance to have a dozen episodes of Clark and Lana's bloody relationship, and then waited for Superman to fight monsters in the Novice Village to upgrade, but he didn't expect to go straight to the identity crisis.
A bank robbery exposed Clark's strength and was about to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.
"Big cousin, what should I do?"
The two walked to the vending machine, took two cans of Coke, and then found a quiet place to start the conversation.
Clark acted very panicked, and it was purely an accident when he encountered a gangster robber of the bank.
In desperation, he accidentally showed a powerful force that was different from ordinary people in front of many witnesses.
After this, it will definitely lead to a series of chain reactions.
News about the town is circulating rapidly, and it won’t take long before Clark will become a household name.
"Don't be too nervous, Clark."
Luke calmed his cousin's emotions.
The current situation is actually a good thing for him.
Before, considering the resistance from the family, he did not interfere too much in Clark's life.
As Superman’s parents, Jonathan and Martha must have wanted their son to live a stable life.
It is best to inherit the Kent farm, stay in Kansas as a farmer, and then get married and have children.
But Luke didn't think so. He hoped that his cousin's life would become more interesting.
For example, become a Kryptonian who can play Wing Chun?
But on the emotional level, my cousin who has been separated for many years must have a deep relationship as much as her adoptive father and mother.
Rampant interference in Clark's life will inevitably cause the other party to be disgusted and conflicted.
A stable structure always requires external pressure to break the situation.
