Chapter 116 Use Kryptonite on Me!
"I think you should explain that to me, John."

After returning from the station, Peter decided to talk to A-Zu.

"This morning, when I was driving Bruce to the station, I saw Evelyn Blake."

Evelyn Blake is a neighbor who often has a cigarette between her fingers.

Peter looked at the somewhat nervous A-Zu and said in a leisurely tone:

"I saw her smoking a cigarette in her eight-acre yard with its high fence and pink creepers, and you were there, and I guess, John, she was inviting you to smoke, wasn't she?"

As for the fact that A-Zu, such a naughty kid, might become addicted to smoking at such a young age, he felt that it was necessary to nip the problem in the bud.

"No, Dad, I didn't."

A-Zu quickly denied it.

He knew that if he admitted to smoking, he would definitely be whipped by his father.

"Ms. Black just asked me if I wanted one?"

Peter frowned. "Really? What did she say?"

"She said that if she didn't pass it to me, she would be violating the Smoker's Code, which was established in the late 19th century by Mr. Smokey von Smokington and his wife, Esmeralda Canserface, who declared that smokers should share their cigarettes like friendly little monkeys when they smoke."

A-Zu described the scene at that time, "Then she handed me the cigarette, but I didn't want it."

"Dad, I won't take drugs or smoke."

A Zu vowed: "I will not become the kind of person who is easily addicted."

"Don't you like milk?"

Star-Lord next to him added.

"No! How can cigarettes be the same as milk?"

A Zu glared at Star-Lord and immediately felt that this guy was extremely annoying.

He's almost as annoying as Bruce Wayne.

But Bruce has traveled around the world, why doesn't Star-Lord go to outer space?!
"Anyway, you can't smoke at your age."

Peter warned the two, "If I find out, I will cancel all your pocket money and send you to a mutual aid group."

The serious consequences that Peter mentioned gave the two of them a chill.

"Of course, Dad, I won't."

A Zu immediately expressed his loyalty.

"I think, Dad, you should pay more attention to Star-Lord's addiction problem."

He took the opportunity to change the topic to Star-Lord.

"Star-Lord had a king-size sandwich spread before you came over, and he ripped open the bag of pretzels and put the pretzels in the sandwich spread and ate it like that."

A Zu said to Peter in a seemingly sincere tone: "Dad, I think you should supervise him and not let Star-Lord eat these things that will make him fat."

Before he could say anything, Star-Lord next to him immediately got angry and said, "This is my hobby!"

Seeing that Zu was so unethical, Star-Lord also informed Peter: "Dad, Zu secretly went to milk the cows and drink it while you were away yesterday."

A-Zu immediately defended himself: "I just want to do farm work to earn some pocket money!"

"These are not among the jobs that Daddy mentioned for earning pocket money. Admit it, John, you just like drinking milk, and the fresher it is, the better."

Being attacked by Star-Lord, Zu puffed up his cheeks and took a deep breath, "Okay, I admit that I did it, but look at what you did, you took ten dollars, I don't know if you stole your father's money, and then went to South Street to find someone to tell your fortune."

Seeing that Azu also told what he had done secretly, Star-Lord immediately looked guiltily at Peter, whose face was becoming increasingly worse.

Taking a deep breath, since the other party was going to tell his secret in front of his father, Star-Lord felt that he could not endure it any longer.

"What about the magazine under your bed with many movie actresses on it, and every one of them is very sexy?"

Hearing Star-Lord reveal the biggest secret under his bed, Zu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained to Peter:
"No! I don't know what that is. I've never had a magazine like that. Dad, Star-Lord must have hidden it in there. He likes this kind of stuff!"

A-Zu immediately showed an innocent look and continued in a hurried tone: "Or was it Clark who did it? You know that the last time he had an attack, he bought a lot of things at Eddy's Low Price Store."

Peter looked at him unkindly, "You mean Clark secretly hid the book under your bed?"

"Yes, it is."

"But aren't you in the middle of a cold war with Clark?"

"I"

A-Zu was immediately speechless.

five minutes later.

Peter stood in Zu's room, looking at the magazine in his hand.

The magazine didn't have overly revealing content, and although it wasn't for 18+, the mature female stars in sexy outfits on it made it seem like it wasn't the kind of magazine a kid of A-Zu's age would own.

Peter frowned. He remembered that this boy liked mature women in his previous life, and it seemed that he still had this hobby.

"I think, John, you'd better explain this to me."

Peter put the magazine away and spoke to him with a serious expression.

"I"

Looking at Peter's serious face, A Zu knew he couldn't fool around, so he said with a bitter face, "I stole it from Whitney."

"You stole his things?" "He often steals other students' things. I wanted to take them back and give them back to that student, but I didn't have time."

"uh-huh?!"

Peter stared at him with an expression that said, "Keep making up stories while I listen."

Exhaling, A-Zu looked around helplessly.

He knew that he was probably going to be beaten.

In the evening, A-Zu and Star-Lord were moving things on the farm.

Both of them were hit on the butt by Peter to varying degrees.

After informing on each other, the two now dislike each other.

While carrying the crops, Azu was thinking of how to take revenge on Star-Lord when Clark walked into the farm.

"Well, here comes Clark, who claims to be the successor to Padrick's farm."

A-Zu was unhappy about what happened today, and when he saw Clark come in, he immediately mocked him.

"I'm sorry, John. I apologize. I wasn't myself back then."

Clark's expression froze, and he apologized to Zu for the red kryptonite incident.

"You don't have to apologize, Clark, because..."

A Zu put down the crops in his hands, walked to Clark and said to him: "Because that is what you really think deep in your heart."

"You say you don't care about anything, but in fact you care more than anyone else."

Zu shrugged at Clark, "But whatever, we're not really friends now."

night.

Clark was eating on the farm, but due to the conflicts among the three naughty kids, they didn't talk to each other, resulting in a rather cold atmosphere at the dinner table.

After dinner, Zu and Star-Lord went upstairs and Peter called Clark.

"Clark, are you worried?"

Clark nodded and said dejectedly: "Maybe because what I said before hurt John, so he ignores me now."

"He actually knows that's not the real you, Clark."

Peter comforted Clark, "It's just that John needs some time to forget these things that make him unhappy."

"John isn't mad at me anymore?"

"Of course, I understand him as a father."

Peter patted Clark on the shoulder, "Time will heal all emotions, Clark."

"Really?"

Clark asked, blinking.

"of course it's true."

"that."

After listening to Peter's explanation, Clark felt better. After hesitating for a moment, he continued to ask Peter:
"Godfather, when I wore the red kryptonite, I awakened the same ability as Zu. Will I be able to fly like Zu in the future?"

Peter raised his eyebrows and asked him, "You mean thermal vision?"

"Yes, heat vision. I don't know why I suddenly have this ability. It seems to appear naturally."

Clark said in confusion: "Dad said that I came to Earth with a certain mission, and now this ability seems to be gradually awakening. Godfather, I even often dream at night that someone is calling me, and he calls me 'Carl'."

Clark didn't know what this meant to him.

Peter frowned as he listened to Clark's story.

Is Clark awakening his Kryptonian blood?
That spaceship, hidden under the Kent family's barn, that brought Clark to Earth, is gradually influencing and awakening Clark's bloodline?
"Godfather, what does Carl mean? Is that really my name?"

Clark asked Peter confusedly.

"Karl means 'star' in some ancient script."

Peter thought about it and explained to him.

"Stars?"

Clark repeated the word, "Star, you mean I'm a star? But I'm not a star, I'm just an ordinary boy from a farm in Kansas, and I'm not interested in stars."

Clark spoke his inner thoughts.

He looked out into the dark night. "I was interested in the outside world before, but now it seems too strange to me. Dangers like red kryptonite are everywhere in this world, right?"

As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Peter, "I am afraid of hurting you, Godfather. If I have to shoulder something and the cost is to hurt you, I would rather not have this mission."

Looking at Clark's confused yet determined eyes, Peter felt touched.

He touched Clark's head, "No, no, Clark, you don't have to shoulder anything now."

"What if my ability really hurts you in the future? I'm afraid of that happening."

Clark took a deep breath and said to Peter: "Godfather, next time if I hurt you like Red Kryptonite did this time, use Kryptonite on me!"

"Even if I die, I don't want this to happen."
