Chapter 157: Loki's Desire, Azu's Murderous Intention

Padraic Farm.

The next day, early in the morning.

"I didn't understand what was going on, but when I got there, Lana had been rescued and she was lying on the ground."

Clark asked Peter in confusion: "Godfather, do you know who did it? Someone got there before us."

"I do not know."

Peter shook his head and glanced at Loki who was pretending nothing had happened.

"But now that the matter has been resolved, I think none of this matters anymore."

Peter patted Clark on the shoulder, signaling him not to take it to heart.

Facing Peter's meaningful look, Loki suddenly felt guilty.

After Clark and Peter talked for a while, he walked over to Loki and greeted him.

"Why? Do you want to talk to me about your worries?"

Loki looked at Clark who was walking towards him, "If it's about your emotional experience, I probably won't be interested."

"No, I just wanted to apologize."

Clark sincerely apologized to Loki: "I shouldn't have identified you as a suspect without any evidence. I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Loki was stunned when he looked at Clark who was apologizing.

"I accept your apology."

Then he straightened his chest, like a victorious rooster, with an irrepressible smile on his face, and said to Clark: "But don't be embarrassed. It won't be shameful for you to bow your head to the future sacred emperor, Clark."

Clark suddenly fell into depression.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have apologized.

After breakfast, Clark, Azu, and Star-Lord went to school.

Peter and Rocky were the only ones left on the farm.

Loki was about to go upstairs when Peter stopped him.

"Loki, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Loki glanced to his left and right, "No, father, I'm fine."

"Really? You haven't been learning runes with me recently."

Peter asked him, "Maybe I can help you review it."

Considering that this kid's fighting style has always been dagger attacks, all magic is used by him to play pranks.

Peter felt that he needed to train his fighting style.

"Ok."

Loki nodded, and his body shape changed instantly, turning into a young man wearing a crown.

"I told you, Loki, you are not allowed to transform in the house!"

Seeing the other party's outrageous move, Peter immediately frowned and said to him.

"Okay, okay, father, I'll change back right away."

Facing Peter's unfriendly gaze, Loki immediately raised his hands in surrender and his body returned to its original shape.

Standing under the World Tree, Loki held the magic wand in his hand and nervously faced his father standing opposite him.

He had sparred with Peter before and was beaten badly.

Although Loki had researched a lot of magic through the black magic book, they were all illusion magic, which could not be hidden from Peter's eyes.

Peter's rune magic always makes him unable to resist.

Peter looked at Loki who was ready and said to him, "Now, wave your wand at me, Loki."

Loki resisted the urge to draw his dagger and immediately used his magic wand to construct a string of runes, summoning a strong wind to attack Peter.

But in an instant, the strong wind he released was dissolved by Peter's rune.

The unyielding Loki did not use runes this time. Instead, he used his magic wand to draw on the power of the World Tree and attacked Peter directly.

Energy gathered from the tip of the wand and then violently released outwards, emitting a scorching light and rushing directly towards Peter.

Facing Loki's attack, Peter used the "Return Curse" of the Rune to directly return the energy to the opponent.

Seeing the energy attacking him, Loki immediately turned around and ran away.

The next second, Peter moved in front of Loki who was about to escape and grabbed him.

"You're running away from just practicing, Loki. That's not what a wizard should do."

"Because I know that I will fail sooner or later when facing my father."

Loki said plausibly.

"Failure is not a word you can say lightly, Loki."

"But isn't failure Loki's fate?"

Loki suddenly asked him.

Peter was stunned for a moment, then touched his head, "Of course not, Loki, why do you think so?"

"Father, do you believe in parallel universes?"

"Yes, I believe."

"My father, I often dream about Lokis from parallel universes. There are many of them. There is a crocodile named Loki, a female Loki, and a child. They all say they are Loki. The only thing in common is that they all failed."

Peter asked him, "What failed?"

"If you choose to face your life bravely and choose to be a good person, you will definitely fail." Peter asked Loki in surprise: "So you don't want to be a good person, Loki?"

"No, Father, it's just"

Loki didn't know how to describe his feelings. "I don't want to be a bad guy. I just want..."

"Uh-huh, so you want to escape."

Peter interrupted Loki before he could finish.

It turns out that this naughty kid doesn't want to be a good person, but doesn't want to be a bad person either, so he pretends to not care about anything.

Loki was stunned for a moment when Peter pointed it out.

Peter continued to ask him with a serious expression: "You don't hate John, Clark and Star-Lord, right? You just keep avoiding your feelings for them. You don't know how to face it, so you can only use this prank to show others that you don't care about them at all."

"I"

Loki lowered his head and remained silent for a while when his father spoke his mind.

"All Lokis who are good people will die. Father, I saw a very old Loki. In order to survive, he cowardly pretended to be dead. In order to survive, he abandoned his brothers and people. Only in this way, he didn't care about anything and lived for thousands of years."

Peter nodded. "I think he must be very unhappy and live in pain all day, right?"

"Yes, father."

Loki raised his head and said to Peter, "Living in pain or dying like a hero, which one is more meaningful?"

Peter didn't answer directly, but touched his hair and said, "Don't ask me to give you the answer to this question. You need to find it yourself."

“Some people search their entire lives but never find it, while others realize it at a very early age.”

Peter comforted him: "You just need to know that Dad and your brother will always love you, and I will make sure that those deaths will never happen."

Loki nodded and exhaled, "But I guess John might not love me that much."

Peter was silent for a moment, trying to comfort the other person.

Unexpectedly, Loki said directly: "But this is perfect, father. In the future, I will inherit your throne and become the Lord of the Nine Realms. I will replace John and become your greatest honor!"

"I will be your greatest pride, father, not Star-Lord, not John, and not Clark."

Looking at Loki who seemed to have some middle school syndrome, Peter felt that the idea of ​​comforting him was just wishful thinking.

Meanwhile, Smallwell High School.

Lana is thanking Clark.

"Thank you, Clark, thank you and Uncle Padraic. If it weren't for you yesterday, I'm afraid I would have really..."

Lana felt deeply scared when she said this.

She could never have imagined that Tina would try to replace her and end her life in such a cruel way.

"No, Lana, actually, by the time I arrived at the scene, you had already been rescued."

Clark didn't hide what happened last night.

Lana was stunned for a moment, but still said to the other party: "No matter what, you saved me. Thank you, Clark."

As she spoke, she gave Clark a hug.

"Nice hug."

After Lana left, Zu stood behind Clark and spoke to him.

Clark was startled and turned around to see that it was A-Zu with a "spectator-eating" expression.

"But you have to be careful, sometimes love can go to your head."

Clark shrugged and said, "My mind won't be easily overwhelmed unless I wear the ruby ​​ring again."

"Hey, Clark."

As the two were talking, Chloe came over and greeted them, "And John, good morning."

"As a witness to last night's major news event, can I interview you as the editor-in-chief of The Torch?"

Chloe asked Clark for an interview.

"No, actually I just stumbled upon it by mistake. I don't think there's anything to say. You should interview the police."

Chloe moved her eyebrows. "Really? I counted the news that happened in Smallwell in the past two years. You appeared at the scene of the accident 22 times, not including this time, of course. And John, he appeared at the scene of the accident 11 times, and your godfather appeared at the news scene 14 times. Clark, your family always appears at the scene by accident."

"As a friend, I think you must have your own reasons. Perhaps you can share them with me. I promise to keep them confidential."

Chloe asked him curiously, "Are Uncle Padrick and his family aliens?"

Clark felt overwhelmed when he heard this.

He looked at A-Zu beside him for help, but found that the other person had disappeared long ago.

"Okay, but I don't know any more than you do."

Clark had no choice but to agree to the other party and decided to make up something to fool them.

After school in the afternoon, Zu walked home alone without waiting for Clark to be interviewed by Chloe.

As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw a black Subaru parked outside and several burly men in black suits looking into the campus.

Looking at the microphone in the other person's headphones and his capable movements, A-Zu could easily tell that the other person was definitely a government official.

"Federal agents?"

A-Zu thought secretly in his heart.

Could it be that government officials noticed something unusual about my father and me and came to investigate?
If the other party is here to investigate our side, should we kill them?

Stopping in his tracks, A-Zu turned his gaze towards the men in black suits.
