Chapter 39 Reason and Instinct

"Godfather, my parents were kidnapped?"

Clark stood up and looked at Peter helplessly.

"Dad, who did this?"

A-Zu's little face also tensed up.

"do not know."

Peter put the letter away, frowning slightly.

The other party told him in the letter that Jonathan and Martha were kidnapped, and asked him to send Clark and A Zu to the designated location before 11 o'clock in the evening.

Is that the black man Jonathan was talking about yesterday?

Thinking about it, Peter looked up and saw Clark's anxiety and helplessness. He reached out and stroked his hair, "Don't worry, Godfather will bring mom and dad back."

"I"

Clark's eyes were instantly blurred with tears, "Godfather."

"You trust the Godfather, don't you? Clark, look me in the eyes, do you trust the Godfather?"

Peter knelt down and took his hand.

"Yes, yes, I believe in the Godfather."

Clark quickly calmed down with Peter's comfort.

"Very good, Godfather promises you that he will bring mom and dad back before 11 o'clock, but you must stay on the farm with A-Zu."

Peter straightened Clark's messy collar, "You are the older brother, take good care of Zu, can you do it?"

Of course he wouldn't take Clark and Azu with him.

Although he can ensure the safety of the two boys no matter what traps the other party sets, it is better to avoid letting the elementary school students face such bloody scenes directly.

"I can, but Godfather, I want to go with you."

Clark's eyes showed determination, "I can help you, and I can punish those bad guys who kidnapped mom and dad."

"And me, Dad."

A-Zu also volunteered to come up, "Dad, I can help you deal with them, and I can protect you."

"Dad can protect himself. Don't you two have confidence in him?"

A-Zu looked confused, "But. Dad"

He believed in Peter, but he was also afraid that his father would end up like Uncle Jonathan and the others, being tied up by evil people.

He didn't know how to explain his conflicted feelings.

After Peter comforted Azu and Clark, he picked up his coat, went to the yard, started the car and rushed outside.

It started to rain, and the rain hit the windshield.

The wipers swayed back and forth, and the rustling sound of the rain-soaked tires reached his ears.

Ten minutes later, Peter drove the car onto the gravel shoulder of the road and turned off the engine.

The transaction location mentioned by the other party is the abandoned factory in front of us.

Peter got out of the car and walked to an empty muddy road.

Soon a row of barbed wire appeared in front of him.

A chain-link fence and a gate prevent anyone from entering the factory.

The top of the fence was clumsily wound with coils of rusted wire.

The signs were stuck in the ground and tied to the fence.

The signs were made from scraps of plywood or scrap metal, the messages painted on were still wet, and the size of the letters was inconsistent - some were large, some were small.

[No hunting! ]

【Article 1. God is watching you】

God knows who is lying

[Is there life after death? Once the intruder is discovered]

[Stop now! Otherwise you will be severely punished]

[Climbing over this fence is strictly prohibited]

-

Peter shook his head slightly as he looked at the words on the sign. Was God watching him?

He pushed forward casually, and the door was blown away several meters with a "bang" and hit the ground heavily.

"God is dead, now Superman is born."

Walking into the abandoned factory, Peter saw a figure standing on a platform inside the factory.

"Peter Padrick?"

Horry turned around and looked at Peter in surprise who came alone.

"It seems you didn't bring Clark and John here as we agreed."

Peter didn't say anything. He looked at Horry's face and frowned.

Although this is the first time I see this guy, I always feel that he looks familiar.

"What do you want? I think I can satisfy you by myself."

Peter took a step forward and said to him.

"Do not."

Horry shook his head. "Neither you nor the Kent couple are what I want. Clark and John are. If you don't do what I say, I can only say I'm sorry."

Peter sneered, "I'm looking forward to how you're going to express 'regret'."

Meanwhile, Padraic Farms.

A-Zu changed his shoes and put on his coat, ready to go and support his father.

He opened the door and walked into the courtyard, but was stopped by Clark who was coming down the stairs.

"John, you can't leave the farm."

Clark grabbed Zu's arm, "Godfather said for us to stay on the farm."

"Dad needs our help or he might get kidnapped too. We can't stay on the farm."

A Zu said excitedly: "He needs us. Dad is in the school bus now. The school bus is about to fall into the river. I must save him."

"The Godfather doesn't need you to rescue him, and he's not in the school bus. He asked us to trust him."

Although Clark wanted to rescue his parents immediately at first, he now calmed down and chose to believe the Godfather.

"You don't trust the Godfather anymore?"

"No, this is not trust, Clark. Dad said that sometimes, when a crisis occurs, most people act according to their instincts that are deeply rooted in their hearts. I am just following my instincts."

Zu bit his lip and wiped the rain off his face, "You're wrong, Clark."

Clark's hair was wet by the rain, and the expression on his face was unusually firm. "The Godfather asked me to take care of you, and I can't let you leave. I believe in the Godfather, and you don't believe in him, John, you are wrong."

"You idiot! Why don't you understand? This is all your fault!"

At this moment, A-Zu's blood boiled and his face turned red. "If you hadn't insisted on pushing the school bus up, your parents wouldn't have been kidnapped. This is the 'price' that Dad talked about!"

Clark was stunned in place, "What?!"

"This is the price I'm talking about, Clark, you idiot, do you understand?"

Clark's face also turned red because of Zu, "This is not the price! What do you want me to do? Watch them all die?"

"What does the death of others have to do with us?"

"The Godfather said that human life is extremely precious!"

“That’s someone else’s life!”

"Life is the same for you and me, they are equally important!"

"So you're willing to let your parents die for a carload of people?"

"Shut up, John!"

"You just shut up!"

A-Zu was driven a little crazy and simply reached out and pushed Clark out.

"Oh!"

The explosion of super power directly pushed Clark dozens of meters away.

With a "bang", Clark's body crashed through the barn wall and fell to the ground, making a deafening sound.
