Chapter 45 First Flight Experience

"Anyway, thank you for your generous help, Mr. Luther."

Leno shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "It seems that you still have some opinions about me, Padrick."

"No, I just think, Mr. Luther, that your agricultural fund should help farmers who need it more than I do."

Peter looked at Jonathan who was repairing the roof in the distance. "For example, Jonathan is planning to apply for a bank loan recently. I think your agricultural fund should be able to solve his difficulties."

Leno glanced at Jonathan and said, "Of course, I also hope to help Mr. Kent."

Then he took out a business card and handed it to Peter, "This is my personal business card. If you have any questions, you can call this number."

Peter took the card and nodded, "Thank you, I will."

"Maybe there's some misunderstanding between us, Padraic."

After handing out the business card, Leno coughed and said, "An employee of my company may have had some minor friction with you because of the farm land. I apologize to you. I have already dealt with the employee who acted on his own."

He talked about the last time the Luther Group tried to buy the farm by force.

"It's ok."

Of course Peter wouldn't believe that this was his men's own decision.

Judging from the old fox's previous behavior, I'm afraid his subordinates are doing things according to his instructions.

Looking at the other party's performance now, could it be that this old fox has some plans for me?

Or is he simply coveting the swamp he purchased?
He knew that the other party had sent people to the mayor's office to purchase the swamp, but he had gotten there first.

Putting away the business card, Peter suppressed the thoughts in his mind and said to Leno with a serious expression:

"People in this town may have misunderstood you, Mr. Lenore, and think that you have bad behavior, but I think bad behavior and doing a lot of evil are two different things, am I right?"

Leno: “.”

Are you praising me or insulting me?
Leno, who realized Peter's insidiousness, smiled awkwardly and said, "As a businessman, you sometimes unconsciously become enemies with most people, even though sometimes this is not your intention."

While the two were talking, they saw Martha walking towards them. After saying a few more words, Leno said goodbye to Peter and left.

Looking at Leno's back as he left, Martha asked Peter in surprise, "He is Leno Luther?"

"Uh-huh, this metropolitan banker wants to fund me to rebuild my farm, but I don't need it."

He said to Martha, "Compared to you, you need help more."

Martha was touched by Peter's words.

"Thank you, Peter. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"It's okay, Martha, we are a family, but there is one troublesome thing, you need to convince Jonathan."

Peter sighed and said, “He is not willing to accept the help of the Luther family.”

"Yeah, I don't need his help."

On the way back, Jonathan heard his wife talking about Luther's willingness to provide agricultural funds. He shook his head and said, "We can make it through this."

Martha sighed helplessly, "You are still so stubborn, Jonathan."

"In fact, through what happened to Horry last night, I have realized many of my own problems."

Jonathan drove the car forward. "I will try my best to correct it, but this matter is not a matter of stubbornness. The Luthor family has always been cunning. If we accept his help, we may lose something more important in the future."

Martha nodded when she heard this.

She felt that what her husband said made sense.

As the car drove onto a remote road near the Kent farm, Martha suddenly noticed something.

"Jonathan, stop the car!"

"what?"

Jonathan stopped the car and looked at his wife in confusion.

Martha said nothing, opened the car door, and walked down to the area covered by weeds.

Jonathan followed his wife over and was stunned when he saw the corpse of an animal lying on the ground.

The animal seemed to have been dead for a long time and was in the form of bones.

The surrounding weeds are dry and yellow.

Everything within sight appeared bleak and dilapidated.

“Is this a coyote?”

Squatting down, Jonathan briefly examined the animal's skeleton and said uncertainly.

"But why did it decay so quickly?"

Shaking his head, Jonathan said doubtfully, "We didn't smell any rotten or foul smell when we passed by here."

Martha was also confused.

After a while, she stood up and looked up at the sunset in the sky.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded, and the dim light cast a chilly feeling on her.

Smallwell Elementary School.

Clark was about to stuff his bag into his locker when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hi Clark!"

Hearing Lana's voice, Clark was so excited that he broke the lock of the cabinet.

Holding the lock he had broken off, he quickly hid it behind him and used his body to block the lock in the cabinet to prevent Lana from noticing anything unusual.

"Hey, Lana."

Clark greeted Lana guiltily.

"Are you okay Clarke?"

Lana asked with concern when she saw that Clark looked a little off.

"I'm fine, just a little hot."

Lana nodded and continued to ask without any doubt: "I heard that Uncle Peter's farm was hit by a disaster yesterday? Is Uncle Peter okay?"

Clark didn't dare to say that the farm was destroyed by himself and A-Zu, so he could only deal with it vaguely, "Uh, yes, the Godfather is very good."

"That's good."

Lana breathed a sigh of relief when Clark said it was okay.

Clark mustered up his courage and was about to say a few more words to the other party when Lana's friend came over.

"See you later, Clark."

Lana took her friend's hand and waved to Clark as they left.

"See you soon."

Clark muttered quietly as he stared at Lana's back.

Because he failed to strike up a conversation, Clark was still in a depressed mood when school was over in the afternoon.

A-Zu didn't notice Clark's low mood, he was in good spirits.

"Clark, let's race to see who can get to the farm first."

"Next time."

Clark was in no mood.

"Are you scared?"

"afraid of what?"

A Zu said provocatively: "I'm afraid you can't run as fast as me."

"I can run much faster than you."

When Clark heard A-Zu say that he ran slowly, he immediately became competitive, "I run faster than Lightning!"

"Hmm, let's try it!"

Clark, who was defeated by A-Zu's clumsy provocation, immediately stood on the same starting line as A-Zu.

"preparation!"

"run!"

As A-Zu shouted the command "Run", the two of them immediately rushed forward like arrows.

Clark turned his grief and anger into strength and took the lead right from the start.

The two naughty kids rushed forward at a speed far beyond the limits of human beings, forming two flashes of lightning on the road.

Seeing that he was falling behind, A Zu immediately gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up.

"I will always run faster than you!"

A-Zu roared and ran forward with all his strength.

"Whoosh!"

A shadow flashed past Clark, and then, in Clark's shocked eyes, A Zu's feet left the ground and rushed directly into the sky.

Looking at A-Zu "flying" forward in the sky, Clark stopped and looked incredulous.

next second.

"what!!!"

Accompanied by screams, A-Zu fell directly from the air and crashed into the windmill on the farm.

The windmill collapsed after being hit, and smoke, dust, and rocks rose up, making a deafening sound.
