Chapter 21 Persuading Clark to change his career

Peter didn't know that Leno Luther was investigating him, and now he was busy scolding Azu.

Clark next to him was also scolded.

"Why are you quarreling?"

Peter asked Clark first.

Clark said aggrievedly: "Azu said that the leaves I drew look like dog's buttocks."

"Really?"

Peter looked at Azu who was guilty.

"Yes, yes, Dad."

Touching his buttocks that were still a little painful after being beaten, Azu said with a bitter face.

He was thick-skinned and others couldn't beat him, but Peter could let him experience what pain felt like.

Peter took the plant leaves that Clark drew with crayons.

"You shouldn't say that, Azu."

Peter taught Azu.

"But, Clark's drawing really looks like a dog's buttocks."

"There are many things in the world that look like dog's buttocks, but that doesn't mean you should go around spreading it."

Peter closed the picture book and said to Azu: "Sometimes you have to hide your thoughts because you will hurt people."

Clark listened to the godfather's words and suddenly felt a little depressed.

Although he didn't quite understand, it seemed that the godfather also felt that the leaves he drew looked like dog butts.

Peter sat on the sofa and asked the two, "Do you know why I don't agree with you going to school?"

Generally speaking, American children usually start school at the age of five or six.

Of course, the specific regulations vary from state to state and school district, depending on local education policies, resource allocation, and family choices.

But in Smallville, most children aged five to six have already enrolled.

For example, Lana, who started school-age education at the age of five, is now a first-grade student and will soon become a second-grade senior.

"I don't know."

A Zu shook his head blankly.

"Because you and Clark are not ready yet, ready not to hurt others and be hurt by others."

Jonathan and Martha had talked to him about the issue of the two going to school.

But he refused because the two children were not ready yet.

He had already imagined the scene of the two being laughed at as freaks after they entered school.

Clark spent his previous life in this environment.

The two had never been injured because of their physical constitution, and they had no control over the size of their strength, so they had no concept of physical damage.

In addition to their immature personalities, if they were discriminated against by their classmates,

he was really afraid that A-Zu would get angry and kill his classmates.

"Dad, are we human?"

A-Zu thought of the scene of his father slashing zombies, and he asked confusedly.

"Of course, we are all human, you and me, and Clark, we are all human."

A-Zu continued to ask: "Since we are human, why are we different from others?"

"This is our talent, didn't Dad tell you? This is also a responsibility, the responsibility to protect the family."

Clark next to him heard Peter say "the responsibility to protect the family", and his eyes immediately lit up.

A-Zu nodded, still a little puzzled and asked: "Then why do we have to control ourselves?"

Peter was silent for a moment, thinking of Jonathan's education of Clark.

Superman is not an ordinary child, and he has no idea of ​​his own destructiveness.

If ordinary parents educate him, it would be like a chicken teaching an eagle cub how to live as a chicken. Once he finds out that he is not a "chicken", his repressed instinct will be completely out of control.

Jonathan and Martha educate Superman by limiting his ability. They don't ask him to be a "chicken", but tell him that he doesn't know how to be an eagle yet. Your mind can't bear the consequences of this power, so live like an ordinary person and carefully control your ability until the day you can control the power, and then take the responsibility of this power.

Although Peter won't educate Zu and Clark like Jonathan and his wife, he can learn from them.

He stroked their hair and said, "Because you can't bear the consequences of this power getting out of control, I have to teach you how to control yourself before you enter school."

"That is to say."

Clark looked up and said expectantly, "Godfather wants to be my and Zu's teacher?"

"Uh-huh, I'm your first teacher."

"Then can Dad teach me to draw?"

Clark didn't even call "Godfather" anymore, and directly called "Dad" to ask Peter to teach him to draw.

Peter looked down at the "butt" drawn by Clark, feeling a little tired.

"I think a career that suits you might be a journalist, Clark."

Peter persuaded Clark to change his career seriously.

The next day.

Almost everyone in the town came to the central church of Smallville to attend the funeral.

The fire and terrorist attack in the auditorium killed more than a dozen people and injured more than twenty people. This was the largest casualty incident in the town since the tornado in 1950.

Peter wore a black suit and took Clark and A-Zu to the funeral for the second time.

Compared with the last time, the two little boys have obviously adapted to the atmosphere of the funeral, and they kept a solemn expression like adults.

"Thank you, Peter. If it weren't for you, Clark might have..."

Martha and Jonathan thanked Peter.

"I am Clark's godfather, and this is what I should do."

Peter exchanged a few pleasantries with the couple and asked, "What does the government think of this attack?"

"I heard that the governor has commissioned a special committee to investigate. The media's temporary conclusion is that it was a biological attack. The poisoned people lost their minds and attacked people randomly, but we all know that it was a terrible zombie."

At this time, Jonathan had completely believed Peter's "zombie theory".

"I never thought that there would be zombies in our town."

"Jonathan!"

Seeing someone coming, Martha immediately pulled her husband's sleeve and signaled him to be careful.

"I hope I didn't disturb you."

Lenno Luther, with long hair and unique temperament, came up to greet everyone.

"Mr. Patrick, and Mr. Kent, right?"

He called out the names of the two and said to Peter: "My company has dealt with Mr. Patrick before because of business problems."

"Who are you?"

Peter looked at this familiar guy.

"I'm Leno Luther."

When he heard that it was this entrepreneur who was not very famous in the town, Jonathan didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he said excuse me and left.

Leno Luthor didn't care, because his target wasn't the other party.

"Mr. Luthor, are you still planning to buy my farm?"

Peter frowned as he looked at the father of Lex Luthor, the future enemy of Superman.

This guy wouldn't be a good person, otherwise how could he cultivate a tyrant like Lex?

"No, actually, we have given up on the creation of the chemical plant. We are planning an agricultural subsidy program to help the farmers in the town."

Peter looked at him in surprise.

Would this guy suddenly change his nature?
