Chapter 252 Heading to Gotham
Clark's farewell journey was not smooth, even with Joseph accompanying him.
Kent Sr. and Martha were not willing to accept their son going to study so far away. They preferred that Clark would live peacefully in a small town and build a smaller farm when they got married. This would be enough to support a family of three. .
But Clark at this time has changed a lot from the original plot.
Now he not only has good friends, but also has seen some scenery outside. Under such circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for him to willingly guard the farm.
Young people yearn for excitement and novelty, and hate the same boring things.
So after he expressed his emotions and thoughts very seriously, Old Kent and Martha finally had no choice but to accept the reality.
Because time was too tight, they could only pack some clothes in a hurry, and then stood together at the gate of the farm to watch their son leave.
"I'm just going to school."
Standing in front of the car door, Clark couldn't help but turn around and said.
"Remember what I said, Clark."
Kent Sr. was stubborn, like the cows he kept on his farm, "Don't do anything out of line."
"knew."
This sentence once again allowed Clark's irritability and resistance to occupy his mind, and he turned around to get in the car.
"etc!"
Martha suddenly rushed over and hugged her son, "Clark, you are a good boy. I believe you will not let us down, right?"
"Do not worry."
Clark thought about what Amber had said that night, "I know exactly what I'm going to do, Martha, and you'd be proud of me."
"Well, I love you, baby."
Martha held him and stood there, letting go after nearly half a minute, "When you come back, I'll prepare a big meal for you."
"I love you too, Martha."
Clark nodded, finally opened the car door and got in.
He looked at the two figures in the light, and didn't look back until they were out of sight.
"You are very happy, my child. This is enough to make many people in Gotham unable to sleep with envy."
Joseph looked at Clark through the rearview mirror, "Be happy, the chicks will always leave the nest and fly alone."
"Thank you, Mr. Joseph."
Clark asked curiously: "What kind of place is Gotham?"
"Gotham..."
Joseph was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words: "Those who love it say it is heaven, and those who hate it say it is hell. You must go and see for yourself.
Kid, I hope you spend most of your time at school instead of going to the bar with those little bastards. "
"Of course, I don't like places that are too noisy."
Clark had no idea about bars, he just thought of them as a place for drinking.
"So much the better."
Joseph nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go pick up your friends."
"Um."
the other side.
Amber was not as troublesome as Clark. She just said a little and got Anke's consent. Except for the time to pack clothes, not even a second was wasted in the whole process.
This wasn't because the Anke couple didn't care enough for him, but rather because they felt reassured.
They believed that with Amber's ability, when she went to Gotham, she was there to eat meat, not to be eaten.
Later, when Amber found Jack with the lockbox, the guy was squatting under a tree and talking on the phone.
"Hey, where's your luggage?"
"My uncle said that those things belong to him, including my clothes, so if he must go to Gotham, he will sever ties with me."
Jack said it lightly.
His childhood was actually very miserable. His father was a gangster and died in a street shootout. His mother was a street girl who disappeared after giving birth to him.
Originally, Jack was going to be sent to a children's welfare home, but his father's brother finally took him here.
"It doesn't matter, we'll buy new ones when we get there."
Amber thought for a while and simply put her suitcase at Frick's house and asked him to send it back later.
"I want the new Nikes."
Jack followed him to the appointed roadside and waited.
"good."
Amber nodded slightly.
It is very convenient for him to get money. Large legal amounts are definitely not enough, but tens of thousands is not a problem.
"If it's okay, after we go to Gotham, can we go to a bar first?"
Jack looked forward to it, "A friend of mine said that for a very small amount of money, you can take a teenage girl home."
"Jack, you'd better give up on these thoughts if you don't want to get sick."
Amber put on her glasses again from her pocket, "You also know how special Clark is. I want to guide him to the right path, and you can't cause trouble in this regard."
"It's not a conflict, man."
Jack still wanted to quibble, but regretted it after he said it. He knew Amber's character very well, so he immediately changed his words: "Is it okay to have a normal relationship?"
"Sure, as long as you're not afraid of wearing a hat."
Amber's words stunned him.
"Hat? What hat? Why are you afraid?"
Jack was very puzzled.
But he didn't get the answer because Joseph's car had already arrived.
"Hi!"
Clark rolled down the window and looked at their empty hands. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to go there like this?"
"Haha, Amber said she wanted to buy new ones."
Jack unceremoniously got into the passenger seat.
"Damn it!"
Clark pretended to be annoyed and slapped his forehead, "If I had known, I wouldn't have brought it with me."
"Don't worry, it won't affect you if you bring it with you."
Amber opened the car door and stood next to him, "I'll just buy you a copy when I buy it."
"Well, there's no need for that. Martha said you should be more frugal outside."
Clark took out a roll of U.S. dollars from his pocket as he spoke, "This is the living expenses they gave..."
"Clark."
Amber suddenly held his hand, "We are brothers, right? Don't let any interests taint this friendship."
"Oh, cool."
Joseph, who had been silent, suddenly said: "This is the best sentence I have heard this year. You are all good kids, and Evanston High School will be proud of you."
"Thanks."
Clark took the money back and kept what he just said in mind.
Amber was his only friend, and Jack was half of them.
This friendship really cannot be tainted by anything.
More than ten minutes later.
The car stopped in front of a wide flat area, and a small private plane was heard not far away.
"Young men, your new life is about to begin. Say goodbye to this place."
Joseph stood in front of the car and smiled at them.
"We will be back again, it's just a matter of time."
Amber shook her head slightly and stepped onto the cabin first, followed closely by Jack.
Clark turned his head and glanced at the town, his lips twitching as he didn't know what to say.
"Goodbye, Morwell Town."
