Just when Delos was helpless that he didn't have a chance to play, the situation of the Kent family on the other side was not good at the moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The unfortunate here is not that their lives are threatened, but that Jonathan finds out that he has signed a contract to sell the farm. Not only that, but according to the content of the contract, he could only get $10,000! The $1,000,000 Bob told him was a complete lie!

"Jonathan!"

When Martha saw the contract in front of her, she couldn't help but raise her voice and call out to her own husband with emotion, her face full of disbelief: "How can you make a decision without consulting me?!" Who told me it was a 'family heirloom' and that it couldn't be sold? ”

Jonathan lowered his head in embarrassment and helplessness at the loss of his wife's number, but that didn't kill the anger in Martha's heart.

"This farm is only worth $10,000, and you should know that if our family is looking for a house to live outside, $10,000 won't be able to support us for long."

At this time, Clarke, who had just finished his date with Chloe, opened the door and heard his adoptive mother frantically accusing his adoptive father. Given that he had only heard Martha's words, he didn't understand why his adoptive mother was so angry for a while.

"Your dad sold the farm to Bob Rickman."

After Martha finished explaining, she still stared at Jonathan with an unhappy expression, which made the latter feel the urge to find a crack to hide in the ground for a while.

"I don't know what's going on."

Jonathan stroked his forehead in distress: "I obviously didn't have any door to him before, so I signed a contract with him inexplicably." ”

"I just called our lawyer."

Martha took a deep breath and resisted the urge to punch her husband with her fist, saying, "He said he had to read the contract before he could figure out how to help us." But don't use 'confused' as an excuse, it's not tenable in court. ”

Jonathan's face was bitter: "I don't know why I signed this contract. ”

"What did that Rickman do to you?" Clark had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and he didn't like the guy personally, so he called Bob by his last name.

"I don't know." Jonathan took a deep breath, rubbed his still-aching head and said, "He explained to me what he me, and then we shook hands, and then I signed the contract. ”

"It can't be that simple."

Clark made it clear that he didn't believe that because of this, the farm was sold. He knew that his adoptive father cared about the farm, and he would not sell it unless he had to.

"Otherwise, how do you explain my signature?"

Hearing this, the urge to knock on people in Martha's heart came up again.

"Maybe he's a mutant."

Clark narrowed his eyes and said the first thing that came to his mind: "I read the news that there are mutants who can manipulate other people's behavior, and even control other people's memories and minds. Dad, maybe you're being controlled by that Rickman. ”

At Clark's words, Jonathan and Martha suddenly felt their eyes light up. But it didn't take long for their eyes to darken again.

"If that's the case, then Rickman is dangerous."

Jonathan sighed and said, "Even if you look for him, it's useless." If he can control me because of this ability, he can also control the mind of a lawyer or even a judge. ”

Martha clearly agreed with Jonathan, and she thought of it more.

"Clark, with that kind of human character. If we use this argument to find an excuse for the other party, it is very likely that not only us, but also everyone we know will suffer. ”

It can't be helped, the ability to mind manipulation, manipulation of memories and other abilities is too terrifying. Not to mention ordinary people, even the vast majority of superpowered people don't want to face this ability.

"Not necessarily, Mom."

Unwilling to give up, Clark looked at the two and said, "Have you forgotten Delos and Lex?" Maybe we can turn to them for help. ”

"My dear, I have to admit that Delos's abilities are indeed similar to yours, but that doesn't mean he has the ability to deal with that man."

Martha shook her head and disagreed with Clark's statement: "And Lex is just an ordinary person, even if he is a rich man, he can't change this fact." He can't deal with Rickman, and if he helps us, he might even get into trouble because of it. ”

Hearing this, Clark fell silent. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only suppress the desire to ask for help.

Although the family wants to ask for help, the family also does not want to cause trouble to others because of this incident.

"There are still three days left before the contract execution time, so let's think about it."

Clark sighed, he still didn't want to give up, although this was a farm, it was his home for more than ten years. Until the end, he was unwilling to give up.

On the other hand, when the police sent someone to the vicinity of Alicia's house to pretend to be the unconscious Tim, Delos also made two mental hints to the superpowered man.

In the implication, Tim will not use his superpowers to escape. Not only that, but he will also voluntarily confess his guilt. However, if something happens that makes this hint useless, the second hint will automatically activate, controlling him to crash into the wall and faint with the entity.

So when the matter was over, Delos went to a café in the town and drank coffee.

And it just so happens that Lex is also busy with official business, so he often comes to the town café to relax and relax when he has time in the evening.

In this way, the two met.

However, after meeting, due to fear of surveillance from S.H.I.E.L.D., the two not only did they move very far away, but they even nodded after meeting and ignored each other.

However, it does not mean that the two have not communicated.

Lex secretly touched his watch from an angle that ordinary people couldn't see, and stopped the operation of the mental shielding device. Then, Deloth's voice came to his mind.

"Tim's matter is settled, and some of the problems on the police's side are up to you. Such superpowers cannot fall into the hands of other forces. ”

"That's on me."

Lex mentally replied, "By the way, is your observation over?" ”

"Not yet."

As he drank the coffee handed to him by the waiter, Delos said in his heart, "Many of these people are emotionally unstable. Rushing to assemble them is very likely to cause an accident. ”

"Also, I'm going to have to get in touch with the Katchi girl named Kayla Willowbrook. You mentioned in your report that this girl always discouraged the staff and went to the underground cave to take pictures, and you and I both know that the cave can be dangerous, and I always have a bad feeling about this, and I need more information. ”

"Aren't you going to wait a while?"

Lex agrees with Delos's approach, though he thinks it's a bit risky.

"Based on the instrumental detection, we only know that this Kayla Willowbrook is a meteorite-infected superpower, but we don't know what her superpower is. You should know that some superpowers are very strange and dangerous, just a few months ago, a man was infected by a meteorite and had the ability to carbonize people who came into contact with his skin into ashes. If it weren't for the fact that he committed suicide for some psychological reasons, I would have found a way to lock him up or kill him outright. ”

"Delos, know that even you can't resist this ability."

"I know, so I'm very careful with these superpowers a lot of the time."

Delos replied in his heart, "I have almost died from this before, so I will not make the same mistake. ”

Just then, a handsome black-haired man in a black suit and a long black trench coat walked into the café. When he saw Lex contemplating with coffee, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Without much thought, the man took the initiative to walk up to Lex and stretched out his hand to the latter. Laughed:

"Long time no see, Lex."

"Hello, Bob Rickman. It's been a long time since we did, but I'm sorry I'm not interested in shaking hands with someone like you. ”

Lex, who was interrupted from communicating, was in a bad mood when he saw someone coming. So he didn't hesitate to stab the other party, and the Bob frowned.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lex continued, "So I suggest you don't bother me, and get out of here before I get in trouble with you!" ”
