Chapter 276: I've got a showdown!
Levi just smiled at Clark's doubts.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's more pleasing to the eye."
Clark thought it was a little incredible.
Is it just because of such a simple reason that you are so helpful to yourself?
Although ridiculous, it even made Clark a little unbelievable.
But he didn't say much in the end.
After all, Clark really couldn't figure out what he had in him that was worth such a ......
Clark does know that he is a Kryptonian, and he is trying to hide his difference.
However, in Clark's imagination, once his Kryptonian identity is discovered, he will definitely not be greeted by his current state.
It's the guns of the military, the eyes of rejection......
However, Clark has already made up his mind in his heart, even if there is nothing in "Harlem" that he needs to help now, when the other party is in trouble in the future, as long as he does not violate his own principles, he must do his best to help him!
"By the way, Director Harlem, I wonder if you have time for the night?" Clark stopped Levi, who was about to turn away, "My mother wants to invite you to our house for dinner."
Levi originally planned to rely on a long period of subtle subtlety to bring Clark into his camp.
But when he heard that Clark had invited him to dinner with his family, Levi knew he had almost succeeded!
After all, although Clark said that his mother had invited Levi, if Clark himself did not agree, he could have left Levi alone, and then went back to tell his mother that Levi had rejected their invitation.
Even if Levi is not his friend now, at least he is definitely not a passerby.
Naturally, Levi had no reason to refuse.
He nodded, and happily agreed.
Naturally, there were no waves for the rest of the day.
It wasn't until the end of the day that Levi "borrowed" the car from him, the deputy director, and waited for Clark in front of the Planet Daily building early.
As Levi expected, he and Clark had been in close contact for a few days, and they didn't trigger any reaction from the Hero Mall system at all.
In other words, for Clark, there is no hero template recommended by the store.
But it just so happens that Levi doesn't want to load the hero template on Clark's body right now.
There is no hurry.
Clark walked out of the Planet Daily building after work and saw Levi who had parked his car on the side of the road and was waiting for him.
"Clark, here!" Levi sat in the car and greeted Clark.
Naturally, this scene also fell into the eyes of other employees of the Planet Daily.
They all showed envious eyes.
For Li Wei, the new supervisor, these employees naturally know each other.
And Clark used his opportunity to explain to everyone what it means to climb to the sky in one step.
Just because the new supervisor looked at Clark well, Clark went from an intern who was unknown whether he could even become a regular to the current project manager.
Of course, it is not that no one has wondered if Levi has a problem with his sexual orientation......
A male reporter with the same sexual orientation was moved by such thoughts.
But after the male reporter was mercilessly kicked out of the building by Levi and fired, everyone had no other ideas!
Levi is really just looking at Clarke's eyes!
But then again, the male reporter with a problem with his sexual orientation was disgusting enough for Levi!
Clark stepped forward and pulled the door open and sat in the passenger seat.
Although he has far more strength than ordinary people and various physical qualities.
But Clark never looked down on people from the perspective of a "god"!
Instead, he is trying his best to fit in with human society.
At least, in front of Levi, Clark was very careful and did not sit in the back seat of the car.
It has to be said that Clark's adoptive parents were really successful in his education!
If you think about it empathically, if Levi is in Clark's position, although he will not completely throw himself into Krypton, he will not be able to avoid becoming a native of the motherland.
Levi started the car and, under Clark's guidance, drove towards Clark's home!
On the way, to Clark's surprise.
Levi didn't talk to him about work, but instead cared about his private life.
"Clark, are you talking about a girlfriend?"
Speaking of this, Clarke's face was actually a little shy.
"Not yet, I just graduated before, my job hasn't stabilized yet, and it's not suitable for a girlfriend."
Levi then asked.
"Is there anyone you like? Isn't there a type you like when there are so many people in our Planet Daily Building?"
Clark was silent for a moment, then whispered.
"Yes, yes, I'm just worried that I'm not worthy of her......
Levi: ......
Are there people in this world that you don't deserve?
You are the ceiling of Earth's combat power in the normal plot!
When the aliens invaded, you said that the president of the beautiful country would come and sleep for you, and that old gang had to come!
But Levi didn't ask about Clark's girlfriend because he had any thoughts about Clark.
It's because he wants to confirm what stage Clark is now.
"Oh? Who is it?" Li Wei pretended not to know, and continued to ask with a gossip on his face.
"She's also a journalist, her name is Louise, she's so good......
When Levi heard Clark mention Louise's name, he knew that Clark was probably able to absorb the sun's rays and recover himself.
It's not just about super strength and a physique that surpasses ordinary people.
Levi naturally knew Louise as a person.
Louise was Clark's girlfriend in the original plot.
It is also the focus of Levi's attention.
It's just that, unlike him to Clark, in order to prevent Clark from misunderstanding the two parties with Louise himself, he only paid attention to Louise secretly and did not take special care of her.
Although Levi disagrees with Clarke's statement that he is worried that he is not worthy of the other party, it is true that Louise is very good.
Clark was so easily turned positive because of Levi's appearance.
Unlike Louise, she stayed on her own to work at the Planet Daily.
Moreover, Louise's family is no ordinary family.
Her father's name is Sam Lane, and he is a general in the pretty *** side.
General Ryan is in charge of a secret mission in the Pretty Country, which is precisely the third type of contact event related to aliens.
"Oh? Louise?" Levi's thoughts turned, and he turned his head to look at Clark. "I know her, why don't you just confess to her instead of worrying about it here?"
The current Clark can only be said to have reached the level of superhuman in terms of combat effectiveness, but he is still at the level of a recent college graduate mentally.
Hearing Levi's proposal, he hurriedly waved his hand at Levi.
"No, no, I'm afraid Louise will reject me......
Levi just smiled at Clark's reaction and didn't say much.
But in his heart, he had already made up his mind that when he went to work tomorrow, he would help Clark!
As for whether Louise will reject Clark?
No kidding!
Even if Clark is not Superman, with his handsome face, I'm afraid that any woman with a normal sexual orientation will not be able to refuse him!
The two talked and laughed like this, but it eliminated the strangeness between the two
sense and distance.
And Clark finally felt the feeling of a friend in Levi......
The more unserious the topic of making friends, the faster the relationship between the two people will heat up!
Even if Levi hadn't known that Clark was a decent man, he would probably have been able to take Clark to the red-light district......
When Levi drove all the way to Clark's house and parked the car on the side of the road.
At this time, an old lady was already waiting for the two of them in front of the house.
It's none other than Clark's adoptive mother, Martha!
As early as the afternoon, Clark called Martha on the phone and told her in advance.
Although Martha is over the age of six, there are already a lot of gray hairs in her hair.
But this old lady is worthy of being the one who can adopt Clark, and she still has an indescribable elegance in her.
Martha was also surprised when she saw her son Clark and another young man get out of the car.
Because of Clark, the family has been moving since Clark was a child, and they have gone to more places and seen more people and things.
Martha is well aware of exactly where the Daily Planet stands in the media industry of the Met.
In her imagination, Clark's supervisor should be an old man over half a hundred years old, or at least a middle-aged man.
But she didn't expect that Levi was actually a young man!
It doesn't even look a few years older than Clark!
However, Martha reacted quickly, and instead of continuing to dwell on the problem, she walked quickly towards Clark and Levi.
"It's Mr. Haring, right?" The old lady smiled and looked at Levi. "You're welcome to our home."
In fact, Li Wei still admires this old man very much in his heart.
Because if it weren't for her and Clark's adoptive father, who adopted and taught Clark, then with Clark's combat power, I'm afraid it would not be the patron saint of the earth and mankind, but a natural disaster!
If you really want to be more serious, this old man is kind to all life on earth!
Levi didn't have any arrogance about this old man, and greeted the other party politely.
"Thank you very much for having me, Ms. Martha, it's an honor for you."
If anyone in Gotham City saw this scene at this time, they would definitely be shocked to drop their jaws.
This is Levi, the director of Arkham Asylum?
I must have not woken up and dreamed!
And only those who really know Levi know that this is actually Levi's true face.
In the absence of a conflict of interest, you don't mess with him, Levi is very polite to everyone.
After exchanging pleasantries, Martha took Clark and Levi back home.
Martha had already prepared dinner.
Although it is not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, this home-cooked dinner also has a unique flavor.
At least, with Levi's understanding of Clark's family's financial situation, this is the limit of what Martha can do.
The three of them were seated separately.
"Mr. Haring, thank you so much for taking a fancy to my son Clark." Martha was the first to thank Levi.
Levi smiled and shook his head.
"Lady Martha, it's not that I'm biased in favor of Clark, he just lacks a platform to show his abilities, I just provide him with a platform just right."
"Now the project that Clark is in charge of has become the most profitable section of the entire planet daily!"
"So, if it's strictly speaking, Clark deserves everything he has now."
Levi's words were so beautiful that Clark gave him a grateful look.
Only Clark himself knows that his superhuman physique is never his mother's pride, but will make his mother worry that he is getting into trouble outside.
Compared to what she did to do justice, her mother hoped more
I can achieve something in my career.
Clark also knows that although his talent as a journalist is not bad, he is far from what he is now.
All of this was given to him by "Harlem".
In Clark's heart, the current Levi is simply kind to him!
Especially when Clark saw his mother, Martha's eyes were full of relief when he looked at him, and this gratitude was even greater!
The sedan chair is carried by everyone.
Eventually, with the utmost goodwill on both sides, the dinner ended in an unusually congenial atmosphere.
And Clark's mother, Martha, likes the young man "Harlem" more and more!
It's not the kind of love that men and women love.
It's a kind of elders' liking for juniors!
Levi wasn't much older than Clark, and to Martha, both were children.
Although she didn't know why Levi was able to become the director of the planet daily at such a young age, since he was a good person, why not let Clark be friends with the other party?
After dinner, Martha invited Levi to come back to their house in two days.
And Levi agreed.
Then Clark personally sent Levi out the door.
"Thank you, Mr. Haring." Clark thanked sincerely, "I really don't know how to thank you!"
Levi smiled and waved at him.
Then he paused for a moment before speaking to Clark.
"Clark, if I told you that I lied to you, would you still think that?"
"Huh?" Clark's expression froze.
This reversal came so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared for it.
Deceived yourself? What did you lie to yourself?
Seeing this, Levi continued.
"I'm not actually called Haring, my real name is Levi, of course, I just lied to you by name, I didn't lie to you about other things, I have no ill will towards you."
Clark reacted at this point, scratching his head a little dazedly.
"Why do you use a fake name?"
Levi shrugged.
"Just to keep some nasty people from knowing I'm here."
Clark pondered for a moment, then smiled again.
"Mr. Levi, what exactly your name is doesn't make much difference to me, no matter what, your help has been great to me, and I still appreciate you."
Clark thought clearly.
Since Levi can appear in a big company like Planet Daily openly, then he must not be a wanted criminal.
In that case, Levi's use of a fake name may have been due to some other trouble.
Is it because of this that I have to ignore the help that Mr. Levi has given him?
Clark felt that his upbringing did not allow him to think so!
