Chapter 81: The Price of Clark's Wish
As the ring vanished, the evil that had risen high in Clark's heart quickly vanished, and the hideous look on his face vanished.
After a few seconds of confusion and confusion, panic prevailed.
"I ...... What did I do. β
Although it was still dark in front of him, it did not prevent Clarke, who had returned to normal, from flipping through his own memories, remembering his bad attitude towards his parents, remembering his insulting remarks towards his younger brother, and even fighting him.
"And those hurtful words......"
David breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the eldest son was back to normal, Jonathan and Martha hurried over.
"Son, are you okay?"
The two hugged Clark with urgency and concern on their faces and asked David.
"It's fine."
Jonathan looked up and down, and the youngest son did not even have a piece of clothing torn from beginning to end.
On the other hand, on the eldest son's body, his upper clothes were almost torn, his eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, and tears continued to flow out under the stimulation, which was very embarrassing.
"Mom and Dad, David, I'm sorry."
Clark heard the familiar heartbeat and hugged his parents, panicked by his blindness, and felt sad and regretful about what he had done and said.
"It's okay, kid.
We all know it's not you. β
Stopping his confession, Martha comforts the eldest son.
"Clark, what's going on?"
Jonathan asks what happened.
"It's the ring...... That ring ......"
Clark only knew that it was the ring, and he became crazy when he took it, and his normal consciousness was suppressed, like a split personality, but he couldn't say the specific reason.
"It's supposed to be a meteorite."
David walked over slowly and took over.
"I can't think of any other reason than the meteorite that came with Clark to Earth could affect him."
"But......," Jonathan thought, isn't all meteorites green?
But just because I haven't seen it before doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Now it seems that the green meteorite affects Clark's physiology, and the red meteorite affects Clark's psyche?
"David, I'm sorry."
Like a child in trouble, Clark couldn't help but apologize when he heard David approaching.
"It's okay, it's not me who was injured anyway."
David said this, but his brow was still furrowed.
Not angry at Clark's actions.
"Clark made a wish, and I don't know what the price will be."
"My eyes ......"
Clark could have barely opened his swollen peach-like eyes and seen a blurry view, but as the sun shone in, the injury subsided and the corners of his eyes became swollen, and his eyes became dark.
He reached out and touched it in a panic.
"Clark, what's wrong with you?"
"My eyes can't see."
"Is it because my brother is too heavy?" The couple looked at each other, a little panicked.
David frowned.
His rays of energy can burn other people's eyes, but they can't inflict a heavy blow on Clark's eyes so easily.
And it's daytime.
"No ......"
Clark remembered something, opened his gray eyes, moved his mouth, and there was an inexplicable calm on his face, as if he was relieved after being punished for doing something wrong.
"This is the price of my wish."
As a price for making a wish, his eyesight was taken away.
"What?"
Looking at their son's gray eyes, Jonathan and his wife were shocked and couldn't accept: "Could it be that Clark will be blind in your eyes permanently." β
"Maybe that's the best."
Clark caressed his mother's cold hand and soothed her, smiling at the family, although he was a little uneasy about his blindness.
He worries about his misdeeds and asks the Wishstone to charge the price from his parents and younger brother.
"If it's just my eyes, it's not so unacceptable."
"It shouldn't be permanent."
David frowned and reminded.
The source of the Wish Stone is the Greek god of lies, and if it is the god-king Zeus, perhaps his power is better than that of the normal superman.
But most of the other gods don't have the ability to take Clarke's talent away forever.
"It's okay, David.
I still have ears. β
In the past, the injury would recover after a hundred attempts in the sun, but this time it didn't work, and Clark thought that his brother was just comforting him.
He lacks one sense, but he also has super hearing.
"Just give me some time, and I'll be like an able-bodied person."
It won't have much impact on his life.
β¦β¦
As always, David cleaned up the traces left by the engagement, making sure it wasn't exposed.
Clark did as he said, although he was not skilled, but in only two or three days, he looked like a normal person, and almost no one could tell that he was blind except for the sunglasses he wore and the guide stick.
It doesn't even have much impact on life.
A week later, the two successfully completed the exam, and the results were not very top-notch, just the first-class and excellent level among everyone.
If you want to do better, it doesn't take any effort to do anything to the two, but it's not necessary, and it will be somewhat noticeable.
"That's a good result."
At home, in front of the computer screen, Jonathan looked at the report cards of his two sons, nodded with a hint of pride on his face.
"I know that if you are for money, you can make tens of millions of dollars a year if you become a sports star casually.
Well, it's much more capable than me, a farmer who can only fiddle with farm tools. β
Finally, he nodded knowingly, jokingly.
"Son, what are your plans for the holidays?"
Martha, who had a smile on her face, asked her two sons gently, no matter what other aspects, the two sons never let her and Jonathan worry a little bit about their studies.
As for college life, the couple has always believed that it will not be a problem for both sons.
It's just that I went to school in another place, and both sons applied for Metropolitan State University, which is not far from Smallville, and it doesn't take more than an hour for ordinary people to ride a bicycle, which is almost at the doorstep of the house.
At most, the college life of the two sons will encounter a little youthful trouble, and it seems that it is time to fall in love at the age of eighteen.
"Chloe was going to work as an intern reporter at the Met's Global Daily during the holidays, and she wanted to hire me as her assistant."
Clark remembered what Chloe had said to herself.
"Journalists?"
David raised his eyebrows, Clark and the journalist who hid his identity in the future are going to be in contact so early, it seems that they have been connected for a long time?
"What's wrong?
Although I have lost my eyesight, I promise that I have learned more about listening. β
Clark thought his brother didn't think he was suitable for the job and laughed.
The loss of his eyesight gave him more appreciation for the disadvantaged people he had not paid attention to before.
"Think about how much I resisted the talent of being beyond the ordinary......"
He shook his head as he spoke.
Compared to those who were born with disabilities, this little trouble was nothing.
"Perhaps, as my father said, God has given me a talent that is different, and I have to learn to accept it...... Or even do something with it. β
Clark muttered, a hint of maturity and seriousness flashing across his face.
Listening to his tone, Davy looked surprised.
"It seems that this blindness is only for a few days, but it seems to bring Clark closer to the path of tomorrow's children."
In the past, although Clark was kind, he was still in middle school, and he had his own campus troubles, and he didn't have many ideas to take the initiative to help others, but now he feels the same way?
"You want to be a masked vigilante like Gotham's Batman?"
He thought about what Clark would look like if he started fighting crime in the Metβa super-enhanced version of Daredevil?
"No, I haven't figured it out yet."
Clark scratched his head.
For the vigilante or something, he is still a little hesitant for the time being, entering the public eye to show extraordinary ability, he is afraid of implicating the family, but he can't say it in the future.
After all, people's minds change.
"What about you?"
Clark asked, tilting his head in the direction his brother was sitting.
"Me?
I'm probably going on a trip. β
David looked out the window, the blue sky in the distance, the white clouds, and the gaze crossed the mountains to the distance.
"Tourism?"
[59% of the template has been fused]
"If I can make a transcendent race fluctuate because of me all the time, my ability fusion speed should increase by leaps and bounds!"
There are at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands of Amazonian female warriors on Paradise Island, and there is more than one transcendent race on Earth, such as the Atlantis Undersea Race......
