Chapter 40: Mentor Gaoli, Renew the Three Views
That night, Gouri and Zatanna returned to the Kent house with a bruised and swollen Clarke.
One is that Clarke, who has returned to normal, is full of guilt and is eager to apologize to his adoptive parents; Second, he also wanted to ask the Kent couple how they picked him up back then; Thirdly, Clark also told them that he would follow Gouri to the North Pole tomorrow.
"Oh, oh my God...... Clarke! What's wrong with you, my poor child? ”
When Martha opened the door, her first reaction when she saw Clark was to cover her mouth in distress, she had never seen Clark look so miserable.
"Don't worry, you'll be able to recover by basking in the sun tomorrow morning." Goori interjected.
Only then did the Kents notice the two behind Clark, and Jonathan frowned.
"You ...... You guys look like you're looking for Clark during the day, right? ”
"yes," Gouri shrugged, "I said we were Clark's buddies, and you still don't believe us." ”
Thinking that they were back with Clark, Jonathan felt that he might have misunderstood them.
"I apologize for my attitude during the day, mainly because I've seen almost all of Clark's friends, but your faces are relatively unfamiliar......"
"Clark, you haven't introduced us to your new friend yet." Martha said softly.
"This is Mr. Wayne, this is Miss Zatara," Clark said, "and...... Mom, I'm really sorry, Dad, I'm sorry I hurt you. ”
As he spoke, Clark lowered his head in shame, and Jonathan and Martha were both taken aback.
"Clark, you...... You've changed back? ”
Clark nodded silently, and the family hugged each other wordlessly.
The Kent couple then warmly invited Gouri and Zatanna into the house, and prepared a sumptuous tea and snacks for them before they had time to ask Clark.
"Clark, who beat you like this?"
"Uh......," Clark said, "it's Mr. Wayne, but he's doing it out of kindness, to help me recover." ”
The Kents also became reluctant to speak, thanking Gori for helping them turn Clark back, but also feeling that Gorie was too ruthless and extremely conflicted.
And they know very well that Clark is invulnerable, but he was beaten by Gaoli so much that he almost didn't even recognize his mother, on the other hand, Gaoli was unscathed, which ......
"Could it be that he's an alien too?" Jonathan muttered subconsciously.
Clark immediately heard clearly: "Dad, you really know that I'm an alien, right?" How the hell did you pick me up in the first place? ”
In the face of Clark's repeated insistence on questioning, the Kents could not hide it and told him what had happened that year.
"I've been hiding in the basement of the warehouse with that little spaceship on board, and I can take you to see it when your friend leaves."
"That's not going to work," Gori poked his head out like a ghost, "and the key to the ship is essential if you want to find the Fortress of Loneliness in the North Pole of Notda. ”
The Kents were taken aback and hurriedly looked back at Clark.
"Clark, Mr. Wayne also knows about your background? And what about the North Pole? ”
"I haven't had time to tell you yet," Clark scratched his head a little in embarrassment, "I'm going to the North Pole tomorrow with Mr. Wayne, where he says he can find answers about my origins." ”
Jonathan glanced at Gorry with extreme vigilance, and suddenly a new friend jumped out of him, saying that he was going to take his son to the North Pole, which was too much like child trafficking.
Gaoli also saw their worries, shook his head and said, "Relax, you see that I can beat Clark like that, and you can't stop him from doing anything you want to do." ”
"Even so, I'll bring him back to tell you first, it's enough to prove that I have no bad intentions, right?"
Jonathan hesitated, "That being said, we don't have that much savings to afford Clark to go to the North Pole ......"
Not to mention the cost of going to the North Pole, Clark almost couldn't pay off the credit card he swiped some time ago.
Gao Li said lightly: "It's okay, I'll reimburse the whole process, you don't have to feel indebted, just take it as a reward for the many people he has saved before." ”
Jonathan said solemnly: "I've always taught Clark that saving people should be done without expecting anything in return!" So ......"
"Why can't you ask for something in return for saving people?" Gouri interrupted him, "You asked your son to be a saint, did you ever think about what bad influence it would have on others?" ”
“…… Ha? What's wrong with this, it's obviously a very righteous thought! ”
Jonathan retorted unconvinced, how could he not know that he could still influence outsiders?
"There was a wise man in the ancient country of the East, who scolded his disciple for saving people but refused to pay him, and the wise man thought that this was a very bad example."
Gori's words made Jonathan even more confused, shouldn't saving people without expecting anything in return be a positive example?
Gouri explained: "You know, he saved people and refused to pay them, which brought him a good reputation. So what do others do after that when they are faced with a situation where they can save someone? ”
"If he saves people but receives a reward, he will naturally be compared to that disciple, thinking that he is much worse morally, and he still wants to repay him for saving people."
"In the long run, saving people becomes a thankless chore, and everyone but the true saints will give up saving people because of various concerns."
"This will lead to a lot of people who should have been able to be rescued, but in the end they can't be rescued, and it will also lead to a lot of people who could have been able to save people, but in the end they didn't do it, after all, you can't ask everyone to sacrifice themselves!"
The Kent couple and Clark were stunned by these words, and they had never considered it in this way.
But after thinking about it carefully, I have to admit that what Gao Li said seems to be very reasonable......
Could it be that they were wrong???
The rest of the night was spent in the contemplation of each of them, and Gori did not come to give them an ideological education lesson, and after eating refreshments, he took Zatana to leave.
When he got back to the hotel, he lay down in his room and clicked on the system interface that had just flashed a new prompt.
"It seems that my hard work in opening a company in the past six months has paid off...... actually gave an SS-level lottery directly! ”
Gao Li was immediately in good spirits, but when he thought about it, he felt that there was more to it than that.
It should also be added to the influence caused by the magic master, and the combination of beating Superman tonight allowed him to get a reward of up to SS rank!
"No matter, let's smoke!"
Gao Li's ceremonial handle was washed several times, and he worshiped the Sanqing Buddha God in his heart...... And after himself, he gave the order to turn the lottery machine.
Wait for the lottery machine to stop, and it will be broken down into a sky of light on the spot.
