Chapter 247: To Gotham

Clark's farewell journey was not smooth, even with Joseph with him.

Kent and Martha Sr. were reluctant to accept their son going to study so far away, and they preferred that Clark would live peacefully in the town in the future, and when they got married, they would get a smaller farm, which would be enough to feed a family of three.

But at this time, Clark has changed a lot from the original plot.

Now that he not only has good friends, but also has seen some scenery outside, in this case, it is obviously unrealistic for him to willingly guard the farm.

Young people yearn for excitement and freshness, and hate the same boring.

So after he expressed his emotions and thoughts very seriously, Old Kent and Martha finally had no choice but to accept the reality.

Due to the urgency of time, they could only hurriedly pack some clothes and stand together at the gate of the farm to watch their son go away.

"I just went to school."

Standing in front of the car door, Clark couldn't help but look back.

"Remember what I said, Clark."

Old Kent was stubborn, like the cattle he tended on the farm, "Don't do anything out of the ordinary." ”

"Got it."

This sentence re-occupied Clark's irritability and resistance, and he turned his head to get into the car.

"Wait!"

Martha suddenly rushed over and hugged her son, "Clark, you're a good boy, I'm sure you won't let us down, right?" ”

"Don't worry."

Clark thought of what Amber had said that night, "I know exactly what I'm going to do, Martha, and you'll be proud of me." ”

"Well, I love you, baby."

Martha held him and stood in place, and only let go of her hand after nearly half a minute, "When you come back, I'll prepare a big meal for you." ”

"I love you too, Martha."

Clark nodded, and finally pulled the car door and sat inside.

He looked at the two figures in the light and did not withdraw his gaze until he was out of sight.

"You're happy, kid, it's enough in Gotham to make many people envious of sleep."

Joseph looked at Clark through the rearview mirror, "Be glad that the chicks always leave the nest and fly alone." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Joseph."

Clark asked with some curiosity, "What kind of place is Gotham?" ”

"Gotham..."

Joseph was silent for a moment, as if organizing language: "Those who love it say it's heaven, and those who hate it say it's hell, and you have to see for yourself."

Kid, I want you to spend most of your time in school instead of going to bars with those little bastards. ”

"Of course, I don't like places that are too noisy."

Clark had no idea of a bar, just a place to drink.

"It's for the best."

Joseph nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go pick up your friends." ”

"Hmm."

The other side.

Amber didn't have as much trouble as Clark, but after a little talk, he got Anker's consent, and he didn't waste even a second except for the time to pack his clothes.

It's not that the Ankers don't care enough for him, but because they're reassured.

They believe that with Amber's ability to go to Gotham, they are also going to eat meat, not the one to be eaten.

Later, when Amber finds Jack with the lockbox, the guy is crouching under a tree and making a phone call.

"Hey, where's your luggage?"

"My uncle said that all the things belonged to him, including my clothes, so if he had to go to Gotham, he would cut ties with me."

Jack said it lightly.

His childhood was actually very miserable, his father was a gangster and died in a street shootout, and his mother was a street girl, and after giving birth to him, he ran away and disappeared.

Originally, Jack was going to be sent to a children's welfare home, but the dead ghost's father's brother took him here.

"It's okay, we'll buy a new one when we get there."

Amber thought about it, and simply put her suitcase at Frick's house and asked the other party to send it back later.

"I want the new Nike."

Jack waited with him on the side of the road.

"Okay."

Amber nodded slightly.

It is very convenient for him to get money, and it is definitely not possible to have a large amount of regular and legal money, but there is no problem with tens of thousands.

"If we can, can we go to the bar first after we go to Gotham?"

Jack's face was full of anticipation, "A friend of mine said that for a small amount of money over there, you can bring a teenage girl home. ”

"Jack, if you don't want to get sick, you'd better dispel these thoughts."

Amber put her glasses back on from the pocket of her clothes, "You know that Clark is special, and I want to guide him to the right path, and you can't make a mess of it." ”

"It's not a conflict, man."

Jack still wanted to quibble, but after saying that, he regretted it, he knew Amber's character very well, so he immediately changed his words: "Is it okay to have a normal relationship?" ”

"Of course you can, as long as you're not afraid to wear a hat."

Amber's words stunned him.

"Hats? What hats? Why be afraid? ”

Jack was puzzled.

It's just that he didn't get an answer, because Joseph's car had already arrived.

"Hey!"

Clark rolled down the window, looked at them empty-handed, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to go over like this?" ”

"Haha, Amber said she wanted to buy a new one."

Jack unceremoniously sat in the co-pilot.

"Damn it!"

Clark patted his forehead with a pretended annoyance, "I knew I wouldn't bring it either." ”

"Don't worry, it won't affect you."

Ambera drove the door to his side, "Just buy you a copy when you buy it." ”

"Well, no need for that, Martha said to be frugal outside."

Clark said as he pulled out a roll of dollars from his pocket, "This is the living expenses they gave..."

"Clark."

Amber suddenly pressed his hand, "We're brothers, aren't we?" Don't let any profit pollute this friendship. ”

"Oh, cool."

Joseph, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "This is the best sentence I have heard this year, you are all good boys, Evanston High School will be proud of you." ”

"Thank you."

Clark took the money back and took what he had just said to heart.

Amber was his only friend, and Jack was half.

It is true that this friendship cannot be tainted by anything.

More than ten minutes later.

The car pulled up in front of a wide flat field and listened to a small private jet not far away.

"Boys, your new life is about to begin, say goodbye here."

Joseph stood in front of the car and smiled at them.

"We'll be back, it's just a matter of time."

Amber shook her head slightly, and stepped into the cabin first, followed by Jack.

Clark turned his head to look at the town, his lips quivering at the point of not knowing what to say.

"Goodbye, Morwell."
