American comics start with Superman

Chapter 9, Lex's Gift

However, a series of 'dang lang lang lang' sounds came from Chloe's ears, like bullets hitting a thick steel plate.

She touched her body subconsciously and found that she was fine, then opened her eyes, a figure stood in front of Chloe, and he was the one who blocked the bullets.

"what's the situation?"

Not only Chloe, but many people present watched helplessly as the gangster shot at the two teenagers.

But to everyone's surprise, these bullets hit the two of them, as if hitting a steel plate, making the sound of metal impact, like a miracle.

"My God, are these two lads wearing body armor?"

"No, it looks like they don't have body armor under their coats."

"Oh my god, are they invulnerable bodies of steel?"

The crowd let out a series of exclamations, and the police officers present all stood up one after another. Sergeant James was even more surprised and speechless. He very much suspected that the person who called himself 'Avenger' was his nephew.

But how could his nephew be invulnerable?
This unscientific!

Although Li Ya can resist bullets, he only has 40.00% of Superman's current ability, and his defense power is only 40.00%. Although the bullets can't break the skin, it still hurts when it hits the body!
"You gangsters, you have failed this town!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Ya rushed out, with super speed and super strength, three punches and two kicks knocked these gangsters down, and Clark rushed into the bank immediately after making sure that his editor, Chloe, was fine. The remaining hostages were freed and the bomb was defuse.

When the crisis was resolved, the police immediately surrounded them, handcuffing those who should be handcuffed, and sending those who should be sent to the hospital.

Chloe looked at Clark more affectionately, and said, "You're called Superman, right? Thank you for saving me."

"Hey, you two!" A black police officer walked up to Li Ya and Clark and said loudly: "Leave the contact information of the two of you, especially you, the guy who claims to be an Avenger, you broke that person's bones Now, his medical expenses should be borne by you!"

"Insurance will accompany you, why are you looking for me?"

Li Ya knew that the black police officer was obviously trying to set their identities, so naturally he wouldn't be fooled, and exchanged a look with Clark.

"run!"

The two of them understood, and there were two sounds of "swish" piercing through the air, and they disappeared in place in an instant.

A gust of cold wind was left on the face of the black police officer, and he slapped it indiscriminately.

The people around felt the two gusts of wind leaving, and a series of applause erupted immediately. They didn't know whether they were applauding for them to punish the gangsters and rescue the hostages, or because they escaped under the police's questioning.

Li Ya and Clark ran all the way to the Kent farm before stopping. The two walked towards the farm while chatting about what happened just now.

Obviously, Superman is very happy to be a vigilante today. While realizing his self-worth, he also helped others.

On the farm, his father, Jonathan Kent, was thrashing wheat with a machine. When he heard someone approaching, he looked up and said with a smile, "Hi, Clark... Li Ya, are you recovered?"

"Emmm... just removed the plaster." Li Ya put on a weak expression.

Clark on the side laughed out loud: "Sorry, Li Ya, I told my family that you also have superpowers, but don't worry, they will keep it a secret."

"Clark, why are you telling me now?" Li Ya glared at Superman. He wasn't worried that the Kent couple would reveal his secret. After all, the couple had kept Clark a secret all his life.

"I apologize again, I'm sorry, I know someone has super powers like me, I'm overjoyed." Clark explained, he walked towards the inside of the farm, and suddenly found a brand new truck.

"Dad, you bought this car? Can you drive it for me?"

The industry in the United States is developed, and the price of ordinary cars is very affordable. Even a high school student from a slightly better family can buy a second-hand car by saving money for a month.

Clark's family background is middle-of-the-road, but Ken's father is an honest farmer with some machismo. He stubbornly believes that there is no need for the family to buy a new car, unless Clark is admitted to university, he is allowed to buy a new car.

Many of his peers have their own cars, so Clark is also eager to own a car. Now he is very happy to see a brand new truck in his backyard.

Father Ken's face darkened, "That child from the Luther family gave it to you, saying that it was a thank you for saving your life. But Clark, I ask you to return it to him."

"Why? I saved his life!" Clark didn't understand his father's request.

"You shouldn't ask for rewards for helping people, and I don't want you to have any contact with the Luther family!"

Mainly Lex's father, Lionel Luthor, is a profiteer who has entrapped the townspeople more than once, so Ken's father, who has a sense of justice, has prejudice against the Luthor family.

In fact, Ken's father's judgment is very correct. Lex will indeed become Superman's number one enemy in the future, but neither side has realized it yet.

Li Ya stepped forward to pat Clark on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Clark, I think your father is right. Once the act of helping others is mixed with interests, it will completely change the taste, and... I can say that I think Lex is Is it dark inside?"

"Okay, listen to you, I'll go and return the car."

Facts have proved that for a rebellious youth, the advice of friends is far easier to listen to than the advice of parents, and Superman is no exception.

Father Ken handed the truck keys to Clark, and at the same time said to Li Ya: "Li Ya, if it's convenient, come to my house for dinner at night. Clark can find a friend who can play well. I, as a father, feel very happy."

"No problem, Mr. Kent." Li Ya was not pretentious, and agreed generously.

Clark took the car keys and started the truck. Li Ya also sat on it, and drove to Lex's house with Clark, and returned the truck to him.

Along the way, Clark touched the steering wheel with a touch of sentimentality, and Li Ya in the passenger seat patted him on the shoulder, "If you really want a car, let's find a part-time job together starting next month and scrape together the money." , it shouldn’t be long before you can buy a second-hand car.”

"Isn't the vigilante our part-time job?" Clark smiled and showed a pair of canine teeth.

"It's impossible for robberies to happen every day, the law and order in our town is not that bad!" Li Ya joked.

After today's bank robbery incident, Li Ya found that the friendship value between Clark and him has increased a lot, reaching 40.00%.

The higher the friendship value is, the more difficult it is to increase. It is estimated that it is impossible to upgrade to the highest level of life-and-death friendship without fighting side by side for five or six years.

Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with being friends with Superman. On the contrary, through this period of contact, Li Ya feels that the Superman in his mind is more three-dimensional, more flesh and blood.

Because the image of Superman in his heart is no longer a serious face, a symbol of invincible combat power, but a person who also has the troubles of his youth and is gradually growing into a great hero.

"It's great to witness your growth." Li Ya said in a low voice.

Clark held the steering wheel in his hand, didn't pay attention to Li Ya's words, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I'll let you concentrate on driving. If you have a driver's license, my wealth and life are in your hands!"

"I haven't taken my driver's license yet, but I often help my dad transport vegetables to the market. I have three years of driving experience!"

Li Ya smiled and shook his head when he heard this. After driving through a curve ahead, his vision suddenly opened up. In the center of a wide artificial grassland, there is an old English-style castle.

"That's Lex Luthor's house? My God, it's really poverty that limits my imagination, it's too embarrassing!"
