Just when Delos was helpless that he didn't have a chance to play, the Kent family on the other side was in a bad situation at the moment.

The bad thing here wasn't that their lives were threatened, but that Jonathan found out that he had actually signed a contract to sell the farm.Not only that, according to the content of the contract, he could only get ten thousand US dollars!The $100 million that Bob told him before was a complete lie!

"Jonathan!"

After Martha saw the contract in front of her, she couldn't help but raised her voice emotionally and called out to her husband. She said with disbelief on her face: "How can you make a decision without consulting me?! Who told me this?" It’s a ‘family heirloom’, so it can’t be sold?”

Jonathan lowered his head in embarrassment and helplessness under his wife's scolding, but this could not eliminate the anger in Martha's heart.

"This farm is actually only worth [-] US dollars. You should know that if our family were to find a house to live outside, [-] US dollars would not be able to sustain our lives for very long."

At this time, Clark, who had just finished his date with Chloe, opened the door and heard his adoptive mother yelling crazy and accusing his adoptive father.Since he only heard the rest of Martha's words, he didn't understand why his adoptive mother was so angry for a while.

"Your dad sold the farm to Bob Rickman."

After Martha finished explaining, she still stared at Jonathan with an unhappy face, which made the latter have the urge to find a crack in the ground to hide.

"I don't know what happened."

Jonathan stroked his forehead in distress: "I told him before that there was no way, but in the end I signed a contract with him inexplicably."

"I just called our lawyer and asked."

Martha took a deep breath, resisted the urge to hit her husband hard with her fist, and said, "He said he had to read the contract before he could think of a way to help us. But don't use 'confused' as an excuse. That excuse won't hold up in court."

Jonathan's face was full of bitterness: "I don't know why I signed this contract."

"What did that Rickman do to you?" Clark intuitively felt that something was wrong, and he personally disliked this person, so he called Bob by his last name.

"I don't know either." Jonathan took a deep breath, rubbed his still aching head and said, "He explained his intention to me, then we shook hands, and then I signed the contract."

"It can't be that simple."

Clark made it clear that he didn't believe that just because of this, the farm was sold.He knew that his adoptive father cared about this farm and would not sell the farm unless he had to.

"Otherwise, how do you explain my signature?"

Hearing this, Martha's urge to knock someone came up again.

"Maybe he's a mutant."

Clark narrowed his eyes and expressed the first thought that came to his mind: "I read in the news that there are mutants who can control other people's behavior, and even control other people's memories and minds. Dad, maybe you are the one who was... Rickman took control.”

After Clark said that, Jonathan and Martha suddenly felt their eyes light up.But not long after, their eyes darkened again.

"If that's the case, then Rickman is dangerous."

Jonathan sighed and said: "Even if I argue with him, it's probably useless. If he can control me because of this ability, he can naturally control the minds of lawyers and even judges."

Martha obviously agreed with what Jonathan meant, and she had more on her mind.

"Clark, with that kind of character. If we use this statement to make excuses for each other, it will not only be us, but also the people we know will most likely suffer."

There is no way, mind control, memory manipulation and other abilities are really terrifying.Not to mention ordinary people, even the vast majority of superpowers don't want to face this kind of ability.

"Not necessarily, Mom."

Clark was unwilling to give up. He looked at the two of them and said, "Have you forgotten Delos and Lex? Maybe we can ask them for help."

"My dear, I have to admit that Delos' ability is indeed very similar to yours, but this does not mean that he has the ability to deal with that person."

Martha shook her head at Clark's

The statement expressed disapproval: "And Lex is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a rich man, it can't change this fact. He can't deal with Rickman, and he might even get into trouble for helping us."

Hearing this, Clark fell silent.Even if he felt unwilling to do so, he could only suppress his desire to ask for help.

Although this family wants to ask others for help, this family also does not want to cause trouble to others because of this matter.

"There are still three days left before the contract is executed. Let's think of a solution."

Clark sighed, he still didn't want to give up. Although this was a farm, it had been his home for more than ten years.He was never willing to give up until the end.

On the other side, when the police sent people to the vicinity of Alicia's house to carry away the unconscious Tim, Delos also made two spiritual hints to the superpower.

It is hinted that Tim will not use super powers to escape.Not only that, he would also take the initiative to plead guilty.However, if some accident occurs and this hint is useless, the second hint will automatically activate, controlling him to actively hit the wall with the entity and faint.

So when things came to an end, Delos went to a coffee shop in the town and drank coffee.

And coincidentally, Lex is also busy with official duties, so he often comes to the town cafe to relax and unwind when he has time in the evening.

Just like that, the two met.

However, after the meeting, due to fear of surveillance from SHIELD, the two not only stayed very far away, but also just nodded and ignored each other after meeting.

Even so, it does not mean that the two have no communication.

Lex secretly touched his watch at an angle that ordinary people could not see, and stopped the operation of the mental shielding device.Then, Delos's voice appeared in his mind.

"Tim's matter has been resolved, and some of the problems with the police will depend on you. This type of superpower cannot fall into the hands of other forces."

"That's all on me."

Lex replied in his mind: "By the way, are you finished with your observation?"

"not yet."

While drinking the coffee handed to him by the waiter, Delos said in his heart: "Many of these people are emotionally unstable. If you gather them rashly, something will happen."

"In addition, I have to get in touch with the girl of Kachi descent named Kayla Willowbrook. You mentioned in the report that this girl always ignored the staff's dissuasion and ran to the underground cave to take pictures. You and I both know that. I have a bad feeling that the cave might be dangerous and I need more information."

"Aren't you going to wait a little longer?"

Lex also agreed with Delos' approach, but he felt that it was still a bit too risky.

"Based on instrument detection, we only know that Keira Willowbrook is a superpower infected by a meteorite, but we don't know what her superpower is. You should know that some superpowers are very weird and dangerous. Just a few days ago A few months ago, a man was infected by a meteorite and had the ability to carbonize people who came into contact with his skin into ash. If he had not committed suicide due to some psychological reasons, otherwise I would have found a way to lock him up or directly Kill him."

"Dillos, you must know that even you cannot resist this ability."

"I know, so I'm very careful when facing these superpowers."

Delos replied in his mind: "I've almost died because of this before, so I won't make the same mistake."

Just then, a handsome black-haired man wearing a black suit and a long black trench coat walked into the coffee shop.After seeing Lex meditating with a cup of coffee, the corner of his mouth curled up.

Without thinking much, the man walked up to Lex and extended his hand to the latter.smiled and said:

"Long time no see, Lex."

"Hello, Bob Rickman. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in shaking hands with someone like you."

Lex, whose communication was interrupted, suddenly felt bad when he saw the visitor.So he stabbed the other person without hesitation, causing Bob to frown.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lex continued: "So I suggest you leave me alone and get out of here before I cause you trouble!"
