The Father of American Comics Superheroes Chapter 57: Depression
"Dear gentlemen! Ladies! And our lovely children! Next, please enjoy our special performance!"
"That's right, what you see before you is a mutant, a mutant monster that makes people scared and talks about it!"
"But please note that here, they are just for our pleasure... a magical species!"
Following the host’s words, a performer with a long whip in his hand gently flicked the whip and drew it on the back of a mutant.
The mutant has a hard shell on his harness and short limbs. It looks like a large tortoise standing up.
When the whip fell on him, he immediately lay down on the ground obediently, crawling around on the ground like a tortoise.
Seeing this scene, there was enthusiastic applause, but there were also many people who watched this scene and showed disgust.
Mike frowned, looked at Charles and Eric, and said: "Don't look, go!"
"Dad!" Charles looked pale and said: "Is he the same as us?"
At this moment, Mike wanted to say "No" to this kid, but in the end he nodded.
Because he knows that Charles and Eric already have the answer, the word "no" at this time is particularly pale and false, and now these two children need to be a person who can rely on and can let them avoid malicious Warm hug.
So he walked up to Charles and hugged Charles.
Charles was a little scared, but still showed a pair of eyes from Mike's shoulder and looked at the performance.
"These people are disgusting! These **** are raised!"
Eric cursed in a low voice, only feeling extremely angry.
At this moment, because of their mutant status, they can't help feeling the same.
Mike did not blame Eric for the swearing. Instead, he pressed Eric into his arms and said: "Control yourself, and don't run away with your ability."
Eric nodded, buried his head in Mike's arms, and stopped going to the show.
And Clark turned his head in disgust. He felt a little sick at this time, because in some respects, he and the mutants had a lot in common.
The performance continues.
In addition to the mutant at the beginning, there is another mutant.
The mutant's body has also been mutated. It has the antennae of insects, and her ability to blow out crystal-like bubbles, which are very beautiful under the light.
At this time, these two mutants are just like the animals that appeared before, performing a show for everyone amidst the sound of whips and whistles.
Eric shook his fist and suddenly said: "Dad, I want to save them!"
Mike groaned and said to Charles: "You can contact them and see what they mean."
Charles wiped his tears and looked at the mutant crawling on the ground.
I saw the mutant halted, his eyes began to search in the crowd, but with the whip, he continued to get up.
A few seconds later, Charles looked shocked, then looked at another person.
"How is it?"
Seeing that Charles's face is unsightly, Mike asked, but he had vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.
"They all refused."
"What?" Eric's eyes widened, and he whispered incredibly: "How is it possible?"
"They said that if they leave here, they will live a worse life. They don't even have enough food. Here, at least they can get some money." Charles said in pain, and sobbed quietly.
, as expected.
Mike sighed in his heart.
He picked up the two children and said to Clark: "Let's go."
staying here again, he is really afraid that Charles and Eric can't control their abilities and their abilities will run away.
Clark nodded, and walked out of the circus one after the other with Mike.
The performance on the stage has ended. The funny clowns came to the stage and ended the performance with exaggerated and funny moves, bringing joy to the people.
But the Kent family didn’t feel happy at all.
Leaving the circus, the feeling of suffocating Charles and Eric slowly dissipated.
Mike brought three people to a restaurant and ordered something to eat.
The three little guys have ugly faces, they just sip the juice without any appetite.
Clark looked at the two, sighed softly, and said to Mike: "Dad, why did they refuse?"
Hearing this question, Charles and Eric both looked up at Mike.
Mike took a sip of coffee, took a long breath, and said slowly: "You saved them, then what?"
Eric said excitedly: "Then they are free."
"Freedom? Freedom keeps them hungry and allows them to live? Just like them, do you think they can find a job to support themselves?"
Eric was silent, but Charles carefully said: "We can help them, we can help them live!"
"We saved these two, can that save all the mutants? Can you arrange jobs for all the mutants?"
Charles also fell silent.
At this moment, Eric looked at Mike firmly and said: "Then we will save everyone!"
Charles looked at Eric in shock~IndoMTL.com~ Feeling the lava-like heat in Eric's heart that will burst out at any time, he also clenched his fist and said: "Yes, we will save everyone!"
Mike looked at these two ambitions and smiled: "But not now."
"You must grow, grow to the point where you can fulfill this wish."
"But no matter what, as long as you are correct, Dad will support you!"
The two nodded heavily.
Mike rubbed their heads and said: "Eat, growth starts with filling your stomach."
"Hmm!"
The two of them responded and started to eat.
Clark's gaze swept from his father to his two younger brothers, his heart was extremely warm, and he was proud of having such a family.
After half an hour, the four of them filled their stomachs and left the restaurant.
The night is just right, and the city is still brightly lit.
Because it was approaching Christmas, they went around on the street, relaxed a bit, and drove home after seeing the time was late.
There is a distance from the villa where they live.
Fortunately, Mike's superb driving skills and fast speed made him near the villa area in a short while.
Driving along the winding road leading to the villa area, Mike looked back at Eric and Charles and saw that they were wide-eyed, not sleepy, as if thinking about something, and then smiled and shook Shook his head.
It seems that what happened tonight has given them a bit of a shock.
But if you want to change something, then go for it.
At this moment, Clark, who had been watching the front, changed his face and said: "Dad, get ready to stop!"
"How?"
"Save people!"
"Huh?"
