Jonathan and Martha had just finished lunch when they were greeted by several uninvited guests.
"Clark stole my necklace."
Lana, panting, immediately told Jonathan and Martha after entering the house.
Chloe and Pete also looked worried.
"I heard him mention Jessica, and his tone was very off," Pete told Jonathan.
"The new Lopez family are important witnesses under police protection. Maybe Clark realized something and wants to harm them," Chloe stated her hypothesis, "Though we don't know why he snatched Lana's necklace."
Upon hearing this, Jonathan exchanged a glance with his wife.
He sighed and shook his head, "It's not just Clark who fears kryptonite; Eric does too. And Eric is coming back from Gotham today."
As soon as she heard Eric's name, a panicked expression immediately appeared on Lana's face. "Uncle, are you saying Clark wants to harm Eric?"
"I can't be sure, but things have reached a critical point now," Jonathan said, quickly walking to a cabinet and pulling out a green meteorite.
"Clark isn't listening to anyone's opinions now; only we can stop him!"
"Gulp!" Pete swallowed, looking at Jonathan's serious expression. "Is it really that serious? Maybe, maybe we can wait for Eric to come back."
"It's too late, and Clark must have already prepared for Eric's arrival."
"Pete, you come with me to Jessica's house."
After putting on his coat, Jonathan called out to Pete to join him.
Pete glanced at Lana and Chloe, shrugged, and quickly followed Jonathan's footsteps.
Chloe and Lana, unwilling to wait for news at home, said goodbye to Martha and left the farm, heading towards Jessica's house.
Meanwhile, at Jessica's house.
After Clark knocked and entered, he ignored Jessica's hug, took off his sunglasses, and directly said, "I know why your father is on the run. Get that disk file and give it to me!"
"You!" Jessica couldn't understand why the boy she liked, who was so intimate with her a second ago, had become such a jerk the next second?!
"I don't know why you're doing this, Clark."
"It's simple, money!" Clark showed a very fake smile. "You know I need a lot of money to live when I leave here. My life won't be trapped here, Jessica. I need to make something of myself. You'll support me, right?"
"That will kill my dad! I won't give it to you."
The rebellious girl, who had always defied her father, unusually showed an attitude of protecting him. "You wish!"
"Phew!" Clark exhaled and shrugged, leaning half his hip on the dining table. "Everyone dies, not just your father, right?"
Bang!
The door suddenly burst open, and Jessica's father stood in front of his daughter, holding a pistol and aiming it at Clark.
"Get out of here, kid, you don't want to experience getting hurt!"
"Who do you think you are to convince me? Even my parents couldn't do it, why do you think you can?"
Clark tilted his head and chuckled softly. The next second, the other person's pistol appeared in his hand.
With a gentle squeeze of one hand, the pistol was crushed to pieces.
Casually throwing the pistol parts on the ground, Clark turned and activated his X-ray Vision to search the room.
"I don't like hide-and-seek. Where did you hide the disk? The ceiling, or the floor?"
Bang!
With one punch, the entire wall cabinet, along with the wall, was smashed, creating a huge hole.
"Not here?!"
He picked up the television with one hand and threw it at the man.
Jessica's father dodged backward, but the next second he was grabbed by the collar by Clark and lifted up.
"Why don't you save yourself and your daughter, and give me the thing? Huh?!" Clark's patience had run out, and he glared fiercely at the other person as he spoke.
Screech!
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car braking sharply outside in the yard.
Clark held the man up and looked outside.
He saw his father and Pete getting out of the car.
Especially Jonathan, who was holding a large hammer and quickly heading towards him.
It seemed the huge hammer was not for hitting a tractor, but for hitting him.
Clark smiled slightly, dropped Jessica's father, and faced Jonathan and his former best friend.
"Wow, it looks like my father and friend are coming to deal with me."
"You don't know what you're doing anymore, Clark."
Jonathan raised the hammer in his hand, aimed it at Clark, "I won't let you hurt anyone!"
Clark didn't take his father's threat to heart. Instead, he glanced at Jessica, who was helping her father up, and said to his father in a slow, unhurried tone, "You still want to order me around, but I'm not the Clark Kent I used to be!"
He then casually walked towards Jonathan.
Seeing his father's nervous expression, Clark tilted his head.
"You look a little scared?"
He paused for a moment, then said with a sudden realization, "Thinking about it seriously, both you and Mom are very afraid of me. Perhaps you've always thought Eric and I were monsters."
"No, we both love you very much."
Jonathan shook his head, "That's why I'm so heartbroken at this point!"
"Pete!" he shouted to Pete, who was on the other side.
Pete, who was already prepared, immediately pulled out the lead box and opened it, aiming it at Clark.
The moment the lead box opened, Clark immediately unleashed his Heat Vision.
Although exhaustion quickly hit him, he successfully destroyed the meteorite in the lead box.
The meteorite Jonathan had specially prepared for Clark was completely melted by Heat Vision.
Bang!
Enduring his physical discomfort, Clark slapped out, instantly sending Pete flying out of the room.
At the same time, Jonathan's hammer struck at the red ring in his hand.
Clark, freed from the influence of kryptonite, blocked his father's hammer with one hand.
"It's a shame, not only do you prepare meteorites, but I do too. So the moment I saw Pete's lead box, I knew what you were planning."
Clark pushed forward, and Jonathan was pushed out by a huge force, dragging the hammer and hitting the wall with a bang.
At this moment, Chloe and Lana, who had arrived late, also came to the scene. They helped up Pete, whose mouth was bleeding, and looked at Clark, who had pushed Jonathan away, with despair in their eyes.
Is there really no one who can stop Clark now?!
Clark exhaled, activated his Heat Vision, and shot it at the hammer in Jonathan's hand.
Even though the target was a hammer, the Heat Vision, carrying extremely high temperatures, could not leave Jonathan completely unharmed.
Jonathan, feeling a sharp pain in his back, saw Clark's Heat Vision shooting towards him and instinctively put his hands in front of his face.
But the expected Heat Vision did not hit him.
Instead, a piercing "sizzle" sound rang in his ears.
Opening his eyes, he saw a figure standing in front of him, hands raised to his chest, blocking Clark's Heat Vision.
"Eric?!"
