"I know who orchestrated everything that led to this tragedy. I swear to you, Mom, I will make all those involved pay their price!"
Lifting his head, Eric's eyes gazed at the setting sun in the distance, his expression still calm.
There were no tears, no anger filling his heart to the point of losing reason.
On the contrary, he was exceptionally calm now.
America, with its inherent human rights?
Eric let out a cold snort. If that's the case, I'll let you witness your own destruction!
The explosion at Metropolis City Center Hospital resulted in hundreds of Deaths and injuries, and countless others in this disaster left no physical remains, being directly declared missing by the government.
This explosion in the city center was the deadliest incident in Metropolis since the "alien invasion."
After the incident, it immediately drew public attention.
Countless citizens, especially the victims' families, demanded that the government hand over the culprit responsible for this disaster.
Having no choice, the United States government could only declare the incident a terrorist attack and identify the suspect as Boomerang Captain.
Since it was determined that Boomerang Captain had caused the bomb to explode by forcibly disarming the nano-bomb, and had been blown to pieces in the accident, these officials were not worried that Boomerang Captain would come forward to deny it.
Although the public held considerable doubts about the government's investigation report, because the government handled the aftermath fairly well, citizens and victims' families did not continue to pursue the matter.
Smallville.
Jonathan's funeral was being held at Kent Farm. Perhaps sensing the somber atmosphere in the air, snow gradually began to fall from the sky.
Clark, dressed in black, stood in front of a pine forest, gazing at the ice crystals falling from the sky, his eyes filled with sadness.
Looking towards the front of the pine needles, those who came to the funeral were waiting there, waiting for him and his mother to pass.
Looking at everything before him, he suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Past memories instantly surfaced in his mind.
Yes, this was the scene he had dreamed of before!
During the period when his father was running for State Councilor, he was lying in bed at Kansas Central University and had a dream.
The dream was his father's funeral.
In the snowy dream, he witnessed his father's funeral with his own eyes.
He originally thought it was just a dream, or even if it was a premonition of the future, it was a prophecy that could be changed.
He didn't expect that the dream was a premonition of the present!
But he would never accept such an outcome!
Clark clenched his fists and walked forward.
Martha, with a sad expression in her eyes, came over and held his fist, melting his irritable desire to vent his emotions.
Martha, with reddened eyes, held Clark's hand and walked forward.
Chloe's eyes were red, and Louise's face was full of sorrow, both with many tears in their eyes.
Lionel held a bouquet of flowers and stood a little further away, looking at Clark and Martha with a complex expression.
Further away were several people he knew: Pat, Courtney, Bart, Green Lantern girl Jenna, each with a sad expression.
There were also several girls he didn't know, dressed in black, wearing white flowers on their chests, with the Metropolis University emblem subtly attached to their cuffs. Clark judged that they should be from Eric's fan club. He only remembered one of the girls was named Hanna.
In the deepest part of the forest, he saw a woman who had not appeared for a long time—Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman accompanied Eric, not speaking, just looking solemnly at the tombstone not far from her.
A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes as Clark followed his mother forward.
After passing through the crowd, he saw a coffin being lowered.
Everything in the dream played out before his eyes. Even though he was prepared, Clark still felt a dizzy spell.
From now on, from this day, he had lost his father.
Not only his father, but also the girl he had cared about so much since childhood—Lana.
A pained expression appeared in his eyes, and Clark covered his chest with his hand.
An infinite pain suddenly surged within him, so intense that he couldn't even breathe.
Eric, standing in the distance, did not see Clark's reaction, but kept his gaze fixed on Jonathan's tombstone.
"Eric, are you alright?"
Diana reached out and held Eric's hand, which was as cold as ice in the snowy weather, and asked him worriedly.
She was originally in Washington tracking a woman named "Cheetah," trying to recover something that might belong to Themyscira from her. After hearing about the incident here, she immediately rushed back.
