Impossible. His father, Jonathan, did not discuss it with anyone in the family and just quietly sold the farm he had been running for half his life.
"Dad, who did you sell the farm and house to?"
Clark couldn't help but ask.
"Sold to Bob Rickman of Rickman Enterprises, and he plans to build a chemical plant here." Martha couldn't figure out why her husband would do this.
He obviously hates those factories that discharge pollution indiscriminately.
"I don't know what's going on."
On the typewritten contract, his name was clearly signed, and Jonathan rubbed the contract in his hand. Jonathan's eyes were a little confused, with a feeling of being in a dream, and he told the bizarre story.
"I was working in the barn. He came in with someone and offered to buy my farm again. At the time, I sternly rejected him."
"He had a regretful expression and shook my hand before leaving."
"After that..."
Jonathan tried to recall, but the memory seems to have disappeared, and the brain was blank.
"I somehow seem to have signed this name."
"Somehow?"
David grasped the point keenly.
"I don't have that part of the memory anymore, but this is indeed my signature."
The handwriting was exactly the same, and Jonathan shook his head in distress.
"What shall we say in court?
My husband was possessed by an evil spirit?"
Mother Martha was very angry, her chest heaved violently, and she turned her head and said sadly to her two sons.
"I sent the original contract to a lawyer and consulted him. He said that there are no loopholes in the contract. There is almost no possibility of winning the lawsuit. We can only move out of here within three days."
"But this is our home. We have always lived here, on this land."
Clark's eyes widened, unable to imagine leaving the home and farm where he grew up.
"Not anymore we will not."
Jonathan said with a trace of regret.
"I inherited this land from your grandfather, and I sold it for only a hundred thousand dollars, I don't understand."
He didn't know why he signed this contract, he was sure no one threatened him with his wife and children, forcing him to sign this contract.
The farm and land where the Kent family has lived for generations will be moved within three days. The family was caught off guard by the sudden bad news. At this time, the atmosphere was extremely dull, and no one cared about lunch.
"Maybe I can ask someone for help and see if he can do anything."
Thinking of something, Clark's eyes lightened slightly, and he looked at his parents.
"I saved Lex's life. Although you guys taught me not to ask for rewards just because I helped others, I don't think this is the time to be reserved." After finishing speaking, he glanced at David who was frowning and thinking about something seriously.
This time, he wants to prove to his younger brother that not only he can protect the family, but also he can solve this matter without using forceful means.
No one will suffer undue harm from it!
"I don't want to associate with the Luther family."
Jonathan instinctively resisted.
"Do you have any other way now, Jonathan?", Martha asked slightly angrily.
Jonathan, the head of the family, opened his mouth and was speechless.
"He's a powered person."
After thinking for a while, David suddenly said.
He couldn't think of a second possibility for such a bizarre thing.
"Rickman is an ability user?"
Hearing the word "powered person", Clark's expression changed, and he thought about it carefully.
He and his younger brother have already encountered several strange abilities, some can discharge electricity, some are like insects, and some can deform and absorb heat.
It doesn't seem too surprising to have someone with the ability to confuse people and mess with their minds now.
"Like the person who attacked the school and Tina?"
The couple looked at each other, thinking of the ability user who their sons said could discharge electricity and Tina, with surprise on their faces.
"Is there anything else that could make Dad sell the farm he loves without even discussing it with us?"
Facing his parents, David shrugged.
"But, how to solve this matter now?" He deliberately made a relaxed gesture so as not to make them more tense and had a relaxed tone.
The couple was frowning. Even if they know the root of the problem, can they really tell the judge in court that Rickman has superpowers, and has confused and messed with their family, so they should nullify the legal effect of the contract?
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, let me talk to him."
David narrowed his eyes and smiled softly.
"With some conversation, Mr. Rickman may change his mind."
His tone was gentle, as if he really wanted to reason with the other party, and turned to leave.
Clark's expression changed. Judging from the previous examples of turning people into a vegetable, he believed that David's expression was not just about conversation.
"I'll go too."
"Clark, David, you have to be careful."
With Clark accompanying him, Jonathan and Martha instantly felt relieved and stopped their two sons to give them several instructions.
"If it doesn't work, our family can find another place to live in the town, and it won't delay your schooling. The integrity of a family doesn't depend on which land you live on." David nodded, reassuring his parents not to worry, and turned to leave through the door.
Not far away, Clark, who followed, looked back at the farm and walked along.
"Mom and Dad don't know that you don't need my protection at all.
On the contrary, I want to protect other people from under your hands."
Mom and Dad don't know the true powers of David which gives him a headache at all, but he can't tell them the truth yet. Just help David cover-up.
"Protect what, protect the person who cheated our farm and house away with his ability?"
Feeling that he was implying something, David glanced at him.
"David, you don't have to be so rough and ruthless every time you do something."
Hearing the unkindness in David's tone aimed at Rickman, Clark reached out to stop him and lowered his voice seriously.
"Rickman has a lot of money, and if something happens to him, the major newspapers will pay attention to it."
Unlike Smallville, a small town, even if something happens, it won't be published in the newspapers.
"If you turn people into vegetates again this time."
Afraid that he still won't be able to convince his assertive brother, he gritted his teeth.
"I will never take the blame in front of my parents again!"
"What do you want me to do?"
Clark actually threatened himself with this incident, and David raised his eyebrows as if he was meeting him for the first time.
After he crossed the line of killing someone, Clark really began to worry completely, and his behavior was no longer so meek when facing him.
'But thinking about it, what Clark said is indeed a problem.
Rickman's reputation is not low. The companies and factories under his name have almost monopolized the pesticide production business in Metropolis and several surrounding cities. He suddenly was found to be in a vegetative state. Metropolis Newspapers will not miss this piece of news."
[Template has been integrated to 99%]
It was already 99% two days ago, and he hoped this new template is a template that can show the character's ability at will without affecting his body.
Obviously, he has the strength to protect himself, but he still has caused worry his parents, so David had a headache.
"Let's discuss who will solve this matter safely and properly first."
Hearing what his younger brother said, Clark quietly heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice without saying anything about the plan he had in mind.
Last time he almost brought trouble to the family and implicated his father, this time he will use this matter to suppress his younger brother and let his younger brother realize that he is not as good as him so that he can speak with some weight in his younger brother's heart in the future.
"Your proposal is very good, but I..."
David was expressionless, feeling that the proposal was boring.
"Don't refuse!"
The tall Clark guessed what he wanted to say, and said toughly to his younger brother.
His hard body stood tall, his eyes were firm and powerful, and there was a trace of strength and force in his eyes.
"Your change is astonishing, Clark."
Looking up and down at Clark's new look, David raised his eyebrows: "From now on, you plan to establish the majesty of being the big brother, and strictly discipline your brother who is in danger of going bad?"
Hearing David tell what he was thinking in his mind, Clark secretly clenched his fists, did not avoid looking at David, and said sincerely.
"I'm doing it for your own good."
Hearing this sentence, David, who was a little stressed, was considering whether to take out a piece of kryptonite from his pocket and beat the tough Clark back to his original form.
Suddenly, his face changed slightly and he felt a sudden change in the template.
"Okay."
"You agreed?" Clark, who was secretly ready to face an enemy, was a little surprised when he frowned and was about to retreat a few hundred meters immediately in case his brother took out the meteor rock again.
