Since he knew that Lex Luthor had already been targeted by the Court of Owls, and assassins from the Court would strike at him at any moment, naturally, Eric would not allow the other party to enter his home.
Once the other party entered, any conflict would inevitably involve the farm.
Allowing such a thing as letting the wolf into the house, as long as his brain wasn't filled with water, he would never allow it to happen.
"Is it not allowed?" Feeling Eric's gaze filled with a strong sense of danger directed at him, Clark asked somewhat puzzled.
"I won't agree." Eric withdrew his unfriendly gaze. "It would destroy this home."
"Destroy?" Clark didn't understand why Eric used such serious words.
"I don't understand why you say 'destroy.' It's just a small gathering among a few people, Eric."
"A small gathering among a few people? Clark, you're always so naive." Eric chuckled disdainfully. "I don't believe your friends can keep quiet. They won't hesitate to tell the entire school: 'Hey, Clark's house is hosting a party tonight.' And I also don't believe those hormone-raging high schoolers can resist the temptation of a party offering free beer and donuts."
"Once that group of unruly high schoolers enters the house, they will destroy it."
Clark disagreed with his brother's words. "I don't think the situation will be that serious, Eric. I can handle it; it's just a private gathering."
"Clark, you always confidently believe that you can control everything, but every time you mess it up."
Eric stood up, staring coldly at Clark. "I think when necessary, you must listen to my advice."
"Yeah, you always seem to be right." Clark stood up suddenly, facing Eric. "You always seem to understand the truth of everything, just like with Coach Watt last time, but you don't share it with me, you don't trust me enough to include me in your circle, yet you constantly demand that I follow your inexplicable rules."
Filled with frustration, Clark's emotions overflowed as he spoke to Eric, word by word, "I can control this gathering."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Activated by super speed, he moved to the doorway in an instant.
But the next moment, Clark had to stop his super-speed movement.
Because Eric was standing in front of him.
"Nothing will move without your will, Clark. I believe canceling it is the right thing to do."
Eric stepped forward, blocking his brother's path.
"How? I've already notified Lana and Lex. If you don't agree, you can call our parents and let them know. But if you want me to cancel it myself, I'm sorry, I can't do that, because I'd rather be a man who keeps his word than be someone who shifts responsibility."
Clark's stubbornness came to the fore, refusing to back down.
"Then you must spend today reflecting at home, Clark."
Eric stepped forward, blocking his brother's path.
"You can't trap me, Eric."
Clark's gaze became fierce.
"Clark, you know, your speed can't surpass mine!"
Eric stared at Clark, his tone devoid of emotion. "Unless you can surpass me, no matter how you run, I'll catch up to you. I'll keep you trapped."
"I know."
Clark clenched his fists tightly. "I've always been the slow one, whether it's the time of awakening my abilities or utilizing my talents. But, Eric, maybe you never realized I've been chasing after you. While you run forward, you never see how I progress behind you."
"Clark, are you saying I don't understand you?" Eric furrowed his brow slightly.
"Isn't it? At least you don't understand the current me." Clark's tone carried a strange sense of resentment.
"If that's the case, I'm even more curious. Let's try it then. You go ahead and leave. Let's see if I can stop you."
Eric's eyes narrowed.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of air waves reverberated outward, spreading like ripples.
The spreading roar caused the air to tremble, creating bursts of explosions.
The residual air waves shaken by the shock hit the door with a forceful push.
Two air currents, invisible to the naked eye, swiftly rushed along the farm, charging toward the deserted plains.
The moment Eric activated his speed, he realized that Clark's speed far exceeded his expectations.
In just a breath, he shot out hundreds of meters!
The short burst of speed was almost close to 300 meters per second.
Do you know that his own speed barely broke the sound barrier (340 meters per second), but now the other party's speed has soared to nearly 300!
Is this the talent of "Superman"?
Even in the early stages of comprehending the talent of "Son of Krypton," he reached this level?
Although surprised by the sudden eruption of Clark's super speed, Eric did not stop but immediately accelerated to catch up.
Swinging his arms rapidly, he moved forward at lightning speed, resembling the posture of the Flash.
The rushing air brushed against the cornfield, causing the corn stalks to tilt outward. Two dense air currents, tightly packed with air, formed a divine wind propelling forward on the ground.
Leaving behind traces of toppled crops in the cornfield, the two air currents rushed out, maintaining their momentum as they sped along the forest road.
Clark no longer held back, releasing his full potential. At this moment, all he wanted was to run at full speed.
The sound of rushing wind filled his ears, and the barrier of compressed dense air isolated his sensory touch, as blurry scenery flashed by.
Running at full speed along the forest road, at this moment, he felt like he had turned into a stream of light.
Is this the experience of ultimate speed?
For a moment, Clark was immersed in the exhilarating sensation of his full potential bursting forth.
Boom!
A deafening sound suddenly erupted behind him, as if thunder had descended from the sky.
With a series of bangs, a continuous burst of air explosions emanated from behind him, like a string of thunderous roars.
The trees on both sides of the road were instantly shattered by the shockwave, as if being blown apart. Branches and leaves flew outward.
The shockwave swept along the road toward him!
The energy in the compressed dense air burst forth in an instant, creating a shockwave that shook the surroundings, sending him flying.
Boom!
Clark's body slammed heavily into the soft soil of the forest, leaving a long trail behind due to the rapid movement.
Coughing, Clark spat out a mouthful of soil, his head feeling heavy as he looked at Eric, who stood expressionless in front of him, showing an expression of extreme shock.
"What is this? A Sonic boom?"
