Clark released Jonathan's hand and stood up.
"Clark."
Martha said to Clark, "For the next while, your father and I will transfer to Lawrence University Hospital.
You and Eric don't need to come see us; you have your own matters and can't focus your energy on us."
Although she didn't agree to go to Winters's house, Martha agreed to transfer to Lawrence City, a nearby city closer to Smallville.
"Mom…"
Clark, his emotions fluctuating, came over and hugged his mother.
Martha's tears immediately streamed down her face.
"When you and Eric were babies, lying by the cradle, I listened to your breathing, and your breathing was difficult, struggling, and I was so worried…"
Clark gently patted his mother's shoulder.
"Clark, you are kind and good, and we saw it immediately.
One day, the whole world will see it, I just…"
Martha's eyes welled up with tears, "I just worry that one day you will leave us, that you and Eric will leave the farm.
I know one day, you will face all of this."
"I'm not going anywhere, Mom, I promise you!
Once everything is resolved, I'll come back as soon as possible."
Clark gently patted his mother and said.
At the same time, he looked at Eric.
The two saw each other's thoughts in their eyes.
At Luthor Manor, Lionel found Lex.
"Lex!"
Pushing open the door, Lionel faced his son and asked, "You're targeting my research team again!
This is the third time this month you've used despicable means to poach my people!"
Facing his father's aggressive demeanor, Lex remained calm and steady.
"I'm just taking some counter-measures.
Look at this world; it's all a twisted collection filled with self-interest.
If you don't go with the flow, you'll just be swallowed by the collective."
Lex said to his father, "What I've done is merely a repayment for the evil you've done to me, and this repayment isn't even one-tenth of it!"
"What did you say?"
Lionel didn't understand what Lex meant.
"Don't play dumb! The black spaceship in my lab disappeared, you did it, didn't you?"
Lex blamed his father for stealing the spaceship.
A heavily guarded place, where no one could enter or exit freely, it was impossible for someone to steal the spaceship without his knowledge.
If anyone could, it could only be his father right in front of him!
Lex, with red eyes, looked at his father, "Besides you, no one else could have done it!"
"If I said I knew nothing about your spaceship, would you believe me?"
Lionel said to his son with a serious expression.
"I wouldn't believe it, because you never wear labels of 'good person' or 'bad person' on your forehead!"
Lex stood up and walked over to Lionel.
"Nor would I believe that a father who would stoop to survive would put on a show of a prodigal son returning.
You can't fool any intelligent person; your disguise and false closeness are merely masks in your climb upwards."
Facing his son's interrogation, Lionel shook his head and said, "Since you don't believe me, there's no need for me to explain."
Saying that, he prepared to turn and leave.
"I know the origin of that spaceship!"
Lex stopped Lionel, who was about to leave.
He let out a breath, suppressed his anger, and said calmly:
"More than a year ago…"
His gaze turned to the window, his eyes exceptionally grave.
"I was trapped in a mirror dimension by two strange individuals."
"Mirror?!"
"Yes, mirrors.
Those two superpowered aliens just casually threw out mirrors, opening up a space that sucked Lana and me in.
It was a world completely different from this one.
Although I was released quickly, I still saw some people inside."
Lex said words that made Lionel even more confused.
"They claimed to be General Zod's people and said that the place I was in was the Phantom Zone.
They hoped I could cooperate with them.
I refused, and then they captured me; my body underwent some kind of change; they modified me…"
Lex said words that stunned Lionel.
"You mean, Lex, your body was modified by them?!"
"I don't know, but I can feel that they put something inside my body.
Following these things, they came from a distant galaxy, heading for Earth!"
Lex's expression grew more serious, "I can feel it, very soon, those terrifying presences will arrive on Earth."
"Who?"
Lionel asked him loudly.
"General Zod!"
"…"
At the same time, Washington, Pentagon.
People from the Air Force's highest information command also noticed something unusual.
Bang!
The door was pushed open, and General Lane and several of his subordinates walked into the command center.
"General Lane!"
Everyone in the command center immediately greeted him.
"I received your emergency call and came over.
I hope what you're looking at won't disappoint me."
Lane, dressed in his general's uniform, looked very authoritative.
Walking to the screen and looking at a blurry black image on it, General Lane's brows furrowed.
"What is this? A comet?"
"Comets don't adjust their own orbits."
A white-haired scientist said to General Lane, "Although the image is of poor quality, like the work of some amateur astronomer, it's getting closer and closer to Earth."
"Can… can we communicate with them?"
General Lane asked, his throat somewhat dry.
"I'm afraid not!"
