"Is that Omni-Man?"
"Oh my God!"
"I can't believe my eyes!"
"Eden, did you see that?"
"That's Omni-Man! I can't believe I'm seeing her at our school!"
"Is she here on a secret mission for our school?"
"Could it be that the bald dean is an evil alien in disguise?"
William looked at the strong woman surrounded by countless students, teachers, and passersby, and couldn't help but let out a piercing squeal.
"I saw her a while ago."
Eden stopped. He planned to escape through the back door of the school before Omni-Man, his mother, noticed him.
Well, Eden's desire for a peaceful life wasn't just an empty promise.
Perhaps it was because Eden had grown up constantly tormented by the fear that his parents might discover each other's secrets at any moment, leading to a 'falling out'.
This had made Eden an introverted person with slight social anxiety. He didn't particularly like being the center of attention; it gave him a sense of panic that his secrets were about to be discovered.
"Excuse me, please wait a moment."
"I'll have the Defense Agency send the autographs I owe you today to your respective homes."
"As for now, I need to pick up my son from school."
Just as Eden was about to turn and run, Omni-Man seemed to sense something and looked up. Her eyes immediately locked onto Eden in the crowd.
At the same time, Eden could feel countless eyes, following Omni-Man's gaze, falling upon him at that moment.
"Things are getting troublesome."
Eden's eyelids twitched. He felt his heart rate accelerating. He hadn't felt this awkward even when fighting the Berserker Beast.
"Eden, did you hear that?"
"I can't believe my ears!"
"Omni-Man actually has a child?"
"And that child is studying at our high school?"
"This is incredible!"
"Do you think it could be someone we know?"
William said, leaning closer to Eden's ear and whispering, "Do you think it could be Todd? That guy is over six feet tall and weighs over two hundred pounds. He's so strong he doesn't even look like a high school student."
"Son."
Just as William was quietly 'chattering'.
Everyone watched as one of the strongest heroes on Earth, an idol to people worldwide, the invincible Omni-Man, had already walked over to Eden and William.
"What is she doing?"
William looked at Omni-Man, his expression somewhat bewildered.
Just as William wondered what Omni-Man was about to do, Omni-Man had already taken the backpack from Eden's hand and said with a smile, "I'm here to pick you up from school."
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
"Eden, Omni-Man is your mother?!"
Seeing this, William's mouth dropped open incredibly wide as he looked at his 'best friend' Eden, saying in disbelief.
"William, I'll explain it to you later."
Eden had reached his limit of patience.
Eden first threw this casual remark to William beside him, then grabbed his mother Nolan's hand, quickly soared into the air, left the school, and said, "Mom, let's talk somewhere else."
"My best friend flew away!"
On the ground, William said in disbelief.
Ten thousand meters in the sky.
"Mom, you should explain to me what exactly is going on?!"
"It's one thing that you're not dealing with the invading aliens or those restless supervillains, but why are you wearing your work uniform and coming to my school?"
Eden looked at his mother, questioning her.
"It's because your father and I feel we've really neglected you these past few years."
"Because your father and I have been working hard to maintain world peace all these years, we've missed out on a lot of your growth experiences."
"Even they (Eden's classmates) don't know your parents' true identities!"
"So, your father and I planned to compensate you a little on your eighteenth birthday and give you a surprise."
"Don't you like it?"
Nolan looked at Eden meekly and said.
Ever since Eden confessed to Nolan, she had been a bit unsure how to interact with him.
At the same time, Nolan deeply reflected on herself and realized she was truly a terrible mother, so she intended to make amends to Eden.
"I like it very much."
"Don't come next time."
"I mean, I can't be too selfish!"
"Your time is precious and should be used to fight evil, not wasted on family matters."
Eden said with a smile.
At the same time, Eden complained internally, "This isn't a surprise; it's clearly a fright."
"Phew."
"As long as you like it."
Nolan breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Eden wasn't annoyed.
"As for the villain problem?"
Then, Nolan gently patted Eden's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's alright, son. There aren't many supervillains left on Earth worth your father and me dealing with."
"Damn it."
"I really shouldn't have killed them all, to the point where my parents are almost unemployed."
Upon hearing this, Eden's eye twitched slightly.
"Come on, my son."
"I have a gift for you."
Just as Eden was reflecting on himself, Nolan pulled Eden's arm and led him to a tailor shop.
And from the hands of the old man who had once designed Nolan's battle suit, she received a brand-new combat suit.
This combat suit combined the characteristics of Omni-Man and Superman.
"Son, do you like it?"
"This is a combat suit I personally designed for you."
Nolan presented the combat suit to Eden as if offering a treasure.
"Hmm…"
Eden looked at the combat suit before him and fell silent.
To be honest, it was just okay.
"I love it so much, Mother."
"I can't wait to put it on, really."
But Eden still said 'happily'.
"As long as you're happy."
Nolan looked at Eden's excited expression and smiled with relief.
Fortunately, everything was going according to plan.
Fortunately, Eden really liked the two gifts she gave him.
"Then put it on now."
"There's a changing room here."
At this moment, Nolan said again.
"…"
Upon hearing this, Eden looked at the combat suit in his hand in silence, but due to the 'starlight' glittering in Nolan's eyes, he nodded, "Okay."
At the same time, Eden comforted himself internally, "Just consider it making my mother happy! After all, my mother deserves a lot of credit for me being reincarnated into this world."
A few seconds later, Eden put on the combat suit.
"That's great, Eden."
"You look so handsome, truly my son."
Nolan said excitedly, looking at Eden in his combat suit.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Although Eden didn't know if Nolan's "You look so handsome" meant he was handsome or his combat suit was handsome, he gladly accepted it.
"Now we can go home."
Nolan smiled after silently admiring the handsome combat suit she had personally designed.
At the same time, Nolan didn't forget to add, "Go back wearing your combat suit."
"Mother, is there something else you're hiding from me?"
"Speaking of which, where is Father? Is he not with you?"
Eden seemed to have noticed something amiss.
"Uh."
"Your father went to deal with a Dimension Lord."
Nolan turned her head, not daring to meet Eden's eyes, and her heart rate accelerated.
Just as Cecil said, Nolan couldn't lie; her lies were full of holes.
"I believe you."
Eden smiled; he now had a 'what the hell' attitude, coupled with a bit of curiosity.
Eden wanted to see what kind of trick his Superman father was playing!
And so.
The Kent Family home.
"Surprise, Eden!"
"Happy eighteenth birthday to my son!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As Eden and Nolan, wearing their combat suits, descended from the sky and pushed open the door.
Eden saw the previously dark house instantly light up.
He saw Eden's good-natured father, Clark, and his 'cronies,' the entire Guardians, including The Immortal, holding party poppers, delivering a surprise to Eden.
"Motherfucker."
Upon seeing this, Eden felt no ripple in his heart, even uttering a national essence.
