HPDBC Chapter 35 – Aliens are also humans
Chapter 35 – Aliens are also humans
David showed no mercy and turned Shawn, who wanted to attack him and even threatened to kill him, into a vegetable.
Clark rushed forward to save himself by hitting Shawn, feeling a warm sensation in his heart.
Apart from that, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, looking at Shawn who had lost consciousness at the bottom of the pit, his voice heavy and hesitant.

"This time is different from before. Shawn may not have committed a crime, but you turned him into a vegetable..."
The previous ability users, like Jeremy who could generate electricity, Greg who turned into an insect, and Tina who could transform her flesh and strengthen her bones, all confirmed that they had committed the serious crime of murder.
But Shawn was different. Maybe he just got his powers and came to seek revenge on David.
"Isn't it a crime for him to attack you and me?"
Hearing these words, David pretended to be surprised.
"He has such a dangerous ability. Setting aside other factors, shouldn't this be considered self-defense in court?"
He patted Clark's shoulder, who was stunned, and turned to leave.
"Don't feel inferior, my brother. Aliens are also human."
"..."
David was not surprised. It was the same in the comics. Superman never considered himself human, perhaps thinking that it was like a person holding a straw trying to kill another person, which did not constitute an intent to kill.
If he hadn't committed any other crimes and only attacked him alone, he wouldn't pay much attention to it.
But now, he wanted to apply this criminal perspective to him as well. Does being powerful mean being guilty? Are ability users not human?
At this point, Clark thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and quickly cleared the traces around him with super speed. He then took Shawn to the entrance of the hospital and caught up with his brother.
When Clark first saw David do this, he was shocked and couldn't believe it, but now, he was terrifyingly starting to get used to it.
...
Back at home, Clark was no longer as angry because he heard from the radio at the dining table that the town's power plant had been attacked by an unknown suspect suspected to have used liquid nitrogen as a weapon, resulting in the freezing death of more than a dozen people.
Moreover, he knew the cause of the incident. It was because David had helped Chloe drive away the promiscuous Shawn yesterday that led to today's events.
At the dining table, Jonathan and Martha anxiously reminded the two to be careful.
This might also be an ability user. They didn't know if the police could apprehend the culprit.
The couple didn't know that the culprit of this case had become a vegetable lying in the hospital.
Looking back, Clark felt that compared to Shawn and others who immediately put themselves above life and the law as soon as they gained power, his brother's mentality was not as dangerous as he thought.
But he still believed that his brother needed correction.
"It would be better if David didn't turn people into vegetables so easily."
But Clark didn't persuade his brother anymore. He had realized that his brother had his own set of values.
Most of the time, his brother was smarter and more mature than him. In David's mind, his words as an older brother might not carry much weight.
"Similar words have been said enough. It's useless to say them again."
Sometimes words were powerless. It was difficult to change a person simply through words.
The resentment and hatred from several vegetative people kept popping up, which was quite annoying.
Anyway, he knew that his emotional points were increasing.
【Determination from Clark +38......】
"Clark's strength seems to have grown rapidly recently."
David flipped through the previous information reminders. The ability points Clark had provided him in the past few days had almost doubled.
Even the not-so-intense emotions provided a considerable amount of emotional points.
【Nervousness from Kara +0.07......】
Noticing a name worth paying attention to, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
When did this Kara start feeling nervous because of him? Had he met her during the day?
"Clark, David, I didn't expect to see you here."
Luthor, dressed in a black suit, slowly walked over with a glass of champagne with a lemon on the rim, a smile on his face: "Do you need me to introduce the collections here?"
"Luthor?"
Clark greeted with a smile.
"Genuine ancient Greek artifacts, once belonged to Alexander the Great."
Earlier, Clark was curiously looking at the display case, Luthor pointed to the snake-like pattern on the chest of the armor.
"This pattern is said to represent courage and strength."
"Courage and strength?"
David looked up, the coiled snake shape did look like an 'S', he chuckled.
"I doubt Alexander's soldiers would agree with that, I can't imagine anyone wearing it into battle."
The whole body was inlaid with dazzling gems, visible from miles away, this was definitely not a suit of armor.
If it's not an armor to be worn on the battlefield, what's the talk of power and courage? Isn't it ridiculous?
"Sometimes, the enemy is not on the battlefield filled with blood and death."
Luthor laughed.
"This suit of armor was used to help Alexander the Great appear inviolable in certain situations."
"Lex, are you a history buff?"
Clark was surprised that a descendant of a businessman was so knowledgeable about history.
"I'm just interested in people who dominated the world before the age of thirty."
Luthor casually revealed an undeniable ambition and pride.
David raised his eyelids.
"If I remember correctly, didn't Alexander die at thirty-three?"
"......"
