Chapter 33 – Ignorance leads to the grave
Kassandra predicts the future uncontrollably.
Sometimes she sees things that will happen in a few minutes, and sometimes she sees the end of someone's life. However, she cannot predict the constantly changing future for one person too frequently.
Clark wanted to predict his own future to see if his firm determination to prevent his brother from going down the wrong path had any effect, and if the future had changed. However, he couldn't do it.
"I'm tired, children."
Listening to the sound of the clock ticking, Kassandra smiled with satisfaction. Clark was a bit confused as he hadn't started reading with the respected elder in front of him.
"Do you really think that Ms. Kassandra needs someone to accompany her while she reads?"
David patted his shoulder and got up to leave.
The old woman could read Braille, and all she needed was someone to help her see the colorful world through the future of others.
"Excuse me, ma'am."
Clark realized and looked at the clock on the wall. He felt that it was time to leave.
"I'll come back to see you this afternoon."
"Child, I can only help you see fragments of the future. Sometimes you don't know the whole picture, so don't make judgments easily."
Finally, as Clark was about to close the door and leave, Kassandra kindly reminded him while sitting in her chair.
"Be patient and trustful when facing your family."
"I understand, thank you, ma'am."
After a moment of hesitation, Clark nodded and closed the door, lost in deep thought. He had originally planned to accompany David to another room downstairs and play chess with another elderly person to fulfill his community service hours. But after two games, the old woman didn't want to play anymore because she could tell that David was letting her win and trying to make her happy. After seriously losing one game, she quickly defeated him.
Playing chess with someone who had a significant difference in skill level was not fun, especially when you were the weaker player.
"You guys can go. I will tell the nursing home that you played chess with me."
The defeated old woman touched her forehead and waved her hand in frustration.
The two had no choice but to leave. It was almost lunchtime, and compared to eating in the nursing home cafeteria, they preferred to go home and taste Martha's famous seafood stew.
As they went downstairs, they saw Pete's car parked downstairs.
But they didn't see Pete. They didn't know where he had gone, maybe he was still looking for his keys.
"Are you going home like this, Clark? What will your father and mother think if they see you?"
Leaving the nursing home, Clark couldn't shake off the worry between his eyebrows. He walked absentmindedly, and David lifted his eyelids and smiled.
"What did you see me do in the future that made you so worried? Did I lock you in a coffin made of meteorites? Or did I steal Lana, who you've been thinking about?"
"No... nothing."
"..."@@@@
He currently didn't have the means to create a high-tech cosmic armor or undergo biological modification on himself.
"It seems that this extra ability is temporarily useless?"
On the way back home in the suburbs, David raised an eyebrow.
"What a coincidence, David!"
A voice filled with resentment and triumph suddenly sounded.
A figure slowly walked out at the intersection, blocking the path of the two. His skin was covered in a layer of icy white, his lips were blue, and his face looked somewhat hideous.
"Shawn?"
Clark looked up and looked at Shawn, whose skin had an abnormal color and seemed to be trembling. He looked surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
"Am I okay?"
Upon hearing this question, Shawn opened his arms and laughed wildly, "I couldn't be better!"
"Now!"
He abruptly turned to David, his voice stern and harsh. The grass on both sides of his palm was frozen and shattered. As the wind blew, snowflakes danced in the air.
"Kneel and beg me, and I might consider sparing your life, David."
Walking through the town to this point, his ability to absorb heat emerged again.
"Ever considered applying for a circus?"
Upon hearing this, David's face turned icy cold.
From Sean's appearance, it was not hard to see that he had undergone a genetic mutation due to Kryptonite radiation.
"With your current freakish look, you'd surely be a sell-out."
"Your ignorance will lead you to your grave."
Mocked, Sean was enraged and leaped forward to throw a punch, "You have no idea how powerful I am now!"
"Sean, stop!"
Clark rushed forward, trying to prevent Sean from getting close to David, to protect his brother, and also to protect him.
But as soon as his hands touched Sean's body, his body heat was uncontrollably drawn away.
A burst of sunlight-like radiance was born at the point of contact between the two, which was absorbed into Sean's body.
"How can the heat in your body be even greater than a small power station!"
The massive heat surged into his body, Sean's physique was rapidly strengthening, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
"I'm becoming stronger!"
