She seemed completely oblivious to Ian's acting skills.
"Big sister, take a closer look, look at my face... Doesn't it look like the face of a stray dog?" Ian wanted to subtly express that he was having trouble dealing with a problem that even Superman couldn't handle.
"If you keep making people angry like this, you probably won't have to worry about whether you're good or bad anymore." Fake Tessa gritted her teeth and glared at Ian with annoyance.
"okay."
Ian chose to keep quiet.
The fake Tessa stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to look at Kara, who was frozen in place and had just shown signs of distress. A complex look appeared in her clear black and white eyes.
“I was going to teach you a lesson for not following the rules, but you’ve shown me something unusual.” The fake Tessa paused for a moment.
It's like they're weighing something.
“You can ask her for help, but only her.” The fake Tessa made her decision, her tone leaving no room for argument or rebuttal, causing Ian to freeze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"Isn't that enough? Let me find another one, no, two!" Ian tried to bargain. He had already made up his plans, but he didn't expect them to fall through.
First, find Supergirl who won't harm Superman, then use Supergirl's connections to ask the Flash for help, and then use the Flash's connections to find Wonder Woman. What a perfect network management plan!
The client rejected it outright?
Does this mean you can understand the plan and proposal?
Faced with Ian's unwillingness to accept defeat.
The fake Tessa, on the contrary, did not show the same emotional fluctuations as before.
"Believe me, I've already taken a huge risk by condoning your behavior." Her tone was low, carrying a strange undertone, and even revealing a hint of weariness.
Why would it be so risky?
Ian was very surprised and puzzled.
In this regard.
The fake Tessa did not respond.
"We don't have many cards left, and every loss will be irreparable." She simply sighed, played the riddle-maker for a moment, turned around, and disappeared directly out the door.
Ian felt there was important information in the big boss's words.
but.
Before he could even sort out a clue...
The world has resumed its constant operation, which had been suspended.
Chapter 39 Kara: Sacrificing Family for the greater good!
Not many cards in hand?
This is probably related to the fact that the big boss didn't want to see Superman die, so he coaxed and tricked Ian into solving the problem so that Superman could avoid his fate.
Just as Ian was thinking about this.
Colors surged back into the surrounding environment like a tide, and sounds returned to her ears. Kara came back to life—she finally let out the breath that had been held back for so long.
"So~"
Kara seemed oblivious to everything, her thoughts continuing from the moment before she was suspended. She pondered for a moment, glancing with slight displeasure at her dinner, which Ian had devoured.
"Did you awaken your abilities and then your father told you his secret?" Kara had no recollection of ever having a headache, nor did she realize that the world had been paused.
All she could think about was why Ian had come to find her.
"Um... this is a long story." Ian snapped out of his reverie about the Riddler's behavior and scratched his head, trying to organize his thoughts.
"Let's go upstairs and talk. I have other food at home." Kara saw that Ian looked like he hadn't eaten enough and felt that as an elder, she should show her concern.
hiss.
Suddenly you've become someone else's elder; it's a truly strange feeling.
"Okay, Auntie, wait for me." After saying that, Ian walked back into the hallway and took out a plastic bag containing many smashed hard drives.
"What is this? Is it trash you picked up outside?"
Kara was puzzled.
“It’s just some frost from a few hours ago.” Ian was clearly still worried about the damaged hard drive, and he spoke to Kara in a pleading tone.
"Could you breathe fire here?"
Two sentences were uttered.
This time, Kara was subjected to hard control.
"Fire-breathing?"
Kara initially thought that it was because she had a communication gap with young people after leaving school, but after thinking about the proof that Ian had just shown her, she felt that the problem might not be with her.
"I can't breathe fire."
Kara sighed helplessly.
"However, I have a stove at home that I can lend you." She offered her suggestion, the kind of solution that any normal person would think of when they need fire.
talking.
Kara then headed towards the elevator.
"Then you still need to practice, Auntie. Breathing fire is way cooler than breathing water." Ian followed up, his repeated remarks making Supergirl a little insecure.
"No, I can't spray water either... Can Clark spray fire and water now? How did he do that?" Kara turned to look at the boy behind her with surprise and doubt.
That's why she's described as a carefree and eccentric super girl.
She was successfully led astray by Ian.
"Keep exercising? Exercise every day, fifty million push-ups, fifty million sit-ups, fifty million weighted squats, I believe you could definitely become a Calabash Brother... able to breathe fire and water." Ian might sometimes tell a little lie, but he felt that this was definitely a white lie to his family.
Believe in the Kryptonians' "idealistic" abilities! Although the Kara does not possess the Kryptonian Codex, it doesn't mean the Kara is so idealistic that she is invincible.
Ian truly believes that one day he will see his aunt breathe fire and water!
You can spray at least one!
"Keep exercising? Will that even work?" Kara was still skeptical, but seeing Ian's serious expression, she couldn't help but start thinking about it seriously.
"Ding~"
Kara pressed the elevator button and went inside, and Ian jogged after her. Before Kara could press her floor button, he preemptively pressed the button for her floor.
"I just moved! Is your dad spying on me?" Kara looked at Ian with a puzzled expression, raising her hands and looking at him with obvious surprise.
"Is it possible that the apartment manager could find your check-in information?" Ian remained very calm, spreading his hands with a slightly confused expression.
He felt that his cousin had gone too far.
"Forehead……"
Kara looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. "I remember that the management of this building is very strict. The administrators usually don't disclose the residents' information to those who inquire."
“Of course, unless you bribe her.” Kara looked at Ian’s empty pockets with a hint of confusion. She didn’t think Ian looked like he had money to bribe anyone.
“No bribe is needed. The administrator is just a young girl.” Ian’s response puzzled Kara. She frowned as if pondering how this had anything to do with Ian obtaining her information.
“Most girls are kind, so just keep smiling at them and they’ll become helpful—auntie, didn’t your father teach you to be wary of that?”
“My dad taught me how to use this technique.” Ian was smiling now, but unlike his previous fake smile, this was a smile of deep agreement with the life experience his father had imparted.
"??????"
Kara was completely bewildered upon hearing this.
She really wanted to know just how abstract the Clark family's educational methods were.
"You didn't come to International City to find me, did you? You didn't ask an innocent girl for the travel expenses, did you?" Kara thought of Ian's empty pockets and the distance between this place and the metropolis.
Ian's remarks were so explosive that they made her deeply suspicious.
“Of course not! How could I do such a thing?” Ian frowned as if he had been offended. He never thought he would accept such a small amount of freeloading.
"That's good."
Kara breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems no innocent girl was fooled by a scumbag.
"So, you flew here by yourself?" Kara seemed unaware of Ian's "adopted son" situation, and she began to wonder about the extent of Ian's awakened abilities.
"I came by car."
Ian shook his head; not being able to fly was also a regret for him. Of course, once he unlocked the profession brought by Homelander, perhaps this regret could be directly made up for.
"Get a ride? Hitch a ride on the street?"
Kara began to speculate. For a child, this was a very dangerous act, but for a child who could catch a bullet in their forehead, she felt there was no need to worry.
“That was my initial plan, but then I ran into a robber who tried to rob me.” Ian had just finished speaking when he heard the elevator stop working.
"Ding~"
The elevator door opens.
Kara led Ian toward the door of her residence.
"Looks like you got to play the hero once."
Supergirl finally found the family's essence in Ian.
"A hero? Perhaps."
Ian's ambiguity piqued Kara's curiosity.
"You defeated the robbers, saved the innocent, and then sent the people you saved to the International City, right?" Kara was still worried that Ian might have killed the robbers.
however.
As it turned out, her worries were somewhat unnecessary.
"No."
Ian shook his head.
