He found that a severe fire had broken out in a building one street away.
And he also saw residents trapped in the burning rooms.
"It looks like it's on fire," Amy said to Clark, looking in surprise at the constantly spreading smoke outside.
As she turned her head, she saw that Clark, who had been sitting opposite her, was gone.
The swivel chair he had been sitting on was still spinning, making a "creaking" sound.
"Alright!" Amy shrugged. "This must be Superman's daily job."
Clark didn't have time to change into his uniform. He casually grabbed a baseball cap from a nearby display and put it on, then activated his super speed to rush to the fire.
He kicked open the anti-theft iron door and walked towards the smoke-filled, fire-engulfed area.
The flames spread continuously, and the burning ceiling above groaned under the strain, then crashed down with a bang.
Clark raised his arm to block the flames that were falling on him.
He activated his X-ray vision and quickly found two girls in the direction of the restroom.
Amidst the crackling sound of burning flames, Clark quickly moved in front of them.
He embraced the two little girls, whose faces were covered in tears from fright, and left the place at the fastest possible speed.
Because the fire was burning so intensely, it ignited nearby explosives.
Boom!
An explosion occurred in the room, and the enormous roar directly covered all other sounds.
Clark used his body to shield himself from the explosive flames rushing towards him.
Holding the two little girls, he slowly descended from the fifth floor.
The mother, who had been crying hysterically, saw Clark rescue her two daughters and immediately rushed over excitedly.
"Thank you, thank you!" The mother thanked Clark excitedly.
Clark smiled slightly, intending to turn and leave.
"Wait, are you…" The mother, holding her two daughters, looked at Clark, who was wearing glasses and a baseball cap, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Are you Superman?!" Seeing that someone recognized him, Clark immediately prepared to slip away.
The surrounding people, hearing someone say Superman had appeared, immediately gathered around.
"Is that Superman?!"
"Has Superman really appeared?!"
The surrounding onlookers were searching for Clark's figure, but found that he had already disappeared.
Amy, standing at the very back, watched Clark rescue the two little girls and then disappear, her emotions a bit complex.
"This must be the meaning of Superman's existence!"
The next day.
Eric was at the Justice Society Headquarters, discussing with Wonder Woman, Mera, Green Lantern, and others how to deal with the Atlantians.
His assistant, Hanna, handed him a newspaper.
Eric looked at the photo on the front page, his expression turning somewhat serious.
The news on the front page was a story about a "billionaire's return."
The photo showed a strong man with a buzz cut, surrounded by police and reporters. His eyes were full of vigilance, much like a wild beast that had strayed into a concrete jungle.
"Is it him?" Eric thought for a moment, then told Hanna, "I know."
"Do we need to take action against him?" Hanna asked Eric.
After all, this man who appeared in the news was one of the people Eric had asked to pay special attention to.
"Not for now! If he's sensible." Eric looked out the window, a sharp glint in his eyes.
Meanwhile.
The person Eric was concerned about stood in the room with a complex expression.
He stood in his own room, gazing at the dark night outside.
Having just returned from a jungle society to modern society, he was still a bit unaccustomed.
It was raining outside; the continuous rain had started in the afternoon and continued into the night, feeling even more intense.
The pouring rain, lightning, and thunder—the harsh weather couldn't help but make him recall the difficult life on Purgatory Island.
Before entering Purgatory Island, he was still an uneducated scion, relying on his superior family background and handsome appearance to wander among women, capturing the innocent hearts of many naive young girls. He was truly a paradigm of a playboy.
At that time, he was complacently indulging in a frivolous life, freely seeking pleasure, completely unaware of the cruelty of his future fate.
