Finally seeing the person she had been thinking about, Lois's joy was evident on her face.
"You always knew I was looking for you, didn't you? Why didn't you come out? I want to tell your story to more people."
Lois walked up to Clark, her blue eyes looking directly into his.
"No, humans instinctively reject beings different from them. I am an alien to you. My father always told me to hide my abilities and not to appear different."
"Back then I didn't understand, but when I saw them look at me like a freak, I understood. My father was right!"
"My father even stopped me from saving him to protect my secret. I watched him die in front of me. So now, I just want to help my mother manage our farm and live a peaceful life."
Clark did not agree with Lois's words, merely shaking his head faintly.
"But over the years, you still followed your inner kindness and helped those in need!"
Lois was touched by Clark's words, but still expressed her opinion.
"So, after that, I had to change my identity and move to a different place to continue working, didn't I?"
Faced with Clark's statement, Lois was speechless!
This brief conversation brought a not-so-perfect end to Lois's search over the past week; there was no great point in staying longer.
However, before leaving, she still said to Clark: "In this World, you are not alone. If you want to, you can openly show yourself to the World, just like that flying man soaring over Metropolis."
This was a new vigilante in Metropolis, and the editor of the newspaper had originally assigned her to track and report on it.
But because Lois was busy looking for Clark, this task was temporarily given to another reporter, Jimmy Olsen.
What she didn't know, however, was that the new flying man over Metropolis, wearing a blue suit and red cape with a large S on his chest, was none other than Clark himself.
So, Clark was a little embarrassed by what Lois was saying.
"I think that day will come. If it does, I will definitely give you an exclusive interview."
After thinking for a moment, Clark gave Lois a promise.
"It's a deal then. Oh, I haven't formally introduced myself, my name is Lois Lane, and I'm a reporter for the Daily Planet."
Saying this, Lois extended a hand to Clark.
"My name is Clark Kent, and I'm a farmer at the Kent Farm in Smallville."
Similarly, Clark solemnly shook the extended hand.
For a moment, both felt a jolt, as if struck by electricity.
Watching Lois drive away, Clark stood stunned for a while!
"That's a good girl, son. You should seize the opportunity!"
At some point, Martha had come to Clark's side.
"Mom, when did you get here?"
At this moment, Clark was somewhat startled.
"You were too engrossed. I've been here for a while. I saw you from the window just now and didn't want to disturb you."
"Clark, are you falling for that girl? You look exactly like you did in high school when you faced Lana."
She was very aware of how sharp Clark's senses were, yet she had walked right up to him without being noticed. While part of it was due to them being family, it was mostly because Clark was truly lost in thought.
Lana, whom Martha mentioned, was Clark's first love. However, after Clark decided to leave Smallville to search for his origins, Lana also moved away with her family, so their relationship ended without a definite conclusion.
"Mom, I have a very strange feeling about her, as if I've known her for many years."
Clark himself couldn't understand why he felt such a special connection to Lois; it just felt like fate.
"Clark, that's what love is like. Your father and I were similar when we were young, but he was braver than you. He dared to come to my house to find me on our second meeting, even though my father scared him with a shotgun."
Martha looked at Clark and couldn't help but recall her and her husband's past.
"Mom, Dad never told me these things. Can you tell me?"
Clark was very interested in his parents' love story and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm! Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you after dinner!"
Martha felt no embarrassment about her son's curiosity and readily agreed.
...
At this moment in the Universe, Zod and his group, having just completed a super-long-distance space jump, had arrived outside Earth, their spaceship in orbit with the Moon.
"General, the signal source is coming from here. Based on the information feedback, we know that the El Family's explorer ship is on the Planet ahead, named Earth."
"Kal-El must also be on that Planet. We will find him soon!"
Fiora was reporting the received information to Zod.
"Immediately transmit our message to the natives on Earth. Tell them to hand over Kal-El."
Facing an unknown Planet, Zod did not immediately adopt an aggressive offensive stance, but instead conveyed their intentions to Earth.
After all, Earth also possessed an intelligent civilization. He could not predict what would happen if a conflict broke out, and his loyal old subordinates who followed him were the hope for rebuilding Kryptonian. Losing even one of them would cause him great sorrow.
"Yes, General!"
Fiora received the order and began to execute it!
"Kal-El, we will meet soon. I hope you are different from your father."
Zod and Jor-El were once very good friends, but when faced with the destruction of Kryptonian, their attitudes were completely different, naturally leading to them becoming enemies.
However, since the other party was already dead, any past hatred had dissipated with that destruction.
He was not so petty as to hold a grudge against someone who had already died.
Regarding Clark, Zod's attitude was that as long as he cooperated in rebuilding Kryptonian, he would not hold his father's past transgressions against him, and might even treat him like a nephew.
After all, no matter what, Clark, like them, was the last inheritor of the Kryptonian Bloodline.
At this time, countries on Earth with satellites all discovered Zod's spaceship, but before they could react, a message was forcibly received by all electronic devices globally.
