Chapter 841 Bayonetta: Becoming a witch? And shocking dad for a whole year!

Listening to Chloe's words, Clark looked at the map.

"Is this Lone Pine Ridge?"

"Yes, two cute little girls, a boy and a girl, were playing games at Lone Pine Ridge, and the girl's wings broke, and the boy flew away."

Clark listened to Chloe's teasing, hesitated for a moment, and asked her: "Why don't you think it was a man who killed her?"

Chloe shook her head and said, "I don't think most people can do this."

"Just think about it, Clark. Hanging a person on a tree within five minutes is not something that ordinary people can do."

Clark nodded, with a thoughtful expression, "Unless that guy has been exposed to Kryptonian crystal."

He stood up and said to Chloe, "I think we should go to the hospital to see that guy."

"good idea."

Chloe stood up, waved to the waiter, paid the bill, and left Talon Cafe with Clark.

The two then drove to the medical center.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chloe propped herself up with her arms and watched the scenery flash by outside.

After looking at the scenery for a while, she suddenly turned around and asked Clark, "Your godfather and his family disappeared before. Where did they go? Did the whole family go out for a trip?"

Chloe was quite interested in the disappearance of Peter's family a few days ago.

She has always been interested in the mysterious Peter family.

"Why didn't they take you, Clark?"

Chloe asked a question that concerned Clark.

"Uh no, Godfather and the others are not traveling, they are out there participating in a competition."

Although Clark was a little concerned that Peter didn't take him, he quickly adjusted his mood and didn't let Chloe see it.

"Contest?"

"Is it a competition about who will be Peter's favorite child?"

Chloe knew that A-Zu and the others had been competing with each other openly or secretly, so she asked jokingly.

"almost."

Clarke is not very clear about what happened in the specific "war for the cape".

He only knew that Riven seemed to be the final winner.

"If I get married in the future and have so many daughters and sons, I will definitely collapse."

Chloe said with some sympathy: "I understand your godfather's dilemma, Clark."

"correct!"

Chloe raised her voice in surprise, "I heard there's a new little girl on the farm recently?"

"Yes, her name is Theresa, Theresa Padrick."

Clark said to Chloe while driving: "She is very cute and a little shy. She likes wearing glasses like me."

"Well, I'm used to Peter picking up alien babies every once in a while now."

Chloe complained to him: "I used to suspect that Loki and Star-Lord were the sons of Teacher Martha."

The two chatted and soon entered the town's medical center.

In the ward.

Chloe gently opened the door and let Clark in, then they both looked towards the unconscious guy on the bed.

"We have to hurry, Clark, his mother is in the restaurant now and will probably be back soon."

As she spoke, she walked quickly to the bed and picked up the patient's medical records.

"This guy is seriously injured."

Chloe looked at the diagnosis report and said to Clark, "It's much better than his girlfriend hanging on the tree though."

Clark came over, looked at the unconscious man, frowned and asked Chloe: "Can he wake up?"

"I don't know. It says he lost a lot of blood and his internal organs were damaged."

Chloe put down the medical records and said, "I think we should focus our investigation on Lex. A short distance east from Lone Pine Ridge is Lex's home. Their laboratory botanical garden is nearby. If we investigate Lex, we may find something."

Clark listened to Chloe's words, shook his head and said, "It's probably too early to conclude that Lex is the murderer."

He has a good relationship with Lex and doesn't think Lex is that kind of person.

"You forgot that Lex had contact with Kara's spaceship before. He is not as harmless as he appears. Clark, this guy likes to plot as much as his father does."

Seeing Chloe's insistence, Clark couldn't say anything more. He took out the key and said, "Whether he is a suspect or not, I think we need to visit him first."

After half an hour.

Clark parked the car outside the botanical garden and asked Chloe to wait for him. He went into the manor alone to take a look at the situation.

After entering the botanical garden, Clark was dazzled by the colorful flowers that were blooming in all their splendor.

The plants that exuded fragrance quickly attracted his attention.

Squinting his eyes, Clark walked over to a potted plant with red flowers in full bloom.

Reaching out his hand, he touched the flowers of the red plant.

The moment they touched each other, a voice sounded from behind.

"Good vision, Clark."

Hearing the voice, Clark turned around suddenly and saw Lex in a black suit walking towards him.

Lex, walking leisurely with his hands in his pockets, introduced her to Clark: "This is the 'Femme Fatale'. Her beautiful appearance hides a murderous nature."

Clark took his hand back in surprise. "So, does that mean this flower has a conspiracy?" Lex smiled. "I think this is the result of survival of the fittest, isn't it?"

Clark nodded, looked at the flowers, and asked him, "There is a rare vine in Lone Pine Ridge that can kill people."

Lex interrupted him before he could finish.

"So, Clark, you came to me to stop me from taking over the world with plants?"

Lex said as he walked up behind him.

"Wow, this conspiracy of mine is really creative!"

Then he turned around and asked Clark: "In your eyes, Clark, am I the kind of person who likes to plot?"

"No, Lex, I just..."

Clark wanted to say that wasn't what he meant.

But he was a little speechless.

Perhaps in his subconscious, he also felt that this was Lex's conspiracy.

After all, the other party had investigated the godfather and his own parents.

“I just saw some reports on TV.”

Clark quickly found an excuse for himself, "Some reports about you."

"Clark, the media is not a good thing."

Lex said to him slowly: "You know what? But when I was 13 years old, I was still in boarding school, and a reporter came to me and asked me what I thought about my mother's death."

"In front of my classmates, a microphone was pointed at me and I almost couldn't stand. It was not until that moment that I knew my mother was gone. We can't let the media destroy our lives."

Listening to Lex's words, Clark felt a little strange.

He hadn't expected Lex to have a life like this.

"Thank you, thank you for telling me this, Lex."

Clark took a deep breath and said to him, "I have to go."

"Wouldn't you like to visit my plants?"

Lex told him not to be anxious and to visit his botanical garden first.

"No, I still have something to do."

Clark declined the invitation.

Seeing Clark was about to leave, Lex had no choice but to send him out.

On the way, Lex asked him about Theresa.

"I heard that Mr. Padrick has a new daughter named Theresa. Clark, do you know her?"

Lex asked Clark pretending to be casual.

"Yes, I know her, but I haven't been to the Godfather's farm recently, so I don't know her very well. She is the Godfather's daughter and was boarding at someone else's house before."

Clark bullshitted to Lex.

The two of them left the botanical garden while talking.

After Clark got in the car, Lex looked at Clark's back as he drove away, his eyes narrowed.

conspiracyI have no conspiracy, but you, Clark, have always had a conspiracy.

The next day.

Peter drove Theresa to the town church.

"In the distant past, in Vigrid in Europe, there lived people called History Observers. There were also witches colluding with demons, and sages allied with angels, who opposed each other and checked each other."

Peter told Theresa, who was sitting in the passenger seat holding a Shiba Inu doll, the story about Theresa's world.

"However, the appearance of the Forbidden Child broke this balance. She is the product of a private relationship between a witch and a sage. The ancient legend has come true. The Forbidden Child's body contains the power of the Creator's 'Left Eye'. When the Left Eye and the Right Eye converge, the Creator will descend and create a new world."

Peter said to her while driving: "So in order to fight for the power of the forbidden child 'left eye', the angels and the witches started a protracted conflict."

Listening to Peter's story, Theresa hugged the little Shiba Inu in her arms and asked Peter uneasily, "Dad, who is the bad guy and who is the good guy between the angel and the witch?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Peter said to Theresa, "Aren't you going to be a witch? Then in Dad's eyes, witches are good people."

When Theresa heard what Peter said, a happy expression appeared on her face.

But she quickly whispered, "I want to be a witch, but I want to be Daddy's farmer even more."

"what?"

Peter was looking at the road ahead and didn't hear what Theresa was mumbling.

"Nothing, Daddy."

Theresa quickly sat up straight and looked forward.

After driving for a while, the car arrived near the church.

After Peter got off the car, he looked at the somewhat dilapidated church in front of him, then took Theresa's hand and walked inside.

Since Peter had called in advance, he was soon welcomed in by an elderly nun, the person in charge of the church.

Ranger Gloria heard the sound and came out wearing a white nun's costume.

"Hello, Mr. Padraic."

Ranger Gloria smiled and held out her hand to Peter. "I'm Gloria, Gloria Wilson."
