"No one craves your gratitude, Lex, because you are always the one who will extreme emotions!" Eric let go of Lex's hand and replied coldly.
"Even gratitude, under your extreme interpretation, will become a terrifying emotion!"
Lex, gasping for breath, shook his head at Eric, "No, at least our friendship won't become extreme."
"That depends on your future life and emotional changes."
Eric turned around and looked at Betty, who was lying on the ground clutching her chest.
The soul occupying her body looked at Eric with surprise and uncertainty.
She hadn't expected this guy in front of her to possess such strength!
Sealed in the wall after Death, the reason she had the ability to possess others was the bracelet she wore on her hand, which contained green kryptonite.
The bracelet not only granted her the ability of soul possession after her Death but also gave her superhuman strength and speed.
She originally thought ordinary people would not be her match, but she never expected that this guy named Eric Kent possessed strength far beyond her comprehension.
"You are not Betty."
Eric easily saw the soul occupying Betty's body and said with a frown, "Who are you?"
"I…"
Betty took a deep breath, "I am Betty, Eric Kent, I am a member of your fan club, and I'm here to help you get revenge! Revenge on Lex Luthor!"
She pointed at Lex, who was gasping for breath, and said, "He caused your father to have a heart attack! If you don't punish him, then we will do it for you!"
As she spoke, she looked at Hanna and the others.
"This is a decision made by the entire fan club, not just by me!"
Stared at by Betty's crazed eyes, Hanna immediately became nervous.
She now deeply regretted agreeing to this proposal.
"But you are the key, aren't you?"
Eric walked up to Betty, who was lying on the ground, and looked down at her.
"Without you, they…"
As Eric spoke, he looked at the trembling Hanna and the others.
"Are just a bunch of useless people. I can see deeper things in your eyes, but they don't belong to this world!"
Eric bent down, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up, "Tell me, who are you?"
Betty, whose throat was being squeezed by Eric and whose breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, struggled to say to Eric, "Before that, you should ask Lex Luthor! If you want to know more secrets."
"You are right."
Eric nodded, continuously increasing the force in his hand.
"But before that, I'm more interested in you."
"Hmph!"
Betty made an indistinct sound in her throat, and taking advantage of Eric's distracted attention, she kicked out a leg towards Eric.
But the result was that Eric easily blocked it.
Bang!
Betty's body fell heavily to the ground, this time with a more severe impact, even spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The next second, Eric rushed forward.
He grabbed her clothes and threw her directly outside.
Crash!
The room's glass shattered, and Betty was thrown directly outside.
With fear in her eyes, she saw a golden beam of light rushing towards her the next second.
The beam of light emitted by the Star Scepter struck Betty, blasting her to the ground.
The soul occupying her body instantly dissipated from the impact.
She was not like Lana before, whose soul had been blessed by The Trinity Goddess.
Simply empowered by green kryptonite, the result was that when faced with the energy beam attack from the Star Scepter, her soul was directly shattered.
Betty's body lay on the ground, covered in blood, her life hanging by a thread.
Inside the room, seeing Eric directly throw Betty out, Hanna and the others dared not even breathe, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
Eric saw that Betty was already on the ground, severely injured but not immediately dead.
He turned his gaze to Hanna and the others and said coldly, "Take the one downstairs to the hospital while her blood hasn't drained. Also, next time you do something like this, you'd better pray your luck is good enough!"
He had no intention of eliminating all these members of his fan club.
Although they were a group of women with low intelligence, they were not entirely without value.
Seeing Eric instantly deal with Betty, the same Betty who had casually tormented Lex earlier, Hanna and the others, apart from a slight fear in their hearts, felt mostly excitement.
In addition to the idol's aura, there was more worship for their idol becoming a powerful being.
Especially Kogeta, wearing an Owl mask, her eyes shone with abnormal excitement, and her body trembled slightly.
If there weren't so many people present, she probably would have pounced on him directly!
This powerful strength must be the power of the Outer God that Adult Eric described in "cthulhu"!
Could it be that Adult Eric himself is an unnamable existence?!
An intelligent extraterrestrial being from beyond Earth, granted power, destined to rule the world and make the entire world tremble in submission?
Thinking of the excitement and terror, Kogeta was so thrilled that she couldn't even make a sound.
After the failed assassination of Lex, Kogeta was not discouraged; her admiration for Eric even grew more fervent.
On the other side, Lex watched the few assassins leave the room. Although he was a bit annoyed letting them go like that, he didn't stop them.
After being saved by Eric, Lex's emotions towards Eric were now mostly gratitude.
"Don't you understand?"
Looking at the thoughtful Lex, Eric asked him.
"No, I… I understand very well."
Lex had also experienced crazy fans, so he expressed understanding.
"When I was campaigning, I also met a crazy supporter. She was even crazier. Crazy and blind, and blindly crazy!"
Lex thought of the woman who had tried to crack his skull.
"The fact is, there are some things we can't control, so Eric, they are them, you are you, and I will separate that."
Lex exhaled a few breaths and said to the silent Eric, "I still have to thank you. You saved me a second time!"
"Don't say such things, Lex. You look like you're planning something!"
Eric interrupted Lex and asked him.
"Ares Project? Underground Labyrinth?"
Eric's sharp eyes stared at him, "What is this?"
Lex, who had already anticipated Eric's question, had prepared his answer, "It's just a large dam construction project, a massive undertaking specifically for the Smallville area."
"Is that so?"
Eric did not directly expose his lie but turned and walked out.
"Let's assume it is! But, Lex, remember, a lie is a piece of driftwood; it will eventually wash ashore."
Looking at Eric's departing back, Lex, clutching his chest, had a complex look in his eyes.
At the same time, Kent Farm.
Clark was looking at the moon inside the "Secret Fortress" in the barn.
The moonlight overhead shone on the wooden floor of the second story, and the scattered silver glow gave him a sense of peace.
Feeling the moon's embrace, his mood improved somewhat.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood, Clark."
Clark was looking at the distant field scenery by the moonlight when a familiar voice came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw Alicia standing there.
Golden hair, a light yellow knitted cardigan, carrying a lady's handbag, she looked at him with a smile.
"Alicia!"
Seeing the girl standing in front of him, Clark showed a surprised expression.
He didn't expect her to come to see him at this time.
"Surprised? Actually, I'm a bit surprised too."
Biting her lip, Alicia said to Clark, "I think it wouldn't be like me to leave without saying goodbye."
She looked at Clark from downstairs, "I have many things I've hidden from you, Clark. I've always been afraid for you to know. But now, I've decided to tell you my inner secrets, while I still have the courage."
"Alicia…"
Clark looked at this girl who loved to smile, and his heart, which had been clouded with gloom these past few days, was suddenly enveloped by joy.
"I also have many secrets, Alicia, and I want to confide in you too!"
No sooner had Clark finished speaking than he saw another figure enter the barn.
"Although your emotional exchange is very touching, this timing is a bit inappropriate."
A man who walked in from outside the barn said to Clark and Alicia.
"Who are you?"
Clark looked at him warily.
He didn't know why this stranger had entered his family's barn.
Alicia, standing by, stiffened when she saw the man appear.
This man in front of her was the man who had warned her at the ice rink.
She knew without thinking that his presence here at this time could not be for good intentions.
"Me?"
The man smiled slightly at Clark, "I'm here to tell you some information, information about this girl in front of you."
Before Clark could speak, the man continued, "Alicia Baker, once a psychiatric patient, with a record of violent assault and injury. The doctors at the mental hospital suggested that she use a bracelet to restrain her superpowers so that her mind could remain normal; otherwise, she might revert to being mentally ill and be taken back to the mental hospital for more painful treatment."
"She is not a normal person and can never return to a normal life. So, love, and such, are out of reach for a freak like her. And you will become one of the unlucky ones dragged down by her!"
As the man spoke, he pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Clark.
"Don't hate me, farm boy. If you die, only then can she choose to accept her fate. I think your Death is worth it!"
"This senior, she's too normal!"
