After all, as Eric's secretary, besides being responsible for his work, she also had to ensure his safety.
Some people approaching Eric had ill intentions, while others were purely satisfying their curiosity to meet an idol.
She had seen quite a few such people before!
As Eric's responsible little secretary, it was impossible for her to just run and tell Eric whenever someone said they wanted to see him.
"Don't you believe me? Or, do I need to prove it?"
Kara took off her black-framed glasses, which were the same style as Hanna's, and casually asked her.
"Not at all."
Hanna thought for a moment and finally decided to trust her.
After all, the other person gave off a very confident vibe.
"Please wait a moment in the seating area ahead. The President rarely comes over, so I need to call him."
Hanna said to the other person.
"OK, thank you!"
Kara smiled and thanked the other person.
Just as Kara was about to leave, a voice sounded behind her.
"No need, Hanna."
Hanna turned back in surprise, realizing that Eric had appeared behind her at some point.
"You go busy yourself."
Eric walked up and said to his little secretary.
"Oh, okay. Then I'll go first, call me if you need anything."
Hanna glanced at Kara, then left the corridor.
"Hey, Eric!"
Kara greeted Eric.
She showed no sign of awkwardness despite not having seen him for years.
"Long time no see, but your appearance hasn't changed much. Hmm, your demeanor hasn't changed much either."
Kara walked over, looking at him with a slight curiosity.
"I'm alright."
Eric looked at Kara, whose face showed curiosity, and said, "You came here, and specifically said you wanted to see me, is there a purpose?"
"A purpose?"
Kara thought for a moment and said, "I want to have a good chat with you, does that count as a purpose?"
"But we didn't have much interaction before, did we?"
Eric stared into her eyes and said, "And at this time, it's hard for me not to suspect your intentions."
"I'm your cousin, Eric! You shouldn't talk to me like that!"
Kara's smiling face vanished, and she spoke to Eric with annoyance.
"Not me, Clark!"
"But you're Clark's brother, aren't you?"
Kara's gaze met Eric's, showing no intention of backing down.
"If you came here to tell me this."
Eric's eyes showed no emotional change.
"Then there's no need for us to talk further. I don't have time to play these debate games with you!"
"Of course, it's not just that."
Kara shook her head and said to Eric, "This isn't a good place to talk. Perhaps we can go somewhere else."
Eric didn't speak, just stared into her eyes. After a long moment, he said, "Alright."
Although he wasn't particularly interested in Supergirl, he wanted to know what she was really up to.
The two left the building and arrived at an open area.
Eric looked at the row of graves in front of him, wondering why she had chosen such a place.
The graveyard, exuding a sense of loneliness and desolation, appeared somewhat gloomy on the overcast day.
"Is it strange?"
Kara looked at Eric and said, "This is a place I used to frequent. A very close family member of mine was buried here after she passed away. Every time I come to Metropolis, I come here to visit."
Feeling the wind by her ears and looking at the desolate graveyard, Kara slowly said, "This feeling is always unpleasant. I understand this feeling. Sometimes, I fantasize about sinking myself into the ocean, or doing something more extreme, like destroying the city I live in, so I wouldn't have any worries."
Kara expressed her inner thoughts, "But I know that's impossible because I still have my sanity!"
"Are you saying I don't have sanity?"
Eric asked with a frown.
"I don't know. Maybe you do, maybe you don't, who knows?! But you know now that you're not normal, and I'm glad. As your cousin, I'm happy to see you like this!"
"You seem like the kind of woman who thinks she controls all truth, but is actually inexperienced. That's my current assessment of you."
Eric told her bluntly.
"Truth or no truth, it doesn't matter! After you lost your father, you deviated from the normal path. Anyone, whether normal or not, would see it. If your father in the grave saw you like this, he definitely wouldn't be happy."
Kara brought up Jonathan.
Before she could finish, Eric reached out and grabbed Kara by the neck, lifting her up.
"Don't talk about my father!"
With a ruthless look in his eyes, Eric threatened her.
At the same time, he adjusted his right hand in the air, released her neck, and squeezed her cheek, controlling her.
Kara, whose cheek was squeezed and couldn't speak, immediately felt a suffocating sensation!
His hand gripped her tightly, making it impossible for her to breathe!
Kara didn't resist, but a look of mockery appeared in her eyes as she stared into Eric's eyes.
Seeing that she wasn't resisting, Eric stopped his actions and slowly released his hand.
"That's right, Eric!"
Kara coughed and said to Eric, "Let me see the real you, let me see what those superheroes saw last before you killed them!"
"You fooled me, you fooled your family, just like you fooled everyone else. They all once believed, believed you were a human, believed you considered yourself a part of humanity. I used to think so too, but you're not!"
"The world in your eyes is different from mine, different from what I see. You see humans as something very fragile, something that needs your protection!"
Kara's tone remained unchanged as she continued to look directly into Eric's eyes.
"But humans are not fragile! They will break you!"
Eric faced Supergirl, slowly shook his head, and said, "If I were you, I'd watch my words."
"Watch my words? No! I'm just speaking the truth."
Kara said dismissively.
"What you consider truth is just the delusion of an immature college student. I know your kind, naive and idealistic, you have everything but brains. You lack anything of value, but you're not short on hormones. It seems that even though you're a Kryptonian, you've perfectly integrated with college students."
Eric adjusted his scarf, turned around, and prepared to leave against the cold wind.
"Go back! Go back to your ivory tower. You shouldn't meddle in these matters! Before I'm completely enraged by you, go back to your own city, consider it my pity for you."
"What if I insist on interfering!"
Kara took a step forward and pressed Eric.
Even if her strength was inferior to his now, she believed that once they started fighting, she wouldn't be the one to fall easily!
After all, her Kryptonian identity gave her enough confidence.
"Then you'd better be prepared to become my enemy!"
Eric stopped, turned around in the graveyard, and faced Supergirl.
"Believe me, you don't want to be against me! Even you, if you block my path, I still won't show mercy!"
"What will you do? Kill me?"
Kara asked sharply.
"It's your choice!"
With that, he didn't give her another chance to speak and left directly.
Facing Eric's arrogant remarks, Kara was seething with anger.
"Hey! Don't leave! Was it you who messed with my spaceship?"
It was only then that Kara remembered she had forgotten to ask the most important question.
The question of where he had hidden her spaceship.
Watching Eric's disappearing back, she quickly chased after him.
After running out of the graveyard, she found that his figure had already vanished.
In the lonely graveyard, she was the only one standing there.
Around her, fog began to gather.
Under the gloomy sky, the fog started to spread in the graveyard, perfectly mirroring her mood at that moment.
Meanwhile, on Oa, the Green Lantern Corps.
Oa is located at the center of the universe, serving as the home of the Guardians of the Universe and the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps.
From Oa as the center, the Guardians of the Universe divided the entire universe into 3600 sectors, and in each sector, they recruited suitable intelligent life forms to join the Green Lantern Corps, then assigned Corps members to each sector to be responsible for the security and patrol of that area.
Oa is located in Sector 0.
As the center of the Guardians, it is where countless Lantern Ring wielders gather!
The Central Assembly Hall, the Central Power Battery Foundry, the Green Lantern Memorial Hall, the Lantern Ring Service Hall, the Lantern Ring Disaster Simulation Device, a sci-fi training planetary fortress, and the "New Warrior" themed restaurant, as well as the Sector House for observing the universe, and the High-Tech Prison for incarcerating criminals.
These are all landmarks on Oa!
The Guardians of the Universe, small figures with Green Lantern ring symbols on their chests, were seated together, holding a crucial meeting.
"Earth."
One of the Elders said, "There's a significant political upheaval on Earth!"
His gaze rested on the projection of Earth displayed in the middle of the conference table.
"You spend too much time observing Earth. It's just one planet."
Another Guardian with graying hair said.
"But this is the center, how many events and disasters have spread from here, and how many heroes originated from this planet!"
The Elder observing Earth said, "And now, a very important event is happening here, and it's spreading out into the universe. If we don't take it seriously, we will definitely suffer very severe consequences!"
"There are no consequences. This universe has no center; everything develops in an orderly fashion! If we interfere too much with the development of this planet, it will lead to an imbalance in the entire universe."
The gray-haired Guardian said.
