A Difficult Choice

"But one day—I mean, if one day, before you've figured out how to stand up and face everything—even if I'm about to die in front of you, don't choose to save me!"

Fifteen years ago, the night Robet arrived, Clark, who exposed his abilities to save someone, heard Jonathan's solemn warning, and now that warning echoed in Clark's ears again.

Yes, Jonathan repeated the same words because he knew Clark could hear him. Fifteen years had passed, his kindness hadn't changed, and his desire to protect his son hadn't changed either.

Even though Clark had grown up, in Jonathan's heart, Clark was still that child lost under the starry sky, confused about his origins and the meaning of his existence.

Even if it meant dying in this tornado, Jonathan didn't want to see Clark and Robet reveal their abilities in front of so many people...

"Clark! Are you crazy?!" Robet struggled to break free from Clark's iron grip, while angrily shouting through telepathic mind-speak, "The tornado is coming, are you going to watch Dad die?!"

"Dad wouldn't agree to us saving him..." Clark was stunned when he heard the voice directly in his brain, then said with some grief, "He already told me not to interfere..."

"That was to you! Not me!" Robet didn't care about exposure. The Ki in his body surged violently, and he shouted with furious anger, "If you don't save him, don't stop me. What's the big deal about revealing our abilities? Is anything more important than Dad's life?!!!"

"Clark, your biological parents sacrificed themselves, but Mom and Dad raised you, they are your parents. If you watch Dad die like this and don't let me save him, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Let me go, let me save him!"

"It's too late. At your speed, there's no way to save Dad..." Hearing Robet's words, Clark subconsciously released Robet's hand, but soon his brain raced, and he sighed with a struggle in his eyes.

After calculating that Robet couldn't save Jonathan, Clark also wanted to save Jonathan, but Jonathan's instructions still echoed in Clark's ears, leaving Clark in a dilemma...

On one side was his father's life, and on the other side was his father's years of teaching and warnings, as well as the dangers of exposing his abilities. Clark didn't know what to choose for a moment...

"Damn it! Then do something! I have a way to keep you from being discovered! Just act! Hurry! It'll be too late if you don't act!" Robet's rich experience also calculated that he couldn't save Jonathan. He suddenly thought of a move, and a roaring voice echoed angrily in Clark's brain, causing Clark, who was in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose, to subconsciously act according to Robet's voice.

With a "swoosh," Clark's figure shot out directly. At the same time, Robet's Ki erupted violently, quickly transforming into light energy, illuminating everything around like dazzling sunlight.

Solar Flare!

The surrounding crowd, facing the onslaught of strong light, closed their eyes one after another. Even if they didn't close their eyes, their vision turned into a white blur, and they couldn't see anything.

Even Jonathan, who was far away at the edge of the tornado, was also affected by the strong light. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and then felt his body lighten, uncontrollably leaving the ground.

Jonathan thought he had been swept up by the tornado. He knew in his heart that only death awaited him. And when death arrived, Jonathan's heart was suddenly filled with reluctance, for Clark, Robet, and for Martha...

"Goodbye, Clark, Robet, Martha, I will watch over you from heaven..." Thinking of this, Jonathan sighed sadly and murmured in a low voice.

"Dad, what goodbye? Aren't we right here?" Just then, Robet's voice came into Jonathan's brain, "Shh! Don't talk nonsense, you evacuated with us, you weren't left behind by the tornado..."

"Huh? You..." Jonathan came back to his senses when he heard Robet's voice and subconsciously opened his eyes, only to realize that he was already sitting next to Clark, surrounded by people who had survived the disaster, watching the tornado move away in another direction.

"Wuwuwu, we survived, it was so scary..."

"What was that strong light just now? It was like a flashbang, I couldn't see anything..."

"It's the sun, I even felt the warmth of the sun. Look, hasn't the sun already come out?"

"It must have been too dark when the tornado was here, and our eyes didn't adapt to the sudden appearance of sunlight, so we felt it was dazzling! But it looks like the sun is celebrating for us!"

"Yes, this is really a narrow escape! God bless!"

"Amen!"

The surrounding people discussed animatedly, celebrating their survival. A trace of fatigue flashed in Robet's eyes. In order for the Solar Flare to have enough shielding effect, he had converted all the Ki in his body into light energy. In addition, guiding the attention of so many people just now was also a huge drain on Robet's spirit, so Robet looked a little tired...

Yes, the reason why the people around were focusing on the sun was because of Robet's hypnotic suggestion. Otherwise, if the huge light source of the Solar Flare wasn't explained a little, someone would become suspicious.

Robet wasn't worried that someone would directly suspect him, but he was mainly worried that those people would regard the bright light source as a miracle, and then publicize it and attract attention. That wouldn't be good.

"I'm sorry, Robet, you were right!" Just as Robet was exhausted, Clark looked at Robet with a face full of apology and fear and said in a low voice, "I'm already scared now. If I really didn't save Dad, but watched him being swallowed by the tornado, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life..."

"Were you really not discovered?" Jonathan heard Clark's words, and although he was glad that he had survived, he still looked at Clark and Robet with some worry and asked in a low voice.

"If we were discovered, would they be so calm?" Robet smiled, spread his hands, and said softly, "Didn't they say? The sudden sunlight made them unable to see anything..."

"Just a little bit, just a little bit and you would have left us!" At this time, Martha came back to her senses from the panic. She threw herself into Jonathan's arms and said with some fear, "I really can't imagine how I would live my life if you were really gone..."

Seeing this, Jonathan no longer questioned his two sons, but rubbed his aching arm and gently comforted Martha's emotions.

"Thank you!" Seeing this scene, Clark looked at Robet with a solemn expression and said.

"Thank me for what? Aren't they my parents too?" Robet rolled his eyes, pretending to be angry, and asked.
