Kara Becomes a Monster

When does a man truly grow up?

For Li Ang, perhaps it was the moment he became the 'Godfather'.

Before, he had no real ambitions. Life was short, he thought, so he just wanted to seize the day.

But after he got Kara, he felt he had matured.

At the very least, he had to give Kara the best environment.

Let her grow up healthy, let her have a good worldview, let her become 'Supergirl'.

So now, what he looked forward to most every day was nothing more than coming home from work to see Kara and making her happy—that was the most important thing.

Before he had Kara, Li Ang felt he could see his entire life laid out before him.

Just like countless party animals in America, living in a drunken stupor, crazily hooking up, chasing short-lived, extreme pleasure.

Now, it was different.

So Li Ang was tempted, but he didn't agree to Sophia. Instead, he said he needed to think it over.

Sophia wasn't surprised. She hadn't expected Li Ang to agree just like that.

If Li Ang had agreed so easily, she wouldn't have dared to use him.

If he could betray the Penguin so readily, he would betray her just as easily in the future.

And so, the carefree Sophia simply took her leave.

She was dressed in an off-white women's suit; no one could tell she was the 'Executioner'.

"What did she say to you?"

As soon as Sophia was out of earshot, Li Ang immediately asked Kara.

Kara walked over and said, "She asked about your situation. I don't like her, Godfather."

"Me neither."

"Then why didn't you let me make a move?"

Kara asked.

To this, Li Ang had to patiently explain.

He couldn't just keep telling Kara not to do things; he had to make her understand why she couldn't.

"She's the head of the Falcone family. If you revealed your strength, we wouldn't be able to stay in Gotham. Do you want to be on the run again like before?"

Kara immediately pursed her lips, understanding the reason.

Then she promptly said, "So if I put on a mask like Spider-Man, can I be a superhero then?"

Kryptonians were capable of 'psychological hypnosis', even using glasses to fool others.

So, Superman's family never needed masks.

Thus, Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "You're not like Spider-Man."

"Then who am I like?"

"You are you. One of a kind."

Li Ang pinched her cheek.

Kara was the cute type, with a bit of baby fat on her face.

She was only a little over ten years old, but she still enjoyed it.

"Godfather, let's not agree to her. I think it's fine living here, and any school is meaningless to me."

With a Super Brain, Kara only needed to scan a book once to remember it, so an elite school was useless to her anyway.

But Li Ang knew that the most important thing about school was the environment.

"Let's eat first."

Li Ang was noncommittal.

On the weekend, Kara went out early in the morning.

She was going to participate in a two-day outdoor activity with her school. For Li Ang, this was a rare moment of relaxation.

Although he was used to being with Kara, he still cherished this opportunity.

He was already prepared to not come home that night.

So, Li Ang tidied himself up properly, shaved his beard clean, and prepared a decent suit.

They say clothes make the man. Li Ang looked at himself in the mirror; he was very handsome.

He ate a little something at noon to get himself in the right state.

But before he could go out, the home phone rang.

"Hello, is this Kara's family?"

"Yes, it is."

Li Ang felt the voice was familiar—it was Kara's teacher.

He froze for a moment. Could something have happened to Kara?

"Please come to the scene immediately..."

"What happened?"

Li Ang asked quickly.

The teacher didn't answer, instead saying, "You'll know when you get here. I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

The call had already ended. Li Ang instantly lost all desire to go out and have fun.

He hurried out the door, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and told the driver the address.

The driver was an old white guy. Seeing how anxious Li Ang looked, he asked, "Something important?"

"Of course. My goddaughter seems to be in trouble. Please hurry."

"No problem. Hold tight."

The old white guy driver said this, then immediately shifted gears and floored the gas.

So even though the distance wasn't far, they arrived in just twenty minutes.

Coventry, located north of Robinson Park, was in the heart of Gotham. It was a rare area without any gang presence.

Gotham Middle School's activity was originally planned to cross the Subway Bridge to Metropolis, but who would have thought something would happen before they even left Gotham?

"We're here."

The old white guy driver said, "That'll be 34 dollars."

Li Ang simply handed over two twenties, effectively giving a tip, since the guy had driven like a maniac the whole way.

"Thanks. Have a great day."

The driver broke into a smile.

But clearly, this day was far from great.

Li Ang got out of the car and looked up to see the infamous Arkham Asylum on the opposite shore.

Arkham Asylum was located on the outskirts, like a small isolated island, built to resemble a prison.

Arkham Asylum was completely surrounded by the Gotham River, accessible only by the Sanmen Bridge.

Li Ang didn't dwell on this prestigious institution teeming with talent. Instead, he looked at the scene along the Gotham River.

Several police cars were parked there. A school bus was stopped by the riverbank, and many students were huddled together crying, while teachers tried to comfort them.

"She's a monster."

"I don't want to be classmates with a monster. It's too scary."

"I'm transferring schools. Oh my god..."

The murmurs reached Li Ang's ears, and he immediately walked over.

"Teacher Emma."

Li Ang quickly found Kara's teacher.

"Mr. Li Ang? Kara is over there."

Teacher Emma pointed to the side. Kara was sitting alone on a chair, and none of the other students dared to get near her.

Seeing this, Li Ang felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, then strode over.

Kara was soaking wet, but given her constitution, she obviously wouldn't catch a cold. Yet she was still hugging herself tightly.

Seeing her looking so hurt and fragile, Li Ang quickly pulled her into his arms.

His suit was instantly soaked through, but Li Ang didn't care.

"What happened? Kara?"

"Godfather!"

She burst into tears in his arms. "I'm sorry!"

In all this time, he had never seen her cry so bitterly. Even when she thought about everything on Krypton, she was only filled with melancholy.

"It's okay now. I'm here."

Li Ang quickly stroked her blonde hair, calming her down.

Then, he learned what had happened.

It turned out that by the river, the school bus had suddenly gone out of control. Combined with the driver panicking and swerving to avoid an oncoming vehicle, it had plunged straight into the river.

At that moment, Kara had forgotten Li Ang's words. She had exposed her abilities and reached out to help these people.

She had single-handedly pushed the submerged school bus back up. Naturally, all the students and teachers had seen it.

And then, this scene had unfolded.

Kara had become a monster.
