I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Lucifer wore a mysterious smile.

"He came into this world more than a decade before you, he was already on Earth, and..."

He's doing very well now.

Chapter 126 The Other Side of the Sea

On the rough sea.

A dilapidated medium-sized fishing boat was tossed about in the wind and rain.

The churning waves pounded against the deck, the ship's masts creaked and groaned under the storm's tearing, and the steel cages hanging from them swayed precariously...

suddenly!

With a 'bang',

The already strained, thin steel cable could no longer withstand the onslaught of the gale and snapped, sending the steel cage crashing down onto the deck below!

But right below the trap, a young crew member was standing there dumbfounded.

He was clinging to the railing for balance, watching the other crew members carrying fishing gear, completely unaware of the impending danger…

At the critical moment!

A figure darted out from the side and tackled him to the ground!

Bang! ! !

The metal cage, weighing over a hundred pounds, slammed onto the deck behind the two men with a heavy thud!

All the crew members were startled.

The two of them looked back with lingering fear.

But the next second,

But then they both looked at each other's faces and laughed heartily.

At this moment, the waves on the sea gradually subsided, and the rocking ship gradually stabilized.

The man who had tackled the young man stood up, reached out a hand to the person on the ground, and helped him up.

He laughed and scolded:

"Watch out, newbie!"

The young man wasn't annoyed. He stood up and patted the man's arm lightly, his face showing gratitude.

"You saved me, this newbie, once again."

Thanks.

Clark.

"Why did you say again?"

Clark gave the other person a strange look, while bending down to pick up the tools that had been scattered all over the ground during the rescue.

The young man, meanwhile, stroked his chin, appearing thoughtful.

"Let me think, the last time you saved me was when... Oh right!"

It's in Lana's tavern!

He punched Clark in the chest with some excitement.

“Please, Lex…”

Clark was busy with his work, looking somewhat helpless.

"That was two years ago, and it certainly didn't save your life."

"Of course forget it!"

Lex exclaimed dramatically, "If you hadn't shown up in time, I would have been beaten to death by that guy!"

"Who told you to provoke them..."

And he's almost twice your size, plus he's the only boxing coach in town.

As Clark spoke, he had already gathered the scattered tools back into the box.

The box looked heavy, and he lifted it with some difficulty, then slowly moved his feet to the other side.

Seeing this, Lex quickly stepped forward to help carry the boxes, and then continued Clark's earlier words:

"But if he hadn't harassed Lana first, I wouldn't have provoked him."

But then again, you're really lucky, you managed to win Lana over in the end.

Lex's eyes held a hint of envy.

"yes…"

Upon hearing this, Clark's face beamed with undisguised happiness, and he murmured:

I also find it incredible.

Lana actually liked me, a poor boy who grew up on a farm; I still feel like I'm dreaming.

"Hey, don't talk about yourself like that... bro."

Lex chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, then said seriously:

You will achieve great things.

"Maybe…"

Clark responded somewhat hesitantly, and the two of them, leaning on the railing, gazed into the distance…

Under the azure sky, flocks of seabirds flew by, and below them stretched the horizon to the horizon.

"you say,

What's on the other side of the sea?

Clark gazed at the calm sea, a hint of longing seemingly hidden in his eyes.

How would I know what's over there?

Lex casually remarked, then stepped forward and hooked his arm around Lex's neck, a mischievous grin on his face, as they discussed whether to go out for drinks or play pool that night.

Or perhaps you could go to a newly opened bar and 'admire' the new waitresses.

But Clark didn't want to talk about that right now and pressed on:

"Lex, you said before that you had been to Metropolis..."

What is a metropolis like?

"It's nothing special, just like what you heard on the radio."

Afterward, Lex made some casual conversation about 'men's topics,' and gradually, Clark stopped asking questions.

Anyway, he was just a little curious; he didn't really want to go.

Although he had once considered venturing out into the world...

But here are his loving parents, his childhood best friends, and...

His favorite, Lana.

He knew very well that these were the things he truly desired.

So that thought had long been buried deep in his heart.

Thinking of this, Clark carefully took out an exquisite ring from his pocket, held it in his hand, and examined it.

His face was full of trepidation and anticipation.

Wow! Are you finally going to propose to her?

When Lex saw the ring on his hand, he deliberately shouted it out in an exaggerated tone, instantly attracting the attention of the other crew members.

They all came forward, offering Clark either blessings or making jokes, saying things that seemed irrelevant.

Clark was a little embarrassed for a moment, blushing and scratching the back of his head.

As the sun set, the fishing boats, having completed their journey of several days, returned to the port.

After disembarking and parting ways with everyone, Clark declined Lex's invitation to go for a drink at the newly opened bar and headed home in town with his bag on his back.

"Hey! Good evening, Clark."

As they passed the watch shop, an elderly man with white hair greeted Clark from behind the counter.

Good evening, Mr. Buck.

Clark smiled and nodded in response, thinking to himself that Mr. Buck was still the same as before, always sitting here to greet him whenever he returned from a sea voyage.

This has been the case for over a decade…

Afterwards, he encountered several acquaintances on the road who greeted him warmly, and Clark responded with a smile.
