Chapter 320 The Butterfly Effect
Smallville High School.
The entire stadium of the school was transformed into a bar by the American high school youths. They all wore various dresses and had bright smiles on their faces.
For these energetic American high school youths, the American High School Dance is undoubtedly the "best activity for making friends, falling in love and developing relationships."
However, Lana was not in a very good mood today.
"What on earth did you go to do? Whitney, don't lie to me?"
Lana glared at her boyfriend Whitney, who looked depressed. No matter how the guys in front of her tried to cover up, she could still see the bruises on their bodies from the fight.
You know, even if Lin Jue held back his strength, a normal blow would leave a bruise wherever he hit.
Even the dark face of the black youth in the football team, although it was not visible because of the skin color, the left half of his face was two circles fatter than the right half!
As for Whitney, the pain in his jaw made the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitch from time to time, and his friends were limping one by one, so they couldn't hide what happened to them.
"Lana, we..."
Whitney couldn't find any reason for a while. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were just going to fight.
Lana took Whitney's hand away, turned around and walked away with a stern face.
"Lana? Lana! Damn it!"
Looking at the figure walking away, Whitney's face was full of dejection. He originally planned to teach Clark a lesson, but he didn't expect that he and others would also be taught a lesson. Now even his girlfriend left angrily. It seems that they are the most unlucky in the whole high school dance.
"Whitney, that Asian is too scary. Let's avoid him next time we see him. I couldn't even touch him, and he knocked me to the ground. God, it's true that Xia people know Kung Fu!"
"If we hadn't taught Clark a lesson tonight, we wouldn't have encountered such a thing. Whitney, you have a responsibility. Shit! I don't know how to meet my girlfriend! She said she would dress up tonight! Whitney, you ruined everything!"
One side of the black youth left angrily with his face swollen like a steamed bun. Compared with others, he was the most ashamed to see people.
He had to think carefully about how to explain to his girlfriend next.
As for the other members of the football team, they also left with a depressed look. As the most famous football team in Smallville High School, most of them have their own girlfriends. They should have been the most eye-catching group of people at this dance, but now, tonight's high school dance has become their nightmare.
"..."
Looking at the departing companions, Whitney was at a loss.
...
"Clark? You're here?"
Walking in the hall, Lana, who was angry because Whitney had concealed something from her, had her eyes light up and walked quickly towards the gymnasium entrance.
"Lana?"
Subconsciously looking around the girl, Clark breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Whitney. He wasn't afraid of Whitney, but he didn't want to have a conflict with others in front of Lana.
"Clark, can you dance with me?"
Lana smiled. Although she still had resentment towards Whitney in her heart, Clark's arrival made her feel a little better.
Unlike Whitney, who was causing trouble everywhere, Clark was really honest and dutiful!
"Can I?"
Clark was a little unconfident. He looked at the girl in front of him with trepidation. As Lana approached, he no longer felt the feeling that had made him almost faint.
Is it really that thing... Can I get close to Lana?
Clark felt a strong joy in his heart. Looking at the girl coming towards him, he suppressed his beating heart and carefully held Lana's hand, completely forgetting that there was another thing waiting for him to deal with.
Under the elegant and graceful music, the young people in Smallville danced and laughed, not noticing the arrival of an uninvited guest.
Standing on the second floor of the gymnasium, looking down at the high school students dancing below, Jerome's eyes were full of coldness. In his painful memories, it was at this time of the season that he encountered the most painful thing in his life.
He looked at the young people laughing and talking below, as if he saw the guys who had bullied him.
"I won't let you live so happily!"
After leaving this sentence, he turned and walked towards the exit of the gymnasium.
Click-
Accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity, the young people who were dancing in the hall looked up one by one.
The searchlight flashing with colorful light began to flicker. At this moment, Clark, who stopped dancing because of the special situation, changed his expression. He looked at Lana who also raised her head and looked at the light in confusion.
Because of dancing with Lana, he forgot that the town of Smallville was not safe now, and a guy with an almost antisocial personality was trying to retaliate against them.
Click!
With the sound of electricity, the stadium's searchlights sparked, and it seemed that they could not bear the overload of electricity, so they exploded on the spot, and the glass fragments of the lamps fell down.
This sudden situation made the young people in the entire venue scream continuously, and they ran out of the venue in a panic.
Clark hugged Lana, who was so scared that she curled up, and supported her, following the crowd to leave here first.
"Hey, Clark, you guy!"
Whitney, who was mixed in the crowd, suddenly saw his girlfriend being supported by Clark, and suddenly he was furious again. He rushed over regardless of the current situation.
Bang!
Looking at Clark, who was holding his fist with one hand and not changing his expression, with a look of astonishment, Whitney's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this situation.
Where is the tall guy who would fall down if he just pushed him lightly?
Clark did not try to fight back against Whitney, but said solemnly: "Whitney, now is not the time to have a conflict!"
Lana, who was standing by, recovered from the shock and could not help but scold softly.
"Whitney! What are you doing?"
"Lana..."
Whitney suddenly broke free from Clark's hand, her face looking ugly.
"Let's go out first, this is not the place to talk!"
As the lamps shattered, the entire venue was shrouded in darkness. Clark let go of Lana and watched Whitney help her walk out the door.
"Thank God! Clark, we finally found you, it's Jerome, that guy destroyed the wires and cables of the gymnasium!"
Peter and Chloe, who came from the crowd, looked anxious.
"Jerome?"
"Ah--help!"
"Run!"
Screams came from outside the gymnasium gate, and the students who had planned to rush out of the gymnasium ran back together.
Clark looked out the door and saw a familiar figure standing outside the gymnasium, and a twitching man was lying on the ground, shaking, and blue electric light flashed from time to time.
"Hey! MAN! What are you doing?"
A tall white young man couldn't help but shout loudly, looking at the man standing outside the gymnasium passage, he was confused.
He didn't see what happened just now!
"That guy can discharge electricity!"
"That's a monster!"
Some of the young people who ran away first screamed repeatedly, their faces full of horror, as if they had just seen an incredible picture.
"Hey, my name is Jerome, I came here, of course, I want to attend the dance!"
Ignoring the young men and girls who were shouting and exclaiming, Jerome looked at the angry football player on his face.
"We don't have a person like you in our high school, who are you? Why did you come to ruin our dance?"
A football player gently comforted his frightened girlfriend and shouted loudly.
His words were also responded by several of his friends around him.
"..."
Looking at the indignant crowd, Jerome remained silent and just stood at the door with a smile on his face.
The atmosphere was stagnant until some uninformed American high school youths could no longer hold back. They walked directly to Jerome and tried to knock down the guy in front of them who seemed to be intimidating and threatening them.
Among them, the main force was Whitney's football team members. Seeing his brother like this, Whitney also planned to rush up to help.
"Wait! Let me go with you!"
Just at this moment, Clark grabbed him.
"Clark, you know that guy!"
Chloe and Pete on the side changed their faces. Although they wanted to stop Jerome, it did not mean that they had the ability to fight against Jerome. In their cognition, Clark was just the big fool who was weak when he saw Lana.
"Believe me!"
Clark's face was serious.
Seeing their friends like this, Pete and Chloe didn't know what to say. They could only look anxious, but helpless.
Looking at a large group of American high school students who gathered and tried to win by numbers, the small group of people who saw Jerome's move before all showed expectations.
And Jerome's face was full of smiles.
Now he is no longer the guy who was bullied a few years ago. He can finally prove himself!
Following in the crowd, Clark's eyes revealed solemnity. He followed the first young man to Jerome and punched him without hesitation.
The shooter had not seen Jerome's discharge before, and only thought that this guy had knocked down the previous student with some special means.
However, the next scene made the man pay the price for his behavior.
When the man's body touched Jerome, a huge arc of electricity burst out from Jerome's body and spread at a very fast speed.
"Ahhhhh——"
In just a moment, the arc emitting blue light passed back and forth between seven people.
In just two seconds, all seven people fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, and the students who were observing the situation behind screamed one after another.
"This guy..."
Whitney, who was almost hit by the arc, opened his eyes wide with fear, and couldn't believe what he saw.
Humans can actually discharge electricity!
Whitney, who reacted, and the people around him who tried to resist Jerome turned around and ran away.
"Clark?"
At this moment, a person went upstream and walked towards Jerome firmly towards the fleeing crowd. Whitney looked closely and found that it was Clark!
