Chapter 57: Depression

  "Dear Ladies and gentlemen And our lovely little friends! Next, please enjoy our special performance!".

  "That's right, the person in front of you are the mutant monsters that make people terrified when talking about!"

  "But beware, with us, they're just for our fun... amazing species!"

  Following the host's words, a performer with a long whip in his hand flicked the whip lightly and hit a mutant on the back.

  The mutant had a hard shell in his back and short limbs that looked like a standing giant tortoise.

  When the whip fell on him, he immediately fell on the ground obediently, crawling on the ground like a turtle.

  Seeing this scene, warm applause broke out, but there were also many people who looked at this scene and showed disgust.

  Mike frowned, looked at Charles and Eric, and said, "Don't look, let's go!"

  "Dad!" Charles turned pale and said, "Is he the same as us?"

  At this moment, Mike wanted to say 'no' to the kid, but he finally nodded.

  Because he knew that Charles and Eric already had the answer, the word 'no' at this time was particularly not fit.

  So he walked up to Charles and hugged Charles.

  Charles was a little scared, but still a pair of eyes behind Mike's back and looked at the performance.

  "These people are disgusting! These bastards!"

  Eric scolded lowly, feeling only incomparable anger.

  At this moment, because of their mutant status, they can't help but feel a sense of empathy.

  Mike didn't blame Eric for his foul language, but pressed Eric into his arms and said, "Control yourself, don't let your abilities run wild."

  Eric nodded, buried his head in Mike's arms, and stopped looking at the show.

  Clark on the side also turned his head away in disgust.

  The show continued

  In addition to the mutant at the beginning, there is another mutant.

  The mutant's body has also mutated, with insect antennae and her ability to blow out crystal-like bubbles, which are very beautiful under the light.

  At this time, the two mutants were like the animals that had appeared before, performing a show for everyone in the sound of whips and whistles.

  Eric clenched his fists and suddenly said, "Dad, I want to save them away!"

  Mike pondered and said to Charles, "You can contact them and see what they say."

  Charles wiped his tears and looked closely at the mutants crawling on the ground.

  then the the mutant froze, and his eyes began to search in the crowd, but with the sound of the whip, he continued to crawl again.

  After a few seconds, Charles looked shocked, and then looked at the other mutant.

  "How about it?"

  Seeing that Charles' face was not good-looking, Mike asked a question, but he had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

  "They all refused."

  "What?" Eric's eyes widened, and he whispered in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

  "They said that if they left here, they would have a worse life. They wouldn't even have enough to eat. but here, they could at least get some money." Charles said in pain and sobbed softly.

  it is as expected.

  Mike sighed in his heart.

  He picked up the two children and said to Clark, "Let's go."

  If he stayed here any longer, he was really afraid that Charles and Eric could not control their abilities and run wild.

  Clark nodded and walked out of the circus with Mike one after the other.

  The performance on the stage is over, and the hilarious clowns come to the stage and end the performance with exaggerated and hilarious moves to bring joy to the people.

  But the Kent family was not at all happy.

  After leaving the circus, the feeling of suffocation on Charles and Eric slowly dissipated.

  Mike took the three to a restaurant and ordered something to eat.

  The three little guys didn't look good, they just drank the juice in small sips and had no appetite.

  Clark looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and said to Mike, "Dad, why did they refuse?"

  Hearing this question, Charles and Eric all looked up at Mike.

  Mike took a sip of coffee, let out a long breath, and said slowly, "We save them, then what?"

  Eric said agitatedly: "Then they are free."

  "Freedom? will freedom keep them from going hungry and allow them to live? Just the way they look, do you think they will be able to find work to support themselves?"

  Eric was silent, but Charles said carefully: "We can help them, we can help them live!"

  "We saved these two, does that save all the mutants? Can we get jobs for all the mutants?"

  Charles fell silent too.

  At this moment, Eric looked at Mike firmly and said, "Then we will save everyone!"

  Charles looked at Eric in shock, sensed the surging emotion in Eric's heart that could burst out at any time. He also clenched his fist and said, "Yes, we will save everyone!"

  Mike looked at the two children who had made a big wish, and smiled: "But not now."

  "You have to grow, grow enough to fulfill this desire."

  "But no matter what, as long as you do is right, Dad will support you!"

  The two nodded heavily.

  Mike rubbed the heads of the two of them and said, "Eat, growth starts with filling your stomach."

  "Ok!"

  The two responded and ate.

  Clark's eyes swept from his father to his two younger brothers, his heart warmed, as he was proud to have such a family.

  After half an hour, the four filled their stomachs and left the restaurant.

  The night was just right, and the city was still brightly lit.

  As Christmas was approaching, they walked on the street, relaxed their mood, and drove home after seeing that it was getting late.

  Driving along the winding road leading to the villa area, Mike looked back at Eric and Charles, saw that they had wide eyes, no sleepiness, and shook his head with a smile as he knew they were thinking about something.

  It seems that what happened tonight has had a big impact on the two of them.

  However, if they want to change something, they'll definitely go for it.

  At this moment, Clark, who had been looking at the front, changed his face and said, "Dad, get ready to stop!"

  "Why?"

  "someone needs help!"

  "huh?"
