The Father of American Comics Superheroes
Chapter 54: Preparing to depart (1/2)

After repeatedly admonishing (threatening) Eric and Charles not to invite strange people to the birthday party, the two looked to Clark and stretched their hands, saying they couldn’t help.

Because their family does not live in town, taking into account the convenience of other children, Mike arranged the birthday party in a restaurant in town.

After school in the afternoon, Clark and Eric brought their friends from school to the restaurant, and after everyone ate and drank and played, this birthday was over.

“Ugh!”

On the way home, Charles sighed, glanced at the crowd, saw no one pay attention to him, and heaved a sigh, a look of empty loneliness.

Looking at the boyish face with such an expression, Mike could not help but laugh and said, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Ugh, I’m another year older, will there be more of these parties and stuff in the future?”

“What? You don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just suddenly don’t feel much fun anymore.”

Charles put his hands on his pillow, leaning on the back seat of the car, with a deliberate disdain on his face.

Eric bristled and said, “He must have used his ability to look into those people’s heads again.”

“Hmph!” Cocking his head in displeasure, Charles said, “I don’t see how I can know that there are even people who don’t like our birthday party, or even think we’re old-fashioned people who live outside of town.”

Mike raised his eyebrows, parked the car under the street light on the side of the road, turned his head to look at Charles in the back seat and said, “Charles, your ability is very special. When you focus on the bad ideas in people’s hearts, you will be Human nature feels disappointed, but you can’t ignore the good because of the bad, understand?”

Charles nodded slightly thoughtfully. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Also, even between friends, at some point, they will argue about something and get the urge to strangle each other, but you can’t ignore your friendship because of this momentary thought of the other person.”

“If you dwell on each other’s thoughts in that instant, then you friends have nothing to do.”

Charles chuckled and said, “For example, me and Eric?”

“?” Eric looked at Charles and said, “What?”

“I often read the idea of him cursing me, and the idea of him wanting to beat me to a dog’s head when he argues with me, but I understand that he’s just angry and will be fine after a while, so I usually don’t bother with him!”

Charles held his chest out and glanced at Eric lightly, with a generous look of not bothering with the other man.

Eric reached out and grabbed Charles’ neck, shaking it back and forth, and said angrily, “I want to choke you to death right now!”

Clark looked at the two, could not help but laugh, said: “Stop it!”

Eric hummed angrily.

Charles cocked the corner of his mouth in triumph and straightened his collar.

Mike reached out and nudged Charles vaguely, laughing and scolding, “Eric and you are more than friends.”

With a sigh, he said, “From today on, don’t use your powers casually, the human heart is too complicated.”

Charles skimmed and said, “I can see through it!”

Mike raised his eyebrows and said, “You open your mouth and show me?”

“Ah!”

Charles opened his mouth obediently, revealing his mouth without a front tooth.

“You haven’t even finished changing your teeth, and you still want to see through the heart?”

Mike got up and rubbed Charles’ hair and laughed, “You’ll graduate college for me first!”

“Hahahahaha!” Eric rolled in the back seat with laughter.

Charles smiled coldly, twitched Eric’s mouth, and said disdainfully: “Ha, you are missing two!”

Eric: (ー`′ー)
