Smallville Town Police Department lobby.
"We're pressing charges! We're going to sue!"
Byron's mother, her eyes brimming with tears, glared at the young man across the table, who wore a look of complete nonchalance.
The man showed no remorse, seeming to have an attitude of "Byron deserved it."
"Sue?" Kino seemed amused, tapping the table and chuckling. "Your son trespassed on my property without permission and injured the guards."
"If you want to sue, go ahead. I can even be kind enough to help you find a lawyer."
Kino toyed with the pen on the table, his voice calm. "But I should remind you that the best legal team in America will be representing me, and the security cameras on the estate will prove that your son was trespassing."
"By the way," Kino said, setting down his pen. "The local judge is also a friend of the Luthor Family."
"I could even, if I wanted to, make you pay a sum you absolutely couldn't afford."
"So, if you don't want to go bankrupt, let's just leave it at that."
Kino stood up; he didn't intend to stay here. He had many things to deal with. Lana and Chloe, who had been scared witless, also needed to be calmed down. Perhaps he should use Heaven Magic to erase their memories of this whole episode.
Before leaving, the young man didn't forget to "critically hit" Byron's mother one more time: "And, perhaps you should thank me for eliminating a deadweight for you."
"Well, you don't need to thank me."
Snap!
The door closed, and the Sheriff, who had been hiding in the corner, slowly walked to the table where Byron's parents sat.
"I'm so sorry."
The Sheriff removed his hat apologetically, looking at the middle-aged woman who was weeping, clutching her husband.
The woman's eyes were filled with tears; she clearly couldn't accept the news of her son's death.
What made it even harder for her to accept was Kino's attitude.
"Sheriff! The one who killed Byron is Kino Luthor, he should be brought to justice!"
Byron's mother clenched her teeth tightly, looked up at the Sheriff, and said through gritted teeth, "He even used a flamethrower to burn my son to death. This is murder, it's a crime!"
Yes, to cover up some things, Kino had everyone agree that the cause of Byron's death was the flamethrower.
As for whether others believe it?
In the United States, the law states that it is not illegal to shoot and kill anyone who trespasses on private property without the owner's consent.
The Sheriff shrugged, "I'm sorry, but their actions were lawful. Your son did indeed trespass on their estate and even injured several guards."
"According to the law, they would not be in violation of it if they shot and killed your son."
He wasn't some brainwashed, bleeding-heart liberal. He was just a cop trying to make a living. How could he possibly offend the all-powerful Luthor Family for people he didn't even know?
But the last vestiges of his conscience still made him unable to help but remind them, "Furthermore, you don't have a case. My advice is to drop it."
"No, he must pay the price!"
As the Sheriff expected, Byron's mother, a plump middle-aged woman, glared with hatred, completely ignoring the Sheriff's advice.
"Although my son trespassed, is the person who killed my child completely blameless?"
"Well, good luck to you then."
Unable to persuade the stubborn woman, the Sheriff chose to give up, putting on his hat and leaving the waiting room.
After the man left, Byron's mother looked at her husband: "Hayte! We must avenge Byron!"
"Er, um, Helena, perhaps we should let go of the hatred."
Byron's father, a tall and thin middle-aged white man, touched his nose.
Unlike his wife, the old man didn't have much affection for Byron, mostly just dislike.
"And just like the Sheriff said."
He patted his wife on the shoulder: "This land belongs to the wealthy."
"Besides, Byron has always been a madman."
Her husband's lips curved into a hidden smile: "Perhaps, we should enjoy our lives in the days to come?"
"Shut up!"
The woman pushed her husband away angrily, watching him with a look of disappointment: "I didn't expect you to be hoping for Byron's death!"
"Fine, if you won't, then I'll go avenge Byron myself!"
The day after tomorrow morning. Luthor Chemical Plant.
"Vroom～"
A silver Bugatti roared down the road towards the factory.
The early morning air in Smallville Town was fresh, with glistening dewdrops clinging to the grass and tree branches along the roadside.
Kino was driving, the trees lining the road blurring past at an incredible speed.
"So, you've found something?" Kino asked into the phone, holding the steering wheel with one hand as he answered a call from Lex.
"Understood, I'm on my way."
He hung up the phone and slammed his foot on the accelerator, shifting gears. The already fast car accelerated further, a streak of light across the road, kicking up dust.
Just as the factory gate came into view and Kino was about to hit the brakes, a figure suddenly burst out of the dense forest on the side of the road.
Waiting for a long time, the Byron's mother, with a face full of menacing flesh, was wearing a floral dress and holding a large Shotgun.
The dress was soaked with dew, suggesting she had been hiding in the bushes for quite some time.
Her eyes flashed with a hateful gleam.
The woman raised the Shotgun, gritting her teeth, and shouted, "This shot is for Byron!"
So what if he was rich? Everyone was equal before a gun!
She pulled the trigger, and flames erupted from the barrel.
Boom!
The powerful recoil sent the woman tumbling clumsily into the grass.
The Stream Shot blasted towards the young man inside the Bugatti.
A hint of satisfaction, as if a great vengeance had been achieved, flashed in Byron's mother's eyes.
She avenged Byron!
Bang!
The Shotgun shattered the car window, countless pellets capable of taking a life slammed into the driver's seat.
She could even imagine the other person's blood splattering everywhere.
But.
Only a few seconds later, the smoke from the gun barrel dissipated, and the driver's seat of the sports car was empty.
"What?"
Byron's mother looked as if she had seen a ghost, but the next moment, a blonde-haired youth in a white shirt appeared as if out of thin air.
Kino stared at the woman expressionlessly, one hand gripping the gun barrel and gently squeezing.
The steel barrel of the shotgun emitted a "wailing" sound as it warped and deformed, its straight lines twisted into a mass of iron.
"Hmm, we met this morning. You're Byron's mother, right?" Kino retracted his arm, staring at the woman coldly.
Glancing at the shattered windshield of the Bugatti Lex had given him, his already cold expression turned even colder.
"I have two options for you." Kino held up two fingers. "First, die by fire."
"Second, die by ice."
"Which do you choose?"
"What?" Helena looked bewildered, completely lost as to what Kino was talking about.
But soon, a red beam flashed, followed by excruciating pain.
"Ah!" Helena let out a bloodcurdling scream, staring at her empty right arm.
Her entire arm had been cleanly severed by an unknown red light. The severed limb lay still on the grass, the extreme pain nearly causing her to faint.
"Looks like you didn't like the first one." Kino's red light vanished from his eyes, replaced by a brilliant blue glow.
"Buzz!"
An extreme cold current swept over Helena's body, freezing her terrified, ugly form into an ice sculpture.
Kino looked at the ice sculpture, shaking his head, "Next life, remember not to mess with the Luthors."
After saying that, the young man blew gently. The once-solid ice sculpture shattered into thousands of pieces of ice, carpeting the grass.
I'll immediately start the multiverse plot. I think I can write something really cool. Let's go, let's go! Tomorrow I'll work on the dungeon outline and the plans for the protagonist's future faction. Then, I also need to put the purchase of the comics on the agenda, blah, blah, blah.
