"Do you really need to return back today? Can't you stay one more day? Maybe we could play baseball and stuff although I am not really that good at it. My balls always miss the mark." Clark laughed a little awkwardly as he remembered how every time he threw or hit a ball, it would always fly away to space. He hadn't mastered perfect control over his strength yet, so he had to avoid playing sports with people.

"That's what she said." Bruce could not help himself but mutter under his breath when he heard the last line Clark said.

"Huh? What?" Clark having clearly heard him due to his super hearing asked with a confused expression on his face, not at all getting the joke.

"Nothing. Anyway, as I was saying we need to leave today. I am really glad for the hospitality all of you guys showed us but it's time for us to leave, though we will definitely meet again. And you can always call us or send letters, whatever you prefer." Bruce smiled at him.

The entire Kent family had come to drop Bruce, Selina, and Vicki at the school and say farewell after they all had breakfast together. Truthfully the Kents might be too humble for Bruce's taste but he still liked them nonetheless. They felt like... well family.

"Yeah, we will miss you guys, especially you two girls. You were a big help in the kitchen. I wish I had daughters as cute as you two." Martha Kent praised as she ruffled the hair of both the girls.

"Okay, I think we should go before the situation becomes even more emotional. By the way, Mr. Kent, I hope you think about my offer. I believe it will not only be good for both of us but also for your family and even your dreams of becoming a senator one day." Bruce nodded at the senior Kent at which the senior farmer nodded back with a look on his face that said he was in deep thought and seriously considering Bruce's offer.

"You sure you have the power and permission to make that deal on your own kid? I mean as much as I know most youngsters your age no matter how rich they are don't really have the power to offer multi-million-dollar deals like that on their own without any permission from an adult." Jonathan expressed his doubt.

"I am not like most kids, Mr. Kent. I am Bruce Wayne. I am the opposite of what 'most' kids are." Bruce shrugged helplessly.

He had offered the deal of a lifetime to the Kent family. According to the deal, he would be leasing the Kent farm and the surrounding land from them for five to ten years Then he would be cultivating his own plants and raising animals of his own choice there using all sorts of cutting-edge technology to maximize output. The Kent family would not only be getting a hefty sum of money at the start of the lease but also a share of the revenue every year. They would even have the option of staying on the property and overseeing the entire operation as his ranch manager.

This would permanently solve the Kents' monetary problems and increase Bruce's own reach into a new industry, the ever-profitable industry of agriculture. He was sure that he could be one of the biggest agro producers in the country in a decade with his technology and Kent Farms would be the best place to start.

Plus Bruce had also hinted at financing and supporting Jonathan Kent's political campaign if he were to ever run for the Senator position. That was the promise that had attracted the attention of the Kent family the most.

Bruce was ready to do all this because he was really happy that his trip here had paid off. He had not only acquired everything he wanted but also even obtained some of the Kryptonian technology designs that Clark's baby pod spaceship had in it by sending some of his spider drones to the Kents' backyard shed where it was kept under a blanket. So, Bruce was truly happy.
