"You knew what she was up to all along!"
Clark was furious; he didn't want Emma to become a mercenary, to tread a path similar to his own.
"I knew, and I approve."
Frank offered no defense, his nonchalance strangely calming Clark's anger somewhat.
"What do you think is best for her?"
"Becoming a mercenary will bring too many dangers!"
Clark remained unconvinced.
"I've secretly checked her physical condition; it's good, and she can integrate the simulation seed, which means she's suitable. Do you think you can protect her for a lifetime? How can a grown man be so hesitant at a time like this, without any backbone?"
Frank's scolding made Clark realize fully that he couldn't always be by Emma's side; she had to face many things on her own!
Perhaps this was indeed a better choice!
"I'm actually glad to have this opportunity." Emma spoke softly.
