Chapter 241: Claire's Departure
After Randolph's matter was over, Evenson naturally received the news as soon as possible, after all, he provoked this matter in the final analysis. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info His own opinion is in line with that of the Twins.
Ice him up first and keep it fresh, and I'll talk about the rest later.
Many things have to wait until the right time to be carried out, and at a specific time can we obtain greater benefits, and this time is not far off.
But the next month was a bit too quiet.
During this time, Evenson spent the day in a daze in the store and went to Claire at night to brush up on his reputation. Sometimes Captain America, who comes out for a walk, will come to the store to chat for a while, in short, the small life is okay.
However, the only regret is that he did not succeed in fooling Captain America to go out and break a boulder in his chest, because people are now living a better life.
S.H.I.E.L.D. not only gave people a three-bedroom house in Brooklyn and paid them a monthly living allowance, but the most ridiculous thing is that this guy has now started to receive pension insurance.
This kind of differential treatment makes Evenson hate it so much, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, Captain America's identity is too special now.
The greatest hero of the United States since the founding of the country, 60 years ago, let the government "be killed" and hack all property, and now he is 80 years old and has returned alone, with no hope in life. If this kind of news spreads, it will be a big scandal, and the gates of the White House may be blocked by the demonstrators.
But now the U.S. military is not comfortable, for so many years, they have been using Captain America as a hero's template, sparing no effort to carry out all kinds of propaganda, at least one generation grew up listening to Captain America's heroic deeds, and when they were children, they all fantasized about becoming a hero like Captain America when they grew up.
But they did it because it had been confirmed that Captain America was dead, so it didn't matter if he was half-mythical, he was a dead man anyway.
But who would have thought that 60 years later, he would run out alive again? A living person enjoys the privilege that only the dead have, a living sage, and this kind of existence is the most headache for those in power.
This is like the emperors of all dynasties would add the title of Confucius, but suddenly one day Confucius came back to life? Will the emperor immediately worship him as his prime minister and leave all the government at his mercy, or will he simply abdicate himself and give him all the country? Therefore, their firmest idea is probably to stuff the resurrected Confucius back into the coffin.
And now the attitude of the US military towards Captain America is very subtle, that is, if you don't come to me, I won't go to you, and when you come to me...... We'll talk about that then.
Fortunately, Captain America was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't go to the military to ask for this or that, but the military's attitude of avoiding it may have made him feel cold, so he has little contact with the military now or in the future.
The boring days continued until the end of the month, and Evenson was playing games with Claire that night, but tonight was different from the usual laughter, and the atmosphere in the room was more dreary.
"Ahh Then looked at Claire on the side, she seemed to have something on her mind, she wasn't very involved in playing, and if she wanted to change the usual Evenson to hang up so early, she would definitely be sneered at.
"What do you have to say... Tell me," Evenson said to Claire hesitantly, thinking to himself, don't do what she guessed.
Hearing this, Claire's hand shook, and then the TV screen immediately showed a big game over, if she had gone before, she would have gone violently, but this time she just silently put down the handle.
"I wanted to say it to you the other day. Claire's eyes stared unfocused, and she said in a low voice, "But I don't know how to speak." Then she turned her head to look at Evenson, and reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "I... I have to go. ”
Evenson's mouth opened and closed silently a few times, but he didn't know what to say, and finally had to agree, "Ah." ”
"I've had a great time and if I could, I'd love to live like this for the rest of my life. Claire said, "But I don't belong here." ”
"I... Know. Evenson said with a wry smile.
Claire was shocked and asked suspiciously, "You know?" She wondered if her identity had been revealed.
"At first, I didn't notice anything, but over time, you're different. Evenson seemed to be recalling something.
"What's the difference?" asked Claire. At the same time, I was also thinking that when she left the temple, her mana was drained, and now she is no different from ordinary people at all, what is the difference?
"Your business is better than mine, but I can tell that you don't care about that even more than I do. It can be seen that you don't really need to use this store to make money. ”
"Besides, we've only met a few times, and when we weren't too familiar with each other, just because I have the same hobbies as you, you have to invite me to your house to play games in the evening. Evenson smiled and shook his head, "These manifestations are only those who have been pampered since childhood, grew up in a greenhouse, and have neither worries about life nor contact with the sinister of society." ”
"However, you are different from the rich second generation of those nouveau riche, you are not as high-flying as them, but very introverted. Evenson then made a joke: "Aside from the fact that I kicked me twice after losing the game, you seem to be very self-contained." ”
Claire was amused by the joke, "So what do you think I am?"
"You should be—" Evenson hesitated for a moment, "it should be those children of big families who come out to experience life, right? ”
It's no wonder that Evenson would make such a guess, because regardless of the strength of the Mage Hermitage Order, but in the end, it is an organization that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and even those who think highly of themselves and have eyes that are covered by heavenly spirits are better than those nouveau riche, not to mention that Claire, who has been focused on cultivating, has never had the idea of belittling mortals in the world.
As for Evenson, why he didn't guess Claire's true identity, except that he didn't think about it in that way, that is, he didn't feel a little mana fluctuation in Claire. And Evenson felt that even if he hid it very well, he would never be able to hide it from Habs, but Habs didn't react at all, so Evenson naturally wouldn't suspect it.
"Sort of? Claire breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her true identity had not been revealed. She said to Evenson again, "You didn't... Isn't there anything you want to say to me?"
"I..." At this time, Evenson's brain was hot, and he wanted to say that he liked you, but he thought that he had just pointed out that the other party was from a wealthy family, and at this time he said that he liked others, would he be suspected of coveting the other party's family background. So he changed his tune and said, "Can I still see you?"
In fact, this sentence was already very suggestive, but after hearing it, Claire showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She would have preferred that Evenson would have spoken out what she really thought, because that was her idea. In the end, she gave an ambiguous answer "Maybe, also... Probably not. ”
Claire left early the next morning, her store was bought, but instead of transferring it when she left, she gave the key to Evenson for safekeeping, saying that she would come back if she had the chance.
Evenson was a little depressed after this, but that's it, he wasn't going to die because he lost a love, and he was sure that he would see Claire again.
"Director...", Evenson dialed Nick Fury's phone in the evening, "I'm out of love." ”
Nick Fury "......" about my eggs, and I'm not in charge of psychological counseling.
"So I want to go out and relax. Although Ewenson's voice still sounded decadent, his eyes sparkled, "Before we went to New Mexico, we agreed that you would approve my visa to travel to a foreign country." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Great Britain. ”
