The boss and the black man looked at each other, and the drunken youths at the round table were awake at this moment, and they found themselves on the ground, and the unfinished wine on the table spilled their faces.

"What?"

"There was an earthquake." The boss explained.

Several people complained a few words, and helped each other out of the bar.

Only Ivan knows that this is not an earthquake.

At that time, when the black man grabbed him by the shoulder, a sense of resistance rose in his heart, and he was imagining fighting with superpowers and a certain villain...

So it caused such a scene, which can be said to be unintentional.

If Ivan hadn't suppressed the release at the moment of the psionic explosion, he even thought that this neighborhood would be in ruins, and even the schools a certain distance away would be affected.

After learning about psionic energy for so long, he vaguely estimated how powerful the psionic energy that had just almost burst out from his body was, and it was only unintentionally released.

"It's dangerous..."

Ivan muttered, he didn't dare to breathe at the moment, for fear that he would accidentally destroy something.

It's a fragile world for him.

"Don't be afraid, kid, the earthquake is over."

The boss saw Ivan muttering to himself, looking frightened, and hurriedly comforted.

"How long has it been since there been an earthquake in New York?" Lucas, a black man, also came to his senses, and he asked his boss.

"It's been a long time, I'm going to get tools to clean up the house."

After the boss turned into the back room, the black Lucas turned his head and looked at Ivan: "Boy, how are you?" ”

Ivan nodded: "I'm fine, why did you grab me just now." ”

"Want to see how you're doing." Lucas said.

"Hmm..."

"I see you're quite thin, but I actually have a gym nearby, so you can come and exercise if you have nothing to do."

Lucas pulled out a card: "This has the address written on it." ”

"Thank you." Ivan took the card and put it in the pocket of his jeans.

Do gangsters also have a proper karma? What's that called...

Looking at Ivan's slightly puzzled expression, Lucas smiled rarely: "I've been on the streets since I was fifteen years old, and I've been working hard for six years now, collecting protection money or something, I've done all those things." ”

"Hmm..."

"Now that I have some savings, I know I can't be a gangster forever, I want to wash my hands and live some peaceful life."

"Oh."

"If you can, help me get the boys out of the school for sixteen dollars a month, and use whatever the equipment is." Lucas Road.

It's not expensive at all!

"I'll pay you three dollars for every time you introduce someone to my gym for a monthly card, how about it?"

"Fooling people into your gym again?" The boss came out of the back room with a smile with the cleaning tools, "You don't have comprehensive facilities there. ”

"So what? I'm the only one in the neighborhood, so I'm looking at the location on purpose. ”

"That's why you dare to open a gym in that area."

On this night, Ivan gets acquainted with Lucas, a black man who runs a gym.

Since then, Ivan has been working out at Lucas's gym almost every afternoon after school.

It's not because I want to become a muscular man, but because I want to make myself less susceptible to infection by strengthening my body.

Whether in the previous life or in this life, Ivan was very thin, and Ivan always thought that only when he was weak was he easily entangled by illness.

In New York, children of the same age are born strong. Ivan's limbs are slimmer by comparison, and he wants to improve the current situation through exercise.

Jessica soon found out that Ivan went out by himself every day after school, and when she asked her, she learned that Ivan was going to the gym, so she occasionally went to the gym with Ivan when she was not in extra class.

Although I heard that the security around here is not very good, but for a month, Ivan has not encountered a bad person, but he hopes to meet some so that he can practice the actual combat control of psionic energy.

Unfortunately, villains aren't so easy to come across.

On this day, Jessica said that she was going to a classmate's birthday party after school, and Ivan was not invited and did not plan to go, so she walked alone on the way to the gym after having dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Lucas's gym is still very remote, and it's hard for anyone to know that there is a gym without a lot of publicity.

Just as he was about to arrive, a red-haired young man blocked Ivan's path on the road.

"Are you coming?" Ivan had a hunch that someone was finally going to trouble him.

"Hand over all your cash and you're good to go." The red-haired youth reported his purpose.

"Sorry, no." Ivan sensed his own psionic energy, he had been practicing mastering psionic energy for the past month, and he had already controlled it very well.

But he still didn't dare to be careless, because the previous practice objects were objects, but now they are to use them on people.

He estimated that if he wanted to teach the red-haired youth in front of him only a lesson, he would have to suppress the psionic energy to a smaller amount than a bent pen.

Now is the time to put your practice to the test!

"Where's your money? There should be, right? The redhead brushed the broken hair on his forehead, took out the dagger at his waist, and said with bad intentions.

"Snatched up." Ivan said, "I've been hungry all day. ”

Good! That's it! When the other side strikes at me, I control my power and fight back!

"Is that so? It seems—" The redhead stared coldly at Ivan, fiddling with the dagger in his hand.

Ivan is ready for anything!

"I can only let you go." The redhead uttered such a sentence.

"Ahh Ivan was slightly surprised.

"What's wrong?" Redhead raises eyebrows.

"Just let me go?" Ivan asked dumbfoundedly.

He now has a kind of 'I've taken off my pants, you show me this'.

"So what? You have no money and have been hungry all day. The redhead said lightly, pinning the dagger back to his waist.

"Won't you hit me? You should be angry if you can't grab the money. Ivan held the psychology of fishing law enforcement, hoping that the other party would not just give up.

"Why should I waste my strength on hitting you? Having said that, you can go. Redhead said as he sat down against a large tree, pulling out his phone and playing with it.

(ŎдŎ； Are the bad guys so easy to get rid of, they don't use superpowers at all, they all say that the Marvel world is dangerous...

Thinking like this, Ivan had no choice but to give up, knowing that he was rich.

However, just as he was about to walk past the redhead, the redhead suddenly raised his head and stared at Ivan coldly.

"Stop me." He shouted coldly.

Really... It won't be that simple.

Ivan turned his body to the red-haired youth, only to see the young man stand up and walk towards him.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Eventually, he walked in front of Ivan.

"Take it."

He handed over a five-dollar bill.

"What?"

"Haven't you been hungry all day? Take it, you'll get a stomachache if you're hungry all the time. The red-haired youth said.
