Grabbing the sides of the shield with both hands, Angel flipped the shield to the back with a little force, then extended her arm horizontally into the groove and fastened the alloy buckle to secure the shield to her right arm.

He had already anticipated the weight of this shield, and at that moment he went all out, and violently lifted the tower shield up, and his biceps muscles condensed into a lump under his fierce force.

"It's really heavy..."

Angel staggered, unable to properly use the shield with only one arm, so he barely managed to hold on with his left hand.

Ivan nodded secretly, Angel is worthy of his natural divine power, the thickness and quality of this shield are first-class, and he can barely use it It is already very good.

"How?"

"That's good..."Angel unbuckled the alloy buckle and relaxed.

The shield fell to the ground with a clatter, and he took two steps back and exhaled.

"If only I could light it up."

"Well, that's enough for Jessica."

When the two of them returned to the house, Cullen was sitting on the couch bent over, holding a pen as if he were taking a ledger.

But his eyes were staring straight ahead at the LCD TV not far ahead.

The house has two floors, with Karen and Angel living below and Ivan living on the top.

"What are you looking at?" Angel asked Karen grinningly.

The 21-year-old looks like he is 30 years old without shaving, from the short red hair at the beginning to the yellow shawl hair now.

Yellow hair is his original hair color.

"I'm watching the news, there have been so many dangerous things lately, I really advise you not to wander the streets when you are idle!" Karen Dao.

"Oh..."

"Next time," Callum said, "try to contact someone who can pick it up yourself." ”

"What did you look at that scared you like this?" Angel sat on Karen's left side, his arms naturally wrapped around Karen's neck, looking like a good brother.

Cullen felt his neck tired, like he was being weighed down by a mountain.

Ivan looked at the TV screen, and he saw the news broadcast about yesterday's terrorist attack in New York.

"You know what." Cullen lifted Angel's thick arm on his shoulder and straightened his waist, "In the past two days, there have been terrorist attacks on several streets in the center of New York City, and the report says that they are not only armed with guns, but also some can jump very high, and can kick open the locked iron door, then they are obviously not ordinary people like you!" ”

Ivan nodded: "I'll be careful." ”

"Why has this been happening lately, since the monster destroyed Fifth Avenue a few days ago... In the past, the security here was not so bad. Angel muttered.

Ivan thought for a moment and said, "Then you have to be careful, prepare body armor, and put on it when you go out on the street." ”

"By the way, it's my birthday today, and we're going to get some delicious food in the evening, and..."

As he spoke, Ivan's phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hello, is this Mr. Jones?" A female voice asked unhurriedly.

"Yes."

"I like a painting you have on display at the museum, would you like to talk about it?" Girl.

"Which one?" Ivan asked.

"It's the Dormammu of Destruction"

"I painted it for a long time, and I put a lot of effort into coloring it, and I expected it to sell it for $10,000." Ivan said solemnly.

"Sir, I haven't decided whether I want to buy it or not, I just want to talk to you." The person on the phone said.

"Uh... Sorry, I don't have that much time, if you don't want to..."Ivan said lightly.

"I mean to."

"See you at the museum."

"No problem."

...

After hanging up the phone, Ivan said a few words to the two of them, and then put on his formal clothes and went out.

"Ivan! Don't forget to give the orchard a little bit when you go! Cullen shouted.

"I'm not going to forget that." Ivan waved his hand without looking back.

"Can you bring me a birthday cake when you come back?" Tuba! Angel shouted.

"No problem."

...

After Ivan left, Cullen continued to keep his accounts, and Angel got up and decided to take a shower and then pick the fruit trees in the orchard that must have been full of fruit.

After taking a shower and going to the orchard, Angel glanced at the blue shield placed on the ground, and then looked at the fruit trees.

"Here we go."

The orchard is located in a sparsely populated area on the edge of Manhattan, and Ivan has revealed that it was not suitable for cultivation before.

Angel fills a cart with fruit and pushes the cart out of the garden to load the fruit onto the cart.

Batch after batch, and so on...

...

Odin Art Gallery.

Ivan sat in a chair, and across from him sat a strangely dressed woman.

The woman, dressed in a brown cloth coat and wearing a brown-gray hood, was looking at Ivan calmly.

"This painting is called Dormammu of Destruction." The woman spoke.

"Yes." Ivan replied.

The woman nodded, her gaze kept on Ivan's face.

"Excuse me, why such a name?"

"Whatever you want." Ivan smiled.

The woman lowered her eyes and looked at the painting on the table again, the painting had been removed from the frame, and the entire front of the painting could be read in its entirety.

The painting depicts a soul-like monster covered in black flames, with two glittering purple eyes embedded in the soul's body.

The background is the universe, and this huge soul-like monster stands in the middle of the universe, stretching out its weird big hand, and the palm of the hand is clenched...

It's the earth.

Such an oil painting, embellished by Ivan, comes to life.

It's beautiful, and it's domineering.

"How did the gentleman know about Dormammu?" The woman asked in a soft tone.

Ivan listened, smiled and asked, "What, is it real?" ”

The woman was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said solemnly: "Yes, it exists." ”

"Ha~ha~ha~" Ivan laughed, "So you're really not here to buy my paintings, I'm just selling them for a little money with an essay, as for how I know." ”

Ivan suddenly smiled, paused, and looked at the painting on the table lightly: "Who doesn't have a little secret." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and at this moment she suddenly felt that the young man sitting opposite her was like a giant sitting in the stormy waves, as if he had immeasurable power.

Ivan's words also instantly slapped in her mind like a wave.

Is it a secret?

Yes, the woman remembers that she also has a secret herself, and it is an unspeakable secret.

"Okay, if you don't buy it, I'll go say hello to the curator and ask him to frame the painting again."

Ivan left.

The woman gently took off her hood, revealing her bald head, and she watched Ivan's back fade away, and her heart gradually calmed down.

...

After going to the dessert shop to buy a cream cake and some desserts, Ivan returned to the orchard and called Jessica.

"Jessica, come to me at night~ I have a surprise for you!"

"Huh? What? ”

"Haha, I'll know when I come, by the way, and Angel has a birthday today, so let's eat a cake with him."

"Okay! I'll be there later, Fan! ”

"Well, it's not too late."

Ivan figured that Jessica would love the shield, the Shield of Hope.

Especially at night, it emits a fluorescent blue light when it waves, which is faint but beautiful!

"So is this shield really cool for Jessica?" Ivan thought, "It should be cool!" ”
