217, a restless night
"It's been a long time since I've seen Uncle Victor, Avril misses you so much!"
Reaching out to give Avril a touch of the head, Victor pretended to be unhappy and said, "I used to be an older brother, why am I an uncle now?" โ
Avril's mouth deflated when she heard this, and she snorted coquettishly: "My brother has never come to see Avril, so I can only be an uncle!" โ
This little guy is only angry when he thinks about it now.
It ravaged the little guy's head again, and the smooth hair was rubbed messy, causing the little guy to show his teeth and claws.
"Don't rub it! Avril is not a child anymore! It's going to get ugly! Avril grumbled dissatisfiedly, pushing away Victor's big hand with both hands.
Victor didn't fight with her, so he withdrew his hand, took out an atomic ring and handed it to Avril to teach her how to bind it.
With the new toy, the little one forgot about Victor on the spot.
Sending away the little guy, Victor retracted the curvature of the corners of his mouth and looked at the old Ford who had been silent with a strained face.
Victor hasn't been here since the last time he fell out with this stubborn old guy, and has kept Alice on the lookout.
The reason why I came this time is also to ...... Principal of Dawning Academy.
Dawning College is in a special situation.
Victor was naturally able to appoint someone who approved โ like his brother-in-law Marcos โ but that would always make some people suspicious.
Is it true that something will not happen to the New Humanity Academy, which is controlled by the New Human?
At this time.
If an ordinary human can be the principal of Dawning Academy, this suspicion can be eliminated to a certain extent, and parents of some families can send their children to the academy with peace of mind.
Steve was the best choice, but he refused, saying that he was just a warrior and that he was not fit to teach with blood on his hands.
Thereupon.
Victor thought of old Ford, a middle-aged man with a stinky and hard temper, who looked like he didn't like you to anyone, but who had been silently guarding the underground waterways of Las Vegas for more than ten years.
In a way, he is a copy of Steve, with his own persistence, his own justice, and was once the head of a "mutant underground shelter".
Let him be the principal of Dawning Academy, I think it is the most suitable, and it can make many people feel at ease.
Moreover...... Victor is here today for another reason.
After he and Old Ford looked at each other for half a minute, his brows furrowed slightly, and he reached out and took out a syringe gun from the yard, and stabbed Old Ford in the arm without saying a word.
Old Ford still wanted to refuse, but was unceremoniously tied up by Victor's telekinesis, and after completing the injection, he casually threw the injection gun aside.
He was injected with a cancer buster.
According to Alice's report, the elder Ford was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer half a month ago, and it is normal to suffer from this cancer in the environment of underground waterways all year round.
But old Ford is also stubborn enough, that is, he refuses to go to the Dawning direct store to inject cancer nemesis.
Victor doesn't believe he doesn't know this!
This stubborn old man didn't know why he was haunted in his heart, and would rather die than accept Victor's help.
"Why bother." Victor looked at old Ford and asked, "Even if you don't like me, you don't have to get along with your body, right?" If I don't come, are you going to fight to the death? Does Avril know you do that? โ
Old Ford's lips moved, and he turned his head away from speaking.
This gesture Victor was inexplicably angry, and blurted out the words of scolding.
"No matter how you look at it, your stubborn temper doesn't suit my appetite!"
"I used to say you need to protect the people in the shelter, but then?"
"I eradicated God and liberated the underground shelter, you still have such a stinky face, I shouldn't have come today!"
After a pause, Victor turned around and prepared to leave.
As for the principal of Dawning Academy or something, it's a big deal that he came by himself, and with his current prestige, it was enough to gain the trust of civilian families.
It's just a little troublesome.
Until Victor walked out of the convenience store, Old Ford still didn't say a word, he just looked at Victor's departing back, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
However, Avril, who was tossing the atomic ring outside, saw Victor come out, revealing a cute little appearance that she had foreseen, which immediately diluted the anger in Victor's heart.
"Uncle Ford won't apologize to you, will he?" Avril held her head high, and said in the tone of an old man: "He's just so stubborn, obviously he usually pays attention to your news, and keeps saying that he was wrong about what happened before, but he just refuses to bow his head, he just has a good face." โ
The little guy's words surprised Victor a little.
Did old Ford realize his mistake?
Without waiting for Victor to confirm it, Avril continued to speak to herself.
"Actually, the last time you quarreled with Uncle Ford, Avril heard it, and it was Avril who insisted on choosing to settle in Hell's Kitchen, this convenience store used to be the wedding room of Uncle Ford and his wife."
"Uncle Ford's wife never remarried, she always believed that Uncle Ford would come back, Uncle Ford came back, but she only had time to see Aunt Ford for the last time, and Aunt Ford died of liver cancer."
Avril had already found out, and Uncle Ford had thought about it at that time...... But Avril was there, so he kept going. โ
"Avril also found out that Uncle Ford was actually rich, and it was Aunt Ford who left it to him, but he didn't spend a penny and bought Avril a fund, which took effect at the age of eighteen."
In another month, Avril will be eighteen years old and able to survive on her own...... Uncle Ford, he doesn't want Avril anymore! โ
Speaking of this, the little guy was in tears.
Victor hugged the little guy in distress, his brows tangled.
I didn't expect that the little guy is usually innocent, but in fact, he understands everything, but he just refuses to show it - the same stubbornness as old Ford.
Then again.
No wonder old Ford had a bad temper and a hard temper during that time, it turned out that it was because he died......
Then Old Ford should not be against himself, but has long been determined to live and die, and is ready to wait for Avril to turn eighteen years old, and then choose to leave the world to accompany his wife.
Now that they are all ready to die, there is no need to waste money on treatment.
After all, even if it is a fund bought, it must be counted in the assets, and he would rather bear the pain of lung cancer than leave more money for Avril.
In this respect, although old Ford is stubborn, he really loves Avril.
This matter, trouble!
Just thinking about how to deal with this trouble, there were footsteps behind him, and Victor knew that it was Old Ford who came out.
He just stood behind Victor and didn't speak, and Victor was also holding the sobbing Avril and didn't turn around.
The two of them are like still pictures, standing on the noisy streets of Hell's Kitchen, looking very out of place.
This quickly caught the attention of some.
I saw three black men with tattoos on their bodies leaning over and muttering from a distance: "Old Ford, is there any trouble?" You need the brothers to solve it for you, no, it's not much, it's ...... for 100 dollars for hard work."
Between words.
The three black thugs approached and saw Victor's face, and the drunken minds instantly sobered up and looked at each other.
confirmed the eyes, it's a big guy who can't be provoked.
The three of them hurriedly nodded and apologized, and turned around and ran away without looking back.
Just kidding, the big boss of Dawn, the big parade in the past few months was so exciting, who in New York doesn't know him Victor?
Old Ford, you'd better be blessed.
Avril Lavigne laughed at the funny appearance of the trio, and the little one burst into tears and laughed when he found Old Ford standing behind him.
The little guy's little eyes turned around and began to deliberately break the news loudly.
"Brother Victor, in fact, Uncle Ford has always wanted to apologize to you, when he went to bed at night, he said that he was wrong in his dreams."
"The first time we met, it was because there were other brothers and sisters behind him, so his attitude was so bad."
"Later, about the God organization, because Uncle Ford suspected you of using your ability to control the police uncle to do bad things, plus Aunt Ford's affairs, so your attitude was not good."
"Later, when you eliminated God, he wanted to apologize to you, but you didn't come again, and he couldn't pull his face to contact you."
"And ......"
"Enough!" Old Ford couldn't help but shout angrily: "Avril, I'm your caregiver!" You're not an adult yet, and your heart has run to other men?! โ
But old Ford only shouted angrily, and did not deny Avril's words.
In the face of old Ford's angry shouting, Avril was not afraid at all, peeking out her little head from Victor's arms, sticking out her tongue, and retracting in the latter's angry gaze.
People have backers today, so they are not afraid of you!
Victor put his arm around Avril and still didn't turn around.
He hesitated for a few seconds and then blocked Avril's ear hole with his telekinesis.
Then he spoke: "You should also know about the affairs of Shuguang Academy, but you don't know how to check it on the Internet." โ
"There is a lack of a principal on my side, do you think you want to stay and wait for death or come over and continue to shine, you choose."
"Avril Lavigne, I'll take it away, if you really want to die, I'll have someone collect your body, but the little guy shouldn't face this kind of life and death parting, I won't let her send you to the end."
After speaking.
Victor took Avril in his arms and quickly disappeared from old Ford's sight.
After Old Ford watched Victor and the two leave, he still maintained a posture of looking up, his pupils were dilated without focus, and he did not move for a long time.
I don't know how long it was, but a piercing whistle woke him up.
He reached out and took out a worn-out pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover of the pocket watch, and the pocket watch was no longer written, and under the cover was a yellowed black and white photograph with a smiling ordinary face on it.
"Ruth, if you're still around, will you continue to support me?"
"It should ...... No way! โ
"You've been waiting for me for so many years...... Now it seems that I am really not a good husband! โ
ยทยทยท
The little guy didn't have any resistance to being taken away suddenly, but his spirit seemed very melancholy.
Although of course her ear holes were blocked, and she couldn't hear what Victor said to old Ford, the little guy was smart enough to guess something.
He didn't cry and make a fuss, he was very sensible and silently adjusted his mentality.
In this matter, Victor is not at fault, it is the old Ford who is at fault.
Old Ford is so stubborn that if he decides to follow in his wife's footsteps, no one can persuade him, the difference is only what he has and how he has it.
The little guy's sensibility made Wanda, who knew the ins and outs, very distressed, and decisively let Victor go to the second bedroom to sleep alone, carried the little guy into the master bedroom, and locked the bedroom door.
Victor smiled a little helplessly, he is not a lover, he will not attack you in the middle of the night, as for such precautions!
Just as she was about to go to bed in the second bedroom, Alice alerted Steve to the call.
After connecting, the first thing that came was a commotion.
"Captain, do you support this bill as well?"
"Captain, we are against this bill! The ability is our privacy, we just want to hide in the crowd and not want to be noticed! โ
"Captain, do you think that's appropriate? But we made a so-called bill on our own? โ
"Captain, do you have a girlfriend? I'm going to give you a monkey! โ
"Captain, I'm Peggy, let me in!"
ยทยทยท
The messy commotion made Victor a little confused for a while, what happened to Steve's side?
There is no need to ask, the other side is given an explanation.
"Damn! Victor, why did you give my address to the newspaper? Steve asked in a loud voice, "Well, all those who think the New Human Registration Act is unreasonable have come to my house!" โ
Victor: "Huh? I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! How can it be! Where did you know the address of my explosion? โ
"Sun Daily!" There was a cracking of glass on Steve's side, followed by the captain's shouting, followed by the muffled sound of fists crashing into the flesh.
Someone broke through the window.
While waiting, Alice also briefly reported what Victor wanted to know.
Originally.
Later this evening, the Daily Sun published a report that severely condemned Victor's actions at the noon press conference, and incidentally revealed Steve's home address.
Then it attracted harassment from a group of "people with a heart".
No way.
Compared with Victor, who blacklists at every turn, it is much safer to block Steve's door than to block the Dawning Building.
And ah.
Listening to the commotion just now, I'm afraid that a large number of the girls who came came for the temptation of "giving birth to a monkey for the captain".
Victor listened with annoyance.
This newspaper is determined to oppose him, right?
"Alice, put this Sun Daily on the blacklist, send a message to Norman, and unite all the units that have cooperation with the Sun Daily to cut off cooperation, I will cut off his water and electricity network!"
"In addition, there is an anonymous reward on the black market, and anyone who beats an employee of the Sun Daily will be given a bounty of $10,000 until they leave!"
This time, Victor was also ruthless.
The Sun Daily, the clown, frequently comes to do things, Victor doesn't care if he is instructed by someone behind the scenes, or just to rub the hot spot, anyway, this time he is throwing money to smash this newspaper down.
Giving Norman the order, Victor remembers Steve's situation.
No way, the address has been exposed, so let's change places.
While Nazi's headphones are hanging and waiting for Steve to reply, Victor asks Alice to contact Tony, and the bell rings for more than ten seconds before hanging up.
On the other side, it seems that something is busy.
I just don't know if I'm busy with Pepper or I'm busy with the computer.
"Alice, cut off the connection of League of Legends in the Manhattan area, it shows as a regional network anomaly." Victor commanded.
"It's done." Alice responded.
Sure enough.
It was only three seconds before Tony called back, and there was a roar as soon as it was connected.
โFuck๏ผ๏ผ My Bronze One Qualifier!! It must have been you who disconnected the network, and you actually restarted the entire Manhattan link? Aren't you afraid of being known by the players?! Tony's roar was hoarse.
Seeing that he was about to get out of the bronze pit, he was actually by Victor like this!
Victor was unmoved and asked, "The villa next to my house is temporarily borrowed." โ
Smack - Drop - Drop -
Decisively hung up the communication, Victor instructed John to bring a pair of security guards over to help Steve pack his luggage and change accommodation, and then contact George to send police officers over to maintain order.
After solving these problems, Victor could not wait to breathe a sigh of relief, and Alice prompted Norman to call again.
Victor bared his teeth.
In the middle of the night, Norman wouldn't have contacted him unless there was an emergency.
I won't sleep tonight, right?
