Chapter 36: Overestimation [Ask for Recommendation, Collection]
"I'm sorry, kid."
As a long-time Harlem resident, Bobby is absolutely well-informed.
Seeing his categorical reply, Henry also nodded, and said to Li Ran: "At least there is no place called Villad in Harlem, maybe you can go to other districts to find it, Manhattan is very big, and Harlem is just a small part of it." ”
After a little reassurance, Henry asked with some concern, "Perhaps, child, are you looking for Verard to find your friends or relatives?" ”
Shamik interjected, a little gloating, "It's obvious, Daddy, that he's been deceived, or this Verard doesn't exist at all." ”
Henry: "Shut up, Shamik, you don't talk to no one when you're dumb." ”
Turning his head and scolding Shamik, Henry comforted Li Ran in front of him: "Don't take Shamik's words to heart, he has always been like this." Although he said comforting words, in fact, Henry felt somewhat in his heart that Li Ran should have been deceived.
Seeing that Henry and the others looked misunderstood, Li Ran felt that he needed to explain.
After all, I didn't really come to visit my relatives.
He shook his head, looked up at the concerned face of Daddy Henry in front of him, and replied, "No, I went to Verard to find the ultimate killer hidden there, the Fire Cloud Evil God. ”

“……”
Stopping the movement of sweeping his hair, Luke Cage looked up and glanced at the father in front of him, and shook his head imperceptibly at the father's inquiring gaze.
The Fire Cloud Evil God or something, whether it was when he was in prison or on the run, he had never heard of it at all.
Even, Luke Cage's gaze swept over Li Ran's face on the other side, and there was no way to determine whether the so-called Fire Cloud Evil God that twisted his mouth when he pronounced it was true or not.
Perhaps, everything is just the imagination of the Asian in front of him.
In the barbershop, after everyone looked at each other for a while because of Li Ran's sudden words, Shamik reacted first: "Haha, boy, you actually believe this kind of obvious lie, Huoyun Evil God?" Fire Cloud Evil God, this is a good name, it sounds pretty cool, and it will be my nickname in the future......"
Well, it's me who overestimated the level of acceptance.
But think about it, although New York, including Hell's Kitchen, has sporadic superheroes like Daredevil in action, but compared to the situation where superheroes like the New York War appeared in front of the public on a large scale in the future, there is still a bit of a gap.
Simply, Li Ran also knows that the difficulty of things cannot be achieved overnight.
Therefore, the goal he set at the beginning was to leave a general memory in the minds of everyone in the barbershop, especially Luke Cage, and at the same time prepare for long-term foreshadowing.
Although he has achieved his goal, he still needs to continue to act.
In the face of Shamik's ridiculous behavior, he deliberately frowned and said, "The Fire Cloud Evil God is a very dangerous existence, and it is not a name that you can joke about at will. ”
"What, are you unhappy?" Compared with Luke Cage, Li Ran was obviously a bully in Shamik's eyes, so hearing his rebuttal, Shamik suddenly restrained the smile on his face, got up and looked at the guy in front of him who was half a head shorter than himself, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously hooked up a mocking smile: "Or, do you want to do something to me?" ”
In the face of Shamik's behavior of looking for a fight, Li Ran naturally had nothing to say.
He is not a father, and he doesn't need to accommodate each other in everything.
With a little luck under his feet, he plans to make his legs out and let the other party know how much he can do.
However, at this moment, a tall figure stepped into the gap between Li Ran and Shamik. Luke Cage looked at Shamik with an arrogant expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Shamik, Dad's barbershop is not a place for you to cause trouble, if you want to fight, if you really want to do it, I will accompany you in the alley at the back door of the barbershop at any time." ”
"Luke, it's none of your business!"
"As long as it's in the barbershop, it's my business."
Gritting his teeth and staring at Luke Cage in front of him fiercely for a long time, Shamik turned his head and looked at Li Ran who was blocked behind the tall figure: "Boy, you are lucky." ”
Actually, you should be lucky.
Li Ran silently stared at Luke Cage's tall back in front of him, a little speechless.
Obviously, everyone in the barbershop subconsciously regarded him as the weaker party in the conflict, but in fact, just the appearance of Shamik's small arms and legs in front of him couldn't stop Li Ran's strong diamond leg at all.
Losing face twice in a row, even if Shamik has a thick skin, he doesn't want to stay in the barbershop.
Looking at Shamik's back as he left in a gray manner, Henry couldn't help but shake his head: "I hope Shamik can understand that fighting is not the only way to solve the problem." ”
Bobby: "This is Harlem, Henry, and you know it's not going to be easy to survive without the protection of your fists." ”
Henry: "I know, Bobby, but I also know that Harlem is slowly getting better, and while it's not changing as fast as it could be, at least it's changing. ”
After chatting with Poppy casually, Henry returned his gaze to Li Ran.
After solving the conflict in the barbershop, Luke Cage has reverted back to his previous taciturn appearance.
If it weren't for the other party's abilities, maybe Henry would really regard it as an ordinary existence.
Shaking his head, Henry came in front of Li Ran, and said thoughtfully: "Child, although the way Shamik spoke was a little wrong before, some facts may not be wrong, and Villad may just be a place that does not exist. ”
"No, Verard exists."
Facing Li Ran's sworn and firm gaze, Henry had a headache, he thought about it for a while, and decided to use a softer method to let Li Ran discover it himself: "Okay, but kid, New York is very big, and it is not easy to find the Verard in your mouth in such a big New York, not to mention, the most important thing, you don't have any money." ”
