Chapter 56: The Defender
Drive into the middle of nowhere.
Luke Cage parked the car, glanced back at Matt and Xing in the car, and then opened the car door, leaving room for the two to talk.
Matt tilted his head slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh when he heard the noise coming from the front seat and the sound of small footsteps outside the car. In fact, it's not just Ah Xing, he also hopes to convince Luke Cage to join his team against the Hand Club.
It's just that Luke Cage's attitude has always been clear and obvious, and he doesn't want to get too involved.
"Ah Xing, Mrs. Gao has appeared again." Shaking his head helplessly, Matt first returned his attention to Ah Xing, who was sitting beside him.
"Mrs. Gao?"
Although he knew very well who Mrs. Gao was in his heart, and even figured out the identity of the other party more clearly than Matt, who was a super brave man, on the surface, Li Ran still put on a blank expression through the doppelganger and asked rhetorically.
Although he couldn't see the expression on Ah Xing's face, Matt still sensed the emotion he wanted to express from the tone of his words, and immediately reminded, "It's the person we fought in the factory before." ”
"Oh, you mean that weird old lady." Nodding with a sudden expression, Ah Xing said mercilessly: "To be precise, in fact, we haven't fought, I haven't played out my legs, and you were simply slapped by her." ”
“……”
Ah Xing's words made Matt silent for a while.
Recalling the scene in the factory, even now, he can still feel the wound left by Mrs. Gao on his chest at that time, and it hurts faintly.
"Well, maybe I'm not accurate enough." With a bitter smile helplessly, Matt restrained his bitter memories and showed a serious expression: "Ah Xing, I need your help, just like last time." ”
"Is it because of Mrs. Gao?" Contacting what Matt said before, Li Ran in the antique shop had already guessed the key to the other party's request, which was nothing more than to help him deal with Mrs. Gao by himself.
"That's right." Sure enough, when he heard this, Matt nodded, and continued: "Lady Gao not only reappeared, but also brought a very dangerous organization, the Hand Club, and with the terrifying power of the Hand Club, she tried to integrate the illegal drug trade in the entire Hell's Kitchen. ”
"Hand Meeting?"
"It's a terrible organization, and it's been hidden in the dark, and I've only recently come across the news of this organization, and I've had a few brief battles with them." Matt's expression changed slightly at the mention of the Hand Meeting, and it was clear that the previous battles were not as simple as he had said.
"The power of the Hand is too strong, and I don't have the confidence to stop them on my own." The successive battles over this period of time not only left a dense wound on Matt's body, but also constantly tested the superhero's willpower, making him feel more and more small and vulnerable to fighting evil alone.
As Claire says, he needs an alliance to help him fight the threat from the Hand Together.
"Ah Xing, your strength is vital to me."
After saying everything, Matt breathed a long sigh of relief and waited for Ah Xing's final decision, he was even ready to be rejected in his heart.
"Okay."
However, without much hesitation, Ah Xing on the side immediately gave Matt an affirmative answer.
"Why?" The hand holding the guide cane subconsciously tightened, and Matt looked at Ah Xing, his tone was a little excited but a little confused.
"Doing chivalrous righteousness, saving the dead and helping the wounded is within the responsibility of my generation of martial arts practitioners, this is the principle that Master Ye taught when I practiced martial arts in Penglai."
"Master Ye?" Ah Xing's answer was mixed in Chinese and English, and even Matt, as a lawyer, didn't understand all of them, but he still sensed a title from the other party's words.
I noticed it.
In the antique shop, Li Ran observed Matt's reaction through the doppelganger, and secretly praised the superhero's acumen.
"Master Ye is a martial artist who accidentally entered Penglai, according to his own words, he was originally a martial artist, because he was tired of fighting and felt his powerlessness in the war, and he came to Penglai after a gloomy trip."
Slightly threw out a little bit of the setting about Ip Man, Li Ran tasted it lightly, leaving space for Matt's imagination on the other side.
With Ah Xing's description of Master Ye in mind, Matt immediately returned to the next battle he was about to face. Although, with Ah Xing's joining, he is no longer as powerless as he was in the past when he fights against the Hand in the future, he also knows that if he wants to truly eliminate the threat of the Hand Club, it is absolutely not enough to rely on himself and Ah Xing.
They need more help.
And right now, the closest and most suitable candidate to the two is naturally Luke Cage standing outside.
This invulnerable and powerful big man simply exists for battle.
"Perhaps, let me try."
Faced with the distress expressed by Matt, Ah Xing couldn't help but speak.
From Li Ran's point of view, he naturally hoped that the more people and clones would act together, the better, because in this way he would be able to gain more legends.
……
got out of the car and looked at Luke Cage, who was standing a little farther away, and Li Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in the antique store.
Don't look at Luke Cage, this guy looks like he is five big and three thick, but his personality is completely different from ordinary black people, perhaps because of his encounters and memories in prison, this big man is very content with his duties, and even a little too content with his duties.
"Long time no see, Luke."
Walking forward, Li Ran controlled Ah Xing to say hello to him.
"Actually, it didn't take long." Turning his head and glancing at the doppelganger, Luke Cage said lightly.
"I've heard that you've been on the move since I left Harlem."
"I did that because Daddy, because Harlem needed something worthy of my protection and within my power, not to run and join forces with a blind man to fight some strange organization."
"But, Luke, have you ever thought that if you don't stand up now and defeat the Hand now, their power will come to Harlem sooner or later, and when the time comes, illegal drugs will run rampant all over Harlem, would you like to see this happen?"
"It's just your guess."
Li Ran's words obviously touched on what Luke Cage had been avoiding in his heart and didn't want to think about it deeply.
"Do you really think so, Luke?"
Turning his head and staring directly at Ah Xing for a long time, Luke Cage let out a long sigh and made a compromise in his heart: "Okay, I promised to join you, what is your team called?" ”
"What are we called?" Although he already knew the name of the team in his heart, Li Ran still gave this opportunity to Matt, who was standing not far away.
Matt stood next to the car, although there was a little distance from Ah Xing and Luke Cage's position, but the super sense still allowed him to clearly hear Ah Xing's inquiry, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and the blind lawyer said with a bow.
"Defenders."
