Chapter 22: The Hydra Comes to the Door
"Boss Li, business is prosperous and the wealth is abundant!"
"Rejoice and rejoice!"
New York, Manhattan, Chinatown!
Today, a new antique shop has opened in Chinatown, so early in the morning firecrackers are firecracked, and dragon and lion dances are not lively.
Standing at the door and constantly accepting congratulations from others, Li Qingyuan felt that his own was about to stiffen with laughter.
As an Italian who moved to New York, if he wants to live legally and reasonably in New York, then he must have a clear identity here.
It's naturally impossible to work for someone else, and it's hard to cross over, so why do you have to be your own boss!
According to the general plot setting, he should now go to Hell's Kitchen to open a general store or run an exorcism clinic or something, so as to be worthy of the main line of Marvel.
But after considering half the salary, he felt that that kind of lifestyle was definitely not suitable for him.
In the shabby place of Hell's Kitchen, three days of gunfights and two gunfights, plus all kinds of thugs grabbing turf, how much can't I think about it, so I will go to that kind of place to beg for a living?
Then you might as well stay in Sokovia!
Besides, the current Wanda is still a cute little Lori, and there is no means of self-protection at all, if something happens accidentally, it will be too late for you to regret it!
So after thinking about it again, he decided that it would be better to be more stable, and directly gave up the two newcomers' birthplaces of Hell's Kitchen and Queens, and chose Chinatown, a relatively peaceful and safe area.
Geographically speaking, Chinatown is right in the middle of Hell's Kitchen and Queens, and if you don't get stuck in traffic, it's only twenty or thirty minutes away.
When it's okay, it's just a matter of fighting monsters and brushing up skills, and he has no plans to set up his home in a monster den.
If you go out every day and have to worry about the cold gun that suddenly comes over and you will be sent directly to the sky by the bazooka when you sleep at night, this kind of day is really unbearable.
As for why you want to open an antique shop in Chinatown?
Anyway, he doesn't plan to make money from this store, the main reason for opening a store is to have a legal identity!
Besides, if you have an antique shop in hand, it will be much more justified to deal with the antiques you brought out of the mission world when the time comes.
Wanda happily clapped her little hands and jumped beside her, it was the first time she saw the lion dance, and she felt very interesting.
Pietro doesn't know where to go crazy, anyway, he is so big, and he is not afraid of losing it!
After warmly greeting the neighbors, the bustling shop slowly deserted.
After all, antique shops can't always be like restaurants, and they are basically the owners who haven't opened for three years and have eaten for three years.
What's more, all the antiques in his store are fakes that have just been obtained from the small commodity wholesale market, and they haven't even torn off the labels, which would be too if all fools were fooled.
handed the opening red envelope to the foreman of the lion dance team, and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock, Li Qingyuan pondered about closing the door and then took Wanda to eat hot pot.
As for Pietro?
When it's time for dinner, the kid will definitely show up immediately, and you don't have to worry about him at all!
It's just that he was just about to close the door when he saw a customer appear in the store.
The other party was holding the cockscomb cup printed on the bottom of the bowl during the Ming Dynasty, as if it was really an antique that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and it was not what he bought from the vegetable market yesterday.
"Are the guests here to buy something?"
Looking up at the young white man standing in his shop, Li Qingyuan asked a little depressed.
Originally, with his height of 1.8 meters, he was already very good among the Chinese, but this guy in front of him was actually half a head taller than himself, which really made people feel the deep malice from the world.
And this kid is quite handsome, even from his man's point of view, the other party's appearance can definitely be regarded as handsome and straight, and the overall calculation is slightly worse than his own by one or two points.
"If I want to buy it, I should buy that painting!" The young man put down the fake cockscomb cup in his hand, pointed to the Picasso painting hanging on the side wall, and said.
Originally, Li Qingyuan was going to send this painting directly to the auction house to sell, but considering that the source is not very easy to explain and there are still a lot of savings on hand, he also put this matter behind him and prepared to talk about it later.
Because Picasso's works are really not understood by anyone except those brick houses, so he hung them directly on the wall, anyway, so many people wandered around his shop in the morning, and no one found that the painting was still real.
But this guy in front of him can find out the most valuable thing in his store at a glance, not to mention the rest, this eyesight alone is very powerful.
What's more, why does he always feel that the other party looks a little familiar!
When Li Qingyuan was looking at the other party, the other party was also constantly looking at him.
Grant. Ward, a fifth-level senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., an expert in covert operations, has a fighting and killing skills, and can rank in the top 30 even in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.
Don't look at the top 30 seems to be just a trick title, but in fact, in terms of the probability that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are all over the world, Grant. Ward can definitely be regarded as the world's top soldier king.
In fact, he has single-handedly completed many tasks that seem unthinkable to others, such as when he flew back from Eastern Europe and his last mission was to assassinate the consul of a small country.
It stands to reason that he and Li Qingyuan would not have crossed paths so quickly, but who told Ward to drive his motorboat diagonally across the Mediterranean Sea after completing the mission and happened to encounter an explosion!
The entire stowaway ship suddenly disintegrated before his eyes, and the employees on board turned into dust in the Mediterranean Sea without even having time to react, which made Agent Ward shiver.
Fortunately, I was a little slower, otherwise wouldn't I have been directly injured by mistake?
Generally speaking, a master of action like him will have an instinctive protective reaction before encountering danger, which is the legendary sixth sense.
No one could tell what it was, but Ward knew that if he hadn't triggered that feeling, he would have died no one more times.
But this time, his sixth sense didn't even have time to warn, which shows that the skills of the person who set up the explosives have reached the point of perfection.
Such masters, even within S.H.I.E.L.D., are estimated to be very few!
So Grant. Ward immediately resembled his immediate boss, John. Garrett reported, and then found Li Qingyuan's location.
