Chapter 761: Long live the short-legged superhero
"She's not my wife......"
Hearing Russell mention the woman in the photo, Thomas was stunned, as if he had lost his soul.
"It's not your wife, whose wife is that?" Russell laughed, "Thomas, what are you doing hanging other people's wives on the wall of your house, uh, and laughing like a kind old father." ”
"I was a kind old father."
Thomas muttered something quietly, and then said, "This ghost...... Mr. Angel, what are you looking for me? I mean, do you have anything else to do besides scaring people? ”
"To be precise, I'm not looking for you, but your son, Arthur Curry."
"Arthur! What's wrong with him, he's causing trouble again? Hearing Russell mention his precious son, Thomas immediately became vigilant, for fear that the comer would not be good.
"Don't get excited, I don't have malicious ......"
Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that Thomas's heart was cold, and then he said: "It turns out that he was drinking in the bar, thank you for your cooperation, God likes honest people, I wish you to go to heaven after death." ”
"What! What a bar, I've never said that! ”
Thomas was startled, and he subconsciously thought that Arthur had said that he had been at the bar all night tonight, but he was sure, but he thought about it in his heart, and his mouth didn't say it.
"Thomas, a man may lie, but his heart will not ......"
Russell patted Thomas on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm a good person, I won't do anything to your son." ”
With that, Russell strode out of the room, politely closing the door as he left.
Thomas looked at Russell's disappearing back in a daze, thought of his son Arthur, chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door to chase after him.
This opening is facing the sea, the salty wind is blowing, and there is no ghost of Russell.
……
Amnesty Bay Town Bar!
Because of the population base, the number of alcoholics in the town is far less exaggerated than in other towns, so this is the only bar in the town that is open all night.
Soft and soothing music wafted through the bar, and with the exception of a few girls playing billiards, everyone else in the bar gathered around a table, sipping beer and laughing uncontrollably, occasionally sneering or encouraging.
There is no resident singing in the small bar, and the reserved program to survive is to wrestle wrists, as long as you can defeat the first wrist strength master in the bar, the drinks are free for all tonight.
Yes, the bar's number one wrist master is Arthur Curry, who is not 'Aquaman' yet, just a superpowered person who often helps fishermen.
Because the residents of Amnesty Bay and the surrounding towns have more or less been helped by him, people are happy to come to this bar to have a drink or two with him.
For this, the owner of the bar gave Arthur a cut of the sales of alcohol, which became Arthur's main source of income, and he could drink for free without restrictions, which was very much in line with his salted fish mentality.
"Guys, Arthur's record tonight is 35-0, who else is going to challenge him?"
The bar owner and bartender began to liven up the atmosphere, pointing to the crowd of onlookers watching the excitement on the side: "You soft eggs, when you brag, one is better than the other, and as a result, when you prove yourself with your actions, you are all cowardly!" ”
"Fart! I'm not cowardly, I'm just drinking too much, and if I'm in shape, a weak chicken like Arthur, I can take down 100 in one go. ”
"Me too!"
"Who isn't!"
"I'm not, if I hadn't drunk much, I could have taken down 1,000 Arthurs."
The onlookers covered their heads one after another, and one by one the emojis of 'I can't do it', 'Count him lucky today', and 'Let him go for the time being' were launched, but no one was willing to stand up and provide jokes.
Arthur's record is known to everyone, going up is looking for abuse, they just drank too much, and they haven't drunk to the point of 'Lao Tzu is the best in the world'.
"Get out of the way, I'll challenge him."
At this time, a strong man who drank 'Lao Tzu is the best in the world' walked out, and he took off his white short sleeves, revealing his tattooed tendon flesh.
"Everyone, let's welcome this warrior!"
"Oooh oh ————"
After the bar owner fanned the atmosphere, he looked at the strong man with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage, the registration fee is 2 US dollars." ”
After hearing this, the strong man raised his hand to cover his temples, and silently put his clothes back on himself: "No, I may have drunk too much, I want to lie down for a while." ”
After saying that, the strong man collapsed in the chair, as if he was dead.
The barkeeper was about to taunt him, when suddenly a green Franklin appeared in front of him, and he looked down his arm, and it was a new face that he had never seen before.
"I'm signing up!"
Russell stuffed Franklin into the bar owner's jacket pocket: "100 US dollars, and the rest is a tip, no need to look for it." ”
"Okay...... You'll have all the drinks for free tonight, and I'll get you a drink of the town's treasure. ”
The barkeeper picked up the knife and confirmed that it was Franklin himself, and immediately became extremely polite, for he had never seen anyone more generous than Russell's hand in the small town of Amnesty Bay.
After paying the registration fee, Russell sat opposite Arthur and carefully looked at the other party's appearance.
In the DC world, this fierce face with a big beard + long hair is Aquaman, and if you put it in Marvel, it is the younger brother of Thor, if you dye your hair white and straighten it, you will either worship or have a leopard's head, and then buckle a red hat, perfect for a cameo in Santa Claus.
You can't go wrong, this artistic face, Aquaman Arthur Curry didn't run away!
"Man, you're losing a lot of money for 100 US dollars for drinking, if you secretly stuff 20 US dollars for me, I can release water for you to win in the game later, in this case, you only need to pay 20 US dollars to get free drinks."
Arthur looked Russell up and down, neither tall nor strong, but his face was a little white, which was stable.
"Hey, Arthur, what stupid things you're talking about, I've heard you." The owner of the bar snarled and brought a beer to Russell.
The crowd of onlookers laughed after hearing this, and a group of people coaxed together 20 US dollars, and then asked Arthur to release the water, and everyone drank for free tonight.
I never thought that the plan died at the beginning, because when it came to paying money, everyone was drunk and unconscious, and the hand touching the money reached into other people's pockets.
Russell smiled and put his hand on the table: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have 20 US dollars, and I don't go out with change." ”
“……”xN
The atmosphere was inexplicably cold, and after a while, the shouts and curses were endless, and the onlookers turned into key road masters, collectively supporting Arthur and asking him to give Russell a little color.
"Hehehe, you're really interesting......"
Arthur shook his head slightly, feeling that Russell was beyond his strength, and suddenly looked at Nanya, the water ring in Russell's hand, and immediately showed a fascinated expression.
He swallowed and said dryly, "Man, let's make a bet!" If you win, I can give you back $100, and when you come to this bar in the future, all the drinks will be counted on my head. ”
Russell smiled playfully: "Sounds tempting, so what if I lose?" ”
"How about this ring for me?"
"I'm afraid this won't work, my ring is the treasure of the elven queen, representing the protection and favor of the ocean, and money can't measure its value."
Arthur frowned tightly when he heard this, and stared at Russell carefully for a while: "Man, have I seen you somewhere, I always think you are very familiar." ”
As soon as Arthur said this, the onlookers also felt that Russell's face was familiar, and scratched their heads in confusion: "Could it be that he is from our town, but he doesn't usually go out much, so he can't recognize him?" ”
"How can I say it......"
Russell said speechlessly: "My face is unimpeded all over the world, no matter what you do, you can get rid of the order by brushing your face, but only in Amnesty Bay...... This place is closed enough. ”
"Looks like you're still a celebrity."
Arthur put his hands on the table and held Russell's hand tightly: "Ready, you count one, two, three, let's start immediately!" ”
“OK!”
"One ......"
"Two ......"
"Three!"
Russell smiled and closed his eyes, and when he counted to three, he jerked down his arm, only to hear a loud bang, and the table was violently crushed to pieces, and Arthur fell to the ground with his chair, his whole head embedded in the wooden floor.
“……”
There was a dead silence in the bar, and several drunks suddenly stopped being drunk, holding their heads in their hands, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief, unable to figure out what was going on.
At this moment, a drunkard's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Russell and shouted, "I remember, I know who he is!" ”
When Russell heard this, he smiled indifferently at fame and fortune, and inadvertently straightened up against the back of his chair.
That's right, I'm the superhero Death Knell + Angel, hurry up and say it!
"He's Superman, the Met's superhero, and I won't be mistaken for this black hair and black eyes."
"It's amazing, it turns out that he is Superman!"
"No, but he doesn't look that tall."
"Stupid, the cameras on TV are all shot from the bottom up, so they all have long legs, and the real Superman is so tall."
"Is Wonder Woman too?"
"Wonder Woman is not, I have TV news footage, I've studied it tens of thousands of times, she's really long."
"Then I'll be a fan of Wonder Woman from now on, and short-legged superheroes are boring to watch."
"Wait, guys, someone won Arthur, we're all free tonight!!"
"Great, long live free!"
"I'm starting to fan short-legged superheroes again!! Long live the short-legged superheroes! ”
“……”
Russell: "......"
Now, he doesn't expect any miracle to happen in Amnesty Bay, and it's better to die in this hellish place.
Arthur shook his head and got up from the ground, looking at Russell was still a little stunned, when he held Russell's palm, he noticed that there was a huge and incomparable power in the other party's body, but he didn't expect the explosive power to be so terrifying, he was knocked down before he could react.
"You're here to find me?"
Arthur moved a desk and chair and sat opposite Russell, although his face was rough, his academic performance was a mess, and he barely finished high school, but Arthur said that he was really a smart person, but he was delayed by his appearance, so it was not very obvious.
At the very least, he sees people accurately, and like a beast, he has a keen intuition.
"Yes, my name is Russell, I'm not a local, and I've come to Amnesty Bay to find you."
Seeing that Arthur's eyes suddenly became vigilant, Russell decided to say something: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to find trouble, in fact, I just met your dad, and he told me that you were in a bar so I could find you." ”
It's very effective, Arthur's vigilance has been lowered a lot when he heard this, since it was said by his father, there should be no problem.
At this moment, the bar owner suddenly shouted: "Arthur, your dad Tom is calling, run away when you meet a strange stranger!" ”
