Chapter 189
Over Washington, above the clouds.
Hodge and Hyperion stood opposite each other, floating silently in the air.
"It's a shame that you have so much power to be a small newspaper reporter." A deep, deep sound reverberated through the air.
Hyperion clasped his hands in front of his chest, tilted his head, and looked at Hodge in front of him with contempt.
"It's my freedom to choose what career to choose, I'm different from you, I still have to support my family, I can't do it without money." Hodge shrugged his shoulders in the face of Hyperion's taunts, not paying attention.
"Raising a family? What a ridiculous theory, how can those mortals be our companions? Hyperion scoffed.
"Mortal?" Hodge furrowed his eyebrows, a little dissatisfied with Hyperion's tone. "They're mortals? What are we? ”
"We are above them, and if one of us is willing, ruining the world is just a blink of an eye." Hyperion said proudly.
"Override? Well, what you said is very good, our power is indeed strong, but I am different from you, I don't need the admiration and worship of others, I just want to live my life simply, understand? Hodge looked at Hyperion earnestly, his eyes sharp and determined, without the slightest flicker.
After staring at Hyperion for a long time, Hodge felt that although he and Hyperion had the same strength, they had very different attitudes towards life.
He thinks he's above the world, while Hodge wants to be ordinary.
"Okay, I'll go first, I'm here for work, I'll be back soon. It won't disturb your 'work'. Retracting his gaze, Hodge didn't care what Hyperion thought, and his body flickered. Get out of here.
Looking at Hodge's departing back, Hyperion snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous that you are so ignorant that you have such power." ”
……
Only five or six minutes into the conversation with Hyperion, the office door was open when Hodge changed his clothes and returned to the Global Daily branch. At the desk, Lauren sat upright, though there were no scars on her face. But Hodge's eyes were sharp, his ears were red, and he grinned silently from time to time.
Although the door to the office was open, Hodge knocked politely. "Knock knock!"
"Oh. Hodge, where have you been? Liana has been looking for you just now. As soon as Lauren saw Hodge, he exclaimed, but it seemed that the love was too big, and the muscles in the director's face trembled, making him grin again.
"It's nothing, I just went to see the outside environment, and it feels good." Hodge's eyes rolled. He casually made an excuse and then didn't wait for Lauren to continue talking. smiled and teased: "You look very injured, do you need to go to the hospital?" ”
In the face of Hodge's ridicule, Lauren's face was straight, and he said righteously: "This is the spur of love!" ”
The corners of Hodge's eyes jumped, looking at Lauren with a stern face, and his two red ears, and said meaningfully: "This love is deep enough." ”
"Hehe" Lauren smiled awkwardly, and then directly changed the subject: "By the way, I already know the mission you came here for, and you probably need to stay here for a few days." ”
Hodge nodded, "No problem. ”
Hodge was supposed to stay in Washington for a few days, after all, he was going to see the Fantastic Four, "By the way, what did you say Liana was looking for me?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that you're gone after you came out, and she's going to make preparations now, and she asked me to tell you, you get acquainted with Washington when you come back, and I'll act with her tomorrow." Hearing Hodge mention Liana, Lauren smiled bitterly and looked helpless.
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Hodge answered, and just as he was about to leave, Lauren suddenly said, "By the way, do you want to go and have fun together tonight?" Girls in Washington are no worse than New York. As he spoke, he shook his eyebrows to reveal an expression that a man understands.
"Ahem. No, I have a girlfriend, and ...... I have other things to do. Sorry!" For Lauren's suggestion, Hodge quickly shook his head and refused.
Just kidding, although Hodge has lived in this world for more than ten years, he is still insensitive to what Lauren said.
And Hodge didn't know which ordinary woman could withstand his body, and he didn't want a good thing to turn into a tragedy......
Seeing Hodge's refusal, Lauren's eyes widened in disbelief, "Oh, please. Hodge, you're a man, you're not married, it's just for fun, it's not a big deal, you're not going to be a young bird. ”
"No, Lauren, thank you for your kindness, I have something to do, let's go first." Hodge waved his hand, quickly turned around, and ran out without looking back.
After Hodge left, Lauren opened her mouth, sighed reluctantly, and smiled wryly, "Well, you win, Liana." Lauren rose from her seat and raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.
As soon as Lauren's words fell, Liana slowly walked out from behind the door with a smug face, her small nose snorted, "Now you know, not everyone is like you. Remembering your promise, I'll go first. ”
After saying that, Liana twisted her small waist and left Lauren's office with a reluctant face.
The Bacchus Building, the home and base where the Fantastic Four live.
At this time, Mr. Artifact - Li De and his girlfriend Invisible Woman - Susan, as well as Susan's younger brother Thunderbolt - Johnny and Stone Man - Ben. The four of them gathered around a table, with a stern face.
"Whatever you think, express your opinion." Mr. Fantastic, who had short brown hair and a handsome face, looked around at the three of them and spoke first.
"Opinion?" As soon as Li De's voice fell, Thunderbolt-Johnny said sarcastically in surprise: "You haven't always liked to be arbitrary, why have you become democratic now?" ”
"Johnny!" As soon as the thunderbolt spoke, he was interrupted by the coquettish scolding of the invisible woman, and Johnny saw his sister looking at him with an angry face, and his heart was annoyed, and he turned his head away in displeasure and ignored the two.
And Ben, who looked honest and honest, looked at the awkward sister and brother with a smile, and smiled, "You make a decision, Li De, I believe in you." ”
"Humph! It's up to you! Seeing Ben also facing Li De, Johnny suddenly became angry, stood up directly, and left angrily.
Bang!
Looking at Johnny who slammed the door, Susan was just about to catch up, but was dragged by Li De, "Let him go, he will come back naturally if he figures it out himself." ”
"But I'm afraid he won't be able to control his abilities......"
"Don't worry, Susan, aren't we still there?" Li De looked at Susan affectionately, with a stern expression.
"Well, listen to you, what about your decision? Yes or no. Susan nodded, and sat down with a distressed expression.
"My own opinion is to agree, after all, we are scientists, not criminals. And we are public figures, and our information does not need to be kept secret. Li De glanced at the two of them, and then said: "As long as we ensure that our research results are not stolen, we don't need to scruple about the rest."
……
As Mr. Fantastic sat down to decide, Thunderbolt-Johnny angrily walked out of the Bacchus building, but as soon as he stepped out of the building, he slammed into a man.
"Hey, man, be careful when you walk." Johnny felt as if he had hit a wall, and involuntarily took a few steps back, surprised and grumbled.
"I'm sorry, but if you don't walk with your head down, you probably won't bump into someone." In the face of Johnny's complaints, Hodge just smiled, "Hello, Johnny Storm, my name is Hodge Paso, can we talk?" (To be continued......)
