Chapter 810: What If I Can Help You?
Hearing Tom's answer, the guy who was helped up by him seemed a little disappointed. But before he could say anything more, Tom continued.
"No, I'm not a fan of Phantom Knight. I am...... Phantom Knight's friend. ”
......
After Tom said this, the atmosphere in this dimly lit alley became a little strange. The eyes of fans of Phantom Knight, who wore a hood and left only one pair of eyes, widened instantly, and even if he couldn't see other expressions, it was enough to guess how excited and shocked he was at this moment.
Brush!
Then, he ripped off his dirty hood, revealing his bloody face. However, at this time, he didn't care about the injuries on his body.
"Are you really a friend of Phantom Knight?!" I don't know where the strength came from, the guy who ripped off the hood grabbed Tom's shoulder and asked nervously and excitedly.
Not paying attention to the rude behavior of the guy in front of him, Tom just nodded silently, "That's right, I'm really a friend of Phantom Knight." ”
Call!
"Ahh
Judging by the way he looked, he probably completely believed Tom's words. Although Tom is telling the truth, it is impossible for the average person to believe it when they hear it. It can only be said that the fans of this Phantom Knight in front of him are still relatively simple. Perhaps, it was also because Tom had saved his life just now.
"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet?" Tom asked, watching the guy in front of him dance.
Since this guy is a fan of Phantom Knight, and he wants to become a street hero like Phantom Knight, Tom is still a little interested in him. After all, after learning about the other identity of his friend Jackson, Tom has always had this idea, otherwise he would not be easily deceived by Hydra.
"Ah, my name is Dave!Dave Lezesky!" Hearing his Phantom Knight friend ask his name, the guy replied without hesitation.
Dave Lezeski...... Well, my name is Tom, Tom Smith. After the guy in front of him introduced himself, Tom also introduced himself.
"Hello, Mr. Smith!"
Tom: "......"
A few minutes later, Tom was a few hundred meters out of the alley. And beside him, a young man in a jumper who looked about his age followed him. Although the person next to him was wearing a loose jumper, it couldn't hide the unnaturalness of his walking, and it was obvious that he was injured. And, if you look closely, you can see a lot of bruises on his face. The blood had been simply cleaned, and now Dave Lezeski was not so embarrassed.
"That...... Tom, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's so surprising. Are you really ...... Is it really a Phantom Knight's friend? It's the Phantom Knight!A Phantom Knight who has slowly become a superhero since he started fighting street crime!" Walking slowly next to Tom, Dave Lezesky didn't know how many times he had confirmed the situation with Tom.
Looking at the strange boy next to him, even if Tom has matured a lot now because of a lot of things, he can't help but hang a few black lines from his head. Seeing that Dave took out his mobile phone and began to search the Internet for information about Phantom Knight, Tom could only continue to speak.
"I do know Phantom Knight, and I'm a friend of his. I didn't know what he did when he was Phantom Knight, though. So, if you want to ask me about this, you might as well go to the official website of the Guardian League. As Dave brought the phone to his eyes, Tom said in a calm tone.
"Uh...... Alright!" Hearing Tom's words, Dave still held back a lot of questions about Phantom Knight in his mind.
"Were you just fighting the street gangsters?" Glancing at the backpack Dave was carrying, Tom diverted the topic, and the fancy homemade tights that Dave had been wearing before contained in the backpack.
"Well, I've been eyeing them for a long time. Merely...... If I had been more prepared this time, it wouldn't have been like this!" Dave replied with a tug of the corners of his mouth at Tom's question.
"If you had been more prepared, I probably wouldn't have been able to save you. Seeing Dave's unwilling look, Tom said lightly.
"Well, why?"
While Dave was confused, Tom had pulled a small pistol out of his clothes. Those two street bullies weren't just going to smash people in the head with iron rods, they had big killer weapons. If Dave did hurt them, then in the end, Dave would have received not a terrible beating, but probably a fatal bullet.
"It's ...... Pistol, real pistol!Tom, where did you come from?!" Dave shouted in surprise at the pistol in Tom's hand.
Dave's innocent mind hadn't realized what Tom had to do with what he had just said and the pistol he was taking out now, and he thought it was Tom's own.
"This pistol is not mine, I took it from those two men. So, if you do damage to them and don't quickly incapacitate them, do you think you'll survive?"
Hiss~
Hearing Tom's explanation, Dave couldn't help but gasp. Dave wasn't afraid of being beaten, he had rough skin anyway. However, if he was shot, Dave's life could have stopped forever in that alley, which was not the result of his desire to be a street hero.
"He!~he! They have guns!" Dave couldn't imagine that he would dare to attack the gun-wielding villain, and Dave was now scared.
"Well, so, even if you want to do this kind of thing in the future, you must first determine the true strength and situation of the other party. Otherwise, you won't have such good luck next time. Looking at Dave's scared look, Tom said in a serious tone.
"Well, do you think I can still do such a thing? After all, I'm so weak that I can't even beat two street thugs. Hearing Tom's words, Dave looked up at Tom in surprise and asked.
After today's events, Dave's dream of becoming a street hero like Phantom Rider was almost shattered. After all, Dave is just an ordinary person, and he is also a very weak ordinary person, and he can do this kind of thing completely by relying on the heart of Zhonger in his heart. Now, the reality has hit him, and even the second middle school will understand that this kind of thing is not so easy to do.
"What if...... I said I can help you?"
