Chapter 63: Adoption

After a light meal, Maria declined Christine's invitation and insisted on taking one last flight back to New York.

Traveling between two cities in one day is not only boring, but also physically exhausting, spending more than 10 hours on a plane alone.

But Joey understands that Los Angeles is a strange city to Maria, and there's nothing wrong with her just being homesick.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the group of three finally returned home.

That's right, it's the trio, Maria, Joey, and Wanda, who is temporarily adopted by the homeless.

The adoption process wasn't complicated, and Joey only asked two simple questions.

First: Do you have money? Second: Do you have a place to live?

Wanda thought about it and found that she didn't have any, so she agreed to come down and promised to move out in the shortest possible time.

Joey's unfathomable strength is also one of the important factors that prompted Wanda to stay, she is tired of hiding from XZ, hoping to have a safe haven to shelter herself, and has no other thoughts for the time being, just a simple yearning for security.

"No one has lived in the first room on the left hand side of the third floor, the bedding and toiletries are in the cabinet, Wanda, live in peace of mind, it doesn't matter how long you live."

Although Maria has doubts about Joey's taking Wanda, now that she has made a decision, she will not hold on to it.

Although she is the head of the family, Joey is also an adult, at least in front of outsiders, Maria cannot question and destroy Joey's dignity as an adult.

Thinking about it from another angle, it is not a bad thing to have one more person in the family, Maria actually likes to be alone at home, and she hopes that someone can accompany her every day to catch up on dramas, go shopping together, and go to yoga SAP together.

It's a pity that Joey is not interested in any of this and does not have the time, so Maria has often been bored lately.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Wanda withdrew her gaze and bowed in thanks, the unfamiliar environment made her a little restrained.

"Still called Madame?"

Maria said dissatisfiedly, "Am I that old? I'm only 18 years old! ”

"Flutter ~ Maria, you're so cute."

After getting acquainted, Wanda laughed heartily and thought to herself: What a very interesting mother and son.

"Wanda, do you like watching horror movies?"

Maria was not sleepy for a while, but suddenly a strange idea came to her.

She likes to watch horror movies, but she is the type of person who loves and fears, and if someone can hide under the covers and shiver with her, it is definitely one of the most extreme enjoyments in life.

"Horror films? Is it the kind that is bloody and has severed limbs in the large intestine sprinkled everywhere? ”

"That's right, it's very exciting!"

Seeing that Wanda did not have a trace of fear, Maria immediately became excited.

"Yes, I like it too."

Wanda smiled back when she saw this, there was no liking or disliking, but she was also happy to see Maria happy.

The bloody movie Wanda rarely watches, but the picture is not uncommon, and it can even be said to be familiar, because occasionally she will make a cameo role in a prop master director or something like that.

Ten minutes later, after washing up, Joey saw the two curled up on the sofa watching a movie, like a pair of sisters.

It's going too fast, isn't it?

Joey shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand the woman's friendship, and turned back to his room.

When it comes to sleeping, Joey has to scold the system for being wasted, people are superhuman who casually don't fit his eyes for a few days and nights like no one else, he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat.

Rather than being enhanced, the attributes of the system are more like plug-ins to modify values, and the heaviest sense of disobedience is speed.

In fact, Joey didn't experience how fast it was, sometimes it was like he was being fast-forwarded, and sometimes it was like the world was slowing down, which was fundamentally different from normal fast.

He doesn't have a biological stance and can't fly, but he does have a cheating stance where personal items such as clothes, shoes, and cell phones won't be damaged in the process.

Larger objects are not good, Joey guesses that there should be a range limit, about two or three centimeters.

Living creatures are completely unaffected by the plug-in, except for superpowers like Susan and Wanda, or superhumans with extraordinary physique, and ordinary people will be torn to shreds by powerful kinetic energy.

Of course, these are all Joey's family words, in the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a superpower, superpower = plug-in, and there is nothing wrong with it.

......

The night was deep and the wind was bittersweet.

Click, click, click-

The whistling wind was mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps.

A pair of tactical boots with black thick soles stumbled forward, shadows swaying under the streetlights, and a few drops of blood splattered on the ground.

When the shadow staggered away, the lamppost was left with a distinctly crimson handprint.

"Whoo~Whoo~"

The sound of rapid breathing drifted far away in the quiet street, and the owner of the shadow moved with difficulty and walked persistently towards a small building not far away.

Boom Boom –

Suddenly, a thunderclap suddenly sounded.

Dazzling thunder pierced the night sky and flashed across the face of the shadow owner.

Through the thunder, you can see that the shadow owner is already sweating, and his eyebrows are full of exhaustion and fatigue, but his eyes are bright.

Constant blood loss, coupled with physical loss, was able to come all the way here, relying on the support of willpower.

Finally, the shadow reached its destination, and in a violent gasp, knocked on the wooden door in front of it.

'Knock Knock~'

Boom Boom –

The thunder exploded again, easily drowning out the knock on the door, revealing the face of the shadow owner, a bloody streak extending from his right ear to his jaw, and it was Matt, the Daredevil.

"Jessica—Jessica—"

Matt's voice was weak, and he couldn't make a sound in the thunder, but he was confident that his call would be answered.

Meanwhile.

Two figures followed the bloodstains, and when they were less than a hundred meters away from Matt, they stopped and stopped.

Among them, the man with a sturdy body and wearing metal gloves spoke, "What is he doing?" ”

"Not sure, wait and see, he's seriously injured and can't run far."

The other man, who was strong and strong, armed with a metal spear, looked around vigilantly, and then said in a deep voice: "When the prey is at the end of its rope, don't be anxious, because at this time it will show its most ferocious claws, and if you don't want to be scratched by its counterattack before dying, it is better to be cautious." ”

"I didn't see the minions, only a struggling defeated dog." The man in the boxing gloves said disapprerovingly.

"That's even more dangerous, because it's likely to be asking for help from a companion." The strong man thrust his spear into the ground, removed his bow from his waist, and drew an arrow from his back.

He immediately drew his bow like a full moon, pointed directly at Tema, and said: "At this time, the most correct thing to do is to test it first. ”

"Kraven, I respect your professionalism, but can you hurry up?"

The Iron Fist Man looked at his companion who was constantly adjusting the angle of his shot, and looked impatient.

"Herman, don't underestimate any opponent, my prudence has saved me many times, and your arrogance will cost you your life just once."

The two are both members of the Evil Six, the hunter Claire is experienced, and the thriller Herman is a new member, although the latter is a little dissatisfied, but the seniors still listened to it a little, and could only urge: "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, but now that it's almost dawn, can you shoot that damn arrow in your hand first?" ”

"I'm waiting for the moment when the door opens."

Kraven's gaze was sharp, and the hand holding the bow seemed to be integrated with the body of the arrow, as steady as Mount Tai.
