Chapter 40: Conflict
On the plane, Ryan put on an eye patch and half-lay down to rest.
Judging from Fang Cai's conversation, the meeting with Blade was a complete coincidence.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to buy a ticket at the same airport for about the same time, Blade wouldn't have been able to find him at all.
This is enough to prove that the means of tracking down vampires did not work for Ryan at all.
However, Blade's ability to spot Ryan intuitively suggests that he also possesses similar qualities or aura to those of a vampire.
To be honest, Ryan also wanted to know why, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to say so much to the other party.
However, the timing and order are not right now.
In terms of time, he has a list of things that need to be dealt with immediately.
In order, he should at least go home first, and if he still can't solve his doubts and problems, he can go to outsiders to find a way.
As for exposure, Ryan isn't worried.
At least on the earth, he doesn't want to change, and there are few people who can force him to change.
Without the iconic fangs and the need to feed on blood, why do you call me a vampire?
If Blade had the ability to investigate Ryan's work and background, he would only be able to hide the matter even deeper.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is not without vampire information and information, and he definitely does not want to expose the existence of vampires to more people.
People can know about aliens, because aliens do not live and mix with humans, and most of the aliens are clearly different from humans.
But vampires are different, the shadows and fears caused by long-standing legends are not comparable to sudden aliens, and humans always spend most of the day and night.
At the end of the day, the blade isn't enough to pose a threat to him.
In addition, Ryan never believed that his special identity required complete secrecy.
……
New York, Bar.
A figure smashed the entire glass table, and the surrounding guests immediately fled in all directions, screaming.
In the debris on the ground, the figure rolled over and before she could stand firmly, a palm quickly fell to her chest.
She flew out again, crashing into the bar, large bottles falling and bursting, and the smell of alcohol quickly filled.
Ryan withdrew his hand and straightened his tie.
Walking into the bar, Jessica lay on the floor, clutching a bottle of wine in her hand and pouring it into her mouth.
Ryan frowned and shook his head, then pulled out his lighter.
When the remaining guests in the bar saw it, they immediately did not dare to linger any longer, and turned their heads to leave, and in a short time, the whole bar was empty.
"I'll help you get rid of it."
There was a click, and the flames ignited.
Jessica slammed to her feet: "Wait a minute! ”
She gasped, her eyes widening in drunken confusion.
"You madman, do I know you?"
Ryan covered the lighter, "I sent someone to look for you the other day. ”
"Huh?" She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I remember, that woman, you sent it?" ”
"Yes."
She grabbed a chair and moved her ass up, leaning on the table with her upper body, and said, "I remember I explicitly refused." ”
Ryan took a few steps forward.
"Obviously, I don't accept rejection."
"Haha, so a government agency like you wants to kidnap me?"
"We don't work for any government, we serve the whole world."
"That's a nice thing to say. I refuse, you don't accept, then what else can you do but kidnap? ”
"There's so much I can do." Ryan reached out and gently pinched her chin.
A flash of anger flashed in Jessica's eyes, but she quickly and drunkenly obeyed Ryan, "You want to soak me?" ”
"Nope."
"You just want to sleep with me?"
Ryan was silent.
"Ha, I guessed it!" She also raised her hand and gently stroked Ryan's face, "You are so good-looking, I do." ”
Ryan grabbed her head.
"I don't say it's not a tacit acquiescence, but I think that you look average, but you think too beautiful."
As soon as the words fell, Jessica's hand suddenly moved down from his face and immediately grabbed his neck.
Ryan didn't move.
Jessica struggled, but Ryan's skin seemed to be lined with a hard steel plate, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through half a point inside.
Ryan looked into her eyes, watching the sudden rise of anger rise and slide down in the burning apex, finally dividing into shock and dazedness, and of course, a bit of cunning.
"I'm just an ordinary private detective, I don't even have the qualifications to take the police exam, how can I be an employee of a global organization like yours, don't you say?" As she spoke, her hand slid to Ryan's chest, and the smile on her face was even more enchanting by the flush of alcohol.
"You can fly." Ryan said bluntly.
Jessica's pupils shrunk.
Ryan continued: "Actually, I really want to communicate with you well, but when we first met, you did it to me first without saying a word. ”
Jessica smiled awkwardly, "I thought it was the kind of little gangster who picked up a conversation." ”
"I don't think my politeness or behavior has anything to do with gangsterism."
"That's because I'm drunk."
"I hate it when people are always making excuses. Let's go, go out and talk. ”
Ryan turned, and Jessica was silent for a moment, sighing and following.
As soon as he stepped out of the bar, a sturdy black man appeared in the doorway, facing Ryan.
He frowned: "I heard that someone is making trouble in my bar, is that you?" ”
Ryan reached into his arms and took out a check: "One hundred thousand, is it enough?" ”
The black man looked around, "That's enough." ”
When he reached out to take it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jessica behind him, and his movements were abrupt. He looked at Ryan again, and then asked Jessica, "Do you need help, lady?" ”
"No, not at all."
"You don't need to worry about anything if someone bullies you......"
"I'm sorry." Ryan interrupted and shook the check in his hand, "Do you want it?" ”
The black man's eyes sharpened: "I'm talking to her." ”
"I'm talking to you." Ryan replied.
"You can destroy what's in the bar, as long as you can pay for it. But if someone bullies my guest, or threatens her or something, I will never turn a blind eye. ”
Ryan turned his head to beckon to Jessica, and when she walked to her side, he asked, "Did I bully you?" ”
She smiled: "No, we are fighting each other. ”
"I threatened you?"
Jessica licked her lips, "I don't think so." ”
Ryan looked back: "Still have questions?" ”
The black man looked at the two and finally shook his head, "I don't believe you." Ma'am, do you know what his name is? ”
Jessica was stunned and looked at Ryan.
Ryan sighed, "You have a great sense of justice. ”
Seeing this, the black man immediately reached out to grab Jessica.
Ryan grabbed his arm with one hand and pulled out his ID with the other and opened: "CIA." ”
The black man shook his hand and shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't trust you anymore, give her to me, and when I confirm your identity, I will hand her over to you." ”
"Nope." Ryan refused.
The black man nodded, "Then I see." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he threw his fist directly at Ryan and stepped forward to force Ryan and Jessica between him.
Jessica watched the play and didn't say anything.
Ryan ignored his fist and just lifted his leg and kicked it up.
The other party also doesn't care about his movements.
A second later,
The black man staggered backwards, his face pained, his eyes full of suspicion.
Ryan frowned, he thought for a moment and asked, "Luke Cage?" ”
The other side's face changed again: "Who are you?" ”
Ryan suddenly said: "It's really you, your skin can even block bullets, no wonder you can still stand and talk to me." However, an escaped prisoner, opened a bar, and dared to obstruct law enforcement, are you so bold? ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"It doesn't matter, but your 100,000 is gone. Let's go, ma'am. He put away the check and continued to leave with Jessica.
When Luke Cage passed, the opponent pounced again.
Ryan twisted around to avoid his attack, his glowing fist slamming into his opponent's heart.
Boom!
Luke soared into the air and crashed into the wall, dust and stone chips shaking off.
"I don't like the look in your eyes, if there's a next time, I'll dig them up for you."
Luke Cage lay on the ground clutching his chest, a ho-ho sound coming from his throat.
Jessica had already woken up and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to call an ambulance for him?" ”
"No!" Luke struggled to raise a hand to stop it.
Ryan said as he walked out, "I don't even dare to go to the hospital, he should be more of a gangster than me." ”
Jessica glanced at Luke twice, then at Ryan who was about to walk out of the door, thinking of Ryan's words just now, she still turned her head and chased after her.
But there was one thing she remembered: this man was very vindictive.
