"You want me to be the godfather of your children? Like Sirius from Harry Potter? ”

Godfather has several meanings in the United States, in addition to referring to a person with a unique position in a certain field, it can also be associated with a Christian priest, but there is a certain difference between the two, but nowadays Americans prefer to use the term as a godfather.

That is, the "father-in-law".

"That's right, as the vice president of the Walter Group, you are qualified and capable of becoming Ryan's godfather, as long as you agree, I will let Ryan join Vought." Bei Jia's purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, she wants Xia Shang to become Ryan's umbrella, her eyes are very vicious, and she can see at a glance that the relationship between Xia Shang and the motherland is not ordinary.

At least the other side is not afraid of the Motherland.

"Okay, I'll promise."

Outside the door, the motherland's face was pale, he turned around and held the doorknob, only to see that the metal doorknob was directly twisted and deformed under his terrifying force, and after some hesitation, he finally curbed the desire to push the door.

Forget it, as long as he can keep Ryan by his side, the godfather will be the godfather, anyway, Xia Shang is just an outsider, and he is Ryan's real father.

"Ryan." At Béjart's call, Ryan walked out of the room.

"This is Mr. Jervais."

Béjart introduced him.

"Hello, Mr. Jerves." Ryan said nervously.

"From today onwards, Mr. Jervais will be your stepfather, call him Godfather." Béjart silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently patted the dirt off Ryan's body.

However, Ryan pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were full of resistance.

Seeing this, Bejat gently persuaded: "Mr. Jervais is a good person, haven't you always wanted to visit the Vought headquarters?" He's the vice president of the Walter Group, and he's got to meet a lot of superheroes. ”

You must know that before the change, the words superhero and Walter would never appear in Bejart's mouth.

These two words have always been taboo in the home.

"Are all superheroes like my father?" Ryan whispered.

Obviously, the actions of the motherland just now have brought a lingering shadow to the young heart of this poor child.

"How is it possible, they are all very good, and their superpowers are also very fun." Xia Shang said with a smile.

At present, Ryan has not awakened all his abilities, which means that he can't parse any abilities from the other party, however, Xia Shang is not in a hurry, now he has not fully integrated the superpowers of the locomotive, besides, there are many superpowers available for him to choose from now, and he only needs to cultivate Ryan patiently.

Strive to make Lane's potential surpass that of the Motherland.

Because in a sense, as the only superhuman in the black robe who is likely to be a pure natural superhuman, Ryan has a sense of a child of destiny.

"Mr. Jervis."

Regarding the word godfather, Ryan still can't say it.

"Ryan!" Béjat scolded harshly.

"It's okay, don't blame the child, he will get used to it slowly." Xia Shang got up and came to Ryan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit the Walter Building, and treat you to a big meal by the way." ”

Ryan didn't move, but looked at his mother, Béjat.

Beja nodded, "Go early and come back early, I'll wait for you at home." ”

After the mother and son embraced, Xia Shang took Ryan out of the villa, and in his radio wave induction, Xia Shang found the location of the motherland, and suddenly moved from the door to the car.

Seeing Xia Shang and the two walking towards him, the motherland raised a sunny smile and wanted to hug Ryan.

However, Ryan lowered his head to avoid his arms and hid behind Xia Shang.

"Well, we father and son still have a long time together."

Later, Xia Shang drove to Manhattan, only to see that the walls on both sides of the Manhattan road were covered with posters of Storm Girl, Queen Maeve and Starlight, with the slogan "Defender of women's rights, the three loveliest ladies".

Today is the day of the official opening of the New Heroes Publicity Conference, and Xia Shang simply packed the three of them together to promote it.

Xia Shang pressed the car's broadcast button, and the sound of starlight soon came from inside.

"Are you guys ready to meet the new members of the Super Seven? I'm sure you're looking forward to seeing our new addition from Portland to Seattle with incredible abilities, so stay tuned. ”

At the same time, Ryan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked around curiously, a scene he had never seen before, and everything was very new in his eyes.

The motherland on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and he had to find something to talk to his son: "Is it your first time in Manhattan?" By the way, can you give me your phone number, if someone is bullying you, you can call me at any time. ”

I saw Ryan leaning on the window and said, "I don't have a mobile phone, is this called Manhattan?" It's the first time I've seen so many people. ”

"I can't believe you don't have a cell phone."

The motherland immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to Ryan without hesitation, "This is a gift for you." ”

"Thank you." After all, a child is a child, not to mention that the motherland is still his father, and the previous unhappiness has long been left behind by him, Ryan took the phone and looked at it repeatedly, with a happy expression on his face.

"I don't have anyone to contact, though."

"You can call me, Ryan, I don't have many friends at your age." The people of the motherland expressed their understanding, and he deeply felt this.

"Mom said that loneliness makes people understand themselves better."

Ryan's words resonated with the motherland, and he looked at his son distressedly, "Your mother is right, can I tell you a secret?" Actually, my dad never played baseball with me on the lawn, and in fact, I didn't have a dad at all, and I didn't have a mom at all. ”

At this time, Xia Shang, who was driving, spun the steering wheel expressionlessly.

"Ryan, you'll soon understand that it's not better to be better than everyone else in the world, it almost isolates me from the world, and God ...... You shouldn't feel that ...... Pain or loneliness, Lane, we are God, sons, we can do whatever we want, no one can stop us, this feeling, very wonderful.

And you, right now, can share this wonderful feeling with me. ”

I have to say that Béjart is right that he doesn't want Ryan to come into contact with the motherland, this guy's brainwashing ability is not inferior to that of Storm Girl.

It's a pity that Ryan has a mother, and the education he received since childhood prevented him from understanding what the countrymen said.

"Here we go, Ryan, let's get out of the car." Xia Shang opened the car door and walked towards the Walter Building with Ryan.

Today's entrance to the Vought Building was crowded with superhero fans, and a large number of news media reporters, as the Minister of Security, Britz, was maintaining order at the scene, when he saw Xia Shang's car waiting in front of Vought.

Immediately sent a team of security personnel to escort Xia Shang out of the car.

"Well done, Britz, looks like you've adapted to the job." Xia Shang smiled and nodded to Britz.

"Mr. Jervis, this is what I should do."

Although the relationship between the two is good in private, after all, it is a public place, Britz said with a serious face, and then he helped Xia Shang stop the reporters who flocked to him.

The first time Ryan experienced this scene, he inevitably showed a nervous and frightened expression, at this time, the motherland took Ryan's hand, pulled him to his side, raised his head, showed his standard smile and said: "Don't be nervous, it's no big deal, you should learn to enjoy it all." ”

At the same time, Xia Shang stopped and nodded at one of the blonde reporters in the crowd, and Britz instantly understood what he meant, and brought the blonde reporter to Xia Shang.

The blonde reporter was a standard white beauty, and she looked at Xia Shang in disbelief, "Is it me?" Is it me? ”

She couldn't believe she had been chosen.

"That's right, beautiful lady, it's you, lucky sometimes you always patronize people like you and me." Xia Shang's words caused the reporters and fans present to laugh.

"Sorry ......" After the blonde reporter calmed down, he put the microphone to his lips: "I'm honored, Mr. Jervais, I heard that you became the vice president of Walter step by step from security guard, is this rumor true?" ”

Xia Shang took the microphone handed to him, "That's right, as you can see, in Walter, as long as you are capable, talented, and hard enough, you will get amazing rewards, I have always believed that even small people will have their own highlight moments." ”

In an instant, Xia Shang's speech won him warm applause.

"So Walter is looking forward to your resume, what are you waiting for? Let's do it. Xia Shang smiled.

"Mr. Gervis, although your speech is wonderful, but there has been a lot of negative comments about Walter on the Internet lately, allowing superheroes to enter the military system, and people can't help but worry about whether your power is too large and to the point that no one can supervise it, what do you have to say about this?"

The blonde reporter is worthy of being a professional journalist, and he threw out such tricky and sensitive questions as soon as he came up.

"Vice President."

Britz walked up to Xia Shang's side, and there was a fierce glint in his eyes.

Xia Shang shook his head imperceptibly, and then replied with a smile: "I know that many people are very concerned and worried about this issue, but what I want to say is that the foundation of our Walter survival is inseparable from the support and trust of the masses, and I believe that it is not only the Ministry of Defense that can supervise Walter."

And tens of thousands of people, you can also supervise Walter, and you also have this great power! ”

In the room on the top floor of the Walter Building, Edgar, who was wearing a suit, was sitting in front of the TV, and when he heard Xia Shang's speech, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he raised his hand to take a sip of coffee.
