Chapter 36 Overestimation

"Sorry, kid."

As a long-time resident of Harlem, Bobby is absolutely well-informed.

Seeing his categorical reply, Henry nodded and said to Li Ran: "At least there is no place called Willard in Harlem. Maybe you can look for it in other districts. Manhattan is very big. Harlem is just a small piece of it.”

After a little comfort, Henry asked with some concern: "Perhaps, son, are you looking for Willard to find your friends or relatives?"

Shamik interjected and said with some gloating: "Obviously, Dad, he was deceived, or this Willard does not exist at all."

Henry: "Shut up, Shamik, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak."

Turning his head and cursing at Shamik, Henry comforted Li Ran in front of him: "Don't take Shamik's words to heart, he has always been like this." Although he said comforting words, In fact, Henry felt to some extent that Li Ran should have been deceived.

Seeing that Henry and others looked like they had misunderstood, Li Ran felt that he needed to explain.

After all, I'm not really here to visit relatives.

He shook his head, looked up at the concerned face of Father Henry in front of him, and replied: "No, I went to Willard to find the ultimate murderer hidden there - the Fire Cloud Evil God."

"..."

Stopping the movement of sweeping his hair, Luke Cage raised his head and looked at the father in front of him. He shook his head imperceptibly at his questioning gaze.

He had never heard of the Fire Cloud Evil God or anything like that, whether it was during the time he was in prison or on the run.

Even as Luke Cage glanced across Li Ran's face, he couldn't determine whether the so-called Fire Cloud Evil God with a convoluted name was real or fake.

Perhaps, everything is just the imagination of the Asian man in front of me.

In the barber shop, after everyone looked at each other for a while because of Li Ran's sudden words, Shamik reacted first: "Haha, boy, you actually believe such an obvious lie, Fire Cloud Evil God? Fire Cloud Evil God, this The name is good, it sounds cool, and it will be my nickname from now on..."

Well, I overestimated people's acceptance.

But think about it, although there are already sporadic superheroes like Daredevil active in New York, including Hell's Kitchen, there is still a gap compared to the future situation where superheroes will appear on a large scale in front of the public like the New York War. Without the big impact like New York, it would be somewhat, no, extremely difficult for people, especially the black people in the barber shop, to accept a setting like Fire Cloud Evil God that has an obvious oriental flavor.

Simply speaking, Li Ran also knew that the difficulty of the matter would not be achieved overnight.

Therefore, the goal he set at the beginning was to leave a rough memory in the minds of everyone in the barber shop, especially Luke Cage, and to be prepared for long-term foreshadowing.

Although I have achieved my goal, I still have to continue to perform.

Facing Shamik's teasing move, he deliberately frowned and said: "Fire Cloud Evil God is a very dangerous existence, and it is not a name that you can use as a joke."

"What, are you unhappy?" Compared to Luke Cage, Li Ran was obviously a bully in Shamik's eyes, so after hearing his rebuttal, Shamik immediately stopped the smile on his face and said, He stood up and looked at the guy in front of him who was half a head shorter than himself.

The corner of his mouth subconsciously raised a sarcastic smile: "Or, do you want to do something to me?"

Faced with Shamik's behavior of seeking a fight, Li Ran naturally had nothing to say.

He is not someone else's father, so he doesn't need to accommodate him in everything.

With a little luck on his feet, he planned to make a move to let the opponent know how much he could do.

However, at this moment, a tall figure crossed between Li Ran and Shamik. Luke Cage looked at Shamik with an arrogant expression and said in a deep voice: "Shamik, dad's barber shop is not a place for you to cause trouble. If you want to fight, if you really want to If you do, I'll be with you at any time in the alley behind the barber shop."

"Luke, it's none of your business!"

"As long as it's in the barber shop, it's none of my business."

Gritting his teeth and staring at Luke Cage in front of him for a long time, Shamik turned his head and looked at Li Ran, who was blocked behind the tall figure: "Boy, you are lucky."

In fact, you should be lucky.

Li Ran silently stared at Luke Cage's tall back in front of him, a little speechless.

It was obvious that everyone in the barber shop subconsciously regarded him as the weaker party in the conflict, but in fact, the appearance of Shamik's small arms and legs in front of them could not stop Li Ran's powerful Vajra Kick.

After losing face twice in a row, no matter how thick-skinned Shamik is, he is not willing to stay in the barber shop.

Looking at Shamik's dejected departure, Henry couldn't help but shook his head: "I hope Shamik can understand that fighting is not the only way to solve the problem."

Bobby: "This is Harlem, Henry. You know it's not that easy to survive without the protection of your fists."

Henry: "I know, Bobby, but I also know that Harlem is slowly getting better, and although it's not changing as fast as you might think, at least it's changing."

After chatting casually with Bobby for a few words, Henry turned his attention back to Li Ran.

After solving the conflict in the barber shop, Luke Cage returned to his previous taciturn appearance.

If he hadn't known the other party's abilities, perhaps Henry would have regarded him as an ordinary being.

Shaking his head, Henry came to Li Ran and said after careful consideration: "Son, although the way Shamik spoke before was a bit wrong, some facts may not be wrong. Velarde may just be a place that does not exist."

"No, Willard exists."

Facing Li Ran's firm gaze, Henry had a headache. He thought for a moment and decided to use a softer approach to let Li Ran discover by himself: "Okay, but kid, New York is very big. I want to find you in such a big New York." Speaking of Willard is not an easy task, not to mention, the most important thing is that you don’t have any money.”
