Chapter 41 Proof

Luke Cage has always tried hard to hide his specialness.

This includes working two jobs at the same time, not participating in any dangerous things, not provoking gangs, not doing bad things, and doing everything possible to avoid exposing your identity.

However, he did not expect that this outsider who suddenly came to Harlem and showed up at the barber shop would reveal his biggest secret so easily.

At this moment, Luke Cage thought a lot.

He even suspected that Li Ran was sent to arrest him by the private detention center where he was originally held.

"Who are you anyway?"

"My name is A Xing, and I come from Penglai, a secret realm in the East."

[Legendary from Luke Cage +85]

[Legendary from Henry +40]

Sure enough, background settings still have to be thrown out one by one to be effective. Showing them all at once will lose the shocking effect of foreshadowing.

Looking at the considerable legend on the data panel, Li Ran was slightly distracted, but he quickly regained his thoughts. After all, what he wanted was more than just the legends in front of him.

"Dongfang, Penglai?"

With this somewhat convoluted name in his mouth, Luke Cage looked at him as if he was getting to know Li Ran again.

It's still the same red sweatshirt paired with the funny haircut given by his father, but it can't hide the mysterious aura exuding from his body.

"Dad thinks he has seen enough after living for such a long time." Henry shook his head: "But obviously, I still see too little."

"Axing, what kind of place is Penglai in your mouth?"

"Penglai is a fairy island located outside the East China Sea in Chinese legends. We live on Penglai Island and maintain the principle of hiding from the world. Unless under very special circumstances, we rarely appear in front of mortals."

Since we have to throw away the setting, we naturally have to talk about it in a higher level, how to introduce it with strong character, so even if Li Ran is the only one in Penglai at present, he still puts on a mysterious posture and vows to face it. Luke Cage and Dad said in the barber shop.

"A very special situation?"

Luke Cage keenly noticed the content of Li Ran's words. Thinking of what he said in the barber shop yesterday, his heart stirred up: "Could it be that everything you said yesterday is true?!"

"There really is a Fire Cloud Evil God." Thinking of Li Ran's previous name for this name, Luke Cage couldn't help but frowned: "The Ultimate Killer King." This was not a nice name.

"Of course, do you think I'm lying?"

Secretly thinking about Luke Cage in his heart, Li Ran had a surprised expression on the surface.

In the barber shop, Luke Cage and his father looked at each other. Rather than believing in the so-called Fire Cloud Evil God who suddenly appeared, the lie was naturally more convincing.

"Axing, it's not Dad, I don't believe what you said. It's just that it belongs to Penglai and Fire Cloud Evil God all at once. It's really a bit..." Henry didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already quite obvious. .

Although he has seen the extraordinary things that Luke Cage has shown, his invulnerable skin and superhuman strength are undoubtedly very powerful abilities.

However, these abilities seem less important than what Li Ran said.

Facing the doubtful attitude shown by his father Henry, Li Ran could naturally understand. After all, no matter how perfect the setting was, it was just empty talk before sufficient evidence was shown.

Nodding, Li Ran glanced at the barber shop, and then focused on the vending machine in the corner.

"Although there is no intuitive evidence, but..."

…

Harlem paradise.

nightclub during the day,

Instead of the beautiful lights at night, there is an atmosphere of gang violence.

‘Rattlesnake’ Willis Stryker stood in the ballroom on the first floor, looking at the men gathered in front of him, and then turned to signal to the thugs behind him.

Nodding, one of the thugs turned around and pulled out a bruised and swollen figure from the corner.

After being pushed out staggeringly, Shamik spit out the blood in his mouth. He opened his swollen eyes and glanced at the crowd gathered in Harlem Paradise. It was obvious that he had not had a good night last night.

"Nigger," Willis stepped in front of Shamik and patted his scarred cheek: "You should be lucky that you were lucky enough not to be fed to the dogs by me, so on the way down, If I find out that you have lied to me at all, I promise to let you know what it means to feel like life is worse than death."

"Don't worry, everything I said is true."

After one night's encounter, it was obvious that Shamik had changed somewhat. Faced with Willis's threat, he grinned and replied with a bloody smile.

"So much the better."

Pushing the opponent's head away, Willis ignored Shamik who fell to the ground, turned around and shouted to the men in front of him: "As we all know, Harlem has been the kingdom of our black people since the past, making white people afraid. Heaven. However, just yesterday, a guy who didn’t know the height of the sky challenged our authority and hurt our brothers, so brothers, fight for the new Harlem!"

“For a new Harlem!”

"Set off!!"

…

"Axing, are you sure this is where you want to show the legendary Penglai?"

In the back alley of the barber shop, my father looked at Li Ran, who was holding a can of drink with a calm expression. He looked around and asked with a subtle expression.

"That's right."

Li Ran nodded and drank the last sip of the drink from the can in his hand.

"Penglai is too far away from New York. I can't let it appear in front of you." Turning around to look at Luke Cage and barber shop dad Henry standing next to him, Li Ran explained seriously.

As the mysterious Penglai that currently only exists in the setting, Li Ran naturally cannot create it out of thin air, but he has his own way.

Although he cannot transform Penglai, he can indirectly prove the existence of Penglai through his own performance.

"However, I can use other methods to prove that everything I say is true."

As he spoke, Li Ran let go of his hand holding the can.

The right leg took a few steps back, and then the powerful Vajra leg suddenly exerted force. With a roaring sound, it accurately kicked the falling can.

"This is my proof."

Li Ran raised his hand and pointed at the can that was flying across the sky. He didn't know where it was going, and turned to Luke Cage and his father who were standing behind him.
