Chapter 42 Nickname

[Legendary +35 from Luke Cage]

[Legendary from Henry +50]

"How did you do it, Axing?"

After a while, the father put away the dumbfounded expression on his face and looked at Li Ran, who looked like he was taking it for granted.

There is nothing unusual about kicking a can, but it is very surprising for someone like Li Ran to be able to kick a can into the sky and fly to a place where the side cannot be seen.

Because this is obviously beyond the strength of ordinary people. Even if a normal person kicks with all his strength, it is impossible to kick the can to the sky.

What's more, looking at Li Ran's relaxed appearance, it was obvious that he was not using his full strength.

Luke Cage looked at Li Ran's strong thighs exposed by rolling up his trousers. Perhaps because of his extraordinary abilities, he was not as surprised as his father by Li Ran's powerful leg skills.

But, again, Luke Cage is curious about the source of Li Ran's power.

He could feel that the abilities displayed by Li Ran were not the same as the abilities he unexpectedly obtained through experiments.

""Mighty King Kong Kick", this is the name of the Kung Fu I learned in Penglai."

"effort?"

Since the 1970s, Chinese martial arts culture has become popular in the United States. Therefore, when Li Ran said the word "kung fu", Luke Cage and his father not only did not find it strange, but nodded as a matter of course, and suddenly felt that they had All the doubts made sense.

So, stereotypes kill people.

Looking at the expressions of the two people opposite him, Li Ran shook his head inwardly and lamented that the elements of Chinese Kung Fu were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the United States.

At the same time, I felt a little sober, thanks to the hard work of the predecessors, otherwise it would have been Li Ran alone who would throw out the settings and tell the story. Just how to make Americans understand the meaning of the word "Kung Fu" and understand the meaning contained in it is a very difficult challenge.

"King Kong Legs and Wonder Man. I didn't expect Dad and I to meet two people with extraordinary abilities in one day."

"Dad, I've said it before, your nickname is not pleasant." Facing his father's teasing, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly.

Dad Henry: "Hey, Mr. Invulnerability, if I had super powers like yours, the first thing I would do is give myself a better nickname. If I wait until someone else comes to pick it up, I won't be so It’s satisfying.”

Luke Cage: "I'll never have a dad like that, because no one will know what's special about me."

Shaking his head, the father looked at the tall man in front of him: "Never say so absolutely, Luke, maybe Axing is right, you should go out and help others. Maybe this is the real reason why God gave you these super powers. .”

"Riva said the same thing before her eyes." Dad's words obviously reminded Luke Cage of something.

"Maybe she is right. Have you never thought about how you could help others with these powers? Maybe you should be a little ambitious, Luke, and use your abilities to save more people, as Asing said That, changes Harlem.”

Luke Cage: "Perhaps my ambition is just to sweep my hair in the barber shop and wash the dishes in the nightclub, and beg others not to disturb me?"

"You can't escape." At this time, Li Ran, who had been watching from the side, spoke: "You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime."

"Do you think this is all what I want?"

Li Ran's words obviously touched some of Luke Cage's memories. He clenched his fists subconsciously and couldn't help but raise his voice: "I was framed, beaten, and locked up like a tropical fish. Observe, when I came out, I had these inexplicable abilities.

"

Dad: "These abilities saved your life."

Luke Cage: "Rather, it ruined my life. I never expected to have these abilities. Sometimes I even think that if I didn't have these abilities, Reva wouldn't have died because of it. I wouldn't have died because of it." It won’t be like now, hiding here and there.”

Dad: "So what, Luke, listen to me, the past is always the past, the only important direction in life is forward, not behind."

"I just want to live every day and live an ordinary life." He shook his head. Although his father's words touched Luke Cage, it was obvious that he could not convince him to stand up from the pain of the past. .

Fortunately, my purpose is just to spread the legend, not to soothe the scars of some people. Otherwise, I would be the big one at the scene.

Seeing the conversation between the two, Li Ran secretly felt happy.

However, just at this moment, the sound of smashing and screaming came from far away, making his slightly relaxed nerves tense up again.

Because, the direction from which these sounds are coming is...

"This direction seems to be Connie's Chinese restaurant!"

Henry turned his head and muttered a guess.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Li Ran next to him suddenly taking a step forward and rushing towards the Chinese restaurant with lightning speed.

Since they promised Mrs. Connie that they would ensure the safety of the Chinese restaurant, they naturally had to do it.

"Luke."

After glancing worriedly at the direction in which Li Ran disappeared, Dad immediately turned to look at Luke Cage beside him.

"Dad, when I told you the secret, you promised me that you would never force me to do anything I don't want to do." Facing his father's gaze, Luke Cage couldn't help but say.

"But the situation is different now. I'm not asking you to do bad things, Luke." In this regard, Dad did not waver: "You also know the party in trouble, Mrs. Connie, she did not care about your identity before I’ll rent you the house.”

"..."

His father's words clearly shook Luke Cage's expression. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Chinese restaurant, pursed his lips and hesitated, and finally said to his father: "I know, but , Dad, this is the only time, I only promise you to take action once."

"Everything is your own decision." The father slightly curved his mouth and shook his head slightly at Luke Cage.

In response, Luke Cage smiled helplessly, pulled up his hoodie, and chased in the direction Li Ran had gone before.

"Go, Mr. Invulnerability, let everyone in Harlem see how powerful you are."

Watching Luke Cage leave, Dad stood there and murmured quietly to himself.
