Marvel: Unlimited Possession Chapter 26: Jessica Jones
The violent knock on the door made Li Ran in the antique shop subconsciously frown.
He turns his head, and the first thing he smells is a pungent smell of alcohol.
"You are the owner of this store?"
Immediately afterwards, I saw a woman wearing a hoodie with messy hair, carrying a wine bottle, and staggered in.
"It's me, yes."
Li Ran looked up and down at the woman in front of her. The other party looked thin, but her brows were always frowning, as if she was irritable.
"Let me see how much this thing is worth."
Having said that, the woman took out a ring from the pocket of her clothes and threw it on the table in front of Li Ran. Then she raised the bottle nonchalantly and took a sip, acting like a drunk.
Li Ran raised his eyebrows and picked up the ring that had jumped up in front of him. He glanced left and right, then looked up at the drunken man opposite, and then replied, "Up to 100."
Dangdang——
"One hundred, hiccup~"
After a big burp, the woman heard the price given by Li Ran, and immediately put down the wine bottle in her hand in dissatisfaction. The bottom of the bottle collided with the table top making a loud noise, and the woman immediately stretched out her hand. Pulling Li Ran across from him to his face, he asked with a drunken face, "You guys, do you want to take advantage of me and deceive me when you see me drunk!"
Li Ran turned his head, avoiding the pungent odor in front of him, moved his body and struggled for a while, but found that the woman's strength was unexpectedly huge, and he couldn't get rid of it easily. This made him stare, and he began to face the sudden guest in front of him.
"The condition of this ring is not good, and there are obvious scratches on it. One hundred is the most reasonable price I can give."
Although he was surprised at the strength of the woman, which was different from the thin appearance, Li Ran didn't show too much panic, but calmly gave the result of his appraisal.
"If you think the price is unsatisfactory, you can look elsewhere, but I don't think it will make much difference."
The woman opened her drunken eyes and looked at Li Ran silently, then she pouted and released her hand with an expression of impatience. While scratching her messy hair, she continued to pour Wine said: "F****K, well, one hundred to one hundred, that **** guy, dare to use this kind of thing to deceive me, don't let me meet him again!"
After cursing for a while, the woman took the banknote that Li Ran handed over and put it into her pocket.
Immediately after, she looked at the arrangement of the antique shop with her drunken eyes. When she walked in, she just saw the shops on the side of the road that were pleasing to the eye, and didn't think much about it. , There are actually quite a lot of things in this antique store.
Although, most of them are fakes.
Because of the keenness of a private detective, the woman saw at a glance that most of the items in the store were just so-called fake goods.
Her eyes swept around the antique store, and the woman quickly lost interest. She touched the one she just got in her pocket, which was also the only one hundred dollars left on her body, and turned to look again. Li Ran in the store hesitated for a while before saying, "Boss, are you interested in cooperating with me?"
"Cooperation?" Li Ran raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
"That's right." After drinking the last sip from the bottle, the woman threw the bottle in her hand: "My name is Jessica Jones, and I'm a private detective based in Hell's Kitchen. , his usual job is to resolve some disputes between men and women, such as whose wife cheated or whose husband has a lover outside..."
Jessica Jones, a private detective, and the extraordinary strength she just showed on herself, Li Ran finally remembered the identity of the other party when she heard the woman's name.
A member of the Future Defenders, a female superhero with a tragic past.
Of course, none of this is important. The most important thing is that for Li Ran, the appearance of Jessica Jones undoubtedly represents a new goal of gaining fame.
Moreover, it is the kind that is delivered to your door by yourself.
"...It seems that I have talked a little too much." After babbling for a while, Jessica Jones seemed to realize that under the influence of alcohol, she became a little too nagging, and she rubbed it. After rubbing his slightly swollen forehead, he immediately continued: "Actually, my purpose is very simple. If there is another reward like a ring in the future, boss, you can help me convert it into banknotes like today."
Because of her own experience and personality, Jessica Jones's work as a private detective is not smooth, and she occasionally receives a job because of excessive performance, which makes her final salary discounted.
"If you can bring the things, I have no problem at all."
Considering Jessica's identity and the fame she can bring to him in the future, Li Ran has absolutely no possibility of rejecting it.
"Then it's settled, boss!" After successfully determining a way to exchange money, Jessica Jones' frowning brows stretched a little, and she reached out to shake Li Ran, and then hit again. With a wine burp, he took a plate from the shelf of the antique store, glanced back and forth, and said, "This thing is good, I will take it away, and treat it as a symbol of our happy cooperation."
"This plate is not cheap..."
Seeing that Jessica Jones took the things from her store in such a grand manner~IndoMTL.com~ Li Ran subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but saw that the other party ran out of the door without looking back. go.
"...It cost me a full dollar."
Looking at the back of Jessica Jones leaving in a hurry, Li Ran silently said the second half of his words.
As I said earlier, most of the items in Li Ran's antique store, no, 99%, are all wholesale goods from Chinatown, including Jessica Jones. The plate in his hand.
…
Takes his gaze away from Jessica Jones' back.
Although the identity of the other party has been recognized, it is known that in the future, he will incarnate as a poor version of the Avengers - one of the members of the Defender Alliance.
But Li Ran didn't expect to get fame from Jessica Jones as soon as they met.
There are many ways to gain fame, the easiest of which is naturally to directly play a game like the previous Hulk battle. Although Jessica Jones' superpower is good, there is still a big gap between the comparison and the Hulk. Therefore, if Li Ran makes up his mind, he will obviously be able to gain a lot of popularity from her.
However, at first, this reckless approach obviously did not conform to Li Ran's plan.
Secondly, he is very satisfied with his current identity as the owner of the antique shop, and does not want to expose it so quickly.
So, shaking his head, Li Ran turned to pick up the empty wine bottle Jessica Jones had thrown in the store and was about to dispose of it.
Just heard a jingle.
As the doorbell rang, a man in a purple suit walked in.
