Marvel: Unlimited Possession Chapter 40: Change
[Fame +25 from Cornell Stokes]
Sitting in the small room converted from the storage room, Li Ran raised his eyebrows when he saw the content that suddenly appeared on the data panel.
The name Cornell Stokes is a bit unfamiliar, obviously not a very famous person in the American comic world, but the system shows a lot of legend, even more than Luke Kay in the barber shop. The legendary figures given by Qi made Li Ran a little confused for a while.
In short, no matter what, having a reputation is a good thing.
Sitting on the bed, he thought about it for a while, and then Li Ran gave up this apparently futile approach.
The room transformed from the storage room is not very big. After barely putting down a bed, it becomes even more narrow. Simply, Li Ran is not that picky. into dreamland.
The cards in the system gave Li Ran extraordinary power, but it did not give him the ability not to sleep.
Besides, he's not Daredevil, or a superhero like the Punisher who takes criminals as his mission at every turn.
No, sacrifice your sleep time to keep New York City safe.
…
The next day, as a chaotic night in Harlem passed.
The sun is here again, sweeping all evil into the shadows.
Just looking at the passing pedestrians, Harlem doesn't seem to be any different from any part of New York City, assuming, of course, that the visibly broken glass in the Chinese restaurant is ignored. It was solved by Li Ran, but the damage they left in the Chinese restaurant did not disappear so quickly.
Especially the floor-to-ceiling windows with huge holes at the entrance of the store. Speaking of which, they are still Li Ran's masterpieces.
Last night, he kicked the gangster out of the Chinese restaurant with one kick. While showing great strength, he also added a little unnecessary trouble to the Chinese restaurant.
It is also a hassle to replace such a large piece of glass, so the Chinese restaurant did not open in the morning, and they needed to deal with the traces of damage left by several people in the store last night.
And Li Ran also relaxed and came to the barber shop near the Chinese restaurant.
The purpose, of course, is for Luke Cage.
"Hey, Ah Xing, good morning."
"Good morning."
In the barber shop, Father Henry saw Li Ran walking into the shop, and then nodded and greeted him: "How about it, are you still used to working in Connie's shop?"
"It's not bad." If you ignore the part where he made great moves in the second half, just from the performance of the part-time job in the Chinese restaurant, Li Ran thinks that his performance is not bad, with quick hands and feet, Quick response, hard-working without complaining, just like the performance of an excellent employee.
"At least, Mrs. Connie is very satisfied with my performance and has promoted me."
Li Ran didn't lie about this, he did get a promotion.
Last night, he agreed to Mrs. Connie, from a part-time job to an employer of a Chinese restaurant, specializing in protecting the restaurant from the harassment of the nearby gangsters.
"Promotion?"
Somewhat surprised, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ran. Henry looked at his serious expression that didn't look like a lie, and said a little puzzled: "It seems that you are doing really well."
It's just that Li Ran has done a good job to get promoted in just one night.
Henry couldn't help but wonder.
"By the way, why isn't the Chinese restaurant open today?"
After briefly chatting about Li Ran's first day of working in a Chinese restaurant, he was full of questions, and Henry asked immediately.
"Because there were a few gangsters in the Chinese restaurant last night, they smashed a lot of things in the restaurant and needed to be dealt with." Li Ran explained the reason why the Chinese restaurant was not open, but completely ignored it. A large part of it was actually caused by his shot, no, shot.
Li Ran's answer caused Henry in the barbershop and Luke Cage, who was cleaning the windows, to subconsciously stop the movements in their hands.
After a few seconds of silence, Henry shrugged and made a helpless expression to Li Ran: "My child, welcome to the real Harlem."
Even if Dad tries hard to maintain the rules in the barber shop and wants to lead the children in the shop on the right path, he still can't change the fact that Harlem is in chaos.
"Harlem, everyone has a gun, and no one has a father."
At the window, the silent Luke Cage spoke and gave the most accurate description of Harlem.
"If that's the case, why not stand up and change this?"
"Change." Faced with Li Ran's question, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly. He put away the rag in his hand and turned to look at Li Ran behind him: "Do you know about Harlem's past? Chaos and poverty, countless people die on the streets of Harlem every day, and countless wives lose their husbands and children lose their fathers. That's how Chico's father died. That's how Harlem was and isn't. Not much has changed."
"New District Councilor Maria Dillard takes office, but she's the umbrella for the Snakes herself~IndoMTL.com~ It's the Snakes who destroy Chinese restaurants, so Harlem has never changed , will only sink, this is the reality. Change, it is not you who only came to Harlem for one day, and a foreigner who can't even pronounce the name of Harlem will say it casually."
Luke Cage seems to have a lot to say about Harlem but doesn't.
"Although I'm just an outsider in Harlem, I also know that change doesn't happen just by sitting at home and waiting. Those street gangsters use violence to affect Harlem, why can't someone use their own way? If you don't do many things, you will never know the result. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between being a man and a salted fish?"
Luke Cage's expression visibly shakes a little after a bowl of chicken soup.
Standing aside, Father Henry clenched his fist unconsciously, opened his mouth to look at Luke Cage's appearance, but finally chose to remain silent and gave the choice to the other party.
However, he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to his previous taciturn appearance.
"You don't have to tell me so much, I'm just an ordinary cleaner." He shook his head, picked up the bucket at hand, and planned to go inside.
"No, you are not." He reached out and stopped Luke Cage who wanted to leave. Li Ran looked up at the tall figure and said decisively, "I can feel it, you are not an ordinary person. , you are the one who has the power to change this place, to change the fate of Harlem that is constantly sinking in your mouth."
