American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 49 Anne's Regret

With the little cricket's reluctant eyes, Levi left Geda and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

At the hospital entrance, there was still a large group of fans waiting to take photos. After dealing with them, a medical staff member arranged by Firecrackers in advance quietly handed a box of milk and a fruit basket to Levi. That was the gift he was going to give to the locomotive next.

Although Firecracker still couldn't understand, since Levi insisted on doing this, she would definitely make arrangements.

Levi smiled and nodded to the other party to express his gratitude. After all, it was he who was responsible for the locomotive's current state.

The other party now regards him as a friend, so what's the big deal about spending a few dozen dollars to buy a gift?
Besides, do you know what a sense of ritual is? How can you visit a patient in the hospital without bringing milk?
He found the locomotive's ward with familiarity, and Locomotive immediately congratulated Levi with a smile, wishing him success in becoming one of the Seven.

Levi chuckled: "Did Mr. Edgar tell you?"

Compared to Kate, who has a weak constitution, he is obviously much stronger as he possesses many superpowers and has a very strong physique.

This means that once he possesses it, he can almost immediately and perfectly control a series of superpowers except for the fantasy space.

He can also turn these abilities on or off very freely and smoothly, and can arbitrarily specify one or more targets within a certain range.

For example, now, with the use of telepathy, the locomotive's thoughts and feelings were revealed to him without reservation.

Even though the locomotive is a first-tier super hero, it has no resistance at all in this regard.

This also means that as long as Levi wants, he can communicate very friendly with almost anyone, and even the other party will mistakenly think that they are like-minded people.

"Yes, Mr. Edgar personally held a meeting with Homelander, Queen Maeve, Starlight, and Black, to inform them in advance."

It would be fine for others, but as the captain of the Seven, Edgar has to give some face to his fellow countrymen.

"Didn't you go to the deep sea?"

As he spoke, Levi sat down in front of the locomotive's bed and began to treat him using his superpowers as usual.

After these days of treatment, he has successfully obtained the other abilities of the opponent. As long as he can obtain the opponent's super speed, his overall strength will increase dramatically!
The locomotive snorted with disdain: "That guy went to an aquarium to steal marine animals again, saying he wanted to fight for their freedom, but he was arrested on the spot by a large number of media."

"This is the fourth time this month. This idiot was obviously set up by someone else. Mr. Edgar was very dissatisfied with him and drove him to New York Harbor yesterday night, saying that he wanted him to calm down there."

Among the Seven, the one he looked down upon the most was Shen Hai. It had nothing to do with strength or weakness. He simply thought that the other party's existence lowered the overall IQ of the Seven. He even doubted how the other party graduated from Ge University in the first place!

"Haha, I have always suspected that Shen Hai's IQ is defective, and I even suspected that he cheated when he graduated."

To be honest, according to Levi's recent investigation, Shen Hai's character is actually very good among superheroes.

He has very little ordinary human blood on his hands, and he's really trying to save marine animals.

The direction and method of his efforts were not right, which resulted in almost all the marine animals he tried to rescue dying miserably in the end.

After that, he likes to play some private games with the octopus, but that is a personal hobby and there is nothing moral or immoral about it.

The locomotive suddenly perked up, feeling that he had found a true soulmate: "That's right, I heard that he ranked sixth when he graduated. This is simply a discredit to us seven people!"

Among the seven, Homelander is a special case chosen by Watt, Black is an old man who has to pay for his blood debt with blood, and Starlight debuted through a talent show. None of them studied at Gordala University, so naturally there is no ranking for them.

But Queen Maeve and he were both first that year, the Invisible Man was second, and even Levi, who was about to become one of the Seven, was first that year. Only the idiot Deep Sea was sixth!

Just like that, as they continued chatting, time passed quickly, and suddenly, Levi felt a slight shock all over his body.

Finally, he successfully copied the locomotive's super speed. Almost at that moment, he felt as if his body had become countless times lighter.

Even though his body and mind had been affected to varying degrees after copying superpowers before, this was the first time it was so strong that he couldn't fully control it!
The locomotive that had been chatting with him noticed this immediately, and he quickly asked with concern: "Levi, are you okay?"

Levi rubbed his brows and pretended to be a little tired: "It's okay, it's just that the energy is exhausted. It seems that today's treatment will end here."

He had used the same excuse in the previous few days, but in reality the energy he consumed was less than 0.01% of his total energy.

The locomotive suddenly felt very embarrassed: "Thank you for your hard work these days. I think you don't need to come tomorrow. I will be able to fully recover in three or four days."

Levi heard what the locomotive was thinking, and he did think so. At the same time, he didn't want to owe Levi a favor, and he was very embarrassed to waste Levi's time. After all, the selection of the Seven had already begun, and even if Levi was selected, he still had a lot of things to do.

Levi couldn't help but chuckle and nodded: "If that's the case, then I won't come tomorrow. In order to join the Seven with a legitimate reason, I still need to make a lot of efforts."

Through the contact over the past few days, although the locomotive is still the guy who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, Levi feels that he does have the potential to become a good friend with him.

The premise is that Levi cannot confront the Homelanders head-on, otherwise, under the tyranny of the Homelanders in the past, the locomotive will probably surrender in seconds.

The locomotive heaved a sigh of relief: "Haha, okay, then I'll wait for you in Water!"

After leaving the hospital, Levi resisted the urge and did not test his current speed.

This is downtown New York. Even if we don't consider the cameras, Homelander or Maeve might be hanging out or having fun somewhere. It wouldn't be a good thing if we ran into them.

Levi was still thinking about when to officially turn against his country and use this super speed as a surprise to his fellow countrymen.

The hospital was not far from Water's headquarters, so he turned around and called Starlight. Since she wanted to talk, then let's talk.

After meeting in the coffee shop, Xingguang was obviously very nervous this time, but there was no way to avoid this matter. After saying a few nonsense words, she still asked with gritted teeth.

"Um, Levi, is Firecracker your new assistant?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Yes, although she is not very famous among the superheroes, she is very hardworking, serious, and motivated. She has really helped me a lot recently."

This was the truth that came from his heart. Apart from the poor combat effectiveness, there was nothing to complain about the firecrackers in other aspects.

After gritting his teeth again, Xingguang risked his life: "Actually, I know her. We had some things happen in the past."

Without waiting for Levi to respond, Xingguang told him everything about how she had slandered firecrackers.

Apart from a few personal emotions, she did not omit any truth, and then she hurriedly apologized, saying that it was just her naivety and stupidity at the time, and that it was her mother who instructed her to do so, and it was not her intention.

Despite this, Levi's expression visibly darkened.

He stretched out his hand to stop the other party from speaking, and said in a very serious tone: "Annie, maybe you were instructed by someone at the beginning, and maybe you regretted it afterwards, but the consequences you caused to the firecrackers are the pain that she will never forget in her life."

"If it hadn't been for that incident, with Firecracker's learning ability and ambition, she would never have gotten to where she is now."

Xingguang suddenly became anxious: "Levi, I..."

Li Wei didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "Besides, have you ever apologized to her from beginning to end? Even just a text message?"

Xingguang lost her composure for a moment, and then a string of tears flowed down her cheeks and fell on the table with a "pat", "pat".

She just kept repeating one sentence: "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Even though she and Levi had changed into regular clothes and put on some disguises, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to discover their true identities unless they got close, but she cried so pitifully that she still attracted the attention of many people around her.

There is never a shortage of people who like to join in the fun or meddle in other people's business in America, and their enthusiasm is usually even higher when beautiful women are involved.

Levi saw that it was almost time, and in order to avoid causing any commotion, he sighed and wiped her clean with a tissue.

"The one you should really apologize to is not me, but Firecracker. You should seek her forgiveness."

"But before that, I think we all need some time, okay?"

As soon as he saw Levi's expression, he knew that this matter was non-negotiable as he thought he was very familiar with his starlight.

And this was indeed her mistake, and she needs to pay the price for it, even if it is many years late.

Sniffing, Xingguang managed to stop her tears and nodded vigorously: "I understand, Levi, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to win her understanding and forgiveness, I will definitely try to be a real superhero!"
