American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 59 Cross Arms

As expected, when Levi arrived at a super bar specially opened for superheroes, the locomotive did nothing but drink and complain.

Complain about Walt, complain about Ashley, complain about his heart, complain about the stupid lines the director had given him for his retirement movie.

But he dared not say anything bad about his fellow countrymen.

Just as Maeve had worried before, even at this point, he didn't dare to publicly express any opinions about his fellow countrymen.

God knows if there might be some third-rate superhero here who would run and tell the tale to his countrymen after hearing it. He couldn't afford to take that risk.

Levi couldn't help but laugh when he heard his inner voice. He began to doubt that even if such a cowardly locomotive really joined their side and was determined to fight against their motherland together, how much power could he exert in the end?

Isn't it possible that when his own people were fighting with their compatriots, he could only stand aside and let others know?

Fortunately, Levi had already copied the locomotive's superpowers. Based on his much stronger physique than the locomotive, the maximum speed he could achieve was even faster than the current locomotive.

Even if the locomotive really refused, it would only mean that he failed to gain a high-level errand boy, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

After a few more drinks, the locomotive became more and more indignant: "Fuck, Ashley told me that now I only have two choices."

"Either leave the Seven with dignity and severance pay, or be expelled for violating the regulations on the use of Compound Five."

"Fuck, how dare she? She was just a bitch who served me coffee!"

"A new era for the Seven, the end of the locomotive? What a bullshit line!"

"So, besides using it to heal injuries this time, you've used it more than once before?"

The locomotive then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, but at this point, he no longer cared.

"Yes, but what else can I do?"

"I don't want to be surpassed by others. I don't want to live the poor life I had when I was a child. I want to make more money. I don't want to die miserably after retirement like Mr. Marathon!"

Mr. Marathon was his predecessor, who was also a superhero in speed. Because his body could not bear the effort, he was eventually forced to retire by Walter.

A few months later, he was found with his arms full of needle holes and died miserably under a bridge. This has always made him feel sad and taken it as a warning.

Li Wei did not comment. It sounds nice, but as far as I know, you haven't saved much over the years and you have spent it all on enjoying life.

Even your girlfriend, the Devil's Claw Girl, couldn't get any advantage from you. She even had to sell her body to delay paying the rent.

But now, at this special moment, you suddenly realize that you need to save money? What the hell were you doing before?

But of course he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud, he just joined the locomotive in cursing for a while.

When the train driver had almost vented his anger, he read Levi's mind again and pretended to be hesitant to talk. Then, under the train driver's questioning, he embarrassedly brought up the way of the Tek Knight.

The locomotive suddenly felt as if it had eaten a fly: "Tek Knight? The famous racist?"

Although Knight Tek has not made many racist remarks in public, a lot of information about their family's history can be easily found on the Internet.

Li Wei sighed helplessly: "Yes, I met him by chance and learned that he had a tumor."

"Ordinary doctors don't dare to operate on him, fearing that he would die on the operating table. But if the two of us work together, we might be able to cure his tumor, and you can make a lot of money from him, and even establish a long-term cooperation."

"This way, even if you are no longer a member of the Seven, you won't have to worry about how to live your life in the future."

The locomotive was tempted, but then felt very embarrassed. He knew very well that even if Levi had established a relationship, they would have successfully rescued Knight Tek in the end.

But judging by the way that guy treats black people, he will definitely make things very difficult for me. He will definitely not let me get the money smoothly and comfortably.

However, now that his homelander had made a decision, it was impossible for him to rejoin the Group of Seven, which put him in a dilemma.

Levi also suggested at an opportune moment that if he could establish a relationship with Knight Tek, it would definitely help him get a heart replacement.

The locomotive thought seriously for a while before finally making up its mind.

"Then thank you for your help. No matter what the final result is, Levi, you will always be my Jesse's good brother for life!"

Hearing that the other party also thought so, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best!"

After drinking for a while, the locomotive left first. He should prepare for retirement as soon as possible.

Based on the intelligence currently available to him, Levi easily found a base of the Shining.

But he didn't do it himself, as he had no grudge against these guys.

He simply called Firecracker to bring Kimiko over, and let the latter personally carry out a rather bloody revenge.

There is naturally not much to say about the process. Kimiko is still very good at bullying weak opponents.

It’s just that Kimiko learned martial arts from Flash, and in addition to pursuing lethality, she also tends to show her brutality and bloodiness as much as possible to instill fear in others.

To be honest, Levi doesn't like this move very much.

In comparison, Maeve's martial arts are much more beautiful: swift, elegant, precise, deadly, and definitely not lacking in power.

After Kimiko killed all the enemies, Levi also finished the search and found some new clues and suspicious points.

The Flash does not seem to be a native African force. Instead, it seems to be developed and established by a medium-sized arms company in the United States - Cross, because he discovered some experimental weapons belonging to the other party that have not been officially launched on the market.

Not to mention special organizations like the Flash, even among decent Americans, I'm afraid few people can get these things.

Speaking of which, since the emergence of Water and the superheroes, even the world's number one weapons manufacturer like Lockheed Martin has inevitably been seriously affected, let alone other small and medium-sized companies.

If Water were given dozens or hundreds of years to further perfect Compound No. 5, these arms companies would probably go bankrupt in large numbers.

Under such circumstances, it is completely understandable that Cross Arms wants to try to expand its market overseas.

Among Walt's superheroes, whites make up more than 2%, followed by Latinos, Mexicans, etc. Blacks and Asians combined make up less than %.

Moreover, most of these superheroes are located in the United States. There are basically few superheroes in remote areas such as Africa, so the impact on arms companies is naturally much smaller.

Funding, or even simply establishing an organization like Flash, not only allows them to make a fortune from the war, they can even use the battlefield as a testing ground to obtain key data on various weapons. It can be said that there are many benefits.

Levi suddenly realized that he seemed a little stupid. Even though he had obtained a psychic ability that could be called a BUG, ​​he was thinking more about how to apply it in battle.

In fact, he can completely control one or more such arms companies and let them make money for him!
Money doesn't mean much to him anymore, but it means a lot to ordinary third-tier superheroes or guys like Lokomotiv who are short of money.

He could use the money from the arms company to try to recruit them, or simply invite the superheroes to be his guests with a relatively high reward, and then find the right opportunity to use his psychic powers to copy their superpowers!
