[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"But as the mayor, I must be responsible to the residents of the town." Mayor Godlin said, "They will believe that you took the initiative to set up a charity fund for our dilapidated town just to better market your identity as Iron Man, so stupid explain?"

"certainly--"

"Or you should explain it to our townspeople yourself."

Mayor Gao Delin looked at the time: "If you have no other arrangements, I will hold a meeting of town residents at two o'clock in the afternoon this weekend in the auditorium of the town's high school, and let you speak on stage, and the town residents will vote to decide whether to accept You and your charitable foundation."

"Your place also—"

"We're so close to Mexico that any big decision has to be voted on by the townspeople, lest disputes lead to disaster."

After speaking, the mayor asked the female secretary to send the guests away.

The female secretary walked up to Iron Man helplessly: "Mr. Stark, don't make things difficult for me."

"Madam's request, how can I have the heart to refuse?"

Tony smiled and walked out of the mayor's office with the female secretary, hugged the female secretary at the gate, and said to her in an affectionate and distressed tone: "Malina, can you help me..."

"Of course, I will do everything I can to help you convince the mayor and those stubborn townspeople."

Marina, who was dazzled by love, promised without hesitation, and Tony Stark, who got the promise, showed a satisfied smile.

Then--

After only 5 minutes, he was mercilessly mocked by Damian who was watching him from the big tree opposite the office.

"Is this what adults do? Oh, Marina, can you help me get rid of them?"

Damian squeezed his throat to imitate the voices of Stark and the female secretary: "Of course, I love you more than my husband and son, and I am willing to do everything for you—"

"Are you spying on us?"

Tony looked at the big boy who was so angry.

Damian: "I like the feeling of being in control."

"Because your dad is a control freak like Batman?"

"My dad isn't—"

"I don't hate being watched, but I hate being spied on, please keep that in mind, even though I love kids."

"What! You like children! You are a pervert who likes children!"

Damian exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Because of the unpleasant contact with the interstellar laboratory, he is still full of displeasure with Tony, a bastard who never forgets to show his peacock image, and he will lose a few words when he gets the chance.

Tony also knows that Damian is trying to target him because of his genius's self-esteem injury. As long as Damian's behavior has not completely stepped on the line, he will tolerate it as much as possible.

but now--

Damian stepped on the bottom line.

Iron Man decisively mentioned the bear child: "Shut up! If you call again, I will contact your father! Let him take you back!"

"Stark! What did you say?"

Damian was shocked.

"I said, if you talk nonsense again, I'll complain to your father!"

Speaking of this, Iron Man glanced at the starfish on Damian's shoulder: "I believe that Can Luo will testify for me."

"Can Luo—"

Damian turned to look at Hai Xing: "Will you sue Dad?"

"Can Luo is Dad's favorite Robin, and Can Luo will not lie to Dad—"

"I'm Robin!"

Damian emphasized angrily.

Can Luo: "After you are dismissed by Dad as a Robin because of being too bear, Can Luo will become Dad's favorite Robin."

Damian: "..."

He thought about it carefully, and said to Iron Man: "You won. From now on, I will try my best to be a good boy."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

……

"Charlene, who are they?"

Seeing his granddaughter bring a man and a woman into the house, Old Pete, who had injured his spine a few days ago and can only lie on the sofa and watch TV, immediately became alert: "Is that your friend?"

"It's our new tenants..." Charlene said, "They want to stay at our house for a few days."

"Why?" asked old Pete.

The town is adjacent to Mexico, and there are often bastards engaged in border smuggling who live temporarily in the town, so the townspeople are very xenophobic and wary of every stranger who comes to the town.

"No reason, just—"

"Charlene, the milk in your mother's room has been drunk, you can bring some to her."

The old man was worried that his granddaughter would be cheated, so he deliberately pushed Charlene away.

"OK--"

Charlene put the Tamamo front fox on the coffee table and went into the kitchen to prepare warm milk for her mother.

The old man took the opportunity to stare and asked Matthew and Harley: "Are you two planning to go to Mexico for business?"

Life experience told him that the handsome and beautiful couple in front of him were not serious people, especially the flirtatious woman who dyed her hair colorful, not only wore fishnet stockings but also showed her belly button on purpose.

"We, of course we—"

Matthew tried to explain why.

But the old man interrupted impatiently: "I don't care what you are here for! I just want to tell you that strangers with malicious intentions are not welcome in our family! Also, we must share part of the money you earn! Otherwise, I will call the security team to report you now!"

"Hey! Why are you more of an asshole than me!"

When Harry heard this, the boss put his hips on his hips and questioned Old Pete, spitting out a big bubble of chewing gum: "Don't think that you are an old man and paralyzed, so I dare not hit you!"

"Harry!"

Seeing this, Matthew hurriedly stopped Harley, then walked up to the old man, knelt down on one knee, and put his hands on the old man's knee: "Peter, look into my eyes—"

"why?"

Hearing this, Old Pete remained vigilant, but his eyes were uncontrollably attracted to Matthew, and he looked at him without blinking: "You...I...you..."

"I'm Matthew Fast Constantine. I'm your best friend. You fell in love with me right away. You trust me and my partner Harley very much..."

Accompanied by the dreamlike murmur, Old Pete's eyes gradually became trance-like, and he repeated in his mouth: "You are Matthew Fast Constantine, you are my best friend who has made friends with Wangnian, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I trust you very much Trust your companion Harley too..."

"Yes, that's it. You have absolute trust in us, and you will use your reputation to guarantee us when the townspeople question it..."

"I absolutely trust Matthew and Harley, and I will vouch for them with my reputation when the townspeople question them..."

After saying this, Old Pete's eyes regained light again, and he looked at Matthew with enthusiasm: "Oh my God, Matthew! Are you an angel sent by God to save me! I've never been like this before—just with You feel like you're in heaven just talking! From now on, you're my best friend! I'm popping champagne to celebrate your arrival!"

"Old Pete, you have injured your spine now, you should pay attention to rest."

Matthew said intimately to Old Pete, who was hinted at by the hallucination.

Hearing this, Old Pete became even more convinced that Matthew was his best friend, and looked at Harley with friendly eyes, although he still felt that her dress was too coquettish and fashionable.

Seeing this, Harley pulled out her windbreaker cooperatively, put down her colorful ponytail hair, and transformed herself into an intellectual beauty that the old man liked.

By the time Charlene finished feeding her mother who had been in a coma for 20 years and went downstairs, the three of them were already sitting on the sofa in the living room talking happily, eating potato chips and drinking beer together.

Seeing this, Charlene rushed over and snatched the beer from Old Pete's hand: "The doctor said, you can't drink now!"

"Is beer alcohol? I only drink tequila every day when I'm not hurt!"

Unconvinced, the old man grabbed a large handful of potato chips and threw them into his mouth, chewing them with a crackling sound.

Charlene: "Alcohol is wine!"

"All right!"

Old Pete couldn't hold back Charlene, so he had to accept the "control" that he couldn't even drink beer, lying on the sofa and watching reality shows.

Charlene went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the guests and cook some pet food along the way.

Matthew wanted to get information about Mengxuan from Charlene, so he followed up in the kitchen and talked to him while washing the vegetables: "Charlene, is your mother sick?"

"Well, she has been ill for many years."

"Why not send it to a hospital in a big city—"

"It's useless. Her illness cannot be cured by normal methods."

Charlene smiled wryly, took out a row of eggs from the refrigerator, and put them into the egg cooker: "How about eating egg and vegetable salad at night?"

"It's just what I like."

Matthew smiled and continued to ask: "What's wrong with your mother?"

"you--"

Charlene looked up and looked at Matthew with some displeasure.

After all, he was asking such a personal question as a newcomer to town.

Matthew explained: "I am a magician, and I have many magician friends. Maybe I can cure your mother through magic, since you firmly believe that doctors can't cure your mother's illness."

"Magician? How do you prove it?" Charlene asked doubtfully.

Matthew: "Do normal people raise foxes that speak human language?"

"It seems... But that doesn't mean you're a magician! I know that there are superheroes living in big cities like New York, Chicago, and the Metropolis. Most of them have special abilities, and there are many superheroes who can turn into animals. .”

Charlene analyzed rationally.

As a daughter, she dreams that her mother can wake up from the 20-year dream. For this, she can sell her soul to the devil.

But as a rational girl living in a border town with poor public security, she deeply realizes that neither demons nor angels are real, and the same goes for magicians.

"You have to come up with stronger evidence to prove that you are a magician..." Charlene said, "For example, turning into a bird on the spot, or turning the ordinary beef in my hand into snowflake beef."

"You want snowflake beef?" Matthew asked.

Charlene nodded embarrassedly: "I saw on TV that rich people like to eat this kind of beef. It must be delicious."

"All right……"

Matthew smiled slightly, took the ordinary beef in Charlene's hand, turned around, muttered something deliberately, and actually secretly opened the channel of the dimensional space——

"Now, it's a snowflake beef."

Matthew, who used the dimensional space to directly enter the wagyu slaughterhouse to cut the freshest snowflake beef, handed the beef to Charlene.

"This……"

Charlene took the snowflake beef that was still warm, and was stunned: "You are really a magician! You are really a magician! Then Yuzaoqian, isn't it—"

"Congratulations, finally realized that I am a fox! Not a puppy!"

Taking advantage of old Pete's carelessness, Yuzao, who had transformed into an oriental beauty, leaned against the kitchen door frame, and looked at Matthew and Charlene lazily: "Call me Yuzao's former sister—"

"Wow!"

Charlene was dumbfounded again.

Yu Zaoqian took the opportunity to step forward and took the snowflake beef in her hand, put it in her mouth, and said with emotion while eating: "As expected, fresh-cut beef is more delicious."

"Tamamo-mae!"

Matthew was a little unhappy: "This piece of beef is our dinner!"

"But I've bitten—"

Yuzao looked at Charlene pretending to be pitiful: "Or I can get you a bigger and fresher piece of beef to compensate you."

After speaking, the fox fled away.

Charlene came back to her senses and stared at Matthew with wide eyes: "So you are really a magician? Is it true that Yuzao is not a puppy?"

"Yes, I'm a magician, and Yuzao is a vixen from the east..." Matthew said, "Harry is a citizen of Gotham."

"Citizens of Gotham? No wonder she dresses so strangely and arrogantly."

Charlene suddenly realized.

Afterwards, Matthew continued to ask: "Can you tell me about your mother's situation in detail now?"

"This one……"

Charlene was a little hesitant.

finally--

"Okay, I'll tell you what I know, but you have to swear that you can't tell anyone else what I told you! And don't laugh at me! Even if what I say sounds absurd and untrue!"

Charlene spoke with difficulty.

Matthew agreed without hesitation.

Charlene then prepared corn pies while explaining her mother's strange illness.

"My mother's name is Catherine. Twenty years ago, she was the most popular girl in the town. She was elected as the queen of high school dancing for three consecutive years. She. Of course, she rejected them all. She likes a good heart more than a fancy confession.

The day before the accident was a carnival in the town. As the most popular girl in the town, it was impossible for her mother to be absent. Everyone sang and danced together. It was not until dawn that my mother returned home, fell on the bed, and then Never woke up again! "

"why?"

"I don't know..." Charlene said, "During the 20 years she was in a coma, my grandfather searched all the doctors he could find to cure her, but my mother still couldn't wake up, and the doctors couldn't diagnose her. What kind of disease did you have?"

"Then her physiology—"

"This is the strangest part of the whole thing..." Charlene smoothed her hair in frustration, "It is reasonable to say that my mother has been in a coma for so many years, and her body will inevitably suffer from atrophy of organs and muscles, but her state has always been It's normal, it looks like she's just asleep. People in the town mention her and say that's probably what happened to Sleeping Beauty."

"That does sound unusual."

"It doesn't matter what the outsiders say. After so many years, our family has long been desperate. Although we will invite a doctor to come over to see her, but for her waking up..."

Charlene put down the blender with a wry smile: "In short, if you can wake her up, our whole family will be very touched."

"I try my best..."

Matthew smiled and promised, then asked a very offensive question: "Are you adopted?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Your mother fell into a coma for unknown reasons 20 years ago, and you seem to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. You are not adopted. Could it be—"

"That's right! I'm not adopted! I'm a child born to my mother in a coma!"

Charlene was very emotional.

She put the mixed corn pie ingredients and the glass bowl on the table viciously, turned around, and said to Matthew: "For this reason, I still don't know who my father is! It must be someone who came to our house A beast that treats the mother!"

"Have you ever considered—"

"No……"

Charlene said firmly: "He is a bastard, and I will not be the daughter of a bastard! I will stay here forever, living with my grandfather and mother!"

"Charlene..."

Matthew looked at the girl sadly.

She is only 16 years old, but she has already shouldered the burden of the whole family.

"If I could, I would like to..."

"unnecessary……"

Charlene interrupted Matthew and announced forcefully: "I can support my family!"

"but--"

"You think girls are weak people who must be protected?"

"I……"

"Since you don't think so, don't say nonsense in front of me that you want to help me!"

After saying this, Charlene slowed down again, and said to Matthew: "Although I rejected you, I am actually very touched in my heart. Thank you for saying so much about me to a girl I just met today. Thank you..."

"Charlene..."

Seeing the girl's sincere and stubborn appearance, and thinking of their "conspiracy" with Sailor Paradise, Matthew couldn't bear it.

He then asked the girl, "Charlene, can I be your good friend?"

"You want to be—"

"Don't worry, my feelings for you are pure friendship, I won't like you. I already have a partner, and he is a very good man."

"Really?"

When Charlene heard this, she felt a little fortunate, a little regretful, and a little surprised: "You shouldn't settle down at such a young age, even though he is really outstanding."

"I'm only worried that if I miss him, I won't meet someone who suits me again."

"All right……"

Because of Matthew's promise, coupled with a little hypnotic suggestion, Charlene's trust in Matthew increased with time.

She began to take the initiative to share childhood fun with Matthew, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

……

Tony and Damian reached a temporary settlement and planned to stay in the only hotel in the town for one night. When they walked to the hotel, they found that there were cars parked in front of the hotel.

And most of them are expensive luxury cars.

The people who get off the car also have different temperaments. Some are dressed like code farmers that can be seen everywhere in Silicon Valley, some are wearing floral shirts showing arms full of tattoos, and some are wearing black trench coats and black sunglasses, as if they just came out of the "Matrix" set...

"How is this going?"

Tony stopped and asked Damian.

Damian: "Should this kind of question be asked to a minor?!"

"You are not an ordinary kid. Your grandfather is Ray Xiaogu." Tony Stark said emphatically. Tan grew up with you, these people—"

"It's also a monster."

Damian said with a straight face: "I can smell a strong smell of blood on their bodies. These people are all killers, and each of them has at least five lives in their hands."

"Lei Xiaogu's men?"

"Grandpa trains assassins, they are killers, haven't you heard the phrase urban serial killer?"

Damian looked at Tony with a displeased expression: "Assassins and serial killers are different. Assassins kill because of their job and task, while serial killers kill for the joy that they cannot get in daily life."

"Then you killed—"

"I'm not killing people anymore!"

Damian emphasized: "I am Batman's son!"

"All right……"

Tony shrugged speechlessly, and asked again: "Why do so many serial killers suddenly appear near a hotel in a border town?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a party."

Damian said nonchalantly: "I heard that there is a website in the circle of serial killers that only serial killers can access. These people hold an offline meeting every five years to exchange killing experience and get the affirmation of other serial killers.

Of course, they also occasionally bring a few delusional serial killer admirers to parties.These unlucky guys usually become the appetizers and meals of the killer's offline communication meeting. "

"Uh..." Tony felt a nausea: "Sure enough, it's something that serial killers would like."

"However, these people are not all antisocial. At least, they will not create a series of tragedies in the place where the party is held, attracting the attention of the local security team or the FBI."

While speaking, Damian walked up to a fat man who looked like an ordinary homeboy, and patted him on the shoulder: "Shanxia, ​​long time no see."

"D...D...Damian!"

The fat man showed a terrified expression: "Why are you here? It's not that you don't participate—"

"I happened to pass by." Damian said carelessly, "Don't worry, as long as you don't disturb me, I will definitely not spoil your party!"

"really?"

"After all, you have no criminal record here."

After finishing speaking, Damian returned to Tony Stark, and introduced: "Yamashita, Japanese, Hawaiian, ashes-level beautiful girl figure collector, it is said that he once made the girl he likes into a figure. It's a pity that the police No evidence has been found so far, so he is not guilty legally."

"But he attended an offline killing party—"

"You can't be considered a criminal without evidence, not to mention that he hasn't committed another crime in recent years..." Damian said, "He has been in a mental hospital for five consecutive years in order to cure his murderous impulse."

"Well, in theory, a psychopath doesn't need to go to jail for killing people."

Tony said helplessly, walked into the small hotel with Damian and Can Luo, and asked for the best room here.

Then--

He received a magical communication from Strange.

"Stark, is Matthew on your side?"

"how do you know?"

"My dinner was just stolen by someone! Magic was used! Then I did tracking magic and found that the thief had the breath of Matthew! And that guy is near you!"

Strange became more and more angry as he spoke, and he yelled at Tony: "I've saved enough money for half a year to prepare a delicious meal to enjoy! This bastard! You actually stole it all! I'm coming to your side to beat him right now !"
