The Death Knell

"So what do you think, Charles? If it were you who made the decision, would you choose to leave here or explore the cause of your father's death?"

In the cold wind, Su Ming threw his gloves to Charles and asked him what he thought.

Like all precocious children, Charles should have his own ideas, and even as a mutant, he has the ability to realize his ideas.

Charles silently put on his gloves, which looked like two giant bear paws.

Black leather gloves represent ‘not a good person’ in many TV shows, but even if Mr. Wilson cannot see his thoughts, he can still see that there is no discrimination or hostility in his eyes.

"Intellectually, I hope to find out the cause of my father's death. After all, it looks like a murder rather than an accident. He invented the instrument and he has used it thousands of times. 'The accident occurred because of improper operation of the instrument.' , sounds more like an excuse."

"The place where your father works is a confidential unit. Their style has always been secretive. This excuse is very common." Su Ming touched his beard and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Families should know, we have that right, right?"

"That's the truth, but power doesn't make sense."

"So based on the actual situation, my mother and I should follow Uncle Howard's advice and find a place to hide. That is the right thing to do."

Charles didn't argue. He understood and knew in advance that this would happen.

"So, are you a little unwilling? Do you want to hear my opinion?" Su Ming smiled, and he put his hand on Charles's shoulder, like holding a rag doll.

"Then what will you do?" Charles sniffed, his nose was about to flow out.

"First call Uncle Slade. You call Howard uncle, but when you talk to me, you talk to me like you are the same age. I can't be lower than that guy."

Su Ming changed the topic. Although he didn't care about this at all, Charles could not be underestimated. Now he had the opportunity to leave some wrong impressions on him, making him think that Slade was a very competitive person.

Besides, it's always fun to be Professor X's elder.

Charles glanced at him with disgust, and his eyes finally brightened: "Does this make you feel some kind of happiness? Some kind of twisted pleasure?"

"My method is better than Howard's or your mother's. It's up to you whether you want to or not. This is a deal." Su Ming's smile became even bigger. He must cultivate the contractual spirit of his customers from an early age.

"Uncle Slade." Charles didn't hesitate at all. He immediately completed the transaction in a clear childish voice, and then stared at Su Ming.

"Be good~~" Su Ming touched Charles' bald head and said, "If you recognize your uncle, you will never be able to run away in this life: "My solution is that you come to my place and I will help you find out the truth and deal with those who want to cause trouble for you. people."

Just like how he dealt with Ciri and Wild Hunt, Su Ming could use the same method to supervise Charles. As long as anyone reached out to Zhongsi Academy, he would be able to quickly follow the clues and find out the clues.

"Can you do it?" Charles questioned calmly. If a certain force wanted to take action against his family, then others should not be involved.

"Do you know Captain America?"

Su Ming made all kinds of Steve's classic moves when filming commercials, showing his thumbs, showing his big white teeth, and holding up a hot pot like a shield.

Now the streets of New York are full of such advertisements, and the products of Wilson Enterprises are everywhere, penetrating into every aspect of people's lives.

Therefore, it also attracted attacks from some newspapers and mysterious people, saying that Wilson Enterprises used the image of Captain America to make profits. This move was legal, but it lacked respect for the hero and broke many families for various reasons.

They protested against Captain America endorsing stockings and high-end underwear, as well as his endorsing cosmetics and luxury cars, as if they were alive to protest.

For example, the wife of a family wanted to buy a car endorsed by Captain America, but the husband didn’t want to buy it because Captain America smiled too brightly and felt a little green on his head. Eventually, there was a quarrel that led to divorce or something.

Captain America and Wilson Enterprises have been called the culprits in other people's families being torn apart.

But what does it have to do with me if you can’t afford my car? Luxury cars are inherently luxury goods, and it is wrong to expect more than you can afford. Who's to blame if he doesn't look as good as Steve? God didn't give you a handsome face and eight-pack abs, so why do you still blame celebrities for your wife's pursuit of celebrities?

But there is no way. The United States is a country with free speech. These newspapers or the people with ulterior motives behind them can always find some cases to highlight.

In the past, Gin would have picked out these people and silenced them, but now that Wilson Enterprises has the Daily Bugle, it's just a verbal spat. The Daily Bugle has never been afraid of it.

Every editor has been through many battles. They have been sued since the founding of the newspaper. The pile of court summons they received is taller than the Empire State Building.

Su Ming took the opportunity to create a stir and asked Vodka to cooperate with the Daily Bugle. One side would sue for defamation, and the other side would follow up with the media. They would not let go until the person who spoke nonsense was sued until they were left in their pants.

The United States is about freedom of speech, but it is also a country governed by the rule of law. Whoever has a stronger team of lawyers and more money will be justified.

Seeing Su Ming making various advertising gestures, the corner of Charles' mouth twitched. Yes, he knew Captain America, so he didn't need to make gestures.

"I know him and have met him. He is a noble man." Charles quickly interrupted Su Ming's performance.

Su Ming patted Charles on the head and said kindly: "That's good. He is my godson. Even if you can't trust me, you should still trust Captain America's character, right?"

"Really? If you can really cultivate a person like Captain America, your character must be equally noble. I'm sorry for doubting you before."

"Howard can prove the relationship between Captain America and me. Apology is not necessary. You are just a child. How about it, if there is Captain America, will you feel relieved?"

"Well, he defeated Mustache, and he will definitely help me find out the truth and protect my mother." Charles nodded vigorously, and he saw hope.

Su Ming smiled and touched his bald head, looking very kind.

Captain America?

Don’t think about it, learn about Deathstroke’s employment business...

When repaying debts, you can choose from cash, gold jewelry, cosmic energy, internal organs, real estate mortgages, etc., but the favors Charles owes are more valuable.

The older one and the younger one reached a consensus, and there was no psychological pressure at all on deceiving the child Su Ming.

But seeing Howard and Sharon arguing endlessly, Su Ming gradually lost patience. Charles was about to freeze into a popsicle, and both of them were still blushing and steaming.

He took Charles's hand and walked to the tree.

"I talked to the kid, it's time for us to go, come over to my place and I'll find Steve to sort things out."

"Hey, that's okay." Howard immediately relaxed and passed the blame: "Let's go, it's really cold in New York this year. It reminds me of the days when I worked in a car repair shop when I was a kid. It was during the Great Depression... ....”

As he spoke, he pulled Sharon towards the car, not giving her a chance to interrupt.
