Chapter 168 Spoiler Pepper

Although New York can register marriage at the age of 16.

but……

Locke felt that George would definitely kill him, or that when George wanted to kill him, he was accidentally killed by Locke.

In short.

Locke looked at Gwen with a serious face: "Gwen, your idea is very dangerous."

The idea is too dangerous.

Gwen opened her mouth, looking at Locke with a serious face, a little dazed.

Fortunately.

Dylan and Maggie over there are already up.

"Gwen."

"Maggie, long time no see."

"How about it."

After Locke and Gwen sat down, he looked at Dylan and said, "How is your fire company doing?"

"almost."

"That's good."

Locke nodded. Although he never cared about others not paying back the money he borrowed, it was always a pleasure to see his money being used in the right way.

Gwen looked from the side: "Where is Pepper, I thought Pepper was already here."

Maggie, who was sitting next to Dylan, smiled and said, "It's almost here, I just called her."

In the past, Maggie's natal family also had some money, but it was still a little lower than Pepper's level, but a trip to the Poseidon connected them together.

talking room.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open once, and Pepper, Cindy, and Kahn came in together.

Gwen looked at Cindy who was coming, and was a little curious: "Cindy, did you meet Pepper at the door?"

Cindy and Gwen hugged, and then said to Locke next to him, "Hello, the ladies are going to sit together."

Locke got up and moved to the man's side.

Kahn said, "Remember that patent I sold?"

Locke nodded.

It was because of the patent that Kahn sold that Kahn was able to go to the Poseidon. When the Poseidon capsized, Kahn regretted it all the time.

Kahn said: "The company that acquired my patent was acquired by Stark Industries, and then Stark Industries invited me to join their latest marine laboratory."

Locke froze for a moment: "Stark... Marine Laboratory? Is there this?"

Pepper said: "I didn't have it before, but now I have it, and it will gradually improve in about half a month. Kahn's patent is very helpful to our research. Just right, I didn't expect that patent to be Kahn's."

Cindy said to Gwen: "The person we met in the morning was Pepper, and Kahn and I thought something was wrong."

Gwen was happy for Kahn: "I'm happy for you, Kahn."

Since Stark Industries has come to Kahn directly, it means that Stark Industries values ​​Kahn's patent very much. If this is the case, Kahn can continue to study in his favorite major.

sea...

But it is very broad.

"but……"

Dylan looked at Kahn with a weird expression and said, "A trip to the Poseidon, do you still dare to go to sea?"

Kahn shrugged, "Just don't go on the cruise."

Several people suddenly laughed knowingly.

Even Locke deleted the cruise from any of his future travel plans.

He would rather cross the ocean with a piece of wood than go on a cruise ship again.

Joke room.

The meals ordered by several people were served, talking and laughing.

Dylan drank his own whiskey and looked at Locke intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, this is a formal restaurant.

And Locke is under 21 years old, not yet old enough to drink, not old enough to drink openly.

"correct."

Cindy seemed to think of something, and looked at Gwen: "Gwen, did you ask your father?"

"what?"

"Just what happened yesterday, such a sensational thing, you won't forget it, right?"

"……I forgot."

"what?"

Gwen looked up at Locke, then at Cindy: "I forgot about it."

It was the one who asked about the New York No. [-] TV station, whether that version was true, the version of the Peerless Assassin was true, or the version that Inspector George Stacy refuted the rumors was true.

Cindy patted her forehead: "How could you forget?"

Gwen smiled reluctantly.

She hasn't gone out since Locke left yesterday, and has been in the room with her ears pricked up, eavesdropping on the movement outside, for fear that the two will fight, so she can try to persuade them.

When she got nervous, she naturally forgot about it.

Maggie and Dylan took a look: "Gwen, are you talking about what happened on New York No. [-] TV station yesterday?"

"Ah."

"Maggie, do you think that version is true?"

"Witch."

Pepper also raised her hand: "I agree with Maggie, and I also think that witches are real."

Locke looked at Pepper curiously: "Pepper, do you also believe in witches?"

Pepper said: "Yago, do you remember?"

Gwen nodded: "Of course, there is a big monster there."

There is also the crew on the Yago, which has not been found until now, and there has been no official statement for a long time. However, because the Yago belongs to Paris, it is estimated that only Paris knows the specific news.

Pepper looked around and said in a low voice: "Do you still remember the people from the Homeland Security Agency and the CIA who boarded the ship at that time?"

"Ah."

Gwen glanced at Locke: "The woman from the Homeland Security Agency knows Locke, and the man in the suit. Locke recognized him as a member of the CIA at a glance."

Pepper laughed: "After all, the CIA dresses like in the movie."

Gwen hummed, pricked up her ears together with Cindy and Maggie, and looked at Pepper.

Pepper's level is relatively high, and he must be able to hear and see things that are not seen at their level.

"Actually, the crew of the Yago is not missing."

"what."

"how can that be possible."

"We obviously didn't see anyone."

"We didn't go inside the ship, did we?"

"In the cabin?"

"what do you mean……"

"Ah."

Pepper lowered his voice and said: "I heard that all the crew members of the Yago were actually in the cabin, but they were all killed by that mutated big octopus."

"Gudong!"

Kane swallowed.

Cindy and Gwen looked at each other: "Really?"

Pepper said: "I got the news from Washington."

That's the real deal.

"It's a good thing we didn't go down."

"Yes."

After hearing the news from Pepper, several people couldn't help saying so.

They also planned to go to the cabin to escape the cold wind.

fortunately.

He saw the tentacles in time, and Locke, who led them out, also said that they should not be sent down one by one like the death squad in horror movies, and stay on the deck obediently.

Several people looked at each other.

Pepper picked up the red wine in his hand, smiled and said: "I have a proposal, to our hero, Locke Broughton!"

Dylan booed, "Good proposal."

Locke's brows were jumping straight: "Pepper, I said, I'm not..."

Pepper nodded and said, "I heard about it last time when I went shopping with Maggie, but we didn't tell anyone about it. You are our hero. We respect you."

Locke looked at the clear water in his glass and shook his head: "I hope these four years will pass quickly."

After four years of persistence, he can drink openly.

Not easy.

Locke felt that being 17 years old was good sometimes, but that was not good. Every time he drank secretly, he always felt like he was doing something shameful.

Wine glasses and drink glasses collide.

After Pepper put down the red wine glass, he said again: "However, I know something about what happened last night, but you can't tell others."

Several people nodded.

Cindy, in particular, nodded repeatedly.

Pepper revealed the spoiler to everyone in a low voice: "There is indeed a group of witches."

As secretary to the chairman of Stark Industries, Pepper was naturally one of the few who knew the real world.

"but……"

"Witches rarely deal with us."

"As for the reason, I don't know."

"However, the number of witches is very small. This world is still the world of our ordinary people. Therefore, in order to cause unnecessary panic."

Pepper said like this: "It's good for you to know, don't talk about it everywhere, in fact, it's useless to talk about it, because witches seldom get in touch with people, and New York City probably doesn't have a single witch."

talking room.

A waiter arrives with a drink.

Connor looked at the drink, his eyes lit up: "Mine."

Locke looked at the waiter, and then thought about what Pepper had just said.

witch?

New York City has none.

What was that witch who just walked over doing?
Locke thought so.

After half an hour.

A few people walked out of the restaurant, and Locke's R8, which had been washed clean, was driven back by a parking boy.

Say goodbye, make an appointment for the next time we will meet together, and then each get in the car and leave.

The Poseidon shortened the distance between several people that time.

And the few people also kept this close distance tacitly. From the first meeting just back, to the third meeting today, and a few more times, it is estimated that a habit will be formed.

The car gallops.

Gwen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the news on the phone: "Sure enough, it's exactly what Pepper said."

"Ok?"

"All videos are gone."

"what?"

"On the live broadcast yesterday, the video of Wushuang Assassin turning that scum into a mouse is gone."

"it's common."

S.H.I.E.L.D. has done the first 99 steps, and there is no reason not to do the last step.

Locke agrees with what Pepper said just now.

Witches do exist in this world, but this world is still the world of ordinary people.

Ok.

Ordinary world like mine.

Gwen put down her phone and shook her head: "By the way, the holiday is over. I'm going to continue my internship at Osborne Biotech tomorrow. What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Locke smiled and said, "Chester has something to do with me. I'll go to Chester tomorrow."

To be precise.

It was Locke who was going to find Chester.

because……

There is a witch who is about to start a new life and needs Chester's care.
