Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 11 Hope and the Hulk

Although, it's nice to do good things once in a while.

However, seeing a middle-aged man in an antique shop again, Li Ran's mood is somewhat delicate at the moment.

not to mention.

"Boss, this gem?"

Inside the store, the middle-aged man looked cautious. He scanned the layout of the store, and subconsciously paused when he saw the familiar jade bracelet on the pile of groceries behind Li Ran.

"The finished product of the sapphire is not bad, and the cut is considered translucent. The color is between the third and fourth grades, a bit blue. Although it is a little smaller, it is still a good boutique gem." Li Ran looked at the familiar gemstone in his hand. , feeling a little speechless in his heart, he didn't expect that after going around in such a circle, the gemstone he gave would return to his hand.

"In terms of price, the price of gemstones has dropped a bit recently, but it is basically stable. And this sapphire is close to three carats. If converted into a price, it should be between [-] and [-]. Of course, this is only my preliminary estimate. , if you want a more accurate price, you need to analyze it carefully again with an instrument."

Although he knew the gemstone in his hand very well, Li Ran still pretended to look around, and then put on a professional attitude and said to the man in front of him.

"Many, how much?!"

Although he already knew the preciousness of the gemstone, but after learning its actual value from Li Ran, the man was still a little strict to hide his inner excitement.

[Fame degree from New York citizens +0.5]

Bowing his head and scanning the content on the data panel, Li Ran continued to reply calmly: "Floating between [-] and [-]."

"Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand is so much..."

Standing in the antique shop, he muttered for a long time with a half-crying and half-smiling expression.

Only then did the man suppress his complicated emotions, his eyes gleamed brightly: "Boss, if possible, I would like to exchange this sapphire for cash."

As he said that, the man's gaze subconsciously swept across the bracelet on the pile of groceries: "And..."

"Well, is it different?"

In the laundry shop, Old Jack looked at the familiar figure coming out of the antique shop, but his face showed a bit of doubt.

"Why is it different?"

Li Ran walked out of the antique shop, listening to Old Jack's self-talk, he couldn't help asking.

"The man's appearance seems to have changed a little bit compared to before, as if he has found hope again."

Old Jack tilted his head and said with some uncertainty.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"Indeed." Old Jack nodded, but noticed that Li Ran was about to close the shop.

"Why did the store close so early today?"

"Because I have an important appointment waiting for me to attend." Li Ran smiled slightly, and flipped the signboard at the door of the store to the closed side.

"Haha, is that so, another girl fell into the charm of our James." Old Jack laughed and said jokingly. .

"A nice girl."

Jennifer's beautiful golden hair flashed in his mind, and Li Ran accepted Old Jack's teasing frankly.

"Really, then I wish you a smooth date, James."

"Thank you."

Li Ran nodded slightly, accepting the blessing from Old Jack.

"It's nice to be young."

In the laundry shop, Old Jack watched Li Ran's leaving back, whispered something in his mouth, and then turned his eyes back to the newspaper in his hand.

However, the full-page entertainment section on the other side of the newspaper in Old Jack's hand was reporting about the Victoria's Secret grand party held by the famous New York City playboy Tony Stark last night.

……

"Thank you, James!"

After coming out of the movie theater holding Li Ran's hand, Jennifer leaned on his shoulder with a happy face.

"Hey Jennifer, you don't need to say thank you to me."

Shaking his head, Li Ran stretched out his hand to stroke the girl's smooth blond hair, and replied in a gentle tone: "It is my honor to spend a wonderful night with such a beautiful girl in front of me."

"James." Although Li Ran's lines were old-fashioned, they still deeply moved the girl Jennifer.

She looked at the man in front of her with blurred eyes.

Rumbling--

However, at this moment, there was a huge explosion and screams.

He just turned the originally warm scene in front of him into a disaster movie.

"what happened?"

Protecting Jennifer in his arms, Li Ran looked at the panicked crowd around him with a puzzled expression.

Are aliens attacking New York?
It shouldn't be, Tony hasn't turned into Iron Man yet, and Captain America is still frozen in Antarctica, the time is completely wrong.

However, it didn't make Li Ran puzzled for too long.

With a loud noise, a big hole was smashed into the high wall of the cinema, and a huge dark green figure appeared in front of his eyes.

"I said, it turned out to be Hulk."

With its huge size, green skin, and the iconic underpants, Li Ran recognized the opponent's identity at a glance - a member of the future Avengers, Hulk the Hulk.

Li Ran nodded in amazement at first, and then immediately realized that now is not the time to think about this.

The Hulk in this period is far less talkative than the Avengers in the future, because the endless pursuit of the US military makes the anger in his heart grow all the time, if Banner, who is hidden in the Hulk, has been working hard Escaping with restraint, New York has long been turned into a wreck in the Hulk's anger.

Li Ran looked at the movie theater wall where the Hulk knocked out a human-shaped passage, and then turned his head to look at the helicopter circling in the sky. He was basically sure.In the immediate situation, it must be that the US military used some means to lure Banner over, intending to arrest him, but accidentally released the Hulk, and the scene in front of him appeared as a result.

Sometimes, Li Ran really couldn't understand certain thinking patterns of the American military. He clearly knew the strength of the Hulk, and ordinary conventional weapons couldn't do much to him, but he always adopted a tough attitude to arrest him instead of using more Gentle approach and Banner contact.

Compared with the uncontrollable Hulk, Banner is the most suitable person to talk to, not to mention that Banner himself has always had the idea of ​​wanting to control or even completely eliminate Hulk.At this time, if the military can be softer and show goodwill, it can actually cooperate with Banner and even study it.

However, General Ross, the military or the person in charge, chose a tough line of confrontation.

It was a win-win situation, but the military just made it into the unmanageable result in front of us.

The hegemony and unreasonableness of the American military can be seen.
