Beauty Man: Infinite Possession

Chapter 26 Jessica Jones

The rough knock on the door made Li Ran in the antique shop subconsciously frowned.

He turned his head, and the first thing he smelled was the pungent smell of alcohol.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

Immediately afterwards, I saw a woman with messy hair wearing a hoodie, staggering in with a wine bottle.

"It's me, that's right."

Li Ran looked up and down the woman in front of him. She had a thin appearance, but her brows were always frowning, as if she was irritable.

"Help me see how much this stuff is worth."

As she said that, the woman took out a ring from her pocket, threw it on the table in front of Li Ran, and then nonchalantly raised the wine bottle and took a sip, acting like a drunk.

Li Ran raised his eyebrows and picked up the ring that jumped in front of him. After a moment of clues, he raised his head and glanced at the drunk opposite, and then replied, "Up to a hundred."

bang-

"One hundred, hiccup~"

After a big belch, the woman put down the bottle in her hand in dissatisfaction when she heard the price given by Li Ran. The bottom of the bottle collided with the table and made a loud noise. Li Ran pulled him in front of him, and asked with a drunken face: "You bastard, do you think I'm drunk, so you want to take advantage of me and deliberately lie to me!"

Li Ran turned his head, avoiding the pungent smell in front of him, moved his body and struggled for a while, but found that the woman's strength was unexpectedly huge, and he couldn't get rid of it easily.This made him fix his gaze, and began to look squarely at the sudden guest in front of him.

"The color of this ring is not good, and there are still obvious scratches on it. One hundred is already the most reasonable price I can give."

Although he was surprised by the woman's strength which was different from her thin appearance, Li Ran didn't show too much panic, but calmly gave the result of his appraisal.

"If you think the price is not satisfactory, you can look elsewhere, but I don't think there will be much difference."

The woman opened her drunken eyes, looked at Li Ran silently, then curled her lips with an expression of impatience and let go of her hand. While scratching her messy hair, she continued to drink: "F****K, well, one hundred is one hundred, that damned guy, dare to use this kind of stuff to lie to me, don't let me meet him again!"

After cursing for a while, the woman took the money that Li Ran handed over and put it into her pocket.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at the layout of the antique shop with her sleepy eyes. When she walked in, she just saw the shop on the side of the road pleasing to the eye, and didn't think much about it. Now when she looked again, she realized that the antique There are quite a lot of things in the store.

Although, most of them are fakes.

With the keenness of a private detective, the woman could tell at a glance that most of the items in the store were just so-called fake goods.

Looking around in the antique shop, the woman quickly lost interest. She touched the one she just got in her pocket, which was also the only 100 dollars left on her body, and then turned her head to look at Li Ran in the shop. , hesitated for a moment before saying: "Boss, are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"Cooperation?" Li Ran raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

"That's right." After drinking the last sip of wine in the bottle, the woman threw the bottle in her hand and said, "My name is Jessica Jones, and I am a private detective resident in Hell's Kitchen. My job is to resolve some disputes between men and women, such as whose wife is cheating or whose husband has a lover outside..."

Jessica Jones, the private detective, and the extraordinary strength that he just showed on himself, when he heard the name the woman gave, Li Ran finally remembered the other party's identity.

A member of Future Defenders, a female superhero with a tragic past.

Of course, this is not important. The most important thing is that for Li Ran, the appearance of Jessica Jones undoubtedly represents a new goal of gaining popularity.

Moreover, it was the kind delivered to the door by oneself.

"...It seems that I talk too much." After talking for a while, Jessica Jones seemed to realize that she had become a little too chatty under the influence of alcohol. She rubbed herself With a vaguely swollen forehead, he immediately continued: "Actually, my purpose is very simple. If there is a reward like a ring in the future, boss, you can help me exchange it into banknotes like today."

Because of her own experience and personality, Jessica Jones' private detective's work is not smooth, and occasionally she receives a job and often because of excessive performance, the final remuneration is discounted.

"If you can bring the things, I don't have any problems at all."

Considering Jessica's identity and the fame she can bring to him in the future, Li Ran definitely has no possibility of refusing.

"Then it's settled, Boss!" After successfully deciding on a way to exchange money, Jessica Jones couldn't help but relax her frown, reached out and shook hands with Li Ran, and then hiccupped again. I took a plate from the shelf of the antique shop, looked back and forth a few times, and said, "This thing is good, so I will take it away as a symbol of our happy cooperation."

"This plate is not cheap..."

Seeing that Jessica Jones took away the things in his store in such a grand manner, Li Ran subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but saw that the other party ran out the door without looking back.

"...it cost me a dollar."

Seeing the back of Jessica Jones leaving in a hurry, Li Ran silently spoke the second half of his words.

As I said before, most of the items in Li Ran's antique shop, no, it should be said that 90.00% of the items are all wholesale goods from Chinatown, including the one that Jessica Jones took. plate.

……

Take your gaze away from Jessica Jones' back.

Although he has recognized the identity of the other party, he knows that in the future he will become a poor version of the Avengers, one of the members of the Defenders.

But Li Ran didn't have the extravagant hope that he would immediately gain fame from Jessica Jones as soon as they met.

There are many ways to obtain fame, the simplest of which is naturally to fight directly like the Hulk before.Although Jessica Jones' super power is good, there is still a big gap compared with Hulk. Therefore, if Li Ran makes up his mind, he can obviously get a lot of fame from her.

However, at first, this kind of reckless approach is obviously not in line with Li Ran's plan.

Secondly, he is very satisfied with his current identity as the owner of the antique shop, and he doesn't want to be exposed so soon.

So, shaking his head, Li Ran turned around and picked up the empty wine bottle that Jessica Jones had thrown in the store, and was about to dispose of it.

There was a jingle.

As the bell rang at the door, a man in a purple suit walked in.
