American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!

Smallwell Elementary School.

With a "bang" sound, Azu grabbed Whitney's clothes and slammed him against the locker.

"I told you not to come near Clark!"

Grabbing the other person's collar, Azu threatened him unceremoniously: "If there is a next time, I will beat you up so that your parents don't even know you!"

Whitney met Clark in the morning with a group of boys.

Whitney, who wanted to find trouble, knocked Clark to the ground and left after ridiculing him.

After learning that Clark was being bullied, Azu immediately came to trouble Whitney.

Awed by Azu's intimidating aura, Whitney did not fight back.

Knowing that a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences, he raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

"Hey, hey, John, relax, it's nothing. I promise you, I won't cause trouble to Clark again."

Seeing Whitney Bachelor admit defeat, Azu suddenly lost interest.

"Okay, remember what you said."

Azu let go of the other party's collar, put the other party down and turned around to leave.

Whitney turned around, with her back to Azu, and said in a weak voice that she could only hear - "Fake Squid!"

"What did you say?"

Azu, who had already left, suddenly stopped, then turned around and walked quickly towards him.

Whitney looked a little flustered, but quickly adjusted her emotions and faced Azu with a normal expression.

"I didn't say anything."

Azu pursed his lips and walked in angrily. He quickly walked up to Whitney, slapped him on the neck, and pushed his head down.

"What - what did you just say?!"

Pressing Whitney's head down, Azu's tone made Whitney feel frightened.

Frightened, he apologized to Azu repeatedly, "Sorry, I. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Azu pressed his head and ordered in an angry tone: "Say it!"

"Bang!"

Whitney's schoolbag fell to the ground, and all the books inside were scattered on the ground.

Ignoring the schoolbag on the floor, Whitney was unable to stand steadily as her head was pressed, and her body kept swaying from side to side.

Trying to maintain his balance, he was frightened by the fierce Azu and quickly begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, please!"

Azu grabbed the opponent's head and stared at the opponent for a moment, then suddenly let go of the opponent.

Whitney took two steps back, swallowed hard, and looked at Azu's back in shock.

Are you being bullied?

He was on the verge of crying but did not expect that one day he would be bullied!

"Thank you, John."

After learning that Azu had found a way out for him, Clark sincerely thanked Azu.

Although he did not agree with using force to deal with ordinary people, he was still very touched by Azu's behavior of standing up for him.

"Actually, I felt very unhappy with him."

Azu said that after gym class, he had been wanting to beat this guy.

It's just that I didn't find a suitable opportunity and I was afraid that the school would find parents, so I didn't take action.

"Anyway, if you help me, I can treat you to a honey bar, or maple bread."

The generous Clark expressed his desire to treat Azu to dinner.

Azu waved, "No, I'm not interested in your food. Even if you give me another box of Sharp cookies, I won't be interested either."

Clark could see that Azu seemed troubled.

"You don't seem happy, John."

"No, I just think this is what the teacher said is emotionally unstable, the kind that everyone comes to several times a month."

He didn't know why he was so angry just now.

For a moment he really wanted to break Whitney's hand.

Even though he knew that wasn't right.

Clark put down the book and asked thoughtfully: "Is it about Miss Kelly and Star-Lord?"

"You haven't been very happy since Miss Kelly moved in."

"No, I'm not unhappy, I'm just..."

Azu didn't know how to explain it.

"I just don't want dad to be lied to."

Clark looked at him in surprise, "Do you think Miss Kelly is a liar?"

"I didn't say that, but have you seen the news?"

Azu told Clark about the news he saw, "The oil tycoon divorced his wife, and his wife took half of his property, about 5 billion U.S. dollars. If, I mean if, well, this if is just my guess, But if he does..."

He paused and said in a serious tone: "Dad will give her half of the assets, and in addition, she will take away half of the farm!"

Clark was stunned.

He didn't expect Azu to think so much.

"No, it won't happen. Miss Kelly is the granddaughter of the chief. Her family has a large piece of land to inherit. How could she care about her father's farm?"

Adhering to the principle of strict investigation, Azu took out a small notebook.

"I asked Mr. Hanks to look it up for me in the library. The Kawachi people are still arguing in court with the state of Kansas and the federal government over who owns that land."

Clark asked in surprise: "Isn't there a documented record?"

"Oh, yes."

Azu flipped through the small book, "But it's all too old. A long time ago, from a big maple tree standing on the mountain to the river, it all belonged to the original land owner. But in 1882 The maple trees fell, and by 1900 the trees were rotten and gone.

Part of the river has also become smaller due to the accumulation of mud, and has become a swamp after ten years of change. As a result, the issue of land ownership is messed up. "

The more Clark listened, the weirder he felt.

Why does it feel like Azu is turning more and more into a farmer?

And it's very professional.

Could it be that Azu really doesn’t want to go to college in the future?

"so."

Azu didn't know Clark's inner thoughts and continued: "So think about the future. When this fat guy like Star-Lord grows up, if he becomes a prodigal son, his father's farm will definitely be destroyed."

Clark thought for a while and felt that the logic was not right.

"John, you're just predicting the worst."

Azu said plausibly: "How do you know that the worst case scenario won't happen? I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

Clark hesitated, but finally looked the other person in the eyes and said, "I know why you think that, John?"

Azu was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"You are just afraid that your godfather's love for you will be taken away, right?"

Azu, who had his thoughts revealed, closed his notebook angrily, "No, I am not. Dad loves me and he will not be separated by anyone! I just want to help."

"Really?"

Clark knew Azu very well and always knew what he was thinking.

"John, didn't the Godfather say that we are born with a certain mission? Maybe our future is more than just the farm. We can set our eyes on the metropolis, or a larger place."

Clark doesn't understand why Azu keeps clinging to the farm dream.

After hearing this, Azu looked at Clark in surprise.

He didn't expect Clark to tell some truths like his father.

"You hate the farm? Clark."

"No, I want to stay on the farm, but I also want to help more people."

"You're wrong, Clark, you never understood what dad said."

Azu's expression became serious.

He said to Clark unhappily: "You want to be a good person and go to the world to help others, it's impossible! Because you were not born as a normal person, people will never tolerate you, only the farm will accommodate you, you are forever Home."

"No, one day people will."

"dream!"

Azu raised his voice a little higher, attracting the attention of the whole class.

Being stared at by Clark's stunned eyes, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Remember the movie "The Fugitive" we watched? The policeman in it said: Either die as a hero, or live until you become a villain. Clark, in the eyes of people, you will always become bad."

"I'll never be bad!"

"Unless you die!"

Realizing that he was a little emotional and said something he shouldn't have said, looking at Clark's shocked face, Azu also felt a little regretful.

But instead of apologizing, he packed his schoolbag and left the classroom.

On the way back on foot, Azu felt a little regretful.

We were obviously talking about the farm with Clark, but how did it turn into a quarrel in the end.

Shaking his arms, he let out a frustrated breath and looked at the students walking together in front of him.

Lana is going home with her classmates.

Her best friend talked to her about the recent campus legend.

It is said that in the dilapidated and abandoned churches and prayer rooms in the small town, there is a legend that if you make a wish at twelve o'clock at night, your wish will come true.

Azu, who used his super hearing to secretly hear the other party's conversation, stopped in his tracks.

"Make a wish?"

Can you make a wish without using a monkey's paw or during a meteor shower?

He seriously doubted this.

After hearing what her best friend said, Lana also shook her head in disbelief, "How is that possible? Is there a Holy Grail in the prayer room?"

"Who knows? Some people say that there is magical power inside, and some people say that there is a devil inside. As long as you sign a contract with him, he can help you realize a wish."

Lana shuddered when she heard this, "The price must be high, and I don't want to."

After hearing this, Azu had an idea in his mind.

I heard Kelly talk about the existence of a devil called "Dude" in the town before. Could it be that it is not Kelly's fiction but a real existence?

Azu, who was standing there, took a deep breath and looked at his outstretched palm.

The palm gradually turned into a monkey's paw in his eyes.

He gently held his fingers, and one finger of the monkey's paw slowly closed.

Shaking his head, he looked at his palm again.

The monkey's paw of fantasy has disappeared, and the palm is back to its original state.

Putting his hands down, he looked towards the church northwest of Smallwell Town.

late at night.

Azu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall.

The hour hand points to twelve o'clock.

Gently getting off the bed, Azu put on his clothes and opened the door.

After walking to the window in the corridor and making sure no one was paying attention to him, he jumped out of the window and hung in the air.

After looking at the farm, Azu took a deep breath and flew towards the church with a "whoosh".

"Boom!"

One minute later.

With his feet on the ground, Azu looked at the dilapidated and desolate church in front of him.

Under the dark night, the church stands in the deserted wilderness, exuding a gloomy atmosphere, giving people a strong sense of uneasiness, as if it will transform into a beast that chooses to devour people at any time.

Azu hesitantly pushed open the church door and entered the church covered with dust and cobwebs.

The wooden chairs in the church were almost all broken, and the decorations on the walls were almost falling off.

Stepping on the dust on the ground, Azu walked into the church's prayer room.

In the spacious room, there was nothing except a mirror.

Standing in the room and searching for a while, he did not find anything suspicious.

There was no holy grail, and no devil who could sign a contract suddenly jumped out.

After searching for a few more minutes and confirming that there was nothing valuable, he was disappointed and prepared to leave the church.

But unexpectedly, the moment he turned around and left, Azu suddenly found something wrong.

He stopped and looked at himself in the mirror with an unbelievable look.
