"That's too far, old man! I pulled them back from more than a hundred seas, can't you let me take a break?!" The man named Arthur shook off the water on his body casually, while full of resentment complained.
"It's so close to the harbor, so it doesn't take much effort! I don't want my precious lighthouse to be disturbed by some random people!" The man known as the old man didn't care about his son's complaints at all, but drove him away indifferently.
"Really...others are superheroes, and I am also a superhero. Why can others be worshiped by countless people, but I can only hide in this little bay and be unknown." Arthur complained in a low voice.
"What are you going to say again?" The old man immediately turned around and asked.
"Nothing! I'm saying, the least you can do is give me a bottle of wine to quench my thirst. I'm really exhausted."
The old man turned back to the lighthouse with a disgusted face, took out a bottle of cheap whiskey and threw it to Arthur, and then complained loudly: "I really shouldn't have taught you to drink in the first place! Damn it! We have no money to buy wine this month! You bastard The bastard is like a barrel!”
"Hahahahaha!" Arthur bit off the seal of the whiskey, drank a big mouthful of whiskey for himself, and then said mockingly: "Who told you, an old guy, to let a three-year-old drink alcohol! Now you are being punished. Come on! Seriously, I’m going to sue you now to the Children’s Full Protection Agency. I don’t know if they will accept it. You’re three years old! You, this old guy, are just abusing children!”
"Bullshit! After we Samoans are weaned, the first thing we drink is wine! This is a national tradition! Just like our tattoos!" The old man showed off his strong arms, which were covered with tattoos of unknown meanings.
Arthur took a sip of wine and curled his lips: "Since we are Samoans, why don't we live in a warm South Pacific island instead of going to hell Minnesota?"
After saying that, Arthur threw the small half bottle of wine back to his father.
"That's because...your mother and I..."
"An old story!" Before his father could finish speaking, Arthur turned around and jumped back into the sea, intending to drag the broken ship to the port.
Watching Arthur leave impatiently, the old man sat slumped on the rocks by the sea. Looking deeply at the sea.
But then again, this story is indeed cliché.
A princess from a pry family met a wild sailor, met under a lighthouse, and then fell in love inexplicably, and finally separated because of the opposition of the princess's family... Even third-rate screenwriters are too lazy to write this kind of story.
In fact, the old man had been blaming his mother for abandoning them until Arthur, but the old man always believed that his lover must have left them because of their safety!
So he has been waiting here.
It is also because of this that he, a sailor who yearns for freedom and loves the ocean, has been trapped in the lighthouse for so many years.
…
Elsewhere, Arthur tows the ship toward the harbor. He did not continue to think about that old story. After all, he has no memory of his so-called mother at all, so there is no so-called hatred or love. Because there is no emotion from the beginning, so how can we talk about love and hate? He was just angry about why his father trapped him in that square-inch lighthouse.
For an illusory possibility?
Over the years, Arthur had used countless reasons to get his father to leave, but none of them were in use.
So I gradually got used to it.
Anyway, after so many years, he is used to it.
However, the recent frequent shipwrecks made Arthur more concerned.
…
Arthur's full name is Arthur Curry. His father is Thomas Curry. Thomas Curry is the keeper of the Curry Lighthouse in Port Mercy. It was also at Curry Lighthouse that Thomas Curry and Arthur's mother fell in love and gave birth to Arthur.
And his mother is not a human in the ordinary sense, but a species that is older than today's humans.
Atlanteans!
Arthur is an extremely rare Atlantean hybrid!
Of course, Arthur still doesn't know what this means, and he's not even sure whether Atlantis really exists. In short, he sees himself more as a special kind of mutant. He even thought of a nickname for himself, called Aquaman.
But his father obviously didn't want his son to be too popular. As an old sailor who has traveled half the world, Thomas Curry understands very well the discrimination and fear that the world treats those special groups of people. He hopes his son can live a peaceful life.
Fortunately, Arthur is a good boy. Although he is never polite, he is indeed very obedient. He suppressed the restlessness of youth and lived an ordinary life like an ordinary person. After finishing high school in Cien Port, he honestly became a fisherman and a salvage boat captain.
Although he is said to be the captain, in fact Arthur is the only one who owns the King of the Sea, and the so-called King of the Sea is only a small fishing boat.
However, because of his special abilities, Arthur did a good job. He dared to sail the boat to the deep sea to fish. At the same time, he was also a well-known diving expert, so his Sea King also received some salvage business.
Life is pretty good.
But how can I put it, maybe with his restless blood and kind nature, he will still secretly do some good deeds. For example, saving some victims of shipwrecks, etc. Thomas also supported Arthur in this regard. The only requirement was that no one should see him.
For example, today's ship is the victim of a shipwreck he found when he was cruising in the sea. There are six crew members on the ship. The hull is damaged and the engine is damaged. It has been floating at sea for several days. In addition to the wind and waves in the previous two days, The crew members on the ship were all injured, but it was not life-threatening. At most, they were dehydrated, and then they were all knocked down by Arthur with drugs.
After all, he can't let others see his true face.
Soon Arthur abandoned the broken ship near the harbor, then fired a signal for help, jumped into the sea and disappeared.
Although Cien Port is only a small city, it is still prosperous and has many fishing boats, so it should be possible to rescue it.
This is the third ship that Arthur has saved in recent times.
The chance of fishing boats encountering accidents at sea is actually not as low as imagined, especially in the waters near Minnesota, where the hydrological conditions are complex and the weather is changeable. But it is still quite rare for something like this to happen three times a month. After all, fishing boats are now equipped with radios and various navigation systems that can monitor sea surface conditions in real time. Unless there is a sudden large-scale extreme weather, otherwise Generally speaking, there won't be so many accidents in a row.
After all, the sea is so big that he encountered three wrecked fishing boats. What about the ones he didn’t encounter?
Anyway, this situation is not normal.
He felt that he should find out what happened.
…
After Kai returned to Wyndham City, he took Natasha back to Arthur's old house, which was a century-old house with a typical European manor style.
This house has aged well, but it is very beautiful, and unlike before Arthur was alive, Kay has enough financial resources to maintain it, so the whole house no longer has the gloom and decay of the past, but is more like a building on the phone. Neverland.
Natasha seems to like it here.
But Natasha's comfortable days soon ended.
Because Kai's real girlfriend is here.
Kelly arrived with Catherine and Diana.
Although no one said that Diana was Kai's girlfriend, and the two of them never had any substantial progress, both Diana and Kelly automatically and consciously took Natasha into consideration after seeing Natasha. Sha sees him as a rival for men.
They don't seem to like Natasha very much.
This is very strange. Kelly and the others don't even care about the relationship between Kai and Susie, but they are wary of Natasha.
"She lives a lie and is good at lying. Her life is full of betrayal and defensiveness. This kind of person has no feelings, let alone trust."
This was the comment given by Katherine and Kelly as they lay in Kai's arms.
Kai agrees.
He is not a fool. He can still feel whether a woman likes him or not.
Natasha could only say that she didn't hate him. As for liking it. As Catherine said, she probably didn't feel it at all.
"I know, she is different from you. My dear. She...how to describe it? More like a closer comrade." Although Kai has never taken the initiative to explore Natasha's true identity, it doesn't matter. (I will always use the name Natasha from now on. I keep switching between Natasha and Natalie. I sometimes get confused myself. Anyway, it is already clear that she is a spy)
"She is from SHIELD. Although it is unsuitable to admit it, SHIELD does still have some role. At least for now, I need to reach some kind of tacit understanding with SHIELD through her."
Kai doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D., a lot. But you have to admit that since the Cosmic Cube, the earth has been in a bad situation. Kai can't change this situation at all. The earth has been exposed. Kai doesn't know what will happen to the earth next.
In this case, any power that can be used is valuable. Otherwise Kai wouldn't have been so quiet after the war. This time, Kai neither went to arrest anyone from SHIELD nor exerted influence on Washington to punish SHIELD.
That's why.
Even if the White House takes such a big blame, it only makes it difficult for SHIELD, but does not really cause SHIELD to suffer. It is precisely for this reason.
Everyone is not stupid.
Banning S.H.I.E.L.D. at this time seems very cool. But what happens next?
Who can replace SHIELD next?
SHIELD's decades of hard work are no joke. In a short period of time, neither the Shadow Bureau nor any other organization will be able to replace SHIELD.
So Kai didn't refuse Natasha's coming.
Do you really think Kai is a spermatozoon?
No matter how good S.H.I.E.L.D. is, it has unique advantages in collecting information and handling various supernatural events around the world.
This is why both Nick Fury and Alexander Pierce are just worried about the situation at hand, but have no real reason to worry. In a sense, they are completely confident.
SHIELD is too big to fail now!
It cannot fail, at least until an organization emerges to replace it.
"She can't be our partner." Kelly is young after all, and his thoughts are simpler. "She'll expose us."
"Don't worry, Natasha is smart and she knows what to do."
This was not Kai's guess, but inferred from Natasha's recent actions. In the past, it was impossible for Tony and Kai to detect Natasha's contact with SHIELD. But the last few times Natasha contacted SHIELD, she would appear in Tony's surveillance inexplicably.
This has never happened before.
After Tony noticed that there was something wrong with Natasha, it was naturally impossible for Tony to relax his monitoring of Natasha. With Jarvis around, it was very easy for Tony to monitor someone. Any camera connected to the Internet could become Jarvis's eyes, but this woman had the ability to stay under Tony's nose without noticing anything strange! There is no need to elaborate on how terrifying this ability is. Kai and Tony even suspected that the reason why they were able to detect that she was a spy was because she took the initiative to show it to them!
This is no nonsense.
But that hasn't been the case recently. Several of her joints were photographed.
Could it be that she was slacking off?
It’s impossible to imagine!
So what was the reason that made her deliberately come under Tony's surveillance?
This is interesting.
Kai felt that this should be some kind of test. Although he didn't understand why she did this, Kai felt that they could go along with the situation. This is why Kai accepted her so easily.
After all, if she could help them, it would definitely be a good thing.
…
The days of one man and four beauties fooling around in a manor were soon over. After all, people couldn't live on just that, it was too pointless.
September 6th happens to be the Labor Day holiday. Yes, the United States also has Labor Day, but it is different from the Labor Day we celebrate. It falls on the first Monday in September. Although strictly speaking, May Day originated in the United States because of the nationwide general strike on May 1, 1886, for an eight-hour working day. The struggle was fierce at that time, and many workers and labor leaders died because of this struggle. To commemorate During the May Day strike of American workers, the Second International held a congress in Paris, which adopted a resolution to designate May 1st as International Labor Day.
So basically many countries in the world regard May Day as Labor Day, and many countries also have holidays to celebrate. But the United States just likes to play different. In August 1889, U.S. President Benjamin Harrison signed the United States' Labor Day Act. It stipulates that the first Monday in September every year is Labor Day and makes it a legal holiday with a day off.
Because it falls on the first Monday in September, plus the previous weekends, Labor Day is generally a three-day holiday in the United States.
So Saji's sister Angel found Kelly and planned to hang out with her.
Saji's sister is a classmate of Kelly's. She is currently studying at the University of Minnesota and happened to be home on vacation. I just planned to go to the beach with Kelly.
It just so happens that he has a cousin in Cien Port, and they can take his boat out to sea!
Well, his cousin's name is Arthur Curry.
