Chapter 16 A wonderfully developed plot
Strictly speaking, the anti-hero Erica Narcissus is a being of chaotic neutral order.
Like most superheroes with tragic life experiences, Erica's father stubbornly believed that her birth was the product of his wife Hongxing's affair. Therefore, after Erica's mother died in childbirth, she never received decent education during her childhood. Fatherly love. Until genetic DNA confirmed the direct bloodline between father and daughter, at this time Erica had already developed a rebellious and unruly personality.
After her father died in a kidnapping incident, Erica fell into darkness and was used by the Hand, who even planned to use her as a container for the beast god "Black Sky". With the help of "The Stick", the leader of the Holy Society, the enemy of the Hand, Erica finally escaped and returned to New York to join Kingpin's command, and became Kingpin's ace killer.
For such an anti-hero with an extreme personality, Kausu chose the simplest and most direct approach: defeat him first, and then talk to him!
Erica was indeed furious. She didn't care whether it would affect ordinary people, but she quickly punched Kausi in the face.
"If you only learn to speak with your fists, then this will be a very poor choice!"
As he spoke, an instant thunder storm fell from the sky, hitting Erica who rushed at her fiercely, until her whole body was paralyzed and her hair stood on end; then a frost shock accurately hit her slightly barren chest, sealing her in a thin In the ice layer, he could not move at all.
"If you take one step further, I can't guarantee that your heart won't be pierced by lightning!"
Seeing the lightning swirling around the other person's fingertips, Erica's expression finally changed as she broke free from the ice. She frowned tightly, "Who are you? When did Matt have a friend as powerful as you?"
"Gunsou taught you martial arts, but he didn't teach you a broad vision and knowledge." Kausu sat on the chair leisurely, playing with the sizzling electric ball in his hand, "The ninjas of the Foot Pot Chicken came from China. I secretly learned the escape method of hiding one's form, and this is just a scratch of the Five Elements - Erica, don't think that there are only physical arts and firearms in this world!"
Erica's body trembled. She suddenly felt that facing this young and handsome hotel owner, she was completely seen through like a crystal ball. Even the memories hidden deep in her mind were revealed without any cover. in front of the other person.
"You know too much, sir!" Erica tried her best to calm down, "Maybe you have more strength than I imagined, but this is not enough for you..."
"Are you referring to Kingpin, or those five fingers?"
Kausi dispersed the electric light in his hand, poured the last bit of morning dew wine into the cup, thought for a while, walked into the counter and took out a bottle of "cold spring water", "Drink this, at least it can make your mind clear." Calm down and... wake up!"
Erica took the spring water hesitantly and raised her head to stare at Kavus.
"Don't live like a walking zombie!" Kausi nodded towards Erica and picked up the wine glass. "If you want to fight your own destiny, then use courage and determination instead of drinking. A drunken domestic violence woman who beats her husband!”
"Husband?" Erica was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face turned red.
"No, you misunderstood, Matt and I..."
"Hmm, first love is always beautiful!" Kausi drank up the morning dew wine in the glass in one gulp. He felt that the sweet and sweet fruit wine had become a little sour. He raised the glass towards Erica, "You Don’t worry, I don’t discriminate against couples, especially those who gain and lose again, lose again and again, gain and lose again…”
"You don't seem to be afraid of the Hand?" Erica finally lost her temper and interrupted Kausi's distraction.
"The power of the human world is nothing!" Kausi tilted his head and pointed to the sky mysteriously, "Only outside the solar system can there be real terror..."
Erica didn't know that Kaus was referring to fierce and powerful people like the Dark Titan, Galactus, Gnar, Mephisto, and Dormammu. Except for the boss of the Ancient One, other ordinary superheroes on Earth would not awe him too much.
"So, this is your safe house?"
Erica seemed to have thought of something. She looked around the hotel lobby, and her eyes fell on Carrie and said, "Hmm, she is a very beautiful girl."
Kausi stared at Erica thoughtfully. Could this guy have awakened some strange attributes during the brainwashing of the Hand?
Reminiscent of the two apprentices of Stickman, Daredevil Matt Murdock became the Aquaman with a harem, while Erica has no scandal except for Murdock, who is the theoretical first love, and is even more like a quiet person. Dervish - This is completely different from Marvel's casual style.
"Well..." Kausu quickly signaled with his eyes that Carrie should go back to the room and hide. Jiali didn't understand what her boss meant, but walked up to him with a puzzled look on her face.
"Okay, this is my safe house!" Reluctantly, Kausu pulled Carrie and hid behind him, staring at Erica defensively, "Don't think it's just a hotel, but if someone wants If he has any intentions, I think he is seeking his own death."
Erica nodded: "Yes, I admit that you have some unique powers..."
She suddenly changed the topic, "The decoration style of your hotel is very unique. It reminds me of ancient and mysterious primitive tribes - such as the Bushmen in Africa, the Asaro in Oceania or the Gauchos in South America."
"Your place has just been renovated and opened. When the number of customers increases, it will not be enough for you and this little girl alone. Maybe you also need a capable store manager, reliable financial personnel, and security personnel to prevent customers from getting drunk and causing trouble. "
Kausu's face turned ugly. Everyone can see that the store is short of manpower. The problem is that it would cost a lot of money to have all the staff needed for a hotel!
It is a pity that due to his lavish renovation of the hotel during this period, there is not much left in the compensation of 100,000 US dollars. The remaining money is only enough for him and Carrie to survive for half a year...or even less!
A proud smile suddenly appeared on Erica's lips, "Then, I can recommend an employee to you! She doesn't need a high salary, she only needs a room and a small amount of food. You can have a perfect employee who can perform the above duties loyal employees, what could be more cost-effective than this?”
"Hmm..." Kausu nodded thoughtfully.
Sounds like a good idea? One person can hold three jobs without much salary...
"Where is she now?"
"it's here!"
Kaus looked along Erica's fingers, and his eyes fell on her small and straight nose.
"you?"
"Erica Naqis graduated from the Department of Finance and Trade at Columbia University and holds an internationally accepted accounting certificate." Erica smiled happily and winked at Kausi, "As for my You can verify your skills slowly."
"Or are you planning to have an interview?"
Of course, there is no need for an interview. Being able to serve as a vessel possessed by the beast god "Black Sky", and receiving the true inheritance of Stickman, Erica can become Kingpin's number one killer, and her reputation is definitely not in vain.
Seeing that Kausi was still hesitating, Erica just smiled and said, "Excuse me, where is my room?"
"Okay!" Kausi sighed, "You can live in the third room on the left upstairs. But don't break my furniture. That will cost you money!"
"Stingy guy..." Erica muttered with a flat mouth, twisted her slender waist, and walked towards the stairs. Suddenly she turned around and said with a sweet smile, "Next, Please give me more advice! Mr. Boss!"
It wasn't until Erica's graceful figure disappeared at the top of the stairs that Kaous came back to his senses.
What the hell?
Erica doesn't compete with "Bullseye" for the position of Kingpin's number one assassin, nor does she try to get along with the Hand, but she actually runs into the Mulgore Hotel and becomes the lobby manager?
He could no longer imagine what kind of wonderful development the plot would have in the timeline he had messed up.
With a confused look on her face, Carrie poked her little head out from behind Kausi. She looked around for a while, and suddenly found that her boss's expression became extremely exciting, sometimes wretched, sometimes excited, sometimes frustrated, sometimes desperate... and finally turned into broken. The jar was broken, as calm as a dead dog.
