Chapter 12 The Fist of Justice

Lu Nian moved bricks and bricks at the construction site for a day, earning a total of 150 US dollars.

The wages of brick movers in New York are settled every day.

$150 a day, $[-] a month, and $[-] a year.

The minimum standard for the middle class in the United States is an annual income of [-] US dollars.

As long as Lu Nian insists on moving bricks every day, then Lu Nian will be a glorious member of the American middle class.

Getting rich by moving bricks is definitely not a dream!
That evening, Lu Nian returned home with a slightly tired body.

Although Lu Nian's body is different from ordinary people, after a whole day of high-intensity brick-moving activities, Lu Nian felt a little tired.

When Lu Nian returned home, Lu Nian's mother hadn't come home yet.

Lu Nian took off his dirty clothes and threw them into the washing machine.

After that, Lu Nian lay down on the bed, thinking about his future.

Until five o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Nian's mother still did not come home.

At this time, Mrs. Henry knocked on the door of Lu Nian's house.

"Xiao Nian, are you at home?"

When Lu Nian heard that Mrs. Henry was coming, she immediately got up from the bed and went to open the door.

"Mrs. Henry, why are you here?"

"Xiao Nian, your mother called me just now. She has to work overtime tonight and asked you to come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Ah! All right! I'm going to trouble Mrs. Henry again!"

"No trouble! No trouble at all! Xiao Nian, you saved my life this morning, and I specially prepared fried steak for you tonight."

"Ah?! Mrs. Henry, you don't have to be so polite!"

"It's okay, Xiao Nian! I've already made it all, you just feel free to eat!"

Mrs. Henry took Lu Nian's hand kindly and walked towards her home.

At the same time, in an old house on the outskirts of Brooklyn.

In a bright room, there is a large bed in the middle.

The black youth who had undergone radio wave brainwashing was firmly tied to the bed.

Dr. Gordon looked frantically at the black young man lying on the hospital bed, and shouted excitedly, "Wake up, my greatest masterpiece, Hydra's first cyborg warrior ever! Octopus horse! "

The former black youth, now the octopus, slowly opened his eyes.But in the eyes, a little empty.

"Ahh!!!!!!"

The octopus uttered its first newborn cry.

"Can you talk, Octopus?"

"can."

"I am Dr. Gordon, the father who made you. From now on, you must work hard for Hydra."

"Yes."

Seeing that the octopus was obedient, Dr. Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help admiring, "Dr. Zola is such a genius! The transformation of brain waves is really successful!"

After confirming that the brain modification of the octopus horse was successful, Dr. Gordon ordered his men to put the octopus horse off the bed.

"Octopus horse, you should get used to your body first, I will give you a task to complete in two days."

"Yes, Dr. Gordon."

Octopus was brought down by two Hydra members.

In a slum in North Brooklyn.

Lu Nian and Mrs. Henry are having dinner together.

In order to repay Lu Nian for saving his life, Mrs. Henry specially prepared fried steak for Lu Nian.

Lu Nian no longer remembers when was the last time he ate fried steak.

In the slums, every household is similar with minor differences.

This is synonymous with poverty.

Mrs. Henry's home can be described as shabby.

An old TV, an old couch, a square table with a broken leg, an old air conditioner, and a small bed with a broken leg.

"Xiao Nian, eat more! You're welcome!"

At the urging of Mrs. Henry, Lu Nian began to enjoy the fried steak.

Mrs. Henry's cooking skills can't be said to be very good, but Lu Nian ate with gusto.

After dinner, Lu Nian said goodbye to Mrs. Henry and returned home.

After Lu Nian ate and drank enough, the exhaustion from moving bricks during the day was swept away.

Lu Nian lay on the bed again and began to think about his future.

It is definitely impossible to move bricks on the construction site for a lifetime.

For some reason, Professor Kaiser's words resurfaced in Lu Nian's mind.

"In this world, there is neither absolute justice nor absolute evil. The same gun can be used to save people in the hands of some people, but it can become a murder weapon in the hands of others. What kind of person do you want to be? , depends on your heart. I can make you have great power, but I can't teach you what kind of person you should be. Xiao Nian, the future is in your own hands. If one day, you long for power, then Come back here and drink it. But you have to remember that once you drink it, it means that you will bid farewell to the life of ordinary people. Remember, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!"

Lu Nian murmured, "Professor Caesar, although I have become a Cavelier (knight), my heart is full of confusion and I don't know what to do now. Professor Caesar, if you are still here , what will you let me do?"

Just when Lu Nian was hesitating, Lu Nian heard the sound of the door opening.

"It's mommy back!"

Lu Nian immediately jumped off the bed and ran to the door.

"Ah! Mom! What's wrong with you?"

Lu Nian was surprised to find that her mother's head was wrapped with gauze.

"Xiao Nian, it's okay, I accidentally touched it today."

Of course Lu Nian did not believe her mother's arguments.

"Mom! Did someone bully you? Tell me! I'll go and get justice for you!"

"Xiao Nian, it's okay! I really touched this by accident!"

"mom!"

Seeing his mother like this, Lu Nian felt sad and distressed.

"Mom! I'll help you sit down and rest for a while!"

Lu Nian supported his mother and sat down on the chair at home.

"Xiao Nian, have you eaten yet?"

"I ate it, at Mrs. Henry's."

"That's good. Mom is not feeling well now. She wants to go to bed early and can't cook at night."

"Okay, Mom!"

After chatting with his mother for a while, Lu Nian helped her to rest on the bed.

After watching her mother fall asleep, Lu Nian gritted her teeth and left the house.

"I don't care who you are! If you dare to hurt my mother, I will make you pay the price!"

Lu Nian immediately ran to the tailor shop owned by her mother.

The tailor's shop is now closed.

However, Lu Nian could still see the tailor's shop from the window. It was obviously messy, and there seemed to be a fight.

Lu Nian couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

"What happened in the tailor's shop? Who hurt my mother?"

Lu Nian turned her head and suddenly saw that the bakery two shops away from the tailor's shop was still open.

Lu Nian walked into the bakery with a trace of hope in her heart.
