The Legendary Life Beginning from American Comics

Chapter 8 3rd rate superhero



Edward sent Glodia and Lillian back to the community where Detective Roya lived.

Glodia's mother was there.

It was a pure white single-family villa with a garden and a dog.

Roger's funeral was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. After sending the two to the door, Edward planned to go back first and let the family get together first.

Just when Edward was about to leave, a car suddenly stopped outside. A middle-aged man with short hair got out of the car. He was very tall, wearing a black suit and sunglasses. Before getting out of the car, he looked around nervously. Finding that there was no one around, he walked quickly towards Glodia.

"Glodia, I'm sorry, I just found out about this, so I put aside all my work and came here."

Glodia hugged the man who came and said, "Kunda, my father passed away."

"I know." Kunda patted her shoulder and whispered, "I know..."

"father!"

Kunda picked up the little Loli next to him, and the little Loli happily showed off to Edward: "Uncle Edward, did you know? My dad is a superhero."

Kunda rubbed the little Loli's head lovingly. It was obvious that the little Loli didn't have much affection for her grandfather, so she couldn't feel the adult's sadness.

Although Kangda is only a third-rate superhero and has collaborated with Claw Girl in two lesser-known movies, he still has some fans online.

"Thank you for sending Glodia and Lillian. You must be Detective Edward!"

Edward nodded.

The chief of police, to be precise.

Hearing Lillian say that Kunda is a superhero, he suddenly understood why Detective Roger and Gloria had a fight as soon as they met. Because Roger was an anti-superhero and did not agree with superheroes entering the police system and taking over the law. Punish criminals because they are uncontrollable.

So when he heard that his daughter's boyfriend was a superhero, he was naturally firmly opposed to it. His daughter Glodia thought that her father didn't understand her, perhaps because of his rebellious psychology, which made her determined to be with Kunda.

There is a deeper reason why Roger disagrees.

It’s just that superheroes are not suitable for ordinary people.

They are the private property of Vought Corporation and, therefore, their existence is to create value for Vought Corporation.

Therefore, even if it is an extremely personal love affair, it will definitely involve certain interests and be interfered with.

The level of superhero love is generally reciprocal. The partner of a superhero, even if it is not another superhero, must be a powerful person, so that value can be created. However, his daughter is just an ordinary person and cannot create value. Instead, it will be seen as a hindrance.

Just like celebrities, a big star will definitely not choose to fall in love with ordinary people, because ordinary people have no traffic value. Even if you really fall in love with the other person, for the sake of your own popularity, you will not choose to announce the relationship. You can fall in love privately and secretly, and even if the other party has a child, you have to hide it and cannot make it public.

Even if it can be published, it must be for some purpose, such as creating some topics, bringing a lot of traffic, changing the character, in short, it is all for profit.

Today's superheroes are like big stars. As long as they are superheroes, they have a certain topicality.

For example, which company’s spoon does a certain superhero use to eat?

Also, a button fell off a certain superhero’s suit.

...

Only when it is topical can it be popular.

Only with popularity can there be traffic.

And getting married and having children is the biggest traffic for a superhero.

It's like when a celebrity you like suddenly announces their relationship, you will be curious about who the other person is and why they are with your favorite celebrity.

Through your gradual understanding, you may become a fan of another person you don't know at all. Through such operations, Watt Company can continue to expand its fan base.

But such operations are rare. Unless you are about to die and have no new sources of popularity, you will not be easily allowed to announce your relationship because it will harm the interests of other superheroes.

But once people become popular, it is easy to lose themselves.

There is a saying that goes like this: The three great joys in life are getting promoted, getting rich, and losing your wife...

As a police detective, Roger naturally knows that such feelings are too unfair to an ordinary person like his daughter. Who knows if he will abandon his wife and children after he becomes popular?

For Roger, he didn't want to see his daughter suffer like this.

That’s why we firmly oppose it.

After all, who wants their daughter to be someone else’s secret lover?

Although Edward didn't know Kunda, a superhero, he had heard other people's gossips. Kunda and Claw Girl were recognized by fans as a couple. Although the official attitude was ambiguous, they still let the two collaborate in two movies.

Later, the two often visited some places, which confirmed some fans' speculations and made fans very excited, which triggered some #"superhero"# and #"爱"# topics.

It is a pity that at that time, the company mainly promoted the pair of CPs of Motherland and Queen Maeve. With the strong top traffic celebrity effect and overwhelming promotion, the popularity of the two people's "romance" was completely regarded as a stepping stone, and the popularity of Motherland and Queen Maeve was completely ignored. Pushed to the top in one fell swoop.

The Devil's Claw Girl was transferred to a remote place in New York City and hid in the snow because the company's investment was not proportional to its results.

Because Kunda was not popular, he was also transferred to a poor place in Vermont to promote Walter's superstar. Of course, he also gained a small number of fans locally.

"Detective Edward, I often hear Glodia mention you." Kunta smiled and extended his hand to Edward.

thump…

Just as Edward was about to reach out his hand, he felt the warning sound of his heart. It was very weak, but it was definitely there.

Is this guy in front of me hostile to me?Or could it be a threat to me?

I didn't provoke him.

Edward glanced at Glodia.

The corner of the mouth twitches slightly...

This guy...doesn't he think I am a Cao thief?

"Dad!" Little Loli stretched out her hand and took Kunda's hand. "You can show me your super power for uncle. Uncle Edward, my dad is amazing!"

The little Loli held Kunda's hand, and her unconscious words seemed to pierce Kunda's little thoughts.

Kunda smiled awkwardly at Edward. His superpower was to sense the other person's emotions. He just wanted to take a look at Edward's heart.

The reason why he couldn't be a more popular B-list superhero star.

On the one hand, this kind of perceptual ability is not like mind reading. He can understand the other person's thoughts at a glance. He needs to hold other people's hands to feel the other person's emotions. In layman's terms, it is not powerful enough. On the other hand, It's just that his ability doesn't have any appreciation or emotion. Only he can see this kind of thing, and others can't.

Furthermore, he is useless in fighting criminals.

"I'll come back in two days!"

When the family of three went home, there was no need for him to be a light bulb. Moreover, Kunda was hostile to him, so it was not appropriate for him to continue to stay.

It would be bad if there were some conflicts because of my existence.

Edward touched his face, which had an irrepressible temperament, and sighed.

At this moment, Edward received news from the police station.

Ding

[Detective Edward, please rush back to the police station as soon as possible, you have a mission]

Edward's lips twitched, he thought he was getting paid!

But it just so happened that I had an excuse to leave.

Edward looked sad, "I'm sorry, I have to go back."
