A Certain Marvel Super Player

One hundred and twenty-five, an explosive start to the new year

This is what Rock wins.

Since Locke didn't have anything to say, and Gwen wasn't the kind of big talker, there was no need to go around talking.

They are just boyfriend and girlfriend, not a couple.

Even if they are a couple, Gwen is even more incapable of talking.

Mother Helen once said that you live your own life, and there is no need to care about what others say. Helen's relatives honestly felt that the apartment was too small and too shabby to live in.

Helen and Gwen also said that if we want to compare with others, then what is the best? We don’t ask for being better than others. We just need to be richer than ordinary people and happier than ordinary people. Let others say what they say.

Helen always thought that small apartment was quite nice.

Gwen felt the same way.

Smaller, it feels like home.

Like the apartment in the Star Building that Locke bought.

Big is big.

But every time Gwen and Locke video chat, watching Locke walking in the dark living room, it always feels like watching a horror movie, without any sense of home.

Cindy listened to Gwen's words and nodded: "Yes, I heard my father say that every time he eats with their boss, he is under great pressure. For the top rich, eating with them is better than eating on the roadside. Here’s the burger.”

Gwen and Locke looked at each other and smiled.

Topped with burgers.

Specially flown here, it is said that it is from Tony Stark's favorite burger restaurant.

Locke looked around: "Hey, where are Robert and the others?"

Kahn pointed upstairs: "It's up there."

Locke smiled and said: "Still at the card table?"

Kahn nodded: "When Cindy and I came over, we were already there, and there was your friend named Dylan."

Locke raised his eyebrows.

Gwen also asked Cindy there: "What about Jennifer and Kristen?"

"It's not here yet."

Cindy turned around and looked around and said, "When Kahn and I came here, we walked around and didn't find them."

"Then leave them alone and eat first."

Locke said this and looked at Gwen: "I feel hungry after sitting here for almost a few hours."

Gwen laughed: "There's no free expensive drinks here."

Locke shrugged: "I can eat wagyu worth several thousand dollars, and I can drink bourbon worth fifty dollars. I don't choose."

If he was asked to buy it, it would be expensive.

But Locke is really not that particular about food and drink. He doesn't think that he should eat more than just because of how much money he has.

after awhile.

Just as Locke ordered a cup of hot cocoa for Gwen and Cindy, Jennifer and Kristen, who had put on a dress over there, also walked down the stairs on the second floor.

"Gwen."

"Cindy!"

Jennifer walked over and invited Gwen and Cindy: "Christine and I are going to the ballroom. Are you going? I heard that there are also New Year's Eve activities in the ballroom over there."

Cindy and Kahn looked at each other and expressed interest.

"Gwen, are you going?"

"Just a moment."

Gwen was still thinking about the hot cocoa she was serving immediately, and said to Cindy: "You and Kahn go first, we will find you later."

And she also planned to wait and listen to the captain's New Year's speech.

This is also a good learning opportunity.

Cindy nodded, said okay, and then said to Jennifer and Kristen who initiated the invitation: "Then let's go first. The ballroom should be very lively."

Jennifer made an exaggerated expression: "There are so many people."

Cindy pulled Kahn to stand up: "Gwen, let's go over first. Remember to come to us quickly. We have to count down together."

Gwen smiled.

but……

Before Gwen could say anything, the four people over there had already left with a hiss and ran faster than a rabbit.

Gwen looked away, looked at the hot cocoa that was served, and pushed the hot cocoa originally for Cindy in front of Locke: "Shall we go there later?"

Locke was honest: "To be honest, I don't want to go."

The dance hall is too noisy.

It is the favorite assassination place of many killers, because when assassinating in the dance hall, even without a silencer, the sound of shooting can be well covered up.

His six senses were still slightly touched.

It reminded him that there seemed to be some kind of lurking threat.

but……

Locke still hasn't found out what kind of threat it is.

So at this time, if you can avoid going to some risky places, try not to go.

Locke isn't worried about himself, but he is worried about Gwen.

Gwen held the hot cocoa, warmed her hands, looked at Locke, and said with a smile: "Then we are here. I heard that there will be a speech from the captain, and a former first-line singer will sing."

Locke nodded.

His original intention was to go back to his room and squat early, but he could do it here.

Locke's peripheral vision captured the scenes in all directions.

Then……

Locke looked curiously at Dylan, who was hooking up with a beautiful woman at the top of the stairs.

And that beauty seems to be a widow.

reason?

The beautiful woman has a son, and she does not exclude Dylan. If she is not a widow, then she is the female Sea King. There is no third possibility.

after awhile.

Locke looked at Dylan who was walking down the stairs with a smile on his face, grabbing the chips, and shouted.

Dylan saw this and came over.

Locke raised his eyebrows at Dylan: "What's going on."

Dylan's face straightened: "I want to know. I heard that you went to Stark's card game tonight. Tell me how much you made, and I will tell you."

"fair enough."

Locke nodded: "You first."

Dylan said: "Maggie, and her son, Connor!"

"married?"

"Divorced."

"As expected of you!"

"..."

Dylan twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored Locke's compliment, and looked at Locke: "Okay, it's your turn."

Locke smiled and said: "Not much, I made a small profit of 55 million."

Dylan's eyes widened: "How much?"

Locke's lips raised and he looked at Dylan: "I told you, you can go there with me, but you won't go by yourself."

Dylan scanned Locke up and down: "Something's wrong. You took away nearly 60 million, and you can still come out alive?"

If this were inside the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas.

Let alone 60 million.

Even 10 million will make you one of the countless missing persons after walking out of the casino.

Locke laughed and shrugged: "Once again, I reminded you, how much have you earned?"

Dylan shook his head and looked at the chips in his hand: "Not much, maybe two million."

Two million is fine.

Moreover, this is definitely the number that Dylan came up with after taking into account the cost of the cruise.

Dylan looked into the distance at this time, his eyes lit up, he got up and left directly.

Locke followed Dylan's forward gaze and shook his head.

While in Las Vegas, Dylan showed an unusual passion for young women, especially divorced young women.

Everyone who comes out of the military has problems.

Next to her, Gwen was listening to the words of Locke and Dylan. She seemed to have thought of something and looked at Locke: "I have always thought that money is very valuable, but during your conversation with Dylan, I suddenly discovered that money is a little bit... None of them are worth anything.”

George's annual salary is only 100,000.

Not to mention the fact that Locke just earned George's six hundred years' annual salary, just now Dylan talked about his gains...

Good guy.

That is George's annual salary for twenty years.

No wonder my father said that when he grows up, he will realize that money is easy to make in the eyes of some people.

Gwen thought so in her heart, and then she suddenly felt sorry for George.

Locke smiled slightly, held Gwen's hands, and looked at Gwen: "I will not sign a prenuptial agreement."

Gwen opened her mouth and rolled her eyes: "I didn't promise to marry you."

Do you think you can cheat her away without signing a prenuptial agreement?

It's not that easy.

at this time.

The restaurant gradually became quiet.

The dark-skinned captain also took the stage to prepare a New Year's speech.

"The ocean has always been the cradle of life!"

"Ever since humans first emerged from the salty depths, we have viewed water as an opportunity for rebirth."

"Poseidon!"

"He is the god of the sea!"

"He lives deep under the sea in a palace made of coral and precious stones."

"so……"

The dark-skinned captain gestured passionately and said in a very passionate tone: "Then, what other way do we have to celebrate the birth of the new year better than riding on this old guy's horse? ?”

Holding a wine glass.

The dark-skinned captain looked at the many distinguished guests at the banquet: "I wish you all smooth sailing in the new year and keep it up, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Accompanied by applause from everywhere below, many distinguished guests sitting on the table raised their bottles of champagne, looked at each other and shouted cheers.

Locke held up the hot cocoa in his cup and looked at Gwen with a smile: "Happy New Year, and what I just said was serious."

Gwen's eyes flickered, she looked at Locke with a smile, and clinked glasses with Locke: "I hope that five years from now, you can still remember the oath you took today and respect those who keep their promises."

Five years later, she and Locke were twenty-two.

that time……

We can really be together.

There was a ding.

Two cups of hot cocoa clinked together.

Along with the countdown sound that started to get louder and louder.

"Cheers to five years later!"

Locke and Gwen looked at each other and took a sip of the hot cocoa in their cups.

Then.

Locke looked at the bit of hot cocoa on Gwen's lips, and his thoughts moved.

ten!

Nine!
