I want to have a date with Superman
Chapter 4 Martha
In the video, the fight between Quinn and his daughter continues, and more shocking news is revealed one after another.
"Last time in Toronto, before the North American Star of Hope event, you promised me, for the last time, on your grandmother's grave that you would never take spinach from the competition I participated in again." Harley was very angry.
Then, she sighed earnestly: "When I was a child, I was not very famous and my skills were not mature enough to lose the game.
But now, I have defeated countless Olympic seeded athletes and am recognized as the smile queen by the team. As the queen of gymnastics who is about to reach the top, I can no longer fail casually.
Even in every game, I have to do my best to defend my honor.
In two years, when I can participate in the World Championships, how much endorsement fees will I not earn? Why should we go to a manure pit to pick up money when we can stand in the sunshine and flowers? "
In the office.
Harley is very embarrassed. Is this self-inflicted?
What kind of punishment will she receive for match-fixing, outside betting, and game manipulation?
Of course she didn't want to get involved in those bad things. After all, her family was still considered middle class and not wealthy, but they were generally not short of money for food and clothing. But even if she is a time traveler, it is impossible for her to be "Long Aotian" when she is seven or eight years old and make her parents completely obey her. Especially when she is low in level and weak in strength, she does not have the status she currently has at home.
In other words, when Andy wanted to gamble a few years ago, he would not ask his teenage daughter for her opinion. Just like in the real world, parents don't care about the attitude of ten-year-old children when doing things, especially in private life.
If you ask your mother not to play mahjong, she will just tell you to go back and do your homework.
"No wonder you, who showed Olympic-level strength, lost to a group of kids last time." Ms. White glanced at her.
"I don't want to either. It's all about logging," she said weakly.
In order to cut down trees, the Americans can even be forgiven for killing people and setting fires. This is how it is shown in the movies, isn't it?
"It's hard for you!" Ms. White's face softened a little and she sighed: "You are still a child, and your father, Mr. Andy Quinn, is really terrible."
Then there was silence, except for the video on Dell's laptop.
Dad Andy waved his hand and shouted: "I only made five thousand dollars last time. Gotham is a big city, how long can a mere five thousand dollars last? Wait two years, by the time you get the endorsement, our family will be bankrupt!"
"Don't quibble. With your and Tracy's salary, you can live a stable life and don't spend money recklessly. You won't go bankrupt in two years or twenty years, let alone two years." Harley said.
Andy turned his head, avoided her sight, and said in a low voice: "I remember my oath, Toronto is the last time. I didn't ask you to help me cheat this time, I relied on my own ability."
In his dual capacity as a coach and a father, injuring his daughter's leg during the competition is just a matter of relying on his own abilities?
Harley almost laughed out loud.
"How many more did you vote this time? You are so angry."
Andy's eyes flickered, he touched his nose and said angrily: "Harry, you know, I love you, and I don't want to hurt you anymore.
Therefore, in order to be tired from logging and not to disturb the old grandmother in the grave, I decided to wash my hands and go ashore after finishing this job. "
Harry's heart skipped a beat, "So, you lost all the money you could lose in the next life this time? Shit, how much is it?"
Andy made a scissor hand gesture.
"Twenty thousand dollars?"
"Add another zero."
"Crackling."
In the office, Harley leaned forward and quickly closed her laptop. The "parent-child game" between a loving father and a filial daughter was interrupted on the screen.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
Harley was very angry and said angrily: "Where is the law? Where is Millikin's free will and human rights? Where is my right to privacy?
Isn't this kind of secretly photographing female athletes' lounges against the Constitution of the Republic of China? I'm going to send a lawyer's letter to those bastards! "
"The lounge is not a changing room or a toilet. Isn't your father in there? Moreover, the North American Gymnastics Federation borrows the gymnasium from Metropolitan University. Metropolitan University is not the organizer. All students in the university know that there are cameras in the lounge. so."
Ms. White shook her head, "Who are you suing?"
Harley immediately asked: "Does this video have any legal effect?"
"This" Ms. White's expression was a little strange, "Harry, maybe I didn't make it clear. It's not that the Gymnastics Federation wants to mess with you. In fact, they are also very upset at the moment.
Like you, they wish they could go back three days and smash the Metropolitan University surveillance system. "
"American sports leagues are extremely market-oriented, just like the NBA, and you are a foreseeable and precious asset of the league.
You are like Allen Iverson who has not yet participated in the draft. Will David Stern engage Iverson? Even if he himself is a mess. "The principal said meaningfully.
Harley reacted and said thoughtfully: "In other words, this videotape was not actively sought by alliance officials, but someone used it to report me to the alliance?"
Ms. White nodded lightly, "So, the alliance will not litigate with you. If we really resort to law, your father will probably go to jail for a few months."
Because not only did he bet on his own, he was also involved with Gotham's underground gambling company. "
Harley was silent.
Of course her family didn't have $200,000 to gamble with Andy. Those were loan sharks from "Russian" Nikolai.
And Nicola is one of the ten major family members under the command of the Godfather of Hedao, Carmel Falcone.
Harley sighed and asked, "Will the Alliance punish me?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Ms. White rolled her eyes, "Rules are always more important than individuals!
For example, the top players in the NBA today are Kobe and James. They walk and elbow people, and the referee may blow the star whistle to favor them.
But if they dare to fight on the court, do you think David Stern will ban them from the game?
If there is no conclusive evidence, the Gymnastics Federation will not care about you, let alone actively look for evidence against you. But now that the videotape is on the president's desk, can they turn a blind eye? "
"Am I going to be suspended?"
Ms. White adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose and nodded slightly, "About two years——"
"Oh, two years? I will be old in two years." Harley said.
The old principal glanced at the young girl who was so young that she could pinch water, and said calmly: "Are you implying that I am very old?"
Harley was stunned for a moment before catching up with the other person's thoughts.
"Mrs. White, you don't know that many boys in the school use you as their midnight fantasy object!"
Harley handed him a flattery first, then frowned and said, "For a gymnast, two years is too long and too precious."
"It happens to be the BJ Olympics in two years. Your problem is not small. Being able to catch up with the Olympics is a deliberate effort by the league."
After a pause, Ms. White added: "Actually, a two-year suspension is just a punishment from the Gymnastics Federation."
"What else?" Harley asked with a frown.
"First of all, your father is fired." Ms. White held up a finger.
In this life, Harley can barely be considered a sports family.
Andy worked as a quarterback when he was young, but unfortunately he was not talented enough and liked gambling. He worked as a substitute for the Denver Broncos for half a year, but was bought out and terminated by the team because he was suspected of betraying his teammates' information to a gambling company.
Seeing that he couldn't survive in the NFL, he returned to his hometown high school and became a physical education teacher based on his experience in professional leagues and the bachelor's degree in kinesiology he obtained in college.
Andy has been Harley's coach since she was four years old.
At the beginning of last year, Harley defeated the Chinese table tennis youth team and became famous all over the world. After discovering that she has Olympic-level talents in gymnastics, tennis, basketball, baseball and other sports, many high schools in the United States offered her an olive branch.
The Quinns chose Gotham City High School because the high school was willing to provide them with a decent job: Andy worked as a teacher at the city high school and continued to be her coach, and my mother worked as a lobby manager at a hotel owned by Wayne Group.
As for Harley herself, she also thinks that going to Gotham is a good choice.
First of all, she has wanted to escape from her hometown for a long time. Tulsa Town is peaceful on the surface, but under the sun, it is a more perverted and darker place than Gotham at its peak.
Secondly, the population in my hometown town is small, everyone knows each other, and no one in their right mind would want to fight with a little girl they know well. Life in a small town is simple, and Harley has no chance to act bravely.
But if you don't get beaten, you can't upgrade, and if you don't upgrade, you have no strength. The golden age of superheroes has not yet arrived, so it would be foolish not to seize the time to farm.
Gotham is different, with outstanding people, simple folk customs, and many opportunities to gain experience.
This is indeed the case. After twelve years in my hometown, I barely reached level four. After only one year in Gotham, I was already at level eight, almost nine.
The higher the level, the more experience is required to upgrade. Just to upgrade from level seven to level eight, the experience required exceeds the total experience from level one to level five. It can be seen that Harley's current growth rate is many times faster than before in her hometown.
It was also when she came to Gotham that she quickly upgraded, allowing Harley to defeat her father Andy with fists, which made him feel a little more at ease, and she gradually gained control over the family.
Finally, Master Wayne is still in high school, which means that the Batman fan club will only appear n years later. Gotham at this time is dangerous, but not so deadly. In fact, what Harley doesn't know is that even in the Batman period, Gotham is also one of the few safe cities in the United States, because most of Batman's enemies are ordinary people, and Batman has repeatedly won.
Almost every member of the Justice League defends a city, and each city has its corresponding super criminal. The lethality of criminals is actually determined by the city's heroes.
For example, in the movies "Man of Steel" and "Batman v Superman", the Kryptonians used city buildings as toys and kneaded them, causing heavy casualties to the people. They were in Metropolis, not Gotham.
Green Lantern's Beach City is more dangerous than Metropolis, with millions of people wiped out and only a few dozen people left.
"Second, your scholarship may have to be suspended," Mrs. White said.
Harry frowned and said: "In the past year, I won more than a dozen medals for the school, including table tennis, gymnastics, basketball, baseball, and track and field. I won't fall behind in any of them. In the next few years, even in 2008, I will not graduate. Maybe I can earn three or four Olympic gold medals; now, does the school need to do this to me?"
"Hey, who do you think is the boss in this school?" Mrs. White sighed.
"Who else but you?"
"Of course not me," Principal White smiled bitterly. "Members of the Parents Committee can submit an application to remove me at any time, and Mrs. Martha is the president of the Parents Committee and controls the Wayne Education Fund."
"The Wayne Education and Cultural Foundation is the sponsor of our school."
"Martha Wayne?" Harley looked a little strange.
