The Death Knell

Gradually, he felt his legs begin to move quickly on their own. His heart was filled with that shadow, and all he could think about was what to say to her.

Walking between classmates, without stopping at all, he rushed out of the school gate and saw the figure wearing cute pink clothes.

He gave chase.

"Huh...huh..." His heart beat abnormally fast. He swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva behind her, adjusted his smile frantically, and then patted her gently. her shoulders.

The girl turned her head and smiled when she saw it was him.

"Hey, what's up Leo?"

"Well...I thought about it for a moment. How about...well, how about we have lunch together and then go directly to the supermarket?" Leo stretched out a finger and scratched his face. I didn't dare to look at that cute face, and my eyes were focused on the little bird on the top of the telephone pole.

Lily looked around shyly. No one she knew heard the invitation, and no one was making noises.

She relaxed a lot and bit her lip slightly: "Of course, this is best."

"Then...what do you like to eat?" Seeing the other party's promise, Leo walked to her side cautiously. The two of them walked side by side in the crowd, and the atmosphere suddenly became sweet, even under their feet. Feeling cold.

"Want some pasta? It's not far from here. I know a restaurant that tastes really good." The girl pointed her finger at her chin.

"Of course, I love pasta, hehe..." Leo nodded hurriedly.

"Hehe, let's go then." Lily jumped like a little rabbit, looking very happy, her golden hair flying in the wind.

And just as the two young people were chatting and laughing and preparing to go to dinner, a black luxury car drove up to them.

To be more precise, it was a direct drift at the intersection, blocking the way of the two of them.

The car door rang with two clicks, and the door slammed shut with two more bangs. It was very cool and handsome.

Two people got out of the car. They were both very smart middle-aged uncles wearing black expensive suits and had two mustaches.

"Leonid Tesla?"

The man who got out of the driver's seat arranged his clothes and touched his hair very coquettishly. The hair oil made them docilely fixed in shape. He asked loudly with a smile on his face.

Amidst the noise of various car horns, Leonid was confused. Lily beside him took a step back in fear and hid behind him.

Leo didn't know these two people, but he knew this car. It was a luxury car produced by Wilson Enterprises. Each one was worth more than one hundred thousand dollars, which was enough to build a building.

Moreover, the suits, watches, and leather shoes worn by these two people could be seen to be of great value. He had no idea how such a rich man could interact with an orphan like himself.

"I am, but..."

"Hey, that's enough." The man driving the car came over very familiarly, hugged Leo's neck carelessly, and led him to the car: "There is also this beautiful lady, I'm afraid we have to borrow her Meet your boyfriend."

"No, let him go, or I'll call the police!"

Lily took Leo's arm and played tug of war with Mustache.

The other person who got off the passenger seat leaned on the hood of the car, looked at the sky and whistled, as if it was none of his business.

"Don't get excited, I'm not a bad person." The black-haired man with a mustache let go of his hand, stood in front of the two of them, opened his arms to show them his clothes and appearance: "Look at me, do you feel familiar? "

"Hmm..." Leonid blocked Lily behind him and looked at the smiling mustache in front of him. He didn't look familiar at all.

"Hey, let me give you some tips." Mustache exhaled arrogantly, his smile became even brighter, and he raised his chin high: "I am the most famous rich man in New York. I have appeared on the cover of Time magazine. You are also on TV. You should have seen me, and you must have my company’s products at home.”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and took the same pose as when he was on the cover. The car horns at the intersection became louder, and many drivers stuck in traffic stuck their heads out to curse.

are you crazy? ! Blocking the road and turning sideways to two children with eyes closed, were you planning to get slapped? !

Seeing that the other party was not a kidnapping, Lily became a little bolder. She carefully observed the appearance of the mustache and asked tentatively.

"Mr. Wilson?"

The mustache's smile gradually disappeared, his shoulders slumped, and he turned around angrily: "I was sideways when taking the photo, but it doesn't mean I only have one eye, and Slade's beard is not as beautiful as mine at all. , why do you think I am him?"

Lily shrank back again, trembling: "We all have Wilson Enterprises products at home."

"Don't you all use Stark Industries products? As Americans, don't you have guns at home?" Mustache tilted his head helplessly, feeling like he had lost.

Leo and Lily looked at each other and shook their heads, looking innocent. They were minors.

Mustache looked up to the sky and sighed. He felt that the wind was so cold today and his heart was frozen. However, with his strong will, he still forced a smile.

"I am Howard Stark, the most brilliant genius of this century, the boss of Stark Industries. The man next to the car is Dr. Nathaniel Richards, a slightly less genius than me, but he is You're a pauper, but I bought all the clothes. We came here specifically to see you, do you mind if I call you Little Leo?"

After hearing Howard's name, Leonid indeed remembered that he had seen this person before. It's just that on the poster of Captain America, this mustache is in the most inconspicuous corner behind the invasion team.

"Sir, although it's nice to meet you, I haven't seen you before. Besides, my classmates and I are getting ready to go to dinner. I wish you a good appetite."

Leonid smiled dryly, pulled Lily around Howard and left quickly.

He had heard rumors about Howard on the street. This multi-millionaire was a horny man. From a dishwasher in the slums to a top star on Broadway, Howard was not picky at all about his age and skin color. As long as she was a beautiful woman, he wanted it.

Not only did he have a wide range of hunting, he was also very skilled in pursuing women, throwing money at them while saying all kinds of sweet things.

You publish love poems in newspapers, cover Times Square with roses, and use ice to build statues of beautiful women as big as the Statue of Liberty in midsummer...

Howard has used all kinds of tricks. No woman can resist his tricks, but some women are so obsessed with him that they are more popular than Hollywood stars.

Leo has figured out the whole process in his mind. It must be that these two playboys came out to hunt for women, drove around the streets in their cars, suddenly fell in love with Lily's beauty, and planned to attack her!

He said that he was specifically looking for me. Is there anything worthy of his fancy? It's a scam at first glance. If you want to use money to make him leave Lily, don't even think about it!

Leo is a tough guy whose idol is Captain America! Even without a shield, use a trash can lid to protect Lily!
