Chapter 809: Help you?
Hearing Tom’s answer, the guy he helped up seed disappointed. But before he could say anything more, Tom spoke up.
“No, I’m not a Mirage Knight fan. I am a… Friend of his.”
…
After Tom finished saying this, the atmosphere in this dimly lit alley beca a little strange. The eyes of Mirage Knight’s fan, who wore a hood with only one pair of eyes, instantly widened, and even if other expressions couldn’t be seen on his face, the look in his eyes was enough to guess how excited and shocked he was at this ti.
Brush!
Then he ripped off the dirty hood to reveal his bloody face. At this point, however, he would not care about his injuries.
“Are you serious?! Are you really Mirage Knight’s friend?!” The guy who ripped off his hood tightly grabbed Tom’s shoulder and asked with a nervously and excited expression on his face.
Ignoring the rude behavior of the guy in front of him, Tom nodded silently, “Yes, I am a friend of Mirage Knight.”
Shout!
“Ah! I’m going to faint! I’m going to faint!” After confirming what Tom said again, the guy seed so excited that he couldn’t control himself.
Judging from his appearance, he probably completely believed Tom’s words. Although Tom was telling the truth, ordinary people couldn’t believe it. It can only be said that the fan of the Mirage Knight in front of him is relatively simple-minded. Maybe it’s also because Tom saved his life just now.
“By the way, you still haven’t told your na?” Tom asked as he looked at the dancing creature in front of him.
Since this guy is a Mirage Knight fan and wants to be a Vigilante, Tom is interested in him. After all, Tom couldn’t have been fooled by Hydra if he hadn’t been aware of his friend’s alternate identity.
“Ah! My na is Dave! Dave Lizewski!” Hearing Mirage Knight’s friend asking his na, the guy answered without hesitation.
“Dave Lizewski… My na is Tom, Tom Smith.” After the guy in front of him introduced himself, Tom also introduced himself.
“Yes! Hello! Mr. Smith!”
Tom: “…”
A few minutes later, Tom was a few hundred ters out of that alley. Beside him, a young man about his age in a jumper suit walked with him. Although the person beside him was wearing a loos jumper, it couldn’t hide the unnaturalness of his walking, he was injured. And, if one looks closely, they would be able to see a lot of bruises on his face. Those bloodstains have been simply cleaned, and now Dave Lizewski is not looking so beaten up.
“That…… Tom, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that this is amazing. Are you really… Are you really friends with Mirage Knight? The Mirage Knight! From fighting street cri to becoming the Superhero Mirage Knight!” Walking slowly beside Tom, Dave Lizewski once again confird the situation for the first ti.
Looking at the strange new boy beside him, even though Tom has matured a lot because of a lot of things, he can’t help but get a little depressed. Seeing that Dave took out his phone and started searching for Mirage Knight’s information on the Internet, Tom could only continue to speak.
“I do know Mirage Knight and count him as a friend. However, I don’t know what he did as Mirage Knight. So if you want to ask about this, you might as well go directly to the League of Defenders’ official website. Got it.” Tom said calmly when Dave put the phone in front of him.
“Uh… Ok!” Hearing Tom’s words, Dave still suppressed a lot of questions about Mirage Knight in his mind.
“Were you fighting street thugs?” Taking a glance at the backpack that Dave was carrying, Tom changed the subject. The colorful homade tights that Dave was wearing before were packed in this backpack.
“Well, I’ve been watching them for a long ti. Just…… If I had been better prepared this ti, it would have been different!” Dave replied with a twitched mouth when he heard Tom’s question.
“If you had prepared better, I probably could not have saved you.” Seeing Dave’s reluctance, Tom said faintly.
“Huh? Why?”
While Dave was wondering, Tom had pulled a small gun out of his shirt. Those two street thugs didn’t just hit people over the head with iron bars, they’ve got guns. If Dave had done them any harm, Dave would have ended up with not a beating, but probably a bullet wound.
“This is!… A gun, a real gun! Tom, where did you get that?t!” Dave shouted in surprise when he saw the gun in Tom’s hand.
The connection between what Tom had just said and the gun he was now taking out had not yet entered Dave’s simple mind. He thought it was Tom’s own.
“This is not mine, I took it from those two people. So if you had managed to injure them and didn’t incapacitate them quickly, do you think you would still survive?” Tom explained helplessly when he saw the expression on Dave’s face.
Gasp~
Dave gasped at Tom’s explanation. Dave is not afraid of being beaten; he’s rough and thick anyway. But if a shot had been taken, Dave’s life would have ended up in that alley forever, and that’s not the result he wanted when he decided to beco a Vigilante.
“He! ~He! They even have guns!” Dave couldn’t even imagine that he dared to attack people with guns, but he was now terrified with hindsight.
“Well, so, if you want to do this kind of thing in the future, you must first determine the opponent’s real strength and situation. Otherwise, you won’t have such good luck next ti.” Tom said seriously as he looked at Dave’s fearful face.
“Huh? Do you think I can still do such a thing? After all, I’m so weak that I can’t even beat two street thugs.” Dave looked up at Tom in surprise and asked when he heard Tom’s words.
Dave’s dream of becoming a Vigilante like Mirage Knight was almost shattered after what happened today. Dave, after all, was just a human being, and a very weak one at that, who was able to do sothing like this entirely with the virtue of his heart. Now that reality has hit him, he had co to realize that this kind of thing is not so easy to do.
“What if… I said I could help you?”
