Although New York can register marriage at the age of sixteen.

but....

Locke felt that George would definitely kill him, or that when George wanted to kill him, Locke accidentally killed him.

In short.

Locke looked at Gwen with a serious face: "Gwen, your idea is dangerous."

The idea is too dangerous.

Gwen opened his mouth and looked at Locke, who had a serious face, in a trance.

It's not bad.

Dylan and Maggie over there were already up.

"Gwen."

"Maggie, long time no see."

"How about it."

After Locke and Gwen sat down, they looked at Dylan and said, "How is your fire company doing?"

"Soon."

"That's good."

Locke nodded. Although he didn't care if others didn't pay it back when he borrowed money, it was always a pleasure to see his money being used on the right path.

Gwen looked aside: "Where's Pepper, I thought Pepper was already here."

Maggie, who was sitting next to Dylan, smiled and said, "It's almost there, I just called her."

In the past, Maggie's family was also rich, but it was still a little worse than Pepper's level, but a trip to the Seagod brought them together.

talking room.

The door to the dining room was pushed open once, and Pepper, Cindy, and Kahn came in together.

Gwen looked at Cindy who came over and was a little curious: "Cindy, did you meet Pepper at the door?"

Cindy and Gwen hugged, and then said to Locke next to him, "Hello, the ladies are going to sit together."

Locke got up and moved to the man's side.

Kahn said, "Remember that patent I sold?"

Locke nodded.

It was because of the patent that Kahn sold that Kahn could go to the Poseidon. When the Poseidon capsized, Kahn always regretted it.

Kahn said: "The company that bought my patent was bought by Stark Industries, and then Stark Industries invited me to join their newest marine laboratory."

Locke was stunned: "Stark... Ocean Laboratory? Is there this?"

Pepper said: "I didn't have it before, but now I have it. It will take about half a month to gradually improve. Kahn's patent is very helpful to our research. Just as it happened, I didn't expect that the patent would be Kahn's."

Cindy said to Gwen, "It was Pepper who we met in the morning, and Kahn and I thought something went wrong."

Gwen was happy for Kahn: "I'm happy for you, Kahn."

Since Stark Industries has come to Kahn directly, it means that Stark Industries values ??Kahn's patent very much. If this is the case, Kahn can also continue his studies in his favorite major.

sea...

But it's very broad.

"but...."

Dylan looked at Kahn with a strange expression: "A trip to the Sea God, do you still dare to go to sea?"

Kahn shrugged, "Just stop going to cruise ships."

Several people suddenly laughed knowingly.

Even Locke deleted the cruise from any future travel plans.

He would rather take a piece of wood across the ocean than go on a cruise.

Joke room.

The food ordered by several people was served, talking and laughing.

Dylan drank his whiskey and looked at Locke intentionally or unintentionally.

This is a regular restaurant after all.

And Locke is under 21 years old, not yet at the age to drink, and he has not yet reached the age to drink openly.

"correct."

Cindy seemed to think of something and looked at Gwen: "Gwen, did you ask your father?"

"what?"

"Just what happened yesterday, such a sensational thing, you won't forget it."

"....I forgot."

"what?"

Gwen looked up at Locke, then at Cindy: "I forgot about it."

It was the one who asked about New York First Television, whether that version was true, the version of the Peerless Assassin, or the version that Inspector George Stacy refuted the rumors.

Cindy patted her forehead: "How could you forget?"

Gwen smiled reluctantly.

She hasn't gone out since Locke left yesterday. She has been in the room with her ears pricked up, eavesdropping on what's going on outside, for fear that the two of them would fight, so she could try to persuade her to fight.

When she was nervous, she naturally forgot about it.

Maggie and Dylan glanced at each other: "Gwen, are you talking about New York TV 1 yesterday?"

"Ok."

"Maggie, do you think that version is true?"

"Witch."

Pepper also raised his hand: "I also agree with Maggie. I also think that witches are real."

Locke looked at Pepper curiously: "Pepper, do you also believe in witches?"

Pepper said, "Age, do you remember?"

Gwen nodded: "Of course, there's a big monster there."

There is also the crew of the Yago, who has not been found until now, and the official has not been able to say anything. However, because the Yago belongs to Paris, it is estimated that only Paris knows the specific news.

Pepper looked around and whispered: "Remember, the people from the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA who boarded the ship at that time?"

"Ok."

Gwen glanced at Locke: "The woman from the Homeland Security Agency knew Locke, and the man in the suit, and Locke recognized him at a glance as the CIA."

Pepper laughed: "After all, the CIA is dressed the same as in the movie."

Gwen hummed, and with Cindy and Maggie pricked up their ears and looked at Pepper.

Pepper's level is relatively high, and he can definitely hear and see some things that are not seen at their level.

"Actually, the crew of the Yago is not missing."

"what."

"how can that be possible."

"We obviously didn't see a single one."

"We didn't get inside the ship, did we?"

"In the cabin?"

"what do you mean...."

"Ok."

Pepper said in a low voice: "I heard that all the crew of the Yago were actually in the cabin, but they were all killed by the mutated big octopus."

"Gudong!"

Kahn swallowed.

Cindy and Gwen looked at each other. "Really?"

"I got the news from Washington," Pepper said.

That's the real hammer.

"Fortunately we didn't go down."

"Yes."

Several people listened to the revelations from Pepper and couldn't help but say so.

They had also planned to go to the cabin to avoid the cold wind.

fortunately.

I saw the tentacles in time, and then, Locke, who led them out, also said that don't be like the death squad in horror movies, go down one by one, and stay on the deck honestly.

Several people looked at each other.

Pepper even picked up the red wine in his hand and smiled: "I have a proposal to honor our hero, Rock Broughton!"

Dylan coaxed, "Good proposal."

Locke's eyebrows jumped: "Pepper, I said, I'm not..."

Pepper nodded and said, "I heard about it when I was shopping with Maggie last time, but we didn't tell anyone else, you are our hero, respect you."

Locke looked at the clear water in his glass and shook his head: "I hope these four years will pass quickly."

After four years, he can drink openly.

Not easy.

Locke felt that at the age of seventeen, sometimes it was good, but this was not good. Every time he secretly drank, he always felt like he was doing something shameful.

Wine glasses and drink glasses collide.

After Pepper put down the red wine glass, he said again: "However, I also know some things about last night, but you can't tell others."

Several people nodded.

Especially Cindy, nodded again and again.

Pepper whispered to everyone: "There is indeed a group of witches."

As secretary to the chairman of Stark Industries, Pepper, naturally, was one of the few who knew the real world.

"but...."

"Witches rarely deal with us."

"As for the reason, I don't know."

"However, the number of witches is very small. This world is still the world of ordinary people, so in order to cause unnecessary panic."

Pepper said so: "It's good that you know it, don't talk about it everywhere, in fact, it's useless to talk about it, because witches rarely come into contact with people, New York City, it is estimated that there is not a witch."

talking room.

A waiter came up with a drink.

Connor looked at the drink and his eyes lit up: "Mine."

Locke looked at the waiter and thought about what Pepper just said.

witch?

New York City doesn't have one.

What was the witch who just walked past?

Locke thought so.

After half an hour.

Several people walked out of the restaurant, and Locke's R8, which had been washed clean, was driven back by a parking boy.

Say goodbye, make an appointment for the next day we meet together, and then get into the car and leave.

The Poseidon narrowed the distance between several people that time.

And a few people also kept this close distance tacitly. From the first meeting just back, to the third meeting today, and a few more times, it is estimated that it will become a habit.

Car galloping.

Gwen, sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the news on his phone: "It's exactly what Pepper said."

"Ok?"

"All the videos are gone."

"what?"

"It was during the live broadcast yesterday that the video of the unparalleled assassin turning that scum into a mouse is gone."

"it's common."

S.H.I.E.L.D. has done the first ninety-nine steps, and there is no reason not to do the last step.

Locke agreed with what Pepper just said.

There are indeed witches in this world, but this world is still the world of ordinary people.

Ok.

Ordinary world like me.

Gwen put down the phone and shook his head: "By the way, the holiday is over. I'm going to continue my internship at Osborn Bio tomorrow. What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Locke smiled and said, "Chester has something to do with me. I'll go to Chester tomorrow."

To be precise.

It was Locke who was going to see Chester.

because....

A witch who is about to start a new life needs Chester's care.
