Chapter 511
The man, gun in hand, opened the car door, got out facing the crowd, took a few steps back, then turned and rushed into the crowd, running into a nearby alley.
"Huff... huff..."
Damn it!
The man was panting and cursing, and then there was a loud bang, and blood splattered instantly.
He exploded!
"Drive! Drive now!"
Lucy urged him on in a low voice, and only after the car had driven far away did she let out a long breath and collapse.
"Phew... You saved me once, and I saved you once, we're even!"
Su Quan's lips curled up slightly. "We're even? Fine, if you say we're even, then we're even. But I'm curious, didn't you run away? Why did you come back?"
"Don't you know why I ran away? If I hadn't run away, were you going to take me home? No, wait, a rich man like you wouldn't easily bring a woman home; you'd probably just go straight to a hotel, right?"
Lucy blinked and preemptively said, "Don't deny it. Can you honestly say you don't have those kinds of feelings for me?"
Su Quan chuckled, "Haven't I been very gentlemanly?"
"A so-called gentleman is nothing but a patient wolf; a so-called lady is nothing but a cunning fox—people these days are all too hypocritical."
Lucy pouted, looking cynical and relatable.
"A poor man's gentleman is worthless, but a rich man's rogue is particularly charming," Su Quan casually replied.
Lucy glanced at Su Quan: "You are quite charming, and as for people, Hu Hu not bad either, otherwise I wouldn't have risked saving you."
After saying that, she took out a cigarette from her pocket, put it in her mouth, pointed the gun at the cigarette, and pulled the trigger.
"Click!"
A flame shot out from the muzzle of the gun and lit the cigarette.
Her gun was fake; it was a lighter shaped like a pistol.
No wonder she kept saying that she risked her life to save Su Quan, and afterwards she just collapsed into a chair.
"You're really quick-witted!" Su Quan praised.
Lucy put her feet on the center console, smoked a cigarette, and said lazily and smugly, "Nothing is as good as just right."
This statement is indeed very apt in the situation just now.
A gentle breeze blows, incense smoke curls upwards, the sun shines brightly ahead, and a beautiful woman lies languidly beside you. In this scene, at this moment, there is an indescribable sense of comfort.
"Hey," Su Quan suddenly said.
Lucy gave a lazy "hmm" like a cat.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
Don't you feel lonely?
"I have never felt lonely; to put it more romantically, I am completely free."
Su Quan glanced at her and smiled, "Cool."
"And you?" Lucy countered.
"I don't have any either."
"I don't believe it," Lucy scoffed. "How could a man as rich and decent as you not have a girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend? Didn't you just say boyfriend?"
"..."
Lucy rolled her eyes, speechless. "Don't play dumb. I'm asking about my girlfriend."
Su Quan chuckled and said, "In the past, travel was slow, letters took a long time to arrive, and one could only love one person in a lifetime. Now that transportation and communication are so advanced, I think we can love several more."
"Scumbag."
"Um."
"That's it? Aren't you going to defend yourself?"
"What's there to argue about?" Su Quan said dismissively, "It's all voluntary, there's no regret afterward, we haven't let the encounter go to waste, and we don't talk about owing anything. Isn't that good enough?"
Lucy nodded in agreement. "Just be true to yourself, and leave the rest to karma."
"..."
Su Quan hissed. This little punk was not only witty and down-to-earth, but also had a sharp tongue.
"Every cause has its effect, and your retribution is me."
Lucy scoffed and didn't say anything more.
After a long, long time, the car had driven aimlessly for quite a distance when Lucy suddenly said, "Five hundred dollars."
"Huh?" Su Quan didn't react for a moment.
Lucy turned to look out the window. "I don't have any money to pay the rent."
Five hundred US dollars?
Can't afford the rent?
Together they mean...
Su Quan was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat taken for granted. After all, punk girls are like rock musicians; being poor and destitute is the norm for them.
Besides, don't think that 500 yuan is a small amount.
To put it simply, Peter Parker sold an exclusive Spider-Man photo to the Daily Bugle for only a hundred or so dollars.
When Peter Parker was in financial crisis, Aunt Mei only gave him twenty dollars.
The inexperienced Peter Parker went to participate in the cage fighting competition in order to use the prize money to buy a used sports car to Mary Jane. The prize money was only three thousand dollars, but he only got one hundred dollars in the end.
This shows that 500 yuan is a considerable sum for people living at the bottom of society.
Su Quan didn't tease her for calling him a scumbag one minute and then offering 500 yuan the next; it was clear that this decision was difficult for her.
No one has any secrets from the Su Quan.
Lucy is the kind of girl who smokes, drinks, gets perms, has tattoos, and swears, but is still a good girl.
"You don't want to? Then pretend I didn't say anything." After a brief silence, Lucy said, trying to sound calm.
Su Quan smiled and asked, "You play in a band, right?"
"Um."
"A private band, interested? I have a really great lead singer here. If you're interested, I'll cover all your expenses, from food and lodging to entertainment, plus a substantial monthly allowance... and a salary!"
Lucy turned to Su Quan: "Did you let it slip?"
Calling pocket money a salary? Ha, I'm almost embarrassed to call you out! Are you recruiting band members? You're...
Snort.
Lucy flatly refused, saying, "Not interested."
"Aren't you going to listen to the treatment?"
"I won't listen! My freedom is priceless!"
"All right."
Su Quan didn't force him, and simply turned the steering wheel to change direction.
The next day, early morning.
Su Quan Teleportation without a sound, and the next second, he appeared in his car in the hotel parking lot.
Since he has already made his choice, there's no need to dwell on anything else. He's not the type to be sentimental!
Sitting in the car, Su Quan didn't start the engine. Instead, he squinted and sensed the Galactus in the distant galaxy, then unleashed his Psychic Power on it.
I allow you to develop secretly, but that doesn't mean I'll ignore you forever. Occasionally, a surprise attack will give him a sense of urgency.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Energy Projection (Galactus)"
Energy projection is essentially Energy Projection, such as the energy Storm of the previous Galactus.
Simply put, it's about Energy Manipulation or energy projection.
For Su Quan, besides being able to stack [Energy Manipulation], the biggest benefit of this ability is that it increases the visual splendor of special effects.
Su Quan's sudden Mind Stone attack startled Mary Jane, Silver Surfer was waiting to find the planet-devouring Galactus.
His first thought was that Su Quan had finally come knocking on his door.
