Captain Marvel's Pager

New York was undoubtedly a combination of heaven and hell.

For the wealthy, this place was heaven.

New York had everything they wanted—women, more wealth, social status. It had it all.

Countless women carrying the American dream entered this place. Newcomers arrived every moment, clinging to naive fantasies that if they hooked up with some rich man, they could become rich overnight.

This was different from Los Angeles. After all, New York did not have Hollywood; girls dreaming of stardom all went to Los Angeles.

But once their dreams shattered, New York became hell.

The city with the most homeless people in the United States was New York!

They lost their homes and their jobs, yet getting a job required having a fixed address. It all came down to money.

It was an unsolvable vicious cycle, and so they could only end up homeless.

Who knew how many people had come here with dreams, only to find, after those dreams shattered, that they could not even escape. Every day, they could only drift about like the walking dead, sitting by the prosperous streets, picking through trash, and watching the most flourishing city in the world.

What irony.

And which city had the second-largest homeless population in the United States?

That was right, Los Angeles.

The American dream truly harmed countless people.

Capitalists harvested wave after wave of chives, never treating them as human beings.

Ke Chen's Dodge Challenger drove through the streets of New York, and he could not help sighing.

Fortunately, he was rich.

For him, New York and Los Angeles were the most alluring places. There were simply too many beautiful women in those two cities.

Not only women from the United States—even women from other countries desperately wanted to squeeze their way into those two places.

What exactly were they after?

He could understand the rich, but he truly could not understand those without money.

Ke Chen passed Stark Tower without stopping. He went straight to a luxurious hotel, planning to stay for a while before heading to Los Angeles to take a look at those girls with dreams...

If any caught his eye, helping them fulfill a few dreams would not be impossible.

In New York's glittering world, Ke Chen felt as if he could no longer sense the passage of time.

Still, there were simply too few people who could interest him. Several months passed without a single one.

Even though he lingered at all kinds of parties.

There were so many parties in New York that Ke Chen was dazzled by them.

Every night, the city seemed to truly come alive.

Now he understood why there were so many party animals here.

If he had only been moderately wealthy, with lower standards and less picky tastes, he might have become a party animal under the pull of such pleasures as well.

All he would need to do was drown himself in pleasure every day, sleep a little during the day, and continue partying at night.

If he liked a girl, he could just take her away and have fun.

Day after day, that kind of life was not impossible.

But Ke Chen had no interest in any of that.

Thus, he skipped the most exciting events every day and merely drove back to the hotel out of boredom.

"After a while, I'll go to Los Angeles."

Ke Chen had not found any prey in New York, so naturally, he needed to switch hunting grounds.

To him, having too little prey seemed to be a painful matter as well.

But he did not want to just find someone at random to satisfy himself.

With that thought in mind, he pushed open his hotel room door and saw someone unexpected.

A flashing streak of light landed on his balcony. Captain Marvel, glowing all over, tilted her head slightly as she looked at him, a provocative expression on her face.

The colors of her combat suit had changed. It was no longer that ugly dark green from before, but red and blue, with a large star on her chest.

Ke Chen closed the door, a smile appearing on his face.

"I'm about to leave Earth."

Carol said with a smile, and Ke Chen immediately understood.

After not seeing each other for months, they both missed each other dearly.

Carol had come for one last long-distance workout. How thoughtful of her.

After all, who knew when they would get to play ball together again?

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Carol Danvers, and I'm an Earthling too."

Carol walked toward him and held out her hand.

Ke Chen also extended his hand, shook hers, and said, "My name is Ke Chen."

Then he exerted some force, but Carol did not move in the slightest.

Instead, Carol pulled him over.

Then Carol threw him onto the pickup court.

She had always kept Ke Chen in her heart and had not revealed anything about him to anyone.

Even though Nick Fury had gotten to know her, and they had found the Skrulls together and exposed the Kree conspiracy, in Carol's heart, none of them could compare to Ke Chen, the man who had entered her heart.

Sure enough, the people who understood women best were women. Zhang Ailing's words truly captured it perfectly!

Ke Chen had met Carol first, but no one else could compare to him at all.

Unless someone of the same kind appeared...

But after seeing Ke Chen's fierceness, there probably would not be a second person.

Carol was not the type to fool around everywhere, either.

Feeling Carol's strength, Ke Chen sighed as well. "Now you truly are Captain Marvel!"

Carol smiled faintly and said nothing more.

She had completely mastered her own energy and could perfectly unleash all her strength. Only now was she the true Captain Marvel.

And since she was leaving Earth, she had to leave Ke Chen with a deep impression.

What if he forgot her otherwise?

Thus, even though Ke Chen possessed the physique of a peak normal human, he was still no match for her.

When Ke Chen woke again, it was already the following afternoon.

He stood up and immediately felt weak all over.

Terrifying. Too terrifying!

As expected of the most dangerous woman in the universe.

The main thing was that her physique was simply too good, while Ke Chen was only human.

"Carol?"

Ke Chen called out. Good grief, Carol had copied him this time—she had played the heartbreaker and vanished without a trace.

This was definitely revenge for what he had done last time.

Ke Chen did not mind. He had already enjoyed himself thoroughly.

Just then, he saw a small note on the cabinet.

Good grief, she was still copying him!

It seemed he had hurt Carol rather deeply last time. What a grudge-holding woman.

"By the time you see this note, I will have already left Earth. I don't know which star system I'll be in."

"I left you a pager to contact me. Whenever you need me, you can reach out at any time."

"As long as I'm within range to receive the message!"

Reading the words on the note, Ke Chen smiled.

A pager lay beside it. He picked it up and held it in his hand.

Nick Fury had one of these too, but the conditions for using it were clearly far too strict.

Unless it was a critical moment of life or death, Nick Fury would not dare disturb Carol.

Ke Chen had it so much easier. As long as he needed her, he could contact her.

The question was... what kind of need?

Thinking that, Ke Chen still did not court death by pressing it. Instead, he put it away.

Up in the sky, after personally seeing him put away the pager, Captain Marvel Carol finally turned around in satisfaction.

In an instant, her figure became a streak of light and vanished into the sky.
