John slowly turned his head and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the villa.
Annie was sitting by the fireplace telling some jokes to Kevin, and the warm yellow firelight reflected on their faces.
There are also cookies Lynn baked just now on the kitchen counter, and the sweet aroma of cinnamon and butter fills the air.
If I try to act like a hero and bring those children out, it means that Lynn and Vought International will have to completely break up.
Even if he has invincible power, even if he can burn Stan Edgar to ashes in an instant, Vought International is too huge.
Even if a senior executive is accidentally let go during this process, even if just a little bit of news leaks out, Vought International's huge public relations machine will be activated immediately along with all the capital power.
When the time comes, they will be labeled as terrorists and will be wanted by the entire country and even the entire world.
The supernatural forces and armies hiding in the dark around the world, coveting the research of Vought, will continue to pounce on Long Island like mad dogs.
By that time, this peaceful life will be completely ruined.
Reggie will no longer be able to quarrel with Tommy over a few dollars to wash the car, Annie and Kevin will no longer be able to build snowmen in a safe yard without any worries, and Buddy that stupid dog will also lose its warm kennel covered with soft cushions.
And Lynn can no longer be like now, wearing a comfortable and neat sweater, slowly cooking dinner for them in the kitchen.
They will face endless escapes, battles and troubles.
In order to be an illusory Superheroes, to personally destroy everything that you finally got and that is more precious than life?
John's slightly lowered eyes suddenly raised.
No.
He will never agree.
Fuck heroes and redemption.
He doesn't care how cruel the outside world is, he only cares about the people in this Manor.
If the cost of saving others is to plunge Lynn and this family into eternal trouble and danger, then he would rather watch the whole world burn to ashes.
"What's wrong? Why are you so dazed?"
Lynn watched John's eyes changing constantly, and reached out to pinch his cheeks that were a little cold from the cold.
John Feeling the familiar temperature from Lynn's fingertips, the last struggle in his heart completely disappeared.
He discovered that he was far from being as great as he imagined. He was just a selfish ordinary boy who just wanted to protect his job and family.
"Nothing."
John shook his head, and a bright and clean smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I was just thinking, Lynn, you just said that you would deduct Reggie's pocket money, and you must not go back on it."
Lynn was a little dumbfounded by his out-of-the-box thinking, but still nodded along with his words.
"Of course, I never break my promise."
At this time, Reggie finally climbed out of the big snowdrift on hands and knees.
He was as cold as a sieve being shaken, and he rolled and crawled towards the door of the villa.
"I'm so cold! Annie! Give me a ball of light and bake it!"
Reggie howled and stomped madly into the house.
The wind gradually picked up, picking up the floating snow on the ground and hitting the glass windows, making a fine rustling sound.
The lead-gray clouds are getting lower and lower, and it seems that this once-in-a-decade blizzard will soon come to Long Island completely.
In the evening, the heavy snowstorm that had been brewing all day finally tore apart the lead-gray clouds above Long Island without mercy.
The originally bare branches whined sadly in the wind.
Visibility dropped to less than five meters in just ten minutes.
The whole world seemed to be sucked into a giant white meat grinder.
However, this apocalyptic bad weather was completely blocked by those thickened double-layer windshields.
In the living room of the villa, the fireplace is burning brightly.
Reggie was wrapped in a thick cashmere blanket and curled up in the corner of the sofa like a giant caterpillar.
He was still shivering because of falling into the snowdrift. Even though he was no longer cold, he still shamelessly stayed next to Annie.
"Come closer, Annie, yes, from this angle, you are just like a humanoid fully automatic heater."
Reggie sighed comfortably.
Annie is sitting on the carpet, holding an energy ball with soft golden light in his hands.
This light energy was originally used for destruction, but now she has very finely controlled output power, just maintaining it at a temperature that makes people feel like they are taking a bath in a hot spring.
Tommy was sitting on another single sofa, pressing the game controller quickly in his hand.
Hearing Reggie's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Aren't you a fast runner? The book says that objects moving at high speed will generate heat. You can just go around the house hundreds of times and generate heat through friction. Why do you have to rub Annie's Superpower."
"What do you know? This is a rational use of family resources. Don't use it in vain!"
Reggie stuck out his head from the blanket and made a face at Tommy, "Besides, if I run too fast and set the carpet on fire, Lynn will definitely hang me on the porch to dry."
Just when a few people were making a noise, the voice of Lynn came from the kitchen.
"Get ready to eat and wash your hands."
This sentence is simply more effective than any password.
Reggie instantly lifted the blanket and rushed to the sink in a flash.
Tommy also reluctantly pressed the game pause button and placed the controller on the coffee table.
