Chapter 312: A-Zu's selfishness and love

"You want to bet?"

Kara swallowed the coffee, which she thought had a bitter taste, and turned her head confidently.

"About what? I promised you in advance that you can't default on your debt if you lose."

"Of course not."

Peter's eyes were filled with more confidence than Carla's, "Let's bet on whether Mary McBee will come back."

"Although I'm not that familiar with Mary, I can give it a try."

Kara said proudly: "Do you know where I went some time ago?"

"Where? Didn't you go on a trip to avoid Chloe's entanglement?"

"I went to Las Vegas."

Kara told her whereabouts some time ago.

"Although the urban buildings there are low and ugly, the first thing I saw when I entered the city was a few plastic mannequins with missing arms and legs placed outside the houses. It was like a scene from an American western horror movie. Well, these It doesn’t matter, what matters is.”

She paused for a moment and said to Peter, "The most important thing is, I won money in the casino."

Peter rubbed his chin and asked her, "Can I know how much money you make?"

"Five thousand dollars."

"Did you use your powers?"

"Of course, but this is not a superpower, it is my own ability, the talent of being a Kryptonian."

Peter looked at the proud Kara and fell into silence.

You, a super girl, only made 5,000 yuan in the casino by cheating. You are really addicted to food.

"Okay, I know your record in 'Shame of Krypton'."

Peter brought the topic back to the main topic, "Let's bet five thousand dollars."

"Can."

Kara readily agreed.

Little did he know that Peter was already thinking about the gambling money she earned in Las Vegas.

Kara also wanted to show off her achievements in Las Vegas to Peter, and there was crying from Raven upstairs.

Kara, who acted as the nanny, had to go upstairs to take care of Raven.

night.

Padrick Farm, Clark's return has made the farm a little more popular.

Loki ate the food cooked by Peter and sighed helplessly.

Peter was in charge of making dinner.

Previously, it was Director Fury who was in charge, and then the newly joined Vixen was in charge.

Today the vixen returns to Africa to find her roots, so Peter is responsible for cooking this dinner.

Although Peter was very accomplished in magic, Loki believed that his father did not have any talent in cooking.

"What is this?! Dad."

Loki asked Peter as he looked at the food in front of him.

This was the first time he had eaten such food.

"dumpling."

Peter said to several people in Chinese.

"Dad, you seem to be speaking Chinese."

Under the influence of Peter, Star-Lord also had some knowledge of Chinese. He asked doubtfully: "Is this Chinese?"

"Yes."

Peter explained to several people in English: "This is the dumpling that Chinese people like to eat."

Star-Lord picked up a piece of food dubiously and said doubtfully, "But... I've eaten this kind of thing in a Chinese restaurant, and it doesn't seem to be a dumpling."

Picking up a sticky mess, Star-Lord raised his head and asked: "Dad, is this a dumpling wrapper?!"

Being questioned by Star-Lord in person, Peter looked a little confused and glared at him.

"Eat just eat, so many words!"

After coughing, Peter explained to everyone: "At first I wanted to make dumplings, but I changed my mind. Now I make 'slippery dumpling wrappers', which is very popular in Georgia."

In fact, he wanted to make dumplings at first, but failed.

So I changed it to dumpling wrappers.

Azu and the others looked at the sticky mess and listened to Peter's explanation and didn't want to talk.

Loki looked at Kara, who was breastfeeding Raven, and an idea came to his mind: It seemed that it was urgent to find a wife who could cook for his father.

"Dad, what happened on the farm today?"

Star-Lord forced his attention away from the food in front of him and asked Peter about what happened on the farm during the day.

"A group of mercenaries broke into the farm to hunt down McBee, and then - Azu drove them away."

Peter explained to Star-Lord and others calmly: "But Azu used too much force, and he almost cut McBee in half."

Hearing Peter's words, Star-Lord opened his mouth in surprise, and then looked at Azu. Is Azu so brave?

Being watched by everyone, Azu's expression felt a little unnatural.

"Sorry, Dad, I won't do that next time. I'm just a little angry that they destroyed the farm and scared the cows."

Azu calmly moved the plate containing "slippery dumpling skins" that Peter had picked up for him to the other side.

"I was angry that they destroyed my father's farm and failed to control their emotions."

Clark swallowed the dumpling wrapper with a grimace and said to Azu: "Even if they destroy the farm, John, you shouldn't kill them all."

Azu looked at Clark, "Probably, but dad stopped me in the end, and I didn't hurt anyone innocent."

Clark was still about to say something, but Peter saw that no one was touching the dumpling wrapper, so he picked up another piece and gave it to Clark.

His face instantly became more bitter, and he didn't want to say anything.

late at night.

Azu went upstairs to rest. As soon as he entered his room, there was a knock on the door.

"Clark?"

Azu opened the door and saw Clark standing outside.

"Do you want to share with me what you saw in New York, the other world?"

Azu asked Clark who entered the room.

"If you're interested."

Clark sat down and briefly told Azu about the battle of New York.

"That's pretty cool."

Azu's interest in the Battle of New York was average.

He doesn't care much about other people's lives.

Holding his hands on his waist, he asked Clark: "Regarding the Battle of New York, I guess you must have gained some experience, otherwise you wouldn't come and share it with me."

Clark stared out the window and remembered the scene where he saw Azu almost kill all the mercenaries on the farm today.

He rubbed his chin and said, "From experience, it's probably a reverence for life."

Clark looked at his hands and said in frustration: "I could have saved more people, saved more people from death."

Azu picked up a chair and sat across from Clark.

"I have to tell you one thing, Clark, if those people destroy the farm or hurt my father, I will still kill them, and I will do it again next time, but I will try not to hurt innocent people as much as possible."

Azu said that he had just lied.

"My father said that destiny is about keeping everything in order and moving us towards a destination. Do you understand? For me, that destination is the safety of my father and my family. I don't care about the death and destruction of other people."

Clark frowned and looked at Azu, "Do you only care about Godfather?"

"This is the end of the human race, Clark, don't you understand? Destiny is about people dying, whether you like it or not, but you don't understand, and you keep trying not to acknowledge that those who deserve to die - you Saved them from the edge of the pit."

"And those people standing there watching - fate probably chose them and arranged the death position for these people. You try to keep saving more people, but maybe you will lose more in the end. You can't... You can’t go around doing these things.”

Clark retorted: "But like you said, we all have to find where we are going in life."

Azu shook his head, "Yes, Clark, I think one day you will see that darkness is sweeping towards us like a whole locust, and death will turn into a group of wings and teeth, and it will emerge from this world." Taking away too many things.

People starve, people get sick, people kill each other, and the world goes through these transitional periods where some people are inferior to others, but people are always going to die -- it's an inevitable pattern, because everyone is going to persevere, and some -- —sometimes many people — die. "

"I think you have to see how necessary it is, Clark. You'll see that sometimes in order to fix something, you first have to break it."

"But now, you can't break it, so no matter how many people you save, you're always going to see death, and you can't change the process."

Azu's tone gradually became serious, "So you will always be in pain, and you will also be in pain in the future."

"What about you?"

Clark listened to Azu's words and asked him.

"I don't care about the death of others. I only care about the death of my father and the people around me. Even if Metropolis and Smallville are destroyed, it has nothing to do with me, so I will never suffer for the death of others."

Azu stood up and looked out the window at the cornfields blown by the breeze, "I will never be like you. I only care about the people I love."

Clark: "."

He found that Azu's views on death and destiny were inexplicably similar to those of the Godfather.

The godfather calmly looked at the disappearance of life from the universe, and Azu also believed that this was a necessary passage of fate.

However, Azu's ideas were increasingly different from his own.

Although it cannot be said to be wrong, Azu seems to have completely transformed into a family man.

Clark lowered his head and glanced at his chest.

Even though he is not wearing the armor Tony Stark made for himself, Clark seems to be able to see the letter "S" on it.

The S letter represents hope.

He took a deep breath and said to Azu: "I think you made a mistake, Azu. I will suffer for the death of others, but I care more about the people around me, my godfather, my parents, you, and... I can’t lose Star-Lord and the others.”

at the same time.

On the other side of the world, McBee got off the plane and looked at the desolate airport in front of him.

Is this Africa’s Zambezi? !

She didn't expect that her hometown would be so poor!

I shouldn't have come so directly in the first place, I should have borrowed some money from Peter first.
