Chapter 2509: Battle for the Cloak (39)

Chapter 2483: The Battle for the Cape (39)

Spider-Man obviously shuddered when he saw Thompson. Although he tried to straighten his chest, this kind of bluffing disguise was limited to high school students. Jason could clearly see that he was afraid.

Jason sighed in his heart. How could this guy be so strong that he could knock three of him away with one punch, but he was afraid of a football player?

Jason could tell from Thompson's dress that he was a football player, possibly a quarterback. Such people are top-notch in American campuses, but unfortunately he lacks a cheerleader girlfriend.

Thompson is indeed very strong, but he is only strong at the level of a high school student. Jason in the Arkham Knight universe is taller and stronger than most universes.

It can be clearly seen in many rival scenes in the game that Arkham Knight and Batman are about the same height. Some people say that there must be height-increasing pads in the armor boots he wears, but doesn't Batman have any? They all have the same technical system, so no one should say anything about anyone else.

Moreover, the symbiote had previously helped Arkham Knight strengthen his physical abilities, making him stronger and more powerful. Again, he was able to block the door of the bathroom where Batman was when he went to that station, and Batman did not consider the option of rushing out at the first time, which shows how strong he is.

More importantly, Jason's temperament is very fierce. Let me say it again. The grandfather of the Arkham universe can beat all the criminals to save Gotham overnight, and can also find more than 200 trophies of the Riddler by the way. The Arkham Knight can fight with such a grandfather all night. This record is also among the best among the red hoods in the universe. It is almost written on his face that "I am a ruthless person".

"Oh, our poor little Peter is holding the baby... burp!" The second half of the sarcasm was held back the moment Jason walked out from behind Peter, and Thompson's henchman behind him almost choked to death.

"Are you Peter's friends?" Jason asked knowingly, still looking Thompson up and down with that very provocative look and said: "His vision is as bad as ever. What do you throw the most, footballs? The kind of weak chickens who roll on the ground and cry to the referee when they are tackled by the opponent?"

Thompson's chest was instantly filled with air. This was his instinctive reaction to the attack posture, which would make him look stronger.

He strode in front of Jason with puffed cheeks. The two were about the same height, but he was not as wide as Jason. The closer they got, the more obvious the difference was.

Jason raised his head and laughed, then squinted one eye and looked at Thompson and said, "You know what? The two steps you took just now looked like you were walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Instead of putting your arms up and pretending to be a bear, you might get more cheers and applause if you wear less on your lower body. After all, you look like the kind of person who would rather exercise his butt than his arms..."

Thompson threw a punch, Jason dodged and kicked, and Thompson was kicked out.

Spider-Man was stunned. He quickly stood between the two and shouted, "No, no, no, don't fight. This is a misunderstanding. I actually..."

The big guy Thompson, who was completely enraged, didn't care about that. He rushed towards Jason, but because Spider-Man was in the middle, Thompson reached out to grab Spider-Man's arm and wanted to throw him out first.

Spider-Man instinctively pulled his hand back, and Thompson only grabbed the lower half of the teddy bear in his hand. His chest kept rising and falling with anger. Thompson pulled hard, and with a sizzle, the poor little bear's head and body were separated.

Spider-Man wanted to get the bear back, so he pulled back. When the bear was broken, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the bathtub duck in his other hand also flew out.

But he didn't care about that and quickly got up from the ground. At this time, Thompson and Jason were already fighting.

Thompson was no match for Jason, but Jason didn't want to kill anyone after all. He just wanted to beat this big guy up so that he would keep his tail between his legs and stop bullying people, so his moves were mainly based on suppression.

Thompson was no joke. Football players emphasize confrontation the most. He rushed and pounced, knocking down Jason, who was much stronger than him. Jason seized the moment when he fell to the ground and lost balance, and used his right knee to hit Thompson's waist fiercely, causing Thompson to scream.

Jason then used his waist to force Thompson over, but at this moment, he saw Thompson being picked up by someone.

Spider-Man wrapped his arms around Thompson's waist from behind, lifted him up, stepped his right foot to the side, turned his upper body sharply, and threw Thompson out directly.

Thompson flew four or five meters away and fell heavily to the ground. Spider-Man looked at the result of his attack and trembled again. He stammered, "No, no, no, don't, don't fight... I mean, don't fight, don't..."

After Thompson got up, he looked at Spider-Man in shock. He covered his still aching waist and ribs that began to hurt, and was carried by two followers and limped away.

Jason stood up from the ground, but saw Spider-Man picked up the bathtub duck, and then walked over to pick up the teddy bear that had been broken into two pieces.

He held half of the bear in one hand, lowered his head and stood there in silence. Jason walked over, patted his shoulder and said, "Look at the good side, he won't dare to bully you again."

"He hasn't bullied me for a long time." Spider-Man pursed his lips and said, "I told you I could run away, and what do I get now?"

Jason took a breath and opened his mouth to comfort Spider-Man, but looking at the messy cotton exposed from the broken part of the torn teddy bear and the scattered but flat and well-folded $20 that he had snatched in his hand before, he couldn't say anything.

They spent $12 to buy a bear and a duck, and the bathtub duck actually only cost $8, which means that the bear is worth $4, but the premise is that it must be an intact bear.

The teddy bear is worthless now that it is like this, but their consumption today is still $12, and the only gain is a bathtub duck that should only be worth $8.

Is $4 a lot? When this thought first came to Jason's mind, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and then he began to feel a little panic about his own thoughts.

He once understood the weight of every dollar more deeply than Batman and any Robin of the Bat Family, because in his childhood, not to mention a dollar, every cent was important to him and it was not easy to get.

The assets of the poor are always easier to quantify, because every hour of labor will be accurately priced, so when spending money, the money will be accurately replaced by the same amount of labor.

Once the value of something becomes the length of life, it will become more precious and more tragic, because if you lose it, it is equivalent to losing a period of life, your labor has become empty, and you could have used this time to rest and relax, anyway, the result is the same.

For teenagers, they are not replacing their own labor, so for those who can recognize this, it makes them feel more sad, because the people who earned all this for them could have used this time to rest well, but now they have worked hard but got nothing in return.

Jason became a little uneasy. Spider-Man would definitely be angry. Although he might be angry that Thompson tore his toys, he could not escape the blame. If he had not provoked Thompson...

Wait! That's not how it works! Jason came to his senses. Wasn't it the big guy who bullied Peter first? He was just helping Spider-Man fight back.

"Okay, I'll try to sew it back." Spider-Man said, then he stood at the entrance of the alley and looked back at Jason and said, "Do you want to rent a house? Although my house really can't sleep, maybe you can make do with my bed for one night and go back tomorrow."

Jason was a little caught off guard by his quick change of topic. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and walked shoulder to shoulder with Spider-Man and said, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry about what?"

"Your doll is broken."

"Okay, I'm a little angry, but being angry can't make it recover. I haven't sewed a doll. I'm thinking about how to connect the two sections. This is more important."

"Then Thompson..."

"He looks so lame. I don't want to pay attention to him."

"Then I..."

Spider-Man paused, turned to look at Jason, and said, "Ah, I forgot to say it just now, thank you for helping me."

"But I..."

"I know you mean well." Spider-Man seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration, he lowered his head and said, "You are afraid that I will be bullied, and you are angry because you heard me say that Thompson always bullied me before, so you want to help me get revenge."

"Of course."

"So you..."

"You misunderstood, I am a normal person, I was bullied, of course I want revenge, but I can't cause trouble for my uncle and aunt, and if something really happens, I can't afford the compensation, we can't afford it."

Jason opened his mouth again, but the words didn't come out. He had to admit that what Spider-Man said was true, and the Parker family couldn't afford the medical expenses at all.

Don't even mention the medical expenses and legal sanctions after injuring someone, just breaking a $4 doll in a conflict would make Peter feel distressed for several nights.

It's not that $4 is really a lot. Even for Peter, this money is not a big sum. What's more important is that in his opinion, this should not have happened. This kind of damage and waste is meaningless.

If they ran directly at that time, Thompson would definitely not be able to catch up. When they ran through a few streets to get rid of him, they could still go home happily with two complete toys, instead of walking through two streets like this, each with their own thoughts and silence.

Is this a better result? Jason began to doubt.

Then Peter's anger and bullying are nothing? Just let the bad guy like Thompson be arrogant?

Jason still couldn't figure it out.

Let's play the escape room!
