Chapter 457 Big Trouble, Sleepyhead Escapes!
Ruiwen, who had just come downstairs, also saw the news broadcast on the TV.
When she heard about the serial murders, she immediately thought of Collins, whom she met last night.
I smelled the strong smell of blood from him.
Raven seriously doubts that the murderer of the serial murders currently being reported is Collins!
The other party once told himself that he was born to kill.
Thinking of this, Rui Wen felt a little regretful.
Next time you see this serial killer, you should kill him directly.
"You look a little bad, Raven, are you okay?"
Peter noticed his daughter's face and walked over to her and asked.
"I'm fine, Dad, maybe it's because I didn't get a good rest last night."
Raven forced a smile on her face and said to him: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went for a walk outside the farm. Maybe it was because I didn't get enough rest."
Raven concealed her meeting with Collins by using the excuse of going out for a walk.
"Are you worried about something?"
Peter heard Raven say she had trouble sleeping and asked her concernedly.
"No, maybe I'm too tired from the battle with Zod. Don't worry, Dad, I'll adjust quickly."
Raven smiled at Peter.
At breakfast.
"A new real estate investor called me today and said that the newly built apartments are ready for sale. I mean the real estate I invested in before."
Carla excitedly mentioned the real estate she invested in while eating.
"Of course renting is also a good option, but you have to pay a management fee, and there may be some changes in the process. The American real estate market is like a mental hospital. You never know what will happen."
"The apartment next door to the apartment I invested in was sold. In fact, it was someone else who made the offer. Those foreigners bought every inch of land in the metropolis. I heard that a Chinese person bought Mephi a few weeks ago. Part of the borough, including Savile Row, but the biggest reason is the previous battle with Zod. The apartments I invested in have also increased in value because the federal government has to pay to house temporarily homeless citizens. "
Kara did not expect that because of the Battle of Metropolis, her originally lost investment seemed to be turning around.
She was worried about how she would face Peter's one million, but she didn't expect that things would turn around now.
Kara couldn't stop talking about this. She said to Rhea: "Raya, when I make money, you can become my secretary."
She wants to ask Rhea to help her and be her investment secretary.
Peter glanced at Kara who was talking nonsense, and said unhappily: "In that case, Kara, you should be grateful to the dead Zod. Although he destroyed countless buildings, he made your buildings increase in value, and you The investment hasn’t been recouped yet, why don’t we just pop the champagne at halftime?”
Rhea is her secretary, is Kara trying to pry her into a corner?
If he hadn't seen someone else at the scene, he would have strengthened Kara and let her know the consequences of trying to pry her into the corner.
First, he took Kara to her original company to collect a debt, and she was completely dead.
"Okay, I'm just suggesting."
Kara said to the stunned Rhea: "If you're not interested, forget it."
Rhea glanced at Peter and Clark, "I think it's better to forget it. I'm not good at these business activities on Earth. I usually do most of the scientific work with Jor Al."
She declined Kara's invitation.
"Aren't you going to eat? Kara, the food in front of you is getting cold."
Peter pointed at the food and the talkative Carla said.
"It's okay, I like my food not too hot."
Kara said she likes her food not too hot.
On the table were mashed potatoes, carrots and chicken.
Persephone looked at the kitchen, "Maybe I can heat it up on the stove. Cold chicken is always bad for your appetite."
"No, thank you, Pol, I can do it myself."
Kara thanked Persephone in a good mood.
Now that one million can be earned back, Kara feels that General Zod is not so annoying.
After breakfast, Peter practiced shooting with Star-Lord in the backyard.
After experiencing the battle with Zod, Star-Lord's combat experience has also increased a lot.
Holding the element gun, Star-Lord shot the glass ball in front of him with a bang.
Putting down the elemental gun, Star-Lord frowned and raised his shot again, but this time he did not hit the glass ball.
"If you are shooting, your posture is not standard, Star-Lord."
Peter stood behind Star-Lord, and while adjusting his posture, he put his hand on Star-Lord's arm, held his hand, and pointed to the tiny glass ball in front of him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Peter held Star-Lord's hand and fired continuously.
All the glass balls placed in front were shot away.
"To shoot accurately, Star-Lord, you must learn to accept the past, focus on the present, and prepare for the next shot. This is not easy because the shooter has a natural rhythm when shooting and needs to adjust within a limited time. Any distraction may cause them to miss the best opportunity."
Peter stood behind Star-Lord, holding his hand and raising the elemental gun.
"Bang!"
The bullet was fired, and another glass ball was shot away.
"But right now, Star-Lord, you seem distracted."
Peter put down his hand holding Star-Lord and asked him, "Is it because of Zod?"
After hearing what Peter said, Star-Lord put down his elemental gun and said hesitantly, "No, it's not like that, Dad. I just don't know how to tell you."
"What?"
Peter asked him, "Who is it about?"
Star-Lord looked into Peter's eyes and finally said to him, "It's Raven, Dad. I saw Raven go out alone last night."
Although he felt that being a "snitch" like Clark was not a good idea, Star-Lord decided to tell his father the truth.
"Raven didn't go for a walk, but went to the next door town of Whit, and I happened to see it."
Star-Lord said with some concern, "I learned about the serial murders in Whit in the morning, and I was worried about Raven's safety, so."
"Uh-huh, are you worried that Raven will be implicated? Star-Lord."
Star-Lord nodded, "Yes, Dad."
"No, it won't happen. Although Raven is young, she is very opinionated, and she knows what she is doing."
Peter has always been quite trusting of his little daughter.
When he was trapped in the Phantom Zone, it was Raven who stubbornly went to Gotham to try to find him back and mobilized all the Penguin people.
Peter was very touched by his daughter's actions.
As his sweet and caring little cotton jacket, although Raven was sometimes impulsive, her love for him as a father was not discounted at all.
"Don't worry, when Raven feels it's appropriate, she will tell us what she is doing."
Peter said and looked towards the living room.
In the living room, Raven was about to go out with Loki.
Raven called Loki out of the farm on the pretext of having something to do.
"You said, the Sandman has escaped?"
Hearing Raven's words, Loki was stunned.
"It was a guy named Collins who said that. I can't be sure because I suspect he is a murderer."
Raven frowned, "So I need you to go to Georgetown to see. If that really happened, it means that Sandman may cause trouble for us at any time."
"Okay."
Loki's face was not good after what Raven said, "If he really escaped, I'm afraid he would come to find his father's artifact first."
What he thought in his mind now was that he would never hand over the artifact.
Otherwise, what would happen to Leila?
Besides, why should I hand over something I got by my own strength?
I had taken Tony Stark's Mark battle suit before, but now I don't see the other party being embarrassed to ask for it from me.
Half an hour later.
The two came to Georgetown.
Standing on the busy street, Loki, who transformed himself into a young man, walked towards the "Sunshine Cafe".
The walls in the cafe are bright yellow, and the sun shines in through the thin curtains like gauze.
In this coffee shop that he hadn't been to for a long time, Loki ordered two cups of coffee, and then he walked to Raven who was waiting and handed her a cup of coffee.
"Why did you summon the Sandman?"
Raven took the coffee and asked him curiously.
"The Book of Magdalene can summon the God of Death. At that time, I was mixed in with that group of warlocks. You know, I didn't know any spells. I made up a spell at random, so the God of Death became the Sandman."
Listening to Loki's explanation, Raven nodded, "This is in line with your personality as the God of Mischief."
"Can I understand that you are praising me?"
"Of course I am praising you, Loki."
"I would be happier if you added a brother after Loki."
Loki said that he wanted Raven to call him brother.
Raven ignored him and walked forward with the coffee.
"This is the trouble you caused for your father."
Soon, the two came to the castle of Mabry Ella.
Loki looked up at the gloomy sky above his head.
In the deserted suburbs, there was only an ancient castle in front of us.
There were a few crows perched on the trees in the distance, making noisy and disturbing calls.
As soon as Riven entered the castle, black and gray came into her eyes.
The castle in front of her was full of death and decadence.
The dark walls that had not been erased by time showed that there had been a fire here.
After the two knocked on the door, an older maid came out.
Loki lied that he was a staff member of the real estate registration office and wanted to consult Mabry Ella about something.
"I'm afraid Mr. Mabry can't see you. He fell into a coma two weeks ago and hasn't woken up yet."
The maid said something that shocked the two.
A few minutes later, standing in front of Mabry Ella's bed, looking at the other party who was breathing steadily but had fallen asleep, the two looked at each other.
Obviously, the sleep demon had escaped, and as a punishment for Mabry Ella, he imprisoned him in his dream.
