Sage and Arthur are indeed related, and Sage's grandmother and Arthur's grandmother are sisters, but it's hard to say how close the two families are. After all, Thomas Curry has always sealed himself in the lighthouse. Nian basically never leaves Cien Port, so there can't be much contact with him. read
After all, Cien Port is quite far away from Jiade Town. Geographically speaking, Minnesota is in the middle of the American continent, while Cien Port is in Maine, which belongs to the north of the continent. In the past, a trip had to cross half of the United States, which was quite troublesome. (I previously put Cien Port in Minnesota. It was purely a clerical error. It was written incorrectly and has been changed.)
Saji didn't know much about his weirdo cousin. Only Angel felt it was very romantic after hearing about Thomas Sr.'s love story. He even went there during his high school graduation trip, so he became more familiar with the Curry family.
Although the distance is far, it is naturally not difficult for Kai and the others. Just take a private jet. It just so happened that the family of John Dutton, the largest farmer in Minnesota and even the United States, whom Kay had helped, had a private airport. You could get to Portland, Maine in a short time directly from the Dutton family's private airport. (There are two Portlands in the United States and one in Oregon, but generally speaking, Portland, the City of Roses, refers to Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon is actually more famous, while Portland, Maine Tran, on the other hand, is less famous)
Portland is on the coast of the Gulf of Maine. Walking along the Gulf of Maine, when you reach the U.S.-Canada border, you will reach Port Mercy.
Mercy Harbor is a quite peaceful town, in fact the entire state of Maine is like this, with dense forests and beautiful scenery. Because the state mainly relies on agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fishery, the pace of life is slower than in Minnesota, making it very suitable for vacations.
When Kai and a few girls arrived, Arthur was already waiting for them.
The first time he saw Arthur, Kai felt a familiar feeling from him.
A very subtle feeling.
"Angel!" Because Maine is a northern state, the temperature is relatively cold compared to southern states. Even though it is September and winter has not yet arrived, the weather is still not warm. Today's temperature is still relatively high, but it is still not warm. It's only 23 degrees.
It is estimated that only people in a bitterly cold place like Minnesota would find this kind of weather okay.
The Arthur in front of him was even more exaggerated. He was wearing a small vest, with his strong muscles exposed and covered with tattoos, making him look extremely tough.
But Arthur didn't look ferocious. On the contrary, he looked a bit honest with his big beard.
Arthur quickly noticed Kai. There was nothing he could do about it. A little green among thousands of flowers stood out no matter how he looked at it, especially the girls around Kai were of high quality.
Then Arthur turned his attention to those warblers and swallows.
"Angel, is this your friend? You never said that all your friends are so beautiful!"
Although it's a bit of a tease, at least it doesn't look obscene. It's just a conversation with a beautiful woman. It's too common. At least Kelly and the others didn't have any overreaction. With their appearance, this kind of thing is inevitable. If they worry about it again and again, I don't know how many men will be unlucky.
Angel obviously liked her cousin very much. She slapped Arthur without any care: "Damn it! Don't use your tricks to trick little girls on my friend!"
"Hey! In front of a beautiful woman, be careful what you say. When did I ever deceive someone?!"
Arthur is clearly not a good boy, at least when it comes to sex. Of course, it would be too much to call it a lie. He would rather call it love and affection.
In the eyes of many American girls, Arthur's appearance is very exotic, especially Arthur's appearance and strong body, which are very in line with the current aesthetics, so generally speaking, they don't mind having sex with Arthur. What.
Kelly looked at the eyes that kept looking at him, and simply took Kai's arm to declare his sovereignty.
Kai Dao didn't mind Arthur's gaze too much.
Logically speaking, Kai should mind. It's a pity that these women are more capable than each other, and there is no need for Kai to stand up and show his machismo.
Seeing that Kelly was married to a famous woman, Arthur didn't bother. Instead, he looked at the other three people.
Diana glanced at him sideways, the warning and resistance in her eyes really shouldn't be too obvious. Arthur decisively chose to give up because this woman... gave him a feeling that he was not easy to deal with. And Catherine was still wearing a veil as usual.
To be honest, it is really rare for someone like Kathleen to wear a veil when going out. But there is no way, if she doesn't wear a veil, the scene will be very bad, so this is the only way.
Also because of the veil, Arthur couldn't see clearly what Catherine's expression was.
On the contrary, Natasha not only didn't care about Arthur's aggressive gaze, but was also interested in it.
Well, that's the kind of fun.
This is not Natasha's playfulness, but this is her survival strategy, using her own advantages as much as possible.
This is already instinctive.
"I can help you get the gift."
"Thank you." Natasha smiled brightly and threw the salute to Arthur. Diana, on the other hand, snorted coldly and ignored Arthur at all.
When it comes to feminism, Diana is definitely a radical. Of course, in Diana's view, this is not radical, because this is the normal state of Amazons.
Katherine didn't want to bow, so she said thank you very politely.
As for Kelly, of course Kai helps.
Arthur didn't plan to help Kai move his luggage, after all, he didn't like men.
A group of people soon came to a place called Shanmo Island, which is a natural island around Ci'en Port. In fact, it is called an island, but it is actually a peninsula. → There is a natural and beautiful coastline here. In summer, many Portlanders will choose to vacation on this island, but there are not many people at this time. In autumn, walking on the island will make you feel like you are the owner of the island, and you will really feel the feeling of being in nature. Enjoy this opportunity to enjoy nature alone.
There are mountain trails, tracts of virgin forests, and beautiful coastlines. There are rocky cliffs, reefs, and snow-white beaches.
Arthur had booked a holiday villa for Angel before. Since Angel came with Kai, he naturally didn't need to consider the budget.
Angel ran to the viewing platform on the sea side at the fastest speed. This villa is located on the edge of a cliff. The entire cliff is the viewing platform of the villa. There is also a huge 24-hour heated swimming pool here. There is no problem in holding a party in such a huge space.
"Ah! It's really great! Arthur, why didn't you bring me here when I came last time?"
Arthur also finished his courtesy at this time and walked over.
"Please, both of us are poor! This is not a place for poor people to come." Although Arthur lives nearby, Shanmo Island is not far from his lighthouse, and the straight-line distance is less than three kilometers, but this is a private place, and it is his first time here. As he said, Arthur looked left and right, and whispered: "You are so rich this time, is it because of that rich man?"
Arthur regarded Kai as a rich man who was arrogant and extravagant.
"What rich man! Don't talk nonsense! Kai is my brother's old comrade-in-arms and boss. Although he is indeed very rich." Angel said unhappily.
"I remember you said your brother is a policeman?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then he is also a policeman?"
"Wait...you don't know him?" Angel immediately found the blind spot. She thought Arthur was so cold to Kai at first because he was not interested in superheroes. There are all kinds of people in this world, some like superheroes, and some don't, and there are quite a few of them.
"Do I need to know him? Is he famous?" Arthur really doesn't pay much attention to TV and newspapers. He would rather swim a few more laps in the sea.
"You must have heard of the name Kai?" Angel slapped his forehead.
"Kai...wait...it's not the one I think of, right?" If Kai was still a marginal character in the Battle of Los Angeles, then after the Battle of New York, Kai is definitely one of the protagonists.
"Yes! That's the one!"
"You never said your brother's boss was the Thunderman!"
Well, Thunderman is the new nickname given to Kai by those superhero fans. Originally, the nickname Thor was more suitable for Kai, but Thor appeared and registered this trademark. The Flash was also a candidate, but unfortunately it was registered by the good neighbor in Los Angeles, the Flash, so a bunch of idle guys gave Kai a cool nickname.
Americans... To be honest, they have never been very literary. Look at the nicknames they gave, full of rustic flavor. And full of copycat feeling.
Anyway, Kai never admits these nicknames.
Arthur was stunned. He didn't expect his cousin to go on vacation with such a superhero.
...
The camera returns to New York.
Today, Peter visited the Osborn Group with his three friends, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn and Ned Lizborn.
Originally, this visit should have taken place a long time ago, but unfortunately, a series of things happened, causing the Osborn Group to postpone this visit again and again.
Finally, when the school was closed on Labor Day, the Osborn Group finally agreed to the visit that was supposed to take place a long time ago.
This visit was a science and technology visit organized by Midtown High School, aiming to make students more interested in science. So it was semi-forced, because we had to submit an observation report later, and if we didn't go, the report would be gone.
But because it was a Labor Day visit, many students complained.
After all, high school students are much more interested in video games and pretty girls from the next class than in so-called scientific visits.
But Peter was not like that, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Peter's motor nerves have always been poor, but he is a top student accordingly. He has always believed that science can change his destiny.
After all, in reality, he is thin and short, and his sports are lame, so he is not popular with girls at all.
But who doesn't want to be popular?
His idol has always been Tony Stark.
He dreams that one day he can become popular with his smart brain... So for adolescent boys, science and hobbies are not as important as being popular with girls. It seems that the idol of every technology geek with social phobia is Tony Stark.
But what's interesting is that Mr. Peter Parker, obviously forgot to look around him when he was chasing the dream of "being popular".
Gwen Stacy, the most popular girl in the school, has always been by his side, but he still pursues the idea of being popular with girls... It must be said that his unpopularity with girls is definitely not just due to his poor motor skills and short stature.
"Hey! Gwen! Harry! And Ned! Can you guys hurry up? The school bus is about to leave!"
Harry walked behind with a look of despair on his face. Sometimes he even wondered how he became friends with Peter, a fool. As Peter's best friend, Harry naturally knew Peter's little thoughts, but he couldn't believe it. The most beautiful girls in the school were already by his side, and they kept circling around him, but he didn't see anything from it.
Is he stupid or slow to react? Is it because such a beautiful girl like Gwen is always by his side, because she wants him to be a top student? Because she wants him to worship superheroes all day long?
"Wait for me! I just had diarrhea! Wait for me" Ned Leeds chased Gwen and Harry while holding up his pants.
Ned Leeds, a fat man, Hawaiian, has obvious Hawaiian native appearance. In a sense, he is Peter's most intimate buddy. Compared with Gwen and Harry, they are in the same class. They are all from poor families.
Gwen is not to mention, her father is George Stacy, the deputy chief of the 15th Precinct and a police spokesman, a real second-generation official.
Harry is even more exaggerated, his father is the president of Osborne Group. This can be seen from his last name.
They become friends with Peter, but in many people's eyes, they are not a good match.
Ned Leeds is different. They are both unpopular types, equally smart, equally fond of science.
Well, they also hope to be popular with girls.
By the way, our little Peter's sexual enlightenment was brought to him by the fat boy Ned. This fat boy opened the door to a new world for Peter by illegally downloading small videos from his computer!
Oh, these two little bad guys will also invade the backend of some paid websites and download some bad videos. Peter learned computer technology because of this...
In addition, Ned and Peter seem to have the same slow reaction.
This guy is obviously a little pervert, but he didn't realize that Gwen was interested in Peter.
The three of them quickly met up with Peter and got on the school bus together.
After getting on the bus, the fat boy Ned didn't care about Gwen's intention to sit next to Peter at all, and sat down next to Peter.
Then the two of them started to chatter about the trip to the Osborne Group.
Gwen, who was left behind, was sulking.
Harry covered his face... these two idiots.
He actually suspected from the beginning whether Ned was mentally dark. He didn't want to be the only one who was not popular with girls, so he secretly destroyed the progress between Gwen and Peter. Harry was not a naive person like Peter. Born in a wealthy family, he was also exposed to some of the darkness of society. But as time went by... Harry sadly discovered... this guy was not that complicated at all. Ned, the fat guy, really didn't know!
Maybe in the hearts of Peter and Ned, they never thought that a dazzling girl like Gwen would be interested in Peter.
But for some reason, after Harry understood this, he felt that Peter was even more miserable.
There was no way, Gwen could only sit with Harry. Just like many times.
In fact, it was not Peter and Ned's fault for being slow to react, because most people in the whole school thought that Gwen and Harry were a pair. As for Gwen and Peter getting close, it was entirely because Harry and Peter were best friends...
