Chapter 40 Change

[Famous from Cornell Stokes +25]

Sitting in the small room converted from the storage room, Li Ran raised his eyebrows when he saw the content that suddenly appeared on the data panel.

The name Cornell Stokes is a bit unfamiliar, obviously not a very famous person in the American comic world, but the system shows a lot of legend, even more than what Luke Cage gave him in the barber shop. The number of legendary figures made Li Ran a little confused for a while.

In short, no matter what, it is a good thing to have a legend.

Sitting on the bed and thinking about it for a while, Li Ran immediately gave up this apparently futile approach.

The room transformed from the storage room is not very big. After barely putting down a bed, it becomes even narrower. Simply, Li Ran is not so picky. He just lay on the bed in the moonlight, and soon fell asleep. among.

The cards in the system gave Li Ran extraordinary power, but it did not give him the ability not to sleep.

Besides, he's not Daredevil, or a superhero like the Punisher who takes criminals as his mission at every turn.

No, sacrifice your sleep time to keep New York City safe.

...

The next day, as a chaotic night in Harlem passed.

The sun is here again, sweeping all sins into the shadows.

Just looking at the pedestrians on the road, Harlem seems to be no different from any area in New York City. Of course, the premise is that the obviously broken glass in the Chinese restaurant is ignored. Although the gangster who made trouble last night was solved by Li Ran Yes, but the damage they left behind in Chinese restaurants didn't go away so quickly.

Especially the floor-to-ceiling windows with a huge hole at the entrance of the store. Speaking of which, it is still Li Ran's masterpiece.

Last night, he kicked the gangster out of the Chinese restaurant with one kick. While showing great strength, he also added a little unnecessary trouble to the Chinese restaurant.

It is also a hassle to replace such a large piece of glass, so the Chinese restaurant did not open in the morning, and they needed to deal with the traces of damage left by several people in the store last night.

And Li Ran also relaxed and came to the barber shop near the Chinese restaurant.

The purpose, of course, is for Luke Cage.

"Hey Axing, good morning."

"Good morning."

In the barber shop, Father Henry saw Li Ran walking into the shop, and then nodded and greeted him: "How about it, are you still used to working in Connie's shop?"

"It's not bad." If you ignore the part where he made a great show in the second half, just from the performance of the part-time job in the Chinese restaurant, Li Ran thinks that his performance is not bad, with quick hands and feet, quick response, Hard-working and not complaining, just like the performance of an excellent employee.

"At least, Mrs. Connie is very satisfied with my performance and has promoted me."

Li Ran didn't lie about this, he did get a promotion.

Last night, he agreed to Mrs. Connie, from the original part-time job to the employer of the Chinese restaurant, specializing in protecting the restaurant from the harassment of the nearby gangsters.

"Promotion?"

Somewhat surprised, he turned his head and glanced at Li Ran. Henry looked at his serious expression, which did not seem like a lie, and some wondered: "It seems that you have done a really good job."

It's just how well Li Ran did that he was promoted in just one night.

Henry couldn't help but feel curious.

"By the way, why isn't the Chinese restaurant open today?"

After a brief chat about Li Ran's first day of working in a Chinese restaurant, he was full of questions, and Henry asked immediately.

"Because a few thugs broke into the Chinese restaurant last night,

A lot of things in the store were smashed and needed to be dealt with. "Li Ran explained the reason why the Chinese restaurant didn't open, completely ignoring that a large part of the damage was actually caused by his actions, no, his actions.

Li Ran's answer made Henry in the barber shop and Luke Cage who was cleaning the windows subconsciously stop their movements.

After a few seconds of silence, Henry shrugged and made a helpless expression to Li Ran: "Child, welcome to the real Harlem."

Even if Dad tried his best to maintain the rules in the barbershop and wanted to lead the children in the shop on the right path, he still couldn't change the fact that Harlem was chaotic.

"Harlem, everyone has a gun, and no one has a father."

At the window, the silent Luke Cage spoke and gave the most accurate description of Harlem.

"If that's the case, why don't you stand up and change this place?"

"Change." Facing Li Ran's question, Luke Cage shook his head helplessly, he put away the rag in his hand, turned to look at Li Ran behind him: "Do you know the past of Harlem, chaos and poverty, Countless people die on the streets of Harlem every day. Countless wives lose their husbands and children lose their fathers. That's how Chico's father died. That's how Harlem used to be, and that hasn't changed much now. ."

"The new District Councillor Maria Dillard took office, but she is the umbrella of the water-belly snake, and it is the water-belly snake's subordinate who destroys the Chinese restaurant, so Harlem has never changed, it will only sink, this is Reality. Change, it's not that you just came to Harlem for a day, and it will happen when a foreigner who can't even pronounce the name Harlem casually talks about it."

Luke Cage seems to have a lot to say about Harlem but doesn't.

"Although I am just an outsider in Harlem, I also know that change does not happen out of thin air while sitting at home and waiting. Those street gangsters use violence to affect Harlem, why can't someone use their own methods to stop these Violence, use this to change, if you don't do many things, you will never know the result. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference with salted fish?"

After a bowl of chicken soup, Luke Cage's expression was obviously shaken a little.

Standing aside, Father Henry clenched his fist unconsciously, opened his mouth to look at Luke Cage's appearance, but finally chose to remain silent and handed the choice to the other party.

However, he quickly restrained his emotions and returned to his previous taciturn appearance.

"You don't have to tell me so much, I'm just an ordinary cleaner." He shook his head, picked up the bucket at hand, and planned to go inside.

"No, you're not." He reached out and stopped Luke Cage who wanted to leave. Li Ran looked up at the tall figure and said decisively, "I can feel it, you are not an ordinary person, you are To have someone who can change this place, change the fate of Harlem that you keep sinking into."
