The Mutant God in American Comics

Chapter 238 Reliable Channels

After hearing Richard's words, Pietro and Wanda did not speak and immediately shook their heads.

Although they did not sense any malice in Richard, they still could not believe Richard.

Not to mention that they had never seen Richard before.

Just the telepathy and telepathy that Richard had just shown.

It was difficult for the two of them to let down their guard immediately.

"Whether you believe it or not, I am telling the truth."

"As for how I can help you... let's start by improving your life."

After speaking, Richard took out a palm-sized gold brick from the system space and placed it in front of Pietro and Wanda.

"I don't have the currency of Sokovia, so I'll give you gold bricks."

"This gold brick should be able to improve your life very well."

Richard said to Wanda and Pietro.

Looking at the gold bricks on the table, Wanda and Pietro frowned at the same time.

Although they did not trust Richard very much, after seeing the gold bricks given by Richard, their vigilance disappeared a lot.

In the barren Sokovia, a palm-sized gold brick is enough to change one's fate, not to mention improving life.

After looking at each other, Pietro picked up the gold brick.

It's heavy!

Although the gold brick doesn't look big, it weighs much more than he expected.

This is normal.

The density of gold is 2.443 times that of iron.

If it's not heavy, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the gold is fake, and the other is that the gold brick is hollow.

After taking a detailed look at the gold brick and taking a bite, confirming that the gold brick in his hand is indeed real, Pietro put the gold brick down and said to Richard: "Why do you want to help us?"

"There are many reasons."

"Tell me the one you can accept the most, that is, I like Wanda."

"I am a man with normal aesthetics and a healthy body."

"And Wanda happens to be a beautiful woman."

Richard said calmly.

Although they just met today, he didn't intend to hide his interest in Wanda.

There's nothing to hide.

A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman!

After hearing his answer, Pietro and Wanda showed surprised expressions at the same time.

"Are you American?"

Pietro asked Richard.

"Strictly speaking, no."

Richard replied.

"Then which country are you from?"

Pietro continued to ask.

"If you really care about which country I come from, you can treat me as someone from Dongda."

Richard said slowly.

"But you don't look like someone from Dongda?"

Pietro obviously didn't believe that Richard, with his light green eyes and silver hair, was from Dongda.

"Skin color and appearance don't mean anything."

"You look no different from Americans, but you are not Americans, but Sokovians."

Richard replied.

After hearing his answer, Pietro did not continue to ask him which country he was from, but asked about the superpowers he had just used.

Richard did not hide it from them and briefly introduced the telepathy and teleportation he had just used.

Although they witnessed him appearing out of thin air with teleportation and forcibly controlling them to sit down with telepathy, they still showed incredible expressions after listening to Richard's introduction.

This is indeed the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But it is not yet the point where superheroes and supervillains are everywhere.

There is only one well-known superhero now, and that is Captain Rogers Steve, who destroyed Hydra during World War II.

Apart from him, there are no other superheroes now.

After seeing the puzzled expressions on Pietro and Wanda's faces, Richard slowly said: "You don't have to be so surprised, you will also awaken your superpowers in the future."

Can we also awaken superpowers?

Pietro and Wanda looked at Richard with surprise.

"Are you serious?"

Pietro asked immediately.

"Of course it's true."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't come to you."

Richard replied.

"Then when can we awaken our superpowers?"

"And what kind of superpowers will we awaken?"

Pietro continued to ask without any hesitation.

Although he knew what kind of superpowers Pietro and Wanda would awaken in the future, Richard did not intend to tell them in advance.

Some things are better to keep a little mystery.

"You will know when and what kind of superpowers will be awakened."

"Let's not talk about this. I see you just had lunch not long ago."

"How about this, I will treat you to dinner. I just want to taste the local food of Sokovia."

Richard said to Pietro and the others.

After hearing his answer, Pietro and Wanda exchanged glances and then nodded.

After cleaning up the unfinished lunch on the table, Pietro and Wanda took Richard out of the apartment.

After leaving the apartment, Pietro said to Richard: "Let's go and exchange the gold bricks for money first."

"Okay."

Richard nodded.

"I know a reliable channel, follow me."

After that, he took Richard and Wanda to the reliable place he said.

Although Pietro is not very old now, he looks like he is in his early twenties.

But many years of living as an orphan made him get to know many people from all walks of life.

However, he rarely talked to Wanda about these people in the past.

As for the reason, it's very simple, because he doesn't want Wanda to come into contact with these people like him.

Although he has not awakened any super powers at this time, he is just an ordinary ordinary person.

But he still doesn't want Wanda to solve too many dark side things in society.

In his opinion, this is the duty that he should fulfill as an elder brother.

Richard did not know exactly where Pietro went to exchange the gold bricks for Sokovian currency.

However, he didn't care about it at all.

Even if Pietro was going to make a deal with terrorists or Hydra, he wouldn't take it to heart.

With his current strength, no one on earth can be his opponent.

Not just on the earth, even if the scope is expanded to the entire universe, there are not many people who are qualified to fight him head-on.

Pietro led the way.

Richard and Wanda followed him leisurely.

Although Wanda didn't speak, she would turn to look at Richard from time to time, as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

"Ask whatever you want."

Richard said to Wanda.

After hearing his answer, Wanda did not answer him immediately, but fell silent.

After a few seconds, Wanda seemed to have made up her mind and said to him: "You said in the apartment that you had a crush on me, but you have never seen me before."

"Who says I haven't seen you? I've seen you many times, but you don't know it."

Richard replied calmly.

"Where have you seen me?"

Wanda asked quickly.

"I can see some future scenes, and I have seen you in future scenes."

Richard replied.

At this time, he did not intend to tell Pietro and Wanda that he came from another universe, so he just found an excuse.

Although she already knew that he was a super human, after hearing his answer, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on Wanda's delicate and fair face.

More than ten minutes later.

Pietro took Richard and Wanda to a neighborhood with a somewhat bad environment.

Not only are the buildings and sanitation in the neighborhood somewhat poor, but the security in this neighborhood is also not very good.

To put it simply, the neighborhood they came to now was similar to the slums and gang-controlled neighborhoods in New York. Gangsters and homeless people could be seen everywhere on the road.

Arriving here, Pietro, who was leading the way, unconsciously slowed down his steps and his expression became serious.

As for Wanda, she remained silent and paid attention to her surroundings with vigilance.

Compared with the two of them, Richard's expression was as calm as ever.

For ordinary people, this neighborhood is indeed not safe.

But to him, the neighborhood was in no danger.

Even if he stood still and allowed the gangsters around him to attack him, they would not be able to cause any harm to him.

To be precise, I couldn't even get close to him.

After noticing that the gangsters around her were looking at her up and down with malicious intent, Wanda unconsciously moved closer to Richard.

Although Richard has done nothing now, Wanda still feels safer after getting close to him.

Under the watchful eyes of the gangsters, Pietro took Richard and Wanda into an ordinary-looking convenience store.

Judging from the store environment, this is indeed a convenience store.

But unlike ordinary convenience stores, the products here are slightly special.

Common daily necessities, snacks and drinks are also available here.

But in addition to these things, there are also some less normal products on the store shelves.

For example, I don’t know how many hands were circulated, including pistols and rifles with empty magazines, as well as some body armor and sabers, etc.

In addition, the salespersons in the store didn't look friendly at all. They were thick-set, thick-faced burly men, and there was more than one of them.

In the past, Pietro would definitely not have brought Wanda to such a seemingly unsafe place.

But now, because of Richard's presence, he took Wanda with him.

After entering the store, Pietro went straight to the counter, took out the gold bricks wrapped in plastic bags, and placed them on the counter.

"Half is converted into U.S. dollars and the other half is converted into Sokovian coins."

Pietro pretended to be sophisticated and said to the big man at the counter.

Although he tried to stay calm as much as possible, the big man at the counter and other big men in the store still recognized him at a glance as a rookie with no experience.

It is true that gold jewelry is collected here, but no stranger will come to the store with a gold brick to pay back the money.

The big man inside the counter first looked at Richard and the others, then picked up the gold brick on the counter, weighed the weight of the gold brick, and checked the authenticity of the gold brick.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the gold bricks, he said: "If you don't have U.S. dollars, you can only exchange them for Sokovian coins, and you can only exchange them for 200,000 Sokovian coins at most."

What?

After hearing the big man's words, Pietro and Wanda both showed surprised expressions.

Although they were mentally prepared that the price would definitely be lowered, they did not expect that the big man would lower the price so harshly.

The gold bricks Richard gave them weighed two kilograms.

Even if we calculate it at 80% of the current market price, it can at least be exchanged for 150,000 US dollars.

1 US dollar is about 12 Sokovia coins.

In other words, it can at least be exchanged for 1.8 million Sokovia coins.

However, now, the big man is only willing to give 200,000 Sokovia coins.

This is already a question of whether to lower the price.

"Give me back the gold bricks, I won't exchange them!"

Pietro said to the big man at the counter.

After that, he was ready to take back the gold bricks.

However, it turned out that he was still a little naive.

Coming to such a place and showing off his wealth, it is not something he can leave whenever he wants.

More importantly, he is still an ordinary person with no power and no strength.

"It's not up to you to decide whether to exchange or not."

The big man at the counter replied immediately.

Then, he said to the other big men in the store: "Give this kid 200,000 Sokovia coins."

After that, he took the gold bricks and walked towards the room in the store.

However, just after he took a few steps, Richard's voice rang out.

"One more step and you'll die."

After hearing his words, the big man at the counter stopped walking, turned his head and looked at him, and said with disdain: "Boy, do you know where this place is..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Richard's eyes flashed red light.

Heat ray!

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the heat ray.

The laser-like high-temperature heat ray instantly hit the big man's chest, easily penetrated his body, and ended his life.

When the dead big man fell to the ground uncontrollably under the influence of gravity, Richard used his super power of material manipulation to make the gold brick in the big man's hand fly back to Pietro.

"The place you said is not reliable at all."

Richard said to Pietro.

Pietro was about to say something when he saw other big men took out pistols and pointed them at Richard.

"Little...!"

Pietro was about to remind Richard to be careful when he saw the bodies of the big men quickly decomposed and disappeared like smoke.

This...

After seeing this scene, both he and Wanda showed an expression of disbelief.

If Richard used heat rays to kill the big man in the counter, they could understand it to some extent.

After all, the heat rays emitted by Richard's eyes looked like lasers.

Now, the bodies of other big men were decomposed into atoms and disappeared, which was completely beyond their imagination.

"Let's go."

Richard said calmly.

Pietro and Wanda nodded instinctively and turned to leave the store.

After leaving the store, Richard took them out of the block.

After arriving in the downtown area of ​​the city, he randomly found a gold shop and asked Pietro to hand over the gold bars to the gold shop for recycling.

When the clerk of the gold shop prepared US dollars and Sokovia coins, Richard said to Pietro: "When you don't have enough strength, formal channels are better than illegal channels."

"Watch less gangster movies in the future. The real underground world is not that simple."
