American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers! - Chapter 913: The Injustice Association Lurking in the Town

"Mr. Padraic!"

Courtney was surprised to see Peter here.

My heart, which had been tense for a long time, has finally been completely released.

She ran towards Peter quickly, her eyes shining with excitement.

Peter said smiling at him.

Of course, he saw Star-Lord and the man in black escape just now.

Although the man in black robe who was fighting with Star-Lord and trying to steal the Star Staff concealed his figure and appearance, Peter recognized the other person as Tom at a glance.

This guy is quite good at disguising himself, hiding his true identity from others.

And these two naughty kids ran really fast. The moment they noticed me, they fled the scene at the fastest speed.

These two naughty kids probably wanted to refuse to admit anything unless they were caught in the act.

"Uh yeah, I know, I dropped it here by accident."

Courtney explained a little embarrassedly.

If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have fallen off the Star Staff and been attacked by the man in black robes.

"Sir, you... did you come here on purpose to save me?"

Courtney asked, somewhat touched.

She thought Peter saw that she was in danger and came to save her.

Nodding, he said in a vague tone: "You can understand it that way."

Then he held out his hand to Courtney and said, "It's not safe here. I'll take you home."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Padraic."

Courtney reached out her hand gratefully and held Peter's warm hand.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Standing next to Peter, Courtney bit her lip, looked at him expectantly and said, "I'm ready."

Seeing that Courtney was ready, Peter left the ground with his feet and slowly flew into the sky.

Courtney was a little nervous at first, but when she thought about how she had just flown above the clouds with the Star Staff, her emotions gradually calmed down.

The lights under my feet gradually became dimmer, and the beautiful scenery of the entire town was in full view at this moment.

Courtney felt that this was a completely different feeling from riding the Star Staff.

After secretly glancing at Peter's profile flying in the air, Courtney felt a little sorry for Pat.

I wish Mr. Patrick was my biological father.

Standing at the door of the tire factory, looking at Peter and Courtney who were already walking away, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Bending down, Brainwave picked up a student ID from the ground.

"Courtney Whiteman, Smallwell High School."

He read out Courtney's information on the student ID.

The photo on the left side of the student ID card has been burned, and it is impossible to tell what the original owner looked like.

Putting his student ID away, he narrowed his eyes and repeated Courtney's name.

Dugan House.

Hearing a knock on the door, Barbara went to open it.

Because she was afraid of being scolded, Courtney always hid behind Peter.

"Peter!"

Barbara made a sound of surprise when she saw Peter appear.

Dugan, who heard his wife's voice, hurried over.

"Courtney?"

Barbara looked at her daughter in shock.

"When did you go out?"

"I felt a bit bored, so I wanted to go out for some fresh air. I ran into some hooligans with bad intentions. It was Mr. Padrick who saved me."

"Is that right?"

Barbara looked at Peter in surprise.

She had some doubts about whether what her daughter said was true.

After all, such a coincidence is a bit outrageous. First, it was Peter who saved himself, and then Peter saved Courtney.

Peter did not expose the other party and said to Barbara with a smile.

After getting Peter's confirmation, Barbara excitedly went up to him and hugged him.

"Thank you so much, Peter!"

Pat looked a little depressed as he watched his wife and Peter hugging each other.

Barbara suppressed her excitement and introduced Peter to Pat.

Although Pat was unhappy, he could only hold back his emotions and shook hands with Peter politely.

"Of course I know Mr. Padrick. He is a famous person in Smallwell Town."

"I am very honored."

Peter went into the house and talked to the Courtney family for a while, then said goodbye and left.

After seeing Peter off, Barbara was about to talk to her daughter when Pat came over and said to her, "Barbara, I want to talk to you about Peter Patrick."

"What's up with him?"

Barbara asked in surprise.

"Dangerous? I don't think so. He saved me and Courtney. How could such a person be dangerous?"

Barbara thought there was something strange about her husband.

"I know, but he's not an ordinary person."

"Whether he's an ordinary person or not, he saved us, Pat. I think you seem to have some problems with Peter."

"No, of course not."

Pat immediately denied it.

"Then I don't want you to look at them with tinted glasses. I know there are some bad rumors in this town, but I believe that they are slanders from a small group of people with ulterior motives, Pat."

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you, I don't have anything bad to say about him."

The two of them parted on bad terms.

at the same time.

A single-family home in the small town of Smallwell.

Joey, who is also a high school student, tiptoed carefully upstairs.

Joey walked out in his pajamas and pushed open the door of his parents' bedroom with a creaky sound.

Feeling nervous inside, he walked carefully to his parents' bedside.

With a "boom", a flash of lightning flashed outside, followed by a rumble of thunder.

"dad."

His wife, who was sleeping next to him, also opened her eyes.

William Zarick is a councilman of Smallville Town. He is a light sleeper and wakes up at the slightest noise.

William Zarick put on his glasses and asked his son, "Joey, what happened?"

"It seems like someone is coming in from outside."

He got up from the bed and said to the somewhat uneasy Joey, "Don't leave here and take good care of your mother."

After putting on his clothes, William Zarick came down from upstairs.

What caught his eye was Brainwave sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Councilman William Zarick, you have been very active recently and seem to have become a celebrity in this town."

He was shocked to see brain waves appear in his own home.

"Why did you come here? I told you that I will no longer be involved in what happened before, and you should not come to me again. You know how terrible the Padrick family is. If they find out that we are hiding under their noses, do you know the consequences?"

Brainwave stood up, looked at Councillor William Zarick and said, "You look so timid now that no one would think you are the Warlock."

He walked slowly towards William with his hands behind his back.

"I've said before that I've already quit that organization and don't want to have anything to do with you. If you come over here again, I'll kill you!"

Brainwave didn't take the warlock's threats seriously, "William, we are in trouble."

As he said this, he handed the student ID in his hand to the warlock, "This girl has the Star Staff in her hand. This is a huge threat to us."

The warlock looked at the student ID and asked him, "Where did she get the star staff?"

Brainwave shook his head, "We need to inform the others and let them prepare."

The warlock disagreed.

He shook his head and refused: "No, I won't do that unless I know what's going on."

Brainwave looked at him in surprise, then activated his superpowers to read the other person's thoughts.

"Yes, don't bother me anymore. If you want to do it, do it yourself. Now, get out of here."

The warlock ordered Brainwave to leave.

Brainwave was unmoved and said in his mind: "I know what you are thinking. You plan to take your children and wife and leave this town. You are afraid of Padrick, right?"

Seeing Brainwave reading his thoughts, the warlock immediately pulled out a wand and pointed it at him.

Henry shook his head and stood up. "We can't leave here because our plan will be held in the town. For the sake of our family, we can't leave! The New American Project is our mission! This town has meteorites and various superpowers. It's the best place! Do you understand?"

The warlock swallowed and nodded subconsciously, pressured by the other party's momentum.
