Chapter 4: Deadpool's Attack
Federal Express?
Lu Chen's expression became a bit strange.
Delivering packages or checking the Water meter—neither seemed like good things, did they?
Moreover, the most crucial point was that his predecessor hadn't bought anything, and his parents were truly both deceased, with no relatives.
He worked hard alone, so who would send him a package?
Could it be… I've been exposed? But it's too fast, isn't it? Is S.H.I.E.L.D. prescient? Or the Ancient One?
No, if the Ancient One appeared, she wouldn't bother with concealment; she would just show up directly and pin someone to the ground.
"System, is it possible that the Ancient One has sensed something?" Lu Chen was still uneasy and asked the System in his mind.
"The System has concealed the Host, and this extends to space-time; there is no possibility of being discovered!"
"System, you're awesome!"
Lu Chen exclaimed inwardly once more, but…
Was it really Federal Express?
Lu Chen had a thought in his mind.
"Lu Chen, it's me!"
Outside the door, a mischievous voice rang out.
Lu Chen: "…"
You bastard!
Without a word, Lu Chen opened the door, dragged the mischievous guy inside, and gave him a good beating.
After one minute, Lu Chen finally ended it, feeling refreshed.
"Satisfying!"
Looking at the humanoid object on the ground, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't been exposed!
Actually, it made sense; how could he be exposed so easily when Lu Chen hadn't done anything yet? How could it be possible?
It was all this guy!
After venting properly, Lu Chen finally began to pay attention to the guy in front of him. And, well, it was an acquaintance, wasn't it?
The person in front of him was named Wade Weston Wilson!
In other words, Deadpool!
Looking at the guy's appearance and mischievous expression, Lu Chen was very certain.
Deadpool hadn't yet transformed into his later appearance; he was still very handsome, in his previous form, without cancer, and without special treatment.
Mainly, he looked very much like a certain celebrity.
"Although you were once my best partner, if you do this, you will lose me and receive a lawyer's letter from my lawyer!" On the ground, Wade lay 'seductively,' speaking to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen: "…"
The scene was truly beautiful!
Lu Chen really wanted to vomit!
So, Lu Chen dragged Wade and beat him up again.
Two minutes later!
"Did you eat some special fertilizer recently? You're so strong now?" Wade, with a bruised and swollen face, looked at Lu Chen and asked strangely.
He wasn't someone who would just take a beating without fighting back.
When Lu Chen was beating him, he struggled, wanting to resist.
However, even though Wade resisted with all his might, it was useless. Lu Chen beating Wade was like a father beating his son.
"Speak, why are you here looking for me!" Lu Chen felt satisfied again and said.
"Well, I just came to see you, really!" Wade said earnestly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I know you. Hurry up and tell me, or get out!" Lu Chen said irritably.
Wade chuckled awkwardly.
After a while, he said, "Actually, I came to ask for your help!"
"What help can I give?"
"You can help with a lot! As the overlord of Hell's Kitchen, you naturally…"
"That was two years ago; that's old news now!"
Lu Chen wasn't pleased with the flattery and spoke to himself.
This was also a fact!
"You're not doing it anymore? Didn't you do it very well before?" Wade asked in surprise.
A few years ago, Lu Chen's predecessor, in Hell's Kitchen, using some connections and channels left by his parents, was considered a notable figure, someone with a minor position. He maintained his parents' business and provided some assistance to people.
To put it simply, he provided various forms of help, acting as a rather special intermediary, especially offering opportunities and information to certain individuals.
Because this was truly rare in a place as sinful as Hell's Kitchen, many people came seeking him out.
He and Wade met during this time!
At that time, Wade had also just retired not long ago, his emotions were at a low point, and he had some psychological issues. He was somewhat disgusted with sinful activities, so he got involved with Lu Chen's predecessor.
With Lu Chen's help, he specifically assisted vulnerable groups like women suffering from domestic violence and ordinary people being bullied in seeking justice, and incidentally helped elementary school students with their homework. High school homework was a bit too challenging, so he didn't take those on.
During that period, they got along really well and formed a strong alliance.
Later, Wade left, and their arrangement temporarily ended.
Even later, Lu Chen stopped doing this line of work due to some subsequent events.
