Chapter 2474: The Cape War (39)

~10 min read 1,978 words

Spider-Man, seeing Tang Pusen, clearly trembled. Although he tried hard to puff out his chest, the degree of this bluffing disguise was limited to a high school student. Jason could clearly see that he was afraid.

Jason sighed in his heart. How did this guy manage to be infinitely powerful, able to punch three of him away, but afraid of a football player?

Jason could see from Tang Pusen's attire that he was a football player, possibly a quarterback. This kind of person was a top-tier existence on an American campus, but it was a pity that he lacked a cheerleader girlfriend by his side.

Tang Pusen was indeed very strong, but only strong at the high school level. Jason of the Arkham Knight universe was taller and stronger than most universes.

In many of the game's rival scenes, it could be clearly seen that the Arkham Knight and Batman were about the same height. Some people said that there must be height-increasing insoles in the armored boots he wore, but didn't Batman have them too? Everyone was from the same lineage of technical systems, so don't talk about each other.

And before, the symbiote helped the Arkham Knight strengthen his physical abilities, making him even stronger and more powerful. Still the same sentence, he could block the door of the bathroom where Batman was standing there before, and even made Batman not consider the option of rushing out directly at the first time, which showed how strong he was.

More importantly, Jason's temperament was very fierce. Let me repeat, the old man of the Arkham universe could finish off all the criminals in one night to save Gotham, and could also find the 200+ trophies of the Riddler by the way, and the Arkham Knight could fight such an old man for a whole night. This record was also among the best among all the Red Hoods in the universe, almost writing the four big characters "I am a ruthless person" on his face.

"Oh oh, our poor little Peter is holding a doll... *hiccup! *" The second half of the mockery was stifled the moment Jason walked out from behind Peter. The follower behind Tang Pusen almost choked himself to death.

"Are you Peter's friends?" Jason asked knowingly, still looking Tang Pusen up and down with that very provocative gaze and saying, "His taste is as poor as ever. What do you throw the most, footballs? That kind of weakling who rolls on the ground and cries to the referee to act like a spoiled child when tackled by the opponent?"

Tang Pusen's chest instantly filled with air. This was the instinctive reaction of his attack posture, which would make him look stronger.

He puffed out his cheeks and strode to Jason's front. The two were about the same height, but he wasn't as wide as Jason at all. The closer he walked, the more obvious this gap became.

Jason directly raised his head and laughed, then narrowed one eye to look at Tang Pusen and said, "Do you know? Your two steps just now were like walking a Victoria's Secret show. Compared to holding your arms to pretend to be a bear, if you wore less on your lower body, maybe you could welcome more cheers and applause. After all, you look like the kind of person who is more willing to exercise your butt than your arms..."

Tang Pusen punched out with a bang. Jason dodged backward and kicked out. Tang Pusen was kicked flying directly.

Spider-Man was stunned. He hurriedly blocked between the two and shouted, "No no no, don't fight, this is a misunderstanding, I actually..."

The big guy Tang Pusen, who had been completely enraged, didn't care about this. He rushed directly towards Jason, but because Spider-Man was blocking in the middle, Tang Pusen reached out to grab Spider-Man's arm, wanting to throw him out first.

Spider-Man instinctively pulled his hand back and dodged. Tang Pusen only grabbed the lower half of the teddy bear he was holding. His chest kept heaving with anger. Tang Pusen pulled hard, and with a *rip*, the poor little bear was separated from head to body.

Spider-Man wanted to grab the bear back, so he used force backward. The bear broke, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The rubber duck in his other hand also flew out.

But he couldn't care about so much, and hurriedly climbed up from the ground. At this time, Tang Pusen and Jason were already fighting together.

Tang Pusen couldn't be Jason's opponent at all, but Jason, after all, didn't want to kill anyone. He just wanted to beat this big guy up, let him keep his tail between his legs in the future, and don't always bully people, so the moves were mainly based on suppression.

Tang Pusen wasn't a cover either. Football players emphasize confrontation the most. He directly rushed and pounced, knocking down Jason, who was much stronger than him. And Jason grabbed the moment he fell and lost his balance, his right knee exerted force and slammed into Tang Pusen's waist. Tang Pusen let out a scream.

Immediately after, Jason used force from his waist, wanting to flip Tang Pusen over, but just at this moment, he saw Tang Pusen being hugged by someone.

Spider-Man hugged Tang Pusen's waist from the back, directly lifted him up, stepped his right foot to the side, and his upper body turned violently, directly throwing Tang Pusen out.

Tang Pusen flew out four or five meters and landed heavily on the ground. Spider-Man looked at the result of his own strike and shuddered again, saying somewhat stutteringly: "No, no, no, don't, don't fight... I mean, you can't fight, don't..."

After Tang Pusen climbed up, he looked at Spider-Man in shock. He covered his waist that was still in severe pain and his ribs that were starting to ache faintly, and was carried away by two followers, limping as he ran.

Jason stood up from the ground, but saw Spider-Man pick up the rubber duck and walk over to pick up the teddy bear that had been broken into two pieces.

He held half of the little bear's body in one hand, stood in place with his head down, and remained silent. Jason walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Think on the bright side, he won't dare to bully you again in the future."

"He hasn't bullied me for a long time." Spider-Man pursed his lips and said, "I already said I could run away, and now what have I gained?"

Jason took a light breath. He opened his mouth to comfort Spider-Man, but looking at the messy cotton exposed from the broken part of the torn teddy bear and the 20 dollars that were scattered but spread very flat and folded very neatly that he had snatched into his hand before, he couldn't say anything.

They spent 12 dollars to buy a bear and a duck, and the rubber duck actually only needed 8 dollars, which meant this bear was worth 4 dollars, but the premise was that it had to be an intact bear.

The teddy bear became what it was now and was worth nothing, but their consumption today was still 12 dollars, and the harvest was only a rubber duck that should only be worth 8 dollars.

Is 4 dollars a lot? When this thought first appeared in Jason's mind, he didn't feel anything wrong, and then immediately he began to feel a trace of panic for this kind of thought of his own.

He had understood the weight of every dollar more deeply than Batman and any Robin in the Bat-family, because during his childhood, let alone a dollar, every cent was very important to him, and obtaining it wasn't simple.

The assets of the poor are always better quantified, because every hour of labor will be accurately priced, so when spending money, money will be accurately substituted into an equivalent amount of labor.

Once the value of something becomes the length of life, it will appear more precious, and more pathetic, because you lose it, which is equivalent to you losing a period of life, your labor becomes empty, and you could have taken this time to rest and relax, anyway the result is the same.

For teenagers, they don't substitute their own labor, so for those who can realize this, it makes them feel even sadder, because the people who earned all this for them could have used this period of time to rest well, but now they worked hard, but exchanged nothing.

Jason became a bit uneasy. Spider-Man would definitely be angry. Although he might be angry at Tang Pusen for tearing his toy, he himself was indeed hard to escape blame. If he hadn't provoked Tang Pusen...

Wait! That's not how it's calculated! Jason came back to his senses. Wasn't it that big guy who bullied Peter first? He was just helping Spider-Man fight back.

"Okay, I'll try to see if I can go back and sew it up." Spider-Man said, then he stood at the entrance of the alley and looked back at Jason, saying, "Do you want to rent a house? Although my house really can't sleep, maybe you can make do on my bed for one night first, and go tomorrow."

Jason was caught off guard by the speed of his topic change. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and walked forward shoulder to shoulder with Spider-Man, saying, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry about what?"

"Your doll was broken."

"Well, a little angry, but being angry can't make it recover. I haven't sewn a doll before. I'm thinking about how to connect these two sections, or this is more important."

"Then Tang Pusen..."

"He looks terrible, I don't really want to pay attention to him."

"Then I..."

Spider-Man's movement paused for a moment, he turned to look at Jason, and said, "Ah, I forgot to say just now, thank you for standing up for me."

"But I..."

"I know you meant well." Spider-Man was like a sudden flash of inspiration. He lowered his head and said, "You were afraid I would be bullied, and you were also angry because you heard what I said about Tang Pusen always bullying me before, so you wanted to help me take revenge."

"Of course."

"So you..."

"You misunderstood. I'm a normal person. I was bullied, of course I wanted revenge, but I can't add trouble to my uncle and aunt, and if something really happened, I couldn't afford the compensation, and we couldn't afford it."

Jason opened his mouth again, but the words didn't come out. He had to admit that what Spider-Man said was a fact. The Parker family couldn't afford the medical expenses at all.

Let alone the medical expenses and legal sanctions after hurting someone, just breaking a doll worth 4 dollars in a conflict, Peter would feel heartache for several nights.

It wasn't that 4 dollars was really a lot. Even for Peter, this money wasn't an incredible amount. More importantly, in his view, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. This kind of damage and waste was meaningless.

At that time, if they had run directly, Tang Pusen definitely wouldn't have been able to catch up. At that time, after running through a few streets and shaking him off, they could still go home happily hugging two complete toys, instead of walking two streets away like this, each with their own thoughts, silent and speechless.

Is this result better? Jason began to doubt.

Then what about the anger Peter suffered, the bullying he suffered, does it count for nothing? Just let bad people like Tang Pusen be arrogant?

Jason still couldn't figure it out. ===== CHAPTER 2475 =====
