"Haha."
Hearing Jack's words, Issou laughed again,
She said,
"Is there anything scarier than a ghost in the world?"
"Of course there is." Seeing Issou like this,
Jack, of course, knew that she thought he was joking,
But as God's witness, what he said was the truth, okay?
He looked at the black-haired girl and said,
"It's your boss and your boss's cat (weapon)."
Thinking of what Chiasma had been through at the Winter Soldiers' place for the past few days,
Jack wanted to shed tears of sympathy for his boss.
In the past, he didn't know why such an important asset like the Hydra, the Winter Soldiers, could only be supervised by Chiasma. Now that he knew, it must be because his boss could take a beating, right?
Chiasma: "...???"
You let yourself go as soon as you arrived at "My Chinese Restaurant", right?
However, Chiasma could take a beating at the Winter Soldiers' place,
It didn't mean that he could take a beating at Chiasma's place. Thinking of what had just happened,
Jack knew very well that —
If the Winter Soldiers insisted on not changing his mind,
Then Chiasma would definitely take the risk of being beaten up by the Winter Soldiers to stop him.
Hmm.
After he stopped him, it would be his turn.
Thinking of how Chiasma and the Winter Soldiers had been sparring (being beaten up) for so many days, if it were him sparring with Chiasma...
Jack: "..."
I feel like I might be finished.
Issou, who didn't know that Jack was crying tears of sympathy for himself in his heart, heard him say "Boss's cat",
She immediately thought of her own Jarvis Meow,
Not only was it cute, but it was also easy to stroke,
She felt that she might be the happiest poop-picker in the world.
However, since her cat was different from other people's cats,
Therefore, Issou felt that if she said that the cat master was super easy to raise or something,
It would probably be considered easy for her to talk, right? As for the Boss,
Issou said that he was his boss.
Therefore, when Jack said that the boss and the boss's cat were scarier than ghosts, they were all shocked.
Issou could not empathize.
So in the end,
Issou could only give him a helpless look. She said honestly, "Sorry, I haven't met my boss or his cat yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Issou saw Jack look at her with a strange gaze. She asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? "
"No."
Jack shook his head and said, "I just want to say that if you were to encounter my boss and his cat (weapon), your life would definitely be much better than mine."
Issou was puzzled. "Why?"
Jack said, "Of course it's because the Chinese food you cook is delicious."
Thinking about Winter Soldiers, who was turned into a foodie by Issou's cooking and never returned, and thinking about Chiasma, who initially scoffed at the food in "my Chinese restaurant" and risked being beaten into a fool by Winter Soldiers to steal food from his bowl …
Jack felt that if he had Issou's cooking skills, he would definitely have a permanent exemption from death.
Of course, Issou did not know that the boss and his cat Jack was talking about were Chiasma and Winter Soldiers, but after hearing what he said, she smiled and said, "So your boss is a foodie?"
Jack nodded. "Yes."
In fact, the boss's cat was more of a foodie.
"Then you should cater to his tastes." Issou gave him a kind suggestion. "Recommend more delicious food to your boss, maybe he …"
At this point, the black-haired girl paused for a moment. "It's him, right?"
Because Jack did not say anything, Issou did not know whether his boss was a man or a woman.
Seeing Jack nod, she continued, "Maybe he won't be so fierce to you."
Hearing Issou's words, Jack said, "After eating the Chinese food you cook, I wouldn't dare to recommend other food to my boss (and Winter Soldiers)."
Jack swore that if he dared to use other delicious food as lunch in "my Chinese restaurant", even if it was really delicious, he might be beaten into a fool by Winter Soldiers and Chiasma.
After all, no matter how delicious the food was, it could not compare to Issou's cooking. It was like magic. If other food could heal, then Issou's cooking could double the healing effect (or even more).
"You're exaggerating." Issou could not help but laugh. "Besides, we don't open every day. Where do you usually go to pack lunch for your boss?"
Jack shrugged at Issou and said, "Whenever this happens, I try my best to avoid appearing in front of my boss."
"Haha, what about a few days ago?" Issou and the others did not open for business for several days. She said, "Don't tell me you don't appear in front of your boss for several days?"
In fact, Issou was just saying this casually, but after she said this, she saw Jack nod silently.
Issou, "..."
Then why didn't your boss fire you? You really love him.
Jack, "..."
His true love was obviously the Winter Soldiers.
"That's why I rushed over to pack lunch when you're reopening today." Jack took a look at the menu and glanced at today's dishes. He could not help but say, "Can I look forward to the day when you can pack unlimited food here?"
"You can look forward to it." Issou held back his laughter. "Just don't get your hopes up."
As soon as she said this, she saw Jack's gloomy expression. She burst out laughing and said, "Since you think it's not enough, why don't you just bring your boss here to patronize us?"
My Chinese Restaurant had a limited number of takeaways. It was not hunger marketing, but simply because she was the only head chef here. Even if she hired the chopping block to help, she would not be able to cook for ten people.
In addition, takeaways were different from eating on the spot. If you ate in a Chinese restaurant, every dish was cooked and eaten on the spot. It was guaranteed that every dish (except for the cold dishes) would be hot.
However, takeaways were different. If there were too many takeaways, it was very likely that the first dish would not be hot after the last dish was packed. Therefore, for various reasons, Issou stipulated that if they wanted takeaways, they had to limit the number of takeaways.
Hearing Issou's words, Jack sighed. He sighed and said, "I want to, but... Well, it's not convenient for my boss."
After all, it was not only ordinary diners who patronized My Chinese Restaurant. Many superheroes were also regulars here, okay? As a Hydra, if Chiasma dared to come here directly, who knew if he would be unlucky enough to bump into those superheroes one day?
Jack Nissen, who was also a Hydra, was speechless.
Fortunately, he was able to keep his identity a secret.
He also needed to keep his identity a secret, but as a superhero, The Flash Bari Allen was different from Jack. After all, he was just like most superheroes who did not show their faces. He just did not want his identity as a superhero to affect his life as an ordinary person.
Clark Kent also had the same idea. This reporter from the Daily Planet was actually a member of the Justice League, the patron saint of Metropolitan-
Superman.
However, as Superman, Clark was as dazzling and eye-catching as he was. As a reporter, he was as ordinary and low-key as he was.
At this time, this ordinary and low-key reporter was on the way to My Chinese Restaurant with his teammate Bari, who was also hiding his identity. He said to him, "When we get to the Chinese restaurant later, Clark, don't let anything slip."
"What slip?"
Like the other members of the Justice League, Clark had already learned about Issou from Bari and Diana (and even Bruce), as well as her delicious cooking skills that made people want to swallow their tongues.
Therefore, when he learned that the Daily Planet was going to send someone to New York to interview Iron Man Tony Stark, Clark enthusiastically signed up and finally won the spot with his own strength.
The editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet was speechless.
It was mainly because Tony Stark was too difficult to deal with. All the reporters sent out had returned empty-handed. Thus, he only hoped that Tony would treat him differently because Clark had interviewed his CP Bruce Weyne alone.
Tony, who did not want to be a CP with Bruce, was speechless.
Bah!
Of course, outsiders did not know about the relationship between Tony and Bruce, but how could Clark and the others not know about it? Besides, in addition to being a reporter who had interviewed Bruce Weyne alone, Clark was also Superman, who teamed up with Batman to fight monsters.
Based on the above two identities, Clark felt that Tony would indeed treat him differently.
However, Clark still enthusiastically signed up, mainly because Diana gave him a tip. As long as he went to "my Chinese restaurant" to buy some delicious food before visiting Tony, it would be fine.
What?
Would the famous Iron Man choose to succumb to Clark's temptation for a bite of food?
…
…
…
You might not believe it, but he would.
After Bari learned about this, he naturally went with Clark. However, he remembered that he had not exposed his identity to Issou yet, so he had to remind Clark in advance.
Bari explained, "Issou doesn't know that I work in Central City yet."
"They don't know?" Clark looked at Bari and said, "I thought they just didn't know that you're The Flash?"
When Bari heard Clark's words, he was helpless. He said, "I really didn't want to hide this, but I used to go to Issou's place almost every afternoon."
Even though the transportation system was developed and it was indeed very convenient to travel from Central City to New York, but …
A person who worked in Central City! God! They were all going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in New York. Needless to say, people would be suspicious if they said it out loud.
"Okay." Since Bari said so, Clark naturally remembered this and would not let it slip. However …
"Didn't you go to eat with Mr. Stark and the others before? No one doubted your identity? "
"Don't worry." Bari said, "At that time, it wasn't just me, Bruce, Peter, and the others. There were so many of us, and Issou only knew that Mr. Stark was a superhero."
Actually, everyone at the table knew about it. Su: "…"
Bari, who did not know that he had been exposed, said to Clark, "So don't be nervous, how can an alias be exposed so easily?"
Clark heard this and said, "That's good."
However …
When Clark and Bari went to "My Chinese Restaurant" and met Issou and introduced themselves to her …
Yes.
If the alias was not invisible.
If Bari and Clark could hear it.
Then, they would definitely hear a "pa" sound at this moment, and then their aliases would really fall apart.
However, just because Bari and Clark could not hear it did not mean that Issou could not hear it. When Clark introduced himself to her, "Hello, my name is Clark Kent", Issou's mind was filled with —
Mr. Superman, your alias is going to turn into a butterfly and fly away.
"Hello."
Izu, who was used to many superheroes who needed to disguise themselves, introducing themselves to her, looked nonchalant even as she watched Clark's disguise shakily peel off his body and fly away as if it had wings on its back.
She held his outstretched hand and smiled at him. "My name is Issou."
After getting to know each other, Issou pretended not to know and asked, "Do Mr. Kent and Bari work together?"
"Just call me Clark." Although he had the terrifying ability to destroy the earth, Clark also had a strong sense of justice and compassion in his heart. This made him look like a kind-hearted person when he was Clark Kent.
Because he was wearing special black-rimmed glasses, Clark looked like an ordinary person. But when he smiled, he gave off a gentle aura that didn't contain any aggressiveness.
He answered Issou's question honestly. He said, "I'm a reporter from Daily Planet, and I'm good friends with Bari."
Hearing Clark's words, Issou nodded. Then he heard Bari say, "Clark came to New York this time to interview Mr. Stark, but Issou, as you know, Mr. Stark is not so easy to get an appointment, so..."
The superhero, who was already familiar with Izu, gave her a look that said, "You know what I mean."
Oh.
Got it.
Hearing Bari's words, how could Issou not know what he meant? But...
The black-haired girl's eyes swept over Clark. When he was Superman, he wore a uniform and a red cloak. He was undoubtedly handsome and dazzling like a god descending from the heavens.
But when he was Clark Kent, he wore black-rimmed glasses and an outdated plaid shirt. He also had a simple and rustic aura that did not fit in with the big city. It made him look like an honest and conscientious man who only knew how to bury himself in hard work.
Therefore, he planned to take some delicious food from "my Chinese restaurant" to bribe Tony. This kind of backdoor operation really didn't seem like something he would do.
So after Issou looked at Clark, his eyes fell on Bari. "You taught Clark, right? Bari. "
Looking at Izzo's "bad example" eyes, Barry knew that he could eat whatever he wanted, but he couldn't take the blame. He quickly said, "It's not me, it's Diana who taught me."
Hearing Bari's words, Issou raised his eyebrows. Well, since Diana taught him, it wasn't bad. It should be said that...
Imparting some social experience?
Bari: "...???"
This was very different treatment, okay?
Issou asked, "So you're here to pack today?"
"Of course not." Bari shook his head and said, "Of course we're here to eat. It's not too late to pack for Mr. Stark after we finish eating."
Clark nodded. Although he was in New York for a business trip, he wanted to come to Issou's restaurant to try the food she cooked. That was why he enthusiastically signed up and won the opportunity to interview Tony Stark.
Therefore, completing the mission was important. But since they were at "my Chinese restaurant", Clark naturally had to try Issou's Chinese food first.
"At this time..." Issou glanced at the time. Their afternoon market was about to end, so if he waited for Clark and Bari to finish eating and then packed for Tony …
"Are you planning to treat Tony to lunch?"
Hearing Issou's words, Bari smiled at him. His smiling eyes and slightly drooping eyebrows made his smile look very cute. He said, "Issou, do you think Mr. Stark will care if it's lunch, dinner, or even an afternoon meal if we pack your food?"
Issou: "..."
Wow.
He's so good with words.
#
After they ordered, Issou turned back to the kitchen. Clark suddenly remembered something, "Bari, do you know Diana?"
"What?" When Bari heard Clark's question, he turned his head and looked at him strangely, "Of course I know Diana."
He paused and asked, "Uh, aren't you asking about Diana Prince?"
"Yes." Clark said, "It's her. I mean, does Issou know that you know Diana?"
Bari: "..."
This was a good question.
Issou knew Bari and Diana, but this did not mean that Bari and Diana knew each other.
Similarly, Bari had eaten at the same table with Tony, Bruce, Peter, and Ned. Diana had also eaten at the same table with Tony, Bruce, and the other Avengers. However, this did not mean that Bari and Diana, who had eaten at the same table, had eaten at the same table.
So...
"Emmm, should he know?"
Bari was not sure. He remembered that Issou did not suspect anything just now. Instead, he said, "Maybe it's because Diana and I both know her and Bruce, so Issou also thinks that Diana and I know each other?"
"Don't think too much." Bari poured a cup of tea for himself and Clark, then said, "Do you think we'll be exposed so easily?"
Issou: "..."
It was very easy.
Bari continued, "Besides, Bruce also ate with Diana and the other Avengers. Was he exposed?"
Issou: "..."
He had been exposed.
If Issou heard what Bari said to Clark, he felt that the face of the Justice League's mascot might be a little swollen.
Bari, who did not know that every word he said was like a slap in the face, said this to Clark. It was not because he was magnanimous, but because he simply felt that it was okay for Issou to know that he was The Flash. After all, he trusted him.
However, to this day, Bari was still hiding the truth from Issou, not because he was lying, but because...
He did not know Issou as Wonder Woman from the beginning like Diana, and now he could not just run up to Issou and say that he was The Flash for no reason.
Therefore, he could only continue to interact with Issou as Bari Allen. As for whether or not he would be exposed in the future, he did not care too much.
However...
Having said that, Bari did not expect the so-called "future" to come so soon.
When Clarice and the others served Issou's first dish, the bright-colored chicken fillet, to the table, the alluring aroma attracted Bari and Clark, and they were no longer in the mood to think about what had just happened.
As a dish stir-fried with white sauce, the centuries-old chicken fillet looked, smelled, and tasted good. Clark and Bari both put their chopsticks into their mouths.
The meat of the young chicken was tender and fragrant, while the fresh shrimps were smooth and juicy. When the two were chewed, the Huai Mao sweet noodle sauce absorbed in them was released all at once. In addition to the freshness of the two foods, there was also a trace of mellow sweetness.
After Bari and Clark tasted the salty and sweet chicken fillet, the second dish, the appetizing steamed beef with rice flour, was served.
Compared to the chicken fillet, the steamed beef with rice flour was much more intense. Clark and Bari each put a piece into their mouths.
Before he could bite into it, the spiciness of the chili powder and crushed Sichuan pepper sprinkled on it while it was still hot felt like it was going to choke him. He bit into it and tasted the fragrant rice noodles on the outside. Then, he continued to bite down and bit into the fresh and tender beef inside.
When it was carefully chewed in the mouth, one could even taste the black pepper that had been crushed together with the rice noodles, as well as the soy sauce, five-spice powder, and other condiments that had been absorbed from the beef, which was fat and lean, and mixed together to form a sauce.
After stuffing their mouths with the spicy aroma, Clark and Barry could feel their bodies heating up due to this spicy aroma. At this moment, they no longer had the time to think about whether or not they were wearing a disguise, or whether or not they were being exposed. Their minds were filled with the delicious food being served to them one after another.
Because of this, when Bari noticed that someone was eating their food, he reflexively grabbed the other party.
Pietro, who was eating secretly: "…???"
How, how, how did he catch him!?
Bari, who was accidentally exposed: "…!!!"
