Chapter 118 Newcomer
Hodge looked at Brian with a fanatical look and felt ashamed.
His sister Elizabeth was obviously dissatisfied with his younger brother's behavior in front of outsiders, and gave him a thrill of joy with his teeth.
Then he smiled at Hodge apologetically and said, "Don't mind, he has always been so inappropriate."
Hodge smiled and shook his head, then turned his attention back to his computer. After all, he was not a tourist attraction in London.
"By the way, aren't you going to catch a plane?"
Although he turned his attention back to the computer, Hodge did not forget what the siblings said before. While searching for information, he asked casually.
After being reminded by Hodge, the siblings were stunned at first, and then the siblings suddenly stood up from their seats. Elizabeth scolded him with dissatisfaction: "Brian, it's all your fault. We have missed the plane!"
Elizabeth pointed his finger at the time on the screen of his phone and looked at his younger brother with an angry look on his face.
Brian opened his mouth and looked stunned. He could not say a word when he looked at Elizabeth with his teeth and claws, so he could only accept Elizabeth's accusations.
Although he secretly complained in his heart that if it weren't for you, we were already on the journey now, he would never have said this sentence, and he looked even more aggrieved on his face, and he looked like I knew I was wrong, and he lowered his head to accept Elizabeth's accusations.
Hodge, who was sitting aside, looked at Brian's smile with a smile, and couldn't help but admire him. It was a waste of his talent if this kid didn't become an actor.
It seemed that Hodge's gaze was noticed. Brian lowered his head and secretly blinked at Hodge while Elizabeth was not paying attention. Hodge was speechless.
No longer paying attention to this weird sibling, Hodge was attracted by a message on the computer.
This is a report three months ago. The content is that a worker in a container yard accidentally dropped his phone while making a phone call and fell off the seventh floor. As a result, it suddenly disappeared at the moment it landed.
At that time, many workers saw this scene, which surprised them and were surprised. They also used some valuable things, such as pens, paper cups and other debris, and they all disappeared as soon as they landed on the ground.
This incident attracted the attention of some people at that time. Many people came to hear about it. I wanted to see if there was such a magical thing.
However, this report has been confirmed to be fake news, because the next day, after the crowd who came over came, they found that they threw things down and fell directly to the ground, which was not as magical as they heard.
So this report was quickly considered a false news that attracted attention.
Seeing this, Hodge's eyes lit up, and the news of the sudden disappearance of the items made Hodge feel a little excited. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he also wanted to check the situation, but immediately, he frowned slightly. The report did not record the address and name of the container yard.
Just as Hodge's mind was attracted, Elizabeth also "reprimanded" her younger brother, turned to look at Hodge with frown, took a few steps forward curiously, stood beside him, stretched forward, and looked at Hodge's computer screen.
Similarly, her younger brother Brian was no less than his sister, and quickly stepped forward and stood behind Hodge.
"Huh!" Brian's eyes lit up when he saw the report on Hodge's computer, and he couldn't help but exclaim. He was very interested in strange stories, so he had not only heard of the reports Hodge had read, but also went to see them personally.
"What, you know?"
Hearing Bryan's suspicion, Hodge turned his head to look.
Brian nodded honestly and said, "Of course I knew that there was such a magical thing at that time, but I went there in person."
Brian's words made Hodge happy and said quickly: "Can you take me to see it? I like to explore some secret strange things the most."
However, Brian shook his head and dissuaded: "Don't go, this matter is fake. I threw a glass down at that time, but it turned into powder. The most hateful thing is that the black-hearted boss actually charged the fee!"
Speaking of this, Brian's expression was a little angry, and it seemed that he was worried about the charges.
"Okay, since you don't want to go, can you tell me the address of the container yard?" Hodge did not listen to his advice, but asked Brian for the address.
"Man, don't be fooled. It's just a damn scam. It was a fake news deliberately spread by the black-hearted boss to make money. I found out!"
Seeing that Hodge asked him for an address, Brian knew that Hodge had not given up yet. Although he had just met Hodge, he had a good impression of Hodge, so he reminded him sincerely.
Elizabeth, who was standing aside, nodded in agreement, obviously not expecting Hodge to be cheated of money by the black-hearted boss.
Seeing Brian's sincere expression, Hodge smiled slightly, feeling a little moved, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brian, I am a famous Grandet."
Brian looked at Hodge in surprise. Seeing that Hodge still had no idea, he told Hodge to the address of the container yard to Hodge helplessly.
"Then you should be careful. Although the lies have been exposed, there are still many tourists who will visit."
Hoqi nodded.
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, two crisp gunshots rang outside the cafe's door, breaking the tranquility of the cafe and scaring everyone sitting in the cafe.
Woo--!
With the gunshots, the sharp sirens also came in.
"Oh--! Oh my God!"
Suddenly, several customers in the cafe couldn't help but scream. There were not many customers in the cafe. Including Hodge and Brian, there were only seven people, and there were only fifteen people in total.
"It seems that London is not very safe either." Hodge turned his head and teased Elizabeth without any tension.
Elizabeth looked at Hodge's narrow eyes and his face turned red instantly. After all, she had just said that New York was very messy, but this happened before ten minutes after he finished speaking.
Elizabeth clenched her teeth. If she had a gun in her hand, she would have wished she could just throw the criminals.
At this time, the cafe gate was closed tightly. Six gunmen with black hoodies broke in. Behind them, they were carrying a bulging black travel bag. After they came in, they threw the travel bag on the ground. Two of the gangsters with guns were guarding the door, while the other three rushed into the inner hall, causing a burst of exclamation inside.
Hodge glanced at the travel bags, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry. Hodge was shocked. The jewelry in these six bags was sold at least tens of millions!
"Let me all fall down!"
A gangster with a gun walked over fiercely and shouted loudly.
When Hodge saw these gangsters, a trace of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to turn his head and tell Elizabeth to be careful, he found that the boy Brian had left at some point. Hodge's face suddenly became weird.
Because Hodge discovered that Brian was secretly hiding in a corner, and then took out a quaint amulet from his chest...
Seeing this, a light flashed in Hodge's eyes. The idea that he had originally wanted to solve the problem directly was extinguished in an instant, and he squatted down obediently in the crowd.
"Boss, the back door is also controlled."
At this time, a gangster with a headscarf ran out quickly from the inner hall, walked to the shouting gangster with great strides, and said in a low voice.
The leading gangster nodded, "Tell the group of idiots outside, prepare a helicopter for us within ten minutes, if we exceed it, we will kill one every minute."
The leader smiled cruelly, looked at the hostages squatting on the ground and said in a cold voice.
The customers squatting on the ground and the cafe staff trembled in their hearts when they heard the leader Senhan's words, and their faces became even pale.
I was afraid that ten minutes later, these gangsters would take themselves as their first target.
"You girl, it's you!" The gangster nodded, then pointed his eyes at a trembling waitress who was closest to him.
When the waitress heard the criminal's words, her body trembled suddenly, and her beautiful face turned pale in an instant. She stood up and walked to the criminal's side with trembling trembling.
The gangster was very smart because among the hostages, except for the six waitresses and Elizabeth, the other hostages were strong young people.
It will definitely be troublesome to take a strong young man to negotiate with the police. After all, although they do not have weapons, they have more or less the ability to resist.
Soon, under the threat of the gangster, the waitress was taken out of the cafe.
Hodge also stared at the gangster. If he had any signs of wanting to shoot, Hodge would rush over and save the hostage without hesitation.
He didn't take action because Brian's actions made him very curious. If he was not mistaken, he should also be a person with special abilities.
However, why didn't he move for a long time? Are he still observing the situation?
Frowning, Hodge looked at the corner where Brian was hiding quietly.
After seeing this, Hodge was speechless for a moment. At this time, Brian had already put on a blue tights with a rice-shaped flag. The tights clearly outlined his solid muscles like a knife and axe, making people unquestionably the huge power hidden in his muscles. He was wearing a mask covering half of his face on his head, only revealing his eyes and lower half of his face.
But he was gasping for breath at this time. Although he was wearing a mask, Hodge could still see that he was very nervous and was constantly adjusting his breathing, as if he was cheering himself up...
Could this be his first time… (To be continued...)
