Chapter 11 Choice
Leon actually harbors a special kind of sympathy for Daredevil Matt Murdock.
Daredevil was one of the earliest Marvel heroes to appear on the big screen.
At that time, Leon was still a middle school student and was deeply impressed by Ben Affleck's portrayal of Daredevil.
A dark red combat suit, a special ability to locate objects by sound like a bat despite being blind, and a character who walks in the dark to help the weak and fight the wicked.
Everything captivated Leon, who was in the throes of youthful eccentricity.
Then, out of curiosity, he searched for information about this person.
miserable!
That's terrible!
Speaking of superheroes, especially in the DC universe, you'd be embarrassed to even be considered a superhero if you didn't have a tragic past.
But Daredevil is different!
Aside from his family background—his father raised him and later killed him for refusing to throw a fight—and his own blindness, these were not the worst aspects of his life.
In Leon's memory, Matt had three girlfriends. His first girlfriend, Karin, was killed while protecting him. His second girlfriend, who was also his wife, Donovan, later went insane and was confined to a mental hospital. His third girlfriend, Erica, who was his college sweetheart, was killed by Bullseye. His fourth girlfriend, Karen, who is now his assistant at the law firm, later became an adult film actress and was forced to reveal his identity.
He was later killed by Bullseye in front of him.
The fifth...
...
Matt suddenly sensed something was off about the atmosphere; it seemed like there was a scent of pity in the air.
"Feel sorry."
Matt is not only handsome and has a great personality, but he is also top-notch in terms of knowledge and manners.
Although the other person is clearly mentally ill and talking nonsense, I don't even know if I still have a kidney, and you're asking for surgery fees!
Although it was obviously a joke.
Matt replied politely, "Obviously, I don't look like I can pull out cash from somewhere right now."
Coughing twice indicates that the blood loss has had a significant impact.
"How about we pay it off for now?"
Regardless of how you look at it, the other person genuinely saved their own life, while Matt walked into a trap set for someone else, so to be precise, he has no one to blame but himself.
Matt was well aware of this as well.
Therefore, Matt felt that although this person seemed a bit dim-witted, he probably wasn't a bad person. His hostility towards Kingpin and his help to Matt both proved this point.
Moreover, putting aside his combat abilities, his superb medical skills are definitely worth recruiting and befriending.
The implication is that they acknowledge owing the other party a favor, which would facilitate future communication.
Matt felt that the other party must have the same idea; otherwise, would they really ask him for five cents for medical expenses?
Are you kidding me?
Lyon didn't answer, but instead started talking to himself.
"A friend of mine owes me 1,000 yuan,"
"I asked him for it several times, but he hasn't returned it to me."
Leon was speaking, and Matt could only listen.
"Once, he told me that he wasn't going to pay me back and asked if I would be angry."
"I said I wouldn't be angry, we're good friends."
Matt felt he understood a little.
"His face turned red at that moment."
Matt blushed a little too.
"I did it."
Matt: ...
Wang Defa? ? ? ? !
You went through all that trouble just to say this?!
Five cents?
Then why don't you just watch me die?! Why save me?!
For a moment, even someone as emotionally intelligent as Matt didn't know how he should behave—should he cry? Or should he laugh and cheer him on?
An awkward silence fell over the room.
Just as Matt felt the air around him was as heavy as water, and he almost wanted to jump up and slap that lunatic across the face, then smash the glass, turn around, and never see this idiot again.
Lyon spoke.
"I am the top scholar in both civil and military examinations from seven provinces in Guangdong, and I am known as the King of Scholars, who is said to have pierced through the intestines!"
"Didn't you ask?"
Matt: ...
Matt swore that as a lawyer with a high success rate, he was confident in his eloquence, and that all the embarrassing and speechless moments he had ever experienced in his life combined did not exceed these ten hours!
Although Lyon's English obscured the original meaning of the sentence, it was clear that Matt still understood it.
"Um... Mr. Lu..."
"Vulgar language!"
Matt: ...Damn! (A type of plant)
Lyon walked to the side of the outer wall with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "It's all empty fame. I've seen through it all long ago. There's no need to talk about it anymore."
After careful consideration, and based on his understanding of his weakened state and the assessment of both sides' fighting strength, Matt took a deep breath and abandoned his wishful thinking of leaping up and giving the guy a good whack against the wall.
"So, how should I address you, sir!"
Squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth, Matt preserved his composure and manners.
Turning to face Matt, Leon slightly raised his chin: "My name is: Vasaguacaguahuqualacasa.cough.labulaca."
Matt: ...
Let's fight!
Let's fight!
Maybe I'll punch him in the mouth and knock him mute!
"call!!!!"
"Mr. Labrakka, you can call me…"
Matt was a little confused and didn't know how to introduce himself.
The key point is that this kind of plot has never happened before!
Either be a lawyer and reveal your real name, or put on a combat suit and fight the moment you meet!
Oh no...
After thinking about it, Matt decided to use his real name. After all, Matt is a very common name; there are countless Matts in Hell's Kitchen alone.
I feel a little embarrassed to call myself Night Demon.
"Matt."
"My name is Matt Labrador… Doctor."
"oh!"
Lyon was shouting and yelling as if he had discovered something incredibly important.
"You're that blind lawyer! Matt Murdoch!"
...
silence.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Even the summer insects fell silent for me.
Matt felt that this guy had been playing him for a fool from beginning to end!
With his legs outstretched and slightly bent, one hand supporting him on the mattress, all the muscles in his body tensed, Matt's voice inevitably deepened.
"Mr. Labrador, I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else."
Even if we can't win, we have to fight.
It's no wonder Matt seemed desperate; if someone with ulterior motives were to discover his true identity, he might not be the only one to be harmed.
Leon remained as nonchalant as ever, seemingly oblivious to Matt's preparations for battle.
"No? That's impossible. I only know one blind person named Matt! It's that famous blind lawyer, Matt Murdoch."
silence.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Just because of this?!
This is completely baffling...
wrong!
Matt sensed that this guy who called himself a Labrador was lying and fooling him again.
"Isn't it a bit too late to develop a deep, husky voice now?"
"Don't be nervous~"
Just as Matt was about to make a move, Leon spoke up again: "I'm not interested in your name, what you don't know, or what your real identity is, and I won't do anything about it."
"Otherwise, I would have done it already, wouldn't I?"
After a two-second pause, Matt remained silent, his muscles still tense.
Lyon continued, "As long as you don't commit crimes, I won't bother with you."
"If you really don't want your identity to be exposed one day and affect your friends, either you leave them, or you need to become stronger, or you need to act quickly and finish what you need to do and kill the people you need to kill as soon as possible!"
"Anyway, you're not going to give up this outfit, are you?"
For once, Lyon became serious and earnest, leaving Matt momentarily at a loss for words.
