Chapter 185 Gathering
Actually, it wasn't hard to find him. Uncle George is a serious person after all, and he stood out quite a bit among this group of "hippies."
Soon Yang Le spotted someone wearing a shirt who was out of place with the surroundings. Judging by his hair color and build, it was clearly Uncle George. However, what surprised Yang Le was that Uncle George didn't seem like a drunken alcoholic.
He sat imposingly at the Bar, his eyes glancing at the Glass Cupboard opposite Uncle George. Through the reflection, he could make out the other person's appearance. Yes, it was indeed Uncle George. Although the reflection wasn't very clear, it definitely wasn't how a drunkard should look.
Moreover, Uncle George wasn't alone. Right next to him sat another black-haired strongman who was just as imposing. The two of them sitting together looked very intimidating. Not to mention hippies, even the Underworld wouldn't want to provoke them.
"What's wrong, Frank?" Uncle George asked, holding a Wine Glass in one hand. He was just about to take a sip when he noticed his Partner's unusual behavior.
"Someone is watching us," the strongman named Frank reminded Uncle George.
Yang Le could observe Uncle George through the Glass reflection, so Frank must have also noticed Yang Le. Uncle George heavily put down his Wine Glass, wanting to see who was looking for Trouble.
Turning around and seeing Yang Le, he was stunned. The Question that was on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back, replaced by another sentence.
"Habby?"
"Uh, hello Uncle George," Yang Le said somewhat awkwardly, subconsciously raising his Hand to greet him.
"You're back?" Contrary to what Yang Le had expected, Uncle George didn't fly into a rage, nor did he coldly ignore him. Instead, he was very Peaceful, waving his Hand to call Yang Le over.
"Come sit over here."
Yang Le didn't refuse. He walked over to Uncle George in a few steps and sat down. Frank, across from Uncle George, scrutinized Yang Le with a very aggressive gaze.
"Want something to drink?" Uncle George called over the bartender.
"I don't know either, you decide for me," Yang Le said. It was his first time in this Bar.
"Then get a Cola," Uncle George said, seeing Yang Le's appearance, he knew he hadn't drunk Wine before.
"Sugar-free or regular?"
"Regular is fine," Yang Le replied. Sugar-free? Even a Dog wouldn't drink that!
The bartender was expressionless, as if he didn't find anything wrong with someone coming to a Bar to drink Cola. He properly poured a Cup of Cola and handed it to Yang Le.
"Is it normal to drink Cola at a Bar?" Yang Le asked.
"Even if you wanted a Milkshake, I could still serve it to you," the bartender replied, wiping a Wine Glass.
"Believe me, these Mercenary guys are really weird. Some even order Strawberry Sundae. The main thing is, they all support me, so naturally I have to satisfy their small requests."
"Love you, TJ!" someone immediately responded from the Bar, although it was a man.
Faced with such supportive Guests, TJ naturally had to respond enthusiastically.
"FKY!" TJ responded, raising his middle finger.
Ignoring the liveliness over there, Uncle George started a conversation with Yang Le, asking and answering questions.
"When did you get back?"
"Just now. I went to Aunt May, and she told me a lot of things."
"Oh, it seems you know everything now."
Uncle George picked up his Cup and took a sip. The amber Liquid was drunk in one gulp.
"I know, but there were some discrepancies. Aunt May told me you were an alcoholic."
"At first, yes," Uncle George nodded in acknowledgment.
"But then someone woke me up."
Uncle George said, pointing to the black-haired strongman beside him.
"Let me introduce you, Frank Castle." Frank's Right Hand reached around Uncle George and extended towards Yang Le.
"Yang Le." Yang Le shook Frank's Hand. The Punisher's name was still thunderous, but judging by his attire, he probably wasn't yet.
"Frank, he was originally with the NYPD like me, but later quit and became a Private Detective. He's also the one Aunt May and them hired to watch over me."
Uncle George nudged Frank with a Punch, saying with a smile.
"But this bastard beat me up on his first day on the job. I really should tell May and have them file a complaint against you."
Frank just grinned, not minding Uncle George's Tease.
"Uncle George," Yang Le called a halt to their Tease.
"About Gwen, what are your Ideas?"
"I was just about to talk to you about that," Uncle George said, shifting his Body to face Yang Le, speaking seriously.
"Habby, like Gwen, do you also have some unique qualities?"
"Yes," Yang Le admitted frankly.
"Then I want to ask you to come and help me," Uncle George said with a pleading tone.
"You should also know that those people are not something Ordinary person can deal with. Our Strength might not be enough, but..."
"I agree," Yang Le said directly, without waiting for Uncle George to finish.
"I'm very happy you agreed," Uncle George's eyebrows arched, clearly showing his happiness, but he continued to speak.
"But you should still think carefully. Those people destroyed a Street."
"That's exactly why I'm here," Yang Le said firmly.
"You shouldn't underestimate a man, George," Frank said, placing his Hand on Uncle George's Shoulder, stopping Uncle George from saying the next sentence.
"He's heard the Full Appearance of things and still came to find you, which already shows he's prepared."
"Alright," Uncle George nodded, then stood up.
"Come with me, this isn't the place to talk. We have other Partners waiting to meet you."
Following Uncle George and Frank out of the Bar and into a Car, it wasn't long before they arrived at their Destination.
"We're here," Uncle George said, getting out of the Car first. He had drunk Wine, so Frank was driving.
Yang Le also got out of the Car. As he looked up, he saw the eye-catching Symbol - Oscorp.
"You should be able to guess who else our Partners are," Uncle George said, patting Yang Le's Shoulder.
"It's indeed not hard to guess," Yang Le said with a smile.
Sure enough, as Yang Le expected, following Uncle George and Frank taking the Elevator to the Top Floor of the Building, Yang Le saw two familiar faces.
"Hi, Peter, Harry," Yang Le greeted.
"Habby!" Peter and Harry said in unison, although Peter was more excited.
Peter put down the Work at hand and jumped over to Yang Le, clearly not an Ordinary person.
"You look the same as before," Peter said. He was just about to give Yang Le a hug when he was stopped by Harry, who was behind him.
"You're crossing the line, Peter. Habby's first hug can't be from you," Harry said seriously.
"Ah? Right, right, right!" Peter immediately realized that Harry was talking about Gwen.
"You guys are quite different from before," Yang Le shook his head, ignoring their Tease.
Not to mention Peter, who had been injected with the Lizard Serum, Harry, who could keep up with his movements, was definitely not normal either.
"Puberty, you know, we developed a bit," Harry said with a smile, then pointed to Uncle George and Frank behind Yang Le.
"Uncle George and them have also developed for the second time."
