Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 36 Ike's Fright

"Oh my God, it's really you!"

Manzu hugged Ike tightly and patted his back hard with his hands.

"You're still alive? Where have you been all these years, little one? Goddess Janna, you know that we have been looking for you for some time. We have now formed an organization!"

Manzu let go of Ike and saw Ike looking at him in confusion. Manzu laughed, "Why do you have that expression? Damn it, you're really damn stupid, Ike. You can't recognize me, can you?"

"That's really too much. I remember your face clearly, but you forgot who I am?"

"you"

Ike looked at Manzu's familiar face and made a bold guess. He asked tentatively, "Manzu?"

Manzu smiled and nodded.

"Is it really you? Oh my God, Manzu, how come you've grown so tall!" Ike said in surprise.

what's the situation? !

It turned out to be Manzu!

When they were young, although Vi took good care of Ekko because he was too young, Mello in the team disliked Ekko because he was too young, one year younger than Bakugo. He was not tall, did not know how to fight, and most importantly, was timid, so Mello was unwilling to play with Ekko.

Ike, who was left behind, would often play with the kids like Marsan and Manzo.

In the Black Alley, he was the only kid who had contact with both Marsan and Wei's groups, so when he saw Manzu, Ike was naturally excited.

Since the death of Vander, the children of Black Alley have been separated. Therefore, Ike brought a group of people to create the Wildfire Gang to protect the last spark of Black Alley.

"Yes, it's me, Ike. Don't just blame me. You've grown a lot taller. And your muscles, wow, how come you're so strong?" Manzu patted Ike's shoulder happily, and then said, "Come on, follow me, Ike, I'll take you somewhere!"

"Where are you going? Wait, Manzu, I want to ask you something. Why did you join the Lotus Gang?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just follow me, and you'll know everything when you get there!"

"Believe me, everyone will be happy to see you! We will have our own home again." Manzu said with a big laugh.

He pulled Ike and walked away. Seeing this, Zeli, who was standing beside him, hurriedly trotted after him.

She doesn't want to be left behind!
Shit, Ike said he didn’t know the Lotus Gang, but it turns out that the captain of the Lotus Gang knows him!
Ike, this guy, actually lied to me?!

----

"Where exactly are we going?"

"Go to the Lotus Gang and meet our boss."

we?

Ike wanted to say something, but seeing that Manzu was in high spirits, he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Boss?"

"Is your boss Marson?"

But after saying that, Ike himself seemed a little unconvinced.

When Marson was young, Ike did follow him and regarded him as his big brother. However, from Ike's current perspective, Marson was just an ordinary person. It was impossible for him to create such a big gang and drive away the gangs in the Sea Shark District.

"Marson? He's not the boss. Although he brought me into the Lotus Gang, he's just a small leader, just like me. But Ike, you know our boss too, and you definitely wouldn't have thought it would be him."

"I know him?" Not Marsan, but I know him too?

No, when we were young, was there anyone outstanding in Marson’s group?

Ike became even more curious.

"Ike, do you know the boss of the Lotus Gang?" Zeli had been listening to the conversation. Hearing the voices, she approached Ike and whispered to him.

Ike looked at Zelie and was also confused, "Do I know her?"

Zeli: “?”

"Wei! Look, who's here!"

Suddenly, Manzu shouted.

Ike's body trembled, and he instantly looked towards where Manzu was waving.

The next moment, Ike's eyes were full of disbelief, because in his sight, next to the fenced wall in the distance, a woman with red hair and wearing a red jacket was talking to another person with one hand in her pocket. When she heard the voice, she turned her head, revealing a face that Ike was very familiar with.

"." In the distance, Wei, who turned her head to look over, was also startled for a moment. Her pretty face was dull, and her rosy lips were slightly open. The next moment, Wei took her hand out of her pocket, and then rushed over with big strides, saying as she ran: "Oh my God, Ike? Is that you, Ike?!"

"Janna, you're still alive!"

Wei rushed past Manzu and Zeli, hugged Ike and held him tightly in her arms. In an instant, Ike felt a warmth.

"Ike, I thought something happened to you too." Wei's voice choked.

"." Ike didn't say anything, his hands were placed stupidly on both sides, obviously a little absent-minded.

"Why don't you speak?" Wei let go of Ike, grabbed Ike's shoulders with both hands, looked down at him, and continued anxiously:
"It's me, Wei. It's me who used a hose to wash you at the garbage dump when you were little. Don't you recognize me now? When you were little, you followed me around naked and called me big sister. How come you don't even recognize me now?"

Ike's voice became a little hoarse, and he whispered: "Yes, you are Wei. So, where have you been all these years?"

"Me?" Wei was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Ike's face and saw the vicissitudes of life on that face that did not belong to Ike's age, as well as the small scars on Ike's body. Wei understood at once.

She said softly, "I'm sorry Ike, my story is very complicated. I, I can't explain it clearly in just a few words."

Then, she hugged Ike again and said, "But I'm really glad to see you again, Ike."

"I thought something happened to you, too."

"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed me."

Being hugged by Wei again, this time, Ike raised his hands and hugged Wei as well.

“Do you know what has happened over the years?”

"The Black Alley is gone, everyone is gone, even Bomb Bomb is gone."

Ike is the leader of the Wildfire Gang. He lives in Zaun with hundreds of people, trying to survive under the hands of the Chem-Baron. In order to give them confidence and build a perfect home, Ike has become the patriarch of the group even though he is not yet an adult.

But now, in front of Wei, listening to what Wei had said before, Ike suddenly remembered what had happened.

He wasn't so strong and excellent from the beginning.

If, if Vi had not disappeared over the years, if Black Alley was still there, he might have gone to Piltover to study, or perhaps he would have become a worker repairing machines with a wrench instead of becoming a leader who picked up a stick to fight gangs. He really doesn't like violence.

In front of Wei, Ike turned back into a child.

He subconsciously vented his grievances to Wei, and also wanted to tell Wei about Baobao's situation.

But the next moment, a voice sounded beside Ike.

"Are you calling me?"

Hearing this voice, Ike pushed Wei away instantly. The grievance on his face turned into horror. He looked at the girl who was standing on tiptoe, with her hands tangled behind her back and her head tilted towards him.

She was wearing a denim jacket with a belly-revealing top underneath, and long black pants painted with various pink patterns. She had a pretty fair face, and two long blue braids that hung crookedly together toward the ground, and her big eyes were full of curiosity.

"Grass!"

With a curse word, Ike instantly threw the thing on his belt out and hit her with all his strength.

Ekko suddenly jumped up and threw things directly, so fast that Vi, who was nearby, couldn't react. She looked at him blankly, and Vi shouted "no" the next second.

The thing Ike threw was a piece of iron. It was going to hit Bao Bao's face.
"Snapped--"

A hand stretched out and slapped the iron block in front of the girl away.

Jinx breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and saw that it was Li Ke's face. Then, she immediately became proud, "What's the matter, little guy, you want to fight?"

"Come on! Am I afraid of you?!"

Jinx raised her tiny fist and shook it back and forth.

Li Ke looked at the arrogant Jinx with amusement, put his arms around her, and then looked at Ekko who was panting and looking frightened as if he had seen a ghost.

"Don't be so nervous, Ike."

"I can explain it."

"Explain your fucking ass!"

"You are all from Hilco!"

Ike cursed.
