The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 173 Poverty and Wealth

Putting aside the water-dwelling girl who needed to adapt to the land environment beforehand, Lee Jung initially thought that Tim would be the first person to be reported:

Drake, or Donna Troy of Paradise Island.

But the person who appeared outside the Teen Titans base early the next morning was somewhat unexpected for Li Zhen.

Malcolm Duncan, a local San Francisco boxer who was not designated by the second generation, but passed Li Zhen's initial assessment.

Because the retired Wildcat specifically instructed in his letter of recommendation to keep his identity a secret from Marr, the black teenager still couldn't believe that he had been chosen by the Justice League's superhero organization.

Compared to Tula, who was carrying a giant backpack last night, Mal's luggage was much simpler, with a single shoulder bag hanging on his left shoulder and a pair of worn-out boxing gloves in his right hand.

He wandered somewhat awkwardly outside the Teen Titans' base, occasionally glancing at the massive T-shaped building through the fence, his teeth unconsciously biting his dry lips, even biting so hard that a little blood seeped out without him noticing.

Li Zhen's biological clock is still on time; the rest he's been taking these past few days hasn't dulled his bones yet.

He got up at five in the morning, went to the restaurant to fry a few slices of bread, then removed the meat from the dried fish, mixed it with Mexican hot sauce, and stuffed it into the bread slices.

I also used the coffee machine to grind a pot of hot coffee, which was enough for breakfast for three people in total.

Whether Tula, who had always lived in Atlantis, could adapt to Mexican hot sauce was not within his consideration.

The restaurant has plenty of supplies, and if the food doesn't suit your taste, you can easily make something else you want to eat yourself.

After that, Li Zhen, holding a slice of bread in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, took the elevator to the second floor and sat down in the monitoring room.

In fact, with her super eyesight, Lee Jung could easily see the situation of the base's perimeter wall and gate by simply choosing a window or a more open place.

He just felt that having breakfast in the monitoring room created a better atmosphere.

Marcus Duncan arrived outside the base around 5:40.

Then Li Zhen watched as the extremely awkward black teenager wandered around outside the gate for more than half an hour without even trying to ring the doorbell.

"It's a very serious inferiority complex."

Li Zhen took a bite of the bread slice coated with chili sauce and fish, chewed and swallowed, and then took a sip of coffee with relish.

His reason for choosing Ma'er was essentially that he felt the boy would be obedient enough in the future and easier to manage than those troublemakers.

However, on the day he went to inspect the list with Rachel, in addition to meeting Mal Duncan himself, he also paid a visit to Ted Grant, the retired hero Wildcat who had written a letter of introduction to the Justice League, after leaving.

It is worth mentioning that although Ted is now over seventy years old, he still maintains a robust physique and spirit.

After retiring from his career as a top-tier superhero, this skilled martial artist seems particularly keen on mentoring young superheroes.

Moreover, the main focus is on heroes who specialize in hand-to-hand combat.

It is said that many current members of the Justice League have received guidance from Wildcat Ted, including Batman and Black Canary.

Ted's ability to maintain his youthful physical functions at such an advanced age is said to be due to some kind of magical blessing.

However, this veteran's strength is indeed something he has gradually mastered through years of hard work and practice.

Li Zhen wasn't very familiar with Wildcat in her past life. She vaguely remembered watching an animated film about Wildcat who, after getting older, refused to admit that he was getting old and insisted on participating in an underground boxing match to prove his strength.

In reality, however, he could directly access Wildcats' information from the Justice League.

He is proficient in boxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira, Israeli self-defense techniques, and Aikido, and is also said to have some knowledge of Chinese hard qigong.

For Earthlings, life is only about 30,000 days. Apart from geniuses (freaks) like Cassandra, it is undoubtedly remarkable for someone like Wildcat to hone a whole host of fighting skills to such an extent that they can even join the ranks of superheroes.

So Li Zhen was curious about why the wildcat recommended Mal and asked him about it.

The robust old man, whose facial skin appeared somewhat loose due to aging, answered Li Zhen's question with a smile.

"In terms of skill, while Mar is indeed quite talented in boxing, he is really nothing compared to those weird kids in Gotham's Batcave."

Well, Batman himself is a fighting master on par with Wildcat, and he has a very keen eye for talent. Both Robins, Nightwing and Jason, are people with considerable talent in hand-to-hand combat.

As for Mar Duncan, he was a boxing prodigy. It is said that after being coached by Wildcat, he was able to defeat many adult and physically dominant top fighters in underground boxing matches.

But in the end, all he knows is boxing.

Putting aside the popularity factor from his past life, Lee Jung had doubts about whether the old Mar could defeat the new Robin Tim.

Keep in mind that Tim hasn't been training with Batman for very long.

"But he has a strong drive inside him—"

Lee Jung didn't really listen to what Ted said after that.

You can guess what it's all about – the same old clichés and the same old tune: inner strength and an indomitable spirit.

Li Zhen didn't really believe in this theory. After all, considering Waitrum's straightforward thinking, even if you had a thousand or ten thousand more Mar Duncans, it would be nothing more than a breath away for Li Zhen.

However, maintaining the composure expected of an elderly man with considerable prestige in the superhero community, Li Zhen patiently listened to Wildcat's evaluation of Mar.

Looking at the black boy standing outside the base, too afraid to even ring the doorbell, Li Zhen licked the coffee residue that had been on her lips.

In any case, he doesn't think much of Ma'er right now, but at least he's a seemingly honest young man, which means there will be one less dissenting voice in the team in the future.

Li Zhen stood up, intending to go and welcome Ma Er in. He felt that if the young man hesitated and circled around a few more times, his confidence might collapse, so he turned and left.

Just as Li Zhen left the monitoring room, several new people arrived outside the Teen Titans' base.

Unlike Tura, who was personally delivered by Aquaman the night before, Mia, recommended by Green Arrow, arrived by taxi on her own.

Taking two large tote bags from the trunk and slinging a compound bow over her shoulder, the blonde archer Mia glanced indifferently at Mar, who stood bewildered at the door, and walked straight toward the authentication device next to the door.

Drop~

The door opened with a click.

As Green Arrow's apprentice, Mia's information had already been pre-entered into the Teen Titans' base computer.

After all, the construction of this base also benefited from funding from Quinn Enterprises.

Watching the blonde girl walk past him as if she were in his own home, Mar gripped the rope of his boxing glove tightly, lowered his head, and unconsciously took a step back.

Maybe we should just leave. How can I possibly think of myself as someone who…

"There's nothing particularly significant about this place. Are you just standing there to take a picture with the gate?"

Mia suddenly turned around and asked Mar, who was standing still.
