A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Chris clenched his teeth, his jaw muscles bulging. If he apologized, how could he ever face anyone at school again?

Snapped!

He swung the back of the knife and struck him hard on the back of the knee, forcing him to kneel on one knee.

Cao Gui wasn't discussing this with him.

Chris, with a sullen face, silently stood up from the ground and bowed to Gwen: "I'm sorry, student, my behavior just now offended you. I apologize and hope you can forgive me."

Circumstances dictate that he had no choice but to yield.

Gwen glanced at him, then waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.

Seeing this, Chris turned and left, and the skinny black man stopped pretending to be dead and got up to follow Chris.

"Wait, did I say you could leave?"

However, Cao Gui had no intention of letting them leave.

The skinny black man suddenly felt a chill:

"Dude, you've already taught me a lesson, and I've already apologized. You...you can't be so unreasonable!"

The Black man spoke urgently, his voice filled with grievance.

Cao Gui sneered, "When you were pretending to be crazy earlier, you didn't seem aggrieved at all!"

"Help me punch this Texan, and we'll be even," Cao Gui said calmly.

The black man was taken aback, looked at Cao Gui, and then at Chris.

However, it was this one glance that enraged Chris. His underlings actually dared to plot against him!

This is outrageous!

"Leaf, what are you trying to do, you mud dog?!" Chris roared furiously.

He was still young and impetuous. If Chris had reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, he might have been able to win over the Black community.

But he actually looked down on the skinny black man in public and berated him. Any man with a penis would find that rude.

As expected, the skinny black man's face instantly turned dark red, and his white teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound. But the other party was, after all, a boss he had followed for a long time, and he was somewhat afraid, so he didn't dare to make a move.

Upon seeing this, Cao Gui immediately understood: all it would take was adding another spark to the fire.

Sheathed the knife, then disappeared into the crowd:

clap clap!

"Give me a punch!"

Clapping and shouts rang out from the crowd, their rhythm distinct and catchy, immediately catching the eyes of several onlookers nearby, who then clapped twice, mimicking Cao Gui.

clap clap!

"Give me a punch!"

This caused quite a stir. One person told two, two told three, and suddenly, the onlookers started shouting in rhythm.

clap clap!

"Give me a punch!"

clap clap!

"Give me a punch!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the thin, black man's hesitant expression gradually hardened, and he began to revel in the cheers of the onlookers.

Just like Cao Gui before him, he lost himself in the constant calls of "handsome boy" from the aunties in Guangdong Province.

Seeing this, Cao Gui knew that the time was right, so he pulled Gwen away from the crowd.

I had walked less than a hundred meters when I heard cheers from the crowd. It seemed that a fight had really broken out.

Cao Gui smirked. The boss had been "betrayed" in public by his underling, losing all his authority. The underling had even attacked the boss in public, showing no loyalty whatsoever.

This bullying gang is finished!

Hey~

[Host has completed a "Protect the Territory and Protect the People" mission, combating evil forces. Reward: 100 Merit Points, 50 Experience Points]

Cao Gui's mind stirred, and he opened the system panel:

【Justice Naval System (Supporting Every Naval Soldier with a righteous heart)】

[Soldier's Name: Cao Gui (Naval Private First Class)]

[Merit Points: 200; Experience Points: 150/1000]

[Taoist Power Value: 7 (A standard reflecting combat power, not a factor determining combat power)]

Cao Gui was thrilled; he could really get on this coattails!

Great! No need for technology or mutations!

Long live the system!

"Um...can you let me go now?"

A weak voice sounded, and Cao Gui was slightly taken aback. He looked down and realized that he was still holding Gwen's hand.

"Uh, sorry, Stacy, I was just spacing out." Cao Gui quickly let go of the girl's hand.

“It’s alright, Cao,” Gwen chuckled. “I should thank you for helping me.”

"Huh? How do you know my name?" Cao Gui asked, somewhat surprised.

“Well… before I transferred schools, the teacher asked me to get to know all the classmates,” Gwen said hesitantly. “I have a good memory, so I remember.”

"Oh, I see."

Cao Gui immediately understood that this girl had a bureau chief as her father. Not to mention class information, even more detailed information could be obtained by her father.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

"..."

"..."

The two weren't very familiar with each other yet, and after they finished talking about the topic, they suddenly fell into an inexplicable awkwardness.

"Ahem, Gwen, you don't seem... surprised?" Cao Gui started a conversation.

"What's so surprising?" Gwen asked, puzzled.

Cao Gui gestured, indicating his "magic".

“Haha, actually, I can do this magic trick too,” Gwen laughed, then raised her right hand, and with a “whoosh,” a golden cudgel appeared out of thin air.

However... this golden cudgel is just a fake made of iron.

"Haha, didn't expect that, did you?" Gwen smiled smugly. "Your magic tricks can't fool me."

Cao Gui smiled, nodded, and gave a thumbs up: "Gwen, you're really smart."

He was still worried about how to explain it, but it turns out that the other party already "knew".

Before they knew it, the two had reached the classroom door.

“Well… I’ll go back to my seat.” Gwen said softly, “Thank you for helping me. If there’s anything I can do for you, feel free to come to me.”

"Um... I do have a favor to ask you," Cao Gui said. "My grades aren't very good, could you please help me?"

“Of course.” Gwen smiled gently and readily agreed, and for some reason, her smile became even brighter.

The school bell rang, pulling Cao Gui back to his studies. The two entered the classroom one after the other.

He still had to study. Sitwell had high hopes for him, and he couldn't let him down. At the very least, his grades had to be above average.

As for romance, Cao Gui isn't interested for the time being, after all, his kidneys aren't in very good shape right now.

……

Time flies like an arrow; the sun sets in the west, dusk is approaching, and the afternoon classes will soon be over.

Cao Gui stretched, packed his things, and leisurely returned to his apartment. He had to go back and tidy up; at least... he couldn't leave that pile of tissues behind.

Before that, Cao Gui needed to go to the bank to exchange his "military pay" for US dollars. Although it wasn't much, it was still money, wasn't it?

……

In a bank in downtown New York, Cao Gui slowly moved forward in a long line.

With nothing to do, Cao Gui subconsciously opened his system panel. He had activated the "Protect the Borders and Keep the People Safe" task module, finding a way to gain experience and merits, but there might be other task modules as well.

My understanding of the system is not deep enough. The cause of all this is, of course, this silly system that pretends to be profound and doesn't speak. Not only is there no system spirit, no foolproof operation, but there is not even a beginner's tutorial. It shamelessly calls itself "a spirit of exploration".

"Sir, sir, how can I help you?"

Cao Gui looked up blankly and found himself in front of the cashier's counter, where the cashier was looking at him.

"Excuse me, could you please exchange this 10000 yen for US dollars, and also withdraw 1000 US dollars from this card?"

Cao Gui handed over the yen and card with his right hand, but his left hand couldn't help but touch his kidneys. Damn it, the original owner of this body not only has a bad memory, but also can't concentrate!

"Sir, these are your things, please keep them safe."

Soon after, the cashier finished her work and returned the items to Cao Gui.

"Thank you."

Cao Gui thanked him and was about to put the things away when...

boom! boom! boom!

Loud gunshots echoed through the bank as four masked robbers armed with guns filed in.

"We are robbers, this is a robbery!"

"Everyone, cover your heads, lie down, and don't move!"
