The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Seeing that Homelander was a little confused, Jon snapped his fingers in front of him.

Coming back to his senses, Homelander adjusted his gloves a little and said, "Sorry, I haven't had enough rest recently because of my efforts to uphold justice."

Jon glanced at him.

His face was sallow and he looked tired.

This is not lack of rest, it's clearly kidney deficiency!

It seems that A-Zu has been rushing a lot recently.

Homelander felt a little scared by Jon's gaze. He couldn't help but cough lightly, "No matter what happened before, since we have joined the Seven, we are brothers."

Changing the subject, "By the way, about the debut ceremony arranged by the company for you."

Jon waved his hand. "Entrance ceremony? I don't need that kind of thing.

You are bound by Vought Corporation."

With a sly smile on his face, he gave a very appropriate example, "Do you know how to train elephants? When an elephant is young, the breeder will tie it to a small tree. With the strength of the baby elephant, it naturally cannot break free from the rope, nor can it do anything to the small tree.

But as the years went by, the baby elephant grew into a big elephant, and the keeper still tied it to the small tree, and the elephant did not resist.

Do you know why? "

The heartbeats of the Chinese people unconsciously quickened a bit.

Jon said firmly: "Because of slavery and habit."

He patted Homelander on the shoulder and said, "You take Vought Company too seriously."

Chapter 285 Do I need you to teach me how to do things?

Taking Vought Company too seriously?

These words resound like the Huanglu bell in the hearts of the people of the motherland.

He subconsciously wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start and could only stand there in a daze.

Jon smiled slightly and did not continue to fool around.

——Some things need to be done step by step. It is not good to say too much at once.

Just then, Madeline came over with a glass of wine.

During her conversation with a member of the Ministry of Defense, she hit a wall and was obviously in a bad mood.

But facing Jon, the woman still forced a smile and asked, "How do you feel? Are you used to this kind of environment?"

"Not bad." Jon shrugged. "Although it's a little different from what I imagined, it's still okay."

Hearing this, Madeline laughed dryly and explained, "The company's business has been expanding rapidly recently. We are really too busy."

Changing the subject, she continued, "But don't worry, I promise you that you will have a formal media meeting.

When that time comes, the whole world will witness the birth of another superhero!"

This statement is absolutely flawless.

There was a barely perceptible glimmer of envy in the eyes of the countrymen.

The support and love of the general public is an important part of his inner support. Although he is already the leader of the seven superheroes and the most popular superhero in America, who doesn't want to have a greater influence?

However, Jon was not too enthusiastic about the so-called media meeting.

Looking at Madeline, he smiled and said, "There's no need to make a big fuss about it. Joining the Seven is just a deal between Edgar and me. To be honest, I have no interest in becoming a superhero."

That being said, the media meeting has already been arranged and it is impossible to cancel it.

Madeline had no choice but to skip the subject.

After taking a sip of champagne, he said to Homelander, "Although JOJO has joined the Seven, the 'Invisible Man Disappearance Case' still has no result. You must pay attention to this issue."

Homelander nodded, "Invisible Man is an important member of the Seven. I will never give up on him."

Jon almost believed what was said.

the other side.

Queen Maeve and Starlight gathered together and stared in the direction of Jon and Homelander.

After looking for a while, the two of them looked away.

"So, sweet girl, what do you think of our new member?"

"Sweet girl? Are you calling me?"

"Otherwise, is there a third person here?"

"I'm a hero just like you, not some outdated idol!"

"Okay, okay, I apologize."

Queen Maeve smiled and raised her hands in surrender.

After a moment's silence, she continued, "The addition of a new member is bound to cause turbulence in the support rate. But I think that guy will be very popular with his looks."

This makes sense.

Even though Xingguang was very disdainful of the fan circle, she had to admit that the new member John Joestar was tall and handsome, and had a mysterious temperament that was difficult to explain in words.

If even a man like this is not popular among the public, then she couldn't imagine what kind of man would be popular.

Coincidentally, not only Queen Maeve and Starlight were watching Jon, but also Locomotive and The Deep.

However, their attitude towards Jon was not so friendly.

"As soon as he joined the group, he hooked up with someone from his homeland. Hey, this pretty boy." Shenhai said with disdain.

The locomotive nodded in agreement.

In addition to ability, the seven superheroes also have to consider appearance, audience, race and political correctness.

In his opinion, John Joestar has no obvious label and cannot represent any special group.

That is

——That guy is an "incorrect" existence!

Such "incorrect" people are very likely to plunder the support that belongs to them in an unreasonable manner.

This gave the locomotive a strong sense of crisis.

His physical condition has been deteriorating recently, and he has little confidence in his fan support rate.

Now it’s even worse!

However, despite the complaints, the locomotive did not have the courage to report the situation to the top management of Water Company.

Because he heard from some sources that John Joestar seemed to have an unclear relationship with the company's president, Mr. Edgar.

"Maybe he came in through the back door." The locomotive thought viciously.

Time flies.

Soon it was time to leave.

After eating and drinking, Jon had no interest in staying any longer. He didn't even make an excuse, but waved his hand and took the initiative to leave.

Many people couldn't help but look sideways.

You know, the party is not a pretense, the real happiness is those unspeakable activities after the party.

Xingguang blinked and left the banquet calmly.

Outside, she saw Jon walking slowly with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey, wait a minute," she offered.

Hearing the noise, Jon turned around and smiled, "What's wrong? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Can't I just chat with you for a while?" Perhaps because they are both new members of the seven-member group, Xingguang has an instinctive sense of closeness to Jon.

Qiao En is not a social phobic, so of course he would not refuse to have a normal conversation with Xing Guang. He smiled and said, "Of course, I love chatting with girls the most."

I have to say, Jon's appearance is really good.

Xingguang's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Then we need to find a quiet place to have a good chat. Fortunately, I know a quiet bar."

After a pause, she continued, "After I change my clothes, we can go sit there together."

Jon glanced at Starlight’s tight white and yellow uniform, which made her look uncomfortable, and nodded, “I’ll meet you outside the building then.”

"Okay." Xingguang curled up a smile and ran and jumped away.

Fifteen minutes later, at the entrance of Water Company headquarters.

"Sorry for the long wait."

After changing back into her casual clothes, Xingguang looked like a completely different person.

Now, she doesn’t look like a member of an idol girl group or a superhero, but rather like a gentle and lovely little sister next door.

Jon shook his head, "No."

Not wanting to talk too much about this topic, he extended his hand and invited, "Come on, where is the bar? Let's drive there."

Following Jon's guidance, Xingguang saw a brand new black sports car.

She immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

Then, as if she had just gotten to know Jon again, she said in amazement, "I didn't expect you to be so rich."

"I didn't buy it. It's just a company-assigned car." Meeting Xingguang's gaze, Jon pretended to be quite pretentious.

Edgar is a man who can distinguish the important from the unimportant. If a little money and a car can appease the time bomb of Jon, then for him, this is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal.

Closer to home.

With a hint of excitement in her heart, Xingguang did not resist and sat directly in the passenger seat of Jon's car.

Jon fully demonstrated the qualities of a veteran driver and stepped on the accelerator.

With a humming sound, the engine roared angrily!

With lightning speed.

Along the way, Xingguang was in high spirits and kept talking.

Jon was very calm and almost never spoke on his own initiative, but just chatted from time to time.

Little did he know that this arrogant attitude would actually arouse a strange desire to win in Xingguang's heart.

Jon felt a little helpless.

Suddenly, an old van came into view.

He didn't care much at first.

But his ears moved slightly, Jon's eyes flashed, and without saying a word, he turned the steering wheel and chased after him.

Xingguang was a little puzzled and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Jon said in a deep voice, "I heard someone calling for help in that car."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Xingguang's eyes suddenly became sharp.

She has just joined the Seven, and has not been influenced too much by capital. She is still a simple and kind girl in her heart. In her opinion, as a hero, she should help those in need.

Fly all the way!

The experienced driver Jon finally stopped the van at an intersection.

He pushed open the door, got out of the sports car, and faced four or five burly men who had gotten out of a van.

"Good evening." Jon said indifferently.

Sweeping the small fish, he pointed at the ground nonchalantly, "Give up now and I can spare your lives."

This pretense deserves 120 points. I’m not afraid of Mr. Qiao’s pride.

Those burly guys were obviously not someone to be trifled with, and they pulled out their pistols without saying a word.
