Not to mention the exchanges between Asgard and human officials that are currently underway.On the same day that little Hela, who was disgusted with the noisy renovation of Hades, moved into Jane and Thor's house, a lively birthday party had just begun at Merlin's house in Hell's Kitchen in the evening.Since Merlin's disappearance in the New York War, and even his rebirth, the children have moved to Aunt May's in Queens, and without Merlin, the house in Hell's Kitchen has lost a taste of home.Of course, Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben's house was definitely not enough for so many children to live together, so under Raven's suggestion and operation, the entire floor of the apartment was bought.It was opened up under the magic of Raven, and a low-rise villa in the downtown area was artificially made, which finally solved the accommodation problem of the Riley family.Although the Hell's Kitchen house has not been inhabited for a long time, both the exterior and the interior are well cleaned.Without even the Riley's orders, Tucker, the biggest snake in Hell's Kitchen, had already arranged for cleaning twice a week.Speaking of which, I have to mention Tucker this guy extralytically...
When Merlin first moved to Hell's Kitchen alone, Tucker was just a ninth-rate thug who did minor violations to support his family, but he had a poisonous eye.Determined that Merlin had potential, he has been trying to hug Merlin's thighs.And although Tucker is from the bottom and doesn't have much culture, he is extremely talented in this area, never taking the initiative to appear in front of the Merlin boss, and never taking the initiative to inquire about things related to Merlin, but making all preparations in private.As soon as Merlin has a need, he immediately does it 200% to the end.After going back and forth, although there was not much contact, Tucker did make a good impression on Merlin in the few events.This person, on the one hand, people's struggle must rely on their own efforts, and on the other hand, they must also take into account the factors of noble people and the fate of the times.During the period when Merlin was the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D., although he never took the initiative to promote Tucker, as a person who was still familiar to the boss, Tucker was also the kind of chicken dog ascending to heaven.Relying on the insignificant kindness of the big guy, he not only avoided several times of S.H.I.E.L.D.'
s cleanup of local forces, but also seized the opportunity to take the initiative to post to the official, and with the acquiescence, he continued to expand his territory.After Merlin's death in the Battle of New York and the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tucker was already the boss of Hell's Kitchen and had been whitewashed as the largest janitorial company in the area.And because the relationship with Merlin was not close on the surface, he also avoided a series of troubles later.But the most commendable thing is that this guy didn't forget his roots like those guys who suddenly rose to a high position and got carried away...
That's right, this is the anti-bone boy who ended up in the middle of the night.In short, during the period of Merlin's disappearance, Tucker, who is the boss of Hell's Kitchen, still responds to the Riley family's demands.And as before, once the Riley family has something useful, they will definitely strive to achieve 200%.Tucker's cleaning company is doing a thriving business, and a few days ago he also received a large amount of financing from the Blacklight Investment Company, if he continues to operate like this, Tucker will soon live a real rich life.Today's Riley family's birthday party was an internal party, and no outsiders were invited to attend.Tucker, a very discerning guy, also prepared everything for the big guys in advance, and then after the master arrived, he said a few words to the Merlin boss, drank a glass of wine, and then politely left the scene with his own people.Tucker would also wonder why Mr.
Merlin, who had officially been declared dead, was alive again, but he would never ask such a question, it would be foolish.The secrets of the bigwigs, people like him, know as little as possible.And what would a birthday party with a Hell Lord attending?
Demons dancing, or wind gusting?
Or is it full of magic, full of mysteries, things that ordinary people can't understand?
Or maybe summon a bunch of coquettish succubus ladies from hell to dance and cheer up?
No, it's not.At least on Merlin's side, this birthday party was no different from other family birthdays.Although the Raven Lord could easily do all of the above, he was not willing to do so.The people who attended the birthday party were all their own family members, except for Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben, who were all superhumans.Everyone is well-informed, and there is no point in playing that kind of flower work.Besides, showing off your strength is something you shouldn't do to your family, and Merlin can't even think of summoning a succubus to dance...
Are you kidding!
Carol, Elsa, Zatana, Icarus, Ciel, Xuanlan, and even the spirit butterfly that has never shown much is here, and they are still playing that trick, isn't it looking for their own death?"
Happy birthday, Matt."
After the children finished singing the birthday song and flocked to Matt to blow out the candles, as usual, Merlin, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his hand, and the arrogance of the Seven Deadly Sins demons who served as a temporary waiter quietly appeared beside the big guy and handed him a glass of wine.Merlin raised his glass and said to his brother, Matt, the titular adopted son, "I believe that if your father could see the scene today, he would be very, very satisfied, very, very happy. ”Speaking of which, Merlin looked at Matt, who had grown up and had his own life and career, it was really difficult to combine this handsome and energetic young man with the image of Jack, the boxer who was always drunk.The Raven Lord sighed with emotion.He took a sip of his drink and said to Matt, "Even though Jack and I aren't friends, but...
It's been 12 in the blink of an eye, but I finally lived up to the man's original request. ”Matt held his wine glass, and for a moment he was a little sad.When his father died, he was already a sensible child, and although he rarely talked about it over the years, the events of that night were unforgettable for Matt's life.Standing beside him, Ava, dressed in a beautiful white dress, glared at her brother fiercely, blaming Merlin for talking about it on this day.This fierce look made Merlin grin.Sure enough, it was the water that the married daughter threw out...
Tsk, that's where the boyfriend begins.Thinking of this, Merlin couldn't help but look back at the other sisters who were sitting on the other side talking, Raven and Lorna probably won't be like this in the future, right?
Well, Laura certainly won't.According to the situation that the little girl is still silent, whether she can have a boyfriend in the future is a matter of two words.In this way, the loneliness of the little wolf girl is still a good thing."
I went to church the other day."
Matt patted Ava's hand and motioned for Ava not to worry, he sat down next to Merlin, holding a wine glass, and whispered to his brother, or adoptive father, "I went to see my mother, Sister Maggie, and talked to her a lot, about her abandonment of me and my father, about all these years of indifference, about my relationship with her. ”The well-known charity lawyer in Hell's Kitchen sighed.He reached out and pushed the sleek red round-rimmed sunglasses he was wearing on his eyes, and said, "I reconciled with her." ”"Oh?"
The Raven Lord said with interest: "You just forgive her for all these years of indifference?
If it were me, I probably wouldn't be so open-minded...""
It's not so much that I forgave her, but that I untied the knot in my heart."
Matt smiled, he raised his glass to Merlin quite calmly, and said, "Not everyone has to be strong in the face of responsibility, maybe the union of my father and mother was a mistake in the first place, but this mistake brought at least one positive result, that is, me." ”"My mother spent her whole life atoning for that mistake, and maybe she was showing concern and concern for me in this way, and she hoped that God would not extend her sin to me."
Matt took a sip of wine, he said, "Anyway, I forgave her, fate was good for me, I lost my father and I lost my mother, but it gave me the best...
Substitute. ”"Thank you, Merlin, for everything you've done for me all these years, I'm sorry, I've never been very articulate and I've misunderstood you.""
I don't like to hear you say that."
The Raven Lord feigned anger and said to Matt: "This sounds like a polite thank you between outsiders, I don't like it, we are family, Matt, family doesn't say this...
Let me ask you a question. ”Merlin looked left and right, he lowered his voice, and said to Matt: "Regarding your father's murderer, I know that you have not let go of it all these years, do you need my help or the rest of the family in this matter?"
”He accentuated his voice, and he said, "Think about it, I'll only ask you this once." ”Matt didn't hesitate in the slightest, he said, "No, no, I'll fix it."
You all have your own things to do, and really, I'm really the most ordinary person in my family when it comes to power, so let me end my problems in an ordinary way. ”"Besides, Ava will definitely intervene, even if I don't need her help, she will definitely not stand idly by, so...
I don't think I need any other help. ”"Okay."
Merlin reached out and patted Matt on the shoulder, and he said, "Then let it go, be bold." ”"You'll never go to hell, but your enemies won't."
Hearing this, Matt's expression was somewhat helpless.Merlin said that he would not help, but this was a little "small" help from the Raven Lord to Matt, and not only him, but everyone in the Riley family enjoyed this "super" treatment.Whether you want it or not, as long as Merlin stays in the position of Lord of Hell for a day, this is something like a buff that can never be dispelled.Merlin took the wine glass and walked up to the second floor, and in his original study, a large round table was set up, and the housewives were playing bridge, looking like a delicate atmosphere.Icarus, who was holding Coo, was banned from the table, and the Glasses Lady fouled her arithmetic power was not allowed.In the same way, Zatanna could only sit and watch, Xuanlan stood beside Hill with coffee, and there was Zhen.
Frank, the kobold strategist, is constantly giving random advice.Elsa is the calmest.Well, that's right, she was so calm that the cold air was surging all over her body.Among the ladies in the room, Miss Lingdie, dressed in a black evening dress, was the most out of place, standing by the window bored with a wine glass, and Lingdie's eyes lit up when she saw Merlin enter the room.A few seconds later, amid the strange gazes of the women, Spiritbutterfly reached out and pulled the cumbersome decorations from her hair and dragged Merlin out of the room.But no one expressed dissatisfaction with this.Lingdie is free by nature, and the relationship with Merlin is the purest, which is the relationship between pao friends, and you can't see each other a few times a year, so be tolerant.Just don't see it...
Well, how much fun bridge is.A few hours later, just as the family was enjoying a peaceful time, Raven Lord and Miss Lingdie were tidying up and walking out of the bedroom, when the door was pushed open.In Ava's joyful welcome, Daisy, who was wearing a long black dress, finally arrived just in time for the birthday party to end.She didn't come alone.The last man of the Riley family, Phil.
Coulson followed behind her, with his birthday present in his hand, and apologized to Matt vigorously, saying that he was late and so on."
Alas, it's hard to talk to the old men of the World Security Council."
Daisy complained as she impatiently took off the necklace around her neck, and she was giggling with a group of girls as before, and she complained loudly."
I've told them all the news, and they're still asking questions, and I'm so annoyed!
I finally know why the cunning crystal shirked the errand in every possible way. ”"We just got back from Washington."
Coulson saw Merlin walking down the stairs accompanied by Butterflies, and explained to Merlin, "Daisy is an envoy of the Inhuman Dynasty, who has come to explain to the World Security Council about the recent SS-class event, 'Star War'. ”"I'm a representative of the S.D.O.L.D. organization, and Hill is here, right?
It just so happened that I had something to say to her. ”"She's playing cards, you can wait."
Merlin beckoned to his brother, and the two sat down on the couch, while Raven Maharaja looked at Coulson, who was usually busy with official business and was one of the few senior executives that Hill relied on most at the Raccoon City base.After the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Phil not only did not feel any easier, but looked more tired.Of course, as a witcher, he has a lot of energy.But the hairline, which has finally changed, is getting more and more weird like it was at the beginning..."
Uh, bald."
Coulson looked into Merlin's gaze, he didn't need to guess, he knew what Merlin was thinking.He had also gotten used to this kind of gaze, and he had a feeling of resignation, saying, "I've tried magic too, but it didn't work much, so be it." ”"Don't talk about that."
Merlin politely withdrew his gaze, he looked at his brother, and as soon as he spoke, he had a kind of parental bearing.He said, "You and that cellist, called Audrey, right?"

You've been living together for almost 10 years, when are you going to get married?
”"Can you not talk about this?"
Coulson was embarrassed and said, "Audrey...
She's an unmarried, how can I say it, I'm almost 40 years old, brother, don't worry about me, talk about something else. ”"Okay."
The Raven Lord was as good as he could, and he picked up a cup of tea and said, "Then let's talk about the interstellar war."
It's the Kree who came across the stars to send heads, right?
