5 Dollar friendship

The boss and the black man looked at each other face to face. The drunk young people on the round table were all awake now. They woke up only to find themselves lying on the ground, with their unfinished drinks that were on the table splashed on their faces.

　　"What happened?"

　　" There was a earthquake," the boss explained.

　　Several people complained. After their complaints they helped each other organize themselves and left the bar.

　　Only Ivan knew that it was not an earthquake.

　　Just when the black man grabbed his shoulders with his hands, he had wanted to resist, plus he was imagining himself using his superpowers to fight a certain villain...

　　This alone created such a scene, which was very unintentional.

　　If Ivan had not suppressed the release of the psychic burst, he even felt that this whole block would become ruins. Even the school which was a long distance away would get affected.

　　After understanding psychic energy for so long, he was able to vaguely estimate how powerful the psychic energy that he almost released was.

　　"That was close."

　　Ivan murmured; he did not dare to Exhale at this moment, for fear that something would be destroyed by accident.

　　For him, the world is fragile.

　　"Don't be afraid, boy, the earthquake is over now."

　　Seeing Ivan muttering to himself, the boss quickly comforted him with a relieved face.

　　"How long has it been since New York has had earthquake?" Lucas, the black man, was also relieved, and he asked the boss.

　　"It's been a long time. I'll be back, I'm going to go get some tools to clean up the place."

　　After the boss turned and went into the back room, Lucas turned his head and looked at Ivan: "Boy, are you alright?"

　　Ivan nodded: "I'm fine, but why did you grab me just now?"

　　"I wanted to see how your physique is." Lucas said.

　　"Ok..."

　　"I think you are very thin, but I actually opened a gym nearby. You can come over and exercise if you have nothing to do."

　　Lucas took out a card: "This has the address written on it."

　　"Thank you." Ivan took the card and put it into his jeans pocket.

　　'He has a gym. Then why does he look like a thug?'

　　Seeing Ivan's slightly puzzled expression, Lucas smiled rarely: "I've been on the streets since I was fifteen, and I've been working hard for six years now. I collect protection fees and other jobs. I basically do a little bit of everything. Everything…"

　　"Ok..."

　　"Now that I have some money saved up, I just want to wash my hands and quit. I just live a peaceful life. I know that I can't be a crook forever "

　　"Oh."

　　"If you can, help me advertise to those boys in your school. It only costs sixteen dollars a month and the equipment is free." Lucas said.

　　The price is not expensive at all!

　　"Every time you introduce someone to my gym, and they buy a monthly pass, I will pay you three dollars, how about it?"

　　"Are you advertising your gym again?" The boss came out from the back room with a smile. He was holding the cleaning tools and walking towards the bar. "Your facilities are not very comprehensive."

　　"So what? I am the only one nearby, and I deliberately planned the location."

　　"That's because only you dare to open a gym in that area."

　　That night, Ivan met Lucas, a black man who ran a gym.

　　Since then, Ivan has gone to Lucas's gym almost every afternoon after school.

　　Not because he wanted to become a muscular man, but because he wanted to keep his body healthy by strengthening himself.

　　No matter in the previous life or in this life, Ivan was very thin, and he always believed that it was because he was thin and weak that he was easily entangled by illness.

　　In New York, children of the same age as him are very strong. In contrast, Ivan's limbs appear slender, and he wants to improve the current situation through exercise.

　　Jessica quickly discovered that Ivan would go out to play by himself every day after school. Under her questioning, she learned that Ivan was going to work out. So, she occasionally goes to the gym with Ivan when there are no extra classes.

　　Although he heard that the law and order around the gym is not very good, Ivan has not encountered a bad person in the past month. He hopes to meet some so that he can practice his actual control of psionic energy.

　　Unfortunately, villains are not so easy to encounter.

　　Today, after school, Jessica said that she would go to a friend's birthday party. Ivan was not invited and did not plan to go. So, after the dinner in a nearby restaurant, he walked alone on the way to the gym.

　　Lucas' gym is very remote, and it is difficult for anyone to know that there is a gym there without publicity.

　　Just before arriving, a red-haired young man on the road blocked Ivan's way.

　　"Do you need something?" Ivan had a hunch that someone was finally looking for trouble from him.

　　"Hand over all your cash, and then you can go." The red-haired youth responded with his purpose.

　　"Sorry, but no." Ivan felt his own psionic energy. He has been practicing controlling his psychic energy this month, and he had controlled it very well.

　　But he still did not dare to be careless, because the previous practice subjects were all objects, but now he wants to use it on people.

　　He predicted that if he wanted to teach the red-haired youth in front of him, he would have to suppress his psychic energy to a level smaller than that of a curved pen.

　　'Now is the time to test the results of your practice!'

　　"Where's your money? You should have some?" The youth removed the broken hair from his forehead, took out a dagger from his waist, and said maliciously.

　　"It was robbed." Ivan said, " I've been hungry all day because of it."

　　'This is good! It is finally happening!! Now, when he tried to attack me, I should control my strength and counterattack!'

　　"Is that so? It seems..." The Red hair stared at Ivan coldly, he plays with the dagger in his hand.

　　Ivan is ready to deal with all situations!

　　"I can only let you go." The red hair said.

　　"Eh?" Ivan was slightly surprised.

　　"What's the matter?" The red hair raised an eyebrow.

　　"You're just going to let me go?" Ivan asked blankly.

He Is now in the mood to test his power, and the youth says this?

　　"What else? You have no money and have been hungry all day." The red hair said lightly, pinning the dagger to his waist.

　　"Why would you not hit me? You should be very angry if you can't get any money from me." Ivan has the mentality of fishing for trouble, hoping that the other party will not just give up like this.

　　"Why should I waste my energy on hitting you? I said you can go." The red hair said while sitting down on a big tree, taking out his phone and playing with it.

　　'(?д?;) Are bad guys so easy to get rid of? I do not need superpowers at all. I thought they said that the Marvel world is dangerous...'

　　Thinking like this, Ivan decided to just give up. If only he did not say that he was broke.

　　However, just as he was about to walk past the red hair, the red hair suddenly raised his head and stared at Ivan coldly.

　　"Stop for a second." He shouted coldly.

　　Sure enough... it will not be that simple.

　　Ivan turned to the red-haired young man, and saw the young man stand up and walk towards him.

　　One step, two steps, three steps...

　　Finally, he walked in front of Ivan.

　　"Take it."

　　He handed over a five-dollar note.

　　"What are you doing?"

　　"Didn't you say you have been hungry all day? Take it, your stomach will be in pain if you don't eat anything." The red-haired young man said.
