Chapter 18 Frank Castle

 In a happy atmosphere, a desperate middle-aged man is always out of harmony with the entire atmosphere of the restaurant.

 When Alvin held Laura to make her happy, the middle-aged man bent down, put his elbows on the bar, turned his head towards Alvin, and looked at the bustling crowd with a little loneliness.

 "Bring me a glass of whiskey."

 The man's eyes were very familiar to Alvin. JJ's eyes when he first arrived were the same as the man's, they weren't dead, but they looked as if they were dead. Everyone seemed to be looking at a corpse, more like a machine than a living person, and he was injured. Yes, there is a strong smell of disinfectant and blood on the body.

 Alvin looked at him, in this happy atmosphere, there was nothing unpleasant, only beer was free today.

 Alvin took the glass and poured a glass of whiskey for the man. Alvin pushed the glass of whiskey in front of the man.

 Smiling, Alvin said, "I hope you have a nice evening."

 The man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Can we chat?"

 "About what?" Alvin asked curiously.

 The man sighed and said uncertainly, "About that child." As he spoke, his eyes pointed at the ceiling.

 Alvin was a little confused, and with some caution, Alvin said in a cold tone, "Who do you mean? And who are you?"

 The man drank whiskey from the glass, covered his face in pain, and said, "Who am I? I am a bad husband, an irresponsible father, and a fool who doesn't know what the most important things in life are."

 Alvin looked at the man thoughtfully, and called Jessica to look after Laura, "Laura, play with Sister Jessica for a while, okay? Dad has something to do."

 Jessica ran over, a look of excitement on her face.

 But he found that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong. Looking at the distraught man, Jessica said, "It's you, you're here again." Turning to Alvin, Jessica said, "He's been here for a few days, and I wanted to tell you this afternoon. Looks like he's got something to do."

 Alvin nodded to show that he understood, and handed Laura to Jessica, Alvin said: "Jessica, take my daughter upstairs and play for a while. I have something to do here."

 Alvin kissed Laura on the cheek and watched Jessica take Laura upstairs.

 "Let me guess, you're Nick's father who only exists on paper?" Alvin asked sharply, ignoring the man's pain.

 The man didn't care about Alvin's tone and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm that irresponsible father." Then he pushed the glass to Alvin, "Please bring me a glass."

 Alvin poured him another glass of whiskey and watched him drink it all without speaking. Alvin knew that the man had a lot to say, and he just had to be a good listener.

"I am the best special forces commander in the country! I was born and died for this country! I even gave up my family's life! I didn't even see it myself when Nick was born!"

 Alvin could feel the anger in the man's tone, partly for himself and partly for the country.

 He needs some wine and a good listener.

 Handing the man a bottle of whiskey, showing that Alvin was listening.

 The man took the bottle and took a sip, "I was born and died for this country, but my wife and child were bombed, my wife died, and my child lost his left leg. That damn politician, he hid the bad news and put me on a one-year mission. That bastard just treated me like a machine and considered our lives as worthless! Those killers, those Italian mafia. Yes, they wandered around until I found them and put them in a meat grinder."

 Alvin swallowed his saliva. He knows about it. The Italian mafia family "Cesare" in the port area, a family of more than 40 people, were all killed, put into a meat grinder, and ground into meat sauce. A large family eventually loaded two coffins and buried them hastily.

 As a result, a man came and told him that he did it!

 A bit too exciting!

 Admittedly, there are no good people in the Cesare family!

 But that bastard even killed his cat and dog, this bastard is simply hell!

 The man ignored Alvin's slightly changed face and took a sip of wine, "What hurts me the most is that my former comrades in arms, also tried to hide the truth of this matter and tried to prevent me from taking revenge. Fortunately. Nick is still alive and gave me his address here."

 Alvin complained in his heart, even I dare not tell you about your temperament!

 46 people in the "Cesare" family, bodyguards, subordinates, and 16 damn guests all died.

 A small war can't kill so many people!

 "I've been here for a few days, thank you! Thank You! Not only did you save Nick's life, but now Nick is fine, I never thought Nick would be like this." The man's eyes were shining, "although there is a missing Leg, but cheerful, bright, and no sense of inferiority. I don't know how you do it, but thanks bro!"

 Alvin waved his hand, poured himself a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and said, "Is your problem solved? I mean problems outside the Cesare family. You know, I consider Nick to be my family, and you are just an ex-father on paper, you only exist in Nick's fantasies. If you are still having trouble, I think I will stop you from approaching Nick, you must have investigated me, you should know that I have this ability."

The man glanced at Alvin, not angry because of Alvin's threatening tone, but solemnly gave him a military salute, "I won't thank you for Nick, I see, you get along with him like family. I thank myself, you saved me from the pain of going to hell, and you saved the last ray of light in my life." He lifted the bottle and touched Alvin again, Take a big sip.

 "There are no more problems, remember my former comrade-in-arms said, I made a deal with him, instead of making trouble with that politician's son-in-law, he will solve all my current problems for me."

 Alvin was relieved, he was actually very contradictory.

 Even if this guy is full of problems, can he stop Alvin when he wants to meet Nick?

 Alvin knows how much Nick misses his father who was a hero to him.

 Even though Alvin mostly replaces his father's role, he is not Nick's biological father.

 If this person hadn't appeared, maybe Nick would have forgotten about him long ago, but it had only been a year.

 Alvin hated to admit it, but this man was an extraordinary man.

 If he were in China, he would be a role model for the military, one of the ten model workers.

 Even though Alvin doesn't agree, it's behavior that puts family aside and serves the country.

 But when such a person appears in front of you, you should give him a thumbs up and say, "Thank you!"

 Alvin raised his glass, "Can you ask, who is your comrade in arms? It is possible to have so much energy. The death of so many people is a big deal."

 The man took the bottle and touched Alvin, "Nick Fury, current director of SHIELD."

 The image of an ugly bald head with one eye immediately appeared in Alvin's mind.

 Alvin took a sip of wine and asked, "Then your name~"

 The man looked at Alvin, and said, reaching out and shaking Alvin, and solemnly introduced himself: "I am Frank Castle."
