Chapter 580 - The Embarrassing Spider-Man Costume

Chapter 580: The Embarrassing Spider-Man Costume

“Still in that cave. I came out to kill people. Obviously I wouldn’t bring her along.”

“Is she doing fine?”

“Yeah, apart from being a bit mischievous,” Morgery nodded.

To Chen Zhao, it was only an interlude.

He did not plan to get himself involved in Morgery’s business.

Morgery was determined to remain in the profession. Chen Zhao would not say anything.

He was also not in the position to say anything.

Just like how he had helped Morgery, Chen Zhao believed that Morgery would help him too should he need it.

Of course, it was their own choices.

The next day, Tiger’s name appeared in the sports headlines.

Tiger became popular, extremely popular.

The video of him blasting his opponent Atkin out of the ring in one punch continued to be played on various sports media.

Boxing had a broad audience in America. Tiger appeared before the public like a new superstar.

Chen Zhao could not even remember how much news about Tiger he saw in the next few days.

Some of the media managed to dig out most of the inside story, such as what Tiger had said during the match.

Of course, Tiger also enjoyed the pleasure of being famous.

Wherever he went, he would attract countless stares, especially in the fitness center and the college’s boxing club.

Everyone viewed him as a hero.

Nevertheless, there were also people who had doubts about him.

They believed that Tiger was only lucky.

Very quickly, he would vanish into the masses, as most newbies would.

However, Tiger managed to shut the mouths of all those who questioned him with another match.

He KO-ed another opponent in one punch.

Moreover, his opponent was a well-known boxer who was pretty strong.

Now, Tiger was already in the final four of the BBL.

There were only two rounds left: the semifinals and the finals.

Tiger’s betting odds were already very low.

Nonetheless, the bankers all knew what had happened to Dawson Bank. Nobody dared to assault Tiger anymore.

After all, the betting markets of a state-level competition probably involved only a few million dollars.

After being distributed to the various bankers, they would receive at most a million, or maybe not even a hundred thousand.

The benefits were not big enough for them to take high risks to control the match.

…

“Fali, you’ve already been putting on your makeup for half an hour.”

“Do I not even have the right to put on makeup?”

Questioning a woman about her makeup time was a sure way to enrage her, including Fali.

“No, I’m just wondering why you’re putting makeup. Even if you don’t, you’re still the prettiest.”

“Humph.” Fali widened her eyes at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao did not dare to say anything again. He waited in the living room quietly.

After another half an hour, Fali finally came out.

It was David’s birthday party today.

While they did not have to dress up too formally, any party was like war to a woman.

The makeup should neither be too solemn nor too casual.

Anyway, Chen Zhao could not understand it, like most men.

Nonetheless, he only had to know how to flatter.

This was an essential skill that all men who had a desire to survive should have.

“Fali, aren’t you wearing the Redmoon Heart?”

“I’m not the spotlight today. It belongs to David and Kate.” Fali rolled her eyes at Chen Zhao. “Wearing the Redmoon Heart is way too flaunty unless I want to destroy our friendships.”

Chen Zhao felt that a woman’s world was too complicated.

Anyway, David and he were not that complicated.

As Chen Zhao drove, Fali was still doing her makeup in the front passenger seat.

He could not tell what Fali was doing.

Was there any difference at all?

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at David’s house.

Kate opened the door. She had clearly put a lot of effort into her makeup too.

She hugged Fali, after which she invited the two into the house.

Soon, Leonardo arrived, followed by Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl.

Chen Zhao and Fali had brought the Purple Brew as a present. The wine was in some sense both cheap and expensive.

“Chris, Sienna, who’s this little beauty?” Leonardo asked.

“She’s Cheryl.” Sienna patted Cheryl’s shoulder.

Cheryl opened her hand, where there was a bracelet. “Hello, David, Sienna, and Chris asked me to give this to you. This bracelet can protect you from evil.”

Perhaps only Kate and Leonardo did not know that most people in the house knew about the supernatural world.

“Great, thank you! But don’t you think that it’s slightly inconvenient for a cop like me to wear such a bracelet?” David grabbed the golden bracelet.

It was indeed beautiful. He had no idea what material it was made of, but it was definitely not gold.

With his knowledge of Sienna and Chris, they were not rich, so there was no way they would give him a gold bracelet as a gift.

Chen Zhao took out the Purple Brew which was wrapped in a gift box and gave it to David.

Then, it was Leonardo’s turn. To everyone’s speechlessness, Leonardo took out a Spider-Man garage kit.

Fine, it was Leonardo’s interest.

David happily accepted the item.

The party formed a circle, eating, drinking, and chatting.

“When Chen came to my birthday party that time, he cosplayed as Spider-Man,” Leonardo said.

“Oh, Leonardo, when’s your birthday?” Kate asked.

“3rd of January,” Leonardo replied. “Kate, are you going to give me a present? How about you introduce me to a girlfriend instead?”

“I really want to see Chen cosplaying Spider-Man,” Kate said with a smile.

“Wait, I have a Spider-Man costume at home. Chen, do you want to try it?” David said.

“What? Why do I have to cosplay Spider-Man? I don’t like Spider-Man.”

“Come, try it.”

Ignoring Chen Zhao’s refusal, the group approached him and attempted to remove his shirt.

“Fine, fine… Let go of me. I’ll go and change myself. Damn, why do I have to dress up like a clown?”

Chen Zhao went to the room and changed into the Spider-Man costume. He looked at himself in the mirror. No matter how he looked, he found himself really awkward.

“Chen, stop hiding in the room. Come and let us see.”

“Haven’t you seen in the past? Why do I have to do it again?”

“I haven’t,” Kate said. “You’re always so serious. It’s rare to see you embarrassed.”

“Take a video!”

Everyone took out their phones, including Fali and Cheryl.

“Didn’t you already make videos that time?”

“Chen, make a pose. Shoot the webs.”

“Climb the wall!”

“Hang upside down on the beam!”

“There isn’t a beam in the house…”

Chen Zhao’s head hurt. David was the birthday boy, so he had to cooperate.

“Remember this! When it’s my birthday, I’ll make all of you regret it!”
