"No! Riva!"

With a cry in his sleep, Luke cage suddenly woke up from his nightmare!

"Hoo... Hoo..."

Sitting on the bed, he breathed heavily and wiped it casually. Unexpectedly, he found that his forehead was covered with sweat.

Looking at the sunlight projected on the floor through the curtains, he realized that the time had come the next morning

However, his mind was full of clear pictures of nightmares.

In his dream, he saw his dead wife, Riva Connors.

She was lying on the road with blood on her face and stretched out her right hand to the sky, as if she wanted to grasp something. Her face was full of sadness and despair.

At the same time, he kept repeating the same sentence:

"Carl, help me, I don\'t want to die..."

No matter how he shouted or tried to get close, he couldn\'t hold his wife\'s hand.

He can only watch her and spend the last minute of his life in front of himself

Even after waking up, the strong feeling of powerlessness still invaded his body and made him unable to think.

Shaking his head and temporarily dispelling the nightmare from his mind, Luke cage (Carl Lucas) lifted the quilt, naked and walked into the bathroom.

A new day is coming

In an hour.

Luke cage, who just ran back from outside in the morning, met several uninvited guests in front of his apartment

In front of the always quiet apartment, there were five or six big men standing early in the morning. They didn\'t look like easy guys.

Among them, a bearded suit man surrounded by several tattooed men brightened his eyes when he saw Luke cage, snuffed out his cigar and asked, "Luke cage?"

When Luke cage heard the other party call his name, he frowned and looked at the other party, trying to recognize him.

However, from the face he had never seen before, it was clear that the other party was not on his "friends" list.

If you are not a friend but know your name, there is only one possibility: the comer is not good!

"Who are you?"

"Oh, I haven\'t introduced myself yet... My name is Marino. Dalito asked me to come..."

Dalito?!

Even Luke cage, who moved here six months ago, has heard of this name.

As far as he knows, there are several large underground gangs in Los Angeles. Among them, the Italian mafia headed by "dalito" is an existence whose reputation is so bad that even its peers disdain to communicate with each other.

Washing powder, marijuana, arms, human trafficking, underground black fist

They have to get a hand in everything that can make money.

They like to threaten the victim\'s family and force the victim to submit, so as to help them do all kinds of bad things that violate the law

Knowing who he was going to face, Luke cage also had a twelve point spirit in his heart, "what can I do for you?"

"Oh, this is not a good place to talk about things. Won\'t you invite us in?" the bearded suit man spread his hand, with a trace of threat in his tone.

Glancing at each other\'s waist and inadvertently revealing the pistol, Luke cage weighed it a little in his heart and said, "come in."

With that, he took out the key, opened the door of the apartment and walked in.

These tattooed men also followed and entered the apartment together.

In a few minutes

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, the bearded man finally lost his patience and continued to be insincere, but directly stated his purpose of coming today:

"Da Lito asked me to tell you that he wants you to fight rhinoceros."

Rhinoceros is also another famous black boxer in Los Angeles.

Although his record is not as abnormal as Luke cage, he is the only boxer who is considered by the black boxing world to be able to defeat Luke cage

Sitting on the opposite sofa, Luke cage looked up at each other, then said in a low voice, "it\'s not up to me to decide who to fight. You should go to Adam."

Beard seemed to have expected this answer.

He leaned forward slightly, trying to use his fat body to create a sense of oppression.

However, in Luke cage\'s view, he is just an ordinary fat man with a serious halitosis problem

"Of course, we\'ll go... Trust me, he\'ll promise."

The confident tone of the other party made Luke cage frown and seemed to realize something. He asked aloud, "what do you want from me?"

"You see, that\'s the problem..."

Beard spread out his hands and said, "I need you to lose this game!"

Until now, Luke cage finally understood the intention of the other party\'s sudden door: let him fake boxing in the next game!

Speaking of it, the other party didn\'t find him for no reason.

Since he came to Los Angeles and became famous in the "Diamond Heart" club, the whole underground black boxing community knows that there is an invincible black man in the east of Los Angeles, named "diamond"

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Many fugitives who tried to become famous by defeating him have challenged him one after another.

However, Luke cage stunned these desperate guys for fame with a wave of five straight victories without injury.

Officially, because of this, the name "diamond" is even louder.

"Dalito", who saw the opportunity to get rich, thought that if this invincible guy lost in the duel with "rhinoceros", he could make a big profit from it!

Why let Luke cage lose instead of rhinoceros?

The reason is simple: because rhinoceros is his man.

"How about it? In return, you can get a 10% profit. In addition, you can become a contracted boxer under Alito and go to other places to participate in boxing. Countless women who enjoy endless glory and wealth are waving to you."

"Such conditions, I believe, no one will refuse..."

Before the chattering beard finished boasting, Luke cage interrupted him with a voice: "I refuse!"

The scene suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence.

I didn\'t expect Luke cage to refuse. I was beaten in the face in an instant!

The whole face, first from white to black, finally, like a drunk, choked red

Bang!

He slapped the table and shouted:

"Are you playing with me?"
