I'm the Demon King in Marvel

After marriage, Adam's performance declined and several consecutive investment failures ruined his reputation as a "gold medal broker".

Although he managed to hold on for two more years with the help of his savings, his luck was getting worse and worse. He lost money on everything he bought. Sometimes, he would encounter a sure win but would encounter a big investor's market crash and lose everything.

In the end, no one was willing to ask Adam for financial management anymore, so he could only wander the streets and make a living by fooling a few strangers.

When income drops suddenly, the marriage is no longer happy.

The hot wife who was won over by money couldn't stand the gap. She was not happy with Adam every day and eventually she blatantly cheated on him.

Today is another fruitless day.

After a day of selling on the street, Adam Smith dragged his tired body back to his workstation. He didn't even have time to sit down and rest for a while before his supervisor came to his door.

"Adam, you should understand the rules. The company has limited space in the securities hall. You will lose this position starting tomorrow."

“But I earned this workstation through my performance!” Adam Smith growled, “This workstation belongs to me!”

"That was back then. Now you've been at the bottom for three consecutive months. If it weren't for your past contributions, the company would have fired you last year."

The supervisor sneered, turned around and pointed to the alley across the street from the glass floor-to-ceiling window.

The alleys are filled with a large number of rookie brokers with no background. They are not qualified to enter the trading hall and can only sell stocks on the streets. Even if they find clients, they must ask the traders in the hall to complete the transactions.

Of course, this requires a certain commission to be paid to the traders in the hall.

"Now you just go back to where you should be, and believe that you have gotten used to it."

After the teasing, he issued an ultimatum with a cold face.

"I don't want your stuff on my desk after get off work."

When things are going well, there is kindness everywhere; when life hits its lowest point, people around you will become hideous and scary.

"Asshole!" Adam Smith punched his workstation, furious.

But in the end it was just impotent rage.

Wall Street is cruel, and Adam had foreseen this outcome from the moment his performance began to decline and was slow to recover.

People don't believe in tears here. Even crocodiles won't shed tears on this street, because there are no philanthropists here.

Carrying a large cardboard box and a briefcase, Adam Smith was on his way home.

The setting sun paints the sky with dazzling colors.

Adam Smith, bent over and with his head down, had no time to appreciate the sunset. He walked back to his home in silence.

This is a street-side apartment in Manhattan.

The apartment is not tall, only three floors, and has its own small yard. It was the house that Adam Smith bought when he was at the peak of his glory days.

As life got worse, one of the decisions Adam was most grateful for was buying the house in full.

At that time, he was so successful in the stock market that he wanted to invest every penny of his money into it. However, his parents kept persuading him to leave a place for himself and his wife to settle down. In addition, he was fascinated by his beautiful wife at that time and thought he should give her a wedding gift. Therefore, he withdrew funds from the stock market to buy a house in full.

When I pushed the door open and entered the room, the wooden ceiling creaked, as if it was bearing some force.

Adam Smith was stunned for a moment, put the big cardboard box and briefcase on the table, picked up the baseball bat from the corner, and walked up the stairs.

The door of the bedroom on the second floor was ajar, and from inside came the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of a wooden stick hitting the water.

Adam Smith pushed open his bedroom door and clenched the baseball bat with both hands so tightly that veins bulged.

"Will you get off my wife?"

A cold voice interrupted the sound of water splashing.

The two busy people turned around and looked over.

"Hey, it's Adam!" The fat man smiled awkwardly and sarcastically: "Wait a moment, Mrs. Smith is too enthusiastic!"

Mrs. Smith, who was downstairs, glanced at her husband and sneered, "Go to the kitchen and cook when you come back."

Then he urged the fat man, “Don’t worry about him, let’s continue.”

Adam Smith tried to raise the baseball bat in his hand, but he finally put it down, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

Because the fat man is his boss.

After losing his job in the securities hall, Adam could still make a living by "street salesman". If this blow continues, he will completely lose his job and face bankruptcy.

The wife would then have reason to file for divorce, and he would then first lose half of his property and would also have to bear the cost of supporting his illegitimate daughter, leaving him penniless.

The silent man walked towards the kitchen downstairs, looked at the sunset disappearing in the distant sky, and welcomed the darkness.

The most desperate thing in the world is that the sun sets every day.

The darkness seemed to have no end.

Half an hour later, the fat man left with a satisfied look on his face. Adam Smith, who had finished dinner early, came to the study on the third floor carrying a briefcase.

He dropped the briefcase and a black videotape was thrown out.

Chapter 28 What's the use of this piece of meat?

Adam Smith looked at the black videotape thrown on the floor with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't remember when such an old-fashioned videotape appeared in his briefcase.

I picked up the videotape and looked through it front and back, but there was no writing on the surface.

With a hint of curiosity, Adam found a rarely used VCR from the attic. His life had become colorless, and every day was like a slave driven by a whip. He could not find any novelty, let alone surprises.

I connected the TV and inserted the videotape, and a snowy scene appeared on the screen.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Adam felt a pair of eyes looking at him on the screen, and then the picture began to appear.

There is an Asian woman in the picture, wearing a red dress, with her hair loose and draped over her shoulders, and her long black hair falling to her waist. She looks charming and attractive, but her every move is free and unrestrained, bold and generous, and full of heroism.

He had a wine gourd slung around his waist, and from time to time he would drink from it, letting the wine spill. However, he had no intention of being unruly, and only felt a sense of naturalness in following his heart.

If it were just these images, Adam Smith would only be a little surprised and then turn off the TV. Having been accustomed to American culture since childhood, he was unable to understand the essence of Eastern culture.

But the next scene left him dumbfounded and he could not look away.

The woman in red in the picture jumped onto a tree more than ten meters high, and her body swayed, leaving a red afterimage at the top of the forest.

Then he jumped up from the bottom of the cliff, and just tapped the cliff twice with his toes, and rushed to the cliff which was higher than the Empire State Building.

This is just the amazing speed. The woman in red behind her actually used her slender palm to smash a rock more than ten meters high, but her palm was not damaged at all.

When fighting with the enemy, she drew out her slender sword and with two light strokes she cut the enemy's weapon and even body into pieces.

These enemies are not ordinary people either. Each of them can chop off a horse's body with a sword. The strongest enemy can even chop out a laser-like so-called "sword energy" that can easily chop off a house.

But even such a powerful enemy only survived for a few seconds in the hands of the woman in red.

The last scene was even more outrageous. The woman in red walked alone on the sea, rushing towards the Dutch Invincible Fleet, with the sword in her hand dancing. The dense shells coming from the sky were shattered by her sword light, and she rushed onto the warship in just a moment.

What followed was a one-sided massacre. The sword of the woman in red was as sharp as a flying swallow. The bodies of the Dutch soldiers, the steel knives in their hands, the sturdy decks, the thick masts and even the metal gun barrels were like bubbles. As long as they were touched by the sword light of the woman in red, they shattered one after another.

Finally, the woman in red who destroyed an entire Dutch fleet stood on the mast of the flagship, took down the wine jug, and drank it all in one gulp.

The flagship beneath his feet was in tatters, with corpses scattered all over the ground, and was slowly sinking into the sea.

At the end of the sea is the afterglow of the sunset.

The evening glow surged, printing eight Chinese characters in the sky.

The sun rises in the east, and I am invincible!

This is an adaptation by Lin Hao, a plot that Sadako recorded on a videotape using her superpowers.

There is only one real character in the whole story, Dongfang Bubai, played by Sadako. The others are all illusions created by super powers. There is no such person as Linghu Chong. The simple and crude plot is only to show the power of Dongfang Bubai.

In addition, Lin Hao's adaptation of Dongfang Bubai did not use embroidery needles but instead used a long sword. This was naturally to promote the "Bixie Sword Manual". Otherwise, Americans who did not understand oriental martial arts culture would not be able to understand why Dongfang Bubai, who used an embroidery needle, would be more powerful than his enemy who used a sword.

To put it bluntly, this is a promotional video for "The Book of the Sword of Exorcism".

How can you make American men harden their hearts and take the initiative to show the power of swordsmanship in a simple and straightforward way?

After watching this short video, Adam Smith was shocked by the strength of the woman in red, but he was not deeply moved. After all, it was just a videotape, perhaps a movie made in the country across the ocean.

But who would have thought that at the end of the scene, after the woman in red finished drinking, she turned her head and stared at Adam Smith in front of the TV.

The next moment, the scene that almost scared Adam Smith to death happened.

The woman in red suddenly leaped up and flew towards the camera, then passed through the TV screen and appeared alive in front of Adam Smith.

Adam Smith was so stunned that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"This mental quality is not good!" Lin Hao, who was borrowing Sadako's spirit, shook his head.

The contract with the little devil allows Lin Hao to freely control every soul that has signed the contract, and can tamper with memories, borrow perspectives, and even remotely control them with his own consciousness.

All souls that sign a contract with the devil are selling their souls to the devil.

At this moment, Lin Hao did not completely occupy Sadako's spirit body, but only half of it.

"I'll show you this time, and you can follow my instructions next time."

First, use Sadako's superpowers to drag the target's consciousness into the illusion and show him the "Sword Manual of Exorcism"...

After Adam Smith regained consciousness, he found himself in a space covered by black and white snowflakes. In this black and white world, the only eye-catching person was Sadako in red.

"You...you are the guy from the movie!" Adam Smith recognized him and was horrified: "Where...where is this place?"

"Do you want to gain power?" Lin Hao used Sadako's spirit to make a voice that was neither male nor female.

"strength?"

When Adam Smith was a child, he also read some fantasy comics and watched some movies, in which similar plots often appeared, so he soon realized that he had the same adventures as those protagonists.

"Of course, of course I want power!"

Life had become so rotten that Adam Smith was eager to change it, even if it meant selling his soul to the devil.

"Very good, I can give you the same powerful power as me." Lin Hao demonstrated to Sadako the lines she should say in the future.

"Really?" Adam Smith, who had just seen the movie, was surprised.

Dongfang Bubai is so powerful in the movie that he is inhuman. Even though today's technology is much more advanced than during the Dutch Invincible Armada, if he possessed his power, he would still become an extraordinary human being.

He will be more powerful than the historical Captain America. At least Captain America cannot jump onto the Empire State Building in just a few steps, nor can he swing his sword to create a laser that can cut across a building.

"Yes, but this power has a price." Lin Hao controlled Sadako to smile.
