It is rare to see the afternoon sun in Gotham, especially in the winter of December.
Anne, who had been on the road all morning, couldn't help but her eyelids were trembling up and down. After the feeling of being tipsy came to her brain, she simply lay down on the bed in the guest room and fell asleep.
When she woke up in a daze, there were "squeaking" sounds in her ears from time to time, as if an object was shaking.
"Are there any rats in the bathroom? The rats in Gotham City should be much smaller than the rats in the country." Annie rubbed her eyes and got out of bed.
Carol opened her eyes wide and called her in surprise: "Niece Anne, what are you going to do?"
"Go to the bathroom for convenience. Also, are there rats in our villa?" Annie didn't think much, opened her mouth and yawned.
Carol lay on her back on the bed, looking down at Annie's confused niece. She hesitated to speak, but when she saw Annie's feet landing on the ground and walking towards the bathroom, she chose to shut up.
Those two guys... deserve to be embarrassed... Even the Skrulls are not as hateful as they are! At least the Skrulls will not disturb other people's sleep, whether it is at night or in the afternoon!
Anne was just about to push the door open and get rid of the "not-so-big rat" inside, but before she could hold the doorknob with her right hand.
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and then Robert appeared in front of her with a normal expression.
"Uh...huh?" Annie looked at Robert, and then at Vanessa, who was behind Robert and had a blushing face.
"You...you guys?" Annie's mind was completely lost.
Why is this reporter from the Daily Bugle still staying in the villa? Isn’t he here for official business?
Also, why is he staying with cousin Vanessa now, and in the same bathroom?!
Annie's head seemed to be struck by lightning, her eyes opened wider and wider, and her mouth gradually turned into the shape of an egg.
Robert greeted him calmly: "Miss Anne, you seem to be confused?"
Annie pointed at Vanessa and then looked at him.
"Ah, well, in fact, in addition to being a reporter for the Daily Bugle, I also have another identity as a masseur... If you also..." Rob just wanted to continue introducing his new profession.
A pain suddenly spread from the lower back throughout the body...
Vanessa came forward: "Actually, cousin, this Mr. Robert is your cousin's current boyfriend. I forgot to introduce him at the beginning..."
"Boyfriend?! Cousin, you actually found a boyfriend?!" Annie was so shocked that she completely turned her attention from the encounter in the bathroom just now to the identity of Robert's boyfriend.
"How old is he this year? Where does he live?"
Annie held Vanessa's arm and asked questions. The expression on her face was indescribably weird. Robert once saw a tourist with a similar expression in the zoo.
"Also, how did you meet? A reporter from the Daily Bugle and a wealthy daughter who owns an art gallery."
Vanessa laughed awkwardly. She guided Annie to sit down at the table and told her past with Robert in detail: "When I saw him just now, he was still full..."
The two exchanged words in a serious manner, which made Robert's scalp tingle. Vanessa even described her "ugly appearance" in an embellished manner, and happily added words such as "cute" and "shy", which were almost on the edge of Robert's forehead.
Label it "younger brother".
Hurry up and leave... After feeling the look from Vanessa, Robert was frightened and quickly left this place of right and wrong.
Of course, this is just a small episode that happened in the villa.
As a reserve player who wants to join Ark Company, Annie also showed off her unique talents.
Punch the wall.
The slightest crack spread from the fist mark to the surroundings, and with a loud bang, Robert, Vanessa and Carol finally saw Anne's "talent".
"As expected of the Odessa family!" Carol marveled.
"Anne's physique has initially acquired the ability to fight. All she needs to do next is to learn a few more practical fighting skills."
Vanessa is already used to strange things: "But cousin Anne, how do you have this strange power?"
"I don't know much about it, but I've eaten a lot since I was a kid. It shouldn't be surprising that I have such great strength, right?"
It's strange, Miss Anne...Robert really wanted to say the last sentence.
She is not a mutant, nor is she a mutant who has been given an evolutionary drug, nor is she a money-maker like Iron Man and Batman, nor is she someone like Danny Iron Fist who has mastered the skills of punching and kicking.
It would be strange if it were true that Annie had superpowers after eating a lot of food.

Level 3 strength attribute... Starlight really gave Rob a little surprise.
I originally thought that the third-level attributes would be obtained from powerful villains, but unexpectedly they appeared in Xingguang, a black-robed picket. This shiny girl seems to really bring good luck...
This is what Robert thought at the moment, but three hours later, he knew deeply what a wrong judgment he had made.
Looking at the two guys in front of him, one black and one green, Robert thought he was dazzled at first.
While I was half asleep upstairs, I heard a loud noise coming from downstairs.
After Robert put on his pajamas and went downstairs, he was met by two eight-foot tall men.
One of the black jelly eyes is like two crescent moons, and when the mouth opens and closes, the teeth exposed are like the sharp teeth of a shark, which is extremely dangerous.
The muscles of another big green man looked as if they were stuffed with cotton. They were as swollen as boulders and looked even more unreal.
The Hulk opened his mouth and screamed strangely, but Venom stopped him with his hand.
There is something strange about this scene. Venom, who usually gets into trouble, is actually like a nanny, trying hard to hold the Hulk back from hurting the "frail man" in front of him.
Robert was surprised for a moment, but soon regained his composure.
In this inexplicable and unclear situation, pretending to be silent is the most effective way to deal with it.
Anyway, even if the secret is exposed, Robert, who is now at the third level of strength, can also take advantage of the situation to test his arm strength and see how far he is compared to big men like Hulk Venom.
He sat down in the middle of the chair in the living room as if nothing had happened, and asked calmly: "What are the two distinguished guests from afar doing to come to my villa late at night?"
Fortunately, Carol was not in the villa at night to hunt down the Skrulls, otherwise the two "big guys" in front of them would not know if they could leave here safely tonight.
Watching the two people in front of you gradually shrink, revealing their original appearance as ordinary people.
Robert couldn't help but feel lucky for them.
But when he heard the faint snoring coming from the bedroom, his face almost became tense.
This little girl Annie is still sleeping, but the key is that she sleeps so hard?!
