Marvel's Superman Chapter 57
Advertisement
Luke thought of Captain America. At this time, the other party should still be selling bonds on the stage and touring around.
"He has made films, acted with the Senator and recently published a personal comic strip. Rogers is much more popular than you!"
Carter chuckled.
She seemed to remember Camp Lehigh. Luke and Rogers had the best friendship.
Later, they both became super soldiers together, but with very different outcomes.
"In about three days. The Howling Commandos and I will depart for New York. I'll recommend the army to have Steve brought in with me. "
Luke said to himself.
He is no longer a third-rate soldier at the beck and call of others but has gained a measure of authority.
If the Committee of politicians wanted to dictate him, they are not qualified!
"He would be very grateful to you. "
With her arms clasped around her chest, Carter said, "Those Italian ladies are looking at you with such enthusiasm as if they want to eat you like a dessert after dinner. "
Luke is the centre of attention at the banquet. Carter could always hear the women talking about how they wanted to make the war hero who liberated Italy, their guest.
"I know. A beautiful lady stopped me in the hallway and said she would like to thank me for liberating Italy, overthrowing the dictator, and asking me to visit her room. "
"It looks like you didn't go to her room. Still regretting it?"
Carter's brow furrowed, and her attitude turned cold.
She couldn't quite make the connection between the slightly frivolous young man in front of her and the Allies' legendary hero.
"Of course. Any man who refuses such an invitation can't help but feel sorry for himself. "
Luke said with honesty.

"Miss Carter, don't look at me with contempt. Even a war hero couldn't hate a beautiful girl who throws herself at him. It's human nature. You should admire my honesty and not think of me as a womaniser. "
"Brigadier General Cavill, you are better at sophistry than the politicians on the Committee. "
The red-dressed and gorgeous female agent said sarcastically.
"It's the art of the language, Miss Carter. Many friends have suggested that people who can talk like me should publish a book after the war. It should be called 'From Private to General in two months. P.s: The youngest general in the United States uses his personal experience to teach you how to reach the top in life! What do you think?"
Luke was like a flamboyant prodigal son, not as steady as he was during the day, much to Carter's disgust.
"Well, chit chat time is over, and I have to go and visit ... Miss Issa's room. Have a lovely evening, Miss Carter. "
Luke smiled as the atmosphere stiffened.
Holding the champagne in his hand, he turned and left.
Behind him, Carter looked annoyed. Her feminine instincts are telling her that this was not Luke's true colours.
But why did he do this?
….
Two days later, Luke, dressed in a Brigadier General's uniform, rushed off the ship.
As he stepped onto the ground of Palermo's port, the empty harbour was crowded with Mafia men who had come to greet him.
A mob of fierce, suit-clad thugs, led by Alessandro, lined up in a row.
Eisenhower's Anglo-American Coalition forces have taken over Italy and carried out encirclement and suppression activities against those who tried to revive the fascist, just as Mussolini swept away the Mafia.
The tables have turned, and now the Mafia retaliated.

"General ..."
Glancing at Luke's epaulettes and the ostentation and extravagance behind him,
Alessandro changed his address carefully.
This mafia leader, still with that humble look, was even more respectful than before.
Following Luke may be the best decision he has made in his life.
Two weeks ago, the other party was only an Allied Captain, and now he had been promoted to Brigadier General.
The speed of this promotion was like riding a rocket!
Moreover, Luke is now recognised as a war hero by the Allied forces, a legend who led his team to conquer Italy!
Such a sensational event will be talked about for centuries to come.
Alessandro thought that he could appear in it, which was no different from being a part of history. What an honour for a gangster to receive such a privilege!
"Ms Malèna is still at the hotel and is preparing to give you a warm welcome when she heard of your return to Sicily. "
Alessandro bends slightly. Knowing that the times are different, his attitude towards Malèna showed some respect.
"Why didn't she come to the port?"
Luke looked up and looked out at the crowd outside the dock.
Many people were eager to see the legendary man whom Roosevelt and Churchill called 'Superman' looked like.
"Ms Malèna said that it was inconvenient for her to appear in public with the General. "
Alessandro bowed his head.
Luke's eyes flickered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth lifted as he whispered, "I see. Cossa, are you happy with your life now?"
"Very happy! The new constable who had just arrived in town was respectful and the Governor of Palermo also visited me yesterday. All thanks to you. "
Alessandro nodded his head.
He has acquired both power and status.
In Sicily nowadays, anyone who sees him takes off their hat and says 'Sir' with respect.
Even the bosses of the Camorra family.
Luke looked around at the fierce mafia members and spoke as he walked away, "I can give you another chance to choose. After the end of the dispute, the Allies had different opinions about what to do with Italy. "
"The United States thought that Italy should be entrusted to the United Nations, while the British were only interested in the overseas colonies and wanted to gobble up the pie, and the Soviets thought it would be safer to have a joint trusteeship between the three countries. For the time being, no one can convince anyone. "
Alessandro frowned in contemplation as the future of the country dictated the future path of the Mafia.
Luke continued, "Whatever the outcome, the Mafia is destined to fall, you are just a product of a period of social instability, and once the order is restored, the state will crack down on it. Just like when Mussolini came to power, he attacked you in order to win public opinion. "
"Cossa, I am certain of your ability. So, you can choose to stay in Sicily and continue to enjoy life as a family manager ..."
"Or, come with me to North America, where there will be more opportunities. "
As soon as Luke finished, he looked at him as if he were resting and waiting for an answer.

"Alright, so I have this idea, a completely original one by the way, never done before." I say. "Alright, lets hear it." You reply happily. "What if you got trapped in the body of a tentacle monster that looks like a virus in a world that is like a videogame, with skills and... whoops slip of the tendril there, what I meant to say is Mutations and Levels as you evolve your way up from being that lowly creature into a slightly better lowly creature, all the while, an evil devil person watches over you for entertainment purposes." I say making weird hand gestures across the table. "Oh and that main character used to be a human male and uses its past experience as one to survive in this new world as a little mass of flesh." I pull out a little ball with suction cup tendrils and show you. "So, what do you think?" " I dont know seems, a little sameish, I think Im gonna go."

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
