Samuel and Oliver Queen met half a month ago. At that time, he had just finished renovating this bookstore, preparing to wait for the 'Black Canary', 'White Canary', 'Speedy', and 'Huntress' from the Green Arrow Multiverse to expand his Birds of Prey team.
As a result, he didn't wait for the beautiful women, but first waited for the future Green Arrow.
At that time, Oliver Queen was being chased and beaten, and in a panic, he ran into the bookstore, and then was 'heroically saved' by Samuel.
Only afterwards did Samuel learn that the reason Oliver Queen was being chased and beaten was because he had slept with someone's girlfriend and given them a green hat.
Any man wouldn't tolerate this kind of thing. If this can be tolerated, what can't be tolerated? Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt cannot!
If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Samuel, even if he was the young master of the Queen family, he would have been given a good beating!
Heaven's ways are a cycle!
Not long after meeting Oliver Queen, the future 'Black Canary' Laurel Lance came to apply for a job, and along with her sister, the future 'White Canary' Sara Lance, Samuel also got to know them both.
However, Sara Lance did not work part-time in his bookstore like her sister. As the younger sister, she was spoiled by her family since childhood, with a more flamboyant, Squeamish (spoiled/Squeamish), and selfish personality!
Her favorite thing was to snatch her sister's things, whether it was affection, the spotlight, or even her sister's favorite dolls, clothes, or even boyfriends, she had to snatch them!
Although Samuel was not Laurel's boyfriend, but her Boss, as the only relatively close and familiar man to Laurel, Sara naturally wouldn't be indifferent. She often ran over when Laurel wasn't there and used some basic green tea tactics to flirt with him, completely lacking the composure and capability of the future Captain of the Legends of Tomorrow team.
Jade is not carved into a vessel, and a tree is not pruned into timber!
Who would have thought that this little green tea who likes to steal her sister's things would become the first generation Black Canary, a former League of Assassins member, the later White Canary, and the Captain of the Legends of Tomorrow team in the future!
Tsk tsk tsk --
From green tea to villain, from villain to hero, she even had a presence in major events like fighting the anti-monitor and saving the Multiverse.
Her transformation is the greatest in the Green Arrow Multiverse!
"Honestly, Laurel clearly has a good feeling for you. She's so beautiful, aren't you even a little moved? I've even asked around, Laurel has never dated a boyfriend, which should fit your Eastern conservative views on choosing a spouse, right?"
Oliver Queen said, then suddenly became thoughtful: "Wait, you don't dislike women, do you? Fuck, I'm warning you, I treat you like a brother, don't have any improper thoughts about me!"
"Oliver Queen, you have failed this city."
"Die!"
Samuel got up and directly pounced on Oliver Queen. Oliver Queen was prepared and wisely got up to run immediately after seeking death, and then -- there was no then.
"Bang!"
Samuel kicked him to the ground, then bent down and reached out, grabbing the back of his neck and lifting him up.
"A small tree won't straighten without pruning. Today I'll let you know what despair is!"
"I surrender, I surrender, I surrender!" Oliver Queen hurriedly surrendered. He knew how good Samuel was at fighting!
In fact, he often provoked Samuel to seek death, just to see his 'kung fu'. If he could teach him a few moves, that would be even better!
"Wait, wait first, I have something to tell you, really, something important."
"Speak!"
Samuel let go of Oliver Queen and snorted: "If you can't say it, hehe, sorry, today I'm going to beat you so hard your mother won't recognize you."
Oliver Queen knew that Samuel wouldn't really teach him a lesson. This was just playing between friends, so he calmly patted the dust off his clothes and deliberately said loudly: "My Dad is going out to sea in a few days, and I'm planning to invite you along."
Go out to sea?
Go to die!
It was during this sailing trip that the shipwreck occurred, Oliver Queen's Father died, and he himself barely survived, eventually being stranded on Purgatory Island.
Oh, right, and Sara Lance.
In the original plot, Oliver Queen and Laurel Lance were a couple, but Sara Lance, this little green tea, specialized in stealing her sister's things, secretly got together with Oliver Queen, and even went sailing with him.
After the shipwreck, everyone thought she had also perished, but she survived. Although she wasn't stranded on Purgatory Island like Oliver Queen, she was rescued by members of the League of Assassins and then began a legendary life!
Now, neither Laurel Lance nor Sara Lance have anything to do with Oliver Queen.
Of course, Oliver Queen doesn't lack women either. With a rich second generation like him, who knows how many women actively throw themselves at him.
"You can come with Laurel!" Oliver Queen said while winking at him!
Good heavens, what's with this expression of creating opportunities for a brother? Are you so enthusiastic about matchmaking?
I didn't expect you, Green Arrow with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to actually like being a matchmaker!
"I'll consider it!"
"Don't consider it, it's decided. You guys prepare in advance, and I'll pick you up then!"
Oliver Queen didn't give Samuel a chance to back out, he just decided it and then turned around and slipped away.
Samuel shook his head speechlessly, turned around and came to the counter, and asked Laurel Lance, who seemed to have heard nothing and was acting naturally: "What do you say, do you want to go?"
Laurel Lance hesitated: "My family might not agree, and - and if I go, Sara will definitely go too!"
Samuel said indifferently: "Then just go together!"
Upon hearing this, Laurel Lance gave Samuel a somewhat resentful look. She knew about Sara Lance's little actions and thoughts, after all, when the two sisters were together, or even in front of Samuel, Sara Lance was also speaking in a 'green tea' manner, with no intention of hiding it.
What she resented was Samuel's attitude.
Even Oliver Queen could tell that she had a good feeling for him, it was impossible for him not to know, but he never expressed his feelings, and his attitude was the same when he was with Sara Lance.
Not taking the initiative, not refusing, not taking responsibility.
A complete Aquaman!
"We'll see then!"
Laurel Lance didn't explicitly refuse or agree. If possible, she still hoped to shake off Sara and go out to sea with Samuel alone.
Yes, although Laurel Lance felt that Samuel might be an Aquaman, she didn't want to give up because of it.
On one hand, Samuel was indeed the first guy who made her heart flutter, and on the other hand, she could give up anything, but she definitely wouldn't be willing to give up on this kind of thing.
Of course, there was another reason, which was the prevailing atmosphere. Samuel didn't have a formal girlfriend, so he naturally had the right to choose!
Note:
Happy Lunar New Year 2026!
First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for always being by my side and supporting me throughout this journey.
