Chapter 0719: Hell's Kitchen

Kauai Folk Village, Hawaii.

"Mom, Uncle Huang, it's time for me to go. In front of the warm and comfortable wooden house, Wang Kui said expressionlessly.

He wanted to smile at his mother, but he didn't know what to do, and his already cruel and indifferent personality became more serious under the shaping of Osborne's life as a single shadow in the past few years.

Perhaps, as the boss said, his smile is a horror movie.

"Watch your body, if you do... Check back and see. Qiao Qiao'er wiped the corners of her eyes sadly, be careful, pay attention to safety, she didn't know how many times she had said these words in the past two days.

There is a shortage of soldiers in that part of Africa, why do you have to go!

But she couldn't resist her son, and an illness when he was a child made him sensible, indifferent and estranged.

Qiao Qiao'er has always felt that she owes her son a lot, so she can only try her best to make up for it, but unfortunately time didn't give her too many opportunities, her son is older, and she can't help it.

"Well, bring the woman back next time. Wang Kui hesitated and nodded.

He knew his mother's worries, so he decided to find a stronger woman to come back next time, and if he didn't agree, he tied it up and gave birth to a strong fat boy to pass on the lineage.

"Okay, it's time to go, you stay safe, don't let your mother worry. Lao Huang comfortingly hugged Qiao Qiao'er and watched Wang Kui leave with her.

The planes that took off from Honolulu took off and landed and finally landed in Oman to meet the monk smoothly.

............

New York, an international metropolis, is the most prosperous and representative city in North America, where you can see the drunken upper class, the middle-class who dress for ordinary serious work, and the shabby and dressed underclass.

Of New York's five boroughs, Manhattan is the obvious protagonist, with glamorous men and women on the streets, luxury brands everywhere, celebrities everywhere, world-famous Broadway, and the mixed-rated Wall Street.

But behind the neon-glittering, dazzling Broadway lies the evil that belongs to Manhattan, the Clinton district.

The name comes from DeWitt Clinton Park at the corner of 52nd Street and 11th Main Road, and the park's name is a reference to a local politician in the 19th century.

DeWitt Clinton, former U.S. Senator, Mayor of New York, and sixth Governor of New York.

But it has a more familiar name, 'Hell's Kitchen.' ’

It's not a fiction out of a Hollywood movie, but a real neighborhood and one of New York's most chaotic and well-known ghettos.

A rectangular area bounded by 59th and 34th Streets to the north and south, 8th Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west, is known as Hell's Kitchen. ’

It is the most famous slum on the island of Manhattan, and is mainly populated by the working class, mainly immigrants of Irish origin.

Known for its chaotic and backward living quality, serious ethnic conflicts and high crime rates, even the police rarely come near it.

The muddy pavement, the old red brick buildings are connected by iron ladders, and the whole building is covered in dust and dark gray, with the gray disgrace of the times.

There are only a handful of shops and grocery stores on both sides of the street, and there are no malls, industries, or shopping streets, except for the poor and gangsters, many people who come to Broadway to pursue their dreams of stardom choose to live here.

Although it is chaotic, unsafe and conflict-ridden, the low cost of living and rent are irresistible temptations for ordinary people.

Hell's Kitchen has no cars to the outside world, and no cars ever drive into it, it's like a space that has been deliberately isolated from the world.

But today, five clean, dust-free metal monsters rushed into the streets, and the dust they kicked up immediately turned them to dust.

Looking out from the car, people squatting in the streets chatting and gambling were looking at them with dangerous eyes.

Even though they knew that they couldn't see the situation in the car, that kind of look was still very uncomfortable, Li Zitao looked back and looked forward: "Is this it?"

Sitting opposite was Ferrand Tronnie, and Jonathan next to him, every time he saw the two sitting together, Li Zitao couldn't help but think of that question.

The future big-mouthed Bartronie won't be Jonathan's species, right?

If you calculate it this way, Ivan the big cow is not Jonathan's granddaughter, no wonder she doesn't look like her father Tronie at all.

"Yes, Mr. Charlie, it's called Hell's Kitchen, but it's also geographically advantageous, with Central Park and Times Center to the north, Times Square and the Broadway theater district to the east, and Rockefeller Center just 2 blocks away. ”

Pointing to the outdated buildings in the surrounding area, Ferrand said: "This land is very cheap, and if we can get the support of the government on the condition of improving the appearance of the city and the local security, we only need someone to invest in the development, and it will bring us a good return." ”

As a land snake in Manhattan and a former land king of New York, Jonathan has never been here, but he still knows a little about it.

Strictly speaking, this is part of Manhattan's West Midtown district, on the west side of Manhattan Island, next to the Hudson River, and is a great place to park your yacht and go out of the harbor.

It shouldn't be that way, but as Manhattan grew, there was an influx of laborers and poor people who needed a place to live.

In those areas where land prices are soaring, they can only find places they can afford to live in, and the poor people gather more and more, and large-scale slums are formed.

Hell's Kitchen is one of them, and by the time someone remembers this place, it's what it is.

Gangsters are entrenched, fish and dragons are mixed, and every day is either a rush or a dead person, and the New York police regard it as a legal blind spot.

As long as they don't cause trouble outside, no one will investigate no matter how many people die inside.

"Why did you call me, are you still short of money?" Li Zitao didn't answer Tronny's words, and turned his head to look at Jonathan.

Smiling slightly, Jonathan is certainly not short of money, but it is not easy for anyone to deal with the gangster forces entrenched here and with intricate relationships.

Jonathan needs to intervene by force, at least to ensure the safety of his own people and workers, otherwise even if he buys the land, the construction site will either catch fire or die, and who will dare to work for him.

"I need help from S.H.I.E.L.D. Jonathan clarified his purpose.

As a member of the Astor family, although Jonathan has achieved good results, he has also been recognized by all walks of life inside and outside the family, making the name Astor glorious again.

But he still has a small regret in his heart, that is, he wants to regain the title of 'New York Land King' that was lost by his waste brother.

That is the glory that belongs to the Astor family, how can it fall into the hands of others, as long as he regains these honors, he can surpass his father and be remembered by the Astor family forever.
