Chapter 55: A Temporary Foothold
As soon as Ka El disappeared from the underground garage with Logan and Emma, Lex Luthor sprang into action
Lex Luthor: "Messi, quick, bring the "briefcase" in the car, ...... - eagerly pulled out the handkerchief wrapped in the "business card", not wanting it to stay in his pocket for another second
Macy: "What kind of briefcase do you want?? Ordinary (i.e., a bag for ordinary people, with no special functions), bulletproof (a folding bulletproof shield for bodyguards, which can be used as a hand-held armor shield when unfolded), or a check-proof one (made of a special material that can block most of the rays from see-through, and at the same time prevent the rays inside the bag from spilling)?"
Lex Luther: "Evading inspection...... Cage, call the law firm hired by the club and ask them to immediately send the best criminal lawyer in the firm to be on standby before Patton is taken to the New York Police Department. Immediately after Patton's arrival, he provided legal services to him as his defense counsel. so that Patton will be accompanied by a lawyer throughout the interrogation, to ensure his legitimate rights and interests, and not to give the police any opportunity to exploit loopholes (to extract and induce confessions as much as possible before the suspect finds a lawyer, and to obtain a confession......"
Luke Cage: "Yes......" - call the phone, find a lawyer
Messi: "...... Here you go, boss. —Retrieved the briefcase from the car and handed it to Luther
Lex Luther: "Well, (put the handkerchief wrapped in the "business card" and seal it...... Well, now it's safe (peace of mind)...... No, it's not insured, Patton injured an X SWAT, and the New York X SWAT team will definitely try their best to exploit loopholes, conduct surprise interrogations, and even "cross the line", and he must be accompanied by a lawyer 24 hours a day to be insured......"
Luke Cage: "Having a lawyer 24 hours a day......?
Lex Luther: "If one isn't enough, find ten, and if necessary, it doesn't matter if you have a lawyer for Barton, money is definitely not an issue." As long as they can keep Barton shut up, don't do anything, and remain silent the whole time without giving in to the pressure of the police, so that we can have a chance to bail him out......" - said here abruptly
Luke Cage: "Sorry, please wait a moment (cover the microphone and break the phone with the law firm)...... And after she's released on bail?"
Lex Luthor: "After that...... It depends on the situation. -- flickering
Luke Cage: "Well, boss, I have an acquaintance ...... Mexico" - he heard Luther's words and tried to intercede with Barton
Lex Luther: "Don't talk about it, it's important to get Barton out first, and then how to arrange him...... We'll talk about that then. ”
Luke Cage: "Got ......" - continues to discuss matters with the law firm
At the same time, in an abandoned office (on the top floor of the building), Ka El suddenly appears with Logan and little Emma
Logan: "Ahem, ahem, ahem...... This is your home, why is there so much dust? You guys don't care more hygienic than I ......."
Ka Al: "You guessed it wrong, this is not my house, it's just a temporary ......" - walked to the window and observed the movement downstairs
Logan: "Where is the temporary foothold?"
Emma Jr.: "This is Wilson Fisk, Kim's office. ”
Logan: "That dead fat man's office??" - immediately made a defensive gesture
Little Emma: "Don't worry, that dead fat man has died a long time ago, and now no one lives here, and it has been abandoned for a long time......" - explanation, explanation
Logan: "It's been abandoned for a long time? No one has rented this kind of fancy office? This is New York!" - I don't understand...,
Ka El: "Don't you know? It's all thanks to the comrades of the Red Brigades......
Logan: "[Red Brigades]? You terrorists have also hit New York real estate?"
Emma Jr.: "Is it an indirect influence (look at Logan or don't understand)...... In 2001, after the "911 terrorist attacks" carried out by the [Red Brigades] on New York, supertall landmarks were no longer as attractive as they were in the original world, and there were fears that high-profile skyscrapers could become the target of terrorist attacks, coupled with the fact that the top floor was difficult to escape and the rent was expensive......"
Logan: "So no one wants to rent anymore?" - Pick up
Emma Jr.: "Yes. ”
Karl Al: "Guys, don't talk about the spoiling topics, you have a good view of the Hell's Kitchen fire......"
Logan: "Isn't it a night scene...... God, the fire spread so fast that the whole building was on fire?" - accident
Ka El: "......" - nodding, silent
Emma: "Yes, fortunately it's night, and there is no one in there, otherwise your sin would be too great......"
Logan: "Huh?" - mistaken for himself
Kar Al: "Why do you say that, Logan didn't have the intention of running to Hell's Kitchen......" - said as he dragged little Emma out
Emma Jr.: "I'm not ......" - Kar El pulls her out of the office before she can finish explaining
Logan: "Where are you two going?"
Ka Al: "There is no water or electricity in this office, so Emma and I went downstairs to the management room and used our respective abilities to solve the "water, electricity and gas problems......"
Logan: "What about me?"
Ka Al: "Mr. Logan can clean up the house if he's too busy, and if he doesn't want to move, rest in place, look at the fire outside the window, and kill ......the time as a disaster movie" - the farther you go, the sound fades away
Logan: "......" - helpless, sat down on the spot, looked out the window at the fire, reflected on the day's encounter, and thought about what he would do in the future
The camera cuts to Ka Al's side
Little Emma: "Let go of me, you're hurting me......"
Ka El: "Let go of you, I just ask the little ancestor to take care of your mouth and stop "gaffes", you are not a child mentally, ...... "- hinted
Little Emma: "Hmph, you won't let me mention your true identity, and you won't let me tell you about the good things you did?" I don't know which sinister villain took me to make an anonymous call in the public phone booth just now and told the authorities the secret ......"
Ka Al: "I didn't want you to tell you, it's just that the time is not yet ripe to reveal information about my abilities to Logan......"
Emma: "The time is not ripe yet? Isn't Logan already one of us? Why can't you tell him about the remote location of the spirit body attached to him and Barton? Besides, don't we just use your ability to find him and rescue him? I wonder if he will figure it out and guess it himself after a while......
Me (voiceover): "It turns out that Barton was found by the authorities in this way, and it seems that strangers really can't ride around, and their lives will be in danger." ”
