Volume 2 Exotic Glory Section 16 Karen Peggy's Ambitions

There is no doubt about the outcome of this lawsuit, and Matt Murdoch used his superior language skills to obtain a huge amount of compensation for the plaintiff's mother and son.

"Eleven million! I can't imagine, thank you, Mr. Murdoch. ”

After the adjournment, the mother could no longer control her crying and hugged the lawyer, whom she regarded as a lifesaver, and the lawyer smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

The courtroom door opened, and Murdoch pushed the boy in his wheelchair outside, while his mother had gone out to deal with the swarming of reporters outside.

"Oh God..."

The boy's face was covered with a dead gray color, and he had no joy in becoming a multimillionaire. For him, without healthy legs, life is actually over.

The lawyer standing on the side heard the young man's sadness, half-squatted down, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Murdoch pouted in the direction of the crowd, turned his back (shēn) to face the boy, and said, "Can I talk to you?" ”

The young man nodded in the face of the lawyer who had helped him live, reluctantly reluctantly reluctant.

"That money will be of great help to your parents, but for you," Murdoch pointed to the juvenile's mouth (xiōng), "and it will only get harder and harder, Alan." ”

The boy looked at him with a blank face (qíng).

"You're only on the first mile of the marathon, you know? Everybody will tell you how to feel, the doctor will tell you to stay positive, your family will tell you not to feel sorry for yourself, your therapist will tell you to control your anger—"

"I'm already angry!"

Murdoch leaned his body (shēn) on a guide stick and asked, "Who's angry?" ”

“... All of them. The teenager shook his head, "I just want to go back to my normal life!" ”

"That's something that no one else can give." Murdoch smiled, "I very much hope that one day, you will be able to stand up on your own." It's also possible that you won't be able to stand up again, but as life gets harder and harder in the future, if you can still hold on, it's a thousand times stronger than forcing a smile and pretending that everything is okay. Do you understand? ”

The young man nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey, lad." Murdoch put his hand on his shoulder and said sincerely, "No one can give you your life back, Alan, you have to go and take it back yourself." ”

The boy's eyes finally lit up with some hope, he wiped the tears from his eyes, and said softly, "OK."

"Okay, let's go, meet the reporters." Murdoch encouraged.

The boy took a few deep breaths, pushed the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands, and slid forward.

Murdoch stood silently behind, watching the teenager merge into the crowd and was soon surrounded by reporters.

Now the focus of the news is the mother and son, he is also happy to be idle, just to take a break, although the lawsuit just now is not too difficult, but it still consumes a lot of his energy.

At that moment, he heard someone behind him call him: "Mr. Murdoch." ”

He turned around: there were three men walking towards him, with steady steps and long breaths, none of them seemed to be ordinary people, and it should be the one in the middle who spoke.

Murdoch asked, confused, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Danny Rand."

"Danny Rand, the one from the RAND Group?" Murdoch knew and put away the smile on his face, "My next case is you." ”

Danny noticed the obvious sense of alienation in the lawyer's tone, but still smiled, "I came to see you today." He is worthy of being the best private lawyer in Hell's Kitchen, and he lives up to his name. ”

"I'm just a normal person... Maybe it's not so 'ordinary', what are you looking for me? Murdoch automatically ignored Danny Rand's compliment.

"Uh... It's fine, just out of curiosity. ”

"I don't generally deal with people on the defense side, it's a lawyer's profession (cāo)." Murdoch was ready to stay away from the men, but before walking away, he said to Danny, "For the sake of your request to sell a new drug for the treatment of black disease at cost price, I believe you are not a bastard, and I would like to remind you that your men have caused you a lot of trouble this time." ”

Danny asked rhetorically, "The factory we built meets all the standards of national testing, are you so sure we must have done it?" ”

"If you meet the test criteria, you must be healthy? Maybe the state is wrong? ”

"Then your battlefield isn't here, work. Corporate actions certainly do not pay for state policies. ”

Murdoch approached Danny until his reflection was reflected in the lens of the magic mirror. "Listen, there's no need to waste your time here, no matter what you say, I won't give up, we'll see you in court."

"Very good, always with you."

"The law will judge you for your sins."

"Huh!" Danny gave a dangerous smile, "Maybe you'd like to try something else?" ”

The two men faced each other without giving an inch, like two roosters ready to fight at any moment. Liu Zheng didn't understand why the two of them were fine just now, why did they suddenly do it, could it be that this is the legendary phase (xìng) incompatibility?

Just as Liu Zheng was about to go up to persuade him to fight, Murdoch quietly took a few steps back and pulled out his legs to leave.

But he was visibly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the corridor not far away, where a girl was approaching. She is very beautiful, with a little heroism between her eyebrows, her blonde hair casually draped over her shoulders, her body is thinner than that of ordinary young women in Europe and America, but she is more slender and slender, and her legs are straight and slender.

The girl acted competently and quickly approached, but instead of saying hello quickly, she looked at Murdoch with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Murdoch." ”

"Oh, uh... Thanks, Miss Peggy. Murdoch lost his mind for about a second before replying.

Skipping this awkward beginning, the conversation between the two quickly became smooth, probably the previous relationship between the two should have been very close.

The girl grinned: "It's okay, you should be proud of yourself." If you don't take a little pride, I'm not going to tell anyone else. ”

After saying that, both of them laughed softly.

"You're here for an interview?"

"Yes." Peggy laughed as she pointed to Liu Zheng behind Murdoch and asked, "Is this your friend?" ”

"Uh... At last... bar. This question really stopped Murdoch, and he didn't know how to answer. He had made up his mind never to show all that mess in front of this girl again.

Danny Rand seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to the girl: "Is it Miss Karen Pegg, a special correspondent for the New York Gazette, it's an honor to meet you, I'm Danny Rand of the RAND Group." ”

"Wow, you're Danny Rand! The son of the president of Rand who will not die?! Karen Peggy was so surprised that her eyes immediately lit up. She had never expected to see this man who was rumored to be more and more fantastical here. Since he returned to New York and proved that he is indeed the Danny Rand who has been missing for more than ten years, he has been interviewed by many authoritative media outlets, and even appeared on the cover of People magazine! However, the Gazette has not yet had access to him, and this is a good opportunity to discover first-hand news sources.

When she didn't know how to open her mouth to invite Danny Rand to do a short interview, the reporters who had been surrounding the victim who had won the case suddenly made an uproar, and the teenager's mother walked over quickly, grabbed Murdoch and said, "Mr. Murdoch, the reporters want you to say a few words, come on." ”

The reporter's interview session really couldn't be absent, and Murdoch had to say "miss the company" to Karen Peggy, and was pulled away by his excited mother.

Karen Page looked at Murdoch's back, pondered for a moment, and invited Danny: "Mr. Rand, would you like to go have something to eat together, and talk by the way?" ”

"Yes, gladly." Danny Rand had this intention, so he readily agreed, he turned back to Liu Zheng and said: "Senior brother, Ah Jian, let's go together, I know a Chinese restaurant near here, absolutely authentic!" ”

Although there are many Chinese restaurants in New York, they are actually "improved" to adapt to the taste of foreigners, and the dishes are either added with tomato sauce or curry, and it is no wonder that Jessica mistakenly thinks that curry is Chinese. Liu Zheng has been in New York for half a month, and only in the supper in Chinatown can he eat some authentic hometown taste, and when he eats those sweet and greasy European and American foods, he has long been tired of it.

However, he knew that Danny wanted to talk to the female reporter (qíng) and didn't want to go, but he couldn't withstand Danny's invitation, so he reluctantly agreed.

The restaurant they went to was called "Royal Dragon Restaurant", which was very close to the Zhongcheng District Court, and was decorated with magnificent bells and whistles, which was quite festive, which was very in line with the foreigner's impression of Chinese people. The boss and the guys in the running hall are all from China, which makes Liu Zheng and them very cordial, and the fried dishes are as Danny said, very authentic, and they even got soy sauce and old vinegar that are difficult to buy abroad.

Eating in the lobby of this kind of restaurant should have been noisy and loud, but because there was a foreign beauty, Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian had to continue to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and not dare to be too presumptuous, and they had to speak awkwardly and softly, which was very unpleasant. And Danny is used to the atmosphere of eating abroad, so there is no discord with Karen Peggy while eating.

At the end of the meal, the cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks were removed and replaced with a full (tào) tea set, Danny and Peggy seemed to have endless conversations, Liu Zheng was too lazy to listen to what they said, just looked at the railing, looking at the scenery outside the window, and Luo Zhijian, who was sitting opposite, had already fallen asleep after eating and drinking.

Liu Zheng was looking at the pedestrians on the street in a daze, when suddenly a familiar (shēn) shadow entered his field of vision.

It was the lawyer, Matt Murdoch. It seemed that he had officially finished his work for the day, carrying his shoulder bag and using his guide stick to explore the road and walk down the sidewalk across the street.

Liu Zheng was very interested, he wanted to know who this person was, so he stretched out his hand to shake Luo Zhijian awake, said hello to Danny and Karen Page, and the two of them quickly walked out of the restaurant, followed Murdoch's (shēn) from a distance, and merged into the flow of people on the street.

"Danny, these two friends of yours are the brothers who practiced martial arts with you in Kunlun?" Karen Peggy had long been full of curiosity about these two Chinese people, and finally waited for them to leave, and immediately asked.

"Oh, no. They are friends I met in Huaxia, not Kunlun. In fact, the terrain is very steep, and it is difficult for people from the outside to get in, and people from the inside rarely go out. ”

Danny wasn't prepared to tell the truth, he wasn't stupid, what he said to reporters, he would definitely see the newspaper the next day, Liu Zheng's (shēn) share was absolutely confidential, of course he couldn't say it casually.

Karen Peggy looked at the door of the restaurant thoughtfully, don't look at her as a girl in her twenties, but her thinking is much quicker than the average person, otherwise she would not have turned evil many times over the years. In her opinion, these two friends of Danny Rand are definitely not ordinary, whether it is their style of behavior or demeanor, they are different from ordinary people like them, not to mention that Danny specially brought New York from Huaxia.

Who is Danny Rand? The (shēn) part of the legal heir of the Rand Group has long been made public, but the other (shēn) part that he has been talking about, the so-called Kunlun Iron Fist, not too many people believe in it, after all, whether it is the supernatural fairyland on the Great Snow Mountain, or the immortal dragon, even for the people who have seen aliens and monsters, it is still too incredible.

But Karen Peggy doesn't see it that way, she can be said to be the closest person to a superhero, and even one of the few people who knows the real (shēn) part of "Daredevil", because she has seen too much, so she always has a heart of awe for all supernatural things.

Ever since she wrote the front-page article in the Gazette, titled "What is a Hero," which sparked a citywide (rè) debate, the idea of opening a column in the newspaper for New York street vigilantes and superheroes has been lingering in her head.

She wants more people to know and understand those superpowers who help people behind the scenes but refuse to show their faces, these people may be just small people in reality, but they continue to fight criminals in the gap under the jurisdiction of the police, deter Xiaoxiao, and silently guard this society. They should not hide in the dark, be misunderstood or even slandered, they should be respected by more people, and they should live openly under the sun.

Daredevil is one of them, there is also an invulnerable man in Harlem north of the city, Danny Rand in front of him is also a member of the talented crowd, and the two Huaxia people who have just left, must be too. Why did she feel like there were more and more of them?

Karen was thinking about her own business, and her face was still smiling. She hasn't gotten enough news from Danny Rand's mouth, and this guy doesn't talk so much, it's really annoying! Hum!
