Chapter Ninety-Five: Talents
What is most important in the 21st century?
Talent!
William Billy Russell is a talent.
He started the Anvil Security Company from scratch and in just a few years, the Anvil Company became one of the most successful security companies in the United States.
Anvil provides training courses for CIA agents and is even responsible for securing some of Manhattan's top apartment buildings — the level of security at the United Nations building.
Regardless of whether the methods used by Russell are legal or not, if he can do such a thing, he must be regarded as a talent.
Such a person was employed by a federal senator and assigned capable men to protect his safety. A tiger-like operation puts a hotel under its own surveillance and defense.
However, it was such layers of defense that was broken through by Louis Wilson single-handedly. If it weren't for someone coming out in the middle of the way, the intruder would have been able to kill the councillor.
Such a person is obviously also a talent, and it is exactly the kind that Belle desperately needs.
The gang members inherited from Mar Gucci are all real tough guys, even if it is a real hard battle, it is completely worthwhile. If it weren't for these two hits, I wouldn't have been able to fight with Jin for so many years.
However, although their heads are iron, their skills are really poor. Except for a few capable ones, most of them are street-level in terms of marksmanship and fighting skills.
In other words, once they get into a conflict at a higher level than the gangsters, they don't even know how they died.
In this regard, Shaz, who was also born on the street, Hernan Alvarez is also powerless. If he really wants to make a move, he and those gang members are at most half a pound and eight taels, which is a lot worse than some guys who are comparable to heavyweight indiscriminate fighters.
His role is more like that of a military advisor and an excellent manager.
To take the gang to the next level, Belle had to find them a good instructor.
She took a fancy to Louis Wilson, a young veteran who returned from the battlefield with extremely high military literacy, but was devastated by post-traumatic sequelae and his values had completely collapsed.
However, this kind of purpose must not be convenient for the outstanding young Peter Parker to know.
"Why did you suddenly pay attention to veterans?" Peter asked, "Isn't your foundation primarily for people with disabilities?" ”
"To be precise, to help people in need of professional help." Belle corrected him earnestly, "The Captain's Foundation doesn't do anything like helping people with disabilities find jobs, but by funding the development of artificial prosthetics, or helping people who can't afford to pay for prostheses, so that they can maximize their return to the able-bodied lifestyle." ”
Peter nodded and said, "Isn't that good?" Moreover, this is already a very large amount of work, and it is not easy to do this thing well. ”
That's why I wondered if there was a way to improve the efficiency of the foundation, and the most important thing was the efficiency of the selection and review of the recipients. Let me tell you this, you can't imagine how shameless people can be in order to cheat some money. ”
"Do you know that there are many firms that specialize in applying for funding from various charities? They searched all over the world for all kinds of people and organized them to apply. Once the charities find out that they are agents, they will definitely refuse to apply, and they will take advantage of the situation to launch a wave of lawsuits against the charities for alleged false advertising and illegal operations. In order to settle the matter, many institutions will choose to settle out of court and pay a compensation. ”
"If you are unwilling to reconcile, it will be a long lawsuit, and even if you win in the end, you will have to pay a lot of resources, and you will be choked by disgusting."
Peter knew that the human heart was sinister, but he did not usually have access to them. In his heart, bad people are nothing more than stealing and kidnapping, and murder and arson are already extremely vicious. But I don't know that there are still many people who, for their own interests, directly destroy the entire social environment and order.
They don't pay attention to low-level tricks such as medical trouble and porcelain touching at all. This group of literate hooligans knows how to use the weapon of rules and laws, and they have completely pitted the whole society.
He knew that Belle was angry because of these things, but there was nothing he could do to comfort her, so he could only say, "Alas, but after all, there are so many people in need of help, you can't give up completely because of this, right?" ”
"It's not enough to give up, but I came up with a solution, which is to be a veteran. Many of the soldiers who were disabled by the war did not get the help they needed, including the police. Helping these people basically doesn't require a background check, which can greatly improve efficiency. ”
"So, what's going on with this, Louis Wilson?" Peter was looking at Wilson's profile, which made it clear that the man was not injured.
"Mental trauma," Belle said, "is a lot harder to deal with than physical trauma, but luckily, I happen to be very good at it." Therefore, I, the honorary chairman of the foundation, will personally take the first step in the transformation. ”
The car pulled into a decent middle-class neighborhood in Brooklyn and stopped at an intersection two blocks away from its target.
Belle told the driver not to go near Wilson's house under any circumstances unless instructed to do so by her.
She and Peter got out of the car and walked, walking towards their goal.
Peter asked, "Do you need to be so careful?" Is there any danger? ”
Belle asked rhetorically, "Where did you see that I was careful?" ”
"Why do you let the car park so far? You're so lazy, you've always been able to ride in a car and don't walk. Peter replied, gesturing to Belle's shoes, "You wear flat shoes rarely, you must have planned to walk, right?" ”
"Wearing flat shoes is to take care of your mood so that you can fully enjoy the feeling of being taller than me." Belle replied mercilessly, "Let the car stay away is to take care of Mr. Wilson's mood, isn't it written in the information, our Mr. Veterans is experiencing the pain of the collapse of the three views, and is hostile to the whole society, especially the elites, so just drive such a car to his door, don't you invite him to throw us with a grenade." ”
Peter exclaimed: "He still has grenades!" ”
"Be quiet!" "I just think he might have it, or if he wants it, even if it's a homemade grenade, it's not difficult." ”
"So, this guy is dangerous!" Peter said, "No wonder you have to go out yourself." However, your investigation is so meticulous that you know his mental state and professional skills in such detail. ”
Belle suddenly chuckled, but fortunately, she was surrounded by "water" at all times, and even spider senses could not detect anything unusual about her, otherwise this sudden heartbeat would definitely arouse Peter's suspicions.
However, she looked at Peter's face carefully, and then listened to his tone, as if she really accepted the premise of "the investigation team is dutiful", and did not suspect that Belle was actually a prophet.
As a traverser, she didn't need any investigative team at all, and she already knew Louis Wilson well in her previous life.
But this lie still has to be rounded.
It didn't take long for them to reach the outside of Wilson's backyard, and over the low bush hedge, it was easy to see the furnishings in the backyard: a trench with bunkers.
"Look, you don't have to go too hard to investigate, do you?" "According to his father, he lived in the trenches all the time and barely went into the house. Do you guess if there are comics and game consoles hidden in the trenches, or guns and grenades? ”
"Good thing I'm wearing a Spider-Man suit." Peter said, gesturing to his chest, "But it's better not to fight here, it's all residential nearby, and it would be terrible if he detonated a bomb or something." ”
"Who's to say it's not, so you'd better not do it, even if there's any danger, I'll just take care of it."
"And what do you have to bring me here for? And tell me it's a date? ”
"You'll find out in a moment."
Belle didn't say anything, but took Peter around to the front door and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by Louis's father, Clay Wilson, a middle-aged man as simple as Clay.
"Hello, we are students at Columbia University and are conducting a social survey and would like to conduct an in-depth interview with taxi drivers in New York."
Belle's lies also came out of her mouth, and the pre-made rhetoric, coupled with Peter's tacit cooperation - a nerdy face and a hoodie with the school logo on it, easily won the trust of Wilson Sr.
"Ah, so," Wilson had no doubt, "was it the taxi company that provided our address?" ”
"How so?" Belle said, "I had just been in Mr. Louis Wilson's car, and I was talking about social surveys, and Mr. Wilson was very generous in cooperating with our research, and left me the address, saying that we were welcome to come at any time." ”
After she finished speaking, she also handed over her student ID, a genuine student ID.
Peter also took out his own papers with special cooperation.
For two enthusiastic and sincere college students, most people will not explicitly refuse.
Old Wilson hesitated for a moment, but still said: "No need to do this, you are students, how can you learn the police style, and show your ID before entering the door." If I don't let you in, will you still be able to pull out a search warrant? ”
He let Belle and Peter into the room, motioned for them to sit on the couch, and brought two glasses of water.
Belle's rhetoric actually hit his heart.
Since Louis returned from the battlefield, he has not been able to integrate into his daily life. I found a job as a taxi driver, but I barely maintained, often quarreled with passengers in the car, and received a lot of complaints in the past few months, and if I continue like this, I will be fired by the company sooner or later.
In order to get his son back on his feet, he encouraged Louis to join the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, hoping that he would become a little more cheerful.
Now, the arrival of these two students seems to prove that Louis is gradually returning to normal, which is excellent news for Wilson Sr.
"Sit down first, and I'll call Louis." He's ...... He's working in the backyard. ”
He turned to go out, but heard the doorbell ring.
"I'm sorry, I'll go check it out."
He turned back to the front door, and before long he brought back a bloated, fat middle-aged man who was bigger than Belle, Peter, and Wilson Sr. combined.
"Clay, I'll take a look at Luis."
The greasy middle-aged man swaggered in as he spoke, and threw half a dozen beers in his hand on the coffee table with a "bang".
He sat down as if he had gone back to his own house, not at all polite, on the side of the couch near Belle.
"Yo, there are guests?"
On the other side, the back door was pushed open by the first "bang".
Louis Wilson rushed into the house with a grim face.
"O'Connor, how dare you! You actually have the face to come to my house! ”
He roared, rushed over in a few steps, and punched at the greasy middle-aged face!
