Chapter 377: Anthony's Opportunities and Troubles
The events of Alcatraz are officially over, but the problems left behind by this incident are not over.
For example, who did the little bald mutant Jimmy who was used to make the mutant antidote fall into? What will happen to the world if he reappears?
For example, what happened to Professor X's student named Jean Gray, who was able to fight with some of the most powerful superheroes known on the planet? Will the Mutant Brotherhood do anything with her?
For example, who are those mutants who finally took action to cure superheroes such as Superman? Where did the new man named Anthony Stein come from, who had never left a mark on the world?
……
All these mysteries are waiting for them to solve, waiting for them to explore. Of course, there are also Anthony who are ready to ask in person, such as the Hydra people.
"Anthony Stein, long time no see," Crossbone said lightly in the communicator.
And Crossbones' words also made Anthony's face change color suddenly, as if he was reacquainting the other party, he looked at him as if he was re-acquainting, and then pretended to hesitate and exaggerated: "Are you really Mr. Bullock?" It can't be some alien variant, right? You know, Mr. Bullock used to keep a straight face when he contacted me, but now he actually laughs, are you sure it's you who is contacting me? ”
"......" Even if Crossbones knew that Anthony was teasing him, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while. But my attitude just now ...... Well, it's a lot more soothing than it used to be.
But there is no way to do this, not to mention anything else, just because his own boss Alexander Pierce plans to meet the other party in person, no matter what it is, it means that this side is no longer an ordinary person, so it is no wonder that Crossbones will change his attitude and no longer face Anthony with a straight face.
But the crossbones are the crossbones, and in the face of Anthony's embarrassing question, he was silent for a moment and directly ignored Anthony's ridicule just now, and said a message that really made Anthony change color: "The leader wants to see you." ”
Chieftain? Anthony's eyes flashed, and he gradually retracted his exaggerated expression, squinted for a moment: "So suddenly? ”
"How?" Crossbones pointed to something, "Don't you want to see it?" ”
"Why," Anthony squinted and chuckled, "it was happiness that came too suddenly, and I was a little suspicious that Mr. Bullock was playing an April Fool's joke on me in advance." ”
"No one dares to joke with the chief," Crossbones said solemnly, "I hope you can keep that in mind, Mr. Anthony." ”
"Of course," Anthony said with a smile, "Long live the hydra." ”
"Long live the hydra!" In the face of this slogan, the crossbones became much more formal, and even directly performed a military salute to pay taxes.
"Do I need to do anything to prepare?" Anthony continued.
"The meeting time is the day after tomorrow," Crossbones said in a deep voice, "All you have to do is to push off all the itinerary for the day." ”
"Understood," Anthony raised an eyebrow, "then I'll wait for the call of the Order, the Leader, Hydra...... Banzai! ”
After hanging up the phone, Anthony casually put the Hydra's communicator aside. As soon as he ordered a cigar, he began to deal with other related events that required Anthony's clapper to handle. If Anthony might have paid some attention to the people of Hydra before, now Anthony can classify all the things that concern them as regular events.
This can be seen from the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s snake head Pierce wants to meet with himself, a newcomer to Hydra, and now Anthony is a seller's market, and the positions between the two sides are very different, if not reversed.
Putting a signed document aside, Anthony focused his attention on another. The big deal on this document is that one of the docks of Anthony's gang business was attacked. The value of the loss may not be as good as Susan's set of full-color lipsticks. But the problems it represents are serious, and they are also related to Anthony's future development.
"Dick, I'm Anthony coming to my office," although the document was already written in detail, Anthony still wanted to know more about it, especially the details, so he called Dick who was in charge of intelligence directly to his office.
"Boss," Dick greeted as he arrived.
"Hmm," Anthony nodded, then flicked a few cigarette ashes and said lightly, "What's going on at the docks over there in Brooklyn?" ”
It seemed that he had expected what his boss would ask, so Dick did not make any preparations and told Anthony in detail what had happened yesterday at the Brooklyn docks.
"Find out who did it?" Anthony said in a deep voice.
"It's been found out," Dick replied, "it's a street hero who used to fight against Kim and Mrs. Gao, called Daredevil Man." ”
Daredevil is it? Sure enough, it was him. When Anthony looked at the report handed by his subordinates, he had a hunch that it was probably the blind man who did the most unkind to the blind man on his dock this time, and now it seems that his premonition is really accurate.
But it's precisely because of this that it's troublesome, of course, it's not that the person Super Daredevil is troublesome. After all, though, this person does have something odd. But if you follow a strict division, he should still be subordinate to the street hero, far less feared than those superheroes with extraordinary powers. If Anthony really wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't even have to send his subordinate combat cadres. Just send a few elite gangs to kill him.
The main reason why Anthony feels troubled is that the recent trouble-making things like this kind of superheroes and street heroes are so dense, and they are surprisingly dense.
However, a considerable part of this is actually Anthony's own fault, after all, the whole of New York is now Anthony's territory. The Nu Gang is the dominant family, and the forces in New York are even more one-handed than the forces in the original plot of the Marvel World.
In the original plot, although Jin Bing's power is large, in New York, there are still Mrs. Gao, Jigsaw, Hammerhead, Mr. Negative, etc., each occupying a territory. And Anthony's New York, these local snakes were all swept away by Anthony. Therefore, except for Anthony's gang, there are no gangs of more than 30 people, which shows that Anthony's gang controls New York.
The advantage of this total control is that what Anthony says represents the will of the entire New York underground. Even Anthony can proudly say that not only after twelve o'clock at night, but even during the day, New York, a metropolitan city with a population of more than 8 million, is also Anthony's final say!
But at the same time, there is also the trouble with it, that is, all the superheroes and street heroes of New York City have involuntarily gone to the opposite side of Anthony. In other words, Anthony and the Rage Gang have become the final bosses of all the strategies of these heroes, and they are all responsible for pushing Anthony as the final boss.
Therefore, Daredevil attacking Anthony's gray business is just the beginning, and Anthony's business will face more attacks in the future.
What Anthony needs to consider now is how to deal with these heroes who are active in New York, and whether to bleach, or even give up the gray and black business, in the gang business.
