23. Sudden attack
In the deep darkness of the night, Sean quietly climbed through the window and returned to the apartment, he took off the hooded sweatshirt used to hide his appearance, removed the body armor and tactical dagger on his body, and lay on the bed to think, tonight to visit James Wesley, Kim Ji's personal assistant, and one of the most trusted henchmen of the underworld emperor.
He deliberately created an image of a mysterious origin and unreasonable cards, just to make Wesley unclear where he came from, so as to produce a feeling of incomprehension, and the average smart person will think more than ordinary people, which is exactly what Sean wants, he wants to use this mystery to eliminate the deterrence and awe that gold brings.
Sean has no interest in becoming the Underworld Emperor of New York, he just wants to use the wealth of Kim and take the first step towards his ambitious goal of ruling Hell's Kitchen? That's something that will only be considered later, and if you want a smart person to betray his boss, you must first arouse the deep desires of the other person.
Ambition is everyone's innate instinct, but most people whitewash it as a seemingly glorious ideal or a firm belief.
Wesley was a capable and intelligent man, and generally such people are rarely satisfied with what they have, because they feel that they deserve more, that they deserve more status, more wealth, and more power...... Human desires are endless, like bottomless valleys, difficult to fill.
A guy who came out of nowhere, said a crazy thing that he couldn't help himself, and he could make Wesley suddenly turn back and betray his boss, the famous underworld emperor?
No matter how powerful the protagonist's aura is, it is impossible to reach this level. All Sean has to do is plant a seed of ambition in Wesley's heart, if Kim really falls, then who should give the huge family fortune left by the underworld emperor to?
Sean never believed that in this world, there is absolute loyalty between people, and as long as the price is enough, anyone can betray you, provided that you can afford to pay the bargaining chips.
Masturbating himself as a philanthropist and socialite, Kim often sponsored young people from Hell's Kitchen to help them complete their education, and those who received favors often joined King's company as part of New York's largest crime syndicate.
Wesley is like this, but he is the most successful one, a young law student who graduated from a prestigious school, turned into a legal adviser to the gang leader, and finally became a personal assistant to Kim and his side, managing various businesses in Hell's Kitchen for him, I have to say, such a life is quite legendary.
Maybe in Kim Ji's opinion, he has given Wesley enough, but the other party may not think so, who doesn't want to climb up and sit in a higher position?
"The gentleman lawyer who likes to go out at night has to thank me, after all, I will soon have a big problem for him." Sean rested his hands behind his head and stared blankly at the ceiling.
He sometimes feels strange when he looks in the mirror, but since he came into this world, he has gained more power than ordinary people understand, and he is slowly becoming stronger little by little, and he can kill the gangsters who threaten him without changing his face, and in order to achieve his goal, he can appropriately take some unseen means, such as spreading the news about Osborne's industry and the Green Goblin, or using Dr. Connors to perfect the algorithm for the evolution of the decay rate.
Sean can't tell whether this change is good or bad, in short, he has chosen this path, then he must go on without hesitation, and any stumbling block in the way will be ruthlessly crushed by him, or kicked away.
Gradually, the young boy's eyes became firm again, this is not a world where normal people or good people can survive, when those villains destroy the world, when those aliens attack, no one will let you go because your moral standard is higher than ordinary people.
"The world is not beautiful after all, it is dangerous and cruel." Sean muttered to himself, then fell into a deep sleep.
…………
Following.
When night falls.
A huge figure with a sturdy body stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with a shiny and round bald head, dressed in an elegant custom suit, always with a sincere smile on his face, and there was no terrifying momentum on his body.
"Bullseye, you know, my father was an obnoxious drunkard, he got drunk every day, and when he came home, he on me and my mother. Once, I was bullied by the school bully, and when my father found out, he took me to the guy, and he grabbed the bully and told me to beat him hard, saying, 'Only if your fists are hard enough, people will fear you and dare not bully you', so I beat the bully very badly, and when the blood splashed on my face, I realized that violence is as fascinating as wine. ”
"That's the only thing that drunkard father taught me." Jin Ji rubbed the buttons on his cuffs, the smile on his face retracted little by little, and the killing aura of the underworld emperor suddenly emanated, "Money and power can make people bow their heads and surrender and offer dignity, but only fists can make others fear you from the bottom of their hearts!" ”
"So, when I grew up, I joined the gang, determined to be the hardest guy."
"Boss, you rule the entire underground world of New York, and who is not afraid of your majesty and power, even the ignorant Irish, and the Russian mafia, do not all obediently hand over their own territory."
A fierce man in a black trench coat and tight leather pants, known as "Bullseye", is one of the few henchmen of Kim and is a thug and bodyguard, with a gun target on his forehead, and his eyes reveal a murderous and evil connotation.
Many gang leaders who disobeyed King's rule died at the hands of this guy, Bullseye was once a notorious professional killer, and was later hired by King to become his chief assassin, he has a natural throwing ability, can make any object in his hand throw at the target with incredible precision, playing cards, toothpicks, darts...... These can be turned into terrible murderous weapons in his hands.
"Why didn't you finish Daredevil last time?" Kim asked Bullseye, knowing that his men rarely missed.
"There was a guy with a skull on his clothes who rescued him." Bullseye said fiercely.
"Punisher...... Hell's Kitchen is getting more and more fun. ”
Daredevil is a street hero who has recently emerged, wearing a bizarre costume similar to a red demon, fighting criminals everywhere, and screwing up several businesses in a row last month, he doesn't care about those monetary losses, but this underworld emperor can't tolerate someone daring to provoke him.
As for the Punisher, he was a more vicious creature than Daredevil, and all the criminals he caught would not survive. The other party is good at using all kinds of firearms, it should be a mercenary or a retired special soldier with strict training, and the New York Police Department has regarded him as the number one dangerous element and is fully wanted.
"Bullseye, find a way to find out Daredevil's identity, I'm going to play with him slowly." A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Jin He's mouth, he hadn't met such an interesting character in a long time.
Kim has seen a lot of self-righteous people who think they are the main characters in comic books and can save the world, and they all end up on their knees at their feet, crying and begging for mercy, completely abandoning the beliefs they once held.
Money can make people bend over, power can make people bow their heads, and violence can make those who have money and power fearful.
Kim looked triumphantly at Hell's Kitchen, a chaotic place that was once a slum and now surrendered to his feet, the casinos, nightclubs, hotels...... All are his inheritance; Those gangsters, gangsters, drug dealers...... All on their knees, he was the secret ruler behind the city, on an equal footing with the big men.
Just as the underworld emperor was indulging in his own business, a tiny firelight flickered outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and then continued to magnify, rushing towards the luxurious apartment where he was.
"Boss, be careful!"
The bullseye immediately noticed that something was wrong and quickly issued a warning.
With wide eyes and tense muscles, he had a huge body of 450 pounds, but he was not slow at all, and he swooped to the side flexibly, and then the bulletproof floor-to-ceiling windows shattered, glass shards flew all over the sky, and the waves of explosion swept in all directions, bringing valuable carpets, oil paintings hanging on the walls, and a dazzling array of high-end wine cabinets...... Everything in the room was torn apart, and the scorching fire licked at the leather couch and wooden floor.
A powerful rocket kicked off the attack.
