28. Hellfire Club
The news of Kim's death caused a huge wave in Hell's Kitchen at the beginning, and the underworld emperor who controlled countless gangs and ruled the underground world of New York died inexplicably.
Whether it's the Japanese Hand Club, the Russian mafia, or the Mexican drug traffickers, there was a moment of disbelief, but the chaos they had hoped for didn't happen, and James Wesley, who was King's personal assistant, stepped forward first, and gained the support of many people — and of course there were those who objected, but those people who did voice their opinions disappeared and no one was found.
In this way, the seemingly polite personal assistant became the recipient of Kim's huge inheritance, and then there was a series of asset restructurings, as well as the distribution of various businesses, and Wesley, who was originally in charge of these things for Kim, handled it quite well, and at great speed, cut off the illegal business from the ostensibly legitimate company.
In other words, it was Mr. Wesley who whitewashed himself in the shortest possible time and became an upstart tycoon with a lot of assets.
As for the other gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow Hell's Kitchen, after several negotiations with Wesley, the lucrative drug and smuggling business was divided among the Hand and other gangs, everything returned to its usual calm, and there were no expected bloody fights and gang fights, and Hell's Kitchen continued to move forward according to the original trajectory of life.
"Hellfire Club...... What an apt name. ”
Shawn in a hood stands at the door of a night club, a lifelike flame burning on a colorful signboard.
"Hey, little ghost......"
The burly security guard guarding the door just wanted to stop the young boy who seemed to be a student, but was frightened by the other party's cold gaze.
"Be respectful, I'm your boss's boss......" Sean said seriously, and then stepped past the security guards and entered the hot night scene.
Huge and boiling waves of sound came to the face, the four walls were faintly vibrating, under the dazzling and shining lights, many lonely and empty men and women swayed their bodies, releasing their inner emotions to the fullest, and the DJs dressed in trendy clothes on the stage continued to detonate people's enthusiasm.
Alcohol and hormones are in the air, a breeding ground for sin and lust, and Sean observes the vast underclass of Hell's Kitchen, in addition to the city men and women who come to have fun, as well as the many private traffickers who peddle marijuana drugs, and the hot prostitutes who dress up in fancy clothes.
"This is the real world...... "With a little emotion, Sean came to the luxurious private room on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter, where the sound insulation effect is good, and the noisy sound outside cannot be transmitted at all.
"It's not easy to see you, Mr. Wesley." Sean lowered his hood, revealing a young face.
"Boss, you're really joking, if it weren't for your insistence on hiding your identity, then it should be you sitting here now." The man with an elegant temperament graciously sent red wine and cigars, "These are the best, boss, do you want to try them?" ”
Sean waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, "You're doing a good job, we don't need to rely on those illegal businesses to make huge profits, those other gangs entrenched in Hell's Kitchen think they're taking a big advantage, anyway, sooner or later Daredevil, the Punisher, and the others will find them, 80% of Hell's Kitchen's real estate is in our name, and the business district of Manhattan, which is enough for you to keep the company running." ”
Wesley nodded, he glanced at the young face of his new boss, and had some complicated emotions in his heart, who would have thought that such a harmless looking sunshine boy would actually kill Kim and Bullseye, and prop him up into Hell's Kitchen upstart in one fell swoop.
"Won't there be a problem on Mr. Leland's side?" Wesley asked, and Leland was also one of Kim's henchmen, a financial expert who managed the books and business dealings.
"Smart people know how to do it, and I've always been good at solving problems."
Sean smiled faintly, Wesley couldn't help lowering his body slightly, he is also a smart person, so he naturally knows what the new boss's means of solving problems are like.
"I don't need you to be the boss of Hell's Kitchen at the moment, now let those gangs fight and rob, we don't need to care...... When we don't need to keep a low profile anymore, we can clean up all those gangsters like wild dogs in one go, and at that time, you will become the second Jinjun. ”
"The new ruler of Hell's Kitchen, the new emperor of the New York underworld!"
The young boy said it lightly, but the bright prospects he depicted were enough to make Wesley's heart surging and his blood boiling, and how many people would not be able to sit in that position for the rest of their lives.
Wesley suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly, "All of this is the boss's. ”
Sean is noncommittal, smart people will always have ambitions, and he is not afraid that Wesley will betray him, because the other party can see very clearly that even if a powerful hero like Jin Ji does not die in his own hands, as long as Wesley puts himself in the shoes and compares him with Jin Ji, he will not try to make some stupid decisions.
"I should be busy lately, if there are any problems that can't be solved, you can contact me."
Sean sat in the luxurious private room, admired the scene of the demons dancing downstairs for a while, and was ready to leave, there was still a little Lori waiting at home.
Jin Ji's capital and industry are the cornerstone of Sean's first step, he is not interested in being the underworld emperor of New York, and the underground forces cannot be on the table after all, compared to a military industrial giant like Stark Industries, and a powerful agency like S.H.I.E.L.D., it is too far behind.
Anyway, after solving the problem of Connors's experimental funding, it should be Osborne's turn next, and I believe that after such a long time, the Green Goblin and Spider-Man should have a final showdown.
After all, it was said on the news that Norman Osborne had not shown up for a long time, and it was apparently the human enhancement pills that had completely stimulated the negative emotions in his heart, and now that body was already dominated by the dark personality of the Green Goblin.
"There should be a good show."
Sean thought as he walked out of the night scene, glancing at the flames on the signboard, he thought of the mutants again, and it was not yet suitable to come into contact with them, especially before he could resist the bald professor's psychic abilities, he still tried to keep his distance.
"Kim, Norman Osborne, who's next?"
Silently counting the good cards in his hand, Sean couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart, he was getting rid of weakness little by little, growing at a rapid speed, even when the era of superheroes came, at that time, he was already at the forefront of the world.
Coming to such a dangerous and wonderful world, how could Sean be willing to just stand at the bottom and look up to those superheroes, he wants to control his own destiny and dominate others by the way!
"Hellfire Club...... Interesting. ”
The young boy's eyes were dark, and his back faded into the darkness.
