Chapter 719: Hell's Kitchen

Kauai Folk Village, Hawaii.

"Mom, Uncle Huang, I should go." Wang Kui said expressionlessly in front of the warm and comfortable wooden house.

He wanted to smile at his mother, but he didn't know what to do. His originally cruel and indifferent character became more serious under the shape of Osborne's lonely life for several years.

Perhaps as the boss said, his smile is like a horror movie.

"Pay attention to your body, if you can... come back and have a look." Qiao Qiaoer wiped the corners of her eyes sadly, "Be careful, be safe." She said so many times in the past two days.

Africa is in turmoil, why do you have to go!

But she couldn't hold back her son. An illness when he was a child made him sensible, indifferent and alienated.

Qiao Qiaoer always felt that she owed her son a lot, so she could only try her best to make up for it, but unfortunately, time didn't give her too many opportunities, and her son was getting older, so she couldn't help her.

"Well, bring a woman back next time." Wang Kui nodded hesitantly.

He knew his mother's worry, so he decided to find a stronger woman to come back next time. If he disagreed, he would tie it up and give birth to a strong fat boy to carry on the family line.

"Okay, it's time to go, you pay attention to safety, don't let your mother worry." Lao Huang put his arms around Qiao Qiao'er comfortingly, and watched Wang Kui leave with her.

The plane that took off from Honolulu took off, landed in Oman, and met the monk smoothly.

…………

New York, an international metropolis, is the most prosperous and representative city in North America. Here you can see the upper class who are lavish and rich, the middle class who wear ordinary and serious work, and the bottom of society who are troubled by poverty and wear shabby clothes.

Among the five boroughs of New York, Manhattan is naturally the well-deserved protagonist, with glamorous men and women on the streets, luxury brands everywhere, celebrities everywhere, Broadway, which is world-renowned, and Wall Street, which has a mixed reputation.

But behind the neon flashing and dazzling Broadway, there is the evil of Manhattan, the Clinton District.

The name comes from DeWitt Clinton Park at the intersection of 52nd Street and Eleventh Avenue, which was named after a local politician in the 19th century.

DeWitt Clinton, a former U.S. senator, mayor of New York and sixth governor of New York State.

But it also has a more familiar name, 'Hell's Kitchen. '

It is not a fiction in Hollywood movies, but a real community, and it is also the most chaotic and famous slum in New York.

A rectangular area bounded by 59th Street and 34th Street in the north and south, 8th Avenue in the east, and the Hudson River in the west is the famous "Hell's Kitchen". '

This is the most famous slum in Manhattan Island, mainly populated by working-class Irish immigrants.

Known for its messy and backward living quality, serious ethnic conflicts and high crime rate, even the police rarely come here.

The road surface is full of mud puddles, the old red brick buildings are connected by iron ladders, and the whole building is covered in dust into a dark gray, with a sense of gray defeat of the times.

There are only a few shops and daily necessities stores on both sides of the street. There are no shopping malls, industries or shopping streets. Except for the poor and gangsters, many people who come to Broadway to pursue their star dreams will choose to live here.

Although it is chaotic, unsafe, and conflicts are serious, the low cost of living and rent are temptations that ordinary people cannot resist.

There are no cars leading to the outside world in Hell's Kitchen, and no cars will ever drive here. It is like a space that has been deliberately isolated from the outside world.

But just today, five metal monsters that had been wiped clean and free from dust rushed into the streets, and the dust they raised immediately turned them gray.

Looking outside from the car, people squatting in the streets chatting and gambling are looking at me with dangerous eyes.

Even though they knew they couldn't see what was going on inside the car, the look in their eyes was still very uncomfortable. Li Zitao turned his head and looked forward: "Is this the right place?"

Sitting opposite was Ferrand Tranny, and beside him was Jonathan,

Every time he saw the two sitting together, Li Zitao couldn't help thinking about that question.

The future Big Mouth Tronny, won't be Jonathan's seed, right?

Calculated in this way, isn't the big cow Ivan the granddaughter of Jonathan, no wonder she doesn't look like her father Tronny at all.

"That's right, Mr. Charlie, it's true that this place is called Hell's Kitchen, but its geographical advantages can also be seen. To the north is Central Park, Times Center, to the east is Times Square and the Broadway theater district, and it is only 2 miles away from Rockefeller Center. block."

Pointing to the outdated buildings around, Ferrand said: "These lands are very cheap. If the conditions are to improve the city's appearance and local security, I believe that we can get the support of the government. We only need someone to invest in the development, and it will bring us rich returns. .”

As a local snake in Manhattan and a former land king in New York, although Jonathan has never been here, he still knows something about it.

Strictly speaking, this belongs to the West Midtown of Manhattan, located on the west side of Manhattan Island, close to the Hudson River, and is a good place to park yachts out of the port.

That shouldn't be the case at all, but as Manhattan grew, the influx of workers and the poor needed places to live as well as work.

Land prices in developing areas have skyrocketed, and they can only find places they can afford to live in. The poor gather more and more, forming large-scale slums.

Hell's Kitchen is one of them, and it's what it is when someone thinks of the place.

Gangsters are entrenched, fish and dragons are mixed, and every day is either a fight or a death. The New York police regard it as a legal blind spot.

As long as they don't cause trouble outside, no one will investigate no matter how many people die inside.

"Why did you call me here? Are you still short of money?" Li Zitao didn't answer Tranny's words, but turned to look at Jonathan.

With a wry smile, of course Jonathan is not short of money, but it is not an easy task for anyone to get rid of the intricate gang forces that are entrenched here.

Jonathan needs to intervene by force, at least to ensure the safety of his own people and workers, otherwise, even if he buys the land, the construction site will either catch fire or die, who would dare to work for him.

"I need the help of SHIELD." Jonathan clarified his purpose.

As a member of the Astor family, although Jonathan has achieved good results, he has also been recognized by all circles inside and outside the family, making the name of Astor regain its glory.

But he still has a small regret in his heart, that is, the title of 'King of New York' lost by his good-for-nothing brother, and he wants to regain it.

That is the glory that belongs to the Astor family, how can it fall into the hands of others, as long as he regains these honors, he can surpass his father and be remembered by the Astor family forever.
