Chapter 106 He Is His Own
Happy Zone Nightclub, as the top private place in Chicago, the sound insulation of the box can be said to be very good. There were gunshots and screams inside, and there was no external disturbance.
It was not until a few hours later that it returned to normal, but Vito and another bodyguard in tattered clothes escorted Wilfred Malik, who seemed to have nothing happened, and walked out of the box.
After sending Malik away again, the two of Vito, who changed their clothes, guarded the door of the private room again.
A few minutes later, Josie, who looked as usual, also came out of the box, and the group officially left.
Afterwards, the woman named Velma who brought Josie to the box before brought a group of people into the box, and began to clean up the box with a calm expression.
In the box at this time, except for some traces that looked like they were scratched by wild animals and a few large pools of blood, there was nothing else.
A few cloth girls knew something they shouldn't know, so naturally they could only be sent to Yuri.
The four mutilated corpses were no exception.
Alas, I have to say, compared to Long Ma and Yuri, who dominate their respective worlds, Josie is still the worst offender.
Do something out of the ordinary, you have to be careful.
Now that the end of the year is approaching, in another two months, a new plane beacon will be ushered in, and I don’t know what kind of world and what kind of people will be encountered by then.
Josie is looking forward to it.
When I got home, it was already late at night, and Margot hadn't slept yet. Instead, in the specially built baby room next to the master bedroom, she sat by the cradle and watched the two children giggling, while Francesca was watching the mother three. Yawn straight.
So it's really a silly three-year pregnancy?
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Josie squeezed to Margot's side and said with a smile while looking at the two pink babies in the cradle.
"...Go take a shower, what are you doing? Your body smells of rust!" Margot's brows furrowed as soon as Josie approached.
Hearing Margot's words, Josie couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Rust smell?
Josie reacted in the next second, it wasn't the smell of rust, it was the smell of blood.
Although he had already cleaned it a little while in the nightclub, after all, he spent a few hours in a bloody box, and Margot was still recovering from the postpartum period and was more sensitive, so it was easy to smell this smell.
Without any hesitation, he went straight out of the baby room to take a bath.
No way, don't look at Josie's majesty outside, but since the two little guys were born at home, Margot's mother's love has almost exploded, and all her energy is devoted to the child, which has led to Josie's status in the family. linear decrease.
……………………
a few days later.
New York.
Competitive Social Club!
Although the external business cards of this nine-member council are almost all over the United States, most of them actually appear in high-end entertainment venues similar to the Happy Zone nightclub, and the ones with official club signs are actually New York and Los Angeles. the first and second largest cities.
In the dim conference hall, seven people in suits and ties sat around a large round table.
And Wilfred Malik, who had met Josie not long ago, could only stand on one side.
Obviously, although after Wilfred's efforts in the past ten years, the Malik family has returned to the core circle of Hydra, but there is still a long way to go to be on an equal footing with other snake heads.
This has nothing to do with age, because among the seven people in front of him, Calvin Chadwick of the Itherdan Group and Hugh Jones of the Roxon Group are actually about the same age as Wilfred.
But the two of them leisurely occupied two of the existing seven seats, and they had a lot of power to speak.
And this is simply because the strength of the Itherdan Group and the Roxon Group is far greater than that of the Malick family that has declined.
Only Wilfred himself knew the various tastes.
"Wilfred, tell me about your contact with Josh Kahn!" the old man sitting in the first place asked, looking at Wilfred Malik.
The old man's name is Thomas Gloucester, the leader of Hydra with the highest discourse power in contemporary times, the financial giant of Wall Street, and the helm of the First Citigroup.
The first Citigroup is the top US consortium with Citibank as the core, and Citibank is the oldest bank on Wall Street.
In the world of Josie's previous life, the first Citigroup conglomerate declined for a time due to the Great Depression in the 1930s, and was then controlled by the Rockefeller and Morgan consortiums. It was not until the 1950s that it barely recovered.
But in this world, the First Citibank consortium, under the control of the nine-member council, cooperated with the Roxon Energy Group and the Itherdan Energy Group, but became the mastermind behind the Great Depression in the 1930s and the biggest winner.
On the contrary, Rockefeller and Morgan were hit hard by the Great Depression and have become marginal consortia... The most remarkable point is that the Rockefeller Center in this world is not called Rockefeller Center, but Roxon Center!
That is to say, in this world, the first Citigroup consortium has replaced the original Morgan consortium, and the Rockefeller group has replaced the Rockefeller consortium.
The Altherdan Group is the core of the California consortium.
As for the Malik family, the prototype in the original world of Qiao Xi was the Mellon family. In that world, the Mellon family also began to decline in the Great Depression, and the control of the consortium gradually fell into the control of other families and enterprises.
That is to say, if you include Malik, who has not yet regained the right to speak to the consortium, there are four of the top ten American consortiums in this world, and the nine-member council, and the four are the most powerful.
It's not surprising why Josie attaches so much importance to the Council of Nine.
In particular, as long as you have the right to speak in the Council of Nine, what is the difference between you and half of the United States?
In contrast, the remaining few strengths of the Council are weaker.
One is newspaper mogul Mortimer Hayez, who controls half of the media industry in New York and Los Angeles.
The remaining two are political.
In contrast, the most stretched crotch is actually the von Strucker family.
In the comics, Strucker, like the Red Skull, is a red man under the mustache, and there is also a Zemo.
But in this world suspected to be based on the movie universe, although the von Strucker family has also been brilliant, it is only a powerful family in Germany during the First World War.
During World War II, because of the failure of the struggle for power and profit with Moustache and Schmidt, he was directly driven out of Europe. After running to the United States, he became a vassal of the Roxon Group.
It was not until he returned to Europe after the end of World War II that he took over the remnants of the Red Skull's defeat, and then he became a little stronger. Then in the era of the Avengers, he mastered the Daquan of a party - the one killed by Ultron in the movie is the contemporary Leader of the Strucker family, son of Thomas von Strucker.
But it can also be seen from the movie that Strucker at that time was also under Gideon Malik and Alexander Pierce.
But in this world, the Strucker family wants to stand up again, I am afraid it is a bit difficult.
Because the Hydra forces in Europe have already been preconceived by Josie, and they are almost annexed.
"Yes, leader, I can fully confirm that Josh Kahn is our own!" Wilfred answered with a stern face when asked by several leaders of the council.
