Daniel Rand, whose real name was Daniel Thomas Rand-Kay, was born into a wealthy family in New York, the "Rand Family". When he was nine years old, he encountered an accident while climbing with his parents and his father's business partner Harold. Falling off a cliff, resulting in the death of both Danny's parents. Danny was rescued by archers from Kunlun. Danny followed the archer to the location of Thunder Lord to learn martial arts. After intense training, Danny defeated Shou Lao, inherited the title of Iron Fist, and became the 66th Iron Fist.
After obtaining the title of Iron Fist, Daniel also became qualified to leave Kunlun. As the current Iron Fist, Daniel comes to the outside world with his own mission, which is to get back Kunlun's things!
These include the hands, the stolen dragon bones and the cultivation method of 'qi'!
So young Daniel embarked on a journey to chase the killer peace meeting. In Cambodia, he encountered an assassination by a mysterious man. During the fight, Daniel was also helped by another force. In the end, Daniel escaped the pursuit. And those mysterious people who helped him, Then all of them were killed, and only one person was saved by Daniel, but he was also dying. Later, Daniel learned through his last words that the person who killed him was a ninja from the Hand and the Hand, and the person who helped him came from a Hand and Hand. An organization that is incompatible with the Peace Society - the Shinsun Society.
Through the last words of the dying Shinshinkai member, Daniel decided to return to New York after more than ten years of absence!
However, Daniel doesn’t know much. His only clue now is the sword of the Shinsunkai member. This kind of sword is very rare due to its material and forging technology. According to Daniel’s investigation, there is only one private shop in New York. The knife forging workshop forges this kind of knife.
Daniel decided to start from this aspect.
Of course, before that, he needs to get his property back.
As mentioned before, Daniel came to a wealthy family, and his family founded the Rand Group. Although this group cannot be compared with those real evildoers, its market value exceeds 300 million US dollars. Well, this is still the tragedy of Daniel's family. The market value of the company over there.
Now, the market value of Rand Group has already exceeded US$6 billion!
As the founder of the group, the Rand family has absolute control of the Rand Group.
Although Daniel has been cultivating in Kunlun these years and does not have high material requirements, it is a family business after all, and he needs to get it back no matter what.
These days, Daniel is busy working on this matter.
I have to say, this is difficult.
After all, no one would be willing for a person who had been missing for more than ten years and was even considered to be in distress to suddenly come forward and want to take back the ownership of the company.
Daniel didn't like that kind of intrigue, but as a son of man, he had to take back what originally belonged to his family. So Daniel was not doing well during this period. But these days, it's not all unpleasant.
For example, he has made some new friends these days.
Colleen Wing, this is the girl that Daniel is obsessed with. She is an Asian and an excellent female swordsman who runs a dojo by herself. Daniel met her for the first time just to spar with her, but instead of being angry because of Daniel's rudeness, the girl felt pity for Daniel's downfall and helped Daniel.
This made Daniel, who had been stoic all these years but couldn't suppress his hormones, fall in love with this beautiful female swordsman all of a sudden.
There is also Joy Meacham, the daughter of Harold Meacham. Harold Meacham is Danny’s father’s partner, so he should be considered Daniel’s uncle, but this Harold Meacham Cham has passed away, and control of the RAND Corporation has now been handed over to Joy and Ward Meacham, Harold Meacham's sons and daughters.
Joey was very happy about Daniel's return and was happy to let Daniel get his shares back. But her brother Ward didn't think so. Regardless of whether Daniel was the real Daniel, he didn't feel that he needed to return the company to Daniel, because the company's development to this point has nothing to do with Daniel and his Rand family. There is no relationship. Why, how come they can openly take back the company even though they have never done anything in more than ten years?
Originally, Ward felt that if Daniel was really Daniel, he would be willing to hand over part of the equity, but not too much. Anyway, it would be enough for Daniel to be wealthy for a lifetime. But his sister Joy jumped out and insisted on returning the company to Daniel. This caused Ward to suddenly explode. Damn it, this is his biological sister!
But one thing is that Ward is really good to his sister, so he can't really blame his sister, so Daniel became the object of Ward's hatred. In Ward's view, Daniel is a bastard who cheated on his sister!
In short, because of this incident, the Rand Group has been very busy recently.
Even in Colin's dojo, there are people talking about the Rand Group.
"Hey, Daniel, I heard that Ward is in trouble recently?" Claire Temple asked Daniel carelessly, who was driving a wooden mannequin, without paying any attention to Colin's eyes next to him.
Daniel ignored her and concentrated on the routine.
It wasn't until after the work was over that Daniel said: "It's not that serious. Ward was just called out by the police to assist in the investigation."
"That's a drug shipment! I heard it was a whole container." Claire's eyes widened and she said with disbelief.
Claire, speaking of which, she has some connection with Kai. Remember the last time Kai was robbed at his doorstep? There was an idiot who was Claire's cousin. In the end, Claire asked Matt and Fergie for mercy. It was Fergie who finally asked for mercy, so Kai let go and did not prosecute those idiots, but only put the mastermind in jail.
By the way, Claire is not an ordinary person. She may be the first person after Kai to know that Matt is Daredevil. This involves another bad fate, which I won't go into detail here.
To be honest, Matt is a good person. But for the people around him, this guy is equivalent to a weakened version of the star of fate. In short, people who have something to do with him will always be involved in some troubles inexplicably.
Claire is the same. She has been kidnapped, beaten, tortured, and almost died.
For this reason, Claire is really a little afraid of getting along with Matt. →
But Matt has a superpower, which is to make people fly into the fire. Although they know that staying by his side is not good, many people are still willing to stand with him.
Claire was the same, so in order to improve her ability to protect herself, she came to Colin's dojo to learn karate. Of course, more importantly, it was cheap here. Although Claire's salary as a nurse was not low, it was not that high either.
"I believe Ward will not touch those things." Daniel, Ward and Joey were actually friends when they were young, and they had a very good relationship. In Daniel's impression, the Mitcham family were all honest and trustworthy people. Although Ward had a deep misunderstanding of him now, Daniel was still willing to believe in his character. Besides, such a big group went to sell drugs? Eat too much?
"That's hard to say." Claire grew up in a standard black community. Although she didn't grow up crooked, she didn't like rich white guys.
In fact, Claire was not wrong.
The Rand Group was indeed involved in drug trafficking, and not only that. Let's put it this way, the business of the Hand and the Society has the shadow of the Rand Group.
This matter started two days ago when the police began to encircle and crack down on the Hand and the Society. The police turned over too hard and turned over the Rand Group at once. The Rand Group's business scope is very wide. They are involved in logistics, ports, manufacturing, and real estate. After the police received the intelligence, they immediately followed up and found that the Rand Group actually helped the Hand and the Society under the noses of the police. Many of the criminal activities of the Hand and the Society passed through the Rand Group's huge distribution network.
Even the last United Construction Company was also controlled by the Rand Group!
In short, in a word, the Rand Group can't get rid of the hat of colluding with the Hand and the Society.
Claire was talking and thought of Kai. Claire still had a good impression of the chief of the 15th Precinct. After taking office, this chief has been vigorously cracking down on criminal activities in Hell's Kitchen and even took the lead in patrolling Hell's Kitchen.
It has been said before that the police in the United States follow the gap between the rich and the poor. Where there is money, the tax is high, so naturally the police get more funding, and more police can be recruited, and the public security will naturally be better. For example, the police force in the Upper East Side of Manhattan is extremely conflicting, and police patrols can often be seen. But the Clinton District not far away... let's not talk about it. Who said that Clinton is the famous Hell's Kitchen?
Kai's practice of vigorously strengthening the police force in Hell's Kitchen is rare in the whole United States. And the effect is very good. During this period, the crime rate in Hell's Kitchen has indeed dropped a lot.
In addition, Claire's cousin's incident made it difficult for Claire not to have a good impression of Kai.
"Besides, this is a case that Chief Wayne is personally responsible for. How could it be wrong?"
For the civilians in Clinton, Kai's reputation is really very good.
Daniel didn't have any special opinion about Claire's trust in a police chief. He has lived in Kunlun for more than ten years. Overall, he is still a relatively simple young man and has little contact with the darkness of society. So he quickly believed that Kai was a good policeman.
"There must be some misunderstanding in the middle." Daniel still didn't believe that his good friend would be involved in those things.
"Rich people... hum!" Claire expressed her opinion very directly.
Daniel was a little speechless. He said unhappily, "According to you, I am also a bad guy?"
That's right. Even if Daniel couldn't get the Rand Group back, he would be a rich man just relying on the Rand family's inheritance.
"You?" Claire squinted at Daniel: "Look at how you look like a rich man now. Have you ever seen a rich man who is so poor that he can't afford to rent a house and has to sleep on the floor in someone else's dojo?"
"I..." Daniel's face turned red after being ridiculed.
Of course he couldn't really be poor, but... Colin...his face was also a little ruddy. I don't know if it was caused by exercise.
"Huh, you have nothing to say?" Claire thought she won, but in fact, she had eaten a mouthful of dog food invisibly, and she didn't know it at all.
That's good. At least when killing a dog, the dog didn't feel any pain at all.
Sometimes, people can't live too soberly.
Daniel was also entangled for a while. Although he didn't believe that Ward would be involved in those things, this matter was indeed a big deal. Adhering to the belief that good people should not be wronged, Daniel felt that he had to do something.
"Claire, you know that Chief Wayne, right?"
"Yes!" Claire said shamelessly. In fact, they had only met once, and Kai might not remember her.
"Can I meet him? I think there must be a misunderstanding." Daniel's idea is very simple. He thinks he can convince Kai and make him understand that the Rand Group will never participate in those criminal activities.
He doesn't think about it. Why should he meet Kai? Just because he is handsome?
What's the point of convincing? Just because he thinks Ward is not a bad person, others should believe it?
Naive. (The American TV series Iron Fist is really ugly. I can't eat it. It's so awkward. The protagonist is a retard. The acting of the leading actor... Really, the young actors in China can beat him by ten streets)
Claire is a little confused here. She is just bragging.
"That... I think it's not good to disturb him because he is so busy. By the way, I have to go to work. Let's talk when I have time!" After saying that, he ran away.
Daniel looked at his girlfriend Colin in a daze: "Didn't she just get off work?"
Colin smiled and shook her head, without saying anything. She just likes her boyfriend's stupid look.
Simple!
...
Kai is very upset now, because although he has wiped out the power of the Hand and the Society, those ninjas have disappeared as if they have evaporated from the face of the earth. Kai is really overwhelmed here, he has no idea how to close the case.
Kai also reported the matter of the Hand and the Society to his superiors.
But the superiors seem to have received some instructions, asking Kai to wipe out the Hand and the Society, that is for sure, but... there are requirements on how to announce it. They can't really announce the truth, the reason is simple, ninja? The kind that is not dead yet?
How to say this?
It's too unreasonable!
If the outside world knows about it, they might think that their police station is mentally ill.
So the superiors asked Kai to do this thing beautifully. To put it simply, it is not to announce the truth, but the matter must be done, and there must be an explanation to the public.
Kai almost cursed the director with his computer at that time.
There are so many requirements, why don't you come?
Fortunately, at this time, the Rand Group was exposed.
Just right.
He was taken the blame.
The higher-ups were a little hesitant, after all, the Rand Group was really big, but after thinking about it, they still approved it.
After all, there must be a person of weight to take the blame for this matter.
The Rand Group just happened to be one.
First of all, the Rand Group was not wronged at all. Just the things that have been found out now are already sensational enough.
Money laundering, drug trafficking, helping human trafficking, smuggling arms, etc., even if there is no solid evidence, it is almost the same.
Secondly, it is big enough!
The only problem is... the Rand Group has money!
He took the current president of the Rand Group back to the police station, and a team of more than a dozen well-known lawyers rushed to the police station.
Kai was troubled by this group of legal jackals.
These people almost said that Ward Mitcham was a living saint, what a philanthropist, animal protector, environmental supporter, etc. The key is that Kai did not have direct evidence to prove that Ward Mitcham was involved in those things.
So Ward Mitcham swaggered away two hours after being taken back to the police station.
"Tsk..." Although Kai was unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
There is a reason why many police officers don't like to handle cases related to rich people. Most of these guys have a very strong legal team behind them and are very difficult to deal with.
"Chief!"
Just when Kai was thinking about how to deal with the Rand Group, Misty came in.
"Just now there was a gang gunfight in the Clinton area, and there were many casualties!"
"Huh?" Kai looked over with wide eyes.
It's already now, and there are still gang members who are so stupid? Are they tired of fighting in his jurisdiction?
Misty shrugged, indicating that she didn't know.
"Anyway, the Metropolitan Hospital is already busy now."
"Come on, let me see, I want to see who is giving face so much, do you think our police have too little work recently?" Kai took out his gun from the drawer without saying a word, hung it on his waist and walked out the door.
I'm feeling upset, so I went to play with these scumbags, just to exercise my body!
