Chapter 694: I Can’t Refuse (Please Collect, Recommend, and Subscribe) 4500 Words, Please Double It!!

When Matt came to the police station again, he found that Jessica had signed a plea agreement with the prosecutor. → Matt was shocked. His first reaction was that Kai had done something to force Jessica to sign the plea agreement. Matt admitted that Jessica had committed a crime. After all, if she smashed the police station, it would not be considered a crime. That would be really unfair. But Matt himself is a lawyer. If he wants to sue, he is sure to start with Jessica's mental state and convince the jury to let Jessica pay compensation and participate in community labor.

Matt will protest, of course. He thinks Jessica was forced to sign the agreement in the absence of a lawyer.

Don't say that Matt knew the law and broke it, but Matt has a deeper consideration. Putting Jessica in jail, let alone whether Jessica will resist or escape from prison. Just say that if such a powerful fighter like Jessica is outside, how much crime can be dealt with.

Matt has his own logic on which is more important.

In the face of Matt's protest, Kai did not show up. He was very busy. Instead, the police officer took Matt to see Jessica.

To Matt's surprise, Jessica said she was willing to go to jail, pay compensation, etc. Don't even think about it!

Later, Jessica hinted to Matt that she was willing to go to jail because of Batman's intention.

Now Matt was even more helpless.

Since Batman said so, what can Matt do?

Matt still believed in Batman's character. After all, in Matt's opinion, Batman was a person who adhered to principles more than him. When he faced those ninjas, he couldn't help but want to kill them, but Batman remained the same and insisted on the principle of not killing.

...

As mentioned earlier, Kai was busy. What was he busy with?

Busy looking for someone!

Kingpin!

After catching Kilgrave that day, this guy finally confessed why he ran to New York under Kai's interrogation.

Kai didn't expect that this guy could be related to Kingpin!

When he said that he was hired by Kingpin. Kai didn't react.

Because this name is too old!

So old that Kai almost forgot this person. It's like this in the underworld. When Kingpin was all-powerful, he could hear this name everywhere. But Kingpin didn't disappear, even if he only disappeared for a few months. What kind of ecological environment is the gang? Don't look at many big gangs. They have a long history, but they are a minority after all. The real gang ecology is dominated by those gangsters who rise and fall.

Gangsters have today but no tomorrow, and the speed of renewal is really fast.

So after a period of time, basically no one paid attention to Kingpin, even if he was famous, it was useless, he was already a thing of the past. Now the underworld is eyeing the title of King of New York he left behind. As for Kingpin? Who cares?

Although Kai was curious about why Kingpin disappeared before, after a period of observation, he found that Kingpin was indeed missing, and then Kai didn't pay attention to it anymore. After all, he is very busy.

As a result, Kingpin's name appeared again out of the blue. →

Through Kilgrave, Kai learned that although Kingpin seemed to have left New York, in fact, the King of New York had never left his territory from the beginning to the end. He still manipulated the huge power of the New York underground world. And he continued to stir up trouble in secret.

Of course, this was Kilgrave's guess. He thought that Kingpin could not really stay there honestly.

Kai was naturally interested in Kingpin, but unfortunately Kilgrave didn't know much. He didn't know where Kingpin was, and he had never even seen Kingpin.

Although it was a bit regrettable, Kai was not completely without gain.

In order to keep an eye on Kilgrave, the pervert, Kingpin could mobilize a lot of manpower. And Kilgrave just knew the news of these people.

This was also Kilgrave's last contribution.

Kai is doing this now!

Although he didn't know what Kingpin was going to do, this didn't prevent Kai from taking action against Kingpin's forces! The case of attacking the police has not been settled yet!

...

Just when Jessica was about to perform the tears behind the iron bars, Kai was leading people to carry out a large-scale elimination of Kingpin's men!

First, the Russians of Vladimir's brothers!

These people are actually quite easy to deal with. Their main members are now hiding together. With Kilgrave's intelligence, it is not too easy to catch them all. However, the two brothers who are the main culprits ran away. They failed to catch them. The two brothers are very thieves. After Susie raided their hiding place that day, the two Russians ran away quickly, without even taking their trusted subordinates.

But it doesn't matter. Kai's target is not them, but Kingpin!

Just when the police were cracking down on the forces left by Kingpin everywhere, Kingpin also responded.

In a commercial building in Manhattan, a white man in a suit and tie, with a gentle appearance and gold-rimmed glasses, made a phone call with a gloomy face: "Boss, something happened."

"What's the matter?" A deep and rich male voice sounded.

"Kilgrave is dead, and the Vladimir brothers' forces were wiped out by the police. The two brothers ran away. The police seem to have obtained some information from Kilgrave or the Vladimir brothers. Now the police have begun to crack down on our hidden agents in New York. We have suffered heavy losses." The white man with gold-rimmed glasses is James Wesley, the Kingpin's right-hand man. But the look on his face at this moment is that of another person.

"WTF!" The person on the other end of the phone cursed loudly, but soon fell silent again, with only heavy and rapid breathing coming from the receiver.

James smiled bitterly and waited quietly. He knew this would be the result.

"What's going on?" The expected question came from the other end of the phone. "I want to know everything! Nothing can be missed!"

"I'm doing this for this matter." James had already investigated, otherwise he might not have the courage to make this call. "Originally, everything was going according to plan. The police have already issued a wanted notice for Black Mask, but..."

"Is it Kilgrave?" Kingpin could think that the problem with the plan was definitely because of Kilgrave. →

"Well..." James was also a bunch of drafters in his mind. The plan was simple and not complicated at all. It was to let Kilgrave use his ability to ruin Daredevil's reputation, use the police and public opinion to reduce Daredevil's living space, and finally find Daredevil, and then manipulate him or kill him!

It stands to reason that such a plan is unlikely to have any accidents.

But an accident happened. How can this be justified?

"I don't know the details either. I only know that Kilgrave suddenly attacked the police officers of the 15th Precinct, and then he was caught by the chief of the 15th Precinct, and then he died. According to the information from our insider in the 15th Precinct, it was the chief who played a trick and made Kilgrave commit suicide..."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while before continuing: "Are you sure it was Kilgrave?"

Kilgrave was a very useful chess piece for Kingpin, and he also played a very important role in Kingpin's future plans. But now...

"It was him, I won't admit it wrong." James confirmed this answer.

This time the other end of the phone was silent for a longer time. After a full few minutes, the person on the other end said: "We can't lose those backbones anymore. Let the regional heads temporarily stop their activities and hide, and transfer the transaction to external members. In addition, you find someone to kill..."

At this point, Kingpin took a few deep breaths before changing his tone: "Go check how much that Kai knows."

At that moment, Kingpin really wanted to kill Kai, but reason still pulled him back from his anger. It's not the right time yet!

"Okay, boss."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before Kingpin said, "Wesley, you should also be alert and don't show up in person for these things."

James: "Understood, boss."

After hanging up the phone, James let out a long breath: "How could I not show up?"

Under the current situation, if he doesn't solve the problem as soon as possible, those partners in New York are likely to get out of control and pocket a lot of benefits. You know, now Leland and the Hand and the Society have already complained about Kingpin.

He must find a group of suitable people to get rid of that damn Daredevil and his newly formed gang.

Thinking so in his heart, James thought of Kilgrave again, and he couldn't help but feel depressed: Kilgrave, this guy, how could he die! Without Kilgrave, the boss's plan will have a big problem.

Why did this idiot, perverted and retarded person suddenly go crazy and go to the police for trouble? And he ran into Kai!

These complaints can't change anything, so James immediately got rid of this emotion. He must get the matter in front of him as soon as possible. Mrs. Gao is already impatient!

Helpers, how can they be so easy to find?

Now even the Continental Hotel is closed.

Wait, the Continental Hotel... assassins.

James immediately thought of a group of assassins.

"Mutual Aid Association..."

Even if the Continental Hotel existed, James would not go to the Continental Hotel, after all, there is naked hatred between them. And ordinary assassins can't deal with those masked men with extraordinary strength. But mutual aid can!

After all, this group of people are not ordinary people!

...

Kingpin's contraction policy was soon implemented, Kingpin's power was hidden deeper, and Kai didn't gain much for a while. In terms of organizational level, these people are really not ordinary street thugs.

So for a period of time, the underground forces of the whole New York were more or less implicated, which greatly increased the momentum of the New York police.

The crime rate also dropped a lot, and the key is that there were fewer deaths, especially in Hell's Kitchen, where the crime rate dropped by at least 20 percentage points compared with the same quarter of previous years!

Don't underestimate this 20 percentage points. You know, the statistics of Hell's Kitchen in recent years show that this trend is rising! This is the first time that the crime rate has decreased in a quarter! This alone is enough to make the mayor ecstatic.

The crime rate in New York has always been a long-standing problem. It has basically been stable and rising year by year, without any decline.

This year, it was a disaster!

This is a solid political achievement! It is definitely enough for the mayor to brag in the media.

I don’t know if it was because of this political achievement that the mayor got too excited. He actually shouted in front of the media: "We must completely transform Hell’s Kitchen! Let it return to its original name, Clinton District!"

This is not a joke!

The problem of Hell’s Kitchen has lasted for nearly 50 years. All the mayors of New York City have thought about changing it, but they all failed.

You know, Hell’s Kitchen is in Manhattan, next to Broadway, and close to the Hudson River!

The geographical location is really too good.

If it can be developed there, it will be a political achievement!

But for fifty years, Hell's Kitchen is still the same Hell's Kitchen, and there is no change at all. In fact, the solution to Hell's Kitchen has always been there, which is nothing more than continuous investment to bring about rapid development, and the value of real estate and rent will naturally increase significantly. Under such circumstances, the continuous "gentrification" problem has caused many residents who originally lived in this area to be forced to move out because they could not afford the rising living burden.

Unfortunately, it's useless! The gangs are entrenched here, and the cost of developing this place is too high. No one would be stupid enough to invest such a large amount of money.

Fortunately, because it has been fifty years, everyone is immune to such remarks, and everyone thinks that the mayor is just repeating the bragging of his predecessors.

In the United States, you have to get used to politicians lying.

Can you become a politician without lying?

So everyone really didn't care much.

But the next day, Kai was called to the mayor's office, and Pepper and Natalie were also in the office...

"So... you agreed to the mayor's request?" More than an hour later, Kai sat in a cafe with two beauties to chat.

"Mr. Mayor has given us a bargaining chip that makes us excited, why not agree?" Pepper took the coffee and said as if it was a matter of course.

Kai covered his forehead: "I know, I know, promote new energy."

Just now, the mayor reached a cooperation with the president of Stark Group in front of Kai!

Stark Group will invest in a development group and officially settle in Hell's Kitchen. The city government will give the biggest discount, such as the dock of Hell's Kitchen will be allocated to Stark Group. At the same time, the city government will also give preferential treatment on public land.

And Stark Group needs to settle a high-tech development zone under its group in Hell's Kitchen!

Of course, this is an open transaction. If it is just this, it will not impress Stark Group. The amount involved in a high-tech development zone is calculated in tens of billions of dollars! It is a long-term and huge investment. If it is just this report, I believe that any normal person in the upper echelons of Stark Group will not agree.

So the mayor promised that in the next year, he will promote new energy policies, all new energy sources can enjoy corresponding subsidies, and within this year, all government departments' circuits will be incorporated into the power grid of Stark Energy Group.

This is a real benefit.

And the success rate of this normal implementation is very high. The concept of green and environmentally friendly new energy has been popular for a long time, but the influence of the old energy industry in the United States is very large. Secondly, the new energy industry was indeed very weak before Stark, so most of the time, the government just shouted slogans. The investment and support for new energy has never been too much.

But with the launch of Stark new energy, everything has changed.

At this stage, the domestic dispute between new energy and old energy is very fierce, and politicians are also divided into two factions.

New York is a very international metropolis, always likes to be ahead of the trend, and naturally has a very high acceptance of new energy. Therefore, the mayor's new energy policy has a very high chance of passing. More importantly, if the mayor promotes a new energy policy, it means political standing. The influence of New York City is absolutely unquestionable.

The public standing of the mayor of New York is definitely a huge good news for the new energy faction of the federation.

The interests involved are huge.

In comparison, the investment in Hell's Kitchen is nothing.

And the mayor called Kai over, and his attitude was also very obvious.

That is to let Kai come to guarantee Stark's investment in Hell's Kitchen!

"Do you know how bad the situation in Hell's Kitchen is? Although it seems to be much better at this stage, who knows how long it can last?"

"Isn't this why the mayor asked you to come?" Natalie looked proud of you. Not knowing also means that Natalie is really Kai's lover.

Pepper doesn't know Natalie's true identity because Tony is afraid of scaring her, and having such an agent with Pepper is also a safety guarantee. So Pepper has always thought that Natalie is really interested in Kai, and she has always hoped to match them up.

"Don't forget! You also have shares in the Stark Group."
