In the end, Kai agreed to Elizabeth's request. Strictly speaking, this request was not difficult, and could even be said to be very simple. The Stark Group has been one of the weapons suppliers to the US military since World War II. Its position can be said to be deeply rooted in the United States, and this is only its influence in the military and government. Among the people, since Howard Stark died in a car accident and Tony Stark took over, the Stark Group's influence among the people has become stronger and stronger day by day.
There is no way around it, Tony is a natural news maker. He has attracted media attention since he was an orphan from a wealthy family. He has lived up to expectations and turned into a real playboy. There is even a saying on Wall Street that it is precisely because of Tony Stark's physique that naturally attracts the spotlight that Stark's market value has continued to rise, becoming the company with the largest market value in the United States and even the world today.
There is no way, part of the reason is that Tony Stark is talented. He is indeed a technological genius, and it seems that there are problems that he cannot solve. But this is not important to ordinary people. How can they care about technological problems that they cannot even remember their names? What really makes the Stark Group so famous is Tony Stark's various anecdotes and gossip, which in disguise allows the Stark Group to get attention that makes the entire Hollywood covet.
If the attention goes up, then the stock price will be easy to say. In Kai's previous life, I don't know how many people cut leeks in the stock market just by telling stories. What's more, Stark Group's revenue has always been very good, coupled with high attention, it would be unreasonable for the stock price not to rise.
The high market value has in turn increased the influence of the Stark Group, and as the president of the group, Tony Stark's personal reputation has also increased. This creates a virtuous cycle.
In short, today, Tony Stark has become a living signature of the Stark Group. In the past two years, due to the need for reconstruction of the Stark Group's New York headquarters, Tony moved the Stark headquarters to Los Angeles. His exposure has reached a new level. Even Tony has many people in Hollywood. invest.
Those Hollywood companies are very welcoming of Tony's investment, for no other reason than to gain popularity. Anyway, those Hollywood companies don't all use their own funds to invest in movies. They also absorb external funds. Since they all accept investment, what's the problem with accepting Tony's? Not to mention, a movie being funded by Tony Stark is a very good topic in itself.
But the amazing thing is that Tony's vision in choosing movies has always been a mystery. In today's American society, Jordan and Tony have always had the same vision. Whichever movie Tony invests in will definitely fail at the box office. Although it will not lose money, it is really rare to make money. Like Jordan's draft vision, there are mostly parallel imports, and there are really few who can play well.
But what is better than Jordan is that the heroines of the movies Tony invests will definitely enter the fast lane of their careers... Because basically every movie heroine will have an affair with him, so even if Tony's vision is very touching, Hollywood's Tony is still eager for it.
It's a bit far-fetched. In short, the influence of Stark Group and Stark himself is so great that many aspects need to give him face. What's more, this is his own expo, so it's easy to arrange for a few little stars to perform as opening performances. As for the guest performers who would be kicked off...Tony wouldn't care anyway. Pepper wouldn't do it even more.
"So, you called me just to talk about this?" Pepper was a little aggrieved. Kai rarely took the initiative to call her. In fact, after exchanging phone numbers, Kai didn't even take the initiative to call her once. Pepper called her. But now it's so easy to make a phone call, and it's actually for such a trivial matter.
Well, in Pepper's opinion, it is indeed a small matter. Although Pepper is just Tony's secretary, she actually handles many of Tony's affairs. She has an absolutely high position and authority. What's more, Tony also likes Pepper, a secretary who is pursued by the boss. Think about it for yourself, she How awesome is it? Don't look at those celebrities in Hollywood who are awesome and have many fans. But these are nothing in front of capital.
"Uh..." Kai was a little embarrassed, he was afraid that Pepper would ask this. But then I thought about it, no, shouldn't you be a couple with Tony? Is it really okay to talk like this? "Ahem, what about that? You are the only person I know who can handle this, so I called you."
Kai said honestly, and at the end, he said as if to remind: "You and...Tony, I can call him this. How did you and him go that night?"
What Kai meant was, sister, the layer of window paper between you and Tony has been pierced. We all have boyfriends/girlfriends, so don’t say things that will make people think wrongly.
Unexpectedly, Pepper didn't notice Kai's deep meaning, or she didn't think there was any ambiguity in what she said before. "We... or rather I, can never make up our minds, you know Tony..."
Then Pepper talked about her various concerns about Tony. In fact, Kay didn't have a good impression of Tony either. After all, Tony was too high-profile and changed his girlfriend too frequently. Of course, there's nothing wrong with it. It's his business to do what he wants with other people's money, and he hasn't broken any laws. But as a boyfriend candidate, Kai really doesn't recommend it.
If it were just Tony's choice of shaving his head, it would be hot. Then Kai will definitely give Pepper advice. No matter what, Pepper is a good girl and there is no need to jump into this pit of fire. But the problem is, whether it's based on last night's observations or Pepper's complaints now, it all shows one thing, that is, Pepper also likes Tony.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters, and this kind of messy matter between men and women is even more difficult to deal with than household matters. Kai will not come forward. This is something that others do willingly. Why do you, an outsider, get in the way?
Kai listened to Pepper's complaints and regarded himself as Pepper's best friend. This is the first time Kai has played this role in his life. It’s not too difficult, just be an honest listener.
In short, these two people completely abandoned the topic just now. Because it's not important in the first place.
Although Isabella kept smiling at the side, she was already filled with several kilograms of lemons. The goal that she dreamed of achieving seemed so insignificant in the eyes of others, which was an uncomfortable feeling. She doesn't think she's worse than Pepper, it's just that she has better luck! However, this did not make Isabella's mentality unbalanced. In turn, this feeling gave Isabella greater motivation. She just wants to be this kind of person!
After chatting for about twenty minutes, Pepper finally released the anguish in her heart.
"I need to have a meeting with people from the city government. Let's talk next time. By the way, that Psylocke Entertainment you mentioned, ask their person in charge to come to Stark's Chicago branch tomorrow, and I will arrange to connect with him. "
That's it.
Kai put down the phone and looked at Isabella.
Isabella smiled and nodded, then picked up a phone and walked to another room. After three minutes, she came out.
"I'll give you news tonight."
Kai didn't say much, nodded and left.
…
In an underground club, Selina, the leader of the Death Walkers and Victor's adopted daughter, was looking at a vampire who sent a message with a livid face.
"you sure?"
"Yes, ma'am. That's the message I received." The vampire looked as pale as a consumption-addict.
"Who is that policeman?" Selina felt a headache. They were originally looking for any trace of Blade and Hannibal. As a result, the two powerful enemies were not found, but instead they provoked an even more ruthless person.
"We checked. He is the ace detective of the Chicago Police Headquarters Detective Bureau. He has handled several major cases and is very good at fighting. It's just our people before. We didn't expect that he would..." The existence of vampires has always been It's a secret that should be kept secret from the top. Everyone at the top of the country's power pyramid knows about the existence of vampires, but the lower down the hierarchy, the fewer people know about it. No one thought before that a small policeman could wipe out a group of death walkers so easily.
After waiting for a while, the vampire continued: "We also just discovered that the policeman knew the Wen brothers. The Wen brothers lived in the policeman's house when they came to Chicago."
"Brothers Wen..." Selina also had a headache when she heard this name.
If there is anyone who is the most notorious executioner among vampires, it is undoubtedly Blade. But at the same time, the reputation of the Wen brothers is not small. Although they have only been hunting down some small families over the years, they have some impressive achievements. They once killed a four-hundred-year-old vampire in Quebec, Canada. This incident caused a sensation in the vampire circle. .
Unlike Dao Feng, who has a reputation for cutting with one knife and one shot, these two brothers are evil and ruthless. Even if they say how strong they are, that's not the case. But they can turn danger into good luck every time. No matter how difficult the situation is, they can always be safe and sound. Their reputation among demons and ghosts is very good.
Of course, this does not frighten Selina. The key is that Selina knows more. The two brothers are involved in some very ancient existences. These existences, let alone her, are not even her adoptive father Victor. Dare to provoke too much.
This kind of guy with a background is the most annoying.
But this also gave Selina a reasonable explanation for why the police officer was able to kill the team led by Zhen.
Thinking of Zhen, Selina had another headache. Among vampires, the number of Asians has always been rare, especially Chinese. There is no way, according to their culture and customs, vampires are very despised by them. Furthermore, there are very few Chinese Americans in the world. This mysterious country has never looked down upon the messy Western countries. This also makes this country feel isolated and independent in the world. In short, it is very cold.
And Zhen is not only Chinese, but also a Chinese martial artist. Unlike Kai's previous world, in this world, Chinese martial arts is a very rare and powerful fighting technique that is highly sought after by other countries. Unfortunately, few of those martial arts spread abroad.
Since getting Zhen, Victor has always valued him, and even gave him the training of Death Walker. It has to be said that Zhen's ability is indeed good, and the Death Walker's strength has made great progress under his training. Unfortunately, like all martial artists, Zhen never taught them real skills.
But Victor is not in a hurry. Vampires have a long lifespan anyway, so take your time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
But I didn’t expect that there would be no future.
"Okay, you go down." Selina waved her hand to let the vampire who delivered the message leave.
Now there are only two ways in front of Selina. One is to ignore Zhen's affairs and continue to complete the mission. The other is to put down the mission first and kill the little policeman.
But when she hesitated, an unexpected person found her.
"Who?" Just when Selina was thinking about it, she suddenly felt someone was spying on her, so without thinking, she raised the gun and shot in the direction of the hidden person.
Ding!
A bullet was also shot out of the darkness, hitting Selina! The two bullets collided in the air and made an extremely clear collision sound.
"Hey hey hey hey, little princess of the vampire family, don't be so excited, we are not here to cause trouble for you." A slightly nervous voice sounded, and then a man with extremely strange dressing sense walked out of the darkness.
He wore a tight suit, a very tight one, and a mask on his head. At the same time, there is a cross target mark on his forehead. I don’t know what the problem is.
But Selina didn't look down on this man at all, but instead looked solemn.
"Bullseye..."
Bullseye, a notorious assassin and the chief assassin of the Kingpin, the underground godfather of New York City. There are many stories about his origins, but no one knows which one is true, but one thing is certain, that is, this guy is a real madman. It is said that in order for his chief assassin to serve him better, Kingpin also offered a large price to have a famous psychiatrist treat Bullseye's psychological problems.
The psychiatrist diagnosed him with borderline personality disorder and potential psychopathic tendencies. The psychiatrist was then penciled in by Bullseye.
After that, the treatment naturally came to nothing.
Although he was a madman, Kingpin still entrusted him with important tasks. Because even if he is a madman, he is also a very strong madman. As a mutant, Bullseye has an innate ability to throw, and he can throw any object in his hand at the target with incredible accuracy and power. Some of his exploits include tearing out a person's throat with playing cards, spitting his own teeth into an enemy's skull, throwing a paper airplane to a distant rooftop and killing a toothpick by throwing it through a window a hundred yards away. one person.
In addition to his accurate shooting ability, Bullseye is also a professional martial artist and a marksman with conventional or cold weapons. Bullseye also has extraordinary physical strength, agility, endurance, speed, and reflexes. Simply put, he is a natural killing machine!
"Why did Kingpin's lackey appear in front of us? What? He finally returned to normal. Do you want to change his boss?" Selina's first reaction when she saw Bullseye was that Kingpin was going to take action against them. The relationship between vampires and Kingpin was not a good one. Kingpin was notoriously disliked by vampires. Bullseye has also killed many vampires. Selena naturally doesn't have anything nice to say. She also deliberately emphasized the word 'normal'.
As we all know, Bullseye is a madman. This guy likes money and has been working as a killer before investing money and recruiting people. However, his reputation is very bad. This guy often kills the targets he wants to assassinate along with his employer.
When Bullseye originally defected to Kingpin, many people were speculating when this madman would kill his employer again. But I didn't expect that this madman has been very peaceful for several years. So just now Selina said that Bullseye was 'normal', which was actually the biggest mockery, implying that he finally relapsed and planned to betray Kingpin.
"Hahahahaha, I will let you know if I change jobs one day, but now I still work for Fisker. I like Fisker very much." Bullseye laughed wildly as if no one was watching.
"Then what are you doing here? Want to start a war?"
"Of course..." Bullseye said exaggeratedly: "No!"
Selina watched coldly as this lunatic was talking to himself.
"Fisk asked me to come to you for cooperation."
"What cooperation?"
"I'm here to help you kill that little policeman who killed your people."
Selena curled her lips disdainfully.
"Plus Hannibal and Blade!"
Selena's expression also changed this time.
