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!
Among them are 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 was assassinated by a mysterious man. During the fight, Daniel was helped by another force. In the end, Daniel escaped the pursuit. The mysterious people who helped him were all killed. 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 the ninja of the Hand and the Society, and helped him Others came to an organization that was incompatible with the Hand and the Association - the Shinsun Association.
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 the 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 owns 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.
And 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 a victim to suddenly come out 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. not related. 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's mentality to 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 were 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. Do you remember the last time Kai was robbed in front of his house? There was an idiot among them who was Claire's cousin. In the end, Claire begged Matt and Foggy, and finally it was Foggy who interceded, and Kai was allowed to relent. Instead of prosecuting those idiots, he only threw the mastermind into jail.
By the way, Claire is not an ordinary person. He may be the first person after Kai to know that Matt is Daredevil. This involves another bad relationship, which I won’t go into details here.
To put it bluntly, Matt is a good person. But to the people around him, this guy is equivalent to a weakened version of Tiansha Lone Star. In short, people who are related to him will always be involved in some troubles inexplicably.
The same goes for Claire. She was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, and almost died.
Claire is really a little afraid of getting along with Matt because of this.
But Matt has a superpower, which is that he can make people fly into flames. Even though they know they are staying by his side, there are still many people who are willing to stand with him.
The same was true for Claire, so in order to improve her ability to protect herself, she came to Colin's dojo to learn karate. Of course, more importantly, it's cheap. Although Claire's salary as a nurse is not low, it is not that high either.
"I believe Ward won't 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 Meacham family were all upright and trustworthy people, although Ward has a deep misunderstanding of him now, but Daniel is still willing to believe in his character. Besides, such a big group goes to sell drugs? ate too much?
"That's not certain." Claire grew up in a standard black community. Although she was not crooked, she didn't like rich white guys either.
In fact, Claire was really right.
The Rand Group is indeed involved in drug trafficking, and it doesn't stop there. Let's put it this way, the business of Shou Hehui has the shadow of the Rand Group.
This incident started two days ago when the police started a massive siege against the Hehui Association. The police were so ruthless that they also uncovered the Rand Group. The Rand Group's business scope is very wide. They involve logistics, ports, manufacturing, and real estate. After receiving the information, the police immediately followed up and discovered that the Rand Group was actually helping Shou Hehui under the eyes of the police. Shou Hehui's Many criminal activities pass through the RAND Group's vast distribution network.
Even the last United Construction Company was controlled by the Rand Group!
In short, in a word, the Rand Group can never get rid of the label of colluding with Shouhehui.
As Claire spoke, she thought of Kai. Claire still has a good impression of the director of the 15th Precinct. After taking office, the director has been vigorously cracking down on criminal activities in Hell's Kitchen, and even took the lead in patrolling Hell's Kitchen.
I have said before that the police here in the United States follow the gap between the rich and the poor. Where there is money, taxes will be high, and naturally the police will receive more funding, and more police officers can be recruited, and 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... I won't talk about it. Who calls Clinton District the famous Hell's Kitchen?
A significant increase in police presence in Hell's Kitchen like Kay's is rare across the United States. And the effect is very good. During this period of time, the crime rate in Hell's Kitchen has indeed been reduced a lot.
In addition, what happened with Claire's cousin made it difficult for Claire not to have a crush on Kai.
"Besides, this is a case that Director Wayne is personally responsible for. How could there be anything wrong?"
To the folks in Clinton, Kay's reputation was really good.
Daniel had no special opinion about Claire trusting a police chief. He had lived in Kunlun for more than ten years. Overall, he was still a relatively simple young man and had little contact with the darkness of society. So I quickly believed that Kai was a good policeman.
"There must be some misunderstanding." Daniel still didn't believe that his good friend would be involved in those things.
"Rich people...hum!" Claire expressed her opinion directly.
Daniel was a little speechless. He said angrily: "According to you, I am also a bad guy?"
But no, even if Daniel couldn't get back the Rand Group, he would still 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. Which rich man have you ever seen who is so poor that he can't afford to rent a house, and has been living on the floor of someone else's dojo?"
"I..." Daniel's face turned red as he was complained about.
Of course, it's impossible for him to really have no money, but...Colin...his face is also a little rosy, and he doesn't know if it's caused by exercise.
"Humph, don't you have anything to say?" Claire thought she had won, but in fact, she had already eaten a mouthful of dog food without even realizing it.
It's good, at least the dog doesn't feel any pain when killing it.
Sometimes, people can't live too soberly.
Daniel was also entangled for a moment. Although he didn't believe that Ward would be involved in those messy things, this matter was indeed a big deal. With the belief that good people should not be wronged, Daniel felt he had to do something.
"Claire, you know Director Wayne, right?"
"Yes!" Claire said shamelessly. In fact, they met once, and Kai might not remember her yet.
"Can I meet him? I think there must be a misunderstanding." Daniel's idea was very simple. He felt that he would be able to convince Kai and let him understand that the Rand Group would never participate in those criminal activities.
He didn't even think about it, why should he meet Kai? Just because he looks handsome?
Still convincing, how can I put it? Just because he thinks Ward is not a bad person, others have to believe it?
It's okay to be naive. (The American TV series Iron Fist is really ugly. I can’t stop watching it. It’s so embarrassing that the protagonist is mentally retarded. The acting skills of the lead actor...really, all the domestic freshmen can beat him ten blocks away.)
Claire is a bit blind here, she is just bragging.
"Well... I think it's not good to disturb him since he's so busy. By the way, I have to go to work. Let's talk when we have time!" After that, he ran away.
Daniel looked at his girlfriend Colin in confusion: "Didn't she just get off work?"
Colin smiled and shook his head without saying anything. She just likes the stupid look of her boyfriend who doesn't understand anything.
simple!
…
Kai is very irritated now, because although the forces of the Hand and the Association have been wiped out by him, those ninjas have disappeared like evaporating from the world. Kai is really confused here, he doesn't know how to close the case at all.
Kai also reported the matter of the hand meeting to the superiors.
But it seems that there have been some orders from above, and it is certain that Kai should be asked to clean up his hands and have a meeting, but... there are requirements on how to announce it. They can't really reveal the truth. The reason is simple, ninja? The kind that's not dead yet?
How do you say this?
It’s so beyond common sense!
If the outside world knows about it, they might think that their police department is mentally ill.
Therefore, the higher-ups asked Kai to make this matter more beautiful. To put it simply, the truth should not be announced, but the matter must be handled, and an explanation must be given to the public.
Kai almost cursed the director with his computer.
There are so many requests, how about you come?
Fortunately, at this time, the Rand Group was exposed.
Just right.
Let him take the blame.
There was a bit of hesitation from the top. After all, the Rand Group was really quite big, but after thinking about it, it was approved.
After all, there must be a responsible person to take the blame for this matter.
Rand Group is just right.
First of all, the Rand Group is not unjust at all. The bad things that have been discovered now are already shocking enough.
Money laundering, drug trafficking, assisting human trafficking, arms smuggling, etc. Even if there is no real evidence, it is almost the same.
Secondly, it’s substantial!
The only problem is... the RAND Corporation has money!
He took the current president of the Rand Group back to the police station, and then a team of more than a dozen well-known lawyers went to the police station.
Kai is troubled by these legal jackals.
This group of people almost described Ward Meacham as a living saint, a philanthropist, an animal protector, an environmental supporter, etc. The key point is that there is really no direct evidence on Kay's side to prove that Ward Meacham was involved in those things.
So Ward Meacham walked away swaggeringly two hours after being brought back to the police station.
"Tsk..." Although Kai was unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
It's not without reason that many police don't like to handle cases related to wealthy people. Most of these guys have a very strong team of lawyers behind them, and they are very difficult to deal with.
"Director!"
Just when Kai was thinking about how to deal with the Rand Group, Misty came in.
"There just was a gang shootout in Clinton District, and there were a lot of casualties!"
"Huh?" Kai looked over with wide eyes.
Even now, there are still gang members who are so unscrupulous? Tired of fighting in his jurisdiction?
Misty shrugged and said she didn't know.
"Anyway, the Metropolitan Hospital is already crazy busy right now."
"Come on, come and have a look with me. I want to see who is giving this face. Do you think our police have too few things recently?" Kai took out the gun from the drawer without saying a word and hung it on his waist. Just walk out the door.
I'm just upset, so I'm looking for these scumbags to play with, just to exercise and exercise!
