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 manipulated Jessica into signing a plea agreement. Matt admitted that Jessica had committed a crime. After all, the police station was destroyed. This was not considered a crime, so it was really unreasonable. But Matt himself is a lawyer. If he wants to litigate, he is sure to start with Jessica's mental state and convince the jury to let Jessica pay compensation and participate in community labor.
Of course Matt would protest. He felt that Jessica was forced to sign the agreement in the absence of a lawyer.
Don't say that Matt knows the law and breaks the law, but that Matt has deeper considerations and puts Jessica in jail. Let's not mention whether Jessica will resist or escape from prison. Just saying that if a powerful fighter like Jessica were outside, how many evils could be fought against.
Matt has his own set of logic as to which is more important.
In the face of Matt's protest, Kai did not come forward. He was very busy. Instead, let the police take Matt to see Jessica.
To Matt's surprise, Jessica said she was willing to go to jail, pay the money and all...without even thinking about it!
Jessica then hinted to Matt that she was willing to go to jail because of Batman's wishes.
This time Matt had no choice.
Now that Batman has said so, what can Matt do?
Matt can still believe in Batman's character. After all, in Matt's view, Batman is a person who adheres to his principles more than him. When he faced those ninjas, he couldn't help but have murderous intentions, but Batman still remained the same and insisted on the principle of not killing.
…
As mentioned earlier, Kai is busy. What is he busy with?
Busy looking for someone!
Kingpin!
After capturing Kilgrave that day, the guy finally explained why he ran to New York under Kay's forced confession.
Kai didn't expect that this guy could actually be related to Kingpin!
When he revealed that he was hired by Jin Bin. Kai didn't even react.
Because this name is too old!
It's been so long that Kai almost forgot about this person. It's like this on the road, with red tops and whites, and gold covering the sky with one hand. Naturally, you can hear this name wherever you go. But it's not like Jin has disappeared. Even if he only disappeared for a few months, what kind of ecological environment is the gangster? Don't look at the many big gangs, which have a long history, but they are a minority after all. In the real gang ecology, those who really occupy the mainstream are those gangsters who have risen and fallen.
Damn it, there is no tomorrow, and the update speed is really fast.
So after a period of time, almost no one paid attention to Jin Bin. No matter how famous he was, it was useless. He was already a thing of the past. Now everyone is eyeing the title he left behind as the King of New York. 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. After that, Kai stopped paying attention. After all, he is very busy.
As a result, Jin Bin's name suddenly appeared again.
Through Kilgrave, Kay learned that Kingpin seemed to have left New York, but in fact, the King of New York never left his territory. He still controlled the huge power of the New York underground world. And they continue to stir up trouble in the dark.
Of course, this was Kilgrave's guess, and he thought it was impossible for King to really stay honest.
Kay was naturally interested in Kingpin, but unfortunately Kilgrave didn't know much. He didn't know where Kingpin was, and he hadn't even seen Kingpin.
Although it is a bit regretful, Kai is not without gain.
In order to keep an eye on Kilgrave, Kingpin used a lot of people. And Kilgrave knew exactly the news about these people.
This can be regarded as Kilgrave's final contribution.
Kai is doing it now!
Although he doesn’t know what Kingpin is going to do, this does not prevent Kai from taking action against Kingpin’s forces! The case of assaulting the police is not over yet!
…
Just when Jessica was about to cry behind bars, Kai was leading a large-scale annihilation of Kingpin's men!
First the Russians of Vladimir Brothers!
These people are actually quite easy to deal with. Their main members are all hiding together now. With Kilgrave's information, it is not easy to catch them all. However, the two brothers who were the main criminals ran away. They failed to be caught. The two brothers were very thieves. After Susie raided their hiding place that day, the two Russians ran away without even taking their henchmen with them.
But it doesn't matter, Kai's target is not them, but Kingpin!
Just as the police were attacking the forces left by Kingpin everywhere, Kingpin also responded.
In a commercial building in Manhattan, a white man in a suit, elegant appearance, and gold-rimmed glasses dialed the phone with a stern face: "Boss, something happened."
"What's going on?" A deep, deep male voice sounded.
"Kilgrave is dead. The power of the Vladimir brothers was wiped out by the police. The two brothers ran away. The police seemed to have received some information from Kilgrave or the Vladimir brothers. Now the police have begun to encircle us. The trap laid in New York caused us great losses." This white man with gold-rimmed glasses was James Wesley, Kingpin's right-hand man. But the look on his face at this moment was that of a different person.
"WTF!" The other end of the phone suddenly cursed, but soon fell silent again, with only heavy and rapid breathing coming from the receiver.
James had a wry smile on his face and waited quietly. He knew this would be the result.
"What's going on?" came the expected question from the other end of the phone. "I want to know everything! I can't miss anything!"
"That's what I'm here for." James had already investigated it, otherwise he might not have had the guts to make this call. "Everything originally went according to plan. The police have already wanted Black Mask, but..."
"Is it Kilgrave?" Kingpin could even imagine that the problem with the plan was definitely because of Kilgrave.
"Hmm..." James is also a bunch of drafters in his mind. The plan is very simple and not complicated at all. It is to let Kilgrave use his ability to ruin Daredevil's reputation, and use the police and public opinion to compress Daredevil's living space. , finally find Daredevil and manipulate him or kill him!
It stands to reason that accidents are unlikely to occur in this kind of plan.
But something happened unexpectedly. How can this be justified?
"I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Kilgrave suddenly ran to attack the police of the 15th Precinct, and then he was arrested by the director of the 15th Precinct. Then he died. According to our information in the 15th Precinct, The news from the inside is that the director played a trick and made Kilgrave commit suicide..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before continuing: "Are you sure it's Kilgrave?"
Kilgrave was a very useful chess piece for Kingpin, and he also played a considerable role in Kingpin's future plans. But now...
"It's him, I won't admit it." James confirmed the answer.
There was longer silence on the other end of the phone this time. After a few minutes, the person over there said: "We can't lose those key members anymore. Let the regional leaders temporarily stop their activities and hide themselves, and transfer the transactions to external members. In addition, you find someone to kill... "
Having said this, Kingpin took a few deep breaths before changing his tone: "Go and find out how much that Kai knows."
At that moment, Kingpin really wanted to kill Kai, but reason still pulled him back from his anger. Now is not the time!
"Okay, boss."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few more seconds before Kingpin said: "Wesley, you should also be more vigilant and don't come forward in person for these matters."
James: "I understand, boss."
After hanging up the phone, James let out a long breath: "How could I not come forward?"
In the current situation, if he doesn't solve the problem as soon as possible, those partners in New York are likely to lose control and pocket a lot of benefits. You know, Leland and Hand are already complaining about the Kingpin meeting.
He had to find the right people to take down that damn Daredevil and his newly formed gang.
With this in mind, James thought of Kilgrave again, and couldn't help but feel depressed: How could this guy Kilgrave be dead? Without Kilgrave, the boss's plan would have big problems.
This idiot, perverted imbecile, why did Mao suddenly go crazy and run to the police to find trouble? We even met Kai!
The complaints don't change anything, so James shakes off the sentiment right away. He must resolve the matter at hand as soon as possible. Mrs. Gao is already impatient!
Helper, where is it so easy to find?
Even the Continental Hotel is closed now.
Wait, the Continental... killer.
James immediately thought of a group of killers.
"Mutual Aid Association..."
Even if the Continental Hotel existed, James would not go to the Continental Hotel. After all, there was naked hatred between them. And ordinary killers can't deal with those masked men with extraordinary strength. But you can help each other!
After all, these people are not ordinary people!
…
Jin Bin's contractionary policy was quickly implemented, Jin Bin's power was hidden deeper, and Kai didn't gain much for a while. From an organizational level, these people are really not ordinary street gangsters.
So in the next period of time, the entire underground forces in New York were more or less implicated, which caused the New York police to become more vocal.
The crime rate has also dropped a lot. The key is that there are a lot less dead people, especially in Hell's Kitchen, where the crime rate has dropped by at least 20 percentage points compared to the same quarter in previous years!
Don’t underestimate this 20 percentage point rate. You must know that according to statistics from Hell’s Kitchen in recent years, this trend is on the rise! This is the first time that a decline has been achieved in a quarter! This alone is enough for the mayor to be ecstatic.
The crime rate in New York has always been a persistent problem. It has basically been stable year after year and has not declined at all.
It’s actually been a hell this year!
This is a solid political achievement! Definitely enough for the mayor to brag about in the media.
I don’t know if it was because of this political achievement that the mayor got the upper hand. He actually shouted in front of the media: “Hell’s Kitchen must be completely transformed! Let it return to its original name, Clinton District!”
This is no joke!
The problems in Hell's Kitchen have been going on for nearly fifty years, and successive New York City mayors have tried to change it, but all failed.
You know, Hell's Kitchen is in Manhattan, next door to it is Broadway, and right next to the Hudson River!
The location is really not that good.
If it can be developed there, it will be a real political achievement!
But for fifty years, Hell's Kitchen is still the same Hell's Kitchen, unchanged at all. In fact, the solution to Hell's Kitchen has always been there. It is nothing more than continued investment to bring about rapid development. Real estate values and rents will naturally increase significantly. Under such circumstances, the ongoing 'gentrification' problem has caused many people who originally lived in this area to residents were forced to move out because they could no longer afford the rising cost of living.
Unfortunately, it’s useless! Gangsters are entrenched here. If you want to develop this place, the price you need to pay is too high. No one will be stupid enough to invest such a large amount of money.
Fortunately, because it has been fifty years, everyone has become immune to such remarks. Everyone thinks that the mayor is just repeating the boasts 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 office by the mayor. At the same time, Pepper and Natalie were also in the office...
…
"So... you just agreed to the mayor's request?" More than an hour later, Kai and the two beauties were sitting together in a coffee shop chatting.
"Mr. Mayor gave us a bargaining chip, why didn't you agree?" Pepper held the coffee with a matter-of-fact expression.
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!
A development group invested by the Stark Group will officially settle in Hell's Kitchen. The city government will give the greatest discount. For example, the docks in Hell's Kitchen will be allocated to the Stark Group. At the same time, on public land, the city government will also Preferential treatment will be given.
And Stark Group needs to locate a high-tech development zone under its group in Hell's Kitchen!
Of course, this is an open deal. If it were just this, it would not impress the 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 were just this report, I believe no normal person at the top of the Stark Group would agree to it.
Therefore, the mayor promised that in the next year, new energy policies will be implemented. All new energy sources will enjoy corresponding subsidies, and within this year, all government department circuits will be integrated into Stark Energy. Group’s power grid.
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 a long time ago, but the old energy industry in the United States has a very strong influence. Secondly, the new energy industry was indeed very popular before Stark, so most of the time , the government is always shouting slogans. The investment and support for new energy has never been too much.
But with Stark New Energy coming online, everything changed.
At this stage, the domestic debate between new energy and old energy is very fierce, and politicians are divided into two factions.
New York is a very cosmopolitan city that always likes to be ahead of the trends, so it is naturally very receptive to new energy. Therefore, the chance of the mayor's new energy policy passing is very high. More importantly, if the mayor implements new energy policies, it means taking political sides. The influence of New York City is absolutely unquestionable.
The mayor of New York's public stance is definitely great news for the federal new energy faction.
The interests involved are huge.
In comparison, the investment in Hell's Kitchen is nothing.
Moreover, the mayor's attitude was very obvious when he called Kai over.
That is to have Kai guarantee Stark's investment in Hell's Kitchen!
"Do you know how bad the situation in Hell's Kitchen is? It seems a lot better at this stage, but who knows how long it can last?"
"Isn't this why the mayor asked you to come?" Natalie looked like I was proud of you. I don’t know, but it also means that Natalie is really Kai’s sweetheart.
Pepper didn't know Natalie's true identity because Tony was afraid of scaring her, and having such an agent with Pepper was also a safety net. So Pepper always thought Natalie was really interested in Kai, and she always hoped to bring them together.
"Don't forget! You also have shares in Stark Group."
