Chapter 54 "The Windfall" (54) Quarrel
Chapter 54 "Windfall" (54) Quarrel
The clown said to the crying Anna:
"Pretty girl, it's useless no matter how hard you cry. What your man did is so unethical! He killed someone from someone's gang and took away the money. If they don't settle the score with him, who should they look for?
"
The black cat cursed: "Fuck you! Stop saying a few words!"
"Hey, little kitten, I advise you to stay away from these evil stars, so as not to get into trouble!"
Judging from the expressions, quite a few people in the conference hall acquiesced to the clown's statement and pointed at the pair of fateful mandarin ducks. This made the black cat furious. She was not afraid of death, but she couldn't bear the loss of her colleagues' courage.
The ape-man stood up suddenly and put his head on the ceiling: "Have you forgotten... the promise you made?"
The powerful voice echoed, and the conference hall quickly became quiet.
"York City needs us, and the people need us! If we don't even stand up, then the world is not over yet!"
"Boss, you can't say that. We masked vigilantes are only responsible for saving innocent victims, but he is different."
The ‘Weasel’, who is slender and good at using nunchucks, said:
"This guy is greedy for ill-gotten gains and has made himself smelly."
Black Cat roared in retort: "But now he is receiving death threats, from the big cancer in this city, the most vicious Hessian family, why don't we just watch and not save him?"
"You really have a holy mother's heart, Black Cat." The 'Black Bat', who is physically strong and good at fighting skills, said:
"This city is crowded with hundreds of millions of people, most of whom are weak and unable to resist. In the words of our neighborhood pastor, evil is so pervasive that even God is helpless.
We are not gods, we are just a group of masked knights with mortal bodies, and we cannot save everyone."
Some people agreed with his statement that they should do their best and tolerate it for the time being. Most people objected and believed that they had violated their oath, and the two sides quarreled again.
The groundhog signaled both parties to calm down: "This matter is different from the past. Friends, big companies have extended their greedy hands to the city council. Their ambitions and desires are endless. If they don't resist, even
It's hard to even take a breath.
We have to do something, and we don’t know where to start, so let’s start with small things, starting with saving this young couple. Let the citizens see our efforts, and let everyone know that the just people are not dead yet.
, we must not let the mayoral election become a stage for corporate competition."
The clown heard something was wrong and interrupted him loudly: "Wait... what do you mean... you want to interfere in the mayoral election?"
"We cannot sit back and wait for death. When a certain company monopolizes the city council, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm of exclusion of dissidents. By then, York City will become a slaughterhouse and a flaming hell. We should try our best to prevent this situation from happening.
.”
"Haha, it's really funny. With just a few of our brothers, we still want to face a giant company? What do you want? An ant bites an elephant, and you are seeking death! Marmot, you are simply crazy.
!”
"If he is crazy, then I am even more crazy." the ape-man said calmly.
"Why..." The clown's eyes widened: "Boss, do you also support his idea?"
"I will do my best to intervene in the mayoral election and never let big companies monopolize the city of York, no matter what the price."
"Boss, you have said it yourself, you must act rationally, but what you just said is like a child venting his grievances."
"Children have true temperament. Once they reach adulthood, they become hypocritical. There is nothing wrong with being rational, but if you are too rational, you will be timid and afraid of getting into trouble. You will compromise and tolerate, and you will end up with nothing."
Seeing the ape-man's determination, the clown turned his attention to the others:
"This city is rotten to the core. It's hopeless! Understand! Don't be stupid, brothers and sisters. Our blood and sweat can only bring tears of regret. It's better to stop. It's better to die than to live.
"
A considerable number of people support his view. After all, most street vigilantes only want to deal with trivial crimes in the neighborhood. Once life-related matters are involved, they will inevitably shrink back.
Syndra the ape made a statement: "I have made my decision. The York City Avengers will uphold justice at all costs! We will do our best to maintain the fairness and justice of the mayoral election!
We are all free, mature adults, and everyone has the right to decide their own destiny. Who wants to leave? The door is open, so we can get together and part ways!"
There was an explosion in the venue. People gathered together in twos and threes to argue. Five minutes later,
Most of the masked vigilantes, including the black cat, the cannon, and the groundhog, stood up, put their palms on their hearts, and saluted the ape-man: "Boss! We are willing to fight to the end!"
"Hey!" The clown sighed: "In that case, I wish you good luck. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. It's time to say goodbye."
There were about ten people in the opposition group headed by the clown, black bat, and weasel. They walked to the door of the conference room. The clown said to the ape-man:
"Boss, although we have different ideas and have been quarreling and bickering, one thing is unquestionable. You are the superhero of this city. I will always respect you. Goodbye, take care!"
More than ten people walked out at once, and the room became much deserted, and the atmosphere was awkward to the point of freezing.
"A bunch of cowards! Get out!" Black Cat cursed angrily.
The groundhog advised: "Don't say that. You can't blame the clowns. They can distinguish right from wrong. They are just scared and tired and want to take off their burdens and return to normal life. This is a bad thing and a good thing. Stay.
They are all determined people.”
"It makes sense, lest anyone disturb the morale of the army while working!" Black Cat patted Anna's shoulder and said:
"I'm sorry for causing you to see such an unpleasant scene."
Anna shook her head vigorously: "It's us who should apologize...our first visit caused everyone to quarrel."
Roy looked up at the ape-man, not only from his height, but also from his mind:
"Thank you... for being willing to help us..."
He was so ashamed that his voice was as low as a mosquito. He only cared about his small family and business, while the other party cared about all living beings. In front of this upright city hero, Roy was just a petty citizen who was greedy for petty profits.
The groundhog said: "I'm here to show you a way to survive, but it's still full of difficulties and dangers."
"Appreciate further details."
"Based on the current intelligence, the Hessian family suspects that you are a street samurai of the Kyokushin group, which is why they have not taken action yet. Let's just go with the flow and put on a good show.
I will release the news and let the leader of the Kyokushin Group, Yamaguchi Kinjiro, know about the existence of the chip.
The battleship main control chip is exactly what Matsushita Jubei, the CEO of Sakura Co., Ltd., the boss behind the Kyokushin Group, wants. This old guy has always wanted to build his own interstellar fleet to consolidate alien colonial trade, and he will definitely send out eagle dogs.
Participate in the battle for chips.
As for you, as the only insider of the chip's whereabouts, you will definitely become the focus of contention between the two parties.
You use this identity to mediate, causing them to fight with each other and survive in the cracks, while we help from the side. This is the best way I can think of."
Roy and Anna were confused by what they heard, and while they were still in a daze, the black cat beside them started laughing loudly:
"Wonderful!
Raccoon Trading Group vs. Sakura Co., Ltd.,
The Hessian Family vs. the Kyokushin Group,
Cyber mercenaries vs street samurai,
Let these sons of bitches fight to the death!
It’s so satisfying just thinking about it!”
