Chapter 138 New York is my territory
The storm caused by the "Giant Attack Incident" did not last long.
Thanks to the timely intervention of the new New York City Mayor Kal-El, the destruction and harm caused by the brutal and terrifying giants was promptly contained.
While people are praising Superman's great achievements, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also paid a heavy price for this, to be precise, the federal government behind it.
Link suddenly became the largest "creditor" of the entire federal government, and completely obtained the "jurisdiction/ownership rights" of a city.
New York, the largest modern city in the United States, covers a total area of 1,214 square kilometers and is divided into five major regions. It has a prosperous economy and a population of nearly nine million.
All along, the mayor of New York City has been nothing more than a puppet manipulated by the undercurrents of political promoters behind the scenes. Behind the scenes, the giant conglomerates and the various forces of the parliamentarians and parties are intertwined and entrenched.
If necessary, almost anyone can be qualified for this position, even a stupid pig, as long as he is obedient and able to sign.
But things are different now. The mayor of New York City is a "superman" who can overturn the entire negotiation table and has power beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Politicians can no longer use methods that would become a joke in the face of Superman to control a "monster" or god that they cannot check or balance at all.
But they can control other parts of New York City, urban traffic management, public security, medical care, tap water, electricity, natural gas, and a series of things that directly or indirectly control the city...
Politicians hope to sideline Superman and allow him to bear huge responsibilities, but they do not want him to truly hold power.
But what they didn't realize was that Link was not like the "Superman" described in those novels and comics who could only do great and selfless devotion.
In Link's eyes, "The greater the ability, the greater the power."
Link will refuse all things and requests that he does not want to do based on his own subjective consciousness.
And now, these idiots who are still ignorant hand the knife into Link's hand with their own hands, and give Link a suitable reason and excuse to get what he deserves.
Then don't blame Link for cutting the meat quickly and accurately.
Ever since he took up the position of mayor of New York City, Link has felt deeply bored.
Just as he is sitting in the office of the renovated Tri-curved Wing Building at this moment,
"It's so insincere,"
"You don't respect me enough, Nick Fury."
Faced with Nick Fury's proposal that the government allocate a billion dollars in "labor fees" as "remuneration" for this incident,
Link shook his head with some disdain, his still magnetic and rich voice echoed in the desk,
"I'm not interested in money,"
"In my eyes, these are no different from waste paper. The only difference from waste paper is that it is dirtier."
"So I can understand that you are insulting me?"
The atmosphere gradually began to stagnate. Almost everyone present could feel an inexplicable pressure, oppressing their hearts, making them almost breathless. The temperature in the space gradually increased,
A drop of sweat slowly trickled down Nick Fury's dark forehead, not because he was still wearing the patent leather coat.
Instead, Link's scarlet eyes gradually brightened, vaguely revealing evil intentions.
After a moment of silence, Nick Fury slowly spoke in a deep voice,
"what do you want?"
In the calmest tone, Link said the most shocking words,
"New York."
"But aren't you already the mayor of New York City..."
Nick Fury suddenly frowned, and he subconsciously spoke out, but soon he felt like there was a lump in his throat and could not speak.
He realized the deeper meaning of what Link was saying.
His mind was running fast, and Nick Fury wanted to use the art of words to do something about it.
"Mr. Karl, you know, this is not something I can decide..."
But before he could finish speaking, Link interrupted.
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you."
"From now on, New York is my territory."
Immediately afterwards, Link slowly turned his head and looked at the camera that had been pointed at the conference room with the indicator light flashing, and smiled kindly.
The deep scarlet eyes seemed to penetrate through the camera, and saw the guys hiding behind the darkness like dark mice,
"I hope you won't do something irrational that you will regret for the rest of your life."
Immediately, Link stood up from the office chair, ignoring Nick Fury's words to continue to stay.
"boom--"
The figure turned into an afterimage, smashed the floor-to-ceiling window glass, and disappeared into the skyline, leaving only a mess on the ground swept up by the strong wind.
Nick Fury stood up slowly from behind the overturned desk, his face gloomy as water.
Looking at Link's disappearing back, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and after a long time he sighed again,
"New York is going to change..."
He knows very well that those in power who are greedy for life and fear death, after knowing that they currently have no ability to check Superman,
Faced with this outrageous and humiliating request, I would definitely agree without hesitation.
Otherwise, who knows what day, the private plane on which we are traveling will suddenly "accidentally" crash, be on an island vacation, be spotted by a red light falling from the sky while doing some sneaky things, or hide in the deepest underground fortress, still unable to escape. Feel the slightest bit of security.
However, of course, it is not ruled out that they have a trace of delusion, hoping that by using an illusory "right of ownership" as a bargaining chip, or as a tool to limit and induce superhuman behavior,
But Nick Fury knows very well - it's just a dream!
But he doesn't expect those short-sighted fools to understand this truth.
The perspective changed, and Link, flying at high speed, was soaring over New York City.
At this moment, he is like a king, patrolling the territory that will soon belong to him. There are towering skyscrapers, traffic is surging, and it is prosperous and full of vitality.
But not long after, a rapid ringing of the phone interrupted his happy mood of watching.
After Link saw the name clearly displayed, he was slightly startled, and then he smiled in relief. Thinking that he might not have been in contact for a long time, he quickly pressed the connect button.
【Aunt Mei】
After the call was connected, a deep breathing sound came from the other end of the phone.
Even though it can be felt that the other party has suppressed his excitement as much as possible, he can still feel a trace of unspeakable expectations.
"Link, where are you?"
"I need you……"
