Chapter 103 Lin En: Now you know who I am?
Countless people were discussing this online, all eagerly awaiting the New York FBI's press conference to announce the matter!
Illuminati Base, Gwen's room.
After helping Lynn tidy his clothes, Gwen smiled, "Is the speech ready? Did Barbara write it for you again?"
Facing Gwen's question, Lynn patted her perky bottom, "What's a secretary for, if not to write speeches for me?"
"But you have to go home tonight, Gwen. It's been three days since the serious criminal incident ended, and you haven't been home. Aunt Helen's calls have been coming to me!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Gwen pouted, "I want to, but the problem is that even though all the serious criminals were caught, this incident still caused quite a bit of chaos."
"In just three days, New York experienced hundreds of zero-dollar shopping incidents, many stores were looted, and even the streets were full of thieves and robbers."
Listening to Gwen, Lynn lifted her chin and kissed her red lips, "Don't worry, these scoundrels who took advantage of the situation will all be severely punished this time!"
Base Hall.
"It's been three days, and the smell of blood still hasn't dissipated."
Tony Stark lightly sniffed the bloody scent in the air, then opened his armor and stepped out, saying, "Friday, is this cleaner not working well this time? Or is the werewolf blood impossible to clean? If it's not effective, change brands. After all, it's not good for the Illuminati to be filled with the smell of blood!"
"Sir, I believe this must be your psychological effect. According to the Detection, there is no residual blood smell in the air!"
Friday's voice fell, and Steve, who was beside him, also spoke, "I don't smell any blood either, Tony. Could there be something wrong with your body? Why don't you let Professor..."
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Steve about to suggest letting Professor Xexamine him, Tony Stark rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, even if he did an examination, Professor would be examining my brain, not my sense of smell or anything like that."
With that, Tony sat on the sofa and said, "Where's Lynn? Hasn't he been at the Illuminati these past few days?"
"He hasn't..."
Before Steve could finish, the two saw Lynn and Gwenwalking down from the third floor.
"Tsk, the whole World is waiting for your press conference, and you're here with your girlfriend?"
"If I were the Secretary of the Department of Justice, I would immediately remove you from your position as Director of the New York FBI branch!"
Seeing Tony "picking a fight" first thing in the morning, Lynn said, "Did Pepper not let you sleep in bed last night? Oh, no, that's not right. Given your age and physical condition, it should be: did Pepper force you to sleep in bed last night?"
Hearing Lynn say that, Tony Stark blushed slightly, then forcibly changed the subject, "How is Professor?"
"I'm fine!"
Sitting in a wheelchair and moving towards them, Professor X smiled, "It's just that for these past three days, I've been searching for Cassandra's whereabouts in this World!"
"Who is Cassandra?"
Hearing Professor X say that, Tony immediately became interested, "And, this World?"
"Cassandra Nova Weisman, my biological sister."
Looking at the equally curious crowd, Professor X said, "Three days ago, when the werewolves attacked the Illuminati Base, Cassandra communicated with me telepathically."
"It was then that I learned she was my sister from another Universe."
"She confirmed many things with me, and I also learned some news from her. After that, for these three days, I tried to find Cassandra in this Universe."
At this point, Professor X shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I couldn't find her. Perhaps Cassandra in this World was never born."
Hearing Professor X say that, Scott, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Professor, is there a possibility that Cassandra in this Universe has already been born, but her gender changed and she became your brother?"
Hearing Scott's guess, Professor X nodded.
And Tony Stark curiously asked, "Professor X, you have a brother?"
"It was many years ago!"
Looking at the curious gazes of the crowd, Professor Xexplained, "I do have a biological brother, but he has always been in a vegetative state."
"Many years ago, when Eric and I recruited Jean, she hadn't yet been able to control the Phoenix Force."
"As a result of an accident, the Phoenix Force suddenly erupted and completely crushed my body."
"It was then that my consciousness took over my brother's body."
Hearing Professor X's explanation, Tony exclaimed, "So, this body you're in now is your brother's?"
"You could say that!"
Nodding, Professor X looked at Lynn, "Lynn, although Cassandra didn't say it explicitly, she is very interested in you."
"So you need to be careful. I'm worried she might make a move against you!"
Hearing Professor X's warning, Lynn nodded, "I understand, Professor!"
With that, Lynn glanced at the time, then said to Tony and Steve, "Let's go, the press conference is about to begin. As the parties involved in this incident..."
"You two shouldn't expect to be idle either."
"Also, Jean, you represent the Illuminati and attend this press conference. I've already spoken to the media, and they won't ask any awkward questions!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Jean Grey nodded.
She understood that Lynn wanted her to appear before the U.S. media and public on behalf of the Illuminati and the X-Men to establish their image, as even though many X-Men members had joined the Illuminati, some people still strongly disliked Mutants.
Press Conference Site.
After stepping down from the stage, Lynn told Jean Greynot to be nervous, then returned to his seat.
"What are you at the FBI going to do for the aftermath?"
Watching Lynn return to his seat, Tony Stark, who was sitting beside him, asked Lynn.
"The aftermath work isn't handled by the FBI, after all, there are various departments in the City Hall."
Lynn looked at Jean Grey, who was speaking to the media on stage, and said, "Dr. Doom destroyed some buildings when he fought with Electro and Hulk. If Pepper's construction company wants to contract the reconstruction work..."
"Then I can talk to the Director of the Disaster Management Bureau. After all, if I hadn't arrested the previous Director, how could he have gotten his current position?"
"I told you, that construction company is Stark Industries... Never mind!"
Looking at Lynn's slightly disdainful gaze, Tony Starkspread his hands, "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
"No problem!"
Three days later, in a private room of a hotel.
"What do we do now, Mr. Hall? Mr. James Duke has already sent the young and ambitious factions from Boston, Houston, and other places to New York!"
Looking at Lynn, who was sitting on the sofa with an unchanged expression, New York's HYDRA mayor, Chris Bell, asked in a panic.
"Calm down!"
Looking at the worried Chris Bell, Lynn put down his wine glass and said, "They're just some young and ambitious members, why are you so flustered? Don't forget, you're currently the Mayor of New York City."
"Have you thrown away all your years of experience in politics?"
"Besides, Mr. James Duke also told me about this matter. Even if they come to New York, they have to obey my orders."
"Don't forget, New York is my territory now!"
Listening to Lynn's nonchalant demeanor, Chris Bellsmiled bitterly, "Mr. Hall, you might not know what kind of people the young and ambitious faction truly are!"
"So you know them very well?"
"Of course, because I was once one of the young and ambitious members!"
Seeing Lynn take out a cigarette, Chris Bell picked up a lighter from the table and lit it for Lynn.
"Mr. Hall, both my parents were members of HYDRA, and I grew up within HYDRA. Plus, I'm now the Mayor of New York City."
"So, logically speaking, even if I can't directly lead you, I should at least be able to stand on equal footing with you, right?"
"But now, both Mr. James Duke's orders and my own will are to willingly obey your commands."
"Do you know why?"
Looking at Chris Bell, Lynn said, "Continue."
Picking up a cigarette and lighting it for himself, Chris Bellsaid, "With great power comes great responsibility. If you don't have the ability, then honestly obey. This is a principle my father taught me since I was a child."
"For these thirty-seven years, I have always followed this principle, so whether Mr. James Duke personally led me, or after he left New York, I became your subordinate..."
"This is entirely because I have a very clear understanding of myself. My ability to become Mayor is all thanks to the help of Mr. James Duke and yourself."
"If I truly relied on my own abilities, I probably wouldn't even be able to become a council member!"
At this point, Chris Bell looked at Lynn and said, "But someone like me is already considered a rare elite among the young and ambitious faction. From this, you can see what kind of character the other young and ambitious members have."
"Mr. Hall, those guys' heads have been completely corrupted by power, money, and beauty. They have no real ability, yet they always put on an air of superiority."
"If they were in other cities, it would be fine, but this is New York, right under the noses of the Illuminati and the Avengers."
"Once their actions come to the attention of the Illuminati, the Avengers, and other superheroes, our HYDRA secrets will probably be fully exposed!"
Hearing Chris Bell's words, Lynn frowned, "Are they really that incompetent?"
"If you lower your impression of their incompetence by tenfold, that's what they're truly like!"
Seeing Chris Bell's genuine expression, Lynn nodded, "Are there no other capable individuals among the young and ambitious faction?"
"It's not that there aren't any. At least, to my knowledge, the most outstanding guy among the young and ambitious faction is currently by Mr. James Duke's side, receiving guidance."
"Those who are slightly less capable but still have some ability, like myself, are dispersed to various U.S. cities and then, with the organization's power, enter important departments such as politics, healthcare, and technology."
"And those who are even worse can only follow around a bunch of old guys whose teeth are almost falling out."
Looking at Lynn, Chris Bell sighed, "And this group of people who are coming to New York are completely useless!"
"So, Mr. Hall, we absolutely cannot let these useless people ruin everything we have in New York!"
Hearing Chris Bell's words, Lynn nodded, "I understand, I'll talk to Mr. James Duke!"
"Then I'll head back first, Mr. Hall."
Standing up and looking at Lynn, Chris Bell said, "If you find it difficult to explain to Mr. James Duke, or if the old guys within the organization are dissatisfied, then you can let me handle it."
"After all, as the purest HYDRA, I know how to deal with these old guys!"
Hearing Chris Bell say that, Lynn nodded.
After Chris Bell left, Lynn began to ponder.
Ninety percent of Chris Bell's words were true; Lynncould discern that.
As for the ten percent of falsehood, it wasn't that he was overly worried about the HYDRA organization being exposed.
Rather, he was concerned that if the identities of those useless people he mentioned were exposed, it would implicate him.
After all, he had finally managed to secure the position of Mayor of New York City with the help of HYDRA and himself.
How could he allow those useless people to drag him down?
After a moment of thought, Lynn took out his phone and called James Duke.
Lynn also had his own way of dealing with these "useless" people!
At the same time, inside a massive battleship in the Universe.
"You lost the Soul Scepter your Master bestowed upon you, and you failed to complete the command your Mastergave you, yet you still dare to return?"
Ebony Maw questioned Loki, who stood before him.
Looking at Ebony Maw, Loki spread his hands and chuckled, "Everyone fails sometimes; you can't simply deny my abilities because of one failure."
At this point, Loki stepped forward and said, "Besides, aren't you curious where I went during my disappearance? This time, I've brought extremely important news!"
A week later, at the airport.
Stepping off the plane, a man in a black suit blew a kiss to a woman he had just met.
When he saw the man in the white suit in the airport lobby, he walked over with a smile and said, "Long time no see, Derek, I didn't think you were still alive!"
"Toby, I thought you had died at the hands of those girls in Los Angeles!"
Saying that, the two men embraced, and then Derek said, "Toby, what do you think about Mr. James Duke wanting us to come to New York this time?"
In response to Derek's question, Toby shrugged, walking out of the airport lobby as he spoke, "What else is there to think?"
"Chris Bell is now the Mayor of New York City, and all the heads of important departments are our own people."
"Derek, New York is our territory now!"
Watching the proud expression on Toby's face, Derekshook his head and said, "That may be true, but even Chris Bell has to listen to Lynn Hall's commands, so we..."
"Lynn Hall?"
Looking at Derek, Toby sneered, "What is he? The only reason he could become the Director of the New York FBIand gain such fame is because Mr. James Duke promoted him, isn't it?"
"Don't forget, Derek, we were born into the organization, but him? A guy who joined halfway through doesn't deserve to lead us!"
"If he's sensible, we'll give him face. But if he's ignorant and truly tries to order us around, then..."
Hearing that Toby shared his thoughts, Derek also smiled and said, "Let's go, maybe Chris Bell has already prepared a welcome party for us!"
The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the airport lobby, but when they reached the outside, they didn't see the car Chris had sent to pick them up.
Toby was just frowning, preparing to pull out his phone to dial Chris Bell's number, when two burly men suddenly appeared behind them, holding guns to their waists.
"Don't move carelessly. If it accidentally goes off, you'll spend the rest of your lives in a wheelchair!"
The sudden abduction terrified them. Feeling the shape of the pistols pressed against their waists, cold sweat instantly broke out on both of them.
"Did you two get the wrong people? We just arrived in New York, we're not the ones you're looking for..."
"Stop your damn nonsense!"
Their phones were confiscated, and then they were forced into a black commercial van on the street.
"Get in quickly, or I'll blow your brains out!"
Understanding the burly man's threat, Chris and Tobyimmediately scrambled into the car in terror.
At the same time, on a private jet at the airport.
Stepping off the luxurious private jet, Leonard looked at the car waiting for him and walked towards it.
"Mr. Leonard, is that right? Mayor Chris sent me to pick you up!"
Hearing the driver's words, Leonard nodded and then directly sat in the back of the car.
Watching the driver start the car, Leonard said, "How is Chris Bell planning to arrange us?"
Facing Leonard's question, the driver ignored him, focusing intently on driving!
"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?"
Seeing that the driver still didn't answer, a bad feeling rose in Leonard's heart.
He tried to open the car door but found it was locked.
Leonard immediately took out his phone, preparing to call Chris Bell.
But very quickly, he discovered that his phone had absolutely no signal.
"There's a signal jammer in the car. All communication devices have been disabled since you got in!"
Hearing the driver say this, Leonard immediately frowned and said, "What exactly does Chris Bell want to do?"
Facing Leonard's questioning, the driver continued to drive without answering.
Seeing that the driver was ignoring him, Leonard instantly became agitated.
"I'm f*cking asking..."
Before he could finish his angry words, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, then pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head.
"If you dare to disturb my driving again, I'll blow your brains out, understood?"
Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at his head, the previously agitated Leonard immediately raised his hands and nodded.
"That's better, isn't it? You just had to force me to be rough."
Putting away the gun, the driver continued to drive towards their destination.
Several hours later, on an island surrounded by the sea.
"Get the hell down, everyone's waiting for you!"
Dragging several people off the helicopter, several soldiers then roughly pulled them by their collars to the center of the island.
"Toby, Derek?"
When Leonard saw Toby, whose face was bruised, and Derek, whose mouth still had blood on it, among the crowd.
Leonard, who was shoved into the middle of the crowd, immediately asked, "How are you here? Oh my God, Dick, Kwaiht, you've all been captured?"
Looking at the familiar faces all around him in the crowd, Leonard's eyes were filled with confusion.
Before they could even ask each other what had happened, dozens of men with submachine guns walked over and ordered them all to shut up.
Seeing these armed men, the previously noisy crowd immediately quieted down obediently.
A few minutes later, a helicopter slowly descended from the sky.
Then, these young faction members saw Lynn and Chris Bell step out of the helicopter.
The moment they saw the two of them, these guys immediately realized!
They weren't kidnapped; they were brought here by these two people!
"F*ck, Lynn Hall, Chris Bell, what the hell do you two want?"
"Damn it, hurry up and release us!"
"You two had better give us an explanation, or else..."
Looking at the chaotic crowd, one of the men with a submachine gun immediately raised his weapon and fired a burst!
As the gunshots rang out, the angry roars and accusations instantly vanished.
"Tsk, isn't that much quieter?"
Lynn said with a smile, looking at the now silent young faction members, then turned to a burly man and asked, "Are all the people here?"
"We have checked against the list one by one. There are absolutely no omissions from the forty-three people on the list, Mr. Hall!"
Hearing the burly man's words, Lynn nodded.
"Lynn, what exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing this scene, Chris Bell was completely dumbfounded.
He had told Lynn that the forty-odd young faction members sent by James Duke were useless, hoping Lynnwould find a way to drive them out of New York.
For this, he had even prepared to pay some price.
But he never expected Lynn Hall to order New YorkHYDRA members to capture these young faction members and bring them to this isolated island.
My God, what exactly does Lynn want to do?
Looking at Chris Bell's surprised expression.
Lynn smiled and said, "Mr. James Duke has temporarily sent me forty-three 'veterans', hoping I can teach them well, so I can only teach them how to become smarter."
Hearing Lynn say this, Chris Bell frowned and said, "You didn't have to bring them here, did you? It shouldn't be..."
Looking at the confused Chris Bell, Lynn smiled and said, "To make them smart, first they need to know who their BOSS is!"
Saying that, Lynn walked directly in front of the group.
"F*ck, damn Lynn Hall, what the hell do you want to do?"
Seeing Lynn step forward, Toby, whose face was bruised, could no longer hold back and immediately cursed, "Don't forget, you're just someone who joined the organization halfway through. You don't deserve to lead us at all!"
"Be sensible and release us, or else when I get back, I'll definitely tell Mr. James Duke everything you've done!"
Listening to Toby's angry roar, Lynn nodded, "Report me? You're welcome, but only if you can get back alive!"
Saying that, he gestured to the armed burly man beside him.
Seeing Lynn extend his hand, the burly man immediately handed the submachine gun to Lynn.
"Da da da"
Without hesitation, Lynn fired at Toby's legs. The next second, the bullets directly pierced Toby's legs.
"Ah!!!"
Toby, whose legs were shot through, immediately fell to the ground in pain, wailing. The other young faction members recoiled at the sight, each looking at Lynn Hallas if they had seen a ghost.
They simply couldn't imagine that Lynn Hall would dare to directly shoot Toby.
One must know, Toby was one of the most famous people in the young faction!
Holding the submachine gun, Lynn approached Toby. Looking at Toby, who was trembling all over from the intense pain, Lynn pulled his hair and said, "Open your mouth!"
Toby, whose hair was being pulled by Lynn, glared at Lynn with furious eyes.
Placing the muzzle of the submachine gun near his mouth, Lynn said in a "gentle" voice, "Be obedient, open your mouth."
"You—mmph... mmph mmph"
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Lynndirectly shoved the muzzle into his mouth.
"Da da da"
The sound of gunshots rang out once again; Toby's head was now shattered by the bullets.
Picking up the submachine gun from the ground, Lynnlooked at the young faction members and said, "Is there anyone else dissatisfied, who wants to go back?"
Seeing Lynn's smiling expression, these young faction members recoiled as if they had seen a devil.
As Lynn's gaze swept over them, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"Tsk, is that all? It seems the rumors are true; the young faction members in the organization are all a bunch of useless people!"
"Now, all of you get your asses running around this island! Anyone who dares to slack off, this guy I just killed will be your fate!"
"What the hell are you waiting for?"
As his voice fell, Lynn immediately raised his submachine gun and aimed at them.
Seeing Lynn raise the submachine gun, these young faction members, who usually lived pampered lives, immediately took off running, fearing that if they ran even a little late, they would be riddled with bullets by Lynn.
Turning his head, he gave a look to the HYDRA"instructors." The instructors chuckled, then picked up their submachine guns and followed.
"My God, Mr. Hall, how on Earth—!"
After everyone had run off, Chris Bell quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Hall, Toby was one of our own, no matter what. How could you just kill him?"
"Come on, Chris. When I asked you on the helicopter just now, didn't you say Toby had a lot of prestige among these people?"
Taking out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth, Lynnchuckled, "If I want to intimidate them and make them understand who the boss is, then of course I have to take out the guy with the most prestige!"
"Besides, didn't you already guess what I wanted to do?"
Watching Lynn with the cigarette in his mouth, Chris Bellsubconsciously took out a lighter and lit it for Lynn, "Mr. Hall, you're not trying to train them into qualified soldiers, are you?"
"How could that be?"
Lynn exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "It's just an obedience test. I want them to tremble at the mere mention of my name in the future. As for my orders, even if I tell them to kill each other, they wouldn't dare to disobey!"
"Chris, you grew up in HYDRA. Haven't you been exposed to this kind of training?"
"No…"
Facing Lynn's inquiry, Chris Bell shook his head, "The education I received from a young age was how to manipulate public opinion, how to use limited resources to gain more support, and thus how to go further in politics."
"Of course, some people are educated on how to do business, or how to cultivate their fascination with scientific research. HYDRA provides different education for each of their own children."
"However, because we lived in a privileged environment from a young age, and we are insiders, not outsiders to be brainwashed, so…"
Listening to Chris, Lynn nodded, "No wonder Mr. James Duke said that each generation is worse than the last. Even our FBI training process is more brutal than the education you received."
"No one else will die, Mr. Hall, after all, the parents of some HYDRA members are still alive. If you make too much of a fuss, it might be detrimental to you!"
"Do I care about them?"
Lynn chuckled indifferently, extinguishing his cigarette, "I can easily crush them, and similarly, I can easily crush those old guys who want to cause me trouble!"
"Besides, Mr. James Duke also said that out of forty-three people, if half, or even a fifth, can be trained, he'll be satisfied!"
Lynn didn't say what would happen to those who didn't make the cut, and similarly, Chris Bell didn't ask.
Hmm… Chris Bell understood that those who didn't make the cut would eventually return to where they came from!
More than half an hour later.
When a group of people ran back from the other side, panting and dragging their bodies, everyone slumped to the ground.
Having lived pampered lives, when had they ever experienced such high-intensity torment?
Not to mention, whenever their steps slowed down, a group of guys would open fire at their feet with submachine guns.
Damn it, they came to New York to do great things for HYDRA, not to undergo some crappy training.
So many people secretly made up their minds that after leaving this island, they would definitely report everything that damned Lynn Hall had done to the organization!
Watching the group run back, Lynn smiled and picked up a submachine gun, "Aren't you all very obedient now? But I still prefer how arrogant and questioning you were just now."
As his voice fell, Lynn unhesitatingly picked up the submachine gun and riddled the two people who were running last.
Seeing Lynn once again shoot them into sieves for no reason, everyone was startled.
Even Chris Bell quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Hall, you…"
"Just a bunch of trash. If they're incompetent, then they can just die on this island!"
Listening to Lynn's emotionless voice, all the young and strong members were terrified this time.
They realized that Lynn Hall truly dared to kill all of them!
Casually tossing the submachine gun to a nearby guard, Lynn looked at Chris Bell and said, "Are you staying here, or coming back with me?"
"Of course, I'm coming back with you!"
Looking at the miserable state of his former "partners," Chris Bell quickly followed Lynn's pace.
Inside the helicopter.
"Only three? Lynn, you're getting soft!"
Listening to James Duke's words on the video, Lynnchuckled, "After all, they are our own people. It's enough to let them know what to do in the future and whose orders to follow, otherwise, I'm worried those old guys will cause you trouble!"
Hearing Lynn say this, James Duke chuckled, "Don't worry, a bunch of old guys who have no power, what else can they do besides bark?"
"Do as you wish. Since I chose these forty-three people for you, then their lives are yours."
"As for the old guys behind them, I'll handle it!"
"Yes, Director!"
Beside them, listening to their conversation, Chris Bell felt a chill run through his body.
Fortunately, he had been a good child since he was young and had always followed his father's teachings.
Otherwise, he might have become one of those guys on the island today!
Thinking of this, Chris Bell said to Lynn, "Mr. Hall, are you not training them anymore?"
"Who has time to play house with them all day? Just keep their minds clear and pick some usable people, that's enough."
"I don't want to keep an eye on them all day. After the first phase is over, I plan to arrange some "new" jobs for them."
After speaking, Lynn leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The helicopter flew back to New York Harbor, and Lynndrove towards the Illuminati Base.
After Lynn left, Chris Bell returned to his car, took out his phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not make the call.
Time flew by, and it was now June.
In early June, inside a restaurant in Manhattan.
"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, we'll order more!"
Watching Mund eat with relish, Lynn smiled and poured him a glass of orange juice, "Didn't you eat well at Cassandra's?"
"It was alright, just a bit unaccustomed."
Facing Lynn's question, Mont looked up and replied obediently, "And to be honest, British food is really hard to eat!"
Hearing Mont say this, Lynn smiled and gestured for him to continue eating, "Mont, you're fourteen this year, right?"
"Mm!"
"Do you know Midtown High School?"
Hearing Lynn mention Midtown High School, Mont subconsciously looked up.
"I graduated from that high school. The school atmosphere is very relaxed, so if you want to study, I can arrange for you to get into this school."
At this point, Lynn said seriously, "Even if you are very strong now, at 14 years old, you should be studying and making friends."
"Maybe you can even find a girlfriend at that high school!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Mund was immediately tempted.
It wasn't because Lynn said he could find a girlfriend there that he was tempted, but because he had never attended school like other children.
He grew up in the Mutant Academy before, and knowledge was taught to him by Professor X and Jean.
Later, when that Universe was about to be destroyed, he used an instrument created by Mr. Fantastic to come to this Universe.
As a result, as soon as he arrived here, Mund was captured by the Time Variance Authority and imprisoned for five years.
Therefore, Mont was naturally very tempted by Lynn's offer that he could go to school like a normal child.
"This, I have to ask Big Sister."
Looking at Lynn apologetically, Mund said, "After all, Big Sister…"
"Wow, Lynn, are you abducting our little Mont again?"
Walking over from the side, Moira unceremoniously sat next to Mont and said to Lynn.
After speaking, Moira waved for a waiter to come over.
When the waiter arrived, Moira took the menu and was about to order some food, but suddenly looked up at Lynnand said, "You're paying?"
"Of course!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
Saying that, Moira directly ordered a large amount of food.
After the waiter left, Moira then said, "British food is simply not for humans. It's fried fish and chips every day, especially that 'stargazy pie' thing, oh my goodness, as soon as I see those fried fish with their eyes wide open, I lose my appetite!"
"By the way, what were you and Mont talking about just now?"
"I'm planning to send him to school."
Facing Moira's question, Lynn said, "Regardless of whether the Illuminati and Cassandra are opposing, Mont is still a child after all."
Hearing Lynn say this, Moira nodded, "Your idea is the same as mine. I also talked to Cassandra about Mont going to school."
"Mont at this age needs peers as friends, otherwise, even if Cassandra uses her abilities to let Mont acquire a lot of knowledge."
"But not having friends will ultimately affect his personality."
"It seems we've reached an agreement on this!"
After a laugh, Lynn suddenly asked, "I'm very curious, Moira, how did you and Cassandra end up together?"
"How should I put it? There's a very complex relationship involved."
Facing Lynn's question, Moira shrugged, "Actually, I don't want to be on the same side as her either, but sometimes I simply have no choice."
"It's like you, Mont is a staunch supporter of Cassandra, but you still have a good impression and care for this child, and hope he can walk on the right path?"
"Otherwise, according to your style of dealing with enemies, Mont would probably have become a corpse the second time he met you!"
"Mont is just a child!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Moira shrugged, then picked up her cutlery and began to eat the food in front of her.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. This afternoon, Tonyand Steve will be having a camping barbecue by the Hudson River. Mont will come with me. Moira, do you want to go?"
"Me?"
Eating pasta and looking at Lynn, Moira thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I'll pass. I'm not suitable to meet Jean. Otherwise, Jean's Phoenix Force will conflict with the power parasitic within me."
"Once that happens, the Earth might be torn apart instantly!"
By the Hudson River.
Seeing Lynn Hall and Mund get out of the car, Tony Stark, who was grilling meat at the barbecue stand, immediately said, "Wow, Lynn, you still managed to abduct this kid Mont?"
"Hello, Mr. Stark."
Looking at the joking Tony, Mont greeted him very obediently.
"Don't be so formal, kid."
Steve, who was nearby, walked over and patted Mont's shoulder, then handed Mont a bottle of juice.
"Thank you, Mr. Rogers!"
Mont thanked Steve as he took the juice from his hand.
Seeing Mont's restraint, Lynn waved to Jean Grey. When Jean walked over, Lynn handed Mont over to her.
Mont always felt a strong liking for Jean Grey.
Seeing Mont relax considerably by Jean's side, Stevehanded Lynn a can of beer and said, "You're very fond of this kid!"
Opening the beer and taking a sip, Lynn said, "After all, he's only 14 years old, and he possesses such powerful strength at a young age. If he can't be guided onto the right path, this World might be in danger."
"Besides, although I don't know what Cassandra wants to do by coming to our Universe, Mont trusts Cassandracompletely."
Well, the main thing is to gain favorability from Mont, after all, I've always been kind to people!
Chapter 104 Lin En: This is the price of offending me!
Hearing Lynn, Steve nodded: "Yes, children of this age need guidance, and fortunately he met you, otherwise..."
"Hey, Steve, Lynn, what are you two talking about? Don't even think about slacking off, can't you see so many ladies are still waiting to eat?"
Hearing Tony's shouts, Lynn and Steve exchanged glances, then walked towards the grill.
"Is it ready to eat?"
Gwen leaned in and draped her arm over Lynn's shoulder, asking, "Can we eat?" as she watched Lynn, sleeves rolled up, grilling.
Picking up the scissors, Lynn cut a piece of meat from the steak, and once it wasn't too hot, she put it into Gwen's mouth.
As the meat juices burst in her mouth, Gwen's eyes instantly lit up: "Mmm, it's delicious."
Hearing Gwen say it was delicious, Pepper, standing beside them, spun around in front of Tony, then shook her head helplessly.
"This isn't my fault!"
Looking at the blackened beef ribs on the grill, Tony Starkspread his hands and said, "The main reason is that this steak is too thick."
"Mmm-hmm!"
Hearing Tony say this, Thor, on the other side, nodded repeatedly.
"And there's the issue of the heat; maybe the charcoal I bought wasn't very good quality, so the temperature was going up and down!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Looking at Jane Foster, Thor argued, "You heard Tony say it, it's the beef and the charcoal's problem, absolutely not our technique's problem."
After speaking, Thor and Tony exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mutual appreciation.
Watching the two of them going back and forth, Steveshook his head, then said to Clint, "Good grilling."
"Your craftsmanship isn't bad either. If you don't want to pick up that shield anymore in the future, maybe you could even open a barbecue restaurant."
"Oh my goodness, Mr. Lynn, what do we do next?"
Peter Parker immediately cried out, seeing the charcoal actually catching fire because of too much grease.
"Leave it to me."
Harry, standing by, took the tools and smiled, "I thought your craftsmanship would be good!"
When all the barbecue was ready, everyone gathered around the long table.
Looking at the unevenly colored and blackened grilled meat on the plates, Tony and Thor exchanged glances.
"Lynn, I noticed you've lost weight recently. Come, eat more!"
Saying that, Tony Stark clamped a piece of blackened beef onto Lynn's plate.
"Exactly, exactly. As the leader of the Illuminati, if your body isn't well, how can you lead the Illuminati members to protect New York?"
Thor, standing by, also placed a piece of grilled meat, even blacker than charcoal, onto Lynn's plate.
Seeing that there was still so much meat ruined by the two of them, they immediately served Steve, Dr. Banner, and Clint as well.
"Thor, stay away from Tony in the future; he's corrupted you!"
Looking at the meat on his plate, which was so tough he couldn't even bite it, Clint shook his head helplessly. He was just about to subtly swap his plate with Natasha's.
But then he saw Natasha taking her plate and getting up to sit on Lynn's other side.
"Tsk, see, Yelena, this is the consequence of being too familiar and having too much tacit agreement."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Clint say this, Yelena, holding a wine glass, looked at him with a puzzled expression.
But when she lowered her head, she found Clint's plate had appeared in front of her at some point.
And her own plate had moved into Clint's hand.
Seeing her looking at him, Clint, that guy, actually turned his head away!
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Before Yelena could speak, everyone stood up with their wine glasses.
Seeing this, Yelena also had no choice but to pick up her wine glass, stand up, clink it with everyone else's, and then chug the beer.
The atmosphere of this barbecue party was exceptionally relaxed, with everyone unwinding and enjoying this rare afternoon.
During this time, Thor told jokes from Asgard that no one understood the punchlines of, and Steve's seventy-year-old jokes were even more awkward.
Sitting on the long bench, watching the lively scene once again, Steve looked at the calm Hudson River in front of him and said to Lynn, "Actually, I thought about this scene seventy years ago."
"Back then, I was really looking forward to having a celebration party with Peggy, Bucky, and Howard after the war ended."
"You know, dances were very popular back then, but unfortunately, before I became Captain America, no girl was willing to dance with me."
"After becoming Captain America, I didn't have time, and just when Peggy finally agreed to slowly teach me, I crashed my plane into a glacier."
At this point, Steve suddenly looked at Lynn and asked, "Can you dance?"
Hearing Steve's sudden question, Lynn looked at him "alertly": "Don't even think about me hugging you and dancing that kind of dance!"
"Haha..."
Shaking his head with a smile, after a moment, Stevelooked at Lynn and said, "I want to go visit Peggy now, but I'm not sure if she'll... when she sees me."
"If you want to go, then just go. Don't leave yourself with regrets!"
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"That would be best!"
Hearing Lynn say that, Steve said, "It's June now. I plan to visit her next March!"
"Why wait until March?"
Facing Lynn's confusion, Steve shook his head but did not answer.
"Hey, what are you two talking about?"
Tony Stark walked over with a beer and asked curiously, looking at the two men chatting.
In early July, Lynn was driving to the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.
"Boss, something's wrong! Shaun's been shot and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital!"
Hearing Alice's somewhat nervous voice on the other end of the phone, Lynn immediately turned towards the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lynn saw Shaun's wife looking worried outside the ward, and Alice with a face full of anger.
Lynn immediately walked up and asked, "How is Shaun?"
Seeing Lynn arrive, Alice immediately stepped forward and said, "He's still undergoing surgery, but the bullet only went through Shaun's shoulder, and he was brought to the hospital very promptly, so Shaun is not in life-threatening danger!"
Hearing Alice say that, Lynn felt a little relieved.
After Lynn comforted Shaun's wife for a few moments, she asked Alice, "What exactly happened?"
"Boss, Shaun was driving to the bureau this morning when his car had a minor collision with another vehicle. As soon as Shaun got out of his car, the person in the other car immediately opened fire on Shaun."
"If it wasn't for an NYPD patrol car happening to arrive at that moment, not giving the other party a chance to fire a second shot, I'm afraid Shaun..."
Hearing Alice say this, a hint of gloom flashed in Lynn's eyes: "So, this shooting was a deliberate assassination attempt on Shaun?"
"Have you identified the shooter? And who hired the shooter?"
"Still investigating!"
Facing Lynn's inquiry, Alice immediately said, "I rushed over as soon as I heard Shaun was shot, but I've already had Joey track it down. It won't be long before we find the culprit!"
As the two were speaking, the operating room light came on, and soon Shaun, still unconscious on the bed, was wheeled out by the Doctor.
Seeing Shaun being wheeled out, Lynn immediately stepped forward.
"Mr. Hall, Mr. Shaun is fine. He just needs some time to recuperate to fully recover."
Hearing the Doctor say that, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Saying that, the Doctor had Shaun moved to a private ward.
As the anesthetic gradually wore off, Shaun slowly regained consciousness.
When he saw his wife with red eyes crying at his bedside, Shaun subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to wipe away her tears.
"Don't move!"
Seeing her husband wake up, his wife quickly told him not to move.
"You still have the nerve to smile!"
Looking at Shaun grinning foolishly, Lynn cursed.
"Hehe, Boss, you worried about me. Don't worry, I'm not going to die. It's just a bullet bite, right? This injury isn't as serious as the time I dealt with the Lizard Man!"
Watching Shaun deliberately act carefree, Lynn rose from his chair and said, "Don't think about anything. Just rest up well during this time, consider it a vacation!"
Lynn didn't say anything more, but Shaun nodded.
Having followed the Boss for so many years, Shaun knew that the calmer the Boss was at such a moment, the angrier he was inside!
"Boss, don't make too big a fuss this time; it won't be good for your reputation!"
Seeing Lynn about to leave, Shaun immediately spoke up.
Not answering Lynn, Shaun just waved his hand.
Alice, however, glared at Shaun, then followed Lynn out.
Outside the hospital.
"Send the action team's brothers to guard outside the ward 24 hours a day until Shaun's matter is completely resolved!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lynn's command, Alice nodded: "Boss, what are you planning to do this time?"
Facing Alice's question, Lynn looked at her but did not answer.
But Alice immediately understood Lynn's meaning!
It seems New York is about to get lively again this time.
At the same time, in an apartment in New York.
"Aish, are you out of your mind?"
Looking at the second-in-command kneeling before him, the Incheon Association's boss kicked him to the ground: "That's the Deputy Director of the New York FBI!"
"And who in the entire New York gang World doesn't know that Shaun is Lynn Hall's most important assistant? You actually dared to shoot him? Is your head filled with shit?"
Listening to the boss constantly cursing him, the second-in-command, Kim Sang-hyun, was drenched in sweat.
"President, this isn't my fault. The person who ordered me to do this is someone our Incheon Association absolutely cannot afford to offend!"
Saying that, Kim Sang-hyun immediately crawled to the boss's feet, hugging his thigh and constantly pleading, "I only did this for the Incheon Association, otherwise our entire Incheon Association would be uprooted by the person behind the scenes!"
Looking at Kim Sang-hyun, who was clinging to his leg and begging, President Kim Ji-hoon sighed helplessly: "Aish, if your father wasn't my uncle, I'd really throw you out right now!"
"Tell me, who exactly ordered you to do this?"
"I can't say, President, I'm really sorry!"
"Aish!"
Watching Kim Sang-hyun kneel on the ground with his head down, Kim Ji-hoon cursed angrily: "If you weren't my brother, if it wasn't for your father... What the hell are you still doing here? Get into the safe house now, and don't come out until the coast is clear!"
Hearing Kim Ji-hoon's order, Kim Sang-hyun nodded repeatedly.
However, he still asked with some concern, "President, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"What else can I do? This time, our Incheon Associationwill definitely have to pay a large sum of money. Aish, it's all your fault, you damned bastard!"
Kim Ji-hoon kicked Kim Sang-hyun again, still not appeased, and told him to disappear from his sight immediately.
After Kim Sang-hyun left, Kim Ji-hoon took a deep breath, then pulled out his phone and made a call.
Inside the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"Boss, based on the information of the vehicle the assailant was driving, we found that the owner is Kim Sang-hyun, the second-in-command of the Incheon Association."
"And through the in-car footage captured by surveillance, we can confirm that he was the one who fired the shot!"
"Then we checked Kim Sang-hyun's account and found no unusual large sums of money entering his account recently."
"The intelligence team is still investigating people who have been in contact with Kim Sang-hyun recently!"
Lynn said coldly as he watched the screen where Jin Sang-hyun raised his gun and fired at Sean, "The Incheon Association, huh, a bunch of damn Koreans. Arrest him immediately!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lynn's order, Joey immediately nodded.
As soon as Joey left Lynn's office, Chris Bell's call came in.
After picking up the phone, Chris Bell said, "Mr. Hall, did the Incheon Association provoke you?"
Hearing Chris Bell's question, Lynn frowned and said, "Your source of information is quite fast!"
"Don't misunderstand, Mr. Hall, it's not that I have a special intelligence agency, but rather the chairman of the Incheon Association, Kim Ji-hui, called me and said there was a misunderstanding between the Incheon Association and you, so he asked me to mediate!"
"Misunderstanding? Mediate? Heh."
Lynn Hall exhaled a puff of smoke and sneered, "Alright, I'd like to see how this Kim Ji-hui plans to mediate this 'misunderstanding'!"
Half an hour later, inside the private room.
"How do you know Kim Ji-hui?"
Sitting in the private room, Lynn looked at Chris Bell, who was lighting his cigarette for him, and asked.
Facing Lynn's question, Chris Bell quickly said, "You know I climbed up step by step from being a councilman. When I first became a councilman, my constituency was the territory where the Incheon Association was located."
"At that time, he helped me a lot, so now that something has happened and he's asking for my help, I can't refuse!"
Hearing Chris Bell say that, Lynn chuckled softly, "It seems you've taken quite a bit of money from him!"
Looking at Lynn's indifferent attitude, Chris Bell did not hide anything and directly told Lynn a number.
As the two were talking, Kim Ji-hui knocked on the door of the private room.
After entering, Kim Ji-hui first greeted Chris Bell, and then quickly said to Lynn, "Mr. Hall, I sincerely apologize for this 'misunderstanding'."
"It was my lax discipline that led to this misunderstanding, and I am willing to apologize to you!"
Saying that, Kim Ji-hui immediately respectfully placed the box at Lynn's feet and opened it, revealing stacks of U.S. dollars inside!
Looking at the money in the briefcase and Kim Ji-hui, who was bowing and dared not get up.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Lynn said to Chris Bell, "It seems your face isn't worth much!"
As soon as Lynn's words fell, Chris Bell immediately got up and kicked Kim Ji-hui, "Fuxx, is this your sincerity?"
Seeing Chris Bell get angry, Kim Ji-hui quickly scrambled up from the ground, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Hall, this money is just the medical fee from our Incheon Association for Mr. Sean. After all, this gunshot wound caused Mr. Sean a lot of inconvenience, so…"
"What did you say? Gunshot wound? Someone from your Incheon Association shot and injured Sean?"
Chris Bell was stunned when he heard Kim Ji-hui say that the money was for Sean's medical expenses.
He had no idea that someone from the Incheon Association had actually shot and injured Sean!
When Kim Ji-hui called him this morning, he only said that there was some misunderstanding between the Incheon Association and Lynn Hall, and he hoped that he would act as a mediator.
And he also thought that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had found criminal evidence against the Incheon Association, so Kim Ji-hui hoped that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would let them off, which was why he came to him!
But this bastard didn't even mention that they had shot and injured Sean!
"Fuxx!"
After cursing Kim Ji-hui loudly, Chris Bell immediately turned to Lynn and said, "Mr. Hall, I really didn't know they shot and injured Sean, otherwise I wouldn't have been this middleman!"
Others might not know, but as the Mayor of New YorkCity, Chris Bell understood that Alice and Sean were Lynn's most trusted subordinates!
Even he, this HYDRA Mayor, probably didn't hold as high a position in Lynn's heart as Sean and Alice!
Looking at Chris Bell respectfully explaining to Lynn, Kim Ji-hui was suddenly a little confused.
He had thought that if he could invite the Mayor of New York City to pressure Lynn Hall, Lynn Hall, even if unwilling, would have to give the Mayor some face.
That's why he offered what he thought was reasonable compensation.
But now, seeing the high and mighty Mayor explaining so respectfully to Lynn.
Kim Ji-hui was instantly dumbfounded!
Aish, he had guessed wrong from the start!
Stepping on the briefcase, Lynn looked at Kim Ji-hui, who was still bent over and hadn't gotten up, and said, "I'll only ask you one thing: where is Jin Sang-hyun?"
"This…"
Hearing Lynn's question, Kim Ji-hui subconsciously looked at Chris Bell.
"Fuxx, when Mr. Hall asks you a question, answer immediately, or even I won't be able to protect you!"
Facing Chris Bell's reprimand, Kim Ji-hui hesitated for a few seconds, then respectfully replied, "Mr. Hall, I know Sang-hyun caused you trouble, but he is my uncle's only descendant. My uncle entrusted me to take care of him before he died, and I cannot break my promise!"
"This compensation is only for Mr. Sean's medical expenses. Please give me three days, and I will definitely gather a sum that will satisfy you!"
Looking at Kim Ji-hui, who was sweating but still struggling.
Chris Bell shook his head; he knew there was no room for redemption.
If he had been willing to offer compensation and hand over Jin Sang-hyun from the beginning, perhaps Lynnwould have spared his life.
But now, after today, the Incheon Association probably wouldn't exist anymore!
Indeed, just as he had expected, listening to Kim Ji-hui's reply, Lynn stood up and said, "You're the first to dare to bargain with me!"
After speaking, Lynn turned and left.
Watching Lynn leave, Kim Ji-hui immediately said, "Mayor Bell, do you think…"
Before he could finish, several people rushed into the private room, and Alice, leading them, fired two shots, directly breaking Kim Ji-hui's legs.
Looking at Kim Ji-hui, who was lying on the ground wailing in pain, Alice said to Chris Bell, "Mr. Mayor, the following scene will be a bit bloody. I've already had your driver wait for you outside!"
Hearing Alice say that, Chris Bell nodded.
He took one last look at the wailing Kim Ji-hui, then turned and left!
Watching Chris Bell leave, Alice waved her hand, and when Dennis came over, Alice pointed to the box on the ground and said, "This is the Incheon Association's medical fee for Sean. Give it to Sean!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Alice's order, Dennis picked up the box and walked out.
After the private room door closed, Alice looked at Kim Ji-hui, who was wailing on the ground, and sneered.
Although she didn't know how the Boss managed to make Chris Bell, the Mayor of New York City, so respectful to him.
But Alice, as Lynn's most trusted subordinate, knew that Lynn hated three types of people the most: black people, Koreans, and Japanese!
Now, this Korean's subordinate had injured Sean, so Alicedecided to have some fun with him!
Kim Ji-hui, who was originally clutching his legs and wailing in pain, was instantly terrified when he saw that the box Alice took out was filled with various knives!
"You… what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?"
Taking out a scalpel, Alice looked at Kim Ji-hui, her eyes cold: "You'll know very soon. Also, after today, your Incheon Association will no longer exist!"
As her voice fell, Alice grabbed Kim Ji-hui's head and pressed it onto the coffee table, slowly cutting down with the sharp scalpel in her hand!
"Ah!!!"
Listening to Kim Ji-hui's painful wails, the members of the action team in the private room acted as if they saw nothing.
Some thick-skinned guys even picked up watermelons from the table and started eating them.
Within the territory controlled by the Incheon Association.
"What on earth happened? Why has the gang been so tense since this morning?"
Standing on the street, a member of the Incheon Association frowned and asked.
"I don't know, but Senior, I heard that early this morning, Senior Sang-hyun went to see the chairman, and after the chairman scolded him, he told him to leave immediately, and the chairman also rushed off to find connections!"
Saying that, this subordinate actively took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for the other person.
After doing all this, the member continued, "Senior Hao-cheng, could it be that our Incheon Association is going to war with other gangs?"
Looking at the somewhat worried Han Ya-in, Li Hao-cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Aish, what are you so afraid of, kid? It's just some Americans, isn't it?"
"Don't forget, since 1992, we've had the good reputation of being 'Koreans on the rooftop'."
"So even if we go to war with those American gangs, you must never retreat a single step; you cannot let the good reputation established by those seniors in the past…"
Before he could finish speaking, several bullets instantly pierced Li Hao-cheng's chest.
Before the bewildered Han Ya-in could react, a group of Federal Bureau of Investigation agents immediately rushed forward and pinned him to the ground.
"Tell us, where is Jin Sang-hyun?"
Han Ya-in tried hard to pull his face away from the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent's boot, but seeing the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him, his whole body trembled.
Seeing Han Ya-in wet his pants out of fear, the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent looked at him disdainfully: "Tell me, where is Jin Sang-hyun?"
"I… I don't know…"
"Bang!"
Hearing Han Ya-in say he didn't know, the Federal Bureau of Investigation wasted no words and directly shot him in the head!
Inside an apartment building.
"The chairman still hasn't been contacted, Senior. Should we continue with the transaction with the Mexicans now?"
Facing his subordinate's question, the leader stood up and said, "This transaction is very important to our Incheon Association, so it cannot be delayed!"
"Since the chairman isn't here, then you guys come with me to do the transaction!"
After speaking, the leader picked up a bag of cash and walked out with his subordinates.
As soon as the few of them came out of the apartment, before they even reached the car, a group of fully armed Federal Bureau of Investigation agents rushed out and mercilessly pulled their triggers on them.
With a series of gunshots, in just a few seconds, the leader and his subordinates were all shot full of holes!
Within the Incheon Association gang stronghold.
"Aish, why is it so noisy outside? What group of bastards dares to cause trouble at our gang's entrance?"
Casually throwing the playing cards onto the table, this low-level thug had just gotten up and was about to go out to see when a bullet directly pierced his head.
The sudden gunfire immediately made the other gang members nervous, and they all pulled out their guns, ready to fight back.
But after several flashbangs were thrown in, gunfire rained down on them from all directions!
In just a few minutes, the entire Incheon Associationstronghold was riddled with bullet marks.
After the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents entered, they began to ask for Jin Sang-hyun's whereabouts from those who had lost the ability to move on the ground.
Whenever someone said they didn't know, the action team members would mercilessly kill them!
At the same time, within the Campano Family.
"You're saying that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has moved against the Incheon Association?"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Looking at the young master who had just taken over the position of head of the Campano Family, the butler respectfully replied, "In just one hour, the Incheon Association members suffered heavy losses."
"According to intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's objective this time is not to arrest, but to completely eliminate the Incheon Association!"
"Not only that, the Incheon Association's overt businesses and companies have also been subjected to investigations and blockades by various departments."
"Perhaps after today, the entire Incheon Association will disappear!"
Hearing the butler say this, Polinka Campano pondered for a moment: "Our Campano Family is closest to the Incheon Association's territory. If our Campano Familycan swallow up the Incheon Association's territory and take over their business…"
"Then our Campano Family will leap to become the head of New York's five major mafia families!"
At this point, Polinka Campano turned to the butler and said, "Immediately gather the family members here. Tell them I have something important to announce!"
"Understood, Young Master!"
After watching the butler leave, Polinka Campanoimmediately took out his phone and dialed Lynn's number.
As soon as the call connected, Polinka Campano said, "Mr. Hall, I apologize for disturbing you. I am Polinka Campano. I once had the great honor of meeting you."
"Yes, nothing can be hidden from you, Mr. Hall. I wonder if you…"
"Thank you very much for your permission, Mr. Hall. Our Campano Family is, of course, willing to serve you."
After hanging up the phone, Polinka Campano dialed another number: "Three days from now, a green diamond will be auctioned at the New York auction house. No matter how much others bid, you must bid at least thirty million U.S. dollars in my name to win that diamond!"
Inside the New York Federal Bureau of Investigation Building.
"I'll hand this green diamond over to the auction house now!"
Taking the unremarkable green diamond from Lynn's hand, Barbara said with a smile, "But Boss, you still have dozens of these diamonds in your drawer. Are you only auctioning one?"
"Let's just auction one for now. Even the mafia can't come up with more funds at once!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Barbara smiled and turned to leave.
As soon as Barbara left, Alice walked in from outside: "Boss, we successfully caught the guy who injured Sean, following the safe house KIm Jihwi told us about!"
Hearing Alice say this, Lynn stood up and said, "Let's go. Let's see who exactly has the audacity to command Kim Sanghyun to injure Sean!"
Inside the interrogation room.
At this moment, Kim Sanghyun was kneeling in the interrogation room, bruised and swollen, while the other members of the action team nearby looked at him with disgust.
When Lynn walked into the interrogation room, one of the action team members immediately handed him a tissue and said, "Boss, cover your nose. This good-for-nothing peed himself from fright!"
Taking the tissue and glancing at Kim Sanghyun with disdain, Lynn said with disgust, "Who instructed you to shoot Sean? You'd best confess honestly, or I'll cut off your fingers one by one!"
"Also, don't think Kim Jihwi will save you. He and the Incheon Association have already gone to hell for your stupidity!"
Hearing Lynn say this, Kim Sanghyun, who had been trembling all over but still gritting his teeth, now deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing directly onto the ground.
"Last thirty seconds. I don't have that much patience to waste on you!"
Lynn said sternly, looking at Kim Sanghyun, who was like a puddle of mud!
In the evening, inside a private room at a hotel in New York.
Watching the Campano Family's mafia members Encirclement and suppression the remaining forces of the Incheon Association below.
Chris Bell stood beside Lynn and said, "Mr. Hall, this must be the last batch of Incheon Association members, right!"
Facing Chris's question, Lynn threw him a cigarette and said, "Since I said I would completely eliminate the Incheon Association, I will definitely not let anyone go!"
"Sometimes, these gang members are more useful than the Federal Bureau of Investigation!"
"Chris, your mindset should also change. You are now the Mayor of New York, no longer that new politician who had to curry favor with others, or even sharpen pencils for them!"
"If you want to reach a higher position, then your mindset should change!"
Listening to Lynn's teachings, Chris Bell nodded.
Although he was more than ten years older than Lynn, he still considered himself a small fry.
"By the way, you grew up in HYDRA. You should know Colif Hopkins, right!"
Facing Lynn's question, Chris Bell took out a lighter, lit Lynn's cigarette, and then nodded, "Before HYDRA split, that is, before the AIM fuse incident, Colif Hopkins was once a member of the HYDRA Council of Elders."
"At that time, he was fully responsible for HYDRA's forces within Germany, but as AIM broke away from HYDRAand HYDRA internally split again, Colif Hopkins's power gradually weakened."
"As he aged, and his health wasn't good, he chose to go to Miami to recuperate, mainly because he put all his energy into raising his two sons."
At this point, Chris Bell lit his own cigarette: "His eldest son was once the most outstanding guy among the Young Faction, but unfortunately, he died in Eastern Europeseven years ago in a plane crash."
"As for the younger son, Mr. Hall, Toby, whom you killed on that island, is his younger son!"
Hearing Bell say this, Lynn nodded.
"Mr. Hall, is Colif Hopkins the mastermind who instructed Kim Sanghyun to shoot Sean?"
"That's right, it's him!"
With that, Lynn snapped his fingers, and soon a person entered, pushing Derek, whose face was bruised and swollen.
Seeing Derek trembling all over when facing Lynn, but still gritting his teeth and remaining silent, the strong man behind him kicked him in the back of his knee.
With a thud, Derek directly knelt on the ground, while Chris Bell frowned and said, "Derek, were you the one who told Colif Hopkins about Toby's death?"
Facing Chris Bell's question, Derek's body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask for help.
But looking at Lynn's cold eyes, Derek could only lower his head and remain silent.
"Tsk, as a member of the Young Faction, I'm truly ashamed of you! Derek, it's fine if you act like a good-for-nothing on a daily basis."
"But even now, you can't see clearly that those once impressive old guys have lost their power, can you?"
"I even thought the few months of training Mr. Hallarranged for you would be enough to clear your heads. Tsk tsk…"
At this point, Chris Bell took out a cigarette, put it in Derek's mouth, and then lit it for him: "This is the last cigarette of your life. Enjoy it well!"
Hearing Chris Bell say this, Derek trembled all over, and tears streamed down his face.
Seeing this, Chris Bell shook his head, then said to Lynn, "Mr. Hall, do you need me to deal with him?"
"No need for such trouble!"
With that, Lynn gave the strong man behind him a look.
After seeing Lynn's gaze, the strong man picked up Derekand threw him out the window without hesitation.
Outside, the Campano Family members, who had just finished dealing with the Incheon Association's scum, were startled by Derek suddenly falling down.
A few guys were about to raise their submachine guns to aim upwards but were reprimanded by the one in charge.
Looking up at Lynn standing by the window, the mafia leader bowed slightly in respect, then picked up a submachine gun and riddled Derek like a sieve!
After doing all this, the mafia member nodded again to Lynn in thanks, then immediately left with his subordinates.
"I have to say, these mafia guys are quite well-behaved."
Watching the mafia family members leave, Chris Bell said to Lynn, "But there's one thing I don't understand, Mr. Hall."
"Since you killed Colif Hopkins's only son, why didn't he directly retaliate against you, but instead targeted Sean?"
"Because he didn't dare!"
Looking at Chris Bell, Lynn smiled calmly, "He knew what kind of person his younger son, Toby, was, so he placed all his hopes on his grandson."
"It's not just him; in fact, most of the old guys in HYDRAare like this. They know the Young Faction is unreliable; even if HYDRA ruled the World, the Young Faction wouldn't be able to support HYDRA."
"So the Young Faction was abandoned, and the Immature Faction was given special attention. According to my investigation, Colif Hopkins's grandson is currently studying at Columbia University."
"He is the most prestigious and most valued by Colif among the Immature Faction!"
Hearing Lynn's explanation, Chris Bell suddenly understood: "I see. After Colif Hopkins saw that Toby was unpromising, he poured all his efforts into his grandson."
"His grandson also lived up to his expectations, but at this time, Toby died at your hands."
"He knows your strength and your influence in New York, so he doesn't dare to deal with you, but he can't swallow this anger, so he can only target Sean."
"This way, even if Sean is killed, you can't seek revenge on him, after all, his identity is there, and he didn't touch you or your family."
At this point, Chris Bell clicked his tongue and said, "He's really a clever old guy!"
"Clever? Heh!"
Crushing the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Lynn Hallsaid calmly, "If he were truly clever, he would bury his hatred for me in his heart, instead of launching what he considers an insignificant retaliation!"
"You mean, Mr. Hall, if you were to act, it might cause…"
"Do you think I care?"
Looking at the somewhat surprised Chris Bell, Lynn said, "If I can't even protect my own people, then I don't deserve to stand here!"
"Chris, you are also my person now!"
The next morning, outside the Columbia Universitycampus.
"Lillian, see you later!"
After greeting the girl who had a crush on him, Pelinka Hopkins smiled and walked out of the campus.
