Chapter 50: Chapter 50: 50 million
"I really don't know."
Facing George's gaze questioning, Kevin shrugged and told the truth. God knows why those vampires were chasing him for no reason.
"What about Gwen? Where is she now?"
"Gwen? Don't worry, I've already sent her back home." Kevin assured him, and then he came up to him and said familiarly, "Should we follow the procedure next and take me back to the police station for questioning? After all, thousands of people have died... infected by mutants."
As he spoke, Kevin looked around. The blood-stained ground was dotted with scattered corpses, and there were damaged buildings everywhere. It would definitely cost a huge amount of money to renovate the buildings.
"No need, you can go back directly. I will summon you if there is anything else." George said.
Thinking about the call from General Ross and the higher-ups just now, it was obvious that whether Kevin was willing or not, the higher-ups were prepared to use him as the main means of publicity to try to suppress the popularity of mutants.
"Although you don't have to be held accountable, you may have to pay a fine for the damage to the surrounding environment. Of course, we will also give you a bonus for bravery and a medal of honor as a citizen." George said, which made Kevin feel like a Spartan.
It's so realistic that after the superheroes fight, they have to pay compensation for the damaged streets.
"How about I compensate this superhero for all his losses?" At this time, a deep male voice came from the side. George turned around and saw the person coming, and his face changed slightly.
The visitor was a super fat man, two meters tall, wearing a white suit that was held up by his huge body. He was walking towards them step by step, leaning on a thin cane.
"Who is this?" Kevin pretended not to know.
But when the fat man appeared in front of him, he recognized the identity of the visitor even faster than George. He was the underground emperor who ruled the entire New York underworld, Wilson Grant Fisk, known as Kingpin.
More than 90% of his body is made up of muscles, and his physical fitness is superior to that of humans.
All I can say is that there are really some storms gathering here tonight. All kinds of powerful guys have focused their attention here, and they all have different plans in their minds.
George looked a little unhappy, and introduced to Kevin: "This is Mr. Fisk, a famous philanthropist in New York and an important competitor in this mayoral election."
He was not prepared to explain to Kevin about Kingpin glorious deeds, and did not want Kevin to be involved. However, he did not know that although he was incompatible with prostitution, gambling and drugs, Kevin had long since become one with them.
Under his astonished gaze, Kevin approached him with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Fisk, you just said you would help me pay for the damage to the street, right? How can I say that?"
George: ???
"Of course, as a member of the New York City, I can't let superheroes bleed and cry. Since you have contributed to public security, I will only contribute a small amount of money to help lessen your burden. This is what I should do."
Kingpin was leaning on a cane with a smile on his face, and his every move exuded a strong aura of wealth and status.
In fact, there is no need for him to act. After Kevin demonstrated his extraordinary power as a pure human being, under the catfish effect, it is foreseeable that a large number of wealthy people will pay to register under Kevin name to learn.
This was the case during the previous bank robbery. Many people wanted to contact Kevin through various connections and ask him for endorsements or something. However, Kevin was still weak at the time, so he unilaterally cut off contact with the outside world. Now he doesn't need to be so cautious.
"Mr. Fisk has a high level of awareness. He is worthy of being a famous philanthropist and a good man in New York. If everyone has your awareness, the public security in New York City will definitely be improved." Kevin began to praise Kingpin Business in front of George.
Then the conversation between the two was "coincidentally" recorded by the reporter who had not left yet with a camera, and one of the headlines tomorrow will definitely be "Superheroes save New York, mayoral candidate donates generously."
"I have actually been admiring superheroes for a long time. I wonder when you have time, I would like to treat you to a meal." Kingpin's fat face was filled with a gentle smile. If someone didn't know him, they would probably think he was a good person.
"Of course, no problem. I have time now, so why not go now?" Kevin thought of a possibility and said in a deep tone.
Then, under George's twitching eyelids, Kevin and Kingpin got along better and better as they talked, and they were almost about to become sworn brothers on the spot.
Seeing that they were about to get in the black car and leave together, he finally couldn't help but said, "Kevin, wait a moment."
"What's wrong, Mr. Director? Didn't you say that we can leave now?" Kevin asked, turning his head. Kingpin in the car also looked over. Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold. He hoped that the director would not ruin his good deal.
Being stared at by both of them, George's mouth twitched, and he said in a dry tone, "Be careful."
"Of course, take care of yourself, Chief. I'll come to your house to visit Gwen in a few days." Kevin comforted, but these words made George feel even more heartbroken. It would be better not to come.
When Kingpin heard that Kevin had a relationship with the director's family, his originally cold eyes suddenly became warm, and the idea of warning the other party in his mind was instantly dispelled.
Watching the black car in front of him slowly moving away, George waved his hand sadly and signaled his police officers to speed up the cleaning.
Inside the car, Kevin stopped the car in the corner, picked up Carmilla who had been waiting for a long time, and then several people drove the car towards Kingpin residence.
On the way, Kevin originally warm expression gradually returned to calmness. He looked calmly at Kingpin who was sitting steadily beside him and said, "Mr. Fisk, you asked me to come here this time. I think there is something you need my help with."
"Of course, didn't Director George say before that I want to run for mayor of New York City this term?" Fisk said modestly.
But Kevin immediately understood what the other party meant. He just wanted him to support him, which was similar to what George had thought of when he came to him before.
"I understand, I understand." Kevin had a look of understanding on his face, and then he said solemnly, "This matter is very simple for me. First, transfer to me 50 million to see if you are sincere enough."
"5... 50 million to see my sincerity?" Even Kingpin couldn't hold his calm expression anymore. Looking at Kevin who was talking so confidently, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Yes, as long as you give me enough money, I guarantee that you will become the mayor of New York this time." Kevin said in an unquestionable tone.
