Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 11 Superheroes You Can Hire

Hell's Kitchen.

The messiest and most unnecessary place in New York.

Here, all kinds of crimes happen every day. If there is any area in New York City whose residents are not worried about major events such as alien invasion, it will definitely not be the residents living near the Avengers Building. , but the people of Hell's Kitchen.Because for them, the possibility of dying in the hands of aliens may not be as high as the possibility of encountering gang fire and being killed by stray bullets when they go out one day.

It's not that no one is willing to change this place. For example, Tony Stark in the Avengers once joined forces with popular star Steve Rogers to donate money to Hell's Kitchen for many times, but this place seems to have a magical power, no matter what you have What a well-established philanthropic scheme that always allows good things to end in a dirty way.

In such a chaotic and disorderly place, two outsiders came.

Zhao and Jennifer walked leisurely on the sidewalk, like two foreign tourists.

"The course of action that I deliberately chose, theoretically, we will almost never encounter sudden crimes." Zhao Wan was as comfortable as taking a walk after a meal.

"At least five people have looked at us with malicious eyes just now." Jennifer frowned slightly, "So that's why I don't like coming here."

"If you don't want to come, I can handle it by myself." Zhao replied lightly.

"Just you?" Jennifer showed disdainful eyes, "If you have more than three gangsters, you can't beat them, right?"

"What gave you the illusion that I would give three people a chance to attack me?" Zhao was not to be outdone.

Maybe it was luck, maybe Zhao's calculations were impeccable, and the two arrived in front of a neat-looking office building without incident.

They walked to the old elevator with ease and pressed the floor. Amidst the creaking sound of the elevator chain rubbing against each other, the two came to an office door that at least looked clean and tidy outside the door.

There is such a sign hanging at the door of the office.

"Superheroes You Can Hire"

"Although I admit that everyone has a good relationship, are you sure we really need to ask them for help?" Jennifer asked while looking at the signboard.

"Any criminal or superhero has his own behavioral pattern and behavioral goals, and Mordoke completely violated his own pattern this time. It can't be a coincidence. He must be planning something we don't know. We There is too little information at hand, I need better sources of information, that is to say, we need the help of the so-called 'local snakes'." Zhao replied.

"'Local snake?' Don't we just live in New York?" Jennifer was puzzled.

"When was the last time you attended a neighborhood gathering? When was the last time you walked the streets not for your defender to appear in court to collect information?" Zhao turned his head and looked at Jennifer, "We live in New York, but we are not New Yorkers .”

The two pushed open the door, walked in, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed towards them.

A dark-haired beauty was putting her long legs on the table, and then leaned back in the chair and fell asleep, with a pile of empty beer cans scattered on the ground next to her.

Perhaps she heard the sound of the door opening, she opened her eyes impatiently, then stood up unsteadily, rubbed her shoulders that were a little stiff due to her sleeping position: "Who is it?"

"Jessica, we need help." Jennifer shook her head and walked up to the brunette.

"Jennifer?" Jessica scratched her long black hair and messed it up to look like a madman. "Are you going the wrong way? Matt's office is two blocks from here, if you If you want him to help you appear in court or question witnesses, hurry up now, maybe you can catch up with the old lady next door to give them apple pie."

"Jessica, what we're looking for is you and Luke." Zhao supported the table and replied helplessly to Jessica who was in a state of hangover in front of him.

……

"Sorry I'm late." Luke Cage, wearing a sweatshirt, hurried back to the office. "Today, I promised the children in the community to teach them some football skills."

"Oh, it's okay." Zhao answered casually while looking at the layout of the entire office with interest.

"Don't tell me that after your careful calculation, my house is going to collapse." Jessica took out a bottle of whiskey out of nowhere and poured it directly into her mouth.

"I thought you'd be more restrained after you got married." Jennifer said, looking at Jessica who was gulping down her wine.

"If you're here to teach me how to be a housewife, get out of here." Jessica rolled her eyes.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhao interrupted the chat, "Have you guys heard about the actions of Mordok and his AIM recently?"

"The bank robbery yesterday?" Luke asked back, he touched his bald head, "There is no news, and even Mordoc has been quite quiet these days, as if it disappeared."

"Yeah, seeing the news yesterday, I thought AIM was so poor that it had to rob banks for a living." Jessica mocked, "Maybe criminal gangs are having a hard time these days."

"He has other plans." Zhao replied, "Yesterday he stole a miniature energy converter from the bank, but we still don't know what his purpose is."

"What's the use of that thing? Can it blow up half of New York?" Jessica put down the bottle that was almost empty and asked seriously.

"Hmm..." Zhao thought for a while, "It might be able to blow up this wine bottle."

"So Mordoc spent so much effort just for a 'corkscrew'?" Jessica was stunned. "I thought they were only interested in ruling the world."

"The miniature energy conversion instrument is a very delicate instrument, which is used in many devices, and this one was modified by Reid..." Zhao explained.

"Okay, I probably know the seriousness of the matter." After hearing Zhao's explanation, Jessica's expression became serious, "So why didn't Reed handle it himself?"

"I don't know. I tried to contact the Pasteur Building, but there was no reply. I suspect that Reed probably shut himself up in the 'negative generation' again for some experimental research, so it is up to us to deal with this matter." Zhao replied .

"Okay, we'll take this job." Luke nodded, "After all, I don't want Mordoke to make any big things happen in a few days."

"How is the remuneration calculated? By the hour? Do you pay in cash or by credit card?" Jessica asked as she pulled her coat off the hanger and put it on.

"Just send the bill to the Stark Group." Zhao replied boldly, "You fill in the numbers yourself, and don't go too far. I don't want to be hunted down by Morgan."
