The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 89 The Weakness of Human Nature
It is already difficult to calculate how much economic loss the Punisher has brought to the Chopping Block Gang.

He alone almost caused the Chopping Block Gang to disband because they couldn't afford the financial pressure.

For example, a very profitable nightclub was bombed by the Punisher.

... how much money will be lost?
Repair costs, resettlement costs for lost personnel, the cost of hiring new people, income stagnation due to business closures...

A successful retaliatory action can bring an astronomical loss.

It's like creating a small black hole.

Jigsaw really hates the Punisher.

I don't know if he ever regretted messing with Frank, but he must have felt furious every time the Punisher showed up and his men failed to kill him.

Thinking about it, He Nan felt...that was really painful.

Even doubt life.

There is only one person on the other side... one person!

But you have invested so many little brothers and weapons, and you still can't encircle and suppress a man who is fighting alone with a mortal body!

It literally makes you wonder if you're cursed.

... At the same time, he questioned whether his subordinates were playing tricks on him, or whether there was an inner ghost.

In fact, these gangs in New York are really strong... Thanks to the city's criminal industry chain that is so stubborn and cannot be easily destroyed.

He Nan thought so.

The Punisher has taken down many gangsters around the world.

Some local forces, including Jin Bing in the United States and overseas, were also destroyed by him.

But the gang here in New York, his family can't take it down.

It can't cause a fatal blow to anyone, at most it's a bit heavy.

"Boy." Bone Spur led them to go underground, cleared his slightly hoarse voice and said, "Have you ever watched an underground boxing match?"

"It's the first time I've watched Black Boxing." He Nan admitted: "I used to collect evidence from Black Boxing fighters when investigating cases, but it had nothing to do with the case, so I didn't ask him what his profession is like."

"I've seen it." Shirley said softly, "...when I was in Japan."

Well, I remember this... He Nan recalled: she saw it when she was 14 years old.

Her parents took her to see it.

That boxing match was not very violent, it was a normal competition, according to the rules of free fighting, the winner was judged formally, and excessive pursuit and the like were not allowed.

So the child saw nothing.

As for why this is still called black boxing... it is because the link of betting still exists.

This is definitely not allowed at the Japanese legal level.

...Of course, the United States does not allow it, so everyone secretly does it underground.

"Oh? How did Japan fight?" Bone spur became interested.

"It can be divided into different types... The one I saw is a relatively safe format." Shirley said without expression: "It's quite boring in my impression, I just want to read it quickly."

"Oh, then I guarantee that what you see today will never be boring." Bone Spur grinned and snorted, "It's very interesting. You will deeply appreciate the stimulation from the original gene... Did you find it?" ? The stimulating services provided by such entertainment venues basically serve the primitive instincts of human beings. This is to spy on people's desires from the bottom...so when people evolve to a certain stage, they will want to return to their ancestors."

"I think what you said earlier is correct, but the metaphor of returning to ancestors is really wrong." He Nan complained: "It doesn't mean the same thing at all, okay?"

"But the reason behind it is self-evident." Bone Spur said seriously: "It can give you a lot of reflection...Why are these exciting entertainments serving the evil side of human beings?"

"It's probably because...the kind of entertainment that favors good people doesn't need to be done secretly?" He Nan proposed: "It's fine to play it openly. If it's legal, it won't be so exciting."

"I don't think it's affected by the law." Shirley shook her head: "Pachinko in Japan is also legal... There are still many people who are addicted to those little steel balls and ruined their lives. They are also very Stimulate."

Pachinko is a machine for hitting steel balls.Popular in Japan.

Spend money on steel balls, then use that machine to hit as many steel balls as possible into the entrance, trying to drop more steel balls.

After that, you can redeem gifts with steel balls or points.

People usually redeem the most expensive option — a small gold leaf in a plastic casing.

Take it to a money changer near a pachinko parlor and exchange it for Japanese yen.

... In fact, it is a disguised form of gambling.

The Japanese government banned pachinko gambling on the surface, so they added Tao as an exchange tool.What is exchanged is only a gift, it is not considered gambling.

The government has also been acquiescing to this kind of behavior and earning a lot of taxes.

"Uh... yes." He Nan admitted, "but illegality does add a lot of excitement. For example, if the government declares cinemas illegal, then underground cinemas will be born to satisfy people's pent-up needs... People just find it exciting to watch a movie in a theater—even if it’s just a very normal commercial movie.”

"Hehehe... Your thinking angle is fine. I'm just saying that things that can make a lot of money are often done by digging out the weaknesses of human nature." Bone Spur laughed in a deep voice: "And this has given me a lot. think."

"Uh...like?"

"For example, think about how this city got to where it is today step by step, and what caused its degeneration...how can it stop its degeneration and get back on track." Bone Spur noticed that He Nan's eyes were a little surprised, and hummed "Look at me with that look, what do you mean?"

"I just feel a little surprised that you can think about this kind of question." He Nan confessed: "It feels like you have been thinking about how you can gain a foothold in the underworld and become a big shot... Shouldn't someone as ambitious as you think that New York is Is it best for you to stay in the dark like this?"

"Ha! Maybe." Bone Spur smiled: "That's what I think, and I hope to study its underlying logic to think in reverse and keep it at a level where it won't be completely controlled by Bai Dao. But I hope it will remain A balance, do not continue to degenerate, degenerate to break through a certain critical point... because that will mean that after becoming a gangster, the status will also be unstable. Maybe the example of New York is not intuitive enough, so I will recommend N World Fusion to you I used the cities I came here as a reference..."

"Didn't you mean Gotham City?" Ho Nan's first reaction was this.

"Smart enough—it's the most chaotic city in the world, not one of them... I'm sure." Bone Spur dusted off the soot and narrowed his eyes: "If New York is said to be corrupt to the boughs, then Gotham It’s rotten to the root. It’s easier to level it up with a nuclear bomb and build a new city than to save it.”
