Darkness Rises

Chapter 101 The Purple Man
After a long and strange sound that made people blush and heartbeat, the two came to the sink in disheveled clothes and packed them up.

Ai Wen was arranging his hairstyle in front of the mirror while cleaning the lipstick marks on his cheeks.

"That's your little girlfriend, so you like this!"

Anna on the side was arranging the corners of her skirt, and said with a little bit of complaint and jealousy: "So you like a little girl like Gwen Stacy, ah!"

With a scream, Anna was grabbed by Ivan's hair and pulled in front of him: "Don't worry about things you shouldn't care about!"

After speaking, as if to comfort the woman, Aiwen gave her a symbolic kiss, then pulled her hair and pushed her away.

After Anna stood firm, there were tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to be angry or speak out, she could only complain about the unfair life.

It turned out that Anna was just one of a large group of people who came to New York from Eastern Europe to pursue the "American Dream", but success is not so easy, especially in New York, where the competition is extremely fierce.

In order to stand out, Anna used some special means. In the end, instead of becoming the "supermodel" she imagined, she fell into the hands of local gangsters step by step.

It's just because she has some special talents, a good figure, a beautiful face, and even learned acting specifically for her former star dream.

In order to have some high-end products for his population business, Aiwen chose Anna and started a deliberate star-making plan.

To be honest, there are so many overnight hits in this era, and more of them have been planned for a long time.

Under the control of professional promoters, Anna, who is pretty and has decent acting skills, keeps occupying the pages of local entertainment news. Gradually, this newly rising opera singer begins to become famous.

But before Anna could be happy for herself, the price she had been worried about had finally befallen her.

That night, she was sent to the bed of the just-elected mayor of New York City, which became a congratulatory gift for him.

Next, this beautiful opera actress with a glamorous appearance and an overnight stardom became friends with many high-ranking officials, such as the chief of police, officials from the New York District Attorney's Office, and some high-sounding and upright city councilors.

After all, this beautiful actress is just Aiwen's tool person. Occasionally, she can serve her boss when she is in the mood.

"Remember, don't show hostility in front of Gwen in the future, understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Hammer!"

It's a damn different life.

After relaxing, Ivan walked out of the theater contentedly. His motorcade was waiting for him at the door, but Gwen looked at him with a complaining expression on his face: "Why did it take so long? It took half an hour. gone."

Ivan shrugged, and lied without any guilt: "Oh, there may be something wrong with the steak I ate yesterday. I have to teach the chef a lesson when I go back. Let's go!"

"Well, good!" Gwen didn't even raise any objections, but turned around first and got into the car.

Ai Wen was very surprised. Didn't it mean that girls have a strong sixth sense? He is still ready to be interrogated, and that's the end of it.

But saving trouble is also a good thing. He was about to get in the car, but in an instant, his eyes changed.

Ai Wen stood still in front of the car door, with a cloudy expression on his face. Looking at Gwen in the car, he was also asking the driver: "Where's Dex!"

Damn it, Ai Wen always felt that something was wrong, and it was only when he was about to get in the car that he discovered the source of the problem.

Dex wasn't here, his bodyguard, the "bullseye" who never left his side except for his orders, disappeared for no reason at this moment.

This is not right!
"Now, listen to me, don't talk, don't resist, don't use your extraordinary power, take the cable car to Roosevelt Island!"

Aiwen's body stiffened in an instant, and with the devil-like raving voice behind him, Aiwen felt that his body was no longer controlled by himself, but could only follow the other party's request.

To put it simply, he was hit!

The body involuntarily entered the car and sat next to Gwen. Ivan could clearly see Gwen's obviously panicked expression, but he could only sit obediently in the seat, neither talking nor moving.

Aiwen understands her feelings, because he feels the same at the moment, his body cannot be controlled by himself, but his brain can still think independently.

This kind of ability reminded him of a person.

At this moment, a figure followed behind him and also entered the car. A cynical voice with an obvious British accent sounded: "Now, go to Roosevelt Island!"

As the car in which Aiwen was sitting started, the entire convoy followed and drove to the wrong destination.

At this moment, Aiwen knew that all the bodyguards in the team seemed to have been tricked and controlled by this person.

At this moment, the man in a purple suit was sitting opposite Ivan. He took out a bottle of champagne from the car refrigerator and poured it into two glasses with a full face.

He handed one of the cups to Gwen beside him, and said in a casual tone, "Have a drink with me!"

Gwen didn't refuse, or there was no way to refuse. Even though her eyes were red, she could only pick up the wine glass obediently in front of Ivan, and drank with the strange man in front of her.

Seeing the appearance of the other party and the abilities displayed, Ai Wen knew who he was, the purple man!
The Purple Man, whose real name is Zebdia Kilgrave, is from England (the background here is from the TV show Jessica Jones, not the comics).

His body can emit a pheromone hormone. When the skin of the target he wants to control absorbs these hormones, the purple man can control it through words, similar to a powerful hypnotic mechanism.

It's just that this guy's ability is different from the mind control of Professor X and the White Queen. He doesn't need to use his ability to control the target all the time, and the target will execute his thoughts according to the order he gave before.

But at the same time, his abilities are not so incomprehensible, and people with strong willpower and different physiological functions can resist his abilities.

Due to a moment of inadvertence, Ivan fell into this guy's way, but it doesn't mean that he can't resist.

At the same time, in a shadow in the parking lot not far from the opera house, a body bleeding from the abdomen squirmed, and then, strong willpower slowly regained control of his entire body.

The phone was dialed, and Dex's angry and eager voice sounded: "The boss has been kidnapped, night girl, notify everyone, mobilize all forces, find the boss, everyone involved will die tonight.

kill! "
