Darkness Rises

Chapter 25 Black Harlem

"Hey, Uncle Osborne!"

"Evan!"

After entering Norman Osborn's office, Ivan opened his arms to the wise, energetic, and successful middle-aged man opposite him.

And Norman was not polite, and after laughing, he sat up from behind the desk and gave Ivan a big hug.

"Why didn't you inform me before you came, if it wasn't for your little girlfriend, wouldn't you come to uncle's place!"

There was a hint of blame in Norman's tone.

From the dialogue between more than two people, it can be seen that the relationship between them is far from being comparable to casual acquaintances.

The pair's initial relationship began with Alvin and Norman Osborn's son, Harry Osborn, who were classmates at Midtown High.

And because the damn system once issued him a task that has not been completed so far, Ivan deliberately maintained the relationship with Harry.

In turn, the Hammer family and the Osborne family have developed a relatively deep friendship.

Later, because of some special reasons, Norman Osborn sent Harry to Europe for a year to study, so Ivan and Harry had no contact for a while.

But this did not affect the relationship between the Osborne and Hammer families.

After all, the ruling families of the two top enterprises, there are actually too many places where the two can combine commercially, so as to make their relationship closer.

"Girlfriend? No, I haven't officially caught up with her yet, and now I can only count as having a good impression of each other. Then, I came here with her because I was going to see Uncle Osborne!"

Aiwen didn't make any drafts when he told lies.

On the contrary, Osborne showed a look of surprise when he heard Ivan's words: "Is such an outstanding girl, even you are so hard to chase, it seems that our Osborne Enterprise has found a baby.

After she graduates, we invite her to work as soon as possible! "

Ivan shrugged: "Gwen is indeed an outstanding girl, maybe I will let her work in Hammer Industries in the future."

"By the way, I'm going to bring Harry back from Europe!" Osborn suddenly announced the news to Ivan.

A gleam suddenly flashed in Ivan's eyes. If Harry came back, it would mean that the system task would be restarted.

A lot of pressure!
But then he smiled and said to Norman: "It seems that uncle has figured it out and doesn't plan to train Harry anymore!"

Norman nodded with a serious expression: "Next, the cooperation between Osborne Group and Hammer Industries will be further deepened, and I need to let Harry get in touch with the group's business gradually.

The development of the 'Physical Enhancement Program' and the 'New Efficiency Aircraft' has also entered a critical moment. I need you to contact Senator Stern as soon as possible, and let him, as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, put pressure on General Ross.

This guy is really too difficult to deal with, there are too many demands and prejudices on our two plans, we have no room for failure! "

Hearing that Norman Osborn was talking about business, Ivan couldn't help but get serious.

These two plans are led by Aiwen, with the Osborne Group as the mainstay, and Hanmer Industries participating in the plan, and they are aimed at the two top plans of the Ministry of National Defense.

The Osborne Group has invested heavily in research and development for both programs, and they have no room for failure.

The reason why Hammer Industries can join is precisely because Senator Stern, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is also a member of Hydra, and his interests are highly consistent with Aiwen.

With the friendship and help of the chairman of the Military Membership Association, it would be a strong alliance for Hanmer Industries to participate.

But Norman Osborn didn't know that in this plan, Ivan and Senator Stern had a deeper plan!

"Okay, I will contact Congressman Stern as soon as possible, and I will let him arrange the next inspection by General Ross as soon as possible!"

"awesome!"

Hearing Aiwen's promise, Norman couldn't help but be overjoyed. In fact, all his energy has been devoted to these two plans recently, and he can't bear to fail.

"I think when Harry comes back, our two families can have a dinner together!"

Norman even started inviting Ivan directly.

Ai Wen nodded with a smile: "No problem, I will tell my father..."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Norman frowned. He didn't like people disturbing them at this time, but his assistant also knew what he had just said, so something urgent must have happened.

"Come in!"

Unexpectedly, it was Dex who had been following Aiwen who came in, and he whispered a few words in Aiwen's ear with a serious expression.

Ivan frowned and looked at Norman: "Uncle Osborne, I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with, and I have to leave early!"

"need any help?"

Ivan shook his head: "I can solve it!"

"Okay, you can deal with it as soon as possible!"

And the moment Ivan turned around and walked out of Norman Osborn's office, his expression became extremely cold.

"What are the hedgehogs doing? Why did they clash with the black people in Harlem!"

In the driving car, Ivan's tone was a little annoyed. He had just eliminated the Irish gangsters entrenched in Hell's Kitchen, which had already aroused some dissatisfaction and vigilance from other forces.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hammer, the hedgehog didn't make it clear on the phone, he only wants to tell you in person!"

Dex's expression was also ugly. Did Hedgehog really question his status in Hammer's heart? Even Mr. Hammer never shy away from him.

"Hmph, speed up!"

A three-story warehouse in Hell's Kitchen.

To the outside world, this is a warehouse for some transshipment goods, but it was originally the lair of the Irish. When they disappeared, it should be placed under Ivan's command.

Now the person who is in charge here is Aiwen's new recruit, the hedgehog.

Most of the Irishman's original business is now in charge of him. Although Ivan simply handed him over to the Lankokhov brothers, the two brothers are very good at life.

Since the hedgehog is also a mutant, a compatriot of the boss (in their eyes, Aiwen is a powerful mutant), and it was specially arranged by the boss, so the two handed over part of the power with great interest.

Now Hedgehog has 80 to [-] people under his command, some of them are disbanded Irish people. They have no other way of making a living except gangsters, so they have joined Hedgehog's men again.

The other part is the Russians specially handed over to him by the Lankokhov brothers to suppress the Irish and enrich the strength of the hedgehog.

So during this period of time, the hedgehog lived very comfortably, and he felt that he had obtained the life he once dreamed of.

He no longer needs to hide and hide like a mouse in the gutter, the humans under him all respect him very much, and they will hug him when he goes out.

He understood how all this came about, so he just wanted to work harder for his boss.

At the same time, the well-developed Hedgehog, Night Walker, and Arc Light have not forgotten their identities, and they have also begun to rely on their power to help those mutants with miserable lives live better.

Today, the night girl who changed shifts with Arc Light and didn't need to protect the boss took some dollars and went to the abandoned church that night.

It was a gathering place for mutants, and she knew almost everyone in it, and some mutants whose lives were indeed extremely difficult lived in it.

After all, special talent is not a gift for every mutant. Some mutants look very different from ordinary humans. Some look like disgusting toads, while others look like monsters...

It will be very difficult for this type of mutants to survive in human society.

Therefore, Night Walker will come here from time to time to relieve compatriots who are living in hardship.

"boom!"

Just as she was chatting with her former old friend about her current life, the door of the church was suddenly pushed open, and the afternoon sun shone in, causing everyone to squint their eyes.

When everyone gradually got used to the light, they found that the one who opened the door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old aborigine Indian boy.

At this time, his immature face was full of panic, and drops of sweat dripped from his greasy black hair.

Night Walker narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She could sense with her special talent that the little boy in front of her was also a mutant, otherwise she would have stepped forward to teach him a lesson.

The boy glanced behind him in panic, and quickly ran into the church. Just a few seconds later, a group of five or six black men with vicious faces stood at the door, even blocking the incoming sunlight.

Looking at the little boy looking for an exit in the church, the strong black leader showed a ferocious grin.

"John Proudstar, let's see where you go this time!"

He took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at the little boy. The other black men behind him also raised their pistols and pointed them forward.

This isn't dealing with a little boy, it's like dealing with a super soldier!
"Tony, don't shoot, I'll go with you, there are innocent people here!"

The little boy raised his hands, his body trembling a little, but in order not to drag innocent people down, he walked slowly towards the church gate.

When he came to the black man, the black man named Tony raised the handle of the pistol with a smirk, and slammed the boy's head hard.

"This is a greeting from Mr. Waterbell Snake!"

"what!!!"

The expected scene of the little boy bleeding head did not happen. Instead, the group of black people quickly flew out one after another and landed on the street outside the church gate.

Several people got up from the ground moaning in pain, but they were not injured, but they were all horrified to find that a black woman opposite was staring at them with a cold face.

And at her feet are the guns that should have been held in their hands!
"Tell the waterbell snake, this is Hell's Kitchen, not Harlem, and next time, I'll make it impossible for any of you to leave, get out!"

The aura of the night girl is extremely domineering!
