Superman of the Marvel Universe

Luke returned to Washington, D.C., and did not live a quiet life for a few days.

People from the White House and the Pentagon take turns visiting every day.

The Red Square meeting has almost made clear the contradictions between the two superpowers and the future situation.

The world wants to know whose side Superman is on.

To be more precise, everyone is worried.

Will Superman become a "weapon" and be dropped on the battlefield?

Luke had never thought about being Dr. Manhattan. If Howard couldn't think of it, he would regard him as the biggest threat in the world.

Then he devised a series of conspiracies, and finally ended the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union at the cost of nearly 800 million lives in New York, and World War Three broke out.

And he traveled far away to Mars, completely losing his humanity...

How boring.

The Watchmen world line is destined to be impossible in the Marvel universe.

Therefore, in order to avoid harassment from politicians and to prepare Captain America's bachelor party before his wedding, Luke specially took Howard to Las Vegas to collect news.

They were sitting on a passenger plane flying to Nevada. Due to limited conditions, they also did not want to risk being harmed.

The two did not invite a bunch of flight attendants to pole dance in the first class cabin.

That kind of corrupt and decadent luxurious life can only be achieved by Iron Man.

“Why would you want to open a hotel and casino in Las Vegas?”

Howard asked curiously.

Nevada is mostly a barren desert. It was discovered by Mexican traders, and then a group of Mormons came.

It wasn't until the Union Pacific Railroad arrived that the area gradually prospered.

Later, it was the gold rush that prompted a large influx of people.

But like every mining town in the West, when the gold and silver mines were exhausted, the gold miners would leave and look for their next location.

"First of all, gambling is legal in Nevada."

"Secondly, the Army Department has built many military bases there to facilitate my influence."

"In the end, I believe Las Vegas will become a paradise for rich people and a paradise for gamblers."

Luke said with a smile.

The casino plan he had considered before had already been completed and was in business.

Mafiosi who crossed the ocean from Sicily to the North American continent.

Under Luke's instruction, they neither competed with their compatriots for territorial business nor had any conflicts with the Irish.

Cosa-Alessandro, who had just arrived, only ran an underground casino business in a few blocks after he took his brothers to establish a foothold in New York.

In Luke’s words, “practice your hands first.”

It is not easy to run a casino. From security to customer sources, to chip exchange, fund circulation, etc., you need to accumulate experience.

Most of those who join gangs have no special skills.

In addition to using violence, not many people know how to use their brains.

Therefore, they are keen on high-risk businesses such as smuggling and drug trafficking.

Every serious industry has its own threshold.

A former Wall Street stockbroker whose favorite clients were gangsters.

Because they give money readily and never ask about the financial situation of the account.

This is just like the entertainment industry in later generations, where the most popular investor is the coal boss.

There are essentially very high similarities between the two.

Later, a shocking case occurred. A bold liar disguised himself as a gold medal broker at Morgan Stanley and tricked the heads of the five major Italian families. Even the accountants specially hired by the Mafia did not notice anything was wrong.

In just half a month, the scammer made nearly 150 million US dollars and then fled.

Of course, the leaders of the five major families later issued a "wanted order" and arrested the person four months later with greater efficiency and speed than the federal police.

As for the end?

The liar was not dismembered and sunk in the river.

Instead, he was sent to a local jail in accordance with legal procedures.

Two weeks later, he died of anal fissure.

It is said that he had four "roommates".

From white to black, from macho to pervert.

Each roommate has a special hobby of locking up men and adding men to men.

Scammers are like a tunnel through a volcano, they are driven in and out every day.

Finally, he was overwhelmed and died of anal fissure.

This incident also reflects from the side that gangsters are very good at fighting.

But when it comes to economic acumen and handling wealth, it is really not good.

Luke doesn't want Alessandro's gang to become "thugs" who are attached to him and only do illegal business.

The more stable the social environment, the less room for gangs to survive.

Anyway, sooner or later you have to clear your name and go ashore, why not refuse to go into the sea from the beginning to reduce the stains on your body.

Just like the saying "the ways to make a fortune are all written in the criminal law", businesses that involve huge profits are basically illegal or fall into a gray area.

In the beacon country of freedom and democracy, the only thing worth investing in is probably gambling.

From the past to the present, there are two types of flesh and blood business and gambling business.

It has never been out of date and has always been a "hard need" of mankind.

"A paradise for the rich... I do have a lot of friends who are attracted to Las Vegas."

Howard thought thoughtfully. At this time, "Casino City" had not yet spread throughout the world.

Its name is only circulated among a small circle of wealthy people, those bastards who have money and nowhere to spend it, and like to rush to Las Villas in droves with their lovers.

New York's salon receptions, horseback riding and golfing are no longer enough to satisfy them.

Once the threshold of desire is raised, it is difficult to lower it again.

"It's just that you have something to do with the mafia?"

Howard asked as he leaned on the airplane seat.

He had heard the legendary story of Superman assisting the Allied forces in their assault on Sicily.

But a dignified army lieutenant general should not and cannot take the initiative to mix with the mafia.

"I'm an Irish immigrant originally, and my uncle painted houses for Irish gangsters."

Luke shrugged, turned around and asked, "Do you know how influential the International Teamsters Union is? Their chairman, Jimmy Hoffa, has more than 200 million registered members and 80 billion in pensions."

"How many votes are these? What kind of glittering investors are they? Howard, don't underestimate the gangs. Their era has not passed yet unless the Cold War ends and peace comes."

Even the family of John F. Kennedy, who later became president, had a delicate relationship with the Irish gang.

Many people say that Italians do business by playing gangsters, while Irish people fight and engage in politics.

It means that the Mafia goes to the sea first and then comes ashore.Transformed from a gangster to a business tycoon.

The Irish, on the other hand, specialize in uniting trade unions and engaging in political donations and political investment.

Their most successful achievement was probably sending John F. Kennedy to the White House.

But the result was not pretty. The Kennedy brothers were not as disciplined as their father.

Pay attention to a fair transaction and exchange of interests.

After they came to power, they turned around and rectified the problem of collusion between labor unions and gangs before they had even secured their position.

"That's right, Jimmy Hoffa has always been a man of the hour."

Howard looked at the gathering clouds, ended the topic of gangs, and brought up another matter.

"Is Rogers really planning to get married?"

Luke nodded, and his unintentional words seemed to be heard by Captain America.

Using a wedding to awaken the good brothers of the past seems like a reliable plan.

"Las Vegas, that's where Steve spends his bachelor nights."

Talking about this, Luke was very excited.

……

……

On the other side, Las Vegas.

An old man wearing a half-top hat and holding a silver cane appeared in the desert.

Perhaps it was because of the harsh sunlight and the high temperature that his figure was distorted.

"I smell something... seductive."

The old man sniffed and grinned.

Like a hungry eater who sees a table full of sumptuous banquets.

"The last time I came here, there was nothing in this place."

The old man muttered and took steps.

The space seemed to shorten automatically and quickly disappeared into the desert.

"The insatiable greed, the insatiable selfish desires... It's simply more like hell than hell."
