Chapter 166: The Heroic Meeting
"Mutant lives matter!"
"We want human rights and we want to survive!"
"Severely punish the murderer and pay with blood!"
Countless angry mutants, holding slogans, held a not-so-large demonstration on the streets of New York.
After all, the number of mutants is still relatively small. Even if most of the mutants in New York who are willing to take to the streets come, there will only be a few hundred people.
And this is already a very large number of people. If New York was not the most prosperous city in the United States and this was the origin of this protest, there would be mutants from all over the state and even the United States to support the protest.
Then it is very possible that even this number of mutants cannot be gathered together.
But no matter what, this is the most powerful demonstration by mutants in recent years. They are working hard to fight for the rights of their own race and want to change the tragic situation faced by their own mutants.
In the center of the procession, a huge photo was held high, showing a very bloody scene, which was the death scene of Meatball.
Mutants want to show their misery in this way to win more sympathy and support from non-mutants.
But little do they know that the natural stance and opposition of racial identities make their actions counterproductive.
But now that they were in it, they were all infected by the increasingly high atmosphere and felt that they were doing something very meaningful.
Right in front of the crowd was a white lady wearing a black slim-fitting suit, shouting loudly and leading all the mutants forward.
This woman was the human rights lawyer who was interviewed by the news that day and said that she would definitely follow up on this case, Evangeline Whedon.
This human rights lawyer is worthy of what she said. She has been paying attention to the progress of this case, and she played a very important role in this demonstration.
From the beginning to the end, the lawyer was busy running around, contacting many mutants, many of whom were originally unwilling to stand up to defend their rights.
But in Evangeline's sincere conversation, they realized that if they want to truly improve their status and allow mutants to live freely under the sun, they must fight for it themselves.
That's why so many mutants participated in this parade.
In the demonstration procession, there were also several young mutants, who were also holding banners high, looking excited, and shouting loudly with their faces red.
These people were Russell, John, Lorna and Clarice. They saw a mutant demonstration on TV and actually ran out together to participate.
But John among them has always been worried in his heart. After shouting a few slogans, he couldn't help but said to his companions:
"Hey, how about we do this? We go out to participate in the parade without telling the boss. He said he doesn't agree with us coming out!"
Hearing John's inappropriate words, little fat Russell said disdainfully: "Coward, what's so scary about this? We are working hard for the future of mutants. This is a sacred mission!"
"You're about to forget it, right? You obviously sneaked out while the boss was away, but you said you'd wait until Mr. Hammer came back and he found out about it? How will he punish us?"
Hearing John's displeased rhetorical question? Russell just turned his head and looked at Lorna, who was still shouting loudly, and could only admit it.
John was helpless? Who made his friend completely fascinated by this girl?
It's just that he is really worried that when his boss comes back, he will really go crazy. After all, they have been really aggressive recently and always go against each other's will.
At this moment, Alvin, who was missed by John, was meeting with an important person in a restaurant.
Kingpin!
Just the day before, when Ivan was thinking about the mutant shelter, or what Teslak Industries wanted to do, Kingpin suddenly sent him an invitation and wanted to have a meeting.
Seeing this invitation, Alvin had to put aside other things and focus on this man for the time being.
Because obviously, the last chance to determine the direction of New York's underground world has arrived!
In the restaurant, Alvin and Jinpin sat opposite each other at a dining table. Apart from this, there were no other customers. Even their subordinates only stood far away from the door of the restaurant, leaving all the space for them.
For two people.
Obviously, the restaurant will not be open for business today, just to provide an opportunity for the two bosses to have a conversation.
Except for a short-haired girl who looked only ten or five or six years old, she played the violin softly on the stage, maintaining the style of the restaurant and soothing the mood of everyone.
However, looking at the other party's calm look, it can be seen that the girl's psychological quality is very high, and she can continue to work safely in this environment.
Jin Bin looked at Alvin helplessly at this time: "How did things come to this point?"
Alvin shook his head slowly: "Why?"
"It's because of your ambition!"
Kingpin directly defined it and put the responsibility of turning the New York underworld into its current situation onto Alvin.
I saw him holding up the red wine glass in his hand, taking a sip, and said with a slightly confused look: "Looking back when we first met, I just thought you were a rich second generation who was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to play gangster games.
So I want to find a way to eat you up and wipe you clean.
Oh, but later in the contact, I discovered something different about you. I felt that you were different from others. You understood me and wanted to work with me to help this city become a better place.
So I let you join the Underworld Alliance, and I have been helping you and supporting you!"
Having said this, Jinpin suddenly put down his wine glass and looked at Alvin with burning eyes: "But I was wrong, those are not the real you.
The real you has a dark heart, has no scruples, and doesn't care about anything. You don't care about human life, you don't care about feelings, and you don't care at all about what others think of you.
Even for the mutants under your command, who should be your real compatriots, in fact you just treat them as pawns. If one day you no longer need them, you will abandon them without hesitation.
Everything is a disguise, just an illusion you showed. It's a pity that I knew it too late, otherwise I should have erased you when I first met you!"
Ivan smiled and said seriously: "Actually, you have always misunderstood me. Even when we first met, you were the only one who was erased.
So, why did you come to me today? Do you want to discuss the future situation of the New York underground world, or do you want to persuade me to stop and let you go.
