As the most modern city, New York has many places worth mentioning.
In terms of infrastructure construction, sewers will inevitably occupy a place.
New York is one of the first cities to build sewers, with a depth of 9 to 60 meters underground and a total length of 10,600 kilometers. It was built in 1849.
The spectacular underground brick structure tunnels, complete drainage facilities, and wide and bright terrain spaces are unmatched by any other city.
It is precisely for this reason that the New York sewers have become a frequent feature in major movies.
Marvel is no exception.
The sewer scene that left the deepest impression on people must be the laboratory that Connors established in the sewers after transforming into a lizard doctor.
After Mendel Storm negotiated with Norman Osborne and took the blame, he used the power of Osborne Company to establish a secret laboratory in the sewer area directly below Osborne Company as a
Hide stronghold.
Although the sewer laboratory was established rather hastily, its internal facilities are fully equipped.
Luke Cage found this place under the guidance of his companions.
After entering the sewer laboratory, everything here shocked him.
This modern equipment, along with the originally dirty and messy environment of the sewers he saw along the way, formed a sharp contrast that was visible to the naked eye.
"Noah, what is going on? How did you get involved with Osborne Company?" He looked at the man with slightly gray hair in front of him, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
"I've known Storm for many years and he recently contacted me and asked me to work for him."
Noah Bernstein smiled and spoke, very satisfied with Luke's reaction.
His relationship with Luke is not close and somewhat complicated.
Although the superpowers Luke obtained came from him, and he even saved Luke's life at a critical moment, the two could only be said to be using each other from the beginning to the end, and their friendship was shallow.
Strictly speaking, the two are actually afraid of each other, but they have to rely on each other.
"This is good."
Luke let out a breath.
He knew what it meant to be here.
But at this critical moment of life and death, the olive branch extended by Osborne Company undoubtedly gave him a chance to survive.
Outside New York, there is Haimen Prison to arrest him and take him back.
In New York, he offended the underground overlord Kingpin again.
Luke didn't really have much choice left.
"You must be Luke."
Just as the two old acquaintances were saying this, a deep voice suddenly came from behind Noah.
Mendel Storm appears in a white coat.
Luke learned about Storm before arriving here.
Not long ago, the news was all over the place, and Mendel Storm was also considered a famous figure.
He was once an executive of Osborne Company, but because he used illegal means to recruit homeless people as volunteers for human experiments, he was ruthlessly fired and reported by the chairman of Osborne Company, Norman Osborne, and eventually became a fugitive criminal.
In fact, if the crimes committed by Storm are carried out carefully, Storm will not be in jail for long, and he may even be released on bail without having to spend a day in jail.
Osborne Company has decided to pay a huge fine and will not be stingy about secretly paying Storm's bail.
But Storm still chose to hide.
This shows that he is unwilling to sink and has a new goal.
"Nice to meet you."
Storm's eyes wandered over Luke, and the information provided by Noah made him very interested in Luke.
If Luke is, as Noah said, the most successful person in the human body modification experiment, then the super soldier transformation experiment can be officially upgraded.
Even if this technology is immature, Storm can still use it to make deals with the military and clear his name.
However, Storm doesn't care about his status as a criminal.
Being reduced to a criminal freed him from the constraints he felt when acting.
What he wants to do now is to gather his strength, and then...
Take revenge!
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Storm."
Luke was a little sensitive to the fiery gaze from Storm and nodded slightly.
"Your enemy is Kingpin, that's good."
Storm changed the subject and said slowly: "We have the same enemy, which allows us to have the same goal."
"With all due respect, it is easy for me to accept asylum from Osborne Company, and I also understand that I need to pay some price for this."
Luke was a little frightened when he heard Storm's words, feeling that he was involved in a huge dispute.
From the dispute between New York's underground overlords, the Kingpin and the Osborne Company.
"What exactly do you need me to do?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Good question."
Storm smiled: "We want you to stand on the table, blatantly give money and cause damage. To this end, I, and Osborne Company, will fully assist you."
After a pause, seeing that Luke still didn't understand, he changed to a simpler and easier-to-understand explanation.
"To put it bluntly, I want you to replace Kingpin and become the boss of the New York underworld."
"What?"
Luke's eyes widened with disbelief, and he pointed at himself: "Are you sure I can do this? Knock King King off his throne?"
"With Osborne and me, what else is impossible?"
At this time, Noah spoke with a proud expression: "Luke, don't forget where your strength comes from."
"Understood."
Luke took a deep breath and countless images flashed through his mind.
The powerlessness in Haimen Prison, the pursuit after escaping from Haimen Prison, and the huge pressure felt from the air without even seeing the other party under Jin Bin's persecution...
All kinds of unwillingness converge into ambition.
"good!"
He said firmly: "I agree!"
"We have formulated a basic action plan. The first step is very simple. You have to gather the power of a gang first..."
"According to the information we heard, the person who betrayed you is called Rattlesnake Wesley Stryker. He is the boss of the Maggia Gang in Harlem. Currently, Stryker has been arrested because of his connection with Rackham.
Capture David Fisk, Kingpin’s biological brother.”
"David Fisk is a big threat. After you gain enough power, the first thing you need to do to deal with Kingpin is his vicious brother."
Noah didn't pay attention when he spoke. After hearing Wesley Stryker's name, there was a hint of surprise in Luke's eyes.
His voice continued in an impassioned tone:
"Strike became the prisoner of David Fisk. The Maggia gang he controlled is now leaderless. This is an opportunity to rise to the top."
"We will help you become the leader of the Maggia Gang."
"Then, through human body modification surgery, your people will have strong enough force, and with the arms provided by Osborne Company... you will be unrivaled in the New York underground world."
I have to admit that Noah's words were very tempting. Luke ignored Stryker, who had turned against him, and the fire of his ambition began to burn brightly.
Storm's face was calm.
This was what he and Noah had agreed upon.
And the beginning of everything can be traced back to the night when the Horizon Laboratory building was forced to be exposed. After realizing that the situation was inevitable, he had a conversation with Norman Osborne.
"Since the other party is a gangster, then use gangster methods to decide the outcome with the other party."
"Pull Kingpin off the throne and I will become the new king!"
…
A few days later.
"There is no news about Luke Cage yet. He seems to have disappeared."
Wesley was reporting on the current situation: "I suspect that he may have received help from some people."
"Certain people, you mean?" David asked.
"have no idea."
Wesley shook his head: "It's just a guess."
