Long Ao Marvel
Chapter 16 Karen Page's Ambition
There is no doubt about the outcome of this lawsuit. Matt Murdoch used his superb language skills to obtain huge compensation for the plaintiff, mother and son.
"Eleven million! I can't even imagine that. Thank you, Mr. Murdoch."
After the court adjourned, her mother could no longer control her crying and hugged the lawyer whom she regarded as her life-saving straw. The lawyer also smiled and patted her on the shoulder.
The door to the court opened and Murdoch pushed the teenager in the wheelchair outside, while his mother had already gone out to deal with the reporters swarming outside.
"God..."
The young man's face was covered with a layer of deathly gray, showing no joy at having just become a multimillionaire. For him, without healthy legs, life was actually over.
The lawyer standing aside heard the young man's sadness, squatted down and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
"Um."
Murdoch pouted in the direction of the crowd, turned his back to the boy, and said, "Can I talk to you?"
Facing the lawyer who was helping him to live his life, the young man reluctantly cheered up and nodded.
"That money will be of great help to your parents, but for you..." Murdoch pointed to the boy's chest, "It will only get harder and harder in the future, Allen."
The young man looked at him expressionlessly.
"You're in the first mile of a marathon, you know? Everyone will tell you how to feel, your doctor will tell you to stay positive, your family will tell you not to feel sorry for yourself, your therapist will tell you
You control the anger in your heart——"
"I'm already angry!"
Murdoch leaned on the guide cane and asked, "Who are you angry with?"
"...Everyone." The young man turned away his head, "I just want to go back to a normal life!"
"That's something others can't give you." Murdoch smiled, "I very much hope that one day you can stand up on your own. It's also possible that you can never stand up again, but as life becomes more and more difficult in the future, you
If you can still hold on, it will be a thousand times stronger than forcing a smile and pretending that everything is fine. Do you understand?"
The young man was thoughtful and nodded confusedly.
"Hey, young man." Murdoch put his hand on his shoulder and said sincerely, "No one can give your life back to you, Allen, you have to take it back yourself."
There was finally some hope in the young man's eyes. He wiped away the tears in his eyes and said softly: "OK."
"Okay, go ahead and meet those reporters." Murdoch encouraged.
The boy took a few deep breaths, pushed the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands, and slid forward.
Murdoch stood behind silently, watching the young man merge into the crowd, and was soon surrounded by reporters.
The focus of the news now was the mother and son, and he was happy to have some free time, just in time to take a break. Although the lawsuit just now was not too difficult, it still consumed a lot of his energy.
At this moment, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Mr. Murdoch."
He turned around: there were three men walking towards him, with steady steps and long breaths. They seemed to be no ordinary people. The one in the middle should be speaking.
Murdoch asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"I'm Danny Rand."
"Danny Rand, the one from the Rand Group?" Murdoch made up his mind and put away the smile on his face, "My next case will be you."
Danny noticed the obvious sense of alienation in the lawyer's tone, but still smiled: "I came here specifically to see you today. You are indeed the best private lawyer in Hell's Kitchen, and you live up to your reputation."
"I'm just an ordinary person... maybe not that 'ordinary', what do you want from me?" Murdoch automatically ignored Danny Rand's compliment.
"Uh...it's okay, just out of curiosity."
"I generally don't deal with people from the defendant's side. This is a lawyer's professional ethics." Murdoch prepared to stay away from these people, but before walking away, he still said to Danny, "Seeing as you demand to sell at cost price."
Regarding the new drug for the treatment of kala-azar, I believe you are not a bastard, but I would like to remind you that your subordinates have caused you big trouble this time."
Danny asked rhetorically: "The factory we built meets all national testing standards. Are you so sure it must be us?"
"Meeting the testing standards means you must be healthy? Maybe the country is wrong?"
"Then your battlefield is not here, work. Of course, corporate actions cannot pay for national policies."
Murdoch walked closer to Danny until his reflection was reflected in the lens of the magic mirror. "Listen, there is no need to waste your time here. No matter what you say, I will not give up. We will see you in court."
"Very good, I'll be with you anytime."
"The law will judge your sins."
"Haha!" Danny showed a dangerous smile, "Maybe you want to try another method?"
The two people faced each other without giving an inch, like two roosters ready to fight at any time. Liu Zheng didn't understand why the two people were fine just now, but suddenly started to have sex. Could this be the legendary incompatibility?
Just when Liu Zheng was about to go up to break up the fight, Murdoch calmly took a few steps back and prepared to leave.
But he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at the corridor not far away with emotion, where a girl was walking towards him. She was very beautiful, with a bit of heroism between her eyebrows, and her hair
Her golden hair is casually spread over her shoulders. Her body is thinner than that of ordinary European and American young women, but she looks more slender and has straight and slender legs.
The girl acted swiftly and quickly came forward. However, she did not say hello quickly. Instead, she looked at Murdoch with complicated eyes. She hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth and saying, "Congratulations, Mr. Murdoch."
"Oh, uh...thank you, Miss Paige." Murdoch was lost for about a second before he responded calmly.
Skipping this awkward beginning, the conversation between the two quickly became smoother. Probably the two people had a very close relationship in the past.
The girl chuckled: "It's okay, you should be proud of yourself. Why don't you be a little proud? I won't tell others."
After saying that, both of them laughed softly.
"Are you here for an interview?"
"Yes." Paige smiled. She pointed to Liu Zheng and the others behind Murdoch and asked, "Is this your friend?"
"Uh... sort of..." This question really stopped Murdoch, and he didn't know how to answer it. He had made up his mind to never show those messy things in front of this girl again.
Danny Rand seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and extended his hand to the girl: "Excuse me, is this Ms. Karen Page, a special correspondent for the New York Gazette? It's an honor to meet you. I'm from the Rand Group.
Danny Rand.”
"Wow, you are Danny Rand! The son of President Rand who survived?!" Karen Page was so surprised that her eyes immediately shone. She never expected to see this here.
A man who is rumored to be more and more fantastic. Since he returned to New York and proved that he is indeed the Danny Rand who has been missing for more than ten years, many authoritative media have interviewed him, and he was even featured in "
The cover of People magazine! However, the Gazette has not had the opportunity to contact him so far. This is a good opportunity to discover first-hand news materials.
When she was at a loss for words to invite Danny Rand for a brief interview, the reporters who had gathered around the victim who had won the case suddenly started making noises. The boy's mother walked over quickly, grabbed Murdoch and said:
"Mr. Murdoch, the reporters want you to say a few words, come on."
It was impossible to miss the reporter's interview session, so Murdoch had no choice but to say "Excuse me" to Karen Page before being pulled away by her excited mother.
Karen Page looked at Murdoch's back, pondered for a moment, and invited Danny: "Mr. Rand, do you want to go have something to eat and chat by the way?"
"Okay, I'm very happy." Danny Rand had this intention and readily agreed. He turned back to Liu Zheng and said: "Brother, Ajian, let's go together. I know a Chinese restaurant nearby.
Absolutely authentic!”
Although there are many Chinese restaurants in New York, they have all been "improved" to suit the tastes of foreigners. The dishes either add ketchup or curry. No wonder Jessica mistakenly thought curry was Chinese food. Liu
I have been in New York for half a month, and the only time I had a late-night snack in Chinatown was to have some authentic taste of my hometown. The rest of the time, I ate those sweet and greasy European and American foods, and I was already tired of them.
However, he knew that Danny wanted to talk to this female reporter, and he didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist Danny's invitation, so he had to
Reluctantly agreed.
The restaurant they went to was called "Ro (Dragon King Restaurant)". It was very close to the Zhongcheng District Court. It was magnificently decorated and quite festive, which was in line with foreigners' impression of Chinese people. The boss and waiters were all from China.
The people who came here made Liu Zheng and the others feel very friendly, and the dishes they cooked were as Danny said, very authentic. They even got soy sauce and mature vinegar that are difficult to buy abroad.
Eating in the lobby of this kind of restaurant should be lively and lively, but because of the presence of a foreign beauty, Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian had no choice but to continue to behave like gentlemen and not be too presumptuous, and they had to speak awkwardly.
He spoke softly and was very unhappy. But Danny was already accustomed to the dining atmosphere abroad, so he chatted and laughed with Karen Page while eating, which was not inappropriate.
After the meal was over, the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks were removed and replaced with a full set of tea sets. Danny and Peggy seemed to have endless things to talk about. Liu Zheng was too lazy to listen to what they had to say. He just leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Luo Zhijian, who was sitting opposite, was already drowsy after eating and drinking enough.
Liu Zheng was looking at the pedestrians on the street in a daze, when suddenly a familiar figure entered his field of vision.
It was that lawyer, Matt Murdock. It seemed that he had officially finished his work for the day. He was carrying his shoulder bag, using the guide cane in his hand to find his way, and walked along the sidewalk across the street.
Liu Zheng's interest increased greatly. He wanted to know who this person was, so he reached out and shook Luo Zhijian awake. He said hello to Danny and Karen Paige. The two of them quickly walked out of the restaurant and followed him from a distance.
Behind Murdoch, the flow of people on the street merged.
"Danny, these two friends of yours are the brothers who practiced martial arts with you in Kunlun?" Karen Page had long been full of curiosity about these two Chinese people, and finally asked after they left.
"Oh, no. They are Jianghu friends I met in China, not from Kunlun. In fact, the terrain where we are located is very steep. It is difficult for people from outside to come in, and people from inside rarely go out."
Danny was not prepared to tell the truth. He was not stupid. Whatever he said to reporters would definitely be reported in the newspaper the next day. Liu Zheng's identity was strictly confidential, so of course he could not say it casually.
Karen Page looked at the door of the restaurant thoughtfully. Even though she was just a girl in her twenties, her thinking was much sharper than the average person. Otherwise, she would not have turned disaster into disaster many times over the years.
.In her opinion, these two friends of Danny Rand are definitely extraordinary. Whether it is their behavior or their demeanor, they are different from ordinary people like them, not to mention that Danny brought them to New York from China.
.
Who is Danny Rand? His identity as the legal heir of the Rand Group has long been made public, but not many people believe in the other identity he has been talking about - the so-called Kunlun Iron Fist. After all, the people on the Snowy Mountains
Whether it is a magical wonderland or an immortal dragon, it is still too incredible even for people who have seen aliens and monsters.
But Karen Page doesn’t see it that way. She can be said to be the closest person to a superhero. She is even one of the few people who knows the true identity of "Daredevil". Because she has seen too much, she has no understanding of all supernatural beings.
Things always have a heart of awe.
Ever since she wrote the article titled "What is a Hero" on the front page of the "Gazette" and sparked heated discussions in the city, one idea has been lingering in her mind, that is, opening a special chapter in the newspaper.
A column for New York's street vigilantes and superheroes.
She wants more people to know and understand those superpowers who help people behind the scenes but refuse to show up. These people may be just small figures in reality, but they continue to fight criminals and intimidate Xiaoxiao in the gaps between police jurisdiction.
Silently guarding this society. They should not hide in the darkness, be misunderstood or even slandered by others. They should be respected by more people and live openly under the sun.
Daredevil is one of them, and there is an invulnerable man in Harlem in the north of the city. Danny Rand in front of him is also a member of the group of talented people, and the two Chinese people who just left must be the same.
Why does she feel like there are more and more of these people?
Karen was thinking about her own things, with a smile still on her face. She hadn't gotten enough news from Danny Rand yet. This guy was so impeccable in his words. He was really annoying! Humph!
