Marvel Reverses Wolverine
Chapter 59 I can spend a whole day with you like this
Jay Gatsby's mind was working rapidly, and he quickly screened the troubles he might have encountered recently and the people he might have offended.
He has delayed many important businesses and events for too long for the sake of the woman he loves most in his heart.
He even suspected that his partner Meyer Wolfshim, the gang leader who could do anything, wanted to burn bridges.
But when he was given a new luxury car that he had never seen before by this group of people who acted extremely professionally and quickly, and arrived at a secret manor in East Egg, Mr. Gatsby, who had always been astute, also Totally confused.
He looked at this large-scale, but not luxurious, simple-style manor, and tried his best to remember which rich man the H-shaped emblem was.
Until he entered the living room and saw a very tall and handsome young man sitting in front of him, he didn't think of a reason.
"This gentleman, I don't think we know each other, I am -"
"Jay Gatsby, whose real name is James Katz, was originally a poor farmer's son from North Dakota. He served as a lieutenant in a military training camp and then participated in the war. He performed outstandingly because of the special training of meritorious officers. Attended Oxford for five months.”
James said as he walked over, sat down, lit a cigar and continued.
"Having a close relationship with the gang leader Meyer Wolfsheim, they collaborated to illegally sell bootleg liquor in pharmacies, secretly manipulate stocks in violation of regulations, and made a lot of wealth in just a few years. They held parties in his mansion for five consecutive years. To attract”
James didn't say anything clearly in the end. He stopped and looked at this man who was originally confident and calm from his hair to his heels, and gradually became dumbfounded.
Gatsby's face turned a little red. He took two deep breaths and asked James with a confident smile: "What do you want?"
James nodded, blew out the smoke, and said with some satisfaction: "You are quite smart without a woman."
"I want you to do something for me. Before it is completed, your personal safety will be guaranteed by me. After it is completed, I will give you a future that no matter how rich you are ten times, you can't afford it."
Gatsby suddenly smiled. His smile was contagious, even if it was a bit sarcastic, it was not annoying at all.
"I don't know what personal safety problem I have, this unknown gentleman." Gatsby said quietly.
"Recently, your private wine has been on fire everywhere. You have been avoiding Meyer Wolfshim for a long time. There are more and more tricks in the stock market. Do you want to continue talking about how many people are watching you?"
"What do you want me to do?"
James handed him a cigar and said easily: "Buy a piece of land."
After Jay Gatsby left, Asazzo suddenly appeared. He landed on the sofa and asked in confusion: "Dad, this is the first time I see you working so hard on an ordinary person. Is it necessary?" .”
James glanced at Asazo and said seriously: "My shadow cannot appear in this matter, and there cannot be any information related to the Howlett family. I want someone who can challenge me when I turn over the card table in the future. There was no sound."
On October 29, 1929, crowds gathered on Wall Street in New York. The stock market plummeted that day, and desperate people fell from the rooftops of the Wall Street Stock Exchange buildings in twos and threes.
Stock market prices hit rock bottom, and a worldwide economic depression ensued, which was unprecedented in intensity and duration.
Because many countries paid their war debts, money continued to flow into the United States. The United States' gold reserves reached half of the world's total gold reserves in ten years.
However, there is an imbalance in domestic and foreign investment, workers' wages lag behind rising productivity, and many independent banks lack sufficient financial resources to overcome the financial crisis. After a bank fails, depositors from all over the country withdraw money one after another, creating a situation that undermines the entire financial structure. chain reaction.
By the end of 1933, the effects of the Great Depression finally showed signs of reversal, but homeless vagrants and street gangs with unkind faces staring at people's bodies could still be seen everywhere.
In Brooklyn, in the alley next to the Hull Kitchen Community, a short and thin white boy walked out with a paper shopping bag in his arms. He took a shortcut today and was preparing to go home through the back door of the "Secret Factory" .
The secret factory is what the residents of Brooklyn call the Howlett Institute of Advanced Technology. Most people don’t understand the so-called institute, but this factory, which covers the largest area in Brooklyn, has something going on all the time. Tight security personnel patrolled the area.
Large container vehicles and military vehicles often come in and out. Some people who work in the factory will only say that the job benefits are good and the salary is sufficient, but they will not reveal a word about what they saw inside, so they are called secrets. factory.
"What did you get?"
Several young boys wearing baggy shirts suddenly came out and blocked the thin young man.
"It's just some food." The young man spoke as calmly as possible, but his steps stepped back unconsciously.
"We're hungry too, take it out."
The boy's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he said seriously: "This is for my mother, she is sick."
The tall and lanky boy in the lead chuckled, and he said strangely: "The patient is the worst one who can't eat. I don't think she will mind, so bring it."
The boy hugged the bag on his chest tighter, bang! He was kicked to the ground, and the bread and some fruits that didn't look too fresh tumbled out of the bag.
Several young people came up to pick up the food inside, but the young man didn't intend to just hand it over to them.
"Hey! I think you little chick is quite stubborn!"
He was too thin, so he was knocked to the ground by two punches from the tall and thin boy. He also knocked over the trash can on the corner.
The young man picked up the lid of the trash can and held it in front of him. He wiped his nose, looked at the blood that was flowing out, took a breath, and shouted loudly: "I can spend a whole day with you like this!"
boom!
The lid of the trash can was kicked off, and several boys surrounded the thin boy, punched and kicked him, cursed and walked away with the food.
The skinny boy slowly propped himself up, sat up, rubbed his back, and leaned against the fence of a step. He straightened his dirty, unfitting jacket, and looked lonely at it, which was already torn. shopping bags.
"What do you think, you are going to keep resisting such conditions?"
A tall man with half-long hair was sitting on the steps. He was facing the light, so the boy could not see his face clearly.
"My mother said that people like me who are easily bullied must not retreat. If you do it even once, you will never get up in this life."
The young man's words seemed to be explaining, but more like cheering himself up. He rubbed his cheek, which was throbbing with pain.
"It sounds like she is a courageous person. She often thinks like this and her life is not easy. Let's go -"
The man patted his pants, stood up, and said to the boy.
"Who, me? Go, where?"
He finally saw the man's face clearly. He was handsome and handsome. He didn't look very old. The four slightly pointed long canine teeth exposed when he smiled were particularly eye-catching.
"Of course, let your mother see her heroic image as a son who never backs down."
The foreshadowing chapter is coming to an end. In order to make the story and the characters appearing in this volume more realistic and unobtrusive, I did some background research and completed some content.
