215. Downward thinking and the power of money (staying at home is contributing to the country!)

The old lady was kidnapped, and Tony and Ivan had a decisive battle. These two completely unrelated things happened at such a coincidental time.

and,

Devan has been monitoring Pierce, and he clearly understands that the other party only ordered the implementation of the "King of Gu Plan" while Devan was searching for the old lady.

The government's previous "sky-high reward" was not suppressed, and it was also because of Pierce's instruction.

Although there was no direct evidence, Tivan still guessed a possibility based on his intuition - could Pierce be worried that Tiwan would intervene in the "fight for the King of Gu" between Tony and Ivan, so he hired the Hand to kidnap the old lady to restrain him?

By the way,

Maybe he also wanted to touch Tiwan's trump card and kill two birds with one stone.

if not,

Tiwan really couldn't figure out, Mrs. Gao, what interaction did the Hand have with him?

Mrs. Gao's largest partner, "Jinbin" Fiske, was also a loyal customer of Tiwan. He lost a large sum of gold coins during the first meeting.

above all,

Regardless of whether this blame belongs to Hydra or not, Tivan still decided to solve this problem in the near future.

Only a person who commits a thousand days can be a thief. How can a person who can spend a thousand days guard against thieves?

We can't let Tomei, Peter and the old lady live in the Void Sanctuary until SHIELD collapses a few years later, right?

and,

This time it can't just be a knock-off, it must be "reached a consensus" with Pierce.

"It's definitely not possible to rely on talk. We can only reach a consensus by force."

"It just so happened that I had a 'breakup' with the preserved egg recently, so I can take advantage of this relationship."

"To show off the muscles, you also need to give some sweetness, but this sweetness cannot increase the Hydra's combat power too much."

"If this is the case...then this...will this be the case..."

A plan gradually took shape in Tiwan's mind.

···

Early the next morning,

Tiwan came to Nelson Murdoch Law Firm and was warmly received by Fergie.

He still fully thought that Tiwan was going to give him a big new business when he came this time.

But Dewan asked to have a private chat with Murdoch by name.

"Ah? With Murdoch?" Foggy's big round face was a little confused: "When did your relationship become so... Oh, okay, I happen to have a case to deal with, so I'll go out first?"

Tiwan just nodded, and Murdoch added: "Be careful on the road."

Fergie: "..."

Having said this, Fergie could only look at Murdoch with resentment, pick up his briefcase and run away.

After secretary Karen poured hot water on the two of them, she consciously left the room to leave room for conversation.

As soon as Karen left,

Murdoch immediately stood up from his chair and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Chen, they don't know my identity yet. Why are you here today?"

"I said, I will pay you." Tiwan took a sip of water and said, "One billion US dollars, how are you going to pay for it?"

This question made Murdoch look obviously confused, as if he had never thought about this question at all.

He also explained it this way: "I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you. I was not aiming at... from the beginning."

"No matter what your original intention is, my promise cannot be changed because of this." Tiwan interrupted forcefully: "I promised one billion US dollars, so I must give it out. All you can choose is how to pay.

"

Murdoch fell silent.

Ten seconds later,

He said with difficulty: "I still maintain my original belief. I will not ask for this money. If you really want to keep your promise, then please use this money for last night's post-disaster repairs."

The term Murdoch uses here is "post-disaster" restoration.

In his eyes,

What happened in New York last night was a disaster—or, more appropriately, a man-made disaster caused by humans.

It was full of disapproval of Tiwan's actions. If he hadn't known that the other party shouldered a heavier responsibility and that he was far from his opponent, Murdoch might have taken action to "teach Tiwan a lesson".

I have to say that Murdoch is very talented and still dares to "tell the truth" even when he is on the weak side.

But Tiwan felt that Murdoch was making a fuss out of a molehill and said, "I just issued a large-scale bounty. It's not that serious, right?"

Murdoch turned his head and moved his ears, as if listening to Tiwan's heartbeat, trying to discern the authenticity of his words.

Tiwan sat calmly, that's what he was thinking - it was just a bounty mission, even though there were more people participating because the amount was larger, how big of a deal could it be?

Murdoch understood that the magician in front of him had a bit of a "why not eat minced meat" look. Being in a high position made him lose the ability to "think downwards".

He intended to let the facts speak for themselves.

Murdoch took out his office computer and opened the news channel, which happened to be broadcasting last night's "sky-high price bounty" report.

"...The billion-dollar bounty ended at 4:05 last night. We still don't know which lucky person will get this gift."

"However, during the thirteen hours that this bounty lasted, the direct losses to New York far exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and the indirect losses have not yet been estimated."

"According to data provided by relevant departments, the crime rate in New York increased by 12 percentage points during the period when the reward was offered. In the other four boroughs outside Queens, a total of 74 burglaries, 134 shop smashings, and 125 rapes of women occurred.

, 21 cases of rape of men, 13 cases of gang fights..."

"There have also been many bad incidents in Queens, including hundreds of stampedes and conflicts. The exact number is still being calculated."

"The injuries currently being counted are as follows: 1,241 people were slightly injured, 314 people were seriously injured, and 14 people died."

"Currently, the direct economic losses under statistics amount to 1.4457 billion, which are mainly caused by vehicle losses, damaged stores, stolen goods, and bank robberies."

···

Tiwan didn't listen to the more reports that followed. He just felt like his head was buzzing.

no,

He just posted a reward for missing persons. At most, the price of the reward was too high. How could it cause so many deaths, injuries, and economic losses?

If Murdoch hadn't pointed it out, Tiwan might not have even known about it.

He suddenly remembered,

Tony said before: "The power of money is far beyond your imagination. It is more powerful than magic and power."

Listening to the reported data,

Tivan knows that given the poor nature of the official news media, these figures are probably just a guarantee.

When we calculate it later, the numbers will definitely far exceed these.

This time it was Tivan's turn to be silent.

Murdoch didn't say anything. What Tiwan needed now was to think for himself. He didn't think he could guide this being.

I don’t know how long it took,

Tiwan sighed quietly, stood up and said: "I know, this time it is indeed my fault. Your one billion US dollars will be converted into 1.25 million gold coins. The next time my magician auction is held,

You can come and participate, and the gloves on your hands will only be at the bottom of the auction."

Murdoch wanted to refuse, but Tiwan was the first to say: "This world is far more dangerous than you think. I will face a big guy in a few days. Then I will take you over to have a look, and you can decide whether to refuse."

After hearing this, Murdoch thought carefully for a few seconds before nodding and saying: "Then I'll trouble you."

"No, I should be the one to thank you." Tiwan said sincerely: "I never realized what I had in hand. It was you who made me realize this. In fact, before this..."

He thought of the experimental base outside New York, because of his plan, countless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were buried deep underground.

Finally,

Tiwan stood up, left a message, "Explain your identity to your friends as soon as possible," opened the portal and left.

Murdoch stood there for a while, thinking about what Tiwan just said.

The "big guy" he mentioned - a being that could make this person stand still or press him to the floor and rub him, even felt "big". How terrifying was it?

"This world is always more dangerous than I imagined."

"My ability is not enough to protect everyone. Fergie and the others...it's better that they don't know my identity."

Murdoch sighed and walked out of the living room alone.

Karen, who was guarding the front desk, saw him coming out alone, and asked in confusion: "Huh? Why did you come out? Don't you have to accompany that big client? Fergie ordered you to be careful with the reception."

Murdoch's heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

I forgot to remind Tivan to go out - mainly because Tivan opened the portal too fast - how to explain the sudden disappearance of a large living person?

If it had been anyone else, Murdoch would have fooled him.

But Karen...he can't be fooled like that.

He could only bite the bullet and say: "Hello... Karen, if I say that the person who climbed through the window left... would you believe it?"

Karen:[?_??]
