Marvel World Mixed Life
Chapter 57 The World Is Always Changing
The papers call me a superhero,
I just saved New York!
But it's of no use,
Not even a tax exemption...
Li Mo looked at the tax return in front of him, and then looked at Matt and his partner Fergie in disbelief.
Yes, it's the annual tax filing season again, if it wasn't for little Lucas' reminder, Li Mo almost forgot about it.
For the cumbersome tax rules, Li Mo can't play at all, so please help Matt Murdoch. The final calculation result surprised him.
"Why has it increased so much? My turnover has not increased at all. You don't want to work for the IRS, do you?"
Li Mo looked at Matt vigilantly, this guy knew his details.
"It's not against you. Everyone in Hell's Kitchen is having a hard time." Foggy on the side shook his head helplessly, "We can hardly afford the rent of the law firm."
"Damn it, what happened? Did Fisk do it? I said you should have killed him!" Li Mo said angrily.
"It's the New York City government!" Matt shook his head and said, "But this day will come eventually. Let me ask you, what is this place?"
"Hell's Kitchen."
"What's next door?"
"Midtown Manhattan shopping district."
"That's why." Matt sighed and told the story in detail.
As one of the most developed cities in the world, New York has never been cheap. As the commercial center of New York, Manhattan is even more expensive.
Hell's Kitchen has not been effectively developed due to the historical reasons of multi-racial and gangsters, which has always been the heart disease of the New York City government.
Regardless of economics or face, it is like a piece of shit placed in the middle of a French meal.
As early as a few years ago, the New York government and some real estate developers began to focus on solving the problem of Hell's Kitchen.
They chose the softest and most poisonous method, and continued to invest in Hell's Kitchen and hype the land. In recent years, land prices have been soaring, and the living expenses of residents in Hell's Kitchen have been rising year after year. This will make many poor people, immigrants and gangsters gradually unable to live and evacuate here, and rich people will gradually move here...
"They call it urban gentrification," Fergie interjected mockingly.
Li Mo instantly understood, it really looks the same everywhere...
"Fortunately, I have extra income." Li Mo muttered softly.
Matt shook his head and said, "Lee, I know you made a lot of money selling pills on the black market. But I advise you to pay taxes."
"The two worst agencies in America are the IRS and the FRA. The latter is hard to see, and the former is everyone's nightmare. Know Al Capone?"
Li Mo nodded quickly.
Matt continued: "He has a saying that a machine gun is better than a submachine gun; pay the federal tax on time; and always wear a condom when you have sex."
The more Li Mo thought about it, the more distressed he became. The money was his hard-earned hard-earned money. Could it be that he just handed it over?
"Let those sons of bitches try it!" Li Mo shouted angrily,
"I don't like wearing condoms!"
After seeing off Matt and Fergie, Li Mo picked up the phone after thinking about it, "Hey, Coulson, for the sake of saving New York just now, do me a favor..."
Coulson still has some uses. Taking the special account from S.H.I.E.L.D. and all kinds of tax avoidance methods with clever names opened Li Mo's eyes.
"Awesome." Li Mo sighed, "You must have made a lot of money in normal times!"
Coulson hung up the phone with a dark face.
Li Mo shrugged, took a water glass, and went out happily.
Little Lucas went to contact the birthday party venue,
George took a leave of absence to recuperate physically and mentally,
Handicraft shops are habitually closed...
Why did Li Mo dare to go out swaggeringly?
Because as the heat of the news subsides, people seem to have gotten used to his presence.
Acquaintances are no longer surprised, but strangers... Well, Li Mo's appearance is too ordinary, plus Europeans and Americans are blind to Asians, few people know him when he walks on the street.
Even if someone looks like it, come up and ask. Li Mo will also reply: "Sorry, you got it wrong, my surname is Wang, and I live next door to your house..."
…
The sky after the rain was especially blue, and the warm sunlight shone down. The stores, fruit stalls and newsstands of street vendors seemed to be a little brighter than usual.
Li Mo came down from Jessica's apartment building helplessly. The Pseudonym Detective Agency closed the door. After calling, he learned that Jessica had a case to work on, and he had followed him to Los Angeles.
Not long after he went out, he met an acquaintance, his former good friend, Selena.
This woman was dragging a huge suitcase and was standing on the side of the street waiting for the car. When she saw Li Mo, she greeted him from a distance.
Li Mo stepped forward helplessly, "Hi, Selina, do you want to go out?"
"Oh, Lee, have you forgotten about me after becoming a superhero? Don't you like my waist and legs the most?" Selena jumped straight on her high heels.
"Then tonight!" Li Mo smiled, some rumors need to be clarified.
"Just kidding." Selena said with a smile, and finally her eyes became a little lonely, "I'm leaving New York."
"Why?" Li Mo asked a little strangely.
"Li, do you know that I actually learned to dance." Selena took a puff of a lady's cigarette, "When I was young, I came to New York with the dream of being a big star, and after my dream was broken, I wanted to become a Broadway actor. Slowly addicted to alcohol and marijuana, and started to accept some trades for a living."
"When I woke up one day, I realized that I had become a prostitute." Selena laughed at herself. "Maybe it was a wrong choice to come to New York from a ranch in Kentucky. My life has been ruined."
Li Mo sighed and said that he came to New York to pursue his dreams, but girls like Selina had many encounters every year.
Seeing that the girl was a little confused, Li Mo comforted her, "Actually, it's nothing. I'll teach you a way. You should have saved some money. Make yourself purer, go back to Kentucky and find an honest person, and make up a False experience, you can restart a life."
Selena's eyes lit up, "This method is good, can I tell my sisters?"
Li Mo nodded with some pain.
"You are my superhero." Selena kissed Li Mo hard on the face, "Goodbye, if you see me in the future, don't say you know me."
"I know." Li Mo shrugged, "Especially when there is an honest man next to you."
Seeing Selena's disappearing figure, Li Mo suddenly felt a little pain in his conscience.
…
Strolling along the way, Li Mo came to the small park he often went to. If Matt had not reminded him, he would not have noticed that there were more and more construction sites along the way.
Is this what Matt is talking about?
With the gradual increase in the cost of living, the vulgar hawkers, sneaky drug dealers, scantily clad street girls, impoverished artists, gangsters...
will slowly disappear.
Will it still be called Hell's Kitchen by then?
People may return to its original title,
Clinton District.
Li Mo doesn't sigh because the world is always changing, just like in this park,
Someone is actually cosplaying him?
Hehe, Li Mo smiled, even though he is not interested in being a superhero, at this moment his vanity is still slightly satisfied.
He stepped forward to look with great interest.
This costume is very realistic, look at the tentacles, tsk tsk...
And that person also stared at Li Mo carefully for a while, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face, "You are Li, oh my god! Dude, you saved New York."
"Do you want to take a group photo?" After asking, he looked at Li Mo expectantly.
Li Mo nodded with a smile, he was quite tolerant towards his fans.
Facing the mobile phone, the two made several joyful and funny moves.
After taking the photo, Li Mo was about to leave, but was stopped by this person,
"Thank you for your patronage, five dollars!"
