Counterworld Manhattan, 890 Fifth Avenue.

Inside the Dark Avengers base.

Colin opened his eyes and moved his stiff body.

In the real world, he has already boarded the train back to New York, and what he has to face next is another round of long-distance travel.

Taking advantage of the time to return to the real world, Colin focused more attention on New York, the counter-world.

"...New York Mayor Wilson Fisk has been discharged from the hospital and will return to municipal work. Previously, Wilson was hospitalized for treatment due to an attack by the anti-registration bill 'Spider-Man'."

"According to reports, Wilson's injuries have basically returned to normal. When reporters asked Wilson how he felt when he left, he gave the reporters a thumbs up. At the same time, he briefly accepted an interview and stated that he would not be affected by the previous attack.

And retreating will continue to promote the implementation of executive orders..."

"You (anti-registrationists) think you can defeat me through such means, but I am here to promise the citizens of New York City that as long as I, Wilson Fisk, am the mayor of New York City, I will never give up fighting these illegal crimes.

The protestors’ struggle, New York City does not need your protection, get out of this city!”

The 'Spider-Man' attacks provided ample excuse for Kingpin to push forward plans against registered superheroes.

Since the incident, the number of superhero activities throughout New York City has been significantly reduced. Some heroes who were originally active on the streets have also given up their actions against criminals due to the influence of public opinion.

Most of the people who did not know the truth were affected by Kingpin's remarks and began to show some disgust towards the superheroes in New York City.

According to the latest polls, more than 50% of New Yorkers believe that anti-registration superheroes may cause harm. Before Kingpin was attacked and hospitalized, only about 15% of New Yorkers believed this.

That’s it. New York suddenly changed from the city that welcomes superheroes to the city that hates them.

In the temporary residence, Colin determined Howard's location through [super hearing].

Then he took a deep breath, and in the blink of an eye, he changed his clothes back into the outfit of "Frontline" reporter Clark Kent.

In front of the mirror, Colin adjusted his glasses and checked his appearance.

Since unlocking Superman's [Super Speed] ability, the originally tight time seems to have suddenly become much more abundant.

"How's it going? Is there any result?"

Coming to the console, Colin looked at the silent Howard and asked.

Shaking his head, Howard turned his head and paused for a moment at Colin's reporter attire before answering in a hoarse voice: "No."

"In fact, I have hacked into the entire New York City surveillance equipment and found no flaws."

Following Howard's answer, Tony in the base also said: "It seems that Kingpin has been prepared."

During this time, Colin has been working hard to find clues to prove Spider-Man's innocence.

However, it is obvious that this is not easy, and even with the help of the rebels, not much useful evidence has been found.

"It looks like our Spider-Man is going to be out of a job."

Even after becoming an artificial intelligence, Tony is still so annoying.

Ignoring Tony's voice, Colin's eyes scanned the dense surveillance screens on the console, and he quickly made a decision.

"Howard, I need you to do me a favor."

A faint blue light flashed in the mechanical eyes in the eye sockets. Howard looked at Colin in front of him and said silently.

"explain."

The emotional contrast between you father and son is quite big.

Muttering in his mind about Howard and Tony's reactions to each other, Colin took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

"I need some evidence of Kingpin's connection to the underground, from any time."

Upon hearing Colin's request, the pupils in Howard's mechanical eyes automatically shrank: "What are your plans?"

Colin nodded and did not hide his purpose: "The reason why New York citizens trust Kingpin is because in the minds of the citizens, he is a self-made successful businessman, and once they know that the business they support will

The mayor himself is not clean, so he will naturally be suspicious of what he does."

"Once a crisis of trust occurs, it cannot be solved with just a few words."

Since there is no way to find evidence of Spider-Man's innocence, then simply drag Kingpin into the water and muddy the issue.

“Nice idea.”

After hearing Colin's solution, Howard didn't wait for him to speak.

In front of the console, a large amount of data began to flash on the screen, and soon some photos of young Jin Bin appeared on the screen.

"Obviously, Kingpin is very careful about his underground identity and will basically not expose it easily. Especially after the power in his hands gradually expanded, many clues related to him have been processed, including records in the police system.

Same."

"However, Kingpin seemed not to be so cautious when he was young."

What Tony found was a report from 20 years ago about the poor security in Hell's Kitchen. The name of a gang at the time was mentioned in the report, and Kingpin appeared in one of the blurry photos. Because of the shooting

Due to the angle, the photo is not very clear, and we can only vaguely connect the strong figure above with Jin Bin's appearance.

Because of its age and the reason for the newspaper's collapse, not many people noticed the content above. Even Kingpin did not notice the news report and did not destroy it.

If it weren't for Tony's search, this old news report would probably have been lost in history.

"Thanks, Tony."

Looking at Kingpin's blurry figure in the news report photo, the corners of Colin's mouth turned up slightly.

He thanked Tony in the base, even if the other person was just an artificial intelligence system created by Howard.

"You're welcome. For me, this is just a job that can be done casually."

"However, I need to remind you that this blurry photo alone may not be able to bring down Kingpin who has become the mayor of New York."

"Actually, that's just right."

Shaking his head, Colin had a different view on this.

"For the media, it is precisely because of ambiguity that there is an opportunity to create public opinion. If the result is too certain, it loses the possibility of manipulation."

Originally, it was impossible to really remove Kingpin from power based on this news report alone.

In this case, it is better not to say it so clearly, but to give readers who see the news more room for imagination.

Create a crisis of trust.
