Chapter 678: Team Formation (Im so sleepy, Ill update 2,000 words first, and then Ill make up for it) Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
The story begins with Luke escaping from the laboratory. Luke's identity is now considered a black man, because legally, he is already a dead person, and he does not dare to use his real name. He changed his name from Carl.
Lucas changed into the current Luke Cage. Then he lived in seclusion in Harlem. This area was introduced before. It used to be a very chaotic place, but it has gotten better in recent years, but gangs are still rampant and poverty is spreading.
place, but compared to Hell's Kitchen, there is still this basic order here.
There are many illegal immigrants here, and no one cares where you come from, which is why Luke chose to live in seclusion here.
Luke's life here can't be said to be good, but he can barely make ends meet. He found two jobs here, one as a cleaner in a barber shop owned by Henry Hunter, the former gangster's "dad", and the other
He worked as a dishwasher in the Harlem Paradise, a nightclub owned by Cornell Stokes. While making a living, he also tried to hide himself in the crowd and not attract attention.
It's a pity that bad luck doesn't seem to let him go. Something happened just recently.
His two bosses were at war with each other.
As the Viper Gang's power expanded, they also began to plan to do more profitable businesses. This happened to coincide with the government launching a renovation project in Harlem. The government planned to push all the old communities in Harlem to rebuild.
, this has two advantages. First, it can completely change the dirty and messy situation in Harlem, and second, it can fundamentally improve the security of Harlem.
But how does pushing it to old communities have anything to do with public security?
Of course there is a relationship, and it's a big relationship.
As I said before, public security has a lot to do with the economy. Nowadays, Harlem has cheaper housing prices and cheaper rents, so many low-income people and illegal immigrants choose to live here. These people will not only bring security
Problem, and it can’t drive much consumption at all. Without consumption, there will be no taxes. Low housing prices will naturally lead to low property taxes. If taxes are low, the police and public services will receive less funds. Less funds will naturally lead to poor social security. Poor social security
, just continue to keep housing prices from rising, which will naturally attract low-income people and illegal immigrants...and so on.
In this vicious cycle, Harlem naturally cannot recover.
Therefore, in order to fundamentally solve the problem, the government will launch a renovation plan and also increase the rent level in the area, which is equivalent to driving away low-income people and illegal immigrants in disguise. (This is what Hell's Kitchen does in reality)
Once public security improves, it will naturally improve.
In short, this policy cannot be said to be bad, and it certainly cannot be said to be good.
Because they never thought about solving the fundamental problem, which is poverty! They just drove the poor away and then ignored them. Those people who were driven away were just moved to another place, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Of course this is also an opportunity for some people.
The United States still cares a lot about private property, so the compensation for demolition is quite good.
Those who own real estate can receive a substantial amount of compensation.
But these people are not satisfied.
Some people want more.
And some people simply don't want to move.
This is understandable.
The truly abominable ones are those who plan to fish in troubled waters.
The Viper Gang is this kind of person.
They colluded with government officials and planned to obtain the property rights from those real estate owners at a low price, and then negotiate terms with the government with a large amount of property rights. Then they would cut the government's leeks together.
"Papa" Henry Hunter, the barber shop owner who took Luke Cage in, was one of those people who was unwilling to move. He had lived in Harlem all his life and had no intention of moving away. Of course the Viper Gang was not happy.
This affects their ability to make money!
The Viper Gang wants to bully his benefactor, and Luke certainly can't just sit back and watch.
So the conflict unfolded.
Of course, there are also some personal grudges mixed in. One of the leaders of the Viper Gang, "Rattlesnake" Willis Stryker, was the one who framed Luke for imprisonment. At the same time, Willis was Luke's half-father.
Mother's brother, in short, complicated.
Then the war between Luke and the Viper Gang broke out.
Then there was this scene in front of me.
…
Due to Matt's participation, the battle ended quickly. After all, the Viper Gang had nothing to do with Luke Cage. Adding Matt to the mix... would be even less fun.
"Daredevil?" After the battle, Luke Cage walked up to Matt wearing rags and stretched out his hand.
Matt shook hands without hesitation and said, "It's me."
"Why did you end up in Harlem? I remember you were always in Hell's Kitchen."
Daredevil is still somewhat well-known in New York. Of course, the media has never been very interested in Daredevil. After all... he is not cool! Look at Batman, look at Iron Man, how cool it is, but War Machine
Not bad. But what does Daredevil have? A simple fight with fists to the flesh, or that tight red leather suit?
What era has it been, even tights are no longer popular in superhero comics?
But this Luke not only recognized Matt at a glance, which shows that this person has been collecting information in this area.
"We originally planned to destroy the Viper Gang's warehouse, but..." Matt pointed to the burning warehouse. "Why don't you call the fire alarm? If you don't, it could get out of control at any time."
"Fuck! I forgot!" Luke hurried to the public phone booth on the side.
Looking at this man, Matt felt that he and he would definitely get along.
Matt was just about to ask Batman for his opinion, but found that Batman left at some point.
This made Matt a little strange.
But considering Batman's elusiveness, I wasn't too surprised.
Come to think of it, with Batman's aloofness, he probably wouldn't be able to chat with people he meets for the first time.
After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Matt and Luke left the scene together.
…
"I will definitely help with this! When I saw those children being kidnapped and killed on the news, I wanted to find trouble with those guys!"
Luke Cage is a man with a strong sense of justice. Although he has a strong sense of the market, he is definitely a good person. When he heard that Matt was recruiting teammates to fight against the Hand and the Union, he agreed without saying a word.
However, Luke Cage also made a request, that is, he hopes that Matt can also provide help to him to fight against the Viper Gang.
Matt readily agreed to this. Anyway, as long as he was fighting crime, he was fine.
Then Luke curiously asked if there were any other teammates.
Matt thought about it and said Batman.
"Really?!!" Luke's eyes widened and his mouth widened as he exclaimed in surprise.
Matt was a little embarrassed to be shouted out by Luke. Because Batman seemed to have only said that he would use batarangs to contact him when needed, but not about forming a team.
"No, no, no, Batman just said that if I encounter difficulties, I can call him for help."
"Is that so..." Luke was a little disappointed.
But he soon recovered. He thought this was normal. Batman's character was widely circulated and he was famous for being aloof. And Luke also felt that Batman should be like this. He is a superhero.
On the contrary, in Luke's opinion, Matt is much more approachable to the people. Luke has his own set of criteria for classification. People like him and Matt who work on the streets are vigilantes at best, not superheroes.
Superheroes should come and go high and have various special effects when fighting.
