Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Wrath of Kinbire
As the sun dipped below the horizon, its fading rays streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the top-floor office in the Fisk Tower, illuminating the figure seated on a specially crafted luxurious office chair, resembling a mountain of flesh.
Bathed in the faint golden glow refracted by his skin, the imposing face of this individual came into view. Intimidating enough to bring tears to the eyes of many children, he was bald, donning a white suit, towering over two meters in height, and weighing over two hundred kilograms.
Yet, he was not the typical obese figure; underneath the custom-made white suit lay hidden an abundance of astonishing muscles, akin to a coiled dragon, brimming with unparalleled power.
He was Kinberg, Wilson Grant Fisk, the emperor of the New York underworld and even the entire North American underworld!
The Fisk Tower served as Kinberg's stronghold, located on the border of Hell's Kitchen and adjacent to the Brooklyn district. Even Kinberg disliked having his abode entirely situated in the chaos of Hell's Kitchen.
At this moment, Kinberg sat there, gazing down at the footage playing on the computer screen before him.
The footage depicted a blond youth viciously beating up thugs. With golden medium-length hair flowing, clad in a white robe, and wielding a peculiar weapon known as a "kunai," the youth dispatched the thugs effortlessly.
Although the thugs being beaten were no match for the blond youth, they remained arrogant, shouting insults as they were pummeled: "You brat! We're under Kinberg's command. Don't get too cocky!"
However, the blond youth, known as Bob Wind Watergate, paid them no heed, not even altering his gaze. Without a word, he transformed into a flash of gold, instantly incapacitating the thugs, leaving them bruised and unconscious.
Undoubtedly, this was Bob Wind Watergate played by Wu Chen!
This footage was captured two days ago, back when Wu Chen was still diligently working on his portrayal of Bob Wind Watergate, having accepted a mission from the Shield Bureau for that purpose.
After completing his mission and bidding farewell to Natasha, he encountered these thugs.
Wu Chen didn't provoke or engage in any other actions; he simply walked past them, intending to buy an ice cream cone. However, the thugs took offense to Bob Wind Watergate and confronted him, provoking him.
As a result, Wu Chen didn't waste any words, swiftly delivering a beating to them, even after they mentioned Kinberg's name, showing no intention of relenting.
After all, Wu Chen initially planned to clean up the entire Hell's Kitchen, and Kinberg and his forces were within that scope.
It's like being afraid when your pet chicken announces the name of another rooster it's raised.
However, others who were unaware of this situation didn't see it that way.
In the top-floor office of the Fisk Tower, there were several other individuals, but without exception, no one dared to interrupt Kinberg at this moment.
The prolonged silence did not bring tranquility; instead, it felt like deeper darkness corroding the sunlight, enveloping everyone in the office.
"I wonder if I've lurked in the darkness for too long, causing people to forget the significance of the name 'Kinberg'?" After a long pause, Kinberg uttered these words in a deep voice.
"No! Your name has always been circulated in the darkness, and everyone submits to your shadow!" replied the man dressed in a tight black outfit promptly.
"Then why would there be someone who ignores and challenges my reputation?" Kinberg's voice grew fierce.
Although the video of Bob Wind Watergate beating the Hulk and the Green Giant had already been uploaded to YouTube, under the intervention of the Shield Bureau, such videos had been partially banned.
When Wu Chen learned of this situation, he also questioned the Shield Bureau, but after the explanation, he didn't dwell on it further.
It was because the Shield Bureau offered too much money.
A mere trifle that didn't affect Wu Chen at all, yet the Shield Bureau apologized and handed him a check for five hundred thousand, truly showing their wealth and generosity!
However, this check needed to be converted into money before it could be used, so it wasn't recognized by the System Mall.
The reason the Shield Bureau did this was not because they didn't want to see Bob Wind Watergate become famous, but because they felt it was too ostentatious, and it would be more effective to use Bob Wind Watergate as a trump card quietly.
Moreover, they had the special effects company come forward, claiming that the circulating footage was special effects from a movie and building anticipation for the possible release of next year's "Ninja vs. Giant" blockbuster.
Therefore, many uninformed individuals believed this explanation, especially since it was officially endorsed.
Kinberg and his men were no exception, although he was about to become mayor, Kinberg still couldn't access real secrets.
As they spoke, Kinberg stood up, his massive figure casting a huge shadow, his towering physique and the distinct muscle lines under his white suit making him appear both dark and destructive.
The man who had just spoken with Kinberg immediately stood up, saying at the same time, "Although I don't know how that guy managed to flash around, I think he's just an inconsequential little pawn."
