Reborn in Marvel: I am proficient in all kinds of American Iai

After arranging these things, Luke saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Frank to take Damon and his daughter to observe the mission.

Lilith stayed in the hotel as the head of the temporary command center.

Heather will be filling in for Lilith as Luke's secretary tonight.

Originally, Luke wanted Heather to attend the negotiation as his female companion, but Heather insisted on changing into an OL outfit.

As the agreed time was approaching, Luke had no choice but to agree.

There is not enough time to punish her now, wait until she comes back in the evening...

Frank's team mainly deals with gangsters and ordinary people.

The evening was all about the underworld and the otherworldly, so Johnny and Eric changed into suits.

After Abraham, the old and weak, was cured by Luke, he became rejuvenated.

The takeaways I ordered had to be "fresh". I couldn't eat the leftovers anymore...

However, Luke still didn't let him follow, but instead asked him to accompany Damon and his daughter.

Apart from field missions to kill aliens, Maizi never participates in any other activities.

So, Luke only brought three people tonight, Heather, Johnny, and Eric.

Luke has enough confidence and strength.

Johnny alone can crush everyone present.

What makes Luke different from other novel protagonists is that he likes to use his brain and doesn't like to do things with his hands.

That's the difference in origin.

Luke did not come from an ordinary family in his previous life. His different background and environment led to a different way of thinking.

When people at the bottom of society have superpowers, they like to do things themselves, just like nouveau riche, fearing that others will look down on them.

People at the top never put themselves in danger.

With subordinates and power, why do you have to do it yourself?

This is not determined by power, but by the way of thinking.

It is always the soldiers, not the generals, who charge into battle.

In history, few emperors and generals who charged into battle had a good ending.

Therefore, the different way of thinking has resulted in Luke having fewer and fewer opportunities to take action.

Unless there are emergencies or accidents, Luke's men are more than enough to handle daily affairs.

In Luke’s own words: I’m so rich now, why do I have to do it myself?

The negotiations took place in the restaurant next to the Continental Hotel.

The place where I had dinner with Winston and Jonathan was less than a hundred meters away from the Continental Hotel.

It was necessary to clear the area in advance, and all areas in the restaurant had been checked by Winston's men.

As a middleman and witness, Winston is still very responsible.

Johnny, as the driver, drove the roadblock to the door of the restaurant.

Heather was particularly attractive today... Luke still arrived at the restaurant on time.

Eric helped Luke open the car door. After Luke got out of the car, Heather hurried forward to help Luke tidy up his clothes.

When I walked into the restaurant, I saw Winston.

After shaking hands, Winston introduced an elegantly dressed old Asian lady next to him.

"This is Mrs. Gao of the Hand; this is Mr. Luke Dutton."

Madame Gao and Luke did not shake hands.

Both sides just nodded slightly.

It can be seen that the atmosphere is not very friendly.

There was no way out; the Hand was forced to find Luke and seek peace.

In Japan, no senior officials dare to help them.

But in the end, they paid a huge price before the other party agreed to give them some time to find a solution.

This is the biggest concession that the Japanese top leaders can make.

When the time comes, all previous friendships will be of no use.

Arriving at the restaurant's private room, Luke met several other people.

Madam Gao introduced them as elders of the Hand.

Including Mrs. Gao, there are five people in total.

Luke didn't care.

The only people in the box were Luke, Winston, Mrs. Gao and the four elders.

The entourage was left in the hall by Winston's assistant, the bespectacled black man named Charon.

There weren't many people from the Hand, they just looked like drivers and assistants.

In the box, after both parties took their seats, Winston gave a brief opening speech and then let the two parties talk on their own while he just watched the show.

Mrs. Gao was usually arrogant, but in front of the Continental Hotel, she didn't dare to be too ostentatious.

Mainland hotels are chain organizations, and if you offend them, you will be hunted down by the whole world.

After calming down, Mrs. Gao said to Luke:

"Mr. Dutton, I'm sorry about what happened last time..."

Luke held up his hand, interrupting her.

"We are all smart people, so there is no need to say meaningless nonsense, just state the conditions directly."

Mrs. Gao and several elders looked at each other and took out a document.

"This is the price we pay and we hope Mr Dutton will stop persecuting the adversary group."

Luke picked up the file and shook his finger.

"Remind you, this is not persecution, nor is it suppression, nor is it revenge... It is just normal business and political behavior."

Mrs. Gao and the others were upset by Luke's words.

This is the first time I have seen such an official statement...

Luke looked at the documents and found that the industries taken out by the Hand were basically small companies with little income.

Luke threw the document on the table before he finished reading it.

"This amount of resources is not even enough to cover our business service consulting fees."

There was no change in the expressions of Mrs. Gao and the others. Apparently, in negotiations, it was a matter of back and forth, so they used some small things first to test the other party's attitude.

It was obvious that Luke was not satisfied with his attitude, so today's negotiations would obviously cost the Hand a lot of money.

"Mr. Dutton, you should also know what kind of group we are. We are not regular businessmen and do not have so many clean assets."

Luke spread his hands.

"Then what are you guys still talking about? Just disband."

This arrogant attitude made one of the elders angry and he wanted to stand up and do something, but Mrs. Gao held him back and he did not stand up.

"Dutton, sir, what do you want?"

Luke spread his hands.

"Nothing, just normal business and political activities. You came to ask me for help, not me asking you for help."

Mrs. Gao sighed.

"Mr. Dutton, please make your request. As long as we have it, we will definitely agree to it."

Luke smiled, took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed it.

Heather, who was drinking coffee with Eric outside, suddenly froze, her whole body trembled, she clamped her legs together, and her face flushed.

Eric is not an ordinary person, so he can naturally hear the "sound of the vibrating cell phone".

He understands the ways of the world, and he himself has a expressionless face, drinking coffee with an expressionless face.

Heather pushed up her frameless glasses, picked up the briefcase on the table and walked towards the private room...

He pushed the door open, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Luke.

Then she gave him a seductive look and left.

Luke pushed the file to Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao and the others picked up the document and looked at it for a few seconds, and their faces turned even uglier.

"This is too much..." the elder couldn't help but shout out.

But this time he was still held back by Mrs. Gao.

Winston leaned back in the middle chair and looked towards Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao remained very calm.

"Mr. Dutton, we agree to all your requests, but can you give me the land next to Hell's Kitchen? I will buy it for double the price."

Luke could see that what the Hand really cared about was that piece of land.

This Mrs. Gao seemed to be a very shrewd person, and she remained calm and rational throughout the whole process.

Normally, this kind of person would be very difficult to deal with at the negotiating table, but she just gave up the opportunity to fight for her interests and just wanted that piece of land.

What does this mean? It means that there is something under this piece of land that they are willing to get at any cost.

Luke hated the Hand and would be happy to wipe out this group of scum.

However, Luke is not a reckless man, nor is he the kind of person who relies on superpowers to fight and kill.

The Hand Society must be dealt with, but the benefits gained must be taken now.

It's not like Luke wasn't prepared.

The document listed the Hand's white and gray industries around the world; he didn't care about the black ones at all.

These things are compiled from multiple channels, including Lilith's, Selene's, and Hongmen's.

Although Uncle Chen is just a butler, he has been Mr. Qin's bodyguard and butler for many years.

His influence in the Hongmen is equivalent to that of Mr. Qin's secretary.

The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone the identities of bodyguards and butlers.

As for the underground forces, Lilith doesn’t play a big role, and Selene only has channels in Europe.

Therefore, the most useful underground group is the Hongmen, which is spread all over the world.

Most of the information about the Shuhehui was also provided by Uncle Chen.

Not only that, the Hand is carrying out illegal activities all over the world, and their protectors in several places must be taken down.

Luke not only wants the property, but also the list of names and evidence of these protectors.

The Hand Society uses crude tactics and only uses leverage to threaten.

But Luke or the Qin family won’t.

Coercion and inducement are only means, not ends.

The ultimate goal is to unite interests. Everyone will be bound together only when they have interests. Otherwise, by using such means, sooner or later the other party will be forced to turn against us.

This is not in line with the ancient wisdom of the Chinese people.

The wisdom and vision of the Chinese people is to make you know that I am using you, but you still have to be grateful to me in the end.

Because you know that if I don't use you, you will have no value and you will live a worse life than before.

Luke was very interested in that piece of land, but he would not be so tasteless as to hold on to it.

The other party has made it clear that he wants the land at any cost.

If Luke doesn't give it, then the negotiations will fail and the gain will outweigh the loss.

So after a little thought, Luke gave Mrs. Gao a suggestion.

"I already have plans for that piece of land and the nearby land."

After he finished speaking, Luke saw that Mrs. Gao's eyes clearly showed disbelief.

But it doesn't matter, Luke smiled and continued:

"We can't sell this piece of land to you, but we can outsource the demolition work to you."

Winston could also see at this time that Luke was keeping them in suspense.

After Luke finished the first half of the sentence, the elders almost overturned the table, but after Luke finished the second half, they immediately calmed down.

The Shuhehui has suffered so much loss, there must be other means.

But Luke must eat the meat in his mouth first, because the decision to encircle and destroy the Hand is not just his alone.

The interests of all parties must be met in order to achieve better cooperation.

After hearing what Luke said, Mrs. Gao and several elders also breathed a sigh of relief.

That piece of land is related to the lifeblood of the Hand and the others, so they must take it at all costs.

Once this matter is resolved, we will study how to get back what we lost.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gao's eyes began to reveal a sharp light.

However, Luke still sensed the cover at that moment.

Luke just smiled.

With Winston as witness, the elders of the Hand promised to deliver the things to the Continental Hotel early tomorrow morning.

And Luke also agreed that the authorization documents would be sent to the Continental Hotel.

Finally, Luke also emphasized the issue of demolition.

“No harm to anyone, no legal disputes.”

Mrs. Gao also agreed readily.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, not to mention that the residents of the apartments there are all low-income people.

The best option is to take some money and leave. If he doesn't want to leave, the gang has plenty of ways to make him leave.

Because there was a second negotiation, Luke and Winston only sent Mrs. Gao and the others to the restaurant door.

Mrs. Gao was a little stunned when she learned that Luke would have a second negotiation, but she quickly recovered.

After Mrs. Gao left, Luke took out his phone.

"Lilith, contact Jarvis and bring the development of this land to the Stark Group. Find an opportunity to reveal the information about the Hand and the negotiation process to Sofia, oh, Miss Kelly White. Note that the things under the land may be able to develop something like Captain America."

"Got it, boss."

Luke thought for a moment and said to Lilith:

"Let Jarvis tell Pepper that she knows how to quietly leak the information to Miss Cleary White."

"Okay, boss."

"How's the situation over there?"

“NYPY has entered the market and closed.”

"OK."

While Luke was negotiating with Mrs. Gao, Frank led his team into the headquarters of the Amick gang.

Frank is not like Luke, who follows procedures openly.

Directly break into the enemy's headquarters.

The first person I saw I gave the order directly: FBI...

They didn't tell them to raise their hands or get down, or to put down their weapons. They just called the FBI and shot them if they dared to make any move...

Frank still hates New York gangs.

His entire family was almost sent to the morgue, and it was impossible for him not to be angry.

But Luke avenged his enemy immediately, so Frank was very excited about coming to New York to fight the gang.

Damon and his daughter watched the entire operation with Abraham in the command vehicle.

Abraham pulled Damon aside to brag about the team's fighting power.

Damon remained silent for a long time as he watched the team quickly and efficiently deal with all the gangsters.

Minty was curious about the team members' equipment and kept asking Abraham about this and that...

It has to be said that the action led by Frank and the team gave Damon a great shock.

He didn't expect that the FBI had such a secret elite force.

I didn't expect that such elite troops were under the command of Luke, a seemingly unreliable man.

Looking at Abraham, who looked like an old gangster next to him, Damon fell into confusion.

What kind of department is this?

Here, Luke saw Mrs. Gao off, and Winston came up to congratulate Luke.

Luke has taken over all of the Hand's industries around the world, except for those in Japan.

This situation was something Luke had not thought of before. What he cared about most was the Hand's protectors who were bribed, coerced and lured around the world.

These connections are the most valuable.

In the end, Luke couldn't help but sigh that the former dragon slayer has now become the new evil dragon.

Just rely on various means to seize a gang's property.

This negotiation with Mrs. Gao went unexpectedly smoothly. Taking advantage of the free time, Luke and Winston drank top-quality red wine and started chatting.

The scheduled time with the British vampires is midnight, and there is still more than an hour left.

I have to say, this old guy Winston is really good at talking. He can say a few words about everything...

Sure enough, the time for bragging and chatting passed quickly, and Charon came over to inform the other party that he had arrived.

This time, it was no longer in a box, but in the hall.

The leader of this group of vampires wore a black robe with a hood.

Following behind him was a group of fully armed... Punk-style vampires... They could be considered elite warriors.

Normally, the first requirement for the vampires when selecting their men is appearance, but this group of warriors... is a bit abstract...

Turning back to look at Johnny and Eric, they looked much better...

The leading vampire took off his hood, revealing a beautiful and charming face.

Luke smiled and walked over to shake her hand.

This is right, this is what vampires should be like.

This extremely evil vampire should be purified by me personally... ahem... receive, receive...
