Hell Is Full

After Kingpin left, Peter finally returned to normal. Matt still sat there, his expression unchanged as he asked Peter, "What do you make of Fisk's words?"

"Without a doubt, Fisk has his sights set on the mayor's office in New York City. What we don't know now is whether he plans to run this year or four years from now."

Kingpin as he was now was not frightening, nor was his threat level particularly high. Even if Kingpin became mayor of New York City, his threat level would not be all that high—but it would definitely be disgusting.

Not to mention that Kingpin's sentence had not ended yet. He had only secured medical parole through various means. Even if he intended to run, it was already October. Theoretically, it was a little too late. An October surprise was not supposed to be that surprising. If Kingpin really wanted to run, he would have to join a party, kick out its current candidate, and offend that candidate's supporters. Could he still get elected that way?

Fisk had some money, but in a place like New York, that little money of his was nothing. Running for office definitely required throwing money around, but spending money did not guarantee victory.

"This year is definitely impossible. Fisk takes risks, but not pointless ones. He'll definitely enter the election at the end of 2017 and plan to win in 2018. We still have plenty of time to stop him."

The best solution was to have Frank the Punisher shoot Kingpin dead, but unfortunately, Frank had been planning that for four or five years and had acted three or four times already. So far, he had not succeeded. If he failed again while Kingpin was campaigning, that really would be an October surprise—and might end up
