Luca took a document from Matt and casually threw it at Kingpin's face.
"Look, this is my retirement gift for you."
Kingpin trembling hands and read its contents.
[ Hell's Kitchen Assets and Intelligence Network Transfer Agreement]
The agreement stipulated that Kingpin unconditionally transfer all of his casinos, smuggling routes, gang strongholds, and vast underground intelligence network to Stark Industries ' security department, with Happy Hogun taking full control.
This is tantamount to Kingpin giving him a single penny!
"You... this is an unfair contract..." Kingpin gritted his teeth and growled in resentment.
"That's right, this is a predatory contract clause."
Luca looked down at him, expressionless.
You now have two choices.
"First, sign it."
"Then you'll still have your life. From now on, you'll work under Happy as a law-abiding administrator, managing those street rats for me."
Second, reject it.
Luca snapped his the Snap, and Frank immediately raised his rifle, the dark muzzle pointed at Kingpin's head.
"Then I'll have Frank send you to meet your God, and then I'll send people to take over your territory. It'll just be a little more troublesome."
"Choose, Fisk."
Kingpin was dumbfounded.
He knew he had lost completely.
They were utterly defeated, with no chance of turning the tide.
Finally, faced with the threat of death, this once-powerful underground emperor bowed his proud head.
He picked up the pen with trembling hands and signed his name on the agreement.
From this moment on, the New York underworld officially changed its name to Stark.
The spring cleaning is perfectly finished.
The entire Hell's Kitchen fell silent within hours.
The once arrogant and domineering gangsters are either dead or have surrendered, and no one dares to cause trouble on the streets anymore.
Matt stood on the top floor of the Fisk Tower, looking down at the neighborhood below, which had become quieter than ever before.
He recalled everything that had happened that day: Frank's ruthless killing, Luca's overwhelming attack, and Kingpin's humiliating surrender.
Matt sighed deeply.
In the past, he bled and fought desperately here every night, but nothing could be changed.
Luca Stark, however, quelled the crime in this neighborhood in just one morning.
"Perhaps this is the most realistic rule governing the world."
Matt muttered to himself.
He began to doubt whether his past insistence had really been a mistake.
But he knew there was no turning back.
noon.
Luca returned to the Justice League base.
As soon as he entered the hall, JARVIS's urgent voice rang out.
"Sir, I have an emergency to report to you."
"What's going on? Has that old black bastard Fury caused trouble in Washington again?"
Luca took off his coat and asked casually.
"Not Washington, sir. It's New Mexico."
JARVIS projected a Nebula into the air.
"Just now, the frequency of energy fluctuations in New Mexico surged dramatically, reaching a dangerous critical level."
JARVIS paused, seemingly puzzled.
"Furthermore, according to the intelligence transmitted back by the detectors, a strange man has appeared in a nearby town."
"This man is smashing things everywhere and telling everyone he meets that he is Thor from Asgard. Local police believe he is mentally ill and are preparing to arrest him."
Upon hearing this report, Luca's expression turned somewhat strange.
What kind of nonsense is this? Is it a case of words becoming law?!
He was really just joking yesterday!
" God of Thunder? The god of Asgard?"
Luca waved his hand and smiled gently.
He then walked to the bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey.
" JARVIS, send a notification to everyone."
"Let them get some rest today, and assemble in the base's conference room at 10:00 AM tomorrow."
" The Justice League's next target is New Mexico."
After arranging the next steps, Luca sat alone on the sofa.
Then he closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa.
Kingpin's underground empire is now in his hands.
But it's not just about a few casinos and some smuggling routes.
Importantly, Kingpin has built an intelligence network across the United States and even globally.
This is the real treasure.
Moreover, with this network, Stark Industries essentially gained countless invisible eyes.
Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D..'s covert operations or the movements of Hydra's rats hiding in the gutter, they will no longer be able to escape our surveillance.
On the surface, they possess the aura of superheroes and a legitimate business empire, but in reality, they control the global underworld.
To have both legitimate and illegitimate influence—that is the ultimate form of monopoly.
Furthermore, the addition of Frank and Matt fills a gap in the Justice League's ability to handle routine gangster affairs.
From now on, any dirty or strenuous work can be handed over to these two people; there's no need for him, the big boss, to personally get involved.
Thinking of this, Luca opened his eyes and looked up at the distant sky.
What lies beyond Earth?
" Asgard? Interesting."
