The Manhattan area was the heart of New York. It was home to the world-famous Times Square, Wall Street that controlled the global financial trends, and the world's largest Chinatown. There were many companies in this area, and many large companies would choose to build their headquarters here.
Farango Technology Resource Recovery Company was one of the more inconspicuous buildings. On the surface, it looked like a legitimate company, but in fact, it was a legal business of the Stanich family. Farango's main business was to deal with the nuclear waste produced by the US military and nuclear power plants every year.
This was a large business with an annual revenue of nearly 1.5 billion USD. The Stanich family had worked for a long time to obtain the operating rights for this project. The government didn't care who was helping them deal with the nuclear waste, nor did they care how they dealt with it. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, the government's attitude was always indifferent. If something really happened, the federal government would throw the Stanich family out to take the blame. This was the federal government's usual practice.
The current head of the Stanich family, Farango Stanich, was sitting in the general manager's office in the Farango building. Two of his men were reporting to him, and there was a body lying on the floor. It was Franky, who was shot in the head by the Punished Frank Castle.
"Our men found Franky in an alley in the Fifth Street of Queens," a black-shirted man said to Farango. "He had been dead for a long time when we found him. Both of his hands were broken, and his left shoulder was also broken. Our preliminary judgment is that it was broken by a blunt metal object. "
Farango covered his nose with a handkerchief and walked in front of Franky's body. He looked at it carefully, then waved his hand to signal his men to carry the body out. When the smell of blood in the room had almost dissipated, he took off the handkerchief covering his nose.
"I don't care whether Franky is dead or alive. I just want to know who killed our people that night!" Farango looked only forty years old. He had the standard appearance of a middle-aged Italian handsome man, and a pair of light green eyes were easy to recognize. However, his voice was very hoarse, which was caused by the damage to his vocal cords when he was a teenager.
"My wife's godson and my dearest nephew, Anderson Stanich, was killed by someone!" Farango asked his men. "Our people saw a man in a black combat suit and a brown cape appear on the Fifth Street. He looks like the guy in Brooklyn the other day," the muscular man in black replied. "In the Fifth and Sixth Streets of Queens, there is a story about Nightcrawler. Legend has it that he fights crime at night. Franky might have bumped into him. We still don't know if this Nightcrawler is related to the incident in Brooklyn that day. "
"Hmph ~ Nightcrawler, a nosy, short-lived ghost." Farango snorted disdainfully. He didn't like these nosy, self-righteous guys. "However, there are rumors about the Boss. Nightcrawler might be a mutant. It was rumored that he was very fast and could jump over obstacles that were several meters high. He was also very strong. Many people couldn't even block one of his punches. "The muscular man in black continued to report the information he had.
Most people didn't know what kind of ability Li Jie had. They only saw his ghostly speed and jumping ability, as well as his ability to subdue criminals with one hit. Therefore, there were rumors that he was a mutant with special abilities.
"Bastard mutant!" Farango growled in a low voice. Mutants were a group of species that Farango hated the most. He wished that all these bastard mutants would disappear from the world. "Go find those guys. We need them to deal with the mutants." Farango's expression was uncertain. When he made this decision, he felt disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
"Wait, which gang manages the Fifth and Sixth Streets of Queens?" Farango stopped the muscular man in black who was about to go out to execute the order. "I think it's the Stanton Gang." As Farango's right-hand man, the muscular man in black knew the underground gangs of New York like the back of his hand. He only thought for a moment before giving the answer.
"Stanton … Stando, Murphy Stanton." Farango read a person's name and slowly paced. "Hank! Don't go find those guys. Now their appetite is getting bigger. Let our people go to Queens and find the boss of the Stanton Gang, Murphy Stanton. Let him cooperate with our people in the investigation in Queens! "
The muscular man in black named Hank said with some hesitation. "But if the other party is a mutant, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a high price to catch him." "It doesn't matter. Leave the problem of mutants to Murphy Stanton." Farango stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the brilliant lights of Manhattan reflected in his eyes. "Because Murphy Stanton is also a mutant!"
Because the death in the last training left a shadow in Li Jie's heart, Li Jie didn't devote himself to training with the E-level hero training card in the next few days. And because the system didn't release any new missions for the time being, Li Jie didn't go to the chaotic streets to play his own Nightcrawler.
Since the end of the semester was approaching, Li Jie also gave himself a few days off. After all, being a hero didn't have a salary ~ unemployment benefits and medical insurance. He still needed to rest. And Li Jie also found a very interesting small website on the Internet called "Nightcrawler Alliance." The organizer seemed to be a resident of the Fifth Street. Because he was saved by Li Jie once, he regarded Li Jie as his idol and hero in his life, so he started this website. The website looked very quiet. Only some residents of the Fifth and Sixth Street who had heard of the legend of Nightcrawler were browsing.
Most people were discussing the authenticity of the legend of Nightcrawler, and those residents who were saved by Li Jie emphasized that the Fifth and Sixth Street did indeed have a protector at night. But unfortunately, because Li Jie was usually very careful. So far, no one had really taken a photo of his identity as Nightcrawler, so there was no clear evidence to prove that Nightcrawler was indeed a person.
The semester exams for the second year of Metropolitan High School continued as scheduled. Without much exception, most of Li Jie's grades were between B + and A-. He was considered a relatively good student. And Peter Parker demonstrated his dominance as a scholar, all of his subjects were A +, of course, except for sports, which was B-.
On the first day of summer break, Li Jie and Peter went to the headquarters of Osborne Group in Manhattan. Just as they walked through the door, they saw Harry Osborne waiting for them at the front desk. "Peter ~ Jason, over here!" Harry greeted the two. The two received their identity cards at the front desk. Peter's card represented the intern, and Li Jie's card represented the guest.
"Hey ~ man, I only recommended Peter to come in for the internship, but not you. Are you unhappy?" Harry was a step behind Peter and whispered to Li Jie. "Oh ~ please, you know me. I have no idea about these scientific and technological research things, and my interest is to be a chef, not to wear a white coat and do scientific research in a laboratory. This is Peter's dream. "Li Jie's explanation made Harry relieved. He was really a little afraid that Li Jie would be unhappy. As a super-rich second generation, in fact, Harry didn't really have many good friends. And Peter and Li Jie were his best friends. He didn't want to lose this friendship.
Li Jie and the other two took the elevator to the Osborne Group's Biotechnology Research Department on the 35th floor. There were already more than a dozen outstanding young people selected from all over the country gathered here in twos and threes. These people came to participate in the summer internship provided by the Osborne Group. The summer internship didn't have a salary, but it still attracted many talented young people. Because this was the Osborne Group, the world's top biotech company.
Being able to intern in the Osborne Group would be a very good qualification. Whether it was to apply to an excellent university or go out to find a job, it was a capital that could be used.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome here to participate in the summer internship program provided by the Osborne Group. " A pleasant female voice attracted everyone's attention. Li Jie and the other two, who were chatting, also looked in the direction of the voice.
A charming girl stood in the center of the hall and introduced to everyone. The girl's voice had long golden hair like silk, and her sapphire blue eyes were very big and full of spirit. Although wearing a white research uniform didn't show her figure, the pair of long legs were still very eye-catching. The brown boots with the white research uniform looked very charming and lovely.
"Wow ~" Li Jie saw such a beautiful woman and couldn't help but sigh. Many of the boys in the hall were nerds at school, including Peter Parker, who looked dumbfounded. Most of these people had no experience in contact with such a beautiful girl. As a result, the whole hall was surprisingly quiet, and Li Jie's sigh was particularly obvious.
Everyone in the whole hall turned their eyes to the side where Li Jie and the other two were standing. Li Jie immediately raised his hand to make a gesture of surrender, and with a smile on his face, he shook his head apologetically to the girl over there, indicating that he didn't want to molest her.
"My name is Gwen Stancey, from New York Midtown High School of Science and Technology. I have been interning in Dr. Connors' group for a year, and I will be your internship leader for two months of your internship. Please keep up with me, and don't wander around on the way. If you don't have a security clearance, then please don't go in and out of rooms that you shouldn't go in and out of, or the security guards here are not very friendly. "The beautiful girl, Gwen Stancey, didn't mind Li Jie's loss, but continued to introduce.
"Okay, please follow me." After Gwen finished talking about the precautions, she didn't have much politeness and would take everyone to Dr. Connors' laboratory.
"Hey ~ Peter! Want to meet her mother? "Harry just saw Peter's ugly appearance. Harry asked with a smirk on his face. Peter just looked as if he wanted to eat Gwen. "What ~ what? Oh ~ wait. "Before Peter could react, Harry grabbed him and caught up with Gwen, who was walking in front of him, and also called Li Jie to keep up.
"Hi ~ Gwen." Harry grabbed Peter and came to Gwen's side to say hello. "Hi ~ Harry, why are you free to come here today? Don't you need to go to the board of directors? "Gwen also greeted Harry. It seemed that the two were very familiar. "Oh ~ I have a classmate who came here for an internship today, this is Peter Parker. I mentioned to you the best student in Metropolitan High School! "Harry introduced Peter to Gwen. "And over here is Jason Lee. I've mentioned him to you before. This is my best friend, who will become the best chef in the world in the future. "
"Hello Jason, hello Peter. My name is Gwen Stancey, and my friends call me Gwen. "Gwen smiled politely at the two and reached out to shake hands with them. "Hello, Gwen." Li Jie shook hands with Gwen and responded. "Oh ~ Hello, Gwen." Peter looked very nervous. He wiped his hands on his clothes before shaking hands. It was estimated that he was wiping the sweat of his palms because of nervousness.
Li Jie saw Peter's performance and fainted. Do you dare to show a little more? This is your future girlfriend! But Gwen was very amused by Peter's somewhat clumsy performance.
On the way to Dr. Connors' lab, Gwen and Peter had already started chatting. The two of them talked about genetics and biology. Li Jie didn't understand at all, and Harry was no better. Although he was the future boss of a technology company, he has not fully mastered the technical terms.
It can only be said that the world of the top students, ordinary people will not understand!
