Luo Di had a party to attend today.
It wasn't anything important, just some rich second-generation friends inviting him to watch a boxing match.
However, the boxing match wasn't held in Free City, so Luo Di had to take a private jet to Vegas, which would take about five hours.
A round trip would be over ten hours.
Therefore,
He wouldn't be returning to Free City today.
He would only return tomorrow.
Coincidentally, Gwen also had things to be busy with today.
Their band had a performance coming up soon, so they needed to practice well recently, which meant she didn't have time to go on a date with Luo Di.
Luo Di also agreed to attend this party because he knew Gwen would be relatively busy these two days.
Otherwise, what's a boxing match compared to spending time with his girlfriend!
...
In the office.
Harry was processing the proposals submitted by several old guys below him.
"A pile of garbage!"
Harry flipped through a few pages and couldn't be bothered to read on.
The content on it was practically treating him like an idiot, did they really think he was a naive boy who didn't understand anything?
It only needed 200 million in investment, but they insisted on rambling on and on, inflating it to 500 million!
Did they really think Osborn Group's money fell from the sky?
That easy to earn!
Putting down the pile of documents, Harry rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand, feeling that his resting time was getting less and less these days, and he was mentally exhausted.
But he couldn't relax!
The family's hereditary disease was like a beast chasing him, if he stopped, he might become a full meal in its mouth the next second!
Ding ding! Ding ding!
At this moment, Harry's phone on the desk rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it, the caller ID showed Captain Quinn.
Harry answered the phone.
"Boss, we found the intruder!"
Captain Quinn's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Harry immediately sat up straight, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Found him? Good! Very good!"
The lab was invaded last night, and the intruder was found today.
It has to be said, this efficiency was faster than Harry could have imagined.
Originally, he had thought that if they hadn't found him in a couple of days, he would call them and scold them, but he didn't expect them to find him so quickly.
"Who is the other party?"
"Military?"
"Polar Bear?"
"Or those lunatics from the Middle East?"
"Boss, none of them." Captain Quinn said, "The intruder is a guy named Luke Cage. We found that this guy previously participated in a Military super-soldier modification experiment, originally named Karl Lucas, but then he disappeared for some reason and reappeared under the name Luke Cage."
Luke Cage?
Harry had never heard of this person.
However, after listening to Captain Quinn's introduction, he probably knew that this person was not an Ordinary people.
Didn't he hear that this guy also participated in the Military's super-soldier modification experiment!
Needless to say, this experiment must have been successful.
However, Harry had never heard of any super-soldiers existing within the Military, so this success was clearly similar to Captain America during World War II, an accidental individual case.
But under normal circumstances, the Military should firmly control this super-soldier.
But now this guy who became a super-soldier through the Military's experiment actually ran to hide in Free City, and even ran into his laboratory to cause trouble.
Apparently,
The Military had lost control of this super-soldier!
Perhaps those idiots even thought the other party had died long ago.
Harry instantly imagined a lot of scenarios.
However, none of this was important!
What was important was that the person was found, which meant they could proceed with the arrest operation!
"Notify Poison Squad, this arrest operation will be their responsibility!"
Harry ordered over the phone.
Captain Quinn on the other end of the phone was surprised to hear that the boss wanted to use Poison Squad.
"Boss, Poison Squad is still not very stable, and accidents may occur during the operation."
Captain Quinn reminded him.
"You go with them then, keep an eye on them for me, and if an accident occurs, immediately activate the destruction command!"
Harry instructed.
"Understood, Boss, I will keep a close eye on them."
Captain Quinn replied.

Chapter 46: Hell's Kitchen! Luke Cage, the Worker! Trouble Comes Knocking!
1:30 PM.
Manhattan, Midtown West.
This area was originally called Clinton, but for certain undisclosed reasons, over time people became more accustomed to calling it "Hell's Kitchen."
This is a haven for criminals.
It's a place where the light of justice doesn't shine!
Here;
Even in broad daylight, any criminal incident can occur, and the Police will definitely not arrive within half an hour!
Here, even the local Police station in Midtown West doesn't dare to interfere much, there are never Police cars patrolling here, and there are never less than five Police officers who dare to step into this area.
This is the most chaotic place in Free City!
It's hard to imagine, even though Manhattan Island is the economic center of the entire Free City, the most prosperous commercial center.
Yet, there exists a place like Hell's Kitchen here.
Hell's Kitchen, Old Man's Tavern.
This tavern has been open in Hell's Kitchen for some years now. The owner of the tavern is a black uncle nicknamed "Old Man."
Old Man is very famous in Hell's Kitchen, even the famous Kingpin will give Old Man face.
And there's a rule in Old Man's Tavern, which is that no fighting is allowed!
Even if you're fighting, you have to go outside to do it, otherwise, you're not giving Old Man face.
And not giving Old Man face is equivalent to not giving Kingpin face!
In Hell's Kitchen, no one dares not to give Kingpin face!!
Ever since this madman personally strangled his wife and children, everyone here knew that Kingpin had gone mad.
The Kingpin of the past, though ruthless, was still not a truly cold-hearted person.
But ever since his wife and children died, Kingpin completely became a cold-blooded tyrant!
In Hell's Kitchen, and even the entire underground World of Free City, Kingpin is the undisputed king.
He can determine the survival of a gang with a single word.
He can also make a small-time crook a big shot with a single word!
Some people call Kingpin the underground emperor of Free City.
This statement is absolutely true!
In Free City, even the U.S. official departments have to give Kingpin face.
One can imagine how powerful Kingpin's influence is!
With Kingpin's tacit approval from behind, no one would dare to break the rules of Old Man's Tavern.
No matter how arrogant the punks are outside, they have to politely greet Old Man when they come here.
And this is where Luke Cage works!
...
Super-soldiers also need to earn money to support themselves.
Luke Cage is not a rich man. Before he became a super-soldier, he was also a gang member, so he is very familiar with the rules here in Hell's Kitchen.
Moreover,
Can someone like him, who has falsified his true identity, really find a decent job?
Those bosses wouldn't want someone like him at all.
Even if they did, they would relentlessly exploit his labor and wages.
But Old Man's Tavern wouldn't.
Luke Cage receives basic respect here and earns a standard wage.
He won't be exploited or discriminated against.
So Luke Cage has been working here ever since he returned to live in Free City.
Serving as the tavern's bartender!
Yes, Luke Cage also knows how to mix drinks.
Although he hasn't formally studied it, the customers here are not those pretentious rich people. People come here to drink mainly for the atmosphere, not because the drinks here are so delicious.
Of course!
Cheap prices might also be a reason.
For Luke Cage, he is very satisfied with his current life.
Although he doesn't earn much, at least no trouble comes knocking.
Everyone here respects Old Man.
And by extension, they also show a little respect to Luke Cage, who works at Old Man's Tavern.
So he gets along very well here.
He met many so-called friends.
However;
