Next morning.
Westview Township Community Plaza.
At the moment, it was only eight o’clock, yet the square was already packed with people, including locals and tourists from out of town.
Everyone’s face was filled with joy.
At the entrance directly in front of the square stood a circular arch with the words Charitable Donations written across it.
Many temporary camps had been set up in the rear, with numerous entertainment facilities and food provided for those participating in the charity fundraising event.
“Levi, I really didn’t expect Mr.
Wilson to come to Westview Town for a fundraising event.
He’s a big shot in New York City.”
Josh’s eyes fell on the poster not far away.
It showed a tall, mighty-looking fat man with a pair of sharp eyes that naturally inspired awe.
“Wilson seems to be famous.
A lot of people know him.”
Levi had gotten up early that morning.
As a habitual laid-back couch potato, he had nothing better to do, so naturally he came to the charity event near the community to join in the fun.
What surprised him was that Josh, who usually slept until noon, had woken up so early today to participate in the event.
It seemed that he had slightly underestimated Kingpin’s influence.
“Levi, he’s a huge figure.
He’s donated countless amounts of money, and his company has also helped drive the state’s economic development.
He’s even a perfect husband.”
Josh explained excitedly.
“I see.”
Levi was a little surprised.
No wonder the Hawkeye series showed Kingpin being so bold and even daring to kill people in the street.
With his connections and influence, he didn’t worry about being sanctioned at all.
“He doesn’t look very nice.”
Wanda, standing beside him, looked at the poster and spoke slowly.
She had just returned from out of town and happened to arrive in time for the charity event.
Having lived in poverty since childhood, she planned to participate in the fundraising event.
Helping other people made her feel better.
“Looks don’t mean everything.
You can’t judge people by their appearance.”
A passerby was slightly displeased when he heard this.
The other passersby also showed dissatisfaction.
Obviously, most of the people present were in awe of the famous philanthropist Wilson.
Many people had come to this charity fundraising event because of Wilson’s reputation.
Otherwise, who would care about a small, remote town?
“Sorry, my friend misspoke.”
Levi smiled apologetically and hurriedly pulled Wanda away.
The looks those people were giving them seemed like they wanted to eat them alive.
Kingpin’s carefully cultivated public image had been very successful, and most people had fallen right into the trap…
“Levi, my intuition has always been accurate.”
She possessed telepathy, allowing her to see through all kinds of people at a glance.
“You should stop talking nonsense.
Mr.
Wilson has a very high reputation.”
Josh, who was following behind them, muttered something before raising his head.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, “He’s coming!”
“It really is him…”
Levi heard the sound and looked over the crowd toward the central stage, where a tall, mighty-looking fat man stood.
Unlike ordinary fat people.
He looked extremely solid, giving people the impression that he could stand as firmly as a mountain, and every step he took carried an air of authority.
He was indeed Wilson Fisk!
New York philanthropist, famous entrepreneur.
At the same time, he was also the underground emperor of the New York underworld, a man who covered the sky with one hand!
As soon as Kingpin stepped onto the stage, countless people below applauded and cheered.
Josh also shouted excitedly from the side.
“Impressive.”
Levi muttered.
Kingpin’s skills were already top-notch among ordinary people…
He had one foot in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
“You think he’s great?”
Wanda was puzzled by what she heard.
“No.
I mean he’s very good at manipulating people.
This guy isn’t a good person.”
Levi was slightly taken aback.
Why did the witch care about his opinion?
“Mm.”
Wanda nodded in agreement.
“When Pietro and I were wandering the streets, the gang leaders gave me an impression very similar to Wilson’s on that stage.”
At the mention of this, she lowered her head.
“What’s in the past is in the past.”
Levi comforted her.
He knew that Pietro was Quicksilver, Wanda’s younger brother, and that the two of them had smuggled into America together.
They had been forced to participate in HYDRA’s experiments and gained tremendous power.
However, Quicksilver had fallen in Sokovia’s hail of bullets.
“It turns out you’re all here.
I thought everyone was on vacation.”
At this moment, Agatha came over from behind.
She seemed to be in a poor state of mind, with slightly swollen bags under her eyes, and she was holding a rabbit in her arms.
“Aunt Agnes, does your rabbit really like me that much?
It keeps staring at me.”
Levi noticed this, reached out, and vigorously rubbed the rabbit’s head, making it squeak.
“Señor Scratchy is a little afraid of strangers.”
Seeing this, Agatha’s heart ached, and she took a step back.
“Sorry, I just like small animals too much.”
Levi looked at the rabbit and smiled as though he were embarrassed.
He preferred eating braised rabbit heads.
The rabbit in Agatha’s arms noticed his gaze and shrank fearfully into her embrace, but its owner didn’t seem to care, only looking somewhat helpless.
“I didn’t sleep well all night because of what happened yesterday.”
In fact, she had spent the entire night searching for the owner of those dark shadows.
She was convinced that there were other magicians in town.
But after an entire night, she had found nothing.
That guy was hiding too well.
“I’ll strengthen security as soon as possible to prevent something like this from happening again.”
Levi nodded to show that he was taking the matter very seriously.
At this moment, Wilson’s speech was gradually coming to an end, and most of the participants in the audience applauded excitedly.
“Mr.
Wilson’s presentation was fantastic.”
Josh had also been watching intently.
But at this moment.
No one noticed that several cars were approaching from outside the square.
As they drew closer, the lead car suddenly accelerated, like an out-of-control falling rock, crashing forward and turning into a blur.
“Careful!”
Levi turned his head and saw what was happening, then hurriedly pulled Wanda and the others out of the way.
And at that moment.
Whoosh!
The car had already rushed into the square at incredible speed, knocking people to the ground around it.
Then the car windows rolled down, revealing several pitch-black gun barrels.
The next second—
Boom!
!
!
The cold muzzles of the guns erupted instantly, and countless bullets flew out, sweeping indiscriminately toward everyone in the square.
For a moment.
Everything happened without warning.
The scene was like a boulder crashing into a pond.
Everyone in the square fled in panic in an instant, and the sense of fear spread rapidly like a virus, tearing apart the festive atmosphere that had filled the square!
