The giant of light in the marvel world

Chapter 36 Prelude to the War

Isn't the only monster causing havoc in New York? Is the military suspected to be responsible for this?

With the unremitting efforts of Daily Planet reporters David and Hodge, a concealed ambition finally surfaced. General Thaddeus E. Ross was named in the weekend newspapers, and the ambitious American general became a hot topic.

Giving this news to David and Hodge itself was because Richard took a fancy to their abilities, and the duo did live up to his expectations. Although I don’t know what methods they used, they did bring back some powerful information. They managed to get some photos of what was clearly a failed body-modification project - the look was truly horrific. They also obtained a piece of incomplete blood data from General Ross's closed laboratory. After identification by a biology professor at a well-known university, the blood should belong to some kind of powerful creature that far exceeds humans.

Then there are rumors of a green Bigfoot that has appeared in various places, and evidence of an accident with the gamma ray project in the laboratory that General Ross was responsible for earlier. Everything is pieced together, as if a whole piece is gradually emerging. The jigsaw puzzle of the true appearance shows the shocking truth to the world.

The monster named "Abomination", which wreaked havoc in New York and took away a large number of lives and caused immeasurable property damage, was probably a demon created by the military with taxpayers' money.

This is an easy conclusion to reach. Everyone knows that since the end of World War II, the government has never given up its plan to restart the "Super Soldier" project. Relevant government departments have even issued public tenders to major domestic companies, hoping that someone can develop a replacement for the "Super Soldier".

It is very obvious that they are not going smoothly on this road. "Abomination" may be one of those many failures.

And that's not all. There is even evidence that the military has no intention of stopping even after revealing the big problem of hatred. Even more than that, after guys in some departments above saw the performance of Abomination facing Ross's army without any damage, they actually felt that this monster was a success story, as if the disaster in New York was its proven value. The same as the show.

So the government's ultimate solution to hateful incidents is to do nothing. No one is willing to stand up and take responsibility for this, and all parties involved just pretend to be ignorant and remain silent. It stands to reason that the career of General Ross, who made such a big fuss, must be over, but he was lucky. There were more powerful people above him who took a fancy to the potential of the project he was responsible for and saved him.

After the storm has passed, General Ross, the culprit, will not only be cleared of trouble, but as long as his enhanced human project is successful enough, he may be able to take this opportunity to rise to the top and become Secretary of State or something.

If it were in the time and space of the movie, old man Ross would really have such good luck. But according to the current situation, if he didn't go to court-martial, then either the old man was so angry that he burped in advance, or his ancestors of the Ross family showed their magical powers and blessed him, otherwise it would not be justified at all.

Thaddeus E. Ross, the name became popular overnight. When the old man woke up, he was stunned to find that his name was a trending search topic. He clicked it and took a look, almost out of breath. He almost couldn't hold it back and made a phone call to Planet Daily to curse.

But in the end he pressed the urge. Ross's ability to get into the position of general couldn't just be due to recklessness. He still has a little bit of brains.

He had to admit defeat for the moment. At this stage, he had to be patient and find a way to get through this period. As for the Daily Planet, Qiu Ross will write it down for the time being. One day, he will make this small newspaper that knows nothing about heaven and earth pay the price.

For the next whole week, General Ross firmly occupied the top spot in the trending searches and became the most intensely discussed figure in public opinion. It wasn't until a week later, when a blast in the early hours of the morning started a war in the city of New York, that the focus of public attention began to shift.

The war began with a bomb attack in Manhattan. The explosion caused a total of five people with minor injuries, three people with serious injuries, and one person died. And the name of the only unfortunate guy who was sent to see the King of Hell was Jack Hunter, one of the most powerful gangsters in New York City.

A vendetta caused by a gang conflict?

No, it's not that simple.

This bomb was like a cannon declaring war. At that moment, the entire underground world of New York was alarmed. All the kidnappers and all the leaders clearly received this sudden message, that is——

——Start the war!

Everyone knows that this is a war started by Kingpin, because in today's situation, only he has the potential and courage to break the existing situation. After years of recuperating and expanding territory, Jin Tie is finally fully prepared.

He was already one of the people at the top of the city's underworld, but he wasn't satisfied yet.

Now, he wants to erase the suffix "one".

He wants to be the unique master of New York.

The powerful traditional families in New York were all panicked. Everyone had guessed that Jin would not be satisfied with the status quo, but no one expected that he would actually dare to do what he said without any regard for the consequences. In the current situation, most people are actually content with the status quo and are not ready for war at all. Kingpin's strength caught them off guard.

So the heads of the various families quickly held an emergency meeting, hoping that they could still solve the problem through talks. However, Kingpin - including his representatives - did not attend the meeting. Their actions silently told everyone that they no longer intended to play by the rules of the game. They want to break the existing situation and establish new rules that belong only to them.

After some fierce quarrels and debates, the leaders temporarily reached a unified front out of fear of Kingpin's power. And Silvermane, the old man who was once the biggest overlord in New York, was naturally elected as the temporary leader of their fragile alliance due to his former reputation.

A war is about to begin. What was unexpected for everyone involved in the war was that the Commissioner of the New York Police Department, George Stacey, also led the police to join the battle.
