The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 59, Iron Man is here to check for drunk driving!

Good evening, Mr. Fisker.

Li Xingzhou maintained the same demeanor Leonardo used when facing Kingpin, greeting him politely. Even Kingpin was unaware that this seemingly humble young man secretly harbored a condescending admiration and appreciation for him.

Yes, Li Xingzhou admires Kingpin.

He admires people like Jin, who are hard-working individuals who rise from the bottom to the top through their own abilities and intelligence.

He also admired Kingpin's strength.

Upon first meeting, his powerful primordial spirit sensed the vigorous and active blood and energy within Kingpin's body, which resembled an iron furnace.

This proves that his conjecture was correct; Kingpin did indeed stumble upon the path of Qi and Blood Martial Arts by accident, achieving the feat of being able to rival superhumans with the body of a mortal.

While Kingpin's ability to unlock the treasures of his own body without guidance certainly involved a great deal of luck and chance, his own talent and hard work were also indispensable.

"Top-quality materials for Daoist soldiers..."

Li Xingzhou sighed inwardly. Of course, he didn't intend to refine Kingpin into a Dao weapon; he was merely making an instinctive assessment based on the professional eye of a demon.

Kingpin's value lies not in being a henchman.

As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. Li Xingzhou is still in the development stage and still needs to rely on Kingpin's influence in many areas.

Furthermore, Kingpin was a man of high moral character and impeccable integrity. The quantity of medicine he sold was far less than that of the Ci'ai Temple, and the number of people he killed was far less than the number of people who died as a result of the Ci'ai Temple's widespread unrest.

Most importantly, he only loves beautiful women and doesn't like young girls. This alone puts him to shame many politicians and members of Congress sitting in the White House and in both houses of Congress.

Therefore... Li Xingzhou strongly supports King's candidacy for mayor, even governor, or even president.

Imagine what a beautiful sight it would be if America were led by Kingpin?

It would definitely suit the aesthetic of the Ninth Incarnation Old Demon.

“Come here, Leonardo.”

Jin Bing waved to Li Xingzhou, then turned to look at the brightly lit metropolis outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Li Xingzhou walked over and stood behind Kingpin, also looking out the window at the endless lights.

Kingpin exhaled a smoke ring, his fingers holding a cigar, and pointed to the city below:

"Look, what a magnificent city. This is one of the world's premier metropolises, with a population of over eight million, a gathering place for the world's elites and wealth... If we could rule such a city, just imagine the immense achievements and glory we could gain?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

“Yes, Mr. Fisk, I have no doubt that you will rule this city.”

“I believe in myself, too.”

Kingpin sighed, then looked at Li Xingzhou:
"However, the throne of the king was forged by the combined efforts of countless knights and heroes. Even the most brilliant king needs the assistance of many talented individuals, such as the wise hand of the king and a powerful executioner. Therefore, I also need your help."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Without a doubt, Mr. Fisk, we will do everything in our power to help you rule this metropolis."

“I knew you were the most loyal,” Kingpin exclaimed. “Wesley has already told me what you want to do. Go for it without any worries, because you have my full support.”

"Thank you, Mr. Fisker."

The topic ends here.

Kim did not mention the Supreme Court Justice, but only promised that he would fully support Li Xingzhou in opening a private prison.

But smart people don't need to spell everything out. Having received Kingpin's promise, Li Xingzhou naturally had to reciprocate by using the power of the Supreme Court to give Kingpin his support.

Li Xingzhou also believed that with the efforts of him and Kingpin, the two brilliant duo, America would surely become great again—if not, it must be someone else's fault, there must be bad people holding them back. In that case, he would have to persuade Kingpin to cut ties with those bad people, establish a new world, and create a "new America".

……

Half an hour later. In the banquet hall.

Watching Kingpin deliver his impassioned speech on stage, Gwen looked on in amazement as Li Xingzhou remarked:
"Is that guy really a normal human? His size is just too intimidating! From the front, he's practically a huge, thick block! His body width is at least three times yours!"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said softly:

"It's not that exaggerated, at most it's 2.5 times wider than me."

"Unbelievable, someone of this size can move so freely..."

"Not only is he agile, but he is also as nimble as a cat, making him a mountain of flesh and a great demon king who combines strength and agility."

"The Mountain of Flesh Demon King?" Gwen's lips curled up, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "That's such a vivid and apt metaphor!"

Just then, enthusiastic applause suddenly rang out in the banquet hall.

Kingpin pledged to donate $100 million in the name of the Fisker Corporation, and he personally donated $10 million. Together with all the funds raised tonight, they will establish a foundation to save starving children. He asked all the media reporters and city councilors present to participate in monitoring the use of the fund.

As a psychology master and PUA expert, Kingpin is a skilled orator, his tone, demeanor, voice, and gestures are all perfectly controlled, making him extremely emotionally engaging. The audience was moved by his speech, applauding enthusiastically, and many wealthy celebrities and businessmen pledged to donate large sums of money on the spot.

Even Gwen was moved by his speech and whispered to Li Xingzhou beside her:

"I never thought Kingpin would do something good once in a while."

"It's for the election..."

"Speaking of which, what did you talk about with him before?"

"Don't worry, I'm not plotting any evil scheme. I want to open a private prison and I need Kingpin's financial support. I've also promised him that once he's caught, he can serve his sentence in my prison, and I'll prepare a comfortable single cell for him..."

"You are joking?"

“I’m serious. I’m a social entrepreneur with a conscience, and I hope to contribute to America’s prosperity and strength in whatever way I can. Helping criminals turn over a new leaf and start anew, purifying the social atmosphere of America, and reducing the crime rate is also a way of making a contribution.”

"I have a feeling that there's some kind of deadly dark humor hidden in what you just said..."

“Gwen, you’re being too sensitive…”

Before we knew it, it was time to leave.

King and Wesley stood at the door, personally seeing off the guests. Given his status, this gesture naturally garnered him a lot of goodwill and support.

Li Xingzhou also took Gwen to greet Kingpin and Wesley before going to the parking lot to get his car and driving Gwen away.

During the drive, Li Xingzhou asked Gwen:
"Where to go next?"

“Go home. Didn’t I tell you that my father requires me to be home by 10 p.m.?”

"Okay, it's getting close to curfew. But Spider-Woman certainly won't stay home obediently, will she? Pretending to go home on time, then changing into her suit, escaping through a window, and fighting crime is your usual routine, isn't it?"

"So what do you want to do?"

"I think……"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Xingzhou suddenly stepped on the slam and brought the car to a screeching halt.

"what happened?"

Gwen asked in confusion, looking up ahead and seeing a guy in a red and yellow mecha suit standing in the middle of the road, gesturing for the cars to stop.

"Iron Man? Tony Stark?"

Gwen looked stunned.

Li Xingzhou was also somewhat puzzled. Why was this playboy running into the middle of the road to stop my car for no reason?
I've never had any dealings with him before, have I?
Just then, Tony Stark swaggered over to the driver's side, tapped twice on the window, and said, "Pull over. I need to check for drunk driving."
