I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 158 Lin Hao's clever plan leads to chaos in Texas

Under the guidance of the Witch Heart Demon, Ghost Rider drove towards the northern suburbs of Houston, followed closely by the genuine Captain America and Thor.

At about the same time, a large truck was heading towards the city from the west of Houston.

This was a cold chain truck transporting beef. The driver was driving on the highway listening to high-decibel music, completely unaware that there was an uninvited guest in the ice storage behind the vehicle.

A black vortex suddenly appeared, and Tom Riddle appeared in the cold storage. He casually dropped a black skeleton whose movements were blocked by magic, and then used magic to disguise it as half a beef.

After easily completing the task assigned by his master, Principal Tom returned to his loyal Hogwarts.

He didn't understand why his master asked him to make this trip, nor did he need to understand.

The cold chain truck drove all the way to Houston. After learning about the outbreak of the contagious black skull in Austin, not only did the federal government order the bordering states to blockade Texas, but the local Texas government also asked cities around Austin to make protective preparations and set up checkpoints on all roads leading into the city.

However, the "rednecks" who came out to cause trouble tied up a large number of local police and military forces in Texas, resulting in a clear shortage of staff at the road checkpoints.

With so many vehicles and insufficient manpower, the blockade effect can be imagined.

When the cold chain truck arrived at the checkpoint, the military personnel opened the cold storage, but they just went in with their guns and took a look, then jumped off in a hurry and ran to check the next truck.

The black skeleton, sealed by magic and disguised at the same time, passed through smoothly and entered Houston.

The cold chain truck arrived at the store and the staff unloaded the goods under the command of the manager. Although it was early in the morning, these stores specializing in fresh produce often needed to prepare the goods before dawn and wait for the first batch of customers in the morning.

The beef coming out of the slaughterhouse is basically of the same size and stacked together.

The porters loaded the beef onto carts and counted them piece by piece.

At the end of the count, they suddenly ran to the manager and reported quietly: "Boss, there is one more piece today, although the weight is a little lighter."

"The others aren't any lighter, are they?" the manager asked.

If the other goods are also short in weight, he will definitely deduct the payment.

"No, it's just that the extra piece is a little lighter." The mover signaled with his eyes.

The manager glanced at the last cart and said calmly, "Just pretend you don't know."

Why not take advantage of a bargain?
In this way, the disguised black skeleton successfully entered the store and waited for the dawn.

Although there was a big demonstration in the city, this kind of thing happens several times every year in America.

Life must go on.

Director Lin’s layout includes more than just this line, there is another line as well.

Johnny Blaze's ex-girlfriend is named Roxanne. She is now a reporter for a small TV station in Houston. She is not very famous, but she relies on her youth and good figure to have some unique features.

Yesterday she went to interview her ex-boyfriend about his car stunts. Before she got the task, she actually already knew that "Hot Johnny" was coming to Houston to perform. The reason why she did not refuse the task given by her superiors was that she was somewhat nostalgic for the past.

Ten years ago, when she was young, she had made a promise with her ex-boyfriend to travel around the world, but when the time came, Johnny did not show up, which gave her the biggest regret of her youth.

After meeting yesterday, she couldn't bear the longing for her and their old love rekindled. She agreed to a date with her ex-boyfriend, but he stood her up again!
She didn't know that Johnny was being targeted by the devil, she just felt that she was stupid for being fooled twice in a row.

After a day of emotional recovery, she decided to completely forget her ex-boyfriend and start a new life.

"What? You want me to interview at McKison Manor?" Luo Shan was very surprised to receive a call from her boss in the middle of the night. "Are you sure? Are you sure it's McKison Manor?"

"Of course, the station master has been invited. Just go over there and the guard will let you in."

There was no other end of the line. The voice was actually from Arnim Zola, who was hiding in the data network. At this moment, he pretended to be the voice of Roshan's boss and spoke according to his master's script. "Remember, dress decently!"

Luo Shan couldn't believe it and confirmed again and again: "Are you sure it's McKison Manor and not somewhere else?"

"Yes, I'm sure. As long as you arrive at the gate by car, I guarantee that the guard will let you in." Zora said.

"Okay, I'll clean it up."

Although she still felt unbelievable, Luo Shan had no choice but to run after receiving a call from her superior. She quickly got out of bed and quickly changed into her best dress.

Why was she so surprised?
Because McKison Manor is the residence of the McKison family, which is the second largest super family in the Texas consortium.

Among the top ten American conglomerates, the Texas Consortium ranks last, but this is because they rose late and took advantage of World War II to expand their oil and arms businesses to become one of the top ten American conglomerates.

Although the Texas consortium is often ridiculed and vulgar by the old-established consortiums, except for the top three consortiums that control the financial industry, namely Rockefeller, Morgan, and Citibank, which can rely on their strong financial industry to suppress them, the Texas consortium, which holds the gun, is really not afraid of the other ones.

In Texas and even in the United States, the Texas Consortium, as an arms giant, is a behemoth that is out of reach for ordinary people.

As the second family in the Texas consortium, the McKisons are certainly not someone that a small reporter can interview just by saying so.

Feeling nervous, Roshan took a taxi to McKisson Manor. The driver was a little suspicious at first because of her revealing clothes, but when he heard the destination, he immediately changed his mind.

They are the toys of the big shots. Even if a mere taxi driver has the courage to have some fun, he will be in trouble in the end.

"Hello, I'm Roshan Simpson, a reporter from Canal TV. I've received an order from the station director to come here for an interview." Roshan looked at the fully armed guard anxiously.

The guards of McKison Manor are all regular troops. They are not recruited from retired veterans, but "house-born sons" who are trained by their families and sent to serve in the army. If they are talented, resources will be invested to help them get promoted. If they are not talented, they will come back to be security guards and be responsible for the security of various industries.

Every financial group family in the United States has similar operations and has established several legal security companies.

Otherwise, what would DuPont use to blow up other people’s factories?

After hearing Luo Shan introduce herself, the manor's security guard began to check today's invitations on the computer, and actually found Luo Shan's invitation.

"You can come in, but he can't!" the guard pointed at the taxi driver and said coldly.

"But the manor is far from here..." Luo Shan looked at her high heels, then at the winding and deep manor, with a bitter look on her face.

The McKisson Manor occupied several nearby hills and the valleys in between. It was at least two kilometers from the gate to the courtyard area, and the entire road was up the mountain.

"There's a shuttle bus after you go in."

The guard took the person out of the room and called a female guard to carefully search Roshan's body to make sure she had no hidden weapons.

At the same time, the four demons of earth, water, fire and wind sent by Wu Xinmo found Luo Shan's residence, but they found nothing.

"Damn it, where is that dead woman?" The hot-tempered fire demon was so angry that he set Roshan's bed sheets on fire.

The wind demon collected the remaining scent in the air and floated out of the window following the scent.

"follow me!"

The other demons then transformed into elements and followed.

Coincidentally, there is a carnival party being held at McKison Manor tonight.

Several major families within the Texas consortium gathered together, including the decision-makers of the Richardson, Hunter, Brown, Elkins and other families, all of whom were here.
