The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 269 Gap
Tree houses are rising from the ground among the woods. Although the craftsmanship of these tree houses is still relatively simple, with the walls simply woven with branches and vines and the roofs just covered with a thick layer of leaves, everyone is immersed in joy.

For them, this is their new home and a place of hope they have regained after going through hardships.

Every piece of wood and every leaf carries their vision for future life.

However, new problems soon emerged.

As tens of thousands of people began to live their normal lives in this new space, resource consumption began to exceed expectations at an alarming rate.

Every member of the tribe, whether a baby still in swaddling clothes, an elderly person over 70 years old, or a man or woman in the prime of life, needs food to survive.

The food reserves, which were originally enough to last for a long time, are being dwindled at a terrifying rate due to the daily consumption of tens of thousands of people like hungry chicks.

Black Dwarf looked at everything in front of him, and deep worry appeared on his rock-like face.

"Don't worry, since I've taken you in, I won't let you starve to death."

Several days passed slowly in the deep silence of the universe.

A beautiful blue planet appeared before my eyes. It was like a dazzling gem inlaid in the black satin of the universe, emitting a charming and mysterious light.

Wes turned on the spaceship's stealth mode, and the spaceship slowly descended towards the earth like a transparent ghost.

Weiss looked out the porthole at the familiar scene below.

New York, this bustling metropolis, is still so lively, as if it is a never-ending carnival party.

Weiss arrived at the Fisk Building without any obstruction. As soon as he appeared, the younger brothers in the building immediately recognized him. These younger brothers were in awe of Weiss and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. They hurriedly surrounded Weiss and respectfully led him to Kingpin's office.

Jin Bing has been living a very comfortable and happy life these days, as if the god of fate has been particularly kind to him.

The research on the dragon bones progressed very smoothly. The mysterious dragon bones seemed to contain infinite mysteries. Every breakthrough in the research brought him one step closer to his goal of resurrecting his wife and children, which rekindled his strong desire for family reunion in his heart.

In the underworld, he was at the peak of his powers. With his ruthless methods and outstanding leadership skills, he successfully conquered the entire New York underworld.

Now, every one of his orders is like an imperial decree, and no one in the New York underworld dares to disobey.

In terms of economy, after digesting the huge assets left by the vampires, the scale of his wealth grew exponentially, and his assets increased several times.

His business empire expanded further, and various legal and illegal businesses flourished under his control.

At this time, Jin Bing was truly full of ambition and standing at the peak of his life.

However, Kingpin knew very well that most of his achievements today were brought to him by Wes.

When Weiss walked into the office, Kingpin immediately stood up from his seat, walked over to him with a big smile on his face, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Erwin, long time no see."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and asked about each other's recent situation. It seemed relaxed and casual, but in fact both parties knew that they were about to get down to business.

Kingpin smiled and said, "Those vampires are incredibly wealthy. Their wealth is beyond imagination. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. also got a share of it."

As he spoke, Jin pulled out a specially made card from the drawer of his desk and gently pushed it in front of Weiss.

He continued, "There's $10 billion in it. This is only part of our gains this time, but I promise that every penny has a clear source, so you can use it with confidence."

One billion US dollars is an astronomical figure that is enough to shock anyone. No matter where in the world it is, it is by no means a small amount for any individual.

However, Weiss simply glanced at the card carrying a huge fortune and pushed it back without hesitation. There was no trace of greed for money in his eyes; the billion dollars was just a number in his eyes.

Weiss asked bluntly, "Is everything I want ready?"

Seeing this, Jin Bing nodded quickly and replied, "It didn't cost much. Those things have been prepared according to your requirements and can be delivered to you at any time."

There was a hint of relief in his tone. After all, in his opinion, completing the task assigned by Wes did not take up too much of his energy and resources.

Weiss frowned slightly, then continued, "I need your help with something else."

Jin Bing immediately straightened up and responded respectfully, "You tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do it for you."

Weiss took a deep breath and slowly stated his needs.

After listening to this, Jin Bing frowned and said with difficulty: "Life supplies for 100,000 people?"

His heart was like a raging storm; the scale of this task far exceeded his expectations.

This is not a simple small order, but involves a huge amount of supplies enough to support the lives of 100,000 people.

It’s not that Jin doesn’t have the ability to prepare these supplies. As the overlord of the New York underworld, he controls a huge network of resources and theoretically can gather these things.

However, mobilizing resources on such a large scale will inevitably attract the attention of all parties.

The government, other gangs, law enforcement agencies, and even some mysterious organizations hiding in the dark may notice this unusual movement.

Kingpin looked at Weiss with a puzzled expression and couldn't help asking, "Are you preparing to start a war?"

Because the supplies Weiss requested were of various types, ranging from large amounts of food enough to feed 100,000 people, to various seeds that could be used for long-term planting, to various livestock needed to maintain life and production, and even weapons.

All these things put together made Jin think of the scene of war.

Even though he was a man who could make things happen in the New York underworld, he felt a little overwhelmed when faced with such a difficult situation.

Weiss shook his head and said calmly, "Just taking in some homeless people."

Then he briefly told Kingpin about his experiences in the universe.

Kingpin was fascinated by the story and was completely immersed in the cosmic story told by Weiss.

Colorful pictures kept appearing in his mind, as if he was in that mysterious universe.

"The world outside is so wonderful." He couldn't help but sigh.

However, while sighing, Kingpin also deeply felt the gap between himself and Wes.

He realized that the world Wes experienced was so vast and so magical, while he had always been stuck in the tiny city of New York.

Despite his power and wealth in New York, it all seemed so small compared to the vast universe that Wes presented.

He began to understand that he and Wes were not on the same level at all, and this gap was like an insurmountable chasm between them.
