Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 58: Those who work in the news are really something else!

Orange, Connecticut.

By this time, the sun had fully risen, and the gentle breeze seemed to bring the fallen trees back to life.

The villa, which had been silent all night, was now bustling with noise.

A large number of Connecticut police officers and paramedics are working to cordon off the scene, while bodies are being rapidly loaded into ambulances.

However, Luca, the owner of the villa, sat calmly on the sofa in the living room, watching these busy people.

Just then, Simpson, the lawyer who had been negotiating with the police, seemingly having reached an agreement, abandoned the helpless sheriff and walked straight toward Luca with his assistant Fudge.

“Mr. Orange, you really gave me a surprise attack this time.”

Seeing the other person's pained expression, Luca simply smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all.

Although Attorney Simpson was indeed called out of his home in the middle of the night to deal with this thorny issue, he had paid her a fair share of the money, so he couldn't possibly feel guilty just because she complained a little.

'Yeah, don't even think about paying more!'

Simpson, sensing Luca's lack of response, immediately composed himself, displaying a professional demeanor.

"Mr. Orange, we are very grateful for the surveillance cameras installed at your villa. The police have preliminarily determined it to be self-defense and will only investigate the part about the intruder."

"only."

"Just what?" Luca asked casually, tapping his fingers lightly on the sofa armrest.

“However, due to the lack of sufficient surveillance footage, we can only confirm that you and your bodyguards fought back effectively when the villa was broken into, but there is not enough evidence regarding the subsequent kidnapping,” Simpson continued to explain.

"Furthermore, since you stated in your statement that the kidnapping took place in Manhattan, New York, this part may require cooperation between the Connecticut local police and the New York police to investigate in order to determine the veracity of your statement."

Upon hearing this, Luca simply shrugged slightly.

"That's all the surveillance footage we have. As for the New York Police Department, once they find the warehouse, the truth will naturally come to light."

"As for the remaining work, isn't that precisely why I hired a lawyer like you?"

Upon hearing Luca's words, Simpson gave a professional smile.

“That’s for sure. In fact, many of my long-time clients live in the houses near your villa. The entire community council is taking this attack by these thugs very seriously. They will put pressure on the Connecticut Police Department and continue to monitor the situation.”

"Afterwards, I will contact some old friends in the media to prepare a press release based on the Connecticut State Police's statement. I believe that even the New York Police Department would not want to escalate the impact of this matter further."

He took a document covered in sticky notes from Fudge next to him and handed it to Luca.

"However, before that, the media and the community committee need Mr. Orange to sign this authorization letter first."

Luca quickly scanned the contents of the authorization letter, then took out a pen and smoothly signed his name on the paper before smiling and handing it back to Simpson.

"As expected of a professional, you always handle these things perfectly."

Simpson took the documents and looked at the police cars gradually driving away outside, speaking softly.

"Your safety is the greatest reward for us."

However, at that moment, perhaps feeling that the formal work between Simpson and Luca was finished, Fudge, who had been standing silently by his side, looked at Luca with a complicated expression and asked a question.

"Mr. Orange, is it really true that the commotion in Hell's Kitchen last night had nothing to do with you?"

However, before he could even finish asking the question, and before Luca could say anything, Simpson sternly interrupted him.

"Shut up! Nelson! Are you making baseless accusations against an important client of the law firm?!" After saying that, Simpson ignored Fudge's expression, immediately put on an apologetic smile, and turned to look at Luca.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Orange. You know, these young intern lawyers always tend to have some unrealistic expectations.”

Upon hearing this, Luca simply shrugged to indicate that he didn't care, then looked innocently at the embarrassed Fudge.

"It's nothing, but I haven't had much time to keep up with the news since I was kidnapped last night. What is Mr. Fudge referring to as the Hell's Kitchen unrest?"

This time, Simpson spoke up without Fudge having to explain.

"It's just some trivial gossip. But you see, it's getting late. We need to go back to the law firm to handle this case later."

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to Ms. Simpson.” Luca smiled nonchalantly.

Upon seeing this, Simpson gave another slightly apologetic bow.

"Then let's say goodbye."

"By the way, if Mr. Orange needs temporary accommodation, I think some of my friends on the community board would be happy to lend you their places temporarily."

Luca smiled slightly upon hearing this, knowing that the other party was making up for Fudge's recklessness earlier.

However, Luca didn't really care about any of that; he just smiled and saw Simpson and the other man off from the villa.

After watching the two leave the villa, he shook his head helplessly.

'It seems that the share transfer agreement cannot be handled by Rand Law Firm.'

While thinking about these things, Luca casually picked up the tablet next to him and started browsing the morning news.

What was displayed prominently on the tablet was—

[Explosive! New York's largest underground gang collapses, and the culprit behind Hell's Kitchen's endless chaos is revealed to be him!]
Seeing Kingpin's picture prominently displayed on the news homepage, Luca's lips twitched involuntarily.

'Those who actually do journalism are really capable.'

On the other side, Samira, who had just hung up the phone, jogged over to Luca's side, leaned down and whispered something.

"Young Master, Dunshan and the others have been settled."

Upon hearing this, Luca's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded slightly.

"Let them rest for a couple of days."

Considering the somewhat abrupt nature of the Reverse A Squad's existence, they are not included in Luca's script tonight.

So before arriving at the villa, he and Samira got out of the car early and returned to the villa alone to deal with the police.

Now that they have settled down and Kingpin, their biggest threat, is no longer around, Luca has no intention of recalling them immediately.

"I'll bring them along when I bring my mother back after things have calmed down in a couple of days."

Seeing that Luca had made a decision, Samira prepared to step back and call Dunshan and the others again.

However, Luca immediately called her back.

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Samira, could you please prepare some more things for me?"
