Chapter 109 The Rhino Man in the New York Underground Passage

2 p.m., inside the FBI in New York.

"Benjamin Connors?"

Listening to Alice's report, Lynn Hall said as he walked towards his office, "Didn't he just come back from space last month? What, did he discover aliens in space?"

"Although I haven't been paying attention to this matter, there hasn't been any unusual information from NASA."

When Lynn asked, Alice shrugged: "He wouldn't tell you the specifics, insisting that you come back first."

"But boss, I can sense a strong sense of fear emanating from Benjamin. He even mentioned disappearing..."

"Like, Robert is right!"

Following Alice's advice, Lynn pushed open the office door.

"Mr. Hall, you're finally back! You have to save me! I don't want to disappear, I don't want to be forgotten by the whole world like Robert."

Seeing Benjamin Connors' unusually agitated state, Lynn gestured for Barbara to pour him a glass of water.

After returning to his seat, Lynn finally spoke, "Mr. Benjamin, now you can tell me exactly what happened!"

Taking the water glass from Barbara, Benjamin Connors immediately asked, "Mr. Hall, do you know how many people we sent to space six months ago?"

When Benjamin asked, Lynn shook her head: "Six months ago, I was dealing with a very complicated case, so I didn't pay much attention. Barbara, do you remember?"

"There are four astronauts in total!"

Upon hearing Lynn's question, Barbara immediately replied, "They are Mr. Benjamin, Mr. Cecilia Michael, Mr. Abel Willis, and Ms. Ariel Pansy!"

"And because this space mission was extremely difficult yet successfully completed, the president is preparing to award it a medal!"

Hearing Barbara's words, Benjamin Connors' hands trembled slightly. He then looked at Lynn and said, "Mr. Hall, would you believe me if I told you that there are six astronauts going to space this time?"

Then Benjamin Connors recounted the events to Lynn Hall.

Listening to Benjamin Connors's retelling, Lynn frowned and said, "You mean, besides the four of you astronauts, there were two other astronauts named Robert Kenny and Aaron Needham?"

"And all you remember is Robert Kenny, and the person you heard about from him, Aaron Needham?"

"That's right!"

Looking at Lynn, Benjamin Connors nodded repeatedly: "Although I don't remember Aaron Needham,

But I'm quite certain that Robert Kenny is with us on our journey to space.

"And the media and newspapers all reported on it, but this morning I discovered that all news about Robert Kenny in the world has disappeared!"

"Mr. Hall, you must save me! I don't want to end up like Robert!"

Looking at Benjamin, who kept pleading with him, Lynn pondered for a few seconds: "Barbara, have Joey look up information on Robert Kenny."

"OK!"

Upon hearing Lynn's instruction, Barbara immediately went outside.

A moment later, Barbara returned and shook her head at Lynn, saying, "According to Mr. Benjamin's description, we haven't found any information about Mr. Robert Kenny."

"Robert Kenny's parents don't remember ever having such a son!"

"I even called NASA, and they were absolutely certain that only four astronauts went on the mission to space six months ago!"

Upon hearing Barbara's report of the investigation results, Benjamin immediately said, "Mr. Hall, as you've seen..."

"The whole world has forgotten Robert now, you must save me!"

After calming Benjamin down, Lynn gave Barbara a wink.

"Mr. Benjamin, if this is true, I will investigate!"

You can now.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying in the FBI building. It's the only safe place here!"

Upon hearing Lynn's offer to let him leave, Benjamin immediately grabbed the chair.

Seeing this, Lynn nodded and said, "Alright, if you want to stay here, then Barbara..."

Take him to the lounge!

"yes!"

Barbara nodded and looked at Benjamin, saying, "Mr. Benjamin, please come with me. At the FBI..."

You are safe inside the building!

Upon hearing Barbara's words, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, then got up and left with Barbara.

After taking him to the lounge, Barbara returned to Lynn's office and said, "I've already contacted the hospital designated by NASA, and the doctors there will be here soon."

"Boss, I think it's because Benjamin spent too much time in space that he developed a split personality and started imagining a Robert Kenny who grew up with him."

After listening to Barbara's analysis, Lynn thought for a few seconds and said, "Maybe, but my intuition tells me he's not lying."

"Have Alice send people to monitor him 24 hours a day, and have the attending physician treat him here after he arrives."

"Also, contact NASA to see if the other three astronauts have this issue!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Lynn's order, Barbara immediately nodded.

"Boss, where are you going?"

Seeing Lynn get up to leave, Barbara went over and helped him put on his coat: "Are you going to the Illuminati base?"

"Um!"

Lynn pinched Barbara's pert buttocks and said, "Recently, several rhinoceros-men have appeared in the New York subway system. I'm going to go see what's going on!"

"Rhino people? Like the lizard people back then?"

"It's unclear yet, but if it really is like the Reptilians, New York is probably going to descend into chaos again!"

After saying that, Lynn left the office.

Half an hour later, inside the Illuminati base.

Watching the analysis of Rhino's various physical characteristics on the big screen, Lynn asked Peter Parker, "Peter, you just said that Rhino transforms by drinking a beverage?"

"Yes, Lynn, and the transformation process only takes three hours. Scott and I locked those rhino people in the cube prison to observe them."

"They were found to revert to human form after three hours, and during interrogation, they all claimed to have transformed into rhinoceros-men by drinking a beverage."

"And after transforming into rhinoceros-men, they lose all self-awareness!"

Hearing Peter say this, Lynn nodded: "Have you found out exactly what kind of drink it was?"

"The investigation is still ongoing, but one of the Rhino men said he bought the drink from a drug dealer, who claimed it was the newest type of drug on the market."

"Gwen and Ororo have gone to arrest this drug dealer. We'll probably find out soon."

As the two were talking, Gwen and Ororo walked in together from outside.

"You're back!"

Upon seeing Lynn, Gwen immediately threw herself at him: "When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just got back. By the way, what about that drug dealer you and Ororo went to arrest?"

In response to Lynn's question, Gwen shrugged and said, "We didn't catch him. By the time Ororo and I arrived, he had already escaped."

"And even the city's surveillance cameras couldn't find any trace of that drug dealer."

Hearing Gwen say this, Lynn frowned: "If the Rhino Man really mutated because he drank this new type of drug, then once this drug enters the market, it will inevitably bring great disaster to New York."

As he spoke, Lynn had Friday pull up the drug dealers' information while dialing Sean's number.

As soon as the call connected, Lynn immediately said, "Sean, immediately take men and search the entire city for a guy named Justin Francis. I've already had the details sent to your phone on Friday."

Additionally, mobilize informants and issue a reward for information leading to Justin's arrest.

Francis said that anyone who provides useful information will receive a reward of ten thousand dollars.

"A $50,000 reward will be given to whoever captures Justin Francis!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing Lynn's order, Sean immediately began to carry it out.

After hanging up, Lynn dialed Kingpin's number again.

Good afternoon, Mr. Hall.

"Good afternoon, Kingpin. There's something I need you to do!"

Inside Hell's Kitchen.

After hanging up the phone, Kingpin looked at Bullseye, who was playing with a dagger, and said, "Get your men moving, 24..."

Find Justin Francis within hours!

"no problem!"

Upon hearing Kingpin's command, Bullseye shrugged.

He stood up, ready to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "Boss, is this another order from that Lynn Hall?"

"Pfft, I just don't understand. Why do you always prefer to associate with someone like Lynn Hall, who's an official? It's not in line with our status!"

"We're gang members, not some lackey that Lynn Hall keeps..."

"FUXX!"

He casually tossed the cigar onto Bullseye, who caught it cleanly and even took a puff.

Kingpin said, "Just do what I tell you to do. Why all the nonsense?"

"Fine, you're the boss, you have the money, I'll do as you say!"

After saying that, Bullseye shrugged and then turned and left.

Ignoring Bullseye, who was having some mental lapses, Kingpin took out his phone and made a call.

Once the call connected, Kingpin said, "Let's start building momentum. The FBI won't stop us now!"

"Okay, boss!"

Upon hearing Kingpin's words, the person on the other end of the phone immediately began to act.

Within the Campino family.

Looking at the butler in front of him, Polinka Campino, who had just taken over the family's "business," said, "Mr. Hall has asked our Campino family for help, hoping that we can find Justin Francis."

"This is the first time Mr. Hall has contacted us proactively. We must try to find this guy before the other four major families!"

With that, Polinka Campno forwarded the character information to the butler.

After glancing at the information about Justin Francis on his phone, the butler nodded and said, "If we can get on Mr. Lynn Hall's side, it will be very beneficial for our Campno family."

"However, young master, our Campno family's main business is not drugs, so if we want to find this guy, we will have to use some unconventional methods."

Hearing the butler say this, Polinka Campno laughed and said, "Any means are acceptable, as long as we can get in touch with Mr. Lynn Hall, then it's all worth it."

"Just like last time when we took over the Incheon Club's territory!"

"Yes, young master, I'll go prepare right away!"

The butler nodded and turned to leave.

Two hours later, in a very secluded house in the Bronx.

"Fuck you, Justin, what the hell have you done? Damn it, everyone in the underworld and legitimate society is after you, even the FBI has a bounty on your head."

"So, instead of dealing drugs, you've become a terrorist?"

Listening to the gang leader's curses on the other end of the phone, Justin Francis also felt somewhat aggrieved.

He was just a small-time drug dealer in the Bloodbird Gang. Why would he need Spider-Woman and Storm from the Illuminati to capture him?

If I hadn't been quick-witted, I probably would have been locked up in jail long ago.

"Boss, I don't know exactly what happened. I was just selling things on gang territory as usual..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you, where are you right now?"

Just as Justin Francis was about to reveal his location upon hearing his boss's question, Justin Francis was about to answer.

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly said, "Boss, you're not planning to hand me over to those cops, are you?"

"Fuxx, is your head filled with shit? If I sell you to the cops, how am I supposed to live in the future?"

"Besides, I'm not only your boss, I'm also your cousin. Would I betray you? Tell me where you are right now so I can arrange for you to run away!"

Hearing his boss say that, Justin finally felt relieved: "Boss, I'm in that old house in the Bronx, the abandoned house where Aunt Julia lived when I was a kid. Make arrangements quickly, I really don't want to go to jail!"

Upon hearing Justin's reply, the boss said, "Just wait there. I'll arrange for you to escape right away. Remember, whatever you do, don't leave that area, or if the cops catch you, I can't save you!"

"Understood, understood, thank you, boss!"

After saying that, Justin Francis hung up the phone.

Fortunately, my older cousin is very loyal, otherwise I might have ended up in jail!

Brooklyn, within the Blood Bird Gang's territory.

After hanging up the phone, the Bloodbird gang leader said with a fawning smile, "Boss Bullseye, you heard it too, Justin Francis is hiding in the Bronx, the exact address..."

Hearing the Bloodbird gang leader betray Justin without hesitation, Bullseye said, "I thought you were a loyal friend. Isn't he your cousin?"

"Boss Bullseye, he's just my cousin, not my biological brother. Besides, I didn't lie; I didn't betray him to the cops!"

Looking at the self-righteous guy in front of him, Bullseye finally put away the gun he had been holding to the guy's head and said, "You're a talent!"

After saying that, Bullseye led his men away.

After Bullseye left, the Blood Bird Gang leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, then muttered to himself, "Don't blame me, cousin. Who told you to mess with the wrong person?"

After saying that, the Blood Bird Gang leader immediately prepared to pack his things and flee New York.

Before he could even put the money in his bag, a dart pierced his head.

Seeing the guy lying stiffly on the ground, Bullseye, who had returned, fired several shots at his corpse.

"Damn it, I hate these scumbags who betray their own families the most!"

Two hours later, inside the Illuminati base.

"Lynn, do you really think those gangsters will listen to you? And that's Kingpin, the biggest villain in Hell's Kitchen. Are you sure it's okay to get involved with him?"

Sitting across from Lynn, Peter hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question.

"I thought you were going to keep it all bottled up!"

Lynn smiled as he looked at Peter Parker, who had hesitated for a long time before finally asking what was on his mind.

"I just feel that you are the director of the FBI in New York and a superhero, while Kingpin is a gang leader and a supervillain. People with your identities should be natural opposites."

Hearing Peter say this, Lynn laughed and said, "Peter, there has never been absolute black and white in this world. Just like those four on Mount Rushmore, Washington was a slave owner and a supporter of the policy of massacring Native Americans. Jefferson enslaved more than 600 people in his lifetime. Theodore Roosevelt and Lincoln were the same."

More often than not, power is like a whip; the whip itself is neither right nor wrong, only the person wielding it decides who to strike!

"I didn't understand!"

Hearing Lynn say that, Peter Parker scratched his head.

"Lynn means that although he is now the FBI Director of New York, he cannot use that position to completely eradicate gangs."

"After all, once the existing gangs are completely eradicated, more gangs will emerge to seize the territory, which will inevitably cause chaos, and even more innocent people will die in the process."

"So in this situation, Lynn, wielding the whip that symbolizes power, can strike those gang members and make them feel the pain."

"This whip can also be used to intimidate gang members, making them obey out of fear!"

Steve came downstairs and explained to Peter Parker.

Hearing Steve say this, Peter Parker suddenly realized, "Just like now, Lynn can get Kingpin to obediently help with a single phone call?"

"Okay, but Captain, how do you know so much?"

In response to Peter's curiosity, Steve shrugged: "Whoever is treated like a monkey that can ride a bicycle by those in power, and then forced to perform on stage to sell bonds."

"Then he will understand this principle."

"A monkey riding a bicycle? I think I've seen this picture in your notebook, Captain."

As Peter was speaking, a car horn suddenly sounded outside the Illuminati base.

"Peter, Bullseye has brought Justin Francis over. Go and bring him back!"

Lynn spoke up, looking at Peter Parker's curious expression.

"So fast? Good heavens, sometimes it feels like gangsters are even more useful than the NYPD!"

With that, Peter Parker immediately walked outside.

A few minutes later, inside the interrogation room!

Looking at the photos laid out in front of him, Justin Francis looked sullen.

His cousin did not betray him to the cops, but he sold him directly to Bullseye.

Damn it, when I saw Bullseye with a group of people surrounding the house from outside the window, I almost peed my pants.

After all, which gangster doesn't know Bullseye's ruthless methods?

"These are the people who bought drugs from you. You should know them!"

Looking at Justin Francis in front of him, Lynn said, "After they drank the new drugs they bought from you, they all turned into Rhino Men without exception."

"Justin, I'll only ask you one question now: where did you get this drug?"

"If you don't want to end up in a heavy jail and have to see a proctologist every week, you'd better tell me the truth!"

Faced with Lynn's undisguised threat, Justin Francis turned pale and then explained, "I really didn't know this new drug could turn people into rhinos."

"Mr. Hall, when I first heard that those Mexicans had developed a drinkable drug with hallucinogenic effects several times stronger than regular flour, I secretly bought a batch without telling my cousin, the leader of the Blood Bird Gang, hoping to make a fortune from it!"

"The result... well, I swear to God, I really didn't know it would have this effect."

"That mad scientist must have done it on purpose!"

"A mad scientist?"

"That's right. I heard that group of Mexicans found a mad scientist to help them make drugs. I don't know the specifics, but since then, their drugs have been purer than those on the market!"

Hearing Justin Hammer's reply, Lynn frowned and asked, "Where are those Mexicans?"

"The black neighborhood of Brooklyn!"

Seeing Lynn Hall stand up, Justin Francis immediately said, "Mr. Hall, I've cooperated fully and confessed everything. You're not going to throw me into hard labor, are you?"

Lynn gave a cold laugh in response to Justin's request, then turned and left.

Evening in Brooklyn's predominantly Black neighborhood.

Following the address provided by Justin Francis, Lynn led the Illuminati to a factory, just as they were about to enter to arrest the group of Mexicans and the mad scientist.

But the next second, Lynn's spider senses began to issue a warning.

"Watch out, something's not right here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a rhinoceros-man burst through the factory wall and charged straight at Lynn with his scarlet eyes.

Seeing the rhinoceros suddenly appear and charge towards him, Lynn grabbed the giant horn on the rhinoceros's head with one hand and swung it forcefully, throwing it directly to the other side of the wall.

"Puff..."

The violent impact knocked down the thick wall, but then dozens of rhinoceros-men rushed out from every corner of the factory.

"My God, are there so many rhinoceros-men hiding here? Have we intruded into their lair?"

Peter Parker shot out a spider silk that blindfolded a rhinoceros-man, and quickly rushed forward, attacking the rhinoceros-man while talking.

After glancing around, Lynn released his power, and hundreds of bricks floated in the air before being hurled at the group of rhinoceros men.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With a series of muffled thuds, the group of rhinoceros men charging towards Lynn were forced back by the falling bricks and stones.

Looking at the group of rhinoceros-men who roared at him and then charged forward fearlessly, Lynn said, "These rhinoceros-men must be those Mexican drug dealers in disguise. Jean, Ororo, don't hold back."

"Just take them out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn released his heat vision, which instantly pierced through the head of a rhinoceros-man!

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Jean Grey and Ororo immediately unleashed their energy to attack.

Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, burning the rhinoceros-men to a crisp.

Jean Grey's Phoenix Force directly tore the Rhino who was charging at him to shreds!

As soon as the two unleashed their attacks, the rhinoceros-men were instantly suppressed.

Upon seeing this, Lynn teleported to the Mexicans' stronghold to search, but unfortunately, there wasn't a soul in sight.
