"Hasn't Mr. Baker been working on the far side of the moon?" Schiller asked, "Has he also participated in the selection of technicians for the Star Core Space Station?"
"Yes, because Rebecca works in the space station. Oh, why did I forget to mention that Rebecca is the girl he likes. She is a good girl, well-educated, beautiful, and very serious about her work."
Casada showed a hesitant expression and said, "But Baker has always been very self-conscious. He feels that he has a poor family background, has not received much education, and is average looking. He is completely inferior to Rebecca's other suitors."
"Working on the far side of the moon is a long-term job with great technical difficulty and it is difficult to produce results. However, he is just an ordinary technician and basically no one listens to him. So Baker wants to work in the space station for a while and get the identity of a technical supervisor. This way, it will be easier for him to pursue his career or chase girls."
"Wait a minute, ma'am." Schiller realized the problem and said, "Mr. Baker joined the solar system development program so early and has such rich work experience and strong abilities, but he is still just an ordinary employee until now?"
Casada sighed and said, "He has a terrible temper. He gets mad at the slightest provocation. He is a man of honor, but he is too self-centered. He has offended every executive he could. I heard that he has pissed off the director of SHIELD. He has been promoted and demoted, and he almost got fired for making a mistake a while ago."
Schiller nodded, knowing that it would be extremely difficult for such a person to get promoted, but perhaps love had such magic that people who usually looked down on management were also thinking about sharpening their heads to climb up.
Just as she was saying this, Kasarda's phone rang. She picked up the phone and said a few words, then hung up and said, "Rebecca just called my husband. They had met at work before. She said she had prepared an interview guide and wanted Baker to take a good look at it and try to apply for the position of technical director."
"It seems that Baker is not as unpopular as he thinks," Schiller said. "Although such people are often regarded as troublemakers by their superiors, they also have unique personal charm because they are quick-witted and fearless of power."
"Who says it's not true?" Casada said, "Sometimes I can feel his pain. When he explodes, his emotions are completely out of his control. On weekdays, he has to worry about whether he will explode and hurt others, but this is not his fault at all."
"I think I know who I should go to," Peter said suddenly.
Schiller looked at him, and Peter said, "Although the Star Core Space Station is not a confidential project, the interview list must be a confidential document. Otherwise, it would be too easy for someone to tamper with the candidates. It is impossible that Nick would not even consider such a thing."
"These confidential documents are not accessible to ordinary people in Brooklyn. Even if they heard about the recruitment information, they have no way to get it. So the problem must be with the upper level."
"If there is anyone in the entire Brooklyn area who has access to this list, it's only Kingpin."
All kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of Jin Bing's palace. Celebrities walked on the red carpet into the luxurious building, with festive and congratulatory expressions on their faces.
Today is Jin Bing's birthday and he is holding his own birthday party.
Jin Bing, who was still tall and strong, was tidying up his clothes in his room, preparing to make a stunning appearance, but at this moment there was a movement on the balcony.
Jin didn't look surprised at all. He looked at the figure walking over from the balcony and said familiarly, "Peter, why are you going through the window again? Don't you know you can enter through the main entrance with the invitation?"
"I lost the invitation." Peter said unhappily, "I'm not interested in attending your birthday party."
Jin Bing was not angry at all, and his expression was kind. He said, "That's fine. When you have a birthday, send me an invitation and I will definitely come."
Kingpin could not hide the smile on his face. It was completely different from before. He was now happy to see Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is great, he can fight, run, do scientific research and he is also simple-minded. What kind of worker is he?
It must be that damn black guy who took the initiative, otherwise how could he have taken down half of the five or six hundred Spider-Men?
If there were more than 200 Spider-Men, not to mention the solar system development plan, even the spacecraft manufacturing industry could be touched upon. There are planets made of gold in the universe.
Besides, other Spider-Mans are fine, but this Spider-Man of mine is particularly valuable. When I was fighting him, why didn't I realize that this guy could develop interstellar transportation technology? If I had discovered it at that time, wouldn't I be lying on a gold mountain like Stark counting money now?
He was born at the wrong time, Kingpin thought to himself while gritting his teeth. If only he had discovered Spider-Man's value earlier, Spider-Man would call him a criminal and he would call Spider-Man his godfather. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they could each talk about their own things?
Peter came to see me alone now. Although on the surface it was not to congratulate me, at least he came, which meant that my hospitality during this period was not in vain.
"Did you know about Bullseye's death?" Peter asked.
"Oh, him, he's dead, Jin doesn't care." He said: "This guy has always been restless, has too many ideas, and his brain is still unresponsive. What era is it now, and he still wants to drag me into traditional crimes."
"He's seen you before."
"He came to me right after he got out of prison, and I chased him away. I heard he was killed on his way back home, but so what? It was all his own fault."
"Did you know that someone has kidnapped the future technical director of the Star Core Space Station?"
Jin Bing was shocked.
Peter understood everything from his expression. He said, "It seems that you are indeed related to this matter. What's going on?"
"I didn't kidnap anyone." Jin Bing said, "I don't need to do this. I am one of the investors of the space station. Why would I kidnap my own people?"
"The future technical director... Oh, you mean the guy who can turn into sand? What's his name?... I forgot, he's a good candidate. Is he missing?"
"Yes, and it wasn't just him. I was attacked as well. Have you been following the recent cases in Brooklyn?"
"What cases have there been in Brooklyn lately?"
"I mean small cases. There were several shops that had items stolen and a gun shop that was robbed. The problem is that the surveillance cameras didn't capture anyone, and the guy who attacked me on the street yesterday was an invisible man."
Jin Bing was obviously stunned. He was a well-known figure and had no time to care about petty thefts, but he understood what Peter meant.
If the person who went after Baker was heading for the Star Core Space Station, how did he know that Baker was on the list?
If the list is leaked, who is the most suspicious?
Of course, all the people on the list are suspects, but the problem is that there is only one person who has been cleansed from the underworld. Regardless of whether Jin Bing did it or not, he will definitely be the most suspected.
Jin Bing immediately called his subordinates and said, "Go check if there is anything strange happening around here recently, especially if something is missing."
Kingpin and Peter waited in the room for a long time. The guests below were getting impatient. Suddenly, a professionally dressed lady pushed the door open and said, "Sir, I have reported to you before that the gold fountain pen in your study is missing. We searched the entire palace but found no clues. The surveillance cameras didn't capture anything."
"Study?!" Jin Bing was shocked again. He immediately rushed downstairs with his men and came to the study where he usually worked.
The place is still decorated magnificently, with all kinds of sculptures bought from all over the world at great expense. Even the table is sprinkled with gold foil, and the dazzling light makes it hard to open one's eyes.
Peter couldn't accept this kind of aesthetic, but he could only choose to respect it. He walked to the desk and said, "You didn't even know you lost your pen. Is it made of gold?"
"It's just gold-plated." Jin Bing said, "Even if it's pure gold, it's not worth much. When did you lose the pen?"
"About last Wednesday, I reported it several times, but you didn't respond to me."
"I thought it just fell into some corner and was found naturally during the general cleaning. This is not the first time you have done this."
The lady in charge of housekeeping was obviously embarrassed. They had indeed lost small items before, but this was inevitable. Besides, it was just a pen and not worth much, so why make a fuss?
"What were you doing then?"
"I am indeed thinking about the candidate for the supervisor. I originally wanted to choose Baker." Kingpin remembered Sandman's name. He said, "But his boss called and said that he has a bad temper and doesn't follow the rules. If he becomes the supervisor, he will definitely mess up everything, so I am a little hesitant."
"Could anyone have heard your call?"
"No..." Jin Bing was about to say it was impossible, but he thought that it was impossible for ordinary people, but it was hard to say for the invisible man.
Kingpin's hometown was well guarded. The reason Spider-Man was able to get in so easily was not because he was really strong, but because Kingpin gave him a whitelist, making it convenient for him to enter and exit.
There is no way the rest of them could get past the first line of defense. Even if Captain America came, he would have to fight at the second line of defense and it would be impossible for him to sneak in silently.
"All our surveillance rooms are fully equipped with thermal imaging..."
"Thermal imaging can't detect it." Peter said, "I tried it. The other party might be using magic."
Kingpin was silent. He said, "I don't know much about magic."
Everyone was silent, because they knew little about magic. It was an extremely niche thing in the past. Even famous criminals did not have a high chance of encountering a wizard, so it was normal that they did not know much about it.
"I'll call the Temple." Kingpin said, "If it's something on the magic side, they must be responsible. I pay so much tax every year..."
"Don't be impatient yet." Peter said, "Do you want everyone to know that the list was leaked from you?"
Jin Bing paused, looked at Peter in surprise and said, "Are our roles reversed? Shouldn't you be the one rushing to call the police, while I'm trying to cover up the truth?"
"If calling the police can solve the problem, I will let the sirens collapse your building." Peter said, "Once this gets out, everyone will know that the list has been leaked, and some people may even be kidnapped because of the list. Then everyone on the list will be in danger and may even give up the interview. What will happen to the third round of selection? What will happen to the future selections?"
"And the fact that you're an investor isn't a good thing. I guess you didn't even announce it to the public? If the public knew that the former mafia boss was involved in the construction of the space station, and that the news came from you, the president and his staff would come and kick you into the sea."
Kingpin coughed twice and looked a little embarrassed. Although insiders knew that he had cleaned up his act, this was still a bit too advanced for the public. Everyone knew that he was the godfather of the East Coast mafia, and suddenly he was joining in the cosmic vision. Those who knew knew that he had to clean up his act, but those who didn't thought that he was going to expand his mafia business into the universe.
The general election is not far away. People are already dissatisfied with the security situation on the East Coast, and they have finally made up for it a little with the speed of development. Now gangs are being involved, which will deal a devastating blow to the public opinion of the current ruling party.
Jin Bing also didn't want to be at odds with the president, so he said, "I don't believe this guy is completely invisible. He must have used some external force. If that's the case, it's impossible for him to be truly invisible. It seems I have to ask that guy to come out again."
"Who?"
"Daredevil Matt."
In a small villa in Queens, Matt was taking his baby out of the cradle. He was rocking the baby and humming a little tune when he suddenly heard some noise upstairs.
He put the child in the stroller and pushed him to the top of the stairs, then he climbed a few steps and called out, "What's wrong? Erica? Are you awake?"
"Your phone is ringing." Erica's sleepy voice came from upstairs, "Hurry up and take it away. I want to get some more sleep. The child cried for too long last night. I am so sleepy."
Matt tiptoed up and took out his cell phone, then pushed the stroller into the yard. He took a look at the number on the caller ID and his face immediately darkened.
"Why are you calling me? Kingpin?... It's your birthday. Do you want me to... Oh, thank you. He will be one year old in 12 days. By then I will... What on earth do you want?!"
