Superman

Luke, who returned to Washington, DC, did not have a few quiet days.

The White House, the Pentagon gang, take turns visiting every day.

The Red Square meeting has almost clarified the contradiction between the two superpowers and the future situation.

The whole world wants to know which side Superman is on.

To be more precise, everyone is worried.

Will Superman become a "weapon" and be dropped on the battlefield.

Luke had never thought of being a Doctor of Manhattan. In case Howard couldn't think about it, he would be regarded as the biggest threat in the world.

Then designed a series of conspiracies, and finally ended the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony with the lives of nearly 8 million people in New York, and the three wars broke out.

And he went to Mars and completely lost his humanity...

That's boring.

The world line of the watchmen is destined to be impossible in the Marvel universe.

So, in order to avoid the harassment of politicians, and also to prepare Captain America for the bachelor party before getting married, Luke specially took Howard to Las Vegas to gather.

They are sitting on a passenger plane heading to Nevada. Due to limited conditions, they do not want to be victimized by public criticism.

The two did not call a bunch of flight attendants to dance pole dancing in the first class.

That kind of corrupt and depraved luxury life can only be done by Iron Man.

"Why would you want to open a hotel and casino in Las Vegas?"

Howard asked curiously.

Nevada is mostly a barren desert, discovered by Mexican merchants, and then a group of Mormons came.

It wasn't until the Union Pacific railroad was connected that it gradually flourished.

Later, it was the gold rush that prompted a large influx of people.

But just like the mining towns in the west, when the resources of the gold and silver mines are exhausted, the gold prospectors will leave and look for the next location.

"First of all, gambling in Nevada is legal."

"Secondly, the War Department has built a lot of military bases there so that I can radiate my influence."

"In the end, I believe Las Vegas will become a paradise for the rich and a paradise for gamblers."

Luke said with a smile.

The casino plan he had considered before had already been completed and entered into business.

A mafia who traveled across the ocean from Sicily to the North American continent.

Under Luke's instruction, they neither competed with their compatriots for territory business, nor did they conflict with the Irish.

The newcomer Xhosa-Alessandro, after taking his brothers to a firm foothold in New York, only managed a few blocks of underground casino business.

In Luke's words, it means "practice first."

It is not easy to run a casino. From security to customer source, to chip exchange, capital flow, etc., you need to accumulate experience.

Most of the gangsters have no skill.

Apart from using violence, not many people know how to use their brains.

Therefore, they are keen on high-risk businesses such as smuggling and drug trafficking.

There are thresholds for serious industries.

Once Wall Street stockbrokers, their favorite clients were gangsters.

Because they give money quickly and never ask about the economic situation of the account.

This is like the entertainment circle of the later generations, the most popular investor is the coal boss.

There is a high degree of similarity between the two in essence.

Later, an astonishing case occurred. There was a brave liar who pretended to be Morgan Stanley's gold broker and played around with the heads of the five major Italian families. Even the accountant specially hired by the Mafia did not notice anything wrong.

In just half a month, the liar got nearly 1.5 million U.S. dollars and then slipped away.

Of course, the leaders of the five major families later issued "wanted warrants," and they were arrested four months later with a higher efficiency and faster speed than the federal police.

As for the end?

The liar was not mutilated or sunk.

Instead, he was put in a local prison in accordance with legal procedures.

Two weeks later, he died of anal fissure.

It is said that he has changed four "roommates".

From white to black, from macho to pervert.

Every roommate has a special hobby of being strong and locking men and adding men to men.

The liar is like a tunnel through a volcano, being passed in and out every day.

Finally, overwhelmed, died of anal fissure.

This incident also reflects from the side that gangs are very good at fighting fiercely.

But when it comes to economic acumen, dealing with wealth is not true.

Luke does not want the Alessandro gang to become "thugs" who depend on him and only do illegal businesses.

The more stable the social environment, the less room for the gang to survive.

Sooner or later, I have to wash myself ashore, why not refuse to go to the sea from the beginning to reduce the stain on my body.

Just as the phrase "the way to get rich is written in the criminal law", businesses that have huge profits are basically illegal or in a gray area.

In a liberal and democratic beacon, the only thing worth investing in is probably gambling.

From the past to the present, the skin and meat business and the gambling business are two.

It has never been outdated, and has always been a "hard demand" of mankind.

"The rich man's paradise... I do have many friends who are attracted to Las Vegas."

Howard thoughtfully, at this time the "gaming city" has not spread to the world.

Its name is only circulated among a small group of wealthy people. Those bastards who have money and nowhere to spend, like to bring their lovers to Las Vilas in groups.

The salon reception in New York, horse riding and golf, can no longer satisfy them.

Once the threshold of desire rises, it is difficult to lower it.

"It's just that you have something to do with the Mafia?"

Howard leaned on the seat of the plane asked.

He has heard the legend of Superman assisting the Allied forces in a raid on Sicily.

But dignified lieutenant generals, should not and could not take the initiative to mix with the Mafia.

"I was originally an Irish immigrant, and my uncle even gave the Irish gangster a house."

Luke shrugged, turned his head and asked, "Do you know how influential the International Truckers Union is? Their chairman Jimmy Hoffa has more than two million registered members and eight billion pensions. ."

"How many votes are these? What a shining golden investor? Howard, don't underestimate the gangs. Their era has not passed, unless the Cold War ends and peace comes."

Even Kennedy, who will become president in the future, his family has a delicate relationship with the Irish gang.

Many people say that Italians do business in black and white, while Irish people fight and engage in politics.

It means that the Mafia goes to sea first, then ashore.From the gang boss to a business tycoon.

The Irish people specialize in solidarity with trade unions, making political donations and political investments.

Their most successful thing is probably to send JFK to the White House.

It's just that the result is not good, and the Kennedy brothers are not as behaving as their father.

Pay attention to a fair deal and exchange of interests.

After they came to power, they turned around before they sat down to rectify the problem of collusion between the union and the gang.

"That's right, Jimmy Hoffa has always been a man of the world."

Howard looked at the gathering and scattered clouds, ended the topic of the gang, and brought up another matter.

"Rogers really intends to get married?"

Luke nodded, his unintentional words seemed to be heard by Captain America.

On the surface, it seemed like a reliable plan to wake up a good old brother with a wedding.

"Las Vegas, is where Steve spends his single night."

Talking about this, Luke was excited.

...

...

On the other side, Las Vegas.

The old man wearing a half-top hat and leaning on a silver cane appeared in the deserted desert.

Maybe the sun was venomous and the temperature was too high, and his figure was distorted.

"I smell... an alluring smell."

The old man twitched his nose and grinned at the corner of his mouth.

Just like hungry diners, seeing the table full of feasts.

"When I came last time, there was nothing in this place."

The old man murmured and took a step.

The space is automatically shortened and disappears quickly in the desert.

"Insatiable greed, hard-to-fill lust...It's more like hell than hell."
