45 Chapter 45: Roadside Intimidation

Please, bosses, read this.

...

"I didn't expect there to be someone with a higher profile than me in New York City.

At that moment, Tony, who had just finished debugging Jarvis and testing its functions, saw the scene where Killian was in the spotlight after asking Jarvis to switch to the news channel.

"Sir, according to information research, you have been keeping a low profile for some time."

"Did I receive an email about army weapons development, do you need to check it?"

After hearing Tony's words, Jarvis responded with a mechanical electronic voice.

"Check it, let that guy be the center of attention, after all, I am a discreet person."

After hearing about an army order, Tony thought for a moment and clicked to check it, feeling he'd rather develop weapons than be the center of attention.

And if Killian saw this scene here right now, he would probably be even more surprised.

Due to the appearance of Baymax, the birth and intelligence of Jarvis improved even more obviously and earlier than in the original plot.

However, Tony doesn't speak as loudly as Killian about his pseudo-artificial intelligence of Jarvis.

Artificial intelligence develops better in secrecy.

Although he is arrogant, he can still understand key things.

...

But Tony's reaction is different from other forces.

As the instigator, Killian is already walking the streets of Washington at this moment.

He used to be scared, but now it's different, with the protection of two A bodyguards, he's not so worried anymore.

As he walked this path, Killian also saw the prosperity of the metropolis.

Although the technological equipment couldn't keep up, the animated scenes and entertainment measures remained active in the streets and alleys.

Occasionally, there are street singers singing in the square, and various professional managers constantly pass their business cards on the street with a flattering look, hoping to increase their turnover.

Even while passing through a remote alley, there were several blonde beauties who wanted to run and kidnap Killian.

But before they could get close, they were stopped by two big walls.

Killian naturally looked down on these vulgar fans.

He gestured with his hand and continued walking with some bodyguards.

"Damn cripple, are you going to beg for food this month and only want this little?"

"Damn, I can earn more than this by renting your land, do you really think I'm doing charity?

"Hit me!!"

And just as Killian continued strolling, in an alley not far away, after a voice was heard, countless children begged for mercy.

"Please, brother Hanni, stop beating brother Sven, next month, next month we will definitely give you more money!

"Please, boss."

...

Voices begging for mercy continued to come, and Killian, who originally didn't want to worry about that nonsense, couldn't help but stop and walk inside, and took a peek around the corner.

Hmm, it's a skinny man with a disabled child and several more children, big men beat and kicked them.

"No. 1, No. 2, destroy them for me!

Killian's temper flared, and then he told some bodyguards on the side.

As Killian's words fell, several gangsters a few meters away even prepared to keep fighting, when their vision darkened, and several of them had their spines directly broken and fainted from a single blow.

"This is your money, you can take it, it seems they are local snakes.

Although today I have people who beat them up, I'm sure they will still cause you trouble, use this money to start a new life in the city."

After asking people to collect all the money from the fallen, Killian also took the thousand U.S. dollars in cash he was carrying and handed it to the man lying on the ground surrounded by a group of children and said.

"Here.."

After hearing Killian's words, the man wanted to refuse, but after looking at his younger brothers and sisters, as well as the gang leader not far away, he knew that only a small part of the gang had come to settle accounts today.

But if the gang boss knew that his men fell into his trap, he wouldn't need to tell him, but his brothers would definitely not have it easy.

But... the world is so big, even if they take this money, where can they go?

Except for him, the other brothers and sisters still here are too young, and he is disabled and the breadwinner of the family.

If they don't live in a big city like this, they might not survive in a small place, so starving is their only fate.

"Sir, although I know this is too much to ask."

"But I beg you, can you give me a chance? I can do anything for you, as long as you can take in my brothers and sisters."

"I'm a veteran, though I have a broken leg, believe me, as long as you do, my loyalty will be unwavering."

After hesitating for a moment, the man who was finally lying on the ground clenched his teeth, bowed deeply before the man in front of him, and spoke.

He knew this was one of the few opportunities he had.

During this Spring Festival, some of his younger brothers and sisters got colds and fell ill due to poor living conditions, so he had exhausted all his options.

Even if he didn't hand over the money this time, it was because he used it to buy medicine for his younger brothers and sisters.

If it happened again, he might not even survive this cold winter.

For outsiders, it symbolizes a season of peace, beauty, and family reunion.

For those who make a living wandering and begging, trying to survive is a hysterical and desperate situation.

"..."

But at that moment, he looked at the ground in front of him that was already covered in blood in just a few seconds and in the blink of an eye, and the children screamed and tried to hold the man to prevent him from continuing.

Killian finally gave in.

"Did you say you'd do anything for me?"

After narrowing his eyes, Killian squatted down, prevented him from continuing to bow, and instead asked very seriously.

"Yes! Anything!! As long as you can allow my brothers and sisters to have a place to live and live healthily, I swear I will never disobey any of your orders, even if that means facing God or Satan directly!

At the end of the sentence, the man looked at Killian in front of him with extremely firm eyes and said.

For a moment, Killian seemed to see the eyes of those Black Watch soldiers looking at him when they were just born.
