"Follow!"
"So this is Kinh's revenge?"
As he walked along the road, listening to the conversation coming from the car he was following, Xu Fu thought of a few things.
"Things happened faster than expected; it seems the previously reported news really angered them."
Kim Jong-il would clearly not remain indifferent to Clark, a journalist who dared to expose his identity.
Calmness was merely a facade. As a leader of the underworld, Kim was always known for his tolerance, as Xu Fu clearly saw from the images displayed by [Time Fragment].
After dealing with the impact of the scandal on his mayoral position.
Kingpin begins filming Xu Fu, a reporter who has been causing him trouble, in the dark.
This time, former journalist and supervisor Ben Jurich repeatedly reminded Xu Fu to carry a gun and to immediately call him and the police in case of any suspicious activity. Despite a wave of news revelations, the NYPD is facing a decline in its reputation.
However, the deterrent effect still exists to some extent.
Especially given Xu Fu's current status, if something goes wrong, reporters from all over New York City will flock to the scene.
Because this is no longer just his problem, but a safety issue for all journalists and media outlets.
Chapter 599 Nightmare
"Isn't Kim also afraid of arousing suspicion?"
In the corridor of the newspaper's editorial office.
Faced with the danger Matt mentioned, Xu Fu took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Please remember that it hasn't been long since I reported on the mayor's scandal."
“Mayor Wilson might have hesitated, but King did not.”
“If Jin Hua considers anything a threat, he will not hesitate to attack and destroy it by any means necessary.”
Anyone who knows you better than your friends is your enemy.
Matt is undoubtedly the best illustration of this claim, as his years of confrontation in Hell's Kitchen have given him an intimate understanding of Gene's methods.
It was for this reason that when he learned of Xu Fu's report on the scandal involving the mayor, he began to investigate, implying the possibility that Kim Jong-il might target the reporter, and warned him.
"If what you're saying is true, Attorney Matt, then all of this is true."
For Xu Fu, the fact that Kim Jong-il wanted to take action against him was not surprising news.
In fact, he had almost thought of this when the [time fragment] came to light.
Despite Matt's reminder, reporter Clark Kent still had to maintain the skepticism expected of a journalist.
"So, how did you know all this?"
Matt paused for a moment before saying, "My law firm has handled cases involving Jin Jin, but due to Jin Jin's immense power and money, these cases all ended in failure, and no one even reported them. But it was through these unknown cases that I learned about Jin Jin's identity."
I must say, Matt's reasoning is very convincing.
If Xu Fu didn't know the truth, he could indeed have been deceived in his reasoning.
"In any case, thank you very much for the information you provided to Matt's lawyer."
Feeling that his time was up, Xu Fu said something to the blind lawyer in the corridor and thanked him. "I will keep a close eye on what happens next, and I will call the police for help immediately if any problems arise."
Sensing that Xu Fu didn't entirely believe him, Matt realized that in such matters, it was impossible to be completely convincing. So he took out his law firm's business card from his pocket and showed it to Xu Fu. "This is my law firm's phone number, and also my personal number. If you have any questions, you can contact me, Mr. Kent."
"If a problem really arises."
Reaching out, Xu Fu took the card Matt handed him and casually put it into his pocket.
Standing in the corridor of the newspaper's newsroom, listening to Xu Fu's retreating footsteps, Matt unconsciously tightened his grip on his guide cane.
Several decisions were made.
...
On the other hand, he returned to the newspaper's editorial department.
[Contact with the distorted time node and collect a small number of time fragments x2].
Xu Fu glanced at the text and his lips twisted slightly.
He's almost there, and he'll be able to collect enough [Time Fragments] to upgrade the [Copper Seal].
After thinking it over, Xu Fu began to wait for Jin's reaction and the situation on this side.
Let's hope that Kim's retaliation isn't too disappointing, or at least not just a way to get rid of these two guys, because it is.
And so, with Xu Fu's secret anticipation, the newspaper's workday came to an end.
In the office, pretend you're working on a long-awaited press release.
Click!
Suddenly, Xu Fu, with his [super hearing], received a faint, barely perceptible sound of something landing.
Looking in the direction the sound came from, using the abilities [Super X-ray Vision] and [Super Sight], one could clearly see a figure dressed in a red demon suit lurking in the shadows on the roof of the newspaper office.
Clearly, Matt knew that Xu Fu would encounter Gene and seek revenge, so he not only warned him but also secretly transformed himself into "Nightmare" to protect him.
However, regarding the true situation...
With Xu Fu's current abilities, he doesn't need Matt or Nightmare's protection.
However, Xu Fu remained quite friendly towards this uninvited, potential [time fragment] proposal.
At the newspaper office, he gazed into the distance, pretending not to know of the Night Demon's existence.
Meanwhile, the person beneath the Night Demon's demonic hood in the shadows on the rooftop frowned slightly and turned his head to look around. Just now, his extrasensory perception had triggered a feeling of being followed, but after looking around, this intrusive sensation suddenly disappeared.
Although this feeling of intrusion only lasted for a moment.
But several alarms flashed through Matt's mind. He gripped the special guide stick in his hand and took a breath as he silently sensed the Kent reporter on the front page using his super senses.
And so, using [Super Hearing], he selected the Nightmare's location.
While using his superhuman senses to get to the bottom of the reporter's situation.
Both of them were silently observing each other, but deliberately hiding it, as if holding their breath.
Inside the newspaper office, Xu Fu stretched and made a tired expression.
After tidying up his things, he stood up and left the editorial office of the first newspaper.
Just as he was making his move, he heard the rustling of the Night Demon coming from [Overheard]. Xu Fu could even see clearly through the walls and floor. He used the rope inside the guide rod to stop the Night Demon's movements, fell down from the newspaper building, carefully walked to his car, unlocked it, and climbed inside.
So Matt plans to stay hidden in the car like this, watching himself?
Watching Nightmare pry open the lock and get into the car, Xu Fu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow behind his glasses.
His opponent's nimble movements almost made him forget his superhero identity.
At the same time, this is also a limitation of a street hero.
0.9 Superheroes like Knight Crawler, because they don't have their own superpowers, can't do what Spider-Man or Crow's Mouth do, and can't move as fast as Spider-Man.
Therefore, their normal operations and crackdowns on criminals are often limited to a certain area or neighborhood.
For example, "Nightmare's" main area of activity is Hell's Kitchen, where his law firm is located.
If you want to move to another area, the only other means of transportation is on foot.
More than what Xu Fu saw in front of him, he wanted to secretly deploy his protective measures to ensure Xu Fu wouldn't encounter danger in the upcoming operation. Wearing his red combat suit, he obviously couldn't drive, especially since Matt himself wasn't in good condition and unable to drive.
Therefore, sneaking into Xu Fu's car was his only option.
Chapter 600 Attack Appears
Through [Super Perspective].
Xu Fu clearly saw Matt, or rather, Nightmare, huddled beside the car, hiding inside.
He could understand that the other party was preparing for their own safety.
But when she finally lay down in front of him, she was a little out of breath, as if she had revealed the secret of the magic beforehand, watching the unsuspecting superhero prepare for his appearance.
He opened the door, seemingly oblivious to the strange look in his eyes.
He tried his best not to look at the scene in the back seat, started the car, and drove out of the newspaper office.
"...That afternoon, outside the German military base in Drenburg, a protest group comprised of several American civilian groups protested against the biological experiments being conducted by the German army in America."
"This land is not a German military base!"
"Shut down the biological labs!"
The protests lasted for a considerable period, during which 13 American students and several members of a radical resistance group stormed the residence of the German ambassador to the United States to protest the deployment of German troops in the country.
Why the United States?
"Why don't you conduct such dangerous (biological) experiments in Germany, but instead come to the United States?"
"In the afternoon, resistance groups gathered outside the German base in Drumburg, holding up signs and shouting protests."
To avoid the "nightmare" lurking inside noticing anything unusual, Xu Fu turned on the radio when he got on the bus.
