......
The next day, dark clouds gathered and a light rain covered the entire New York.
In the high-end cemetery of the Bronx, old Carlson, leaning on his cane, gazed at his son's gravestone. The melancholy of a white-haired person bidding farewell to a black-haired one surged up, and even the fierce expression on his face could not prevent a few tears from escaping.
"Come on, there are more important things to do today."
Old Carlson wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and, accompanied by his younger brothers, turned to leave the cemetery.
Not far from them, in front of a tombstone, George was also casting a spell.
"Monster emerges from the cave!"
As the incantation took shape, a gray black mamba snake appeared in front of him and quickly darted into the grass, heading towards the location where old Carlson was.
About a minute later, George heard the terrible scream of old Carlson and the panicked shouts of his little brothers.
The nearest hospital is thirty minutes away, and with old Carlson's health, he wouldn't last more than fifteen minutes after being bitten by a black mamba snake.
With old Carlson's death, the Carlson family would certainly fall into chaos. In order to secure the top position, the high-ranking officials would naturally take action, and at that time, he could muddle through the turbid waters and eliminate most of the high-ranking officials.
Even if a sniper rifle is used, others wouldn't suspect anything more; they would simply assume that it was just the high-ranking officials taking out each other.
Three days later, at night, on the rooftop.
"Over the past few days, the Carlson family has been in fierce internal conflict, severely weakening their strength. I plan to take action tomorrow and swallow up all of their territories."
Leon said to George, speaking with respect.
For George, who in just a few days managed to dismantle half of the Carlson family, one of the thirteen families, his inner shock was also considerable.
To say the gunshots and subsequent deaths in the background were no concern, but the unexpected death of the Carlson father and son truly scared him.
Because even though he knew it was George who did it, there were no signs of human intervention at all. Everyone believed that the Carlson father and son were just extremely unlucky; one had accidentally fallen to his death, and the other had been bitten by a snake and poisoned to death.
Sometimes he wonders if he would also meet the same fate as the Carlson father and son, accidentally dying without realizing it if George wanted to kill him.
This was terrifying, like the devil was taking your soul away, no matter how you resisted, it was inevitable.
So, in his heart, he held a deeper respect for George.
"When the time comes, where should I transfer the money to for you?"
"Don't transfer it to me. Just keep it in your account, and I'll take it when I need it."
George nodded and replied.
He didn't have an account to transfer money into. If he transferred it into the accounts of Wolverine and Gavrila, it would be easy to expose his identity.
Why not just keep it with Leon? For regular expenses, he can withdraw some cash as needed, and for larger sums, Leon can handle the payments directly.
With all these incidents, Leon should be too scared to mess around with his money.
"Oh, after absorbing the Carlson territory, try to convert as much liquid capital as possible. If necessary, pledge everything that can be mortgaged to the bank for a loan, and wait for my call."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing George's words, Leon was also taken aback, seemingly not understanding what was going on.
George didn't explain too much but simply said:
"If you trust me, do as I say, and you can make a lot of money. If you don't believe me, I'm not forcing you. Just make sure to buy all the shares of Stark Industries with my share."
He didn't need to tell Leon about saving Tony Stark's things, as it wasn't necessary and might even cause trouble if he mentioned it too much.
Once he made money, Leon would naturally grow more trustful of him.
"Believe, I absolutely believe in you!"
Leon immediately replied with a thumping chest.
It wasn't because he was afraid of George's words and was saying them out of fear, but because he genuinely believed in the various miraculous abilities George had shown.
He thought that maybe George had the ability to predict the future, knowing that the stock of Stark Industries might soar, which is why he told him to buy it immediately.
If that were true, then he would indeed make a fortune, even more than what he gained by absorbing the Carlson family.
Don't look at them as one of the thirteen families in the Bronx; even though they are prosperous here, in reality, compared to Stark Industries, a world-class behemoth, they are like ants compared to elephants.
After all, the Bronx is just one of the poorest and most chaotic districts in New York, while Stark Industries is one of the wealthiest corporations on Earth.
One day later, Leon's newly emerging family in the Bronx launched a full-scale attack, sweeping away the weakened Carlson family weakened by internal conflicts. They swallowed up 80% of the Carlson territory, leaving only 20% to the last surviving high-ranking official in the Carlson family.
Two days later, Leon furiously raised funds, even mortgaging his stretched Lincoln car to the bank, demonstrating full determination and trust in George.
Three days later, the school playground of the mutant academy opened slowly, and an invisible fighter jet took off slowly, heading to Baghlan Province in Afghanistan.
The X-fighter did not have Wolverine on board; it only had George and the pilot, Isha.
originally, George had planned to let the Leons send himself to Afghanistan, but when he went back to school and discussed with X Professor and the others, Isha said she could fly the X-fighter very smoothly.
It was X Professor, when he was not having fits, who provided some professional guidance to Isha.
Since Isha could pilot the X-fighter to take him to Afghanistan, that would be the best course. The fighter jet could fly directly into the desert, saving time and avoiding the risk of exposure by changing vehicles.
As for why Wolverine wasn't brought along to help?
Mainly because he has enough strength to deal with those terrorist groups of the Ten Rings, and besides, Wolverine is a well-known figure himself; Tony should recognize him.
Even if he couldn't recognize them, once they returned, JARVIS would certainly find out.
He didn't want Tony to know his identity yet. With each additional person knowing about his identity, there was an increased risk of exposure, even if the other party was Ironman, he needed to be cautious.
Wait for another two years. By then, his abilities will be stronger, Professor X and Wolverine will have regained their strength, and the younger mutants will have mastered their powers for battle. Then he won't have to be as cautious as he is now.
The X-plane traveled quickly, reaching the desert outside of Baghlan Province in Afghanistan in just a few hours.
"Direction appears!"
As George's incantation echoed, an arrow made of golden powder appeared before him.
Moreover, as Isha navigated the fighter jet, the direction of the arrow would also change accordingly.
However, this arrow could only indicate the direction of east, west, south, and north in a plane, unable to discern up and down. It was convenient for finding people in the desert but less so in the city.
Because in the city, there are skyscrapers, and if the person you're looking for is on the eighteenth floor while you're on the first floor, no matter how the arrow points, you won't be able to find them.
This tracking spell is not suitable for complex terrain, and for complex terrain, it's better to use one that can show movement tracks. However, he hasn't learned that yet.
