The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 3447: Son of Midnight (Forty-Six)

The nights in the Bronx are not as noisy as those in Manhattan. Most of the streets are relatively quiet, and pedestrians are in a hurry, as if as long as they walk fast enough, they can escape the potential dangers in the dark.

This made the group of people seem particularly unscrupulous. When the motorcycle engines roared, it was like thunder exploding in the sky, and when they whistled through the streets, they cut a hole in the bitter autumn wind.

The leading man was wearing a heavy black jacket, and when he turned his head, a fire flashed in his eyes. He parked his motorcycle against the lamp post and leaned on the seat of the motorcycle to light a cigarette.

The second person to arrive was a white-haired woman. Her entire body was as white as ice crystals, even her pupils and lips were no exception. When you were within a few meters of her, you felt as cold as if you were in an ice cave.

Next came a very strong man, his arms were much thicker than a normal man's, and his hands were covered with crocodile-like scales. The young man behind him was like he was standing on stilts, his legs were ridiculously long, and when he stood up straight, he was almost three meters tall.

"It's been a while since we've gotten together like this." The tall man said, "Johnny, what the hell have you been busy with lately?"

At some point, Johnny had turned into the Ghost Rider, but the skull's mouth could still open and close with a cigarette in it.

He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Of course I'm busy with work. I recently found a part-time job at the zoo, mainly delivering animal feed and so on."

"That suits you very well. At least you won't see sinful souls in animals." The white-haired woman said with a smile.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business," Johnny said. "I'm going to go say hello to the Nail Boss. You guys wait here."

"Let's go together." said the man with strong arms, "We haven't seen him for a long time. Let's go over and have a drink tonight."

Johnny didn't refuse, but just said, "We're here for business today, don't get drunk again."

Several people walked towards the bar across the street. The bar was brightly lit and the music was loud, but these people with obviously abnormal appearances did not attract much attention when they walked in.

Because there are very few normal people in this bar, even those who look normal are similar to Johnny, and you never know when they will transform.

The lower classes have their own wisdom for survival. Mutants are often persecuted, but that doesn't mean they won't stick together for warmth. In places like the Bronx, where there are all kinds of people, there are many gathering places for mutants.

This place doesn't just accept mutants, but also occasionally comes people like Johnny who have acquired mutations. After all, we are all monsters, so there is no need to sort them out.

Johnny squeezed his way through the dance floor and came to the back door. The man guarding the door had only one eye in the middle of his face. When he saw Johnny, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You came at the right time."

Johnny frowned slightly, he heard something else in the words of the doorman. He nodded, took out a roll of dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand. The other person threw away the cigarette in his hand and made way.

Johnny lowered his head and walked through the narrow corridor to the room behind the bar. As he entered, he smelled a faint smell of blood and a familiar voice came from the room.

The people who followed him didn't make it in. Johnny looked back, and the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He walked over and knocked on the door covered with graffiti and posters. When the door opened, Johnny saw the strong figure sitting in the middle. He was a skinny, dark-skinned Mexican with a circle of nails on his head.

That is not just a decoration on the surface of the skin, but a real nail in his head. This is his mutant ability. The nail boss can produce nails in his body, and he can also launch thousands of nails at high speed at a time. It can be said that he is a human fragmentation mine.

However, the pain caused by the nails coming out of his body makes him particularly irritable. But overall, he is still a gangster boss who is easy to deal with.

In addition to him, Johnny also saw a figure pinned to the ground. This was the source of the familiar voice, it was his stupid brother Danny.

One of his hands was pierced by a long nail and he bled a lot, but judging from his complexion and expression, he was not seriously injured and could even grin at the Nail Boss.

"I didn't expect you to come here so soon." The nail boss rested his elbows on his knees and said, "If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you had a younger brother. Are you brothers?"

Johnny didn't answer him, but just looked at Danny and sighed deeply. He could probably guess how this guy was caught.

After the Midnight Sons meeting, they split up. Johnny originally planned to take Danny to find the motorcycle gang members, first discuss a specific search route, and then conduct an investigation.

As a result, Danny felt that Johnny had bad intentions and was stalling for time, so he insisted on investigating on his own. Danny had never been to the Bronx before, and it would be strange if he didn't get pinned to the ground when he barged into the Mexican territory.

Of course, he has the power of Ghost Rider, and ordinary gangsters are definitely not enough for him to fight. But the Bronx is full of hidden talents, and even if Johnny is Mephisto's agent, he dare not rush here.

The spirits of revenge in Johnny and Danny are different. The evil spirit in Johnny is a violent maniac who kills anyone he glares at. If he hadn't made a deal with Mephisto to control him, Johnny would have become a bully in New York and a major threat to the Avengers.

But the spirit of vengeance in Danny's body is an orthodox spirit of vengeance, and he is the ancestor of the Cage family and a righteous man recognized by the angels himself. He is wise and rational. He will not arrest or kill anyone, and he will adjust the method of judgment according to the current situation.

Now that Danny was pinned to the ground, the Spirit of Vengeance didn't make any movement, which proved that he also didn't approve of Danny's actions and had no intention of helping Danny defeat these gang members.

"I'm sorry I didn't keep an eye on him." Johnny decided to make the best of a bad situation. He thought he had some respect in this area. "If he broke anything, I can pay for it. Let me take him away. I owe you a favor."

The nail boss snorted coldly and said, "If it was anyone else, I wouldn't make it difficult for you, but he actually dared to molest Li Leibi. He didn't even take me seriously!"

"I didn't molest her!!!" Danny yelled, "I grabbed her arm because she had problems!!"

Before the Nail Boss could make any move, Johnny walked up to Danny and kicked him. Then he said to the Nail Boss, "My brother is a young man, but he is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding."

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Leibi and her girls were just strolling around the street, and this guy suddenly rushed out and started talking nonsense, and even held the two of them and wouldn't let them leave. How dare he bully me? If he hadn't said he had a brother named Johnny, I would have fucking killed him!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Either he leaves two fingers, or both of you put your hands together and make gestures with me here."

Johnny frowned deeply. He took a deep breath and said, "You may not believe it, but I didn't come here just to save him. I came to you for something important."

The nail boss stared at him for a while, slowly took down the cigarette and threw it aside, then said, "What's the matter?"

"Iron Man has set up an organization called Midnight's Sons to target the law and order situation in the Bronx. You'd better have your men restrain themselves recently. If you get beaten up by that rich guy, you won't be able to fight back."

The Nail Boss narrowed his eyes and said, "Iron Man? What the hell is he doing here?"

"I'm not sure, but I heard that someone wants to do something big in the Bronx that could endanger the entire New York. Not only the Midnight Sons, but also the Avengers, the New Warriors, and even the New York Temple have been keeping an eye on this place recently."

"You damn bastard!" Danny glared at him and yelled at Johnny, "You traitor who's in cahoots with the gang! You've really been bewitched by the devil Mephisto!"

Johnny pretended not to hear. Nail Boss tapped the armrest of the sofa. Johnny walked over to the sofa next to him and sat down. He first lit a cigarette with the flame from the skull, then extinguished the flame, revealed his true face and said:

"We are old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush. Someone is doing something in the Bronx. Do you know about this?"

"Of course I don't know." said the Nail Boss, "If I knew someone would lead those troublesome guys here, would I let them have it easy?!"

"I think so." Johnny nodded and said, "If you are sure it has nothing to do with you, then send someone to keep an eye on it. If you find anything unusual, contact me so that they can catch the person earlier, finish the job, and evacuate earlier."

The nail boss twisted the cigarette in his hand with his fingers, as if thinking. But Johnny looked at Danny and said, "You said there was something wrong with the boss's lover. What did you find?"

Danny stared at him without saying anything. Johnny was a little impatient and walked over to pull out the nail from his hand. Danny cried out in pain, shook his hand vigorously and said, "They are fans of Dario Agger, and they insist that the Roxxon Energy Industrial Building was blown up by Iron Man."

The attention of the nail boss was also drawn to him. He squinted at Danny and said, "Dario Agger? The boss of that damn energy company?"

"That's right! I heard them telling others that it was Iron Man who blew up Dario Agger's building because he was jealous!"

"What's going on?" The muscles around Johnny's eyes wrinkled, but the nail boss seemed to remember something.

He showed a thoughtful look, but it didn't last long. He waved his hand and said, "Since he is your brother, I won't bother with you this time. Don't let him show up in my territory again!"

Johnny stood up, picked up Danny, and pushed him out the door. After pushing him out, he turned to the nail boss and said, "You should know about the sky factory plan of Roxxon Company? How long will it take for the referendum to be held?"

This sounded a bit incoherent, but Johnny didn't say much, opened the door and walked out. After he left, the nail boss frowned and turned to the younger brother behind him and said, "Go and bring that woman here. I want to ask her what's going on."

Danny was pushed out of the bar by Johnny, but he was still not convinced. Johnny turned around and signaled with his eyes that the people following him should stay away. They also went back to the door of the bar tactfully, and Johnny grabbed Danny by the back of his neck and dragged him to the alley next to him.

The moment the flaming skull appeared, Johnny punched Danny in the face and knocked him to the ground with a "bang".

Danny got up from the ground and tried to fight back, but for some reason, the spirit of vengeance that he could easily summon was silent now. No matter how anxious he was, the flames just wouldn't start.

Johnny grabbed Danny's neck and lifted him up like a criminal. Danny felt fear at this moment, he kept kicking and struggling desperately, like a fish that had just been caught on the shore.

A second before Danny fainted from suffocation, Johnny let go, lit a new cigarette, looked down at Danny who was lying on the ground and said, "Do you think you are very smart?"
