Chapter 107 Keeping an Appointment
Then Hank invited Kailus aside and explained the reason to him.

The man was Hank's only son, but he was rebellious in his early years and left home to go to the southern states. When they met again, the man had a daughter, Hank's granddaughter. The granddaughter was clever and liked to draw, and the wind chime at the door was her graffiti.

However, God never favors the poor.

Some time ago, when the Chitauri army invaded, the house where the daughter lived collapsed. When the man who was drinking outside returned home, his daughter had been buried under the rubble for several hours.

Fortunately, her life was saved, but the girl's legs had to be amputated because the heavy object had compressed the blood and nerves for a long time, causing the tissue to almost die.

In the current environment of tight medical resources, the price of an amputation operation is not something an ordinary family can afford.

Hearing this, Kailus gradually fell silent. Being forced to face the girl with disabled legs reminded him of his original situation.

I have an unreliable family background and a bad health. If it weren’t for my good luck, someone else might be standing here today.

Hearing these words, Kailus felt that something soft in his heart was touched. He knew that it was difficult for the girl to have such good luck as himself.

However, an idea suddenly came to Kailus that saving the girl with disabled legs might be saving another younger self in disguise.

thump.

Suddenly, the man knelt down, handed the gun to Kailus' feet, and slapped himself tremblingly.

The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he spoke incoherently:

"Oh! Jesus! Damn it! I was so blind that I offended you! I'm so sorry! I really am..."

After guessing Kailus's identity, he burst into tears to Kailus. I don't know whether he realized that he was wrong, or felt that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and he was about to die.

However, from beginning to end, Kaylus, including old man Hank himself, watched all this indifferently, without any mercy.

He missed the best chance to save his daughter because of alcoholism. Such a scum deserves his punishment. How could Kaylus be merciful just because of a few pitiful slaps?

However, the girl was not only the man's daughter, but also the granddaughter of Grandpa Hank. She was innocent, so for his sake, Kailus had to help.

"Grandpa, how much is left for the surgery?" Kaelus turned around and asked suddenly.

Hank suddenly turned his eyes, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, after confirming the look in Kailus' eyes.

Then, the surprise in his eyes turned into tears of emotion.

……

At the entrance of the convenience store, Kailus pushed the door open and saw a black SUV parked at the door. Nick leaned against the open door and looked down at his phone.

Hearing the sound of wind chimes, Nick looked up and saw Kailus walking towards him silently, stepping into the car, and then he let out a long sigh as if relieved.

Kailus claims not to be a saint.

However, having regained his life after escaping paralysis in his legs, he can understand the pain of living in a wheelchair for a long time.

In a sense, it is also a way of thanking the old man.

Nick put away his phone, turned around and got into the driver's seat. Since everyone was already there, there was no need to delay any further.

thump.

The car door slammed shut, Nick inserted the key into the lock, and the car quickly lit up with a bright blue light.

Nick didn't ask what Kailus did, after all, it was his freedom.

It was Kailus who spoke first: "Is this car reliable? If we drive over there, how long will it take to reach where Tony is?"

Nick opened the car map and then pondered for a while.

"Not sure. It depends on whether the roads along the way are repaired or not, the configuration of the car, and my driving skills."

Kailus nodded slightly.

In the end, he promised to help the old man raise money and get $500,000 within half a month.

Although this amount of money could be raised by asking other people, after all, this was a charity he advocated, and he did not want to rely on others unless it was absolutely necessary. Of course, there was another reason. Kailus was confident that with his current ability, it would be easy for him to earn $500,000.

After the episode ended, the atmosphere in the car gradually became quiet, with only the car TV that Nick had turned on, and the host mechanically reporting the latest situation.

"Oh... by the way, Kailus, I just called Tony to confirm. He has already contacted his local friends in Las Vegas. Under his guidance, the city of Las Vegas allowed us to send people in to search for clues about Hydra and the Red Skull."

Nick then showed the mobile phone in his hand and observed Kailus' reaction through the rearview mirror.

Sure enough, Tony still had to take action at the critical moment. Perhaps for those wealthy capital tycoons, they could ignore the face of SHIELD and the federal government, but they had to give enough face to Stark Industries, which is also a businessman and partner.

"This is a good thing, isn't it? We can finally eradicate the roots of Hydra... that ghostly creature that lingers around should have disappeared completely long ago."

Kailus looked out the window with a very calm attitude, his mind still thinking about other things, and agreed casually.

However, Nick was not so optimistic.

With a push on the accelerator, the car started quickly!
The scenes outside the windows on both sides began to recede rapidly.

"I wish it were that easy."

Inside the car, Nick sneered.

Obviously, in the eyes of capitalists, risks will always be minimized.

A few days ago, let alone SHIELD wanting to enter, even if the military personally sent the National Guard, they couldn't see the gate of Las Vegas. Even the nearby airport was restricted and strictly controlled.

It doesn't look like a place under federal jurisdiction, and it seems to be a lawless place. However, with the capabilities of the Wayne Group and the Wayne Family, they can indeed do so.

If we let them in now, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that they cannot withstand the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, but this is obviously impossible. The media, as the mouthpiece of public opinion, can be easily controlled even by the government, not to mention the chaebol families who silently become the manipulators behind the government.

The other is a worse guess.

All the evidence that might have raised doubts was gone, and all the potential suspects were dealt with in secret.

In other words, there is now a 200 percent chance that there is no evidence in Las Vegas that any Hydra agent has ever been there.

"Well, think about it in a positive way." Kailus put his hand behind his neck, leaned back and relaxed. "Since I am qualified to go in, it is better than just watching from the outside and not knowing anything, right?"

Wow!
The accelerating car came to the intersection ahead, and suddenly, another car appeared from the side, like a ghost appearing. Nick was so scared that he stepped on the brakes on the spot, and barely avoided a collision.

"Huh... No, he did allow us in, but... technically, not completely."

After letting out a long breath, Nick said unhappily.
