Chapter 42

……

The banquet hall.

The guests attending the cocktail party, seeing Kingpin’s actions, all began to whisper.

"This... what is going on?"

"Big Boss Kingpin actually made a move against Obadiah?"

"I saw them walking together and thought they were on the same side!"

"My god!"

"Is Big Boss Kingpin not afraid of the U.S. government? After all, Stark Industries has very close ties with the government..." "Who knows? You and I had better not speculate about the world of the big bosses."

"Maybe Kingpin just simply doesn't like Obadiah?"

"Alright."

……

There was no helping it.

What just happened was truly too shocking.

Both big bosses held pivotal positions in the United States.

It was hard to compare who was stronger, but they were undoubtedly big bosses.

Even if there were private conflicts, it wouldn't have surprised these people so much.

But now, to make a move directly at a public cocktail party.

And even threaten to break legs?

Many people could not understand Kingpin’s actions.

Only Kingpin himself knew.

What kind of existence the young man before him was.

Coupled with the matter of Elektra and her father, he had to make his stance clear.

He was firmly opposed to Karl’s enemies.

After all, this could save his own life.

Moreover, he might even be able to latch onto the other party’s thigh.

If there really was a chance to find such a powerful backer.

Then Kingpin felt that, let alone ten billion dollars.

One hundred billion, or one trillion dollars would be worth it.

Well, although he didn't have that much money.

Kingpin bowed slightly toward Karl and asked with a hint of respect: "Mr. Karl. Are you satisfied with this result?"

Karl looked at Kingpin and smiled indifferently.

"It's alright."

"Go attend to your own business, no need to stay here with me."

This Kingpin, he could certainly handle himself.

Although Karl could have dealt with Obadiah even without the other party intervening.

And Obadiah and his son might not have ended up with just broken legs.

But regardless, Kingpin’s actions were still quite commendable.

"Yes."

Kingpin nodded slightly and then left Karl’s vicinity.

Not far away.

Elektra and Isabella had already arrived nearby.

However.

Both of them vaguely knew what kind of existence Kingpin was.

Kingpin, this big boss, just his name alone.

carried a very powerful sense of oppression. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====

So the two of them just stood to the side without speaking.

However.

They had been nearby just now.

And were very surprised by Kingpin’s actions.

Especially Isabella.

In their Hollywood circles, they also knew of this big boss, Kingpin.

There was once a very famous actor who had even won the Best Actor award several times.

He got drunk at a cocktail party and insulted Kingpin.

The next day, this person simply disappeared.

Many days later.

Someone found the actor’s corpse in the ocean.

Rumors had it that this person had provoked an existence they shouldn't have.

This made many Hollywood stars realize what a terrifying existence Kingpin was.

But... Kingpin’s attitude toward Karl just now?

Although she also knew that Karl was a Stark Industries shareholder.

But... Obadiah was also a Stark Industries shareholder.

Looking at Obadiah, he should be a bit more powerful than Karl?

After all, his age was a factor.

But the difference in Kingpin’s attitude toward the two was huge.

This made Isabella very surprised, and at the same time, she felt Karl was even more mysterious.

Actually.

It wasn't just Isabella and Elektra who were shocked.

The entire cocktail party, everyone who knew Kingpin.

All wore expressions of disbelief.

"I, I didn't see that wrong, did I?"

"Big Boss Kingpin bowed to that young man?"

"I have never seen Big Boss Kingpin bow to anyone."

"I haven't even heard of any similar legends!"

"Who is this young man? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"He's too young, probably the son of some big shot?"

"So, Kingpin and Obadiah clashed because of this young man."

"Terrifying!"

……

Originally.

They were only surprised to see Kingpin and Obadiah clash.

After all, both were big bosses.

If they really clashed, the consequences would likely be significant.

No one expected that Kingpin would actually bow to Karl!

Karl was simply too young.

At the same time, they also suddenly realized.

So, Kingpin and Obadiah clashed because of this young man, Karl.

Everyone speculated about Karl’s identity.

Some said he was the son of a high-ranking government official, others said he was the heir to a great family.

Opinions varied.

…… ===== CHAPTER 149 =====

To the side, Elektra couldn't help but ask: "You know Kingpin?"

Isabella also looked at Karl with great curiosity.

Karl nodded, "I suppose I know him; this is the second time I've seen him."

"Then why would he treat you like that?"

"Who knows."

Karl chuckled, "Maybe because he is a righteous person and can't stand to see the weak being bullied?" Elektra couldn't help but roll her eyes at him upon hearing this.

Karl, weak?

Elektra knew that Karl had acquired all sorts of miraculous abilities.

It was impossible for him to fear Obadiah.

Since Karl didn't want to say, Elektra didn't press him.

Instead, she asked curiously: "What happened just now?"

"Well, just now..."

Karl recounted what had happened.

"So that’s how it was. That person is truly despicable!"

Elektra agreed: "Karl, you did the right thing!"

Isabella smiled and thanked Karl.

After chatting for a while, Isabella took her leave tactfully.

Before leaving.

Isabella sent a few text messages to Karl on her phone.

Well, the content was rather suggestive. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====

Seeing the messages Isabella sent him, Karl smiled softly.

It seems.

I should go find Isabella in the next few days?

After Isabella left, a while later.

Elektra’s father, Nicholas, found the two of them.

He looked at them with a strange expression: "I have some matters to attend to, so I'm heading back. What about you two? Are you coming back together?"

"Of course."

The two did not choose to stay, but left with Nicholas instead.

Thus, the three of them set off together.

On the way.

Nicholas couldn't help but ask: "Karl..."

Karl looked at him, "Hmm?"

"Do you... know Kingpin?"

In reality.

Nicholas wanted to ask directly what kind of relationship Karl had with Kingpin.

After all, Nicholas had seen everything at the cocktail party.

And furthermore.

Nicholas, as Kingpin’s business partner.

knew a bit more than others.

He knew.

That this time, Kingpin’s cooperation with Obadiah.

was initiated by Kingpin himself.

Although he didn't know the reason for Kingpin doing so.

It was indeed the case. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
