Seeing Mr. Andy so enthusiastic, Dominic quickly shook his hand.
"I thought Giselle was just joking with me; I didn't expect you to actually be the owner of Hunter's Bar."
He had found it unbelievable ever since Giselle told them that Jessica's boss was Mr. Andy.
In his impression, Mr. Andy was the boss of Orokin Technology.
How could he possibly become the owner of a Tavern, and one located in Hell's Kitchen at that?
But the truth was exactly that; what he thought was most impossible had genuinely happened.
A big boss like Mr. Andy really did open a Tavern in Hell's Kitchen.
Looking at Dominic's surprised expression, Mr. Andy said with a smile:
"No matter how much money one has, it eventually has to be spent. It just so happens that building a Tavern here allows me to have a few drinks when I'm free."
After greeting Mr. Andy, Jessica led Dominic and his group towards the table prepared for them.
As they passed the staircase, Roman exclaimed once again.
"Is this a Steel Gunner? This Tavern actually has two Steel Gunners!"
He walked forward and gently stroked the Steel Gunner's body; he had researched them.
A Steel Gunner costs as much as thirty-five million and is sold in limited quantities.
Only the official government can purchase this type of humanoid mech. Although the Steel Gunner's appearance isn't that cool.
But this is a real power armor. The Steel Gunner's shell is detachable, and its appearance is up to the buyer.
Roman excitedly looked at Shang-Chi, "Can I try it?"
Although he really wanted Roman to experience it, these two Steel Gunners were not under his jurisdiction.
Therefore, Shang-Chi shrugged helplessly, "Even we can't easily use these armaments in Hunter's Bar, let alone you guests."
Seeing Roman a little disappointed, Shang-Chi changed his tone.
"However, I can take you to the Steel Watchers. The Steel Gunners there can be experienced."
Shang-Chi wasn't just talking nonsense. There were many experimental Steel Gunners in the Steel Watchers' testing grounds.
Those were for testing the Steel Gunner's performance, and Shang-Chi often went back to play with those power armors.
Anyway, those power armors all needed to be tested, so no matter who the operator inside was.
They all had to cooperate with the researchers' every step of the experiment. Although it might not be a completely enjoyable experience, they could indeed experience the Steel Gunner's performance.
Hearing that there was a place to experience them, Roman's eyes lit up, and he started smiling again.
It was good to be able to experience it; he just wanted to try the performance of this power armor.
He reached out and fist-bumped Shang-Chi, then performed a series of flashy moves while Shang-Chi looked on in confusion.
"What is this? Your specific way of celebrating?"
Although Shang-Chi had been in the U.S. for some time, this was the first time he had seen moves like Roman's.
That flashy and intricate style made Shang-Chi feel new. He hadn't expected to witness such an interesting method abroad.
"You don't know? I can teach you…"
Roman and Shang-Chi followed behind the others, fumbling with and demonstrating Roman's previous moves.
Just as Dominic and his group settled down, Hunter's Bar door opened again.
Upon seeing who entered Hunter's Bar, it instantly fell silent.
Roman, who was teaching Shang-Chi, noticed the sudden silence around him. He looked up and around, and upon seeing the man standing at the door.
The words he was about to say seemed to get stuck in his throat like a fishbone, rendering him speechless.
"King… Kingpin?"
Regarding the underground emperor Kingpin, anyone involved in the fringes of the law knew his name.
And for those like them, who were involved in underground forces, it was even more imperative to be familiar with Kingpin.
But the more they understood Kingpin, the more everyone feared him.
This underground emperor launched a global purge a few years ago.
At that time, Kingpin sent invitations to all forces in the World, inviting all underground forces to come and witness the people he personally executed.
Although they knew it was a threat, those forces had no choice but to comply.
And after that execution, stories of Kingpin's personal actions spread widely in the underground World.
After all, casually crushing heads like balloons made very few people dare to provoke Kingpin.
Especially after Kingpin's power greatly increased later, his control over the underground World became even more terrifying.
Seeing Roman's dazed look, Shang-Chi looked up at Kingpin, who was walking towards Mr. Andy.
He asked with a strange expression, "Isn't that just Boss Kingpin? Why are you so scared?"
He certainly knew Kingpin, or rather, everyone in Hell's Kitchen knew Kingpin.
But he didn't find Kingpin scary. Moreover, they were in Hunter's Bar, and as Mr. Andy's good friend, Kingpin wouldn't just kill people randomly.
"Just Kingpin? That's Boss Kingpin! It's the underground emperor Kingpin!!!"
Roman whispered to Shang-Chi, afraid that Kingpin would hear Shang-Chi's remarks and be displeased.
But Shang-Chi was unconcerned; he and Kingpin had already met.
Even Kingpin's arrival was due to an invitation he had personally delivered.
"Don't worry, Boss Kingpin is actually very amiable."
After saying that to Roman, Shang-Chi hurried towards Hunter's Bar door.
There were still a lot of gifts Kingpin had brought, and there were quite a few of them, so he needed to go help quickly.
"Mrs. Vanessa, you and Richard go inside first. Leave this to us."
Looking at the two people standing in front of Hunter's Bar door, Shang-Chi said with a smile.
He and Luke picked up the gifts on the ground and entered Hunter's Bar.
Mr. Andy, who was talking with Kingpin, smiled when he saw Richard, who was as strong as a calf.
"Long time no see, Richard. How's football going lately?"
Upon seeing Mr. Andy, Richard smiled happily.
"I'm already a reserve player on the football team. In a few years, I'll be able to officially participate in matches."
When it came to competitions, Richard seemed a little troubled.
His physical fitness was inherited from Kingpin, coupled with daily scientific and effective training methods.
Now his physical fitness was almost on par with professional players, but his age was simply too young.
This made the team's coach very difficult; such a standard seed player lost the opportunity to play because his age did not meet the standard.
So Richard only had the opportunity to train with the professional players, and not even the chance to be a substitute sitting by the Water cooler.
This really made Richard uncomfortable, so he just had to wait for his age to meet the requirements, and then he could gallop on the field.
Seeing his son's eagerness to grow up immediately, Kingpin laughed.
This laugh made the entire Tavern's atmosphere less oppressive, and everyone seemed to come alive, continuing to make noisy sounds.
"Haha, your deterrent power is truly terrifying. I think even our President doesn't have your authority."
Seeing Hunter's Bar return to its previous state, Mr. Andy laughed and patted Kingpin's arm.
"Of course, after all, a President can be replaced at any time, but there can only be one Emperor."
Kingpin seemed very satisfied with the deterrent power he displayed.
Only by making everyone fear him could he solidify his control over the underground World.
Dr. Ethan picked up an empty wine glass and poured Kingpin a glass of whiskey.
"I didn't expect Jessica and the others to even invite you. I have newly manufactured equipment here; take a few sets with you later."
For a big boss like Kingpin, Dr. Ethan knew his weakness well.
Vanessa and Richard absolutely could not be in danger, so he had long ago manufactured special equipment for Kingpin and his family.
Adding another layer of protection under Mr. Andy's Energy Shield.
After thinking for a moment, Kingpin nodded in agreement.
He knew the meaning of this equipment; it was to help him protect his family.
The Energy Shield sent by Mr. Andy was like this, and the special equipment Dr. Ethan was going to give was also like this.
These were all to protect Vanessa and Richard, so they wouldn't be in danger from his opponents' attacks.
As for what equipment Dr. Ethan would bring out, Kingpin had no way of knowing.
After all, he wasn't a scientist, and his imagination was limited.
"How did Mr. Andy come to know Kingpin? I don't think there should be any intersection between them, right?"
Looking at Mr. Andy and the others laughing heartily, Giselle leaned over and asked Jessica.
Mr. Andy and Kingpin were clearly big shots from two different Worlds; there should be no connection between them at all.
But the scene they saw before them seemed as if they had known each other for a long time, which made Dominic and the others feel incredible.
"I'm not quite sure how Boss and them met. When I met them, Kingpin already had a very good relationship with Mr. Andy."
Jessica shrugged, showing an expression that she wasn't too sure either.
She really didn't know why Mr. Andy and Kingpin's relationship was so good, because when she met Mr. Andy.
It was Kingpin who took her to meet him, and she had never asked Mr. Andy about it either.
After all, this kind of thing had little value; using that time to do other things was much better than investigating this question.
At this moment, Hunter's Bar door was pushed open again, and the Frank family entered Hunter's Bar.
Frank, with his wife and children, walked into the Hunter's Tavern together.
Seeing two children about his age next to Frank, Richard's eyes lit up.
He ran towards the two of them excitedly, "Little Frank, Lisa, you're here too."
The two, who were originally a little unfamiliar with their surroundings, instantly relaxed upon seeing Richard.
There were familiar people here, and the three children laughed happily as they ran around Hunter's Bar.
Meanwhile, Frank took his wife and went to Mr. Andy and the others.
"This is my wife, Maria. Thank you for saving them, for saving my family."
The current Frank no longer had his previous tough-guy demeanor; instead, he seemed like a good, family-oriented man.
Facing Frank's sincere thanks, Mr. Andy smiled and nodded.
"It's nothing; at least it established a good image for Orokin, didn't it?"
After a small joke, Mr. Andy looked at Maria.
This woman was very beautiful, no wonder she could make a tough soldier like Frank give up everything.
"Hello, Mrs. Maria, please forgive me for not remembering you. You know there were quite a lot of injured people that day."
Hearing Mr. Andy's explanation, Maria showed a hint of a smile.
"I think you'll remember me from today onwards. See you later, gentlemen, I'm going to chat with Vanessa."
Saying that with a light laugh, Maria walked towards Vanessa.
Compared to the men here, the women would have more to talk about among themselves.
After Maria left, Frank looked at Kingpin and extended his hand, saying:
"Our last cooperation was very pleasant. If you need anything, I can help."
Seeing Frank's gesture, Kingpin extended his hand and shook his.
"You're the first person I've met who can cooperate with me so perfectly. If you have any problems, you can always come to me.
And our children get along quite well, so I think we'll have a lot in common."
Although they were meeting for the first time, they both had a good impression of each other.
The two smiled at each other. Their respective experiences made it impossible for them to live like the other.
But in some matters, they could still help each other, as their priorities were different.
