Fisk Tower.
Kingpin had assembled a campaign team and was listening to their strategies.
Among them was a young man, specifically in charge of the internet aspect.
As the power of the internet became more developed, the speed of information transfer surpassed traditional media.
Moreover, the credibility of traditional media was decreasing, and people were more willing to believe 'news' online.
That's why later on, someone governed America by relying on Twitter.
Historically known as: Twitter Governance.
Kingpin's team had also noticed this trend.
Every candidate needs a team to help him participate in the election, which can provide positions, allow for cooperation, and involve spending money.
It can be said that every election drives economic development.
In a big city like New York, spending tens of millions of U.S. dollars to participate in an election is very normal.
Kingpin and Norman Osborn combined could contribute a lot of money.
"Boss, the hottest news online right now is about Levi of Future Technology and Tony Stark of Stark Industries, and the entire internet is speculating whether they will actually step into the octagon."
Everyone looked at Kingpin.
Kingpin, whose height and weight were almost the same, both around 200.
Two meters tall, two hundred kilograms in weight, even more exaggerated than 2B Miss.
And 2B Miss is a machine body, while Kingpin is pure muscle.
So even when he wears a suit, he looks bulging, like a suit-wearing brute.
At this moment, he had his hands crossed, and his eyes moved when he heard Levi's name.
It was this guy who arrested Martin Lee and exposed his identity as Mr. Negative.
For Kingpin, this was actually a good thing, because the Demon Gang's territory would be vacated.
The only unpleasant thing was that Fisk Group lost a collaborator, and Martin Lee's list was still in Levi's hands.
This was what gave Kingpin the biggest headache; that list was very important to him.
Kingpin smiled at this moment and said, "If I went up there, I'd knock them both out with one punch each."
"Hahaha!"
The team members all laughed, they all knew how exaggerated Kingpin was.
Almost everyone in New York knew him, the underground emperor of New York, who used to commit all sorts of evil, but now he had whitewashed himself, become a businessman, and even wanted to be a politician.
But for the campaign team, as long as there's money, anything can be done.
"What are your suggestions?"
Kingpin asked these professionals.
So, the consultant immediately suggested, "We can contact both parties, sponsor it in your name, and become a judge or something similar, to facilitate them entering the octagon."
Kingpin nodded upon hearing this: "This is something everyone enjoys."
…
On the streets of New York, a Camaro was speeding.
2B Miss had her hands on the steering wheel, but in reality, she didn't need to operate it at all; bumblebee was driving itself.
This was truly'self-driving'.
"2B Miss, can you please stop fighting me for the steering wheel?"
bumblebee complained directly.
2B Miss was gripping too tightly, making it difficult for it to steer.
"Oh, oh."
2B Miss let go somewhat nervously.
She comforted herself by treating it as AI remote control, which made her feel more at ease.
Compared to 'living beings', she trusted programs more.
Fortunately, they arrived at the company without any trouble along the way, and only then did 2B Miss relax a bit.
Outside the company, a routine crowd of reporters waited, all wanting to know if Levi and Tony Stark would really step into the octagon.
Levi did not appear, but instead let bumblebee go to the underground parking lot.
The buzz was already sufficient; now was not the time to respond.
Sometimes, you just have to keep these reporters hanging.
Taking the elevator to the company building.
Red Queen's figure appeared beside Levi.
"Boss, this is?"
"Eve."
Levi replied.
"Are you an artificial intelligence?"
Eve looked at Red Queen curiously: "I wonder which of you and Mothers Domain is more powerful?"
"What Mothers Domain? Never heard of it."
Red Queen immediately said proudly.
With her current learning ability, she was confident that no other artificial intelligence was her opponent.
Therefore, she didn't discuss the matter, but looked at Levi and said, "Boss, Kingpin's campaign team wants to contact you."
"For what?"
"They are currently prioritizing internet popularity and want to sponsor your octagon duel with Tony Stark."
Red Queen immediately said.
Upon hearing this, Levi was silent for a moment and then asked, "What did Tony Stark say?"
"Tony Stark is really training hard."
Red Queen replied: "He hired a boxing coach, and yesterday he didn't even date a cover girl."
Ah Zhen, are you serious?
Levi naturally couldn't back down, thinking he should also learn a little.
"Can you contact him?"
"Of course, even though he had Jarvis cut off my signal, I can still force a connection to him."
Red Queen said proudly.
"Forget it."
Levi thought for a moment and said, originally wanting to clear things up with Tony Stark.
But then he thought of this guy's personality...
If he made a call, the reporters would probably know he 'chickened out' the next second.
He's a super blabbermouth.
"Tell Kingpin that sponsorship is possible, but he has to pay more."
Red Queen immediately told Kingpin.
The elevator reached the top floor, and she followed Levi closely to the office, not speaking again.
She was clearly waiting for a reply.
"Boss."
Gwen Stacy seemed a bit flustered when she saw them appear, as she had just arrived herself.
"This is Eve, my bodyguard."
Levi introduced her proactively.
Gwen looked at Eve, then glared at Levi indignantly.
If you're going to get a bodyguard, get a bodyguard. What can someone so beautiful do?
She's probably going to protect him all the way to his bed...
Levi gave Gwen a look, signaling that he would explain later.
Gwen had no choice but to ask, "Do you need coffee?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
Eve also thanked him.
She wasn't a pure machine body like 2B Miss; she needed to eat.
The parts she had modified were in the back of her head and her spine, especially the spine, which provided the greatest enhancement for her.
That's why she considered herself human.
Upon entering the office, Red Queen said, "Kingpin's team is willing to offer ten million U.S. dollars in sponsorship for exclusive naming rights, and they will provide the venue, with the condition that Kingpin becomes a judge and gets a share of the traffic."
Traffic was the most important thing for Levi.
Share Levi's traffic? How could that be possible?
Levi said, "Traffic is out of the question. Tell Norman Osborn about this condition."
"Alright."
Red Queen immediately forwarded Kingpin's proposal to Norman Osborn.
Now that they were both vying for the mayor's position, let the competition begin.
As expected, after the message was sent, Norman Osborn immediately became anxious.
He wanted to call Levi himself, but Levi had Red Queen intercept the call and inform him that he was in a meeting.
Having no choice, Norman Osborn could only raise the price.
"Osborn Group bid twelve million."
"Tell Kingpin again."
Kingpin also became anxious.
