Marvel's Great Old Ones

Li Xiu suddenly discovered something very important. It was already night. Where could he find a house for rent?

In the end, there was really no other way. Li Xiu decided to ask about the Hell's Kitchen specialty that had helped him greatly today.

"What bastard said something bad about Hell's Kitchen? Isn't it great? Where can I find such caring and conscientious citizens?"

……

With a confused look on his face, Daniel was led out of the jazz bar by a man holding his arm around his shoulders. He wanted to resist and show the man the magical "rap" talent of black people.

Unfortunately, for some reason, he always felt fuzzy in his heart, as if he was a little white rabbit hugged by a monster. There was something about this man that frightened him.

With his shoulders slumped in pain, Daniel said with a serious face: "This gentleman, brother, do we know each other?"

"The young man is very polite." Li Xiu let go of the black man in his arms, dusted off the suit he snatched from Bill, and said, "My name is Li Xiu, and I want to ask you to do me a favor. Do you know anything about Hell's Kitchen?"

Daniel said with a confused face: "I have grown up here since I was a child, so I should be familiar with it. Do you...Mr. Qiu, do you need anything?"

"Forget it, you should call me Locke. As for me, I have a little money, about this much. I want to rent a house now, just tonight. What suggestions do you have."

Seeing Daniel stammering his name and curling his lips, Li Xiu chose an American name at random. He took out two silver-white suitcases from behind the garbage bags in the corner, threw them on the ground and kicked them twice.

These two suitcases were brought by the Russians, and there wasn't much in them. , because those gangs trade arms in small denominations of U.S. dollars, about four to five million.

The flow of U.S. dollars with large denominations in the market will be monitored, and it is difficult to settle the change, so American private and black market transactions generally use this kind of currency with small denominations.

"So much money!" Daniel's legs were a little weak and he held on to the wall beside him. He swore he had never seen so much money in his life.

Li Xiu twirled his nails impatiently and said casually, "It's only four to five million, not much. What kind of house can I rent the fastest in Hell's Kitchen now?"

On the surface, he didn't care, but in fact he was secretly happy. After all, he was using other people's money to pretend to be his own.

You must know that before he traveled through time, he had only seen tens of thousands of RMB at most, but now there are hundreds of thousands here, and they are still US dollars!

"Is it just renting? And it's almost ten o'clock now." Daniel suppressed the greed in his heart and said with a look of regret: "It's hundreds of thousands here, even enough to buy a house in Manhattan. If tomorrow , I can introduce you to many places."

"I want it now, in Hell's Kitchen."

Now that he has enough money, Li Xiu is still willing to have a fixed residence in Hell's Kitchen. He also didn't want to settle in a hotel introduced by a gangster like Daniel.

If it weren't for the fact that Manhattan was not suitable for a black man like him, living in Manhattan was not impossible.

However, it should be said that Hell's Kitchen is more suitable for people with a "simple personality" like him.

"Right now!" Daniel said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Locke, it's already night, and we're still in Hell's Kitchen, this-"

Li Xiuchi squeezed Daniel's shoulder gently, "So, you are useless!?"

"hiss!!"

Daniel gasped, feeling that it was not a hand holding his shoulder, but a hydraulic pliers.

Feeling that his bones were about to break, he turned his brain rapidly, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted loudly: "Be gentle... be gentle, I thought of it, I thought of it."

"Say!"

"Let me go first, it's hard for me to say this."

Li Xiu let go of his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Now that I can tell you, what did you do earlier?"

"Didn't I just remember it." Daniel grinned and rubbed his shoulders as he said, "That place is on the east side of Brooklyn near Manhattan, but he only sells it, not rents it, and the price is probably hundreds of thousands."

"It only costs several hundred thousand, and it's only for sale and not for rent. Why is no one buying it? A house with this kind of requirements and price should cost more than this for the land alone."

"It's not that exaggerated. This is Hell's Kitchen, a slum in New York. How can it be so expensive? The old man asked for a full payment in one go, and the house is in a special situation. You will know if you come with me."

Daniel turned around and took Li Xiu away from the bar street.

……

"So, this is what you are talking about?" Li Xiu looked at the church in front of him, which he had been to once this morning, and said with some surprise: "Isn't this a church?"

"Yes, it's the Brooklyn Church, that's why I said the situation is special." Daniel patted the granite cross in front of the church and said.

"Can churches also conduct transactions?" Li Xiu was a little curious. Shouldn't churches have shared property rights?

“I don’t know if other churches can do it, but Brooklyn Church can.

This church was privately built by a wealthy man during World War II to serve the soldiers who joined the army and retired from the battlefield. Later, the wealthy man declined, leaving only this church for his son. "

"Hey, Geoff, it's me, Daniel, open the door!" Daniel stepped forward and slammed the door of the church while turning back and said: "Jove is the owner of the property rights of this church, and he wants to move to the old house in New Jersey. , so he needs a lot of money.

However, this church still stores the ashes of many elders, relatives and friends, and there is a large cemetery behind the church, so it cannot be demolished and used.

In fact, no idiot capitalist or businessman would go to Brooklyn to develop."

The church in Brooklyn is sandwiched between Brooklyn, that is, Hell's Kitchen and Manhattan, and is generally on the edge of the suburbs.

squeak! !

The church door made a heartbreaking sound.

"Farke, Daniel! Do you know what time it is? You'd better have a better reason or a better urn."

An old white man in his fifties, wearing a yellow pajamas and carrying a flashlight and a Remington shotgun with 12-gauge bullets, opened the door of the church.

"So you're here to trade with me?"

After listening to Daniel's panicked explanation, Qiao Fu looked at the yellow young man carrying two boxes in front of him with a suspicious expression.

He was quite familiar with Daniel, a black gangster from Brooklyn, so Qiao Fu, who was well aware of his bastard nature, had some doubts about Li Xiu's identity. I wonder if he might be cheating on me with Daniel.

Looking at Daniel who suddenly looked embarrassed, Li Xiu, who understood clearly, picked up a box, placed it on a chair in the church, and opened it.

A green light suddenly bloomed and reflected on Joff's face.

His smile became brighter unconsciously.

In the end, the transaction went well. After wrangling for several hours, and seeing that it was almost dawn, Qiao Fu finally accepted the offer of 333,000.

The transaction used Daniel's identity information and certificate. Regarding this, Joe wisely did not choose to ask any more questions. There were many such shady transactions in Hell's Kitchen, but as long as the money was in place, it would be fine.

The rest has nothing to do with him. If you have the ability, go to New Jersey to find him.

Daniel hesitated to speak, but finally, under the "persuasion" of Li Xiu's eyes, he chose to hand over his driver's license and social security card and signed the transaction contract.

Li Xiu saw that this black guy was quite pleasing to his eye and was too lazy to bother him any more, so he used his identity.

However, after a period of time, you still have to find a way to obtain a legal identity, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward in this modern society.

"Ah, I'm exhausted. This will be my base from now on, and Daniel, you will be my employee from now on." Li Xiu sent Qiao Fu away with a cup of black tea, lying lazily on the bench.

Where did you look for so long that you were so tired?

Daniel, who was forced to help Joe pack things, was lying on the table panting heavily. He didn't expect that the favor he agreed to do would turn into signing a deed of sale without any money!

"Old...boss, where is my salary?"

"Is the salary enough for one life?" Li Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at Daniel with a weird smile on his lips.

Daniel's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up from the table and said with a flattering smile: "Money is precious, but life is priceless. I am so touched. I have a priceless job."

"Then why are you crying?"

"I've already said that I was so moved. I was so moved that I couldn't help but shed tears——"
