Chapter 117 Pinkerton is furious; Edison's daughter is born.
this day.
Six terrorist attacks have occurred in New York.
Six men and women of different ages detonate bombs on their bodies the moment they approach Pinkerton detectives.
The attack, which involved six men and women in a suicide attack, resulted in the deaths of 19 Pinkerton detectives and serious injuries to three others.
Moreover, they often chose to attack places where there were people nearby.
More importantly, everyone says something before they die.
"Go ahead and cause trouble for my Justice League."
"But if anyone causes trouble for our employers because of the Justice League's actions, or if anyone bothers our employers in order to find the Justice League, we will fight to the death."
"Please end the threats against Mr. Oliver immediately, or justice will prevail everywhere."
"Finally, we request that the Pinkerton Detective Agency take responsibility for this matter and deliver our minimum $2000 compensation to Mr. Oliver."
"If the money isn't available, then the only option is for the person to come."
A threat, a blatant threat.
This is a blatant slap in the face for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Usually, the Pinkerton Detective Agency is the one threatening others, but today they were the ones being threatened.
What they found most unacceptable was that they knew they were being threatened and should retaliate, but they were unable to do so.
First, they didn't know where the Justice League was located.
Secondly, even if they don't want to admit it, the fact is that they are also afraid; the Justice League is too ruthless.
Seven people carried out suicide attacks in a short period of time.
They feared that too many of their men would die if they continued to provoke them.
It's worth noting that Pinkerton Detective Agency not only offers high salaries, but also provides excellent job security.
The minimum compensation required for each death is at least $200.
With over 20 deaths, the compensation would amount to four or five thousand.
And it's not just a matter of money; so many deaths are a huge blow to the detective agency.
This not only affected the number of orders, but also made many people want to leave the detective agency.
If any more people die, the Pinkerton Detective Agency will probably have to go bankrupt.
In order to stop the other party from going so crazy, they immediately ordered Oliver to be released.
At the same time, it was stated publicly in the newspaper.
"The Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Justice League are sworn enemies."
"However, we will not implicate anyone else."
The smoke of battle seemed to dissipate invisibly.
But everyone knows that the real showdown between the Pinkerton Detectives and the Justice League is about to begin.
Some newspapers even portrayed the Pinkerton detectives as henchmen of capitalists.
The Justice League is known as the savior of ordinary people.
But their initial appearance was as a terrorist attack carried out through suicide. However, ordinary people were not afraid at all; on the contrary, they felt that the Justice League had done a great job.
Many people even wanted to join the Justice League because of this.
It was under these circumstances that Adam began the expansion of the Justice League.
He only sought out people whose families were struggling to survive, or who were terminally ill and only had a few days left to live.
If these individuals can contribute to the Justice League, their families will be absorbed into the Justice League as peripheral members and will have the right to develop their own power.
In this context, the Justice League's membership expanded rapidly.
However, since everyone who appeared committed suicide, no one was able to find out where the Justice League was.
These past few days of operations have resulted in the deaths of more than ten Pinkerton detectives who had previously vowed to fight to the death.
At the same time, these people are basically the guardians of those unscrupulous factories.
As these people died, many factories began to change their strategies.
Even if it means earning less money, I don't want to attract the attention of a madman.
Some factory owners who had previously employed Pinkerton detectives also laid them off.
There was no other way; they were also afraid that their factory would be attacked by terrorists, and what if they were implicated and lost their lives?
For a time, Pinkerton Detectives' business decreased significantly.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, 54-year-old Pinkerton fired a shot that smashed an apple hanging on a rope in the distance to pieces.
"Justice League! Mobilize all of us! We must find these underground rats! We will make them pay for their crimes in blood!"
Unfortunately, finding the Justice League wasn't going to be that easy for him.
Because, in fact, the entire alliance consisted of only Adam.
The rest are all peripheral members.
The only way to become a true member is through death.
Moreover, these people were blown to pieces after their deaths, and not a single clue could be found.
Of course, it's not that the Justice League has really stopped developing its own official members; it's just that Adam hasn't found a suitable candidate yet.
Anyway, he's not in a hurry. He's using this method to increase his visibility first, and then he can develop his business gradually.
While Adam was developing the Justice League, Li Changsheng, in his true form, was attending a banquet with Mark Twain.
However, although they were both cultured people, they did not attend a gathering of cultured people, but rather a gathering of inventors.
This was all because Edison's first daughter was born.
Two years ago, Li Changsheng attended Edison's wedding, and two years later he attended Edison's daughter's banquet.
After the gathering, Li Changsheng also got to know many inventors from this period.
He also knew that Edison's real reason for contacting him was to introduce these inventors to Li Changsheng so that Li Changsheng could recommend them to the Global Patent Group.
After all, not every inventor's invention can make money.
Not every inventor is rich.
These inventors came up with all sorts of things, but many of them were not very practical, at least not in America.
However, what is impractical in America may not be impractical in other countries.
So Li Changsheng still enthusiastically introduced them to the people from the Global Patent Group, letting them discuss it themselves.
After seeing everyone off, Edison said with a wry smile.
"Li, do you know?"
"After you invented the phonograph, I almost thought you had stolen my invention."
"Before your phonograph came out, I was also researching phonographs, and I even developed a semi-finished product."
"I didn't know until I saw your wax cylinder later."
"Your research on phonographs goes much further than mine."
"All my hard work and research over such a long time has been for nothing."
"However, I already have a new research direction."
"Li, my latest research will revolutionize the world; you are no match for me."
"Although your phonograph caused a huge sensation and even influenced the whole world, it was only an influence."
"My latest research will revolutionize the world, and like the steam engine, it will usher in a new era."
"This time, you definitely can't beat me."
