Chapter 110: The Underground King

Wilson Fisk, a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in the United States, enjoys a stellar public reputation. If all goes according to plan, he will become the mayor of New York in the future.

To the casual observer, Fisk appears to be a simple, honest, slightly overweight bald man. However, beneath this facade lies the truth: he is the most powerful underworld leader in New York and even the world—Kingpin.

Many are deceived by Fisk's appearance, mistakenly believing he is merely a rotund man. In reality, over 90% of his body is muscle, granting him extraordinary strength—he can punch through walls with his bare hands and is a world-class fighter.

Without any superpowers, Fisk is an incredibly formidable human being. He can be likened to a low-profile version of the Hulk.

Like many villains, Fisk has a loved one—his wife and son.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Thor! Vanessa informed me of what happened. If it weren't for your assistance, I would have lost my most cherished ones today."

Fisk expressed his gratitude, even addressing Thor with the honorific "Your Highness."

Thor glanced at Fisk's wife and child nearby.

Observing Thor's look, Fisk immediately ordered: "Protect them and take them back. Clean up the blood, and then head to the police station to report it as a gang fight."

All his subordinates left with his family.

Only then did Fisk turn his attention back to Thor, his cold demeanor softened with humility: "If there's anything you need, I will do my utmost to fulfill it, especially after you've saved my wife and child."

Thor replied, "Should I address you as Wilson Fisk or Kingpin?"

Fisk was momentarily taken aback but responded quickly: "If Your Highness prefers me to be Wilson, then I am Wilson. If Your Highness prefers Kingpin, then I am Kingpin. In fact, I am willing to give everything I own to you."

If anyone saw Fisk's behavior, it would undoubtedly be shocking regardless of his identity.

Thor nodded in approval. Fisk's ability to rise from nothing to become a powerful figure in both the legal and illegal realms spoke volumes about his intelligence and bravery.

Fisk knew that Thor taking over his empire would be futile. Even if Thor took control, it wouldn't be effective. The underground realm couldn't be managed without Fisk's expertise and gold.

Even if Thor were to take over, the management would still rely on the same networks and resources that Fisk controlled.

Fisk understood that the benefits Thor provided were beyond mere monetary value.

Thor shook his head: "You are the only one who can be the king of the underground. There is no need for me to take over."

"Then, no matter what you require, as long as it is within my power, I will not disappoint you!"

Thor, satisfied, handed Fisk two small bottles and turned to leave.

"Is this—undiluted Extremis?" Fisk exclaimed in surprise. Unlike the diluted versions available on the market, the genuine Extremis was rare, with fewer than twenty doses ever produced.

Previously, Fisk had only acquired one through various means. With Thor's gift of two more, the safety of his family was significantly assured!

As Thor walked away, Fisk quickly picked up his phone and made a call: "Thor Odinson, transfer ten billion dollars to this account."

The person on the other end of the line nearly dropped the phone in shock...

Back at his manor, Thor received a notification of the account transfer and smiled in satisfaction.

Fisk's value was immense—both in wealth and in his control over the underground world of the United States. He had influence over numerous officials and even many within the FBI.

Thor had initially planned to approach Fisk directly, but an accidental assassination had simplified matters.

Fisk was astute; by positioning himself as Thor's subordinate without making any demands and directly transferring a large sum of money, he secured his position. While it might seem foolish, it ensured that Thor would not directly intervene in his power structure. This move would stabilize his position and mitigate potential issues with the Avengers.
