Chapter 110 Taking office
Times Square Center, New York City
Dressed in a dignified suit, Link stood on the platform with a smile on his face.
Today is his first day as mayor of New York City.
As a new mayor, naturally, a grand ceremony for his inauguration is required.
It also allows the citizens of New York City to officially witness a new beginning.
Reporters carrying cameras and guns came to the venue like sharks smelling blood.
The flashing lights and the dense "clicking" sounds of shutters echoed in the venue.
With an overwhelming number of votes and the support of many supporters, Link became the only choice to be the mayor of New York City.
The news that Superman Kal-El announced his candidacy for mayor and would soon be in office spread quickly.
It can even be said that some rumors and slogans have begun to appear on the Internet.
Link's avatar was photoshopped and quickly spread across the noisy Internet. The voices have become a torrent.
"The popular choice", "The Chosen One", "Make America Great Again"... a series of titles and names are constantly added to Link.
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and some people even said that a note was found in the chicken's stomach while eating roast chicken.
At this moment, Link, who was standing on the podium, smiled and gestured, but the excited crowd did not stop in time, but became more and more excited.
Until Link raised his hands and waved them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The noisy crowd gradually calmed down.
"Dear citizens, my name is Kal-El,"
Without the help of a microphone or amplified speakers, Link only needs to speak.
The noisy sounds in the venue were drowned out, leaving only Link's strong, steady and heavy voice.
"I believe everyone has heard the news that I will soon be the mayor of New York City, and many people think this is a rumor,"
"I would like to clarify here that it is not a rumor."
"And I came to New York for only three things,"
Hearing Link's powerful words, the audience and the other parties who were closely following this "farce" through various means,
They all held their breath, expecting what shocking news Link would reveal.
After deliberately pausing for a moment, Link's high-pitched and passionate voice continued.
"Fair, fair, and damn fair!"
But after Link finished speaking, the crowd in the audience fell into a dead silence. They were all stunned.
Link's words shocked everyone. They all whispered to each other, some even couldn't believe it.
But Link still kept smiling, his eyes swept over the audience, his hands behind his back,
Just when the atmosphere was getting awkward, shouts resounded throughout the venue, breaking the silence.
"Superman is here! New York is at peace!"
"Superman is here! Fairness is here!"
The nature of the crowd is to follow the crowd. They do not need to distinguish right from wrong. As if they were called upon, the crowd shouted and praised the name of Superman loudly.
Just as Link was about to continue speaking, the huge electronic screen behind him flashed, and the original information image was covered by "snowflakes", and then it turned into a man whose face could not be seen clearly.
Accompanied by some creepy images and low, hoarse mumbling,
Almost everyone realized that this was a blatant provocation and a declaration of war against official authority.
To be precise, this is an announcement of an impending terrorist attack!
Could it be that...his father is the best pilot in the entire Middle East?
Is what happened decades ago going to happen again?
The crowd was in panic, some at a loss.
But when they saw Link, who was still calm, with his arms folded across his chest and even a disdainful smile on his face,
My somewhat restless mood calmed down a bit.
Yeah, Superman is here, what do they have to worry about?!
After occupying the public network for dozens of minutes, the terrorist who called himself "Mandarin"
The American cybersecurity department, which reacted belatedly, also cut off this horrific announcement.
This farce was temporarily postponed.
But it was too late, and there were still a large number of people who watched the relevant content.
Suddenly, less than a week after the Battle of New York ended, the dark cloud of "fear and panic" once again enveloped people's hearts.
Although compared to the aliens threatening to destroy New York and invading the earth,
Terrorist attacks seem a bit embarrassing.
Major media and radio stations also began to publish some soothing remarks.
Link, who had just taken office as the mayor of New York City, was naturally pushed to the forefront.
After all, the day chosen by these vicious bandits to make the announcement was exactly the day when Link officially took office.
Under the operation of some people with ulterior motives, gradually, some people began to doubt whether Superman could manage the city and bring safety and peace to the people.
With the help of the Internet, it spread rapidly, like a weed that grows rapidly with the wind.
However, Link didn't care too much.
If the original plot had been followed, this should have been Tony Stark's "disaster".
This is a test.
But at the same time, it will also more deeply shape the soul and personal charm of Tony Stark.
It was as if everything had nothing to do with him. The so-called "Mandarin" was just a clown who was pushed to the front of the stage and was not worthy of being on stage.
Everything is just a revenge.
However, Link could sense a vague feeling.
Everything doesn't seem that simple.
In addition, considering what he had done, in a sense, he had already drastically modified the original plot.
Therefore, Link could not be completely sure that everything would develop in the direction of the original fixed trajectory.
So Link also paid more attention and focused some of his attention on some unusual events that happened in New York City recently.
The information was collected quickly, and a detailed document was placed on Link's desk.
It is worth mentioning that the current City Hall and the New York Police Department have deployed a large number of "New World Believers" and "Guards" who have always been loyal to Link.
Picking up the information in his hand, Link read it carefully.
"A bloodthirsty humanoid monster covered in flames, violent explosions and flames, suspected gas explosions and bomb attacks..."
"What Holy Grail War..."
Link complained subconsciously and frowned, as if he saw something unexpected.
