Chapter 259: Tough Guy (1/2)

[Ability - Super Hearing (Bronze)]

[Ability Description: At first, Superman could only hear sounds near him. As the comic plot develops, he has the ability to hear sounds from anything and anywhere in the city. ]

21 Club, 2 West 52nd Street, New York.

"What's wrong, Mr. Colin Looper?"

George Z. Medali noticed that Colin's knife paused and asked.

"Nothing."

Shaking his head, Colin cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.

With the serialization of the new issue of "Superman", [Super Hearing] also successfully completed the upgrade.

As one of the earliest abilities unlocked by Colin, its upgrade is not surprising.

After all, many abilities unlocked later than [Super Hearing] have also been upgraded to the [Bronze] level early. The reason why this ability was upgraded so late was purely because of his own neglect.

Of course, no matter what, the improvement of ability is always a good thing.

In the 21 Club, Colin tasted the tender and delicious steak on the plate while using the ability of [Super Hearing] to receive nearby sounds.

"... I know a good place that won't disturb us."

"A plate of Paris lobster, smoked salmon, cheese macaroni, and finally a fruit salad."

"There are still a few minutes, the guests in the hall are already asking for the time!"

"Give me another minute, right away..."

"I want a glass of whiskey... What about you, ma'am?"

"What's your name?"

"Ernest Miller Hemingway... I'm preparing to go to Africa, this may be the last time we meet in the club..."

With the cooperation of [Super Brain Power (Bronze)], Colin does not need to worry about the upgraded [Super Hearing] causing too serious side effects to him.

The suppression of the positive world also limits his ability to a very narrow range.

Even so, compared to his initial ability at the [Black Iron] level, Colin can now hear much more. He can not only hear the conversations in the secret wine cellar in the club's basement, but can even extend his hearing to wider places, such as the streets outside the 21 Club.

"... From the current evidence, the possibility of American Radio winning this patent lawsuit is very small, especially since Ferro Farnsworth holds a complete patent certificate, which is enough to prove the uniqueness of the patent. The U.S. Patent Office cannot overturn this result because it represents their negligence..."

In the restaurant, Colin shut out the noisy voices in his ears and returned to the legal issues.

George Z. Medali is the lawyer recommended by Roosevelt. He is a well-known lawyer in New York. Although he is a Republican, he is a progressive. He served as the federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York for a period of time, and therefore established connections with Roosevelt.

In this presidential election, he is also one of the few lawyers in the Republican Party who expressed support for Roosevelt.

Although the TV patent case between RCA and Colin was fiercely attacked in the media, George Z. Medalli, as a discerning person, saw the key to the case at a glance. With his understanding of the New York judicial system, such a case was not challenging at all. ….

If it were not for Roosevelt, George Z. Medalli would not even accept this case.

After all, for a lawyer like him who has been famous for a long time, a case that is too simple can no longer have a substantial impact on his reputation. In addition, George Z. Medalli has focused more on investigating the corruption in New York City during this period of time.

Thinking of this, George Z. Medalli couldn't help but look up at Colin in front of him.

If he remembered correctly, it was this person who revealed the truth about the corruption in New York City and prompted the mayor to step down.

Although

he didn't pay much attention to the issue of patent litigation, out of the professional qualities of a lawyer, George Z. Medalli still conducted a detailed investigation of the entire case and concluded that this was a simple legal lawsuit.

"Even so, we have to consider the attitude of the American radio company in this regard..."

As the largest radio company in the United States today, George Z. Medali does not think that the other party does not have a professional team of lawyers to know this. Since this is the case, the radio company is still making such a big fuss about the lawsuit. Obviously, there are other ulterior motives.

"We also need to be careful of other means of the radio company. They may not give up easily. Even if the court makes a final ruling, they will file a lawsuit against it, and even use other tricks, such as various strange small lawsuits, to restrain Mr. Colin Luper's actions."

This is not a very surprising approach. In fact, even George Z. Medali has used this method to restrain his opponents.

However, the American radio company targeted Colin, while he targeted other groups, such as criminal organizations in New York City.

Colin was not too surprised about this. After all, the American radio company did this in the patent lawsuit against Ferro Farnsworth.

"Then can we also file a lawsuit against the American radio company for patent infringement?"

But Colin is not Philo Farnsworth after all. In terms of trump cards, he has much thicker cards than the isolated Philo.

Therefore, he not only wants to win this patent lawsuit, but also plans to fight back.

After all, standing still and being beaten is not Colin's habit. Since RCA wants to drag him out through these small means, he will naturally not hold back.

"Theoretically it's possible, but it would involve time and legal fees."

Hearing this, George Z. Medali hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and replied.

"Time is not an issue, and money is not an issue either."

Picking up the fork and pricking the last piece of steak on the plate, Colin smiled at George Z. Medali and said.

Since Radio Corporation of America likes to fight legal battles so much, let's keep fighting. It has plenty of time to spend with the other party.

What's more, as the owner of the Courier Newspaper, he can publish these lawsuits as special reports in the Courier Daily, which will not only expand the influence of the newspaper, but also promote TV sets.

After hearing what Colin said, George Z. Medali naturally had no reason to object. ….

George Z. Medali took over the patent litigation case between Colin and RCA, but this does not mean that he will be responsible for the case. In fact, Medali already has a suitable candidate for the lawyer for this case. , his current chief assistant needs this not-so-difficult but extremely extreme case to build his reputation.

"Mr. Colin Looper, I have sorted out the specific content of the lawsuit. However, I still have some more important cases to deal with at the moment, and I am unable to devote myself wholeheartedly to the issues of the patent lawsuit. Therefore, this case will be followed up I will hand over the finishing touches to my chief assistant, who has been working for me for two years and is a professional lawyer."

"At the same time, I also promise that although I cannot devote myself wholeheartedly to the patent case between you and RCA, I will do my best to help you continue to sort out the case. So I don’t know, Mr. Colin Luper, if you ..."

Having said this, George Z. Medali looked at Colin in front of him and said in a tactful tone.

"Chief Assistant?"

Hearing the reply given by George Z. Medali, Colin raised his eyebrows and was about to ask something, when he suddenly unlocked the upgraded [Super Hearing] and picked up the noise coming from outside Club 21.

He stopped asking questions and turned to look at the door of the club. George Z. Medali across from him also looked at him curiously when he saw his behavior.

Bang!

Ten seconds later, with a roar, the door of the restaurant on the first floor of the club was blocked.

Pushing open, a group of organization members wearing suits rushed in.

"Where is he!"

The sudden noise made the guests dining in the club panic a little.

George Z. Medali turned to look at Colin in front of him. If he saw correctly, the other party seemed to have known that someone would come as early as ten seconds ago, so how did he do it.

Although he was a little surprised, George Z. Medali's attention was still attracted by these uninvited gang members, and the expression on his face showed obvious disgust.

As a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York City, Medali naturally would not have any favorable impressions of these guys who disturbed public order in New York City. In fact, corruption organizations in New York City also played a key role in it.

"Sir, what do you need?"

Seeing these menacing guys, the waiter at Club 21 immediately came forward to ask.

Being able to open a wine cellar in New York City during Prohibition, the 21 Club naturally has an important background. In fact, as the owners, Jack Kleindler and Charlie Burns themselves were closely related to gangs, otherwise they would Because it is impossible to get so much private wine.

"This is Mr. Charlie Burns' club."

Looking across the crowd of people in front of the club, the waiter whispered a reminder.

Hearing the name of Charlie Burns from the waiter's mouth, the aura of these gang members dimmed a little. They glanced at the people in the restaurant on the first floor and looked at their faces at Colin and George Z. Medali. After a pause, the leading gang member immediately revealed his purpose. ….

"I'm going to your wine cellar to find a guy with no eyesight!"

He waved his hand to the waiter in the kitchen and said with a puzzled expression on the face of the gang organization's request.

"Cellar, I don't know what you are talking about sir, Club 21 is a regular restaurant and there is nothing illegal."

"Don't try to be pretentious here!"

Hearing the waiter's answer, the leading member of the organization frowned subconsciously, glanced at the people in the surrounding restaurant, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Our boss has been here before, and even drank wine downstairs..."

Although the other party lowered his voice, it was obvious that he still couldn't escape Colin who had [super hearing] on the other side.

From the conversation of the leader of this organization, it was obvious that they had a purpose for coming here this time, but the specific reason was not something that the group, including the leader, seemed willing to mention. They only vaguely revealed to the waiter that it was a matter of Important things require them to go to the wine cellar and take a look.

While the leader and the waiter were talking, on the other side, under the influence of [super hearing], Colin also heard the lively scene in the wine cellar in the basement.

"What happened?"

"I heard that someone came to the door..."

"Who, could it be..."

"Don't be nervous, gentlemen and ladies, this time it's a gang member. Our waiter is stalling for time up there. Sir or madam who knows the situation, please get ready quickly. The club will ensure your safety and help you leave smoothly. "

"I was shocked. It turned out that something that was not mine was exposed."

In the basement and wine cellar, the nervous guests felt relieved when the waiting waiter reminded them.

But at the same time, the owner of the incident started talking.

"Sorry, Hemingway, they should be here for me."

"What, why didn't you say anything?!"

"I thought I was being careful. I didn't plan to come today, but I can't control my feelings for you..."

…

"I can let you go down, but only one person can go down, not all of you, and you must promise not to affect other guests inside."

While Colin was listening to the "bloody" emotions developing in the wine cellar, the waiter on the other side also negotiated the outcome with the leading guy.

In the end, the leader went alone to the wine cellar in the basement to confirm.

"You guys are watching here. Don't let any suspicious guy out before I come out."

After explaining to the men behind him, the leader, led by the waiter, passed the busy kitchen of Club 21 and entered the closed dome structure basement down a steep flight of stairs.

While the waiter was taking him to the wine cellar, Colin's eyes had penetrated the kitchen and landed on one of the tough guys wearing a large chef's uniform.

After staying on this absent-minded tough guy for a while, Colin withdrew his gaze, looked at George Z. Medali in front of him with a smile, and asked again the question he had interrupted due to the accident. exit.

"So, Mr. Medali, what is your assistant's name?"

Faced with Colin's inquiry, George Z. Medali withdrew his gaze from the evil-looking member of the organization, and then replied.

"Dewey, Thomas Dewey, he was a great young man."
