Chapter 73 1 Shot

The antique shop owner he was talking about was probably me, right?

In the antique shop, Li Ran couldn't help but blinked when he heard Kilgrave's words.

In the warehouse, Kilgrave was still narrating on his own. Perhaps because of his ability, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in control of everything.

"Are you... not afraid that if you go... and be shot... by the other party, you will be killed?"

Jessica struggled to pull the corners of her stiff mouth and said with a mocking expression.

Hearing this, Kilgrave's expression suddenly darkened.

That encounter in the antique shop was the closest he came to death. Even now, Kilgrave still thinks of the scene from time to time.

He felt a dull pain from the long-healed wound on his arm.

"Perhaps, I acted too kindly, Jessica, which caused you to forget who I really am." He suppressed the smile on his face, and walked towards the front step by step. His whole body was stiff under his power. Jessica, unable to move: "I miss the old days very much, the days when you had no complaints against me and were always obedient."

Stopping, Kilgrave looked at Jessica who was very close in front of him, and noticed the desperate and stubborn look in her eyes. The restrained smile at the corner of her mouth bloomed again: "Yes, it's this look, this look. That’s why I’ve always liked you, Jessica, you are indeed unique.”

As Kilgrave spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Jessica's face.

However, at this moment, a crisp sound broke through the air.

What? !

Kilgrave turned his head in surprise and saw a guide rod heading towards him.

Raising his hand to block the incoming stick blow, Kilgrave covered the burning wound and looked at Matt in shock, who still maintained the ability to move independently.

"How is it possible that you can still continue to act?"

This is already the second time, the second time I have encountered an existence that can resist my own ability.

After repelling Kilgrave, Matt leaned on the guide cane and said to Jessica with difficulty: "Jessica, leave now, I can't hold on for much longer." The injuries on his body can't be sustained. He hadn't recovered yet, and now he was forcing himself out of Kilgrave's control to fight. Matt could feel that he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"I would also like to leave if I could, but it's a pity."

Jessica shook her head hard and replied with a wry smile.

"So, you'd better go on your own, Matt, while you can still move."

"It's a pity, I don't think either of you can leave." Covering his injured arm under Matt's attack, Kilgrave said coldly, and then turned to face Luke, who had been standing quietly behind him. Cage ordered: "Punch that blind man into pieces."

Nodding, Luke Cage walked towards Matt in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Why do I always feel like they have forgotten that there is another person in the warehouse.

Looking at the people fighting in front of him, Li Ran had a strange expression in the antique shop.

Perhaps, Wesley had been too silent from the beginning, which led both Kilgrave and Jessica to subconsciously think that Wesley had been controlled.

Although, on the surface it looks like a real person.

But in fact, Wesley, as the clone formed by Li Ran's chakra and system cards, is not within the scope of Kilgrave's ability control at all. After all, no matter which version, comic or TV series introduction, Purple Man's ability only affects humans.

Looking at Matt who was struggling to avoid Luke Cage's attack in front of him, Kilgrave's originally gloomy expression couldn't help but relax a little.

But obviously, the result of this battle could not satisfy this twisted guy. He raised his head and set his eyes on the white figure that had been standing motionless since just now.

He raised the corners of his mouth and ordered as a matter of course: "Now, shoot and break his feet."

Nodding, Wesley took out his weapon.

"No, Matt!"

With her body fixed in place, Jessica could only shout anxiously to Matt, who was gradually being cornered by Luke Cage during the battle.

boom--

In the antique shop, Li Ran controlled Wesley.

Accompanied by a loud gunshot, Luke Cage, who had been violently attacking Matt in the warehouse, stopped what he was doing, with a look of confusion on his face.

Kilgrave stood there, still with a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes fixed on the muzzle of the gun in Wesley's hand.

A clear bullet mark appeared on his forehead.

[Legendary from Kilgrave +2000]

[Legendary from Jessica +1500]

…

Without Kilgrave's support, everyone in the warehouse quickly recovered from the previous state of control.

"What's wrong with me? What happened?"

Luke Cage shook his head and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar environment in front of him. His last memory only stayed at the moment he came out of Claire's apartment a few days ago.

"You were attacked and controlled."

Matt panted while holding the guide cane.

"Control, who is it, I remember, the guy wearing a purple tie, my last memory seems to be him appearing in front of me." Covering his confused brain, Luke Cage gradually sorted out his thoughts , he raised his head and looked at the somewhat embarrassed Matt in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "Where is that guy? Where is he now!"

"If, you mean, the guy who controls you, he's lying right there."

Matt raised his hand and pointed at Kilgrave's body and replied.

"Wesley has already done it for you."

[Legendary from Luke Cage +100]

He broke free from his motionless appearance.

Jessica staggered to her feet. Looking at Kilgrave, who was shot in the head by Wesley, Jessica couldn't help but have a complex look of shock mixed with relief on her face.

She glanced down at the body, and then at Wesley on the other side who silently put away his pistol.

"Why, can you..."

"He can't control me."

Of course, Li Ran couldn't tell Jessica the specific reason.

However, he didn't need to tell the truth, he gave a vague answer, and left the rest to Jessica's own guessing.

"Could it be the Assassin Brotherhood?"

Sure enough, after hearing Wesley's reply, Jessica naturally connected it with the Assassin Brotherhood. Li Ran had not been controlled by Kilgrave's ability before in the antique shop, and Wesley, as an assassin of the Assassin Brotherhood, certainly had such abilities.

Thinking of this, Jessica began to feel extremely lucky that she had asked Li Ran to contact the Assassin Brotherhood.

If it weren't for this, maybe there would be a different scene in the warehouse now.
