Chapter 289 Hesitation

"Huh~"

After closing the last page of the information in her hand, Sidis breathed a long sigh of relief, twisted her neck that was stiff from sitting for a long time, and picked up the cold coffee on the table and took a sip.

Turning her head, she inadvertently glanced at the wall clock in the office.

"22:14."

"It's so late!"

The time displayed on the clock made Sidis look surprised. She had been so focused on analyzing the case that she even forgot the time.

"time to go."

After drinking the last sip of coffee in the cup, Sidis glanced at her messy desktop, picked up the coat on the chair and put it on her body.

This is a dangerous time for most people living in New York, and even more so in Hell's Kitchen.

Especially for a woman like Sidis, however, she still goes her own way, often working until midnight. It's not that Sidis has much trust in the security of Hell's Kitchen, it's purely because she has a gun.

Toot——

Open the door and get in the driver's seat.

Sidis pulled up the seat belt and started the car, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror of the car.

However, it was this glance that made the expression on Sidis' face freeze.

Subconsciously, he put his hand into the lining of his shirt.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Noticing the movements of Sidis' hands, the figure sitting in the back seat spoke silently.

"Who are you?"

Of course, Sidis could not give up her actions just because of the words of the figure who appeared in the car. She still put one hand on her top and said with the same expression: "If it is a car thief, then I I have to tell you with great regret that you have found the wrong target."

"Of course, if you get out of the car now, I can promise you not to pursue what happened."

"Thedis Kelly "Misty" Knight."

Faced with Sidis's persuasion, the man in the back seat kept calling out her name.

When she heard the man calling her name, the expression on Sidis's face turned solemn. The hand holding the gun handle in her jacket tightened slightly, and her tone became colder: "Who are you and why do you know about me?" name?!"

"Or, who asked you to come here to find me?"

As a police detective, Sidis had sent many gang members and criminals to jail, so when she heard the other party calling out her name, she naturally linked them to the possibility of revenge.

"Matt, I need you to help me contact the Defenders."

However, the man's next words made the expression on Sidis' face change again.

It was also at this time that a strong smell of blood penetrated the tip of Sidis' nose in the driver's seat. As a police officer, she was obviously no stranger to this smell: "Are you injured?"

Only then did the man who had been hiding in the back seat reveal himself.

Surprisingly, it was Frank the Punisher who was attacked by the 'Kingpin' not long ago.

At this time, the Punisher's condition was not very good. He was clutching his chest, and there was an obvious burn on his face. As he spoke, a large amount of blood seeped out from the bandage wrapped around his body, directly rendering it a bright red color. .

Obviously, although he narrowly escaped from the hands of the 'Kingpin', he also paid a heavy price.

"Who exactly are you and why do you know about my relationship with Matt?"

The man's appearance surprised Sidis, but she did not relax her vigilance because of the man's injured appearance. Instead, she asked more cautiously. As one of the few people who knew Matt Daredevil's identity, Sidis had tried her best to keep this secret, and even her closest partner did not reveal the news.

"I have fought alongside the Defenders."

Covering his wounds, Frank explained in an increasingly weak tone: "So I know Matt's identity.

At the same time, I also got to know you as a collaborator who has a close relationship with him. "

As a former retired captain of the U.S. Marine Corps, Frank is obviously not a fool. On the contrary, his combat intelligence work is quite outstanding. Even because of this, SHIELD once issued an invitation, hoping to join SHIELD. However, at that time, Frank only wanted to spend more time with his family. So after retiring, he chose a simple life as a military training officer.

I just didn't expect that my wife and children would witness a gang lynching massacre while having a dinner in the park one day, and a family of four would be shot and killed on the spot.

Later, after being discharged from the hospital, Frank, who was lucky enough to escape, originally used his intelligence system to find the murderer of his wife and children and resorted to law, in an attempt to seek justice for his dead wife and children. However, he did not want the gang organization to escape sanctions through various channels and legal loopholes. Frank, who was completely desperate for justice, decided to seek justice for his wife and children in his own way in order to avenge his wife and children, thus launching a campaign against any criminal. Take cruel revenge by killing without mercy.

"...I need to contact Matt and tell him, Kim..."

Covering his wounds, Frank tried hard to say something more, but the severe injuries and massive bleeding left the Punisher in an unprecedented state of weakness.

It was difficult to tell him about his relationship with Matt. Before he could reveal the reason for contacting Matt, Frank felt his eyes go dark, and the next moment he lost consciousness and fainted.

Bang——

"Are you okay?"

Hearing the dull sound coming from the back seat, Sidis quickly turned around and asked.

After unbuckling her seat belt, she still held the handle of the gun tightly with one hand and carefully reached out of her body. After repeatedly confirming that Frank had really fainted, she relaxed a little and released her hand that had been holding the gun. .

"What is this all about?"

Seeing Frank unconscious in her car, Sidis shook her head helplessly.

Gritting her teeth, she leaned out from the driver's seat and stretched out her hand to help Frank, who had fallen in the car, up. He was about to put the other person on the back seat. However, the face of the man in her hand made the hand that Sidis had been supporting tremble, and she almost made Frank fall down again.

"Punisher!"

As a police officer who has been responsible for investigating the Punisher's case, Sidis is naturally familiar with his appearance.

In fact, not long ago, she had just read an entire analysis of the Punisher's case, which clearly contained images of him during combat.

However, Sidis never expected that the Punisher, whom she had been searching for clues for so long, would actually appear in her car in this way.

Looking down at the unconscious Punisher in front of her, Sidis fell into confusion.

If she had discovered the Punisher before, she would have arrested him without hesitation. However, after hearing what the Punisher had just said in the car, Sidis was obviously shaken.

Seeing the Punisher covered in wounds in the back seat, Sidis had a hesitant expression on her face, which soon turned into a determined look.

…

"I've been thinking a lot lately, Luke, whether we made the right decision to kill the Kingpin."

Somewhere in Hell's Kitchen, their respective battles ended.

Matt's expression wasn't very good.

Faced with Hell's Kitchen, which was plunged into unprecedented chaos due to Kingpin's death, Matt began to have doubts about his actions.

"Maybe I shouldn't do this. Maybe this is the most appropriate choice for Hell's Kitchen."

"No ifs, Matt."

Looking at Daredevil who fell into silence, Luke Cage couldn't help but shook his head: "You should know better than me Matt, Kingpin's existence is like a vicious circle for Hell's Kitchen, he controls Hell All the gangs in the kitchen seem to have brought peace, but they are all based on Jin Bin's evil will. Under Jin Bin's control, innocent people die for this every day, ignorant people Children who go astray and are controlled by the power of sin cannot give birth to true peace and hope.”

"What's more, Kingpin has become an evil vampire at that time. If he can't be killed, I can't imagine what Hell's Kitchen will look like next. It may be even worse than the current situation."

Although Luke Cage's words didn't make much sense, they somewhat changed Matt's dull mood due to the frequent gang battles in Hell's Kitchen during this period.

"Maybe you're right, Luke."

Hearing Matt's words, Luke Cage couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and showed his signature smile.

"Speaking of which, where's Danny?"

Looking across the battle scene in front of him, Luke Cage couldn't help but ask.

"Danny's recent situation is not very good. I could feel it when he was acting before. There seemed to be some problems with his strength."

With the increase in ripple power, Matt's super senses became more acute, and he was even able to detect changes in the power of the iron fist in Danny's body.

"Can we help?"

After hearing Matt's answer, Luke Cage said immediately.

"Unfortunately."

Shaking his head, Matt said solemnly.

"According to Danny, the power of the Iron Fist comes from the user's heart, which means that other than Danny himself, others can't help him much."

As they fight side by side, Matt naturally hopes to help Danny. However, it is obvious that Iron Fist's power is quite miraculous, and even Matt, who already possesses the power of ripples, cannot help him much.

"Yeah."

In response, Luke Cage also shook his head slightly, opened his mouth and was about to say something more, when his eyes suddenly noticed a bright yellow laser flashing across from him.

"careful!"

Seeing the flashing laser, Luke Cage instinctively stretched out his hand and blocked Matt's face.

…

"Huh~"

Immersed in his own heart, Danny took a deep breath and tried to feel the power of the iron fist in his body.

Stretching out his fists and opening his fists that gradually shone, Danny couldn't help but reveal an exciting smile on his face.

However, before the smile on his face could bloom, the next second, the power of the iron fist in his hand was like a flickering dim light, continuously flashing and getting dimmer, and finally disappeared in Danny's hand.

"Still not working?"

Seeing the power of the iron fist disappearing from his hand again, the regret on Danny's face was beyond words.

In fact, since the battle with Kingpin, Danny began to feel that there was something wrong with the power of the iron fist from Kunlun.

The power of the iron fist in him comes from Kunlun, and is a powerful force for the Kunlun Guard.

However, after Danny gained the power of Iron Fist, he did not become the guardian of Kunlun in the way originally planned by Kunlun. Instead, he escaped from Kunlun, abandoned his mission and came to New York to avoid the influence of Iron Fist for thousands of years. Fate. From this point of view, there are actually problems in Kunlun to a certain extent. After all, if Iron Fist is a powerful force belonging to the guardians of Kunlun as they say, then they should be cautious and not choose Danny who is so irresponsible. exists as the successor to the power of the Iron Fist.

"Perhaps, I should return to Kunlun, maybe..."

Looking down at his looming hands reflected by the power of the iron fist, Danny's eyes flashed with a look of hesitation.

"No, I can't go back. The power of Iron Fist also comes from Kunlun, but this is not my mission."

Shaking his head, Danny quickly suppressed the thought in his heart. Regarding Kunlun, Danny has mixed emotions. He is grateful that Kunlun gave him the powerful iron fist power, but he is also afraid of the heavy burden and mission that Kunlun requires.

Since he chose to escape from Kunlun, it can be seen that Danny himself does not have much sense of similarity with the so-called Iron Fist mission.

Although Kunlun gave Danny the extraordinary power of the iron fist, it did not strengthen his heart. At the same time, the so-called mission protection and other thoughts that were instilled in him were obviously not adapted to the environment. Not only It didn't have the slightest effect. On the contrary, it made the heir to a billionaire family feel like escaping.

Shaking his head to suppress the thoughts about Kunlun, Danny closed his eyes and refocused his energy on the power of the iron fist in his body.

If the power of the Iron Fist is related to my heart, then if my heart is strong enough, can I use the power of the Iron Fist again, even more powerfully than before...

A few minutes later, feeling the power of the iron fist that still had no obvious changes in his body, Danny opened his eyes.

It was obvious that not only Kunlun overestimated Danny, but he himself also overestimated his abilities.

A person who chooses to escape from his mission instead of facing it bravely cannot have an overly determined heart.

Frowning, Danny was really thinking about how to use the power of the Iron Fist again.

boom--

Along with this huge explosion, a huge body appeared in front of him with a huge roar.
