Maybe it was a relationship that was too smooth some time ago, and Anthony recently returned to New York when he received bad news from his subordinates.

"So, there's another vigilante in New York City, and it's been targeting us for a while now, right?" Anthony asked with a cold face.

"It's not just us, boss, but they've ruined a lot of our business," Dick reported, "and this guy never survives, and at one point thought it wasn't one of those street vigilantes at all." ”

"Leave no mouth alive?" Anthony instantly locked on the identity of the other party, and the street hero with this style of acting has only one combination and one person in Anthony's memory: that is the combination of the big dad and the super killer and the punisher.

But it shouldn't be the father-daughter duo who do this kind of thing, after all, although they also fight criminals, their main target should be Frank from Hell's Kitchen.

And it's not that Anthony looks down on them, it's okay to deal with ordinary gangsters with their skills, but if they want to deal with Anthony's men, they are not qualified! Therefore, it is likely that the one who shot this time is the elite punisher of the former Marine Corps who is called by the One-Eyed Director to have the strength of a tenth-level agent.

"Yes, not only did he not leave a living mouth, but from the scene, his methods of killing people were quite cruel." Dick continued: "So much so that it has caused a considerable amount of panic among the underground forces, and even some of our business has been affected. ”

"That's right," Anthony's eyes narrowed when he heard this, "Is our underground exchange affected?" ”

"Yes, and it is very affected," replied Dick, "after all, there is such a man, and both buyers and sellers are terrified." ”

"That's nerve-wracking," Anthony said with a grim look. For other underworld businesses, Anthony can ignore it. After all, the profit generated by those businesses in a month is not as good as the profit generated by the mobile phone of the Stan Industrial Group under his name every month.

But the underground trading venue is different, with the expansion of Anthony's influence and the deepening of his credit. From time to time, Anthony can receive some items and technologies with magical powers, and these trickles are much more reliable than Anthony's monthly lottery. At least it won't make Anthony wait a month and get just a lighter.

"That person caused such a big shock, and the gangsters in New York didn't do anything?" Anthony couldn't help but wonder.

There are two gangsters and underground groups in the American Comic World Conference, and they are the best of them to honestly take root and develop in a metropolis like New York. Not to mention anything else, being hit by so many superheroes and street vigilantes every day, the weak ones have long been squeezed out of New York or in prison.

"Yes," Dick nodded, "Several of the most damaged gangs have directly issued orders to hunt and kill, and there are also high bounties on the dark web. Unfortunately, nothing has been heard about him until now. ”

"And how about our investigation?" Anthony continued.

"There's no news either," said Dick with a look of shame, "I've used all my men, and I've mobilized the informants from the police and intelligence agencies, but I haven't found any trace of him." ”

This is also expected by Anthony, after all, the punisher is not the same as the street hero who left home halfway like the White Tiger, he is a special operations elite trained by the military, and he is a true tactical expert like Deathknell. In addition, now that he is alone again, as long as he wants to hide, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can find.

What's more, this guy seems to have something to do with the one-eyed director, so his whereabouts are even more difficult to check.

Just as Anthony was thinking, a phone call came in. Anthony looked at the caller ID on it, and then pressed the answer button: "Mrs. Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you interested in calling me today?" ”

"Anthony, long time no see, I didn't expect you to answer my call." Mrs. Gao smiled: "I thought that your business was getting bigger and bigger, and you no longer paid attention to us old friends?" ”

"How is it possible, am I Anthony that kind of person?" Anthony smiled indifferently, "But...... Mrs. Gao, you called specially to greet me. ”

"I really can't hide anything from you, so I'll just say it." Mrs. Gao said in a deep voice: "Recently I want to hold a party between our old friends, I wonder if our chairman Anthony is willing to appreciate his face?" ”

"Old friends?" Anthony's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Well, I haven't seen these old friends for a long time. ”

"Then at eight o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, the Hilton Hotel in Times Square, we will see you there." After Mrs. Gao finished speaking, she confessed and hung up the phone.

Putting the phone away, Anthony put aside the matter of the punisher and began to ponder Madame Go's intention of gathering together what she called her so-called old friends.

"The day after tomorrow? I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know how many old friends I haven't seen for a long time. ”

S.H.I.E.L.D., New York Branch, because there are too many emergencies in New York these days, and the isolated island prison next to New York is also being rebuilt, so the One-Eyed Director directly moved his office here for the time being.

"Is the Hilton the night after tomorrow? Can you find out how many people are in attendance? The One-Eyed Director asked.

"I'm sorry, Director, it seems that the people were all personally invited by Mrs. Gao, so I didn't ask why I came here." Due to the recent events of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Black Widow who had infiltrated the Antonistan group with insufficient manpower was finally freed and returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. to start other missions. And the news is that she is on a mission and asked from the mouth of a gang boss.

"That's right," the one-eyed director said with a headache, "what are these gangsters going to do when they get together?" Isn't it time to go to war in New York again? ”

It's no wonder that the one-eyed director thinks this way, considering that almost all the major incidents in New York City in the past year have been related to gangs.

First the group of Eastern Europeans attacked the convoys of various mob bosses, then Anthony and Kim engaged in a gang fight, then Anthony the mob leader caused a group of Wall Street predators to commit suicide, then Kim and Anthony, and finally the Penguins and Schredder.

After counting it carefully, it seems that except for the Liberty Island incident, which was done by mutants, the other participants and leaders are all gangsters, which is no wonder that the one-eyed director will smell the gangsters.

"Well, Hill," the One-Eyed Director instructed the adjutant next to him, "You go and send a group of capable men to infiltrate the Hilton Hotel first, and set up a batch of listening and surveillance equipment, and find out what they are going to do before making other arrangements." ”

"Understood," Ciel nodded and began to make arrangements.

"Natasha," said the One-Eyed Director, turning his head back to look at the Black Widow in front of him, "I think your leave of absence at the Stan Group is about to expire." ”

The Black Widow was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Director, are you still going to send me in again?" ”

"Not bad," the One-Eyed Director cheekily admitted.

"Director," Black Widow said with a smile, "I think it would be more effective for you to have men like Barton and Coulson if you really want to woo that scientist named Dr. Fashion." ”

"It's not this mission," said the one-eyed director in a deep voice, "not long ago in Nevada, three hawkish generals from the military got together, and the troops at the local military base also made some special moves. Because of their secrecy measures, even if we have checked until now, we have not gotten the gist of it. ”

"But what does this have to do with Stan Industries?" The Black Widow wondered, "Could it be that they were also involved in this matter?" ”

"That's right," the One-Eyed Director nodded, "not only are they involved, but according to our investigation, even Antony Stein, the chairman, is involved." So in a situation where it's hard to get something out of the military, I hope you get the answers I want from Stan Industries. ”

Black Widow couldn't help but cry when she heard this, because she felt that the director in front of her really thought too highly of her. You must know that just the relevant information of the power armor last time has made her exhausted, and now she has to ask her to inquire about this kind of secret matter that even the military secrets, this is simply standing and talking without backache!

"Director, I accept the assignment, but I can't guarantee that it will succeed," Black Widow said for the first time in front of the One-Eyed Director.

"It's not like you'd say, Natasha." The one-eyed director said lightly.

“…… Got it, I'll try to get close to the goal. Black Widow gave the expressionless One-Eyed Director a deep look and turned away.

Looking at the door that had been closed again, the One-Eyed Director took out the list of Avengers Project personnel again, looked at the name of the person on it and couldn't help muttering, "Natasha. Romanov, don't let me down. ”
