145. The Punisher
Back at his makeshift base, Frank tiredly took out a chilled bottle of whiskey from the fridge and gulped down a glass of water.
Whisky is not a bad thing mixed with water, as the right amount of water can soothe the spicy taste of whisky and make its inner sound more mellow...... But Frank is definitely not doing this for the sake of the inner aroma of Slauzi. It's just a simple relief of the spicy taste, but fortunately, it doesn't choke so much when you drink it. But with his way of drinking, he is more suitable for drinking industrial alcohol than whiskey.
Sitting on the couch, he closed his eyes and was silent for a moment. The palms of the hands support the face, and the column is on the armrests of the sofa. A little of the gaze peeking out of his fingers fell on the coffee table next to him...... That's a photo. To be precise, a family photo. The background of the photo is a park surrounded by colorful flowers. Wife, daughter, plus Frank. The family of three sat side by side on a park bench and hugged each other for this family photo, which shows Frank smiling happily.
The gang members would never believe it, as the most brutal masked vigilantes...... No, Frank didn't even bother to cover his face. Because he wanted to let that group know who had crawled out of hell and who was taking revenge on them.
The window on the side gently casts a ray of sunlight, which is particularly bright in this somewhat cluttered room. Shine on Frank's body, on the photograph in front of Frank. The weakness in that gaze seems to be the only weakness left in Frank's heart, and it is also the only remaining humanity......
Looking away from the photo, if Frank loved that family in the past, then how much Frank hates the gang members who ignore the law now. The insignificant photographs in this chapter seem to have become his last remaining sustenance as a human being. Looking away from the photo, the couch is black, the weapons are black, the walls are black, the clothes are black, and the pants are black. It was as if the single color had completely devoured Frank...... The color that is difficult to survive is the insignificant photo,
If there is a screenwriter who likes to break beautiful things for you, there will be a bullet coming through the window, shattering the photograph and piercing Frank's kidney.
If that's the case, maybe in the end, people won't know who killed Frank. But one thing is certain, and that is that Frank would never be like a devout Christian who whispers softly or shouts "Mercy to the Lord."
It's not that long ago, it all happened a few months ago.
As a soldier in the Marine Corps, when he reached his age and retired, Frank began to serve as an instructor in the army. For a man who is proficient in all kinds of combat, this is undoubtedly the most suitable job for him. A wife, a daughter. If life could have been so peaceful, then there would never be a "punisher" in the world. Or, even if it's just for his own family, for the sake of his daughter, Frank can't put a shadow of danger on them for the sake of what he thinks in his heart.
That photo was the last photo of the family together, as they were playing and accidentally witnessed a lynching between anomalous gangsters. For the sake of his family, Frank didn't get too involved in the idea of this kind of thing. Because Frank knows that there are many, many of these things happening in this world. Whether it's for the sake of his family or his current stable life, Frank, who is tired of the smell of gunpowder, doesn't plan to get involved anymore.
But alas, gangsters are not so similar. They broke into Frank's home, and for the safety of his family, Frank did not dare to fight back. So, they beat Frank to the point of dying. And after Frank woke up, the first news he got was that his wife and daughter had passed away. Mad, Frank decides to use legal means to protect himself. Relying on the intelligence system provided by his former comrades, Frank found the gangsters. But no matter how Frank appeals, the underworld can escape punishment with various channels and legal loopholes...... Even the mere need to hire a lawyer has put Frank's life in a difficult situation.
The law can't protect itself, and Frank decides to enforce his own justice. But something ridiculous. When it was needed, it was not there, and when it was not needed, it appeared on the other side...... Now Frank is the one who is wanted.
This reminds Frank of an old friend's quote - "Justice does not do itself".
With a sigh of relief, Frank sat there calmly. Lighting a cigarette, he calmly waited for the visitor to arrive...... For the sake of his family, Frank quit smoking for a time. But unfortunately, after his family left him, cigarettes became the only medicine he could use to weakly imitate his family and relieve his tense nerves...... He has no home anymore, even if it is this dilapidated little black house now, he must leave in a few days. For an Avenger, staying in the same place for more than three days will increase the danger factor.
There was a knock on the door, and the moment he heard it, Frank picked up the pistol that was on the coffee table next to him. Then, the knock on the door changed from a short burst to three long, two short and one long. This was also a relief to Frank...... He's only been in this base for a day, and it's a bit of a hassle for him to change it so soon.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by Peter Parker's familiar face.
As the enforcers of the night, no one wants to come into contact with Frank or the other masked vigilantes. But this Peter Parker in front of him is an exception. As a journalist, his main job is to educate people about the stories behind superheroes and masked vigilantes. Even the Daily Clarion has undergone a rapid transformation because of Peter Parker's presence.
Now the Clarion Daily, so to speak, has all the pages of news about superheroes and even supercriminals.
Frank wants people to know whether it is the punishers who drive society crazy or society that drives the punishers crazy......

I won't forget the usual alliance leader plus the change, but considering that today's fifth watch may be delayed until about the early hours of the morning, so let's add it tomorrow.
Plus two more!
