45. Gathering

When the lights come on, Chinatown is bustling with tourists and locals alike as a crowd of strange people in a hurry, like a boat riding the waves, jolting through the sea of people.

"Excuse me!"

As if they were being chased, the group almost brutally pushed away the pedestrians around them, an act that immediately provoked a wave of discontented complaints, and several burly male tourists tried to stop them, but were easily pushed away by a tall black-haired woman, as if pulling away a block at random, without any effort.

"Oh, damn it, this woman has so much strength!" Seeing the figure of that group of people disappear into the crowd, the tourists who were pushed away were relieved.

A third-generation immigrant from New York, Boss Ho relied on his father's culinary skills to open a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, which has been popular with local Chinese expats and other foreigners who love Chinese food culture because of its authentic taste.

"Call it a day." Boss He sent the last batch of customers away and hung a sign saying "Closed for Business" at the door, which was the end of a busy day.

If business continues to boom like this, then he considers whether he should recruit a few more workers, since there are many young overseas Chinese in Chinatown who need to work anyway.

Bang!

The door to the restaurant was pushed open and then slammed shut.

The intrusion of a group of uninvited guests interrupted Boss He's beautiful vision, these people didn't seem to be here to eat, a tall black-haired woman, a curly-haired young man in a suit and leather shoes, a tall and strong black man, a burly man with weapons on his body, and a strange guy in a red demon suit, this strange combination made Boss He almost think that he had met a group of crazy robbers, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hands.

"We're closed." Seeing that this group of people did not rob, Boss He said weakly.

The group of people who broke in, ignoring the restaurant owner's reminder, looked nervously out the window, and the tall black-haired woman directly lifted a heavy red lacquered long wooden cabinet with both hands, blocking it the door of the restaurant.

"She's got a lot of strength." The man dressed like a red demon sighed. "Sir, for your safety, we need to make this place look closed."

The young man with curly brown hair explained to the boss in fluent Chinese: "We won't hurt you, just borrow this place temporarily." (Children's shoes who have watched this play, please ignore the phrase fluent in Chinese)

A man in a red demon suit with a mask on his head pulled the window close, the hand-holding could appear at any moment, and he was listening intently, using his super hearing to perceive everything in the outside world, and the group of ninjas didn't seem to be keeping up.

"Alright, now this restaurant is ours for now." After the curly-haired young man whispered a few words to the boss, the restaurant owner took the initiative to leave.

"What did you say to him?" The dark-haired woman asked curiously.

"I just gave him my credit card and promised to pay him the rent for the next six months." The curly-haired young man said in a relaxed tone, "My name is Danny, Danny Rand. ”

"Jessica." The black-haired woman said lukewarmly, "I know you two, the Punisher of Hell's Kitchen and Daredevil. ”

"I thought I had disappeared for so long, and people had almost forgotten about me." Daredevil said self-deprecatingly.

He was originally going to look for helpers with the Punisher, but who knew that he happened to bump into Jessica Jones, who was chasing clues, and followed this extraordinarily capable female private detective, and the three of them came to the position of the Hand Club, the Midtown Circle Financial Company.

And Tekken Danny Rand also broke into the Hand Lair alone, investigating the mysterious disappearance of Luke Cage of the black man in Harlem, and also came to this real estate company controlled by the Hand Club, chasing five people with the same goal, gathered under various coincidences, and had a scuffle with the minions of the Hand Club, several street heroes used their abilities to finally escape and hide in the crowded Chinatown.

"I guess now should be the time to answer the questionβ€”" Jessica said with a cold face, "First of all, who can tell me who those guys who are chasing us?" ”

"Hand Meeting." Danny Rand and the Punisher replied at the same time.

After the two men looked at each other, Danny Rand continued, "The Hand is an ancient criminal organization that has always existed, and the people of this organization have a fanatical ideology, and every member is willing to defend their faith to the death. ”

"Sounds like a terrorist." Luke Cage frowned, having lived in Harlem for so long and had never heard the name of the organization.

"No, terrorists want to let the world know what they're doing, and this organization is more mysterious, more evil, and they have a global footprint." Daredevil added that he had fought the Hand before and knew how terrible the group was.

"So what exactly are they trying to do? Why Recruit Young People in Harlem? Luke Cage asked suspiciously, the reason why he tracked down the real estate company was because of the recent lack of disappearance or death of young black people in Harlem.

"The purpose of the Hand is unclear at the moment, but apparently they came to New York for a reason, and I have a feeling they seem to want to find me." Danny Rand hesitated for a moment and revealed his identity, "I am the Immortal Iron Fist, the guardian of Kunlun. ”

The scene suddenly fell silent, whether it was the Punisher holding a 9mm caliber Browning automatic pistol, or the masked Daredevil, as well as Jessica, who had always maintained a cold look, and Luke Cage, who was listening attentively, they all looked at Danny Rand with strange eyes.

"What did you knock? Lithium? Jessica sneered mercilessly.

Danny Rand tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by the punisher: "Okay, what we should be talking about now shouldn't be what to do next?" ”

The burly man, who looked like a moving arsenal, held a Browning pistol, and his cold gaze scanned the crowd, "The Hand has an amazing plot planned, and their lair, the bottom floor of the Midtown Circle Financial Company, has a huge crater, I don't know what it is, but I'm sure they caused the earthquake a week ago!" ”

"Whether it's the disappearance and death of black people in Harlem as Luke said, or the disappearance of the architect Jessica investigated, these are all inseparable from the hand! Now in front of us, there are only two paths, forget about it, get out of this restaurant, and abandon the previous investigation; Or, use your and my abilities to bring down this massive organization! ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, everyone thinking, this time was different from the crisis they had encountered before, the opponent was not a gang leader, or a street villain, but a well-organized behemoth.

"I want to protect the peace of Harlem." The answer was first given by Luke Cage, who has been a hero in Harlem.

"It seems that I am the first person to admit that I am a little powerless about this, and this is beyond my ability." Jessica immediately replied, declining the invitation to form a team to strike the Hand as well.

After a disaster, Jessica just wants to be an ordinary person, she starts her own detective agency, just to forget the bad life she used to have, so no matter what, she doesn't want to get involved in this kind of fight against evil organizations again.

"Oh, this is a great opportunity, I tried to fight the Hand alone, but failed, and now we have so many people of extraordinary ability, and you say you don't want to participate?!" Danny Rand shouted in disappointment that the reason why he returned to New York was to completely eradicate the Hand and make those people feel the pain of losing everything.

"Not everyone wants to live this life, and when you choose to fight the darkness, it means that you can't take care of your friends and family, and those you want to protect are likely to suffer misfortune because of your decision."

Daredevil fully understands Jessica's psychology, and he has had such a stage before, and if he hadn't learned about Erica, he might not have put on the suit again.

"Thanks, I think I should leave." Jessica gave Daredevil a rare smile and got up to leave.

Daredevil just wanted to say something, suddenly his expression was solemn, he listened carefully, a slight footstep echoed in the street outside, the other party had a strong and powerful heartbeat, as if the war drums were beating, bursting out of the sound of "dong dong", even if it was just through the sound, Daredevil could feel that this person was extremely strong vitality.

Crunch.

The door blocked by the red lacquered wooden cabinet was easily pushed open, and a young man wearing a black mask walked in from the outside, he slowly swept past the group of people who were waiting in battle, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here." ”

"So...... Let's go together. ”
