Chapter 14: The League of Defenders
The stronghold of the Defenders is actually not far from Luke's bar, and Luke, who drove past from the bar, has only listened to two classic rock songs broadcast by the New York Music Channel, just outside the stronghold of the Defenders.
Before getting out of the car, a cautious Luke sat in the car for a few minutes, taking a closer look in the rearview mirror at the quiet street behind him before opening the car door and walking down with five boxes of pizza made by the second chef who worked part-time at the bar.
Luke is not careful, and their alliance of defenders is fighting crime in this part of Hell's Kitchen, and I don't know how many gangsters want to get rid of them quickly. Although the average small gang does not have much influence on a few members of the Defenders Alliance, there are still many forces in Hell's Kitchen that can completely eradicate the Defenders Alliance, such as the Golden Merge.
Speaking of Kim and putting aside his position, Luke has to admire this guy. Jin is not a descendant of gods and demons, and he didn't think about finding a bug to bite him when he was poor and down, and now that he has money, he doesn't use high technology much, and he completely relies on his own brain to forge the great cause of the underground emperor of New York.
The Defenders' small stronghold was converted from a defunct factory building, and when the owner of the factory went bankrupt, Daredevil Matt Murdoch, approached a lawyer to ask Matt to be his legal counsel regarding the dismissal of employees after the factory closed.
After all the things were done, the abandoned factory fell into the embarrassment of no one to take over, and finally took a fancy to Matt here, and successfully took the factory into the pocket for only one-tenth of the market price.
Later, when there were more and more like-minded people in the fight against crime, Matt simply used the acquired factory, installed small cameras in various corners, and set up some traps, and it immediately became a stronghold for defenders.
Instead of entering through the gate, Luke turned into a small alley on the right side of the factory, where a small door was opened in the innermost part of the alley, which was originally for the convenience of some employees who secretly smoked, but now it was convenient for the Defenders who needed to enter and exit in a concealed manner.
After a few taps on the iron door, Luke tilted his large face back so that the camera hidden in the door frame could capture his face. After scanning, it took only half a minute for the iron door to click open, and Luke cautiously looked at both ends of the alley again before walking in with his pizza in his hand.
When Luke walks into the factory that has been converted into a workshop by several people, Daredevil Matt Murdoch, Jessica Jones, and Tekken are all busy with their own business.
Jessica was looking up something on the Internet, Iron Fist boxing against the sandbag hanging from the back of the room, and Matt carefully wiping his special guide stick with a brand new rag.
Putting five boxes of different flavors of pizza on the table, Luke first gave a romantic French kiss to Jessica, who got up to greet him, before greeting:
"Guys, stop by, I've got a very delicious supper for everyone, limited quantities, first come, first served!"
"Luke, did you just bring pizza? I'm willing to bet it's done by the assistant to the so-called 'Michelin-star' chef who works part-time at your bar! Iron Fist teased Luke as he untied the gloves he wore on his hands.
"What is the so-called 'Michelin star' chef's assistant, Jack would have been, okay!"
As Luke opened the two boxes of pizza and cut them into neat little triangles for Matt and Jessica, he couldn't help but cry out for Jack, the 'chef' he had so hard to keep.
"Well, it doesn't matter if Jack is a Michelin chef or not, it's a chef with a few stars. Anyway, I still like the pizza he makes. After eating a small piece of the pizza Luke handed over, Matt interjected.
"By the way, did Luke hear anything valuable at the bar today? During this time, Jin Ji didn't know where to go, and I was about to have a problem! Walking over to the table, picking up a large piece of pizza and stuffing it into his mouth, Iron Fist asked in slurred words.
Upon hearing Iron Fist's question, Matt and Jessica both put down the pizza in their hands and looked directly at Luke. You must know that after Jin He lurked during this time, several people have not made a big move for a long time, and they are indeed idle and panicked.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have gathered here in the evening, dryly expecting Luke to bring back information about Kim from the bar.
"Well, today is to hear a big news. But it has nothing to do with Kim and that guy! After swallowing all the pizza in his mouth, Luke replied slowly and methodically.
"We're not just fighting the Kin, it's not just the Kim family, the other bad guys can't be spared! What's the news? Say it! ”
After eating a few pieces of pizza, Jessica, who was sitting next to Luke, urged him to be coquettish and menacing.
"When I was at the bar today, a few little guys who looked like students came and deliberately ran to the bar to drink, and said that the Hand Club had a big deal with the Russian gangsters recently. Doesn't that make it clear that someone wants to send the news? I don't think we're in a hurry until tomorrow to find out! ”
Hearing Jessica's urging, Luke directly wiped his mouth with his hand and became serious.
"Well, judging by the various performances of the Hand during this time, they are indeed mobilizing the little ones from the rest of New York to enter Hell's Kitchen on a large scale.
We all know that the Hand is short of weapons as a whole, except for their ninja troops, which are very low in combat effectiveness, and they do have the possibility to go to the Russian gangsters to buy a batch of weapons to equip this batch of Xiaoluo.
I thought about it, there are only two possibilities for this. One is that the guys who have been trying to kill us want to use this fake news as a smoke bomb to lure us out and ambush us.
The second is that there is indeed a large-scale deal between the Hand and the Russian gangsters recently, and the guy who intends to provide us with information wants to sabotage it, but he doesn't want or is inconvenient to show up, so he sent the news to us and let us take the initiative to mess up the deal. ”
After hearing Luke's skepticism, Matt, the IQ leader on the team, pondered for two minutes before analyzing.
"Matt, if there is a third party, then do we need to care? Since they want to use us to mess up the Hand deal, it means that their purpose is to target this deal, and if we don't show up, I'm sure they will also go down and ruin the deal. ”
After listening to Luke and Matt's analysis, Jessica, who understood, asked the Defenders what to do best in this matter.
"it, if there really is a third party, then don't they use us as guns? My opinion is that we go and find out about this matter tomorrow, and if someone deliberately sets us up, then we will take him into the army and kill them all.
If the Hand really wants to make a big deal with the Russian gangsters, then we will go to the ambush first, and we will not be in a hurry to make a move, and see if the gang who delivered the news to us shows up now.
If we don't come, we'll settle the Hand and the Russians at the end; If someone hiding behind shows up, we just want to teach them a lesson, to let them know that we are not easy to take advantage of. ”
Hearing that Jessica was still struggling with whether to get involved in this matter, Iron Fist directly said that he wanted to clean up the third-party centaurs who wanted to use them.
Nodding silently, Matt waved the guide stick leaning against the side of the chair and said:
"In this way, although we have been fighting crime, it does not mean that everyone can use us as guns. If there really is a third party who can teach these guys a little lesson, that's not bad! ”
"Luke, you and Jessica are going to find our 'old friends' in Hell's Kitchen tomorrow and see how credible this news is. Iron Fist, you and I will go with you to find out if the Russian gangsters have recently shipped a large number of goods from their native Russia.
When this deal is confirmed, I will dig up the time and place, and I will not allow Hell's Kitchen, which is already messy enough, to make any more moves to join these man-eating vultures! After putting away the guide stick section by section, Matt directly set the tone for action on the matter.
Luke, Jessica, and Tekfist all nodded in understanding, and while Matt's eyes couldn't see their nodding, they both knew it, and Matt knew they all agreed.
When Matt was younger, after being blinded by radioactive materials in order to save people, his other four senses were superbly boosted.
Especially after the appearance of the stick, he instructed Matt to use his super senses to cooperate with martial arts to become a super warrior, so after being blind, Matt's other four senses and heart are not only not blind but also extremely sensitive!
