Whether Pepper is a scheming woman or not, it's too early to tell. After warning Natasha, Rocky arrives at Erica's speakeasy. He was also surprised when he learned from Natasha that Pepper had collaborated with Erica. He thought that the two women would never have any intersection. And now it seems that this conclusion is a little premature.

When they came to the speakeasy, business went on as usual, but Erica was not there, and after asking her subordinates, she knew that she had some things to deal with today, and Rocky didn't plan to wait for her to come back, anyway, he just wanted to confirm the content of their cooperation.

As soon as she turned around and walked to the door, Erica met her, and when she saw Rocky, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

Rocky smiled when he heard this, "It's not normal if I don't come, right?" What did you just do? I don't usually see you taking the initiative to do things. ”

Erica waved her hand, "It's just a little thing, but you're here to ask me about it?" ”

"Of course not! I've heard you've worked with the Grand Butler of Stark Industries......" Rocky gestured, tilting his head towards the box, and saw Erica turn and walk into the box area, followed by his figure.

After entering the box, Erica closed the door of the box, and without taking out the red wine as she usually does with guests, she saw her sitting with her hands on her chest, looking indifferent, "When it comes to this matter, the main reason why I agreed is still on you." At first I was hesitant to offend Tony Stark, but the woman named 'Natalie' said your name. So I agreed. If it weren't for the fact that she knew you and promised you that we would never be in any trouble. Otherwise, even if she gave me a billion dollars, I wouldn't have taken on this task. If you really want to hold it accountable, it's your responsibility. ”

Rocky rubbed the corners of his forehead, looking a little irritated. The current plan has been forced to advance a lot, and at the same time, because of the changeable hearts of the people, he has added a lot of variables, and he already feels a little unable to control the situation, "You shouldn't agree to such a thing even if I am present." Can you be sure that Pepper Potts' information won't be wrong? What if it's just a conspiracy? Even if I try to save you when the time comes, how will you deal with yourself? I can save you for a while, but I can't save you for the rest of my life. ”

"That's what you're going to say to me now? Am I supposed to feel sad? I'm like an outcast now. If your plan has a twist or turn, I can always be discarded. Erica sneered, "Don't you dare face Tony Stark?" Not really, right? You're still afraid that your overall plan will be uncertain. You are such a cold-blooded person. ”

Rocky gave Erica a faint look. "I don't seem to have discarded the habits of my subordinates, and you can't use that for me. What's more, although there are variables in this plan, it is not impossible to deal with it, what is the purpose of you being so anxious to tear your face with me? Break away from the subordinate relationship between us? You seem, a little bit don't want to be at the mercy of others? ”

Erica's heart jumped, in fact, when she took Pepper's task, the reason why she agreed because of Rocky was because she needed an excuse to break away from the other party, and she took this as a favor and reason for her delivery. But it's a pity. The other party doesn't seem to care about this favor, and her calculations seem to have failed? No, she was a little unwilling.

Rocky saw this unwillingness, and his face was playful. "I told you before, as long as you complete my plan, you can even sit down to the point where you never did. But you just feel that your wings are stiff and you can be alone. Frankly. You're the smartest woman I've ever met. But smart women have a common problem, that is, being smart is mistaken by being smart. ”

With that, he slowly got up. tied his collar, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, "Well, since you want to stand on your own feet so much, then I'll give you a chance." As long as you can figure out if Pepper Potts and Tony Stark are playing tricks or not, those agreements between you and me will end there. How is it? Such a request is not excessive, is it? ”

Erica was silent for a while, once Rocky had sketched her an unimaginable blueprint, but she didn't believe that the day would come. Or that she is a very practical person, and she must see tangible benefits before she can put her loyalty and action into action.

For such a woman, Rocky drew a short-sighted equivalence to her in his heart. And Erica is indeed short-sighted enough, and after being silent for a while, she nodded and agreed to Rocky's proposal, so in Rocky's disappointed eyes, she lowered her head and said softly: "After this matter is completed, everything between you and me will be wiped out, and my power will have nothing to do with you." ”

Rocky gave Erica a deep look, and then slowly walked out the door, knowing that he had to find another spokesperson. Erica is undoubtedly the perfect spokesperson, but unfortunately her ambition cannot tolerate being driven by others. This is a very normal thing, and he thought it would be sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. For him, where is another spokesperson so easy to find? After thinking about it, he pulled out the memories in his mind that he usually didn't pay attention to, and he finally found a suitable candidate, and this person could even ensure that no one would know him, let alone think of him.

Yuriko Koyama, since she was snatched from Stryker by Rocky, many people have not seen her in real form. She is undoubtedly the best person to do and save him a lot of trouble. And the main reason for choosing her is that she has never been seen, so it can be ruled out that someone will find him by touching the vine. So he did it if he wanted to, he called Yuriko Koyama and explained his thoughts, and it was obvious that the other party paused for a moment and fell into thought. However, after less than half a sound, she agreed to come down, which made him feel that it was indeed his descendant army, and it was undoubtedly much more decisive than Erica, who was a halfway monk.

Maybe Yuriko Koyama is not as smart as Erica, but she is loyal and reliable, and there will never be a situation like Erica trying to stand on her own, and the first step waiting for Yuriko Koyama to arrive is to completely eliminate those city forces in California.

However, there is one thing to solve. That's what to do with Marbury's Bay Villa base? For a long time, it was garrisoned by Yuriko Koyama, and now it has been transferred. Isn't it a waste of the resources in that base? After thinking about it, he planned to let Jennifer pass, anyway, the current Jennifer would not have anything to do, so it would be better to keep her busy. So, he walked towards Jennifer's house.

Knocking on the door, Jennifer opened the door in less than a moment, looked at the mysterious Rocky in front of her, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "You used to be upright, but now it's like stealing chickens and dogs." I really don't understand why you don't reveal your identity directly. It also saves you a lot of trouble. At the very least, the ****** and the Council will never be able to ignore your presence. ”

"That's exactly what you say, but you haven't thought about how much trouble I'm going to have if I reveal my identity. In the eyes of those enemies, I may be missing, or I may be dead. And in this state, I can bring them greater benefits, and it is precisely in my current state that I hope to lure those enemies out of it. Because I still haven't figured out how many of them have become my enemies, and how many of them have malicious intentions toward me even though they are not enemies. Do you know where it feels like to be the enemy of the whole people? That's how I feel right now. Rocky shook his head and entered the house, ignoring Jennifer, who was in a daze because of this sentence.

Lodge then becomes as casual as he treats Jennifer's home as his own. Jennifer doesn't care about this, the relationship is already very close, where can she care about these little things? It's just that she encountered some troublesome things.

He brought a plate of cut fruit to Rocky. Jennifer watched him leisurely eating fruit, and suddenly sighed, "I really envy your carefree appearance, why can't I be as free and easy as you?" ”

Rocky picked up the fruit's right hand and paused lightly. Looking at Jennifer in surprise, she asked, "What?" Have you been worried about something lately? ”

Jennifer nodded, a wry smile on her face. "The lawsuit failed, and it was lost at the hands of that guy again, which made me a little unwilling."

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, so why are you so obsessed with these things? According to me, why don't you just stop being a lawyer for the time being, but it's better to take a break and relax once in a while than if you are litigate all day? Rocky reassured Jennifer that it was just right for her to go to Marbury.

It's just that Jennifer won't leave so willingly, "No, I always feel that there is something wrong with this, why does he come up with evidence to prove that my defense is guilty every time it comes to a critical moment?" I think there's something wrong with that. ”

Rocky raised an eyebrow when he heard this, "Is that guy you're talking about Matt Murdoch?" That famous Manhattan lawyer? ”

Jennifer nodded, and then said angrily, "Who else but this guy?" ”

"If that's the case, I know how you and I will always lose......" nonsense, I met this super brave man who is a lawyer during the day and a hero at night, of course, there are methods of 'cheating', Jennifer is indeed unjustly lost, after all, it is enough for the other party to collect evidence on their own.

Jennifer wondered why Rocky was convinced that she would lose when she heard the name Matt Murdoch. She didn't believe that Matt's name was so famous, and even meant victory. So, she asked curiously, "How do you know that I will definitely lose if I meet him?" Do you know that there are those things about him? Anyway, I once investigated him and found that he was indeed a bit mysterious. ”

"It's not just a mystery...... Rocky smiled playfully, "this guy is in the same category as you in a way, and both have two identities. ”

Jennifer couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, "You mean, he's also one of the special people?" But it's really possible to hear you say that. It's just that why haven't I ever heard those rumors about him in the dark? I know all the special people in Manhattan. ”

"That's because he's so secretive, few of you will know about it, and I have to say that this guy is very hidden, and you're going to lose to the monster and blame the people you're defending have criminal records. He was able to gather the evidence on his own, and did you think you would win? Rocky threw an apple into his mouth and chewed it full, looking at Jennifer's face full of unwillingness, he couldn't help but laugh, "You still don't think about those things, if you find a person who has been wronged, then he will be willing even if he loses the lawsuit." ”

Jennifer now knows that these problems are actually from herself, who told her that she is short of money now? And only those guys can afford to pay for it? Although they were not defended in court. But I also made some legal fees. Thinking about it like this, she suddenly felt much more comfortable, but Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, as a lawyer, she wants to do her best, if she doesn't win him once, it does make her a little unwilling, "You have always had a lot of ghost ideas, think of a way for me to win him once!" ”

Rocky glanced at her helplessly, "I can't see that you are so competitive." To be honest, there is no way, but if you have to promise me one thing after winning him, can you do this? I don't think it's that hard. ”

Hearing Rocky offer his own conditions, Jennifer couldn't help frowning, "You guy is really unprofitable, can't you just help me?" What do you have to do with some conditions? Although she was dissatisfied, she did not refuse, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?" ”

"Do you remember Marbury's Bay Villa? Originally, everything was always taken care of by Yuriko. But there's no need for her lately. But the Bay Villas can't be left behind. So I hope you can pass, that's not too much to ask, right? Lodge explained his thoughts, and he was not worried that Jennifer would refuse, because the request was not difficult. And it's just the relationship between the two. This matter is just a trivial matter, and she will definitely not have any intention of refusing.

"It's not hard for you to ask for this, but don't forget what you promised me just now!" Jennifer smiled slyly, a little eager to see Matt Murdoch lose. You must know how unwilling she was before.

Rocky shrugged his shoulders and beckoned to Jennifer to come over to her. Then whispered something in his ear.

With Rocky's words, Jennifer's face changed from surprise at first to surprise to excitement later, she nodded, signaling that she understood, and then couldn't wait to kick Rocky out of the house, pondering the feasibility of Rocky's plan alone.

was kicked out of the house by Jennifer, Rocky's face was full of helplessness, after knocking on the wooden fish, he didn't want to be a monk, and he wouldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge like this, right? But the matter is settled, and my heart is relaxed, at least I won't cause any trouble because of Erica's matter.

The next day, in the Manhattan courtroom, Jennifer and Matt Murdoch made their final closing arguments, and the result was announced that the defendant defended by Jennifer appeared on the spot, which made Matt Murdoch look stunned, he was confident that the defendant would be sentenced, but what was the result? As a result, this guy actually swaggered out of the courtroom? This made him grit his teeth secretly, looking at Jennifer with a dissatisfied face, he hated this kind of connivance at 'crime', so after leaving the courtroom, he came to Jennifer and asked, "Do you know what you did?" How many disasters will that guy cause if he appears in court? ”

"Lawyer Murdoch, we are all lawyers, and we should also know what the guidelines are as lawyers! Since I am defending him, it is only natural that I have to do my duty! Although the law does not care about human feelings, it is not advisable to throw away the principle of being a lawyer for the sake of human feelings! Jennifer said, flicking her long hair and leaving, but Murdoch didn't want to let her go so easily.

"If you can be held accountable for the crimes he committed later, then I don't think there will be any opinion! But obviously, you can't be responsible! Can you do whatever it takes to win? Can you say that you didn't buy off the judges? "Murdoch is well aware of the unspoken rules of trading, but Jennifer, who has been an opponent in the past, has never used this method, but why is he using it now? Because she lost too much, and she wanted to win, she would do this, "I misread you, Lawyer Banner......"

Seeing Murdoch's reaction so big, Jennifer suddenly laughed, "You guy is really a guy with an excess sense of justice as he said, tell you honestly!" The evidence you claim is all fake, and he is simply an ordinary person. ”

Murdoch was stunned again, how could the evidence he had collected be verified, so how could it be wrong? And there is another thing that makes him very frightened, Jennifer actually knows his identity? What kind of situation is this?

"No way, I've already looked up everything about him, how could it be wrong? And, how do you know......" Murdoch said in a low voice at the end of the question, he didn't want more people to know about him.

Jennifer looked at Murdoch playfully and said slowly, "Do you want to know the answer?" I won't tell you anyway, but if I don't tell you, it doesn't mean that others won't tell you. With that, she turned her gaze behind Murdoch.

Murdoch had a heart eye and could catch Jennifer's movements in front of him, and before he could turn his head, he felt a figure appear behind him, so silently, he turned his head vigilantly, facing the figure that suddenly appeared, "Lawyer Jennifer means, do you know something about me?" I'm curious, why do you know my identity? ”

"If you want to know, come with me, but before I do, I'm going to talk to Jennifer about something."

Rocky threw down Murdoch, who was forced to endure his inner curiosity, and came to Jennifer's face, smiling playfully, "Now that your wish has been fulfilled, it's time to fulfill your promise, right?" ”

Jennifer shrugged, "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you, so you can explain it to this guy slowly!" ”

After that, she turned away without the slightest hint of nostalgia, and he was not the slightest interested in what happened afterward.

At this moment, only Rocky and Murdoch were left on the scene, and the two faced each other silently for a moment, and then heard Rocky say lightly: "Let's go, let's find a quiet place to sit." When I get there, I'll naturally tell you what you want to know. ”

Murdoch nodded, followed Rocky to a café, the two sat opposite each other, and before Murdoch could ask, he heard Rocky suddenly ask: "You say, I should call you Murdoch lawyer?" Or the Daredevil of Manhattan's dark side? ”

Murdoch was stunned for a moment, and then his face was relieved, "You really still know, but I've always covered it up well, how do you know?" I'm curious about this, I think no one has ever seen me, and the public doesn't know about Daredevil exists. ”

"Although many people don't know who you are, I am not included. I've been following you for a long time, in places you don't know. Don't ask me what I do, but knowing who you are is the truth. Lodge smiled faintly, ignoring the confusion on Murdoch's face, and did not make any other superfluous explanations, "Besides, I think there may be a possibility of cooperation between us." ”

"Cooperation?" Murdoch frowned, "I don't know what you mean by cooperation?" If it's to fight evil, it's my own business, and I don't need any cooperation. But if it's legal, I think we can cooperate. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, maybe what I'm saying will interest you?" Rocky chuckled, "I know your feud with the Ten Commandments. They're your worst enemies, aren't you going to uproot them? ”

Murdoch was moved by this, the Ten Commandments have always been looking for trouble for him, and the existence of this gang is also a constant threat to society, it is best to be able to eradicate them, but he is not very strong alone.

"I can see that you are tempted, how is it? Do you want to cooperate? Rocky is not afraid that the other party will not agree, this cooperation matter is an urgent matter for him, this guy with excess justice is eager to eradicate the evil forces in the world.

Murdoch groaned for a while, but he did not hesitate to agree, but he couldn't trust Rocky, and he didn't know everything about Rocky, so he rushed to cooperate, what if it was a trap?

"Honestly, I don't trust you very much, because we're technically just strangers, can you give a reason for believing you?" (To be continued.) )
