MUP: Chapter 70. Assistance

[Reputation points from Daredevil +170]

[Reputation points from Luke Cage +115]

Through Jessica's introduction...

Ryan previously only used the name of the Brotherhood and a few [Curved Ballistics] shots to collect some points, but now he joined the Defenders because of it. They were getting ready to avenge Ah Xing and fight the Hand now.

However, technically, both Ah Xing and Wesley were Ryan.

So, getting revenge for himself was an awkward feeling.

　　...

Half a month later, in Hell's Kitchen, at the Hand's base.

A battle came out of nowhere.

A flying bullet suddenly traced an amazing arc in mid-air and hit the opposite ninja's head from an incredible angle.

Looking at the fallen ninja in front of him, Luke picked up his eyebrows.

Even if this wasn't the first time Luke had seen Wesley's ability, every time he saw it, he still felt it was incredible.

After all, the ability to make bullet trajectories curve was magical.

Obviously, he forgot that his invulnerability was equally magical.

Bang --

Avoiding the flying chain-sickle, he lifted the heavy object near him and threw it at the ninjas. With the successive battles, Jessica also found her own most suitable fighting style. Having some fighting experience and superpowers, she was gradually getting used to the battle.

"Be careful. Bullseye's attack is coming."

Using his guide stick to block an incoming slash, Matt turned to the side. He sensed the unmistakable cracking sound coming from mid-air and warned the three people following him.

Hearing Matt's warning, Jessica's expression changed. She forced herself to calm down and continue to fight the remaining ninjas.

She hadn't forgotten the battle at the port. Jessica wanted to take revenge on her own by taking out the weirdo in the black tights.

However, just like his odd appearance, the guy called Bullseye was extremely problematic, especially his miraculous throwing ability. Although he didn't have the ability to bend shots around as Wesley did, he still posed a great obstacle to the Defenders and their movements.

"Leave him to me."

Wesley opened his mouth and turned his weapon towards the black figure standing a short distance away.

Noticing the gun Wesley had turned towards him, Bullseye's expression froze. He turned sideways to hide his body to the greatest extent possible while replacing the card he was holding and picking up a pistol.

Although Bullseye had amazing throwing ability, he was still wary of Wesley's magic-like [Curved Ballistics]. In the previous battle, if he hadn't been sharp enough to avoid the bullets coming from the corner, he wouldn't be here right now.

Thinking about that, Bullseye didn't hesitate. Facing Wesley's threat, he decided to shoot first. His throwing ability didn't only work with cards. He could also use conventional weapons when he needed to.

Faced with Bullseye's gunfire, Wesley didn't even look worried.

First, he, like Ah Xing, was just a clone. Even if the bullets really hit him, there was no way for them to hurt Ryan, who was far away in the antique shop. Secondly, he had [Adrenaline Acceleration], which made it a bit difficult for Bullseye to target him accurately.

Avoiding the flying bullets by dodging sideways, although Bullseye's throwing ability was amazing, his straightforward attack was obviously not as difficult to dodge as the [Curved Ballistics].

Wesley casually shot out some swerving bullets.

Under the superhuman dynamic vision, Bullseye easily saw the bullets that were discharged from Wesley's gun. However, his expression didn't look happy. It looked more like someone finally finding a mortal enemy.

Raising his hand, aiming at the incoming bullets, Bullseye's shots rang out, intending to use it to block the bullets flying towards him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the use of bullets to block incoming bullets was obviously some fantasy-like move.

However, in Bullseye's hand, the superb throwing ability with a dynamic vision far exceeding that of ordinary people, everything was possible.

Bang --

With a not-so-crisp impact, Wesley's bullet changed its trajectory and lost its ability to turn.

"It worked!"

Seeing the scene, Bullseye subconsciously grinned.

However, before the smile on his face bloomed, more bullets flew at him.

'Damn it!'

Seeing them, Bullseye's pupil suddenly contracted. His calm emotions violently fluctuated.

There was no rule that said the [Curved Ballistics] could only be used for one shot at a time. Faced with the threat of multiple curved bullets, even Bullseye, who was extremely proud of his own ability, had to put away the self-congratulation that had just risen in his heart and shrink his head to dodge these dancing bullets with all his might.

With Wesley suppressing him, Kingpin's best assassin couldn't put any pressure on the Defenders. After a few bouts, Luke resisted most of the attacks of the ninjas and Kingpin's men with his invulnerability, creating an opportunity for Matt to burn down most of the items in the base.

　　...

"How many times has this been Madame Gao? Things aren't going as smoothly as you said they would."

Unable to get a reply from Bullseye, Kingpin looked at Madame Gao's frail figure and spoke with a cold voice.

After several consecutive battles with the Defenders, he had lost a lot of men, especially from the last two battles. It was a considerable loss, even for Kingpin. Not only monetary but also his dominance over Hell's Kitchen, which was gradually being questioned by some.

"It's not just your loss, Kingpin. Somehow, they found some assistance. Someone who can manipulate the trajectory of bullets. Many of my ninjas have died from his bullets."

"I didn't invite you here to hear these excuses from you, Madame Gao."

Standing up, Kingpin approached Madame Gao with his cane, looking down at the skinny old woman, "If you can't give me results, then I think it's time to reconsider our partnership."

In the past, Madame Gao wasn't afraid of Kingpin's threats, but now with the power of immortality gradually fading from her body, Madame Gao seemed to have also lost her composure. The Defenders' actions had brought a great impact on the Hand's plans; this was a critical moment; she couldn't lose Kingpin's support.

Frowning her wrinkled face for a moment, for some reason, Madame Gao's mind suddenly recalled the scene of her previous meeting with Ah Xing.

"Maybe, we could also find someone to assist us?"

"Assistance?" Madame Gao's words caused Kingpin to lower his head.

A faint smile appeared on the old woman's face, "That's right, powerful assistance. "
