American Comics: The Law of Strength

In the early morning, on the outskirts of New York City, a dilapidated building stands on the edge of the city, the product of a development plan by a mayor to win votes, and the building is quickly abandoned at the end of the mayor's term.

In the end, the people's tax money was only exchanged for a tragic building that had completed the main project, and the interior had hardly undergone any decoration and had no practical meaning.

The building's exterior has now been eroded beyond recognition by the wind and rain of time, and the walls are covered with cracks and falling stones.

Once only homeless and adventurous teenagers frequented the area, the walls were littered with personal graffiti and the corners were piled with tattered necessities.

But at this time, there was no homeless figure in the building, replaced by a black-pressed figure, a large number of trained ninjas gathered here, and only a few gang members with their own weapons vigilantly gathered in a pile, it seemed that standing with their companions could somewhat eliminate a little of the anxiety of being surrounded by these ninjas.

And by the window of the dilapidated building, a huge dark shadow was standing there, but it was Fisk, who had disappeared for months.

The glass on the window has been completely shattered, leaving only some broken pieces of glass, scattered on the ground, like crystal fragments scattered on the earth.

The sound of the wind blowing in from the empty window frame is constant, making people feel a little cool.

But Fisk was still standing majestically in front of the window, and beside him, Murdoch stood quietly, he had waited for an unknown amount of time, but his expression was still respectful, without the slightest impatience.

Although more than a hundred people gathered in the building at this time, no one talked, and the whole building was silent, except for the crunching sound of decaying wooden materials, the bar called Kobe Bryant next to the building.

The oppressive atmosphere upset the few gang members, who stared more eagerly than their own leader at the figure outside the window, waiting for the man who conveyed the message of victory.

And soon part of their wishes were realized.

In the distant street, a strong figure in leopard skin is galloping on the road, but the man is as fast as a real cheetah, his feet are much faster than a speeding car, and passers-by who get up early even rub their eyes when they see this galloping figure thinking that they have not woken up.

Not long after that figure has come downstairs, the stairs and corridors inside the building have been abandoned for many years, even if no one walks by, it will fall from time to time broken stone slag, if a strong man like him goes up, I am afraid that he will immediately step on a certain staircase, and the strong man is too lazy to waste time climbing the stairs, he directly jumped outside the building and climbed the gap in the outer wall of the building, and at the moment he found the borrowing point, he jumped up again, and climbed up tens of meters between several jumps, Then he completely smashed the remaining part of the broken window and jumped directly in front of Fisk.

A muscular man climbed a distance of forty meters on the building with his bare hands and broke through the window, which is almost like the plot of a movie.

And the image of the person who came is also very much in line with the shape of the protagonist of the movie.

The height of the visitor is almost comparable to Fisk, and his face is very rough, his angular face is also handsome, he has short clean hair, a mustache on his lips, and his jaw to sideburns are also covered by a beard, and his clothes are made of animal skin, and the belt around his waist is directly composed of animal bones, only the buckle is a copper lion's head, and a huge hunting knife that looks as if it will be cut is pinned to his waist.

And the person who came is obviously quite a wild image, but for some reason, he can inexplicably feel a hint of gentlemanly demeanor from him.

"Hunters... Craven..."

Murdoch paused for the cane in his hand, which was regarded as a greeting, and also signaled that the other party could start reporting the situation.

The strong man called Craven ignored it, he patted his body with his hand, cleaned the glass shards from his hair and fur, and then said with a bit of sarcasm:

"The whole army was destroyed, and none of your men were able to return."

"Kah! Kah! Kah! "

As soon as Craven finished speaking, Fisk's fist clenched tightly, and the violent sound seemed to remind others of the strength contained in this fist.

Murdoch also frowned, he carefully "examined" Craven, and then said for his boss:

"Explain the details."

The hunter Cleven clasped his hands to his chest and lightly explained what he saw, and at the same time speculated about the parts he did not see based on his own experience, and his speculation was not much different from what really happened, only the details were different.

But then he was greeted by Fisk's angry questioning.

"You said you watched Erica being taken away without doing anything? You haven't forgotten why I hired you, right? "

Feeling the boss's anger, several gang members immediately raised their weapons and aimed at the hunter Craven, only to wait for the boss's order to pull the trigger, and although the ninjas waiting in line did not move, their cold eyes also locked on the hunter Craven.

And Hunter Craven's face did not have the slightest fear.

"I am a hunter, not those reckless thugs under you, and I will not rush to attack without understanding the habits and characteristics of my prey."

Then he stepped forward and stood in front of Fisk and said:

"And I also said in our agreement that my highest priority is only Ghost Spider-Man."

"We can understand."

It was Murdoch, who was standing on the sidelines, his attitude much kinder than his boss, first waving his hand for the gang members to lay down their weapons, and then he came to his boss.

"Although this operation failed, in fact, our losses were not large, strictly speaking, we only lost Erica and Ms. Bullseye."

Although his girlfriend was included, there was no anxiety or worry on Murdoch's face, as if he were talking about just two insignificant subordinates.

"My ninjas can all be resurrected by the power of great beasts, even if the entire army is destroyed, it will only take a little time to wait, and the loss of Erica and Ms. Bullseye will not affect us as a whole.

Moreover, Hydra will give us a certain reward regardless of the success or failure of the mission, and the failure of this mission only causes us to earn a little less. "

Murdoch's words calmed Fisk's anger slightly, he had already understood that this was a profitable business when Hydra reached an agreement, but when he was once again thwarted by the Bernano family and lost at the hands of that Batman, he still couldn't calmly accept it.

But at this time he barely contained his anger, and he reached out and held the shoulder of the hunter Craven and whispered:

"Then hurry up and finish your duty, I want you to bring that damn ghost Spider-Man right away, and you won't get a penny until you do it."

Hunter Craven pouted indifferently, he did not take this business purely for money, his biggest purpose in coming here was to hunt this ghost Spider-Man.

He wants to defeat his fear of spiders, and in this he considers himself very similar to Batman but fundamentally different.

In order to defeat his fear of bats and bring this fear to criminals, Batman dresses himself up as a bat, and he wants to hunt his biggest fear.

The contemptuous attitude of the hunter craven made the anger in Fisk's heart ignite again, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the hunter craven, with a dangerous red light in his eyes, but Murdoch suddenly reached out to stop him.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fisk's eyes, Murdoch has always been a modest image as a friend he has known since childhood, and he has never crossed the line when facing him, and when Fisk followed the arm that stopped him to look at Murdoch, he found that he was "staring" at the ceiling of the dilapidated building with a serious face.

The hunter Craven also immediately sensed the threat from the top of his head, he showed a hint of an interested smile, stroked the hilt of the hunting knife on his waist, and was ready to hunt.

And Murdoch's ninjas had also begun to act, and at this moment, Gwen, who realized that she had been exposed, poked her head out of the gap in the ceiling, and then she asked a little cautiously:

"Just bring Ghost Spider-Man? Can I claim a bounty? Or this Mr. Craven, maybe we can work together to earn him? "

And what answered her was an overwhelming cold knife light.

Shurikens, kunai, bullets, hit Gwen almost at the same time, and Gwen rolled over and dodged several shurikens before disappearing from the ceiling again.

And Murdoch finally showed a dissatisfied look at this time and said in a deep voice to the hunter Craven:

"You're being followed!"

"Do you think anyone in the world can follow me without me noticing?"

The hunter Craven stared at his dream prey, his eyes shining, he didn't bother to continue entanglement with Murdoch, and directly said the conclusion.

"They obviously arrived here before me, so they can only get information from the two captives you just abandoned."

After saying that, he jumped directly through the fragile ceiling and jumped directly to track down Gwen's figure.

Murdoch, on the other hand, stared at Craven's back, determined to dispose of the arrogant and arrogant guy when the matter was over.

Although the top priority at the moment should be dealing with the intruder, he couldn't help but assure Fisk:

"Erica and Ms. Bullseye are both highly trained, and they would rather die than confide any of our intelligence."

And Fisk just waved his hand, he didn't think it was a bad thing to be found by Ghost Spider-Man and others, the last failure, months of hiding and tonight's bad news had made him accumulate a lot of anger, he urgently needed a channel to vent, and now they just happened to be sent to the door.

Although Milk, who is the target of the mission, can't get it, killing Ghost Spider-Man and Batman can also have the same effect.

He hasn't lost tonight, and now he's going to turn defeat into victory!

Then everyone pursued in the direction of Gwen's escape.

But Gwen had no intention of fighting back, she didn't stop except to deal with one or two roadblockers occasionally, just ran all the way to the heights.

At this time, dust and cobwebs permeated every corner of the building's roof, the towering tower was struck by lightning, and the spire at the top was gone, leaving only a messy patch of tiles and broken beams.

However, in the midst of this ruin, tiny red rays of light could be faintly seen flickering everywhere.

Peter and Felicia, on the other hand, were standing in the distance, watching several Bernano family guards disguised as construction workers placing warning signs on both sides of the road to stop vehicles.

Peter monitored the movements of the enemies downstairs with a crow while checking the progress of the guards, while Felicia on the side quickly and secretly cleaned up the ninjas who were sent out to investigate the situation around them, and occasionally she could hear Fisk's roar, and whenever the roar sounded, she would show her long-disappeared charming smile, and her eyes would flash scarlet.

Peter held the detonator in his hand and waited for Gwen to lead them to the tall building.

Using bomb traps to deal with the enemies in the building is a course of action that Diane decides on after learning about the remaining number of enemies from Erica and Ms. Bullseye.

Although Gwen did not want to cause casualties, she could also understand that they had to dispose of this group of enemies immediately, otherwise they would disappear into the city again, and at the moment they had less than ten people at their disposal, and Gwen could not think of a better solution in the face of ten times her own enemies, and she had promised Peter that she would not hinder Peter's plan, so she took the initiative to arrange the bomb on the roof and the decoy, hoping to save a few people when the explosion occurred. Send them to the police station.

Peter glanced at the Kobe Bar not far away, only hoping that the building could survive the explosion, because it was in the suburbs, there were not many buildings around, and the only thing that would be affected if the building collapsed completely was this bar.

But at the moment, they can't take much into account, at this time Fisker and the others have realized Gwen's intentions, although they don't know what is waiting for them on the roof, but they have detected the dangerous aura, at this time, they almost all stay nearby and watch, only the fierce ninja troops and the bloody gang members rush forward without any alert.

"Gwen, detonate in five seconds!"

Peter counted down in the walkie-talkie, watching Gwen hoist the gang members from spider silk, and then jumped off the tall building with a few cocoons and pressed the detonation button.

Although several people were some distance away from the building, they could still feel a vibration from the ground, followed by the loud sound of the explosion and the dull sound characteristic of the collapse of the building.

The earthquake shook, and the tower on the top of the building instantly turned into a rain of stone, and the rest of the building was crumbling like a wooden toy.

The ceiling of each floor of the building was broken, falling with stones, and the entire load-bearing wall of the building was covered with cobweb-like cracks, and the whole building was about to fall, but in the end, it still supported its body like a scarred, sad and lonely giant.

Then, Fisk, who was covered in dust, carried Murdoch, who had fallen due to the loud noise, out of the door of the building, while the subordinates around him were not even half as before.

But he still didn't think he had failed, he walked out the door, and sure enough saw the ghost Spider-Man who had just landed in the distance, and beside her, Batman and Catwoman Felicia were staring at him, and then Fisk put Murdoch aside, patted the dust on his body, straightened his suit, and prepared to launch his most important charge.
