Dozens of hazy figures were vaguely hidden in the mist.
"Strange, there aren't any guards here."
Sowanga asked, puzzled.
“That’s not surprising.” Murakami sneered. “The Ryan family’s armed personnel are busy hunting down our Hand members and ensuring their own safety. Where would they find the extra manpower to guard this place? Do they even have that many people?”
“Alright!” Alexandra said, “We’ve already come this far. Even if we know it’s a trap, we can’t avoid stepping into it. There’s no need to argue so much.”
Lady Gao said, "Alexandra is right. We have no choice but to take a gamble, otherwise, without the dragon bones, we will all die."
Neither Sowangda nor Murakami refuted this.
Alexandra said to the ninja behind her, "Release the anesthetic gas and take everyone in the building down. Remember, be quick, don't let anyone call the police or alert Ryan's men!"
"Yes!"
The ninja accepted the order and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
The assassins and killers that Alexandra and her team have spent hundreds of years cultivating are of course the elite of the elite, and are by no means ordinary. Otherwise, how could the Hand be such a powerful platform for assassins, and one of the twelve seats on the High Table?
There weren't many people left in the building to begin with, and with the infiltration of the Hand ninjas, it was quickly plunged into complete darkness.
then.
Dozens of elite ninjas were inside the building, bustling about.
High-explosive bombs were installed at various key points in the building.
"Sir, we have planted bombs at more than 50 points in this building. Once they detonate simultaneously, the building will be destroyed immediately."
A ninja knelt before Alexandra and said.
"Good, good, good." Alexandra, who had lived for hundreds of years, showed a rare hint of joy on her face and ordered, "Have your people get ready. When we give the order to detonate, blow up this building immediately."
"Yes."
Turning back, Alexandra said to another group of her men, "Bring that man up here."
A blond, curly-haired man was brought up under the escort of four ninjas.
Upon seeing him, Alexandra, Murakami, Sowanda, and Madame Gao all had a sudden gleam in their eyes.
Because this man's name is Danny Rand, the new Iron Fist of Kunlun, and coincidentally, the Dragon Bone of New York was sealed by one of Kunlun's Iron Fists, so according to the information they obtained from their investigation, in order to obtain the Dragon Bone, they must have an Iron Fist break the seal.
Coincidentally.
After the death of Bottom, one of the Five Fingers, Alexandra and her companions sorted through his legacy and unexpectedly discovered that one of Bottom's female apprentices, Colleen Wing, seemed to be having an affair with Iron Fist, who had just escaped from Kunlun.
Alexandra and the others were overjoyed. Wasn't this like a pillow being delivered just when they were sleepy?
After searching for so long, they finally found the location where the dragon bone was sealed, and with Iron Fist arriving, the conditions for obtaining the dragon bone were ripe.
what?
Is Ryan still obstructing us?
Compared to immortality, Ryan is nothing.
The four fingers quickly devised a plan: to use high explosives to instantly destroy the building, then have Iron Fist unseal the Dragon Bone. The four of them would take the Dragon Bone and run away, hiding in some remote corner for decades. No matter how powerful Ryan is, he can't possibly be omniscient and omnipotent, and he can't possibly drag them out of the deepest mountains and forests, right?
"I really didn't expect that Kunlun's new Iron Fist would be such a useless piece of trash?"
Sowanda approached Danny Rand, pinched his chin, and said with a smile, "A simple honey trap has fallen into our hands, hahaha. If this news gets back, it will probably make those old guys ashamed to death. What kind of taste do they have, finding such a successor to Iron Fist!"
"Pooh!"
Danny Rand spat in Sowanda's face, his eyes glaring angrily at a woman dressed as a ninja, carrying a katana.
"Colleen, I never imagined you were in cahoots with the Hand! You even helped them drug me!"
101 New Ability: Body of Steel [Seeking Flowers and Subscriptions]
“Danny, I’m sorry.” Colleen Wing lowered her head, looking slightly guilty, and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you can help us break the seal and give us the power to fight Ryan, I will make them release you.”
Bottom was Colleen Wyn's mentor, someone she greatly respected, who taught her all her skills. Just a few days ago, Bottom was "unreasonably" murdered by Ryan's men, dying a tragic death!
This made Colleen Win, who saw the gambler's body, immediately hate Ryan, believing him to be a typical evil capitalist tycoon, and that she must help the righteous Hand to bring down this evil company.
So, she was easily fooled by four fingers and ended up on their pirate ship, even helping them kidnap her soon-to-be boyfriend, Danny Rand, who was also a super-rich second-generation.
Danny Rand was almost laughing in exasperation at Colleen Wyn's words. How incredibly naive could someone be to think the Hand would let him go?
“Alright, Colleen,” Alexandra interrupted their conversation, saying, “We’re pressed for time and don’t have time to waste here. Go inside the building and check the detonation setup for them.”
If Danny Rand continues his verbal sparring, and Colleen Wyn suddenly awakens, that would be disastrous.
After Colleen Wyn left, Alexandra ignored Danny Rand's rant and rave, and instead said to Murakami, "The task of transporting the dragon bones has been assigned to you. Have you made arrangements for manpower and channels?"
“Of course.” Murakami nodded lightly and said, “I am a good friend of Shingen Yashida of the Yashida Group. Our dragon bone can be hidden in the Yashida Group’s cargo shipments and transported to Japan. That will be our Hand’s stronghold. No matter how strong Ryan is, he will not be able to take the dragon bone from us.”
"Very good, then we have everything ready except for the final push," Madam Gao said happily.
“Kid!” Sowanda placed a stack of photos in front of Danny Rand and said, “Don’t underestimate the Hand’s intelligence capabilities. Look, these are your good friends and brothers, right? Joey Mitcham, Ward Mitcham, Harold Mitcham… Let me tell you, these childhood sweethearts, friends, elders, and even all your close relatives have people planted by the Hand around them. If you help us (agei) break the seal on Iron Fist, they will be safe. But if we don’t get the Dragonbone… hehe, making your childhood sweetheart die is just a matter of one stab.”
"You are despicable and shameless!"
Danny Rand's eyes turned red, and he wished he could jump up and bite Sowanda a few times. How dare you threaten him with the lives of his friends and family? Can't you villains come up with something new?
For example, if they use their femininity to seduce me again, and send dozens of beauties like Colleen to tempt me, maybe I'll give in?
"What should I do?"
Danny Rand was caught in a dilemma, torn between his childhood friend and Kunlun's teachings.
"The Hand is an assassin organization, despicable and shameless? No, no, no, that's hardly enough to describe us. 'Utterly wicked' would be a better description." Sowanda chuckled, pointing towards the building, and said, "Besides your family and friends, there's also that Colleen, who will also be buried with you."
Danny Rand's expression changed drastically in an instant.
Yes.
Even though Colleen Wing joined a killer organization, trained impoverished children from Hell's Kitchen to send to the Hand to earn a living, and betrayed him, Danny Rand still thought she was a good girl.
Yes, she must have been too naive and foolish, and was deceived by the Hand.
When Sowanda threatened him with Corinne Wynne, Danny Rand panicked.
……
While Hawke was engrossed in his work, the phone rang. After answering it, he learned that the Hand had arrived at the building owned by Ryan and were preparing to make their move.
Hawke stepped back, went to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, added ice, took a sip, and said:
"Erica, it's time to send the Hands on their way."
Erica, quick-witted and articulate, reached for a thin blanket, wrapped it around her curvaceous and alluring figure, and asked in surprise:
"So fast? Didn't you say you'd wait until the Hand had taken care of all the directors of the Ryan Corporation you hated before making your move against them?"
“But now the Hand can’t hold back anymore and wants to challenge me to a duel.” Hawke shrugged and said, “I can’t just let them take the benefits and run away, can I? Sigh, I feel heartbroken too. I haven’t even had time to appease the beautiful wives and daughters of the remaining directors!”
Erica: “…”
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Hawke glanced at Erica; her skin was covered in fine beads of sweat, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked incredibly sexy. He smiled and said, "Do you still have the strength to lift a knife?"
“Don’t underestimate me!” Erica retorted defiantly. “I’m not one of those weak girls who can be easily manipulated into losing the ability to kill!”
"Alright, you can join me then! You go first, I'll definitely get there before you, but this time, I'll use my other identity..."
Hawke smiled, not caring at all. After Erica left first, he carried April, who was lying unconscious on the ground, to the sofa.
I glanced at the clock, and as time slowly ticked by, the second hand precisely stopped at the number 12.
"Om-"
The familiar turntable appeared before my eyes; it was a cold, precise, and emotionless system.
Every year at midnight on my birthday, the roulette wheel is activated precisely on time.
All twenty squares are shrouded in mist; the reward will only be revealed when the pointer stops.
The prizes are diverse, ranging from ordinary items to cards that summon characters, to permanent knowledge transfer, and even superpowers that grant him extraordinary strength.
"The roulette wheel is starting—"
A voice rang out, and the twenty squares began to spin wildly. After ten seconds, the speed gradually decreased, and finally, after thirty seconds, the wheel came to a steady stop. The mist over the square it was pointing to dissipated, and a voice sounded in my ear.
"Gained Ability: Steel Body Lv1!"
102 An Unexpected Joy [Please Subscribe and Give Flowers]
Hawke's eyes lit up; they were trying to push him towards the Paramecia category!
Hawke was in a good mood, feeling some changes in his body, but just then, he heard an extra notification from the system for the first time:
This skill significantly enhances existing skills and automatically upgrades: Steel Body upgrades to lv2, Energy Absorption upgrades to lv3, Flight upgrades to lv2, and Male Skill Enhancement upgrades to lv2.
Oh haha! .
Surprise!
unexpected surprise!
According to the system's logic, the Steel Body amplified energy absorption, flight, and certain skills because the body's abilities were greatly enhanced, thus greatly increasing its endurance and automatically upgrading it.
At the same time, energy absorption also amplifies the steel body.
Because even without his Iron Body, he can still perform similar functions to Iron Body 06 through energy absorption, so the two abilities can amplify each other.
Feeling his strength increasing in every aspect of his body, Hawke was filled with awe. He felt...invincible...
……
"What...what are these things???"
Sowanga, holding a samurai sword whose blade gleamed with a chilling light, stared in disbelief at four turtles... no, turtle-men!
Before he could even think, he was already locked in combat with a turtle that also wielded a samurai sword. The two swords clashed, sparking bursts of fire in the darkness.
"New York is territory that we Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are responsible for protecting. Trying to cause trouble at this time and expecting to bypass us? Dream on!"
Leonardo DiCaprio, holding a katana, spoke with great vigor.
