When Frank stepped into the room, Hong Fei had already silently put the skill card "Deceive Time and Confuse the Crowd" into the card slot and activated it directly.
[Active skill card: deceiving the public] (green)
"After using skills, any lie you tell has a low probability of gaining the absolute trust of others."
After Frank sat down in the living room, he kept looking straight at Hong Fei.
"Don't look at me like that, it's not like I won't give it to you." Hong Fei turned around and took out a thin booklet from the bookshelf, "New York is not big, and small is not small. At first glance, the underground forces are intricately connected, but in fact they are the leader.
There are no more than five fingers, and the rest are either following these leaders to make a living, or they are some small gangs that even the police are too lazy to pay attention to."
Sitting opposite Frank and pushing the book forward, Hong Fei added: "But then again, the top few cannot be considered small forces if taken alone, they are all international criminal gangs. New York is
The prosperity of this city has indeed attracted a lot of people to come and stay, but the corresponding darkness is also growing along with it."
"When it comes to cleaning up, it's difficult to complete it alone. How about we continue to cooperate?"
Frank flipped through the book and looked up at Hong Fei, then lowered his head again.
After Frank suffered a big change, it was difficult for Frank to truly trust others, so he spent most of his time as a punisher alone. Although Hong Fei and he had acted together for nearly a month, it was a clear deal.
A conditional cooperation.
Hong Fei: "Do you know my wish? My biggest wish is world peace."
Frank was unmoved.
"You may not know this, but before I met you, I would often go out for a walk, not for a walk, but to drive away the gangsters on the street. I also threw many of the guys who had committed crimes at the door of the police station.
This is not because I want to show off my strength, but simply because it makes me feel happy."
"The crackdown on gangs is necessary and cannot be slacked off. I always firmly believe in this."
"In this city, people's lives are already under high economic pressure. The existence of gangs will undoubtedly further squeeze and exploit people. Their lives and property safety are always under threat."
"Imagine that you have worked hard for more than half a year, and after receiving a meager bonus, you happily took your wife and children out to prepare for a good meal. Suddenly, you were robbed by gangsters... ahem, suddenly you were robbed by gangsters!"
"So, a day without gangs is a good day!"
Frank slowly raised his head and saw Hong Fei's eyes shining brightly.
"Why have you become so nagging? Can you let me read these things quietly?"
Hong Fei smacked his lips and lowered his voice: "Well, actually, the reason why I say so much is to let you know that I am actually very determined to fight against the evil forces. Although our deal has been completed,
But I think our cooperation is generally quite pleasant, so how about we continue to cooperate?”
Frank said without raising his head this time: "You want to recruit me?"
"That's right, but recruiting is a bit biased. It should be win-win cooperation."
Frank closed the book: "But I don't think you want to eliminate gangsters."
"You misunderstood me."
"Based on nearly a month of cooperation, I still think you are a potential terror..."
"Stop!" Hong Fei quickly raised his hand, "This is all because you only saw the surface. What do you think gangs are? It is true that most of the gangs in New York are international criminal gangs, but do you think this is the end? In your life,
Is this all you want to do in New York?”
Frank frowned: "What do you mean?"
"You know the Hand now. They have a history of hundreds of years, but aren't there any dark forces in this world that are older than them? There must be, and I know clearly what they want to do, and I even know where they are.
To be honest, with your own strength, trying to deal with a Hand is enough to make you confused, but what if the target is an organization that has lasted for thousands of years?"
Hong Fei said seriously: "You can't imagine how much wealth they have accumulated, how many people they have gathered, how many people have climbed to high positions in the government, and how many people are hidden among the general public. But once they decide to act, they will definitely
It is like a tsunami that is impacting the existing world order. By then, I don’t know how many families will be destroyed, and I don’t know how many Frank Custer will be born.”
"My target is indeed not gangsters, because in my opinion, they can only be regarded as scabies at best. What really needs to be cleaned up is a stubborn disease that is attached to the bones and has even spread into the bone marrow. Therefore, I do need manpower.
You are indeed a very good person to work with.”
"When it comes to planning, one person can plan shortcomings, and two people can plan long-term plans."
“When it comes to action, one person can’t do it even if there are many others.”
"Therefore, I urgently need an independent team. Frank, this is my first formal invitation to you."
After saying that, Hong Fei stared at Frank seriously.
In fact, in his eyes, the green skill card embedded in the card slot was glowing with a green light that was dozens of times brighter than usual. It filled Hong Fei's vision, and even Frank was dyed green.
At the same time, Hong Fei felt that the energy in his body was being consumed rapidly.
"Can!"
As Frank nodded solemnly, the bright green light suddenly became introverted, leaving only light spots circulating around the card.
After removing the skill card from the card slot, most of the energy in Hong Fei's body was consumed. As expected, the skill card was the main channel of energy consumption.
"Very good!" Hong Fei stood up with bright eyes and extended his hand to Frank, "Welcome to officially join us!"
Frank also stood up and said, "I'm honored!"
The two big hands were clasped together quietly. Judging from the other's tone and eyes, Hong Fei knew that Frank had completely trusted what he had just said.
As for whether his words are true or false...
How about taking a look at the skill description again?
The addition of Frank solved a worry for Hongfei and made a good start.
He knows very well that if he wants to continuously improve himself, he must constantly take the initiative. Opportunities in the future are falling like raindrops, and what he has to do is to try his best to prevent the rainwater from falling to the ground and evaporating to waste.
A helper with excellent military qualities and strong decisiveness is very valuable, and he alone is enough to take charge.
More importantly, the Punisher's consistent style coincides with Hong Fei's ideas.
The world has never been short of "the Holy Mother".
What is lacking is someone who can crush the "Holy Mother" who stands in front of him without hesitation.
Frank met Hong Fei's needs very well.
After the two released their hands, Frank turned his eyes and suddenly said: "I am willing to join your team that does not yet exist, but I have one more request."
"you say."
"Let's fight again! Last time I admitted that I underestimated the enemy, but this time, I'm ready." As he said that, Frank clenched his fists, his eyes shone, and he was quite confident.
Hong Fei's idea is simple: Is there such a good thing?
