Chapter 42 Uneasy Night

When Leo first heard Kingpin's name from a gangster in Minnesota, he didn't know whether it was Kingpin from Daredevil or Spider-Man.

When Leo saw Mary Jane during the day, he thought Kingpin was Kingpin from Spider-Man.

But tonight, reality slapped him hard in the face. Daredevil suddenly appeared and had a boring fight with Leo and the others. So, this Kingpin is the Kingpin in the Daredevil movie?!

Now Leo has almost given up using his experience of watching movies in his previous life to guess the real universe.

This should be a universe mixed with various Marvel elements. Leo can only pray that mutants from Marvel don't appear randomly in this universe.

In that case, this universe would be really too dangerous!

When Leo finished saying that he knew who Kingpin was, Old Tom, who was seeking death, could no longer control his words. He said:

"Do you know who Kingpin is? You're not bragging, right?! Tell me and let me know if you really know."

Leo grinned at Old Tom and said:

"Old Tom, you really can't shut your mouth! I seriously doubt whether you can keep all the secrets today from spreading. How about I help you shut up?"

Leo was talking and laughing as if he were joking, but Old Tom couldn't help but tremble in his heart and feel cold all over.

The man's sixth sense told Old Tom that Leo was definitely not joking. Now Old Tom was completely honest and really shut his mouth.

After Old Tom shut his mouth, only Leo and Bucky were left talking. Moreover, Leo and Bucky deliberately walked faster.

Although Old Tom's feet hurt, he did not dare to say anything anymore. He limped after the two of them with a sad face and endured the pain.



Although Leo didn't want to see Old Tom talking nonsense, he still had to take care of Old Tom's strength in the end. So, thirty minutes later, the three of them walked to the door of the Harvest Hotel.

Hell's Kitchen is not a peaceful place. It was getting very late at this time, and the hotel owner had already closed the door. If the three of them wanted to go in, they could only knock on the door and ask the owner to open the door.

But when Leo took a step forward and was about to knock on the door, he suddenly stopped. Bucky keenly noticed Leo's abnormality and asked:

"Leo, what's wrong?"

Leo pointed to the parking space on the right side of the hotel and said:

"Take a closer look. Has our car been tampered with?"

Bucky looked at it carefully and said uncertainly:

"It seems...the wheels moved forward about 20 centimeters."

"Let's go and have a look!"

When Leo and the other three walked to the car, they knew something was wrong. Because the four doors and trunk of the car had obvious signs of being pried.

Leo quickly opened the trunk and took a look. He found that the lightweight power arm VI, guns and ammunition, a box of gold and silver jewelry stolen from Minnesota, and the things Leo had brought from Base 033 were all missing.

Fly away!

Other things such as guns and ammunition, gold and silver treasures, etc. are not important. If you lose them, just lose them. It doesn't matter to Leo.

But among the things thrown away was a hard drive. That was all the information that Leo secretly copied from Dr. Zola's database in Base 033.

When Leo left Base 033, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take a look at what was on the hard drive.

But the hard drive contains Dr. Zola's lifelong research results and secrets, which are priceless to Leo.

At this time, Leo was really anxious, and at the same time he regretted very much that he did not follow Bucky's suggestion and put everything in the hotel room in the evening.

Old Tom was behind him, hesitating to speak. Leo noticed Old Tom's expression and said:

"Old Tom, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly! I'm in a bad mood right now, so you'd better not talk nonsense."

"Mr. Li, your car has an out-of-town license plate. In the eyes of the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, this is a sign of a 'no trouble sheep'. I'm afraid the person who stole your stuff is a local from Hell's Kitchen."

"Why do you need to talk nonsense?! Just ask, is there any way to get the lost things back?"

"This...it depends on the situation. This is Chinatown, at the junction of four gang areas. If you want to get something back, you must first determine which gang stole it."

Bucky saw that Leo's face was so gloomy, and he was afraid that Leo would not be able to resist and slap Old Tom to death, so he interrupted:

"Old Tom, don't talk nonsense. Just tell me the names of the four gangs and how to find them. If you keep talking nonsense, I'm not sure you can still live."

Old Tom was so frightened by Bucky that he trembled and said:

"You already know two of the four gangs, the Black Bear Gang and the Poisonous Wolf Gang. Their bases are respectively the Innocence Bar on the east side and the Dire Bar across from Innocence Bar.

There are two other gangs, one is called the Wheel Gang, and its home base is an auto repair shop eight blocks to the south. The other gang is called the Black Fist Gang, and its home base is in an underground boxing ring ten blocks to the north.

That's all I know, I told it all, no nonsense!"

"Your last sentence is nonsense!"

Leo, who was in a bad mood, yelled at Old Tom, which frightened Old Tom so much that he couldn't help but take a few big steps back.

Bucky felt that four gangs were not too many, so he came up with an idea:

"Without further ado, Leo, how about we split up and find these four gangs one by one?"

Leo felt that although Bucky's method was troublesome, it was the most effective method and was about to agree.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered that when he was leaving the hotel in the evening, he saw a surveillance camera mounted on the side of the signboard of Fengshou Hotel.

Sure enough, Leo turned around and saw the camera. It was shining with a faint red light, obviously working normally.

Leo's face lit up with joy, he pointed at the camera and said to Bucky:

"I think we don't have to go to such trouble. Look at that camera. We chose to stay at the Fengshou Hotel. Sure enough, we were right. This hotel owner is quite reliable!"

Bucky saw the camera and smiled, relieved.



Dong dong dong...

The knock on the door was heard far away in the empty street. A few minutes later, footsteps were heard in the Harvest Hotel. Then, Leo heard the slightly familiar voice of the hotel owner:

"Who is it? My hotel is closed after 8pm. If you want to stay, look for other places. Also, I suggest you go further away before looking for a place to stay."

At the same time that the boss's voice came from the hotel, Leo actually heard the sound of a gun being pulled inside the house.

Bucky and Leo's expressions changed, and they pulled Old Tom back to one side of the door. Leo shouted loudly:

"Boss, we are the guests who checked in at your hotel this evening. When we went out, we asked you for suggestions on where to eat. You suggested the steak at the Peace Hotel, do you remember?"
