He was a young, thin-faced man. He had typical oriental features on his face, thick eyebrows, dry and white lips, and his face was as pale as a dead man. His eyes were closed and he was motionless, with only the rising and falling of his chest.
It can prove that he is still alive.
The man lay quietly in the rectangular sarcophagus, as if he was preparing for burial. The heavy coffin was covered with complex patterns and lines and some runes of unknown meaning.
"Successful." The speaker was Alexandra, one of the four remaining "fingers" of the Hand. Her tone was slightly excited, "This host is unprecedentedly perfect and is the most powerful one.
'Black Sky'. With him here, all enemies of the Hand will be swept away, no one is exempted."
At this time, the three leaders of the Hand, Alexandra, Murakami and Sowanda, were all gathered in this room, leaving only Botu missing.
"I don't dare to be so sure." Murakami, another leader of the Hand, reminded, "Remember, Mrs. Gao was defeated by that mysterious man. We still don't know anything about the strength of that mysterious man, let alone
Needless to say, the mysterious person behind him...that adult."
He might have originally wanted to call her by his first name, but when the words came to his lips, it seemed as if he was affected by a force majeure, and he closed his mouth by some strange mistake.
Nowadays, the underground world of New York is unified by the Kingpin, and the Kingpin family dominates the entire underworld. Influenced by his own boss, the legend of "that man" is now spread among the relatively powerful gangsters in New York, and that man cannot be mentioned.
The title of Lord is an unwritten rule, and legend has it that anyone who dares to mention that title casually will eventually disappear from the world.
Rumors may be exaggerated, and no one knows whether they are true or false, but most people would rather believe them than believe them, and no one would make fun of them with their own lives. Over time, "that gentleman"
It became a taboo that no one could touch.
The Hand is different from those Xiaoyu Xiaoxiami in the underworld, but they have really suffered great losses at the hands of "that adult". Even the old witch Mrs. Gao, who has lived for hundreds of years, is dead. This
They have to be careful when facing that force.
But Alexandra didn't care at all: "Before, we stood still because we were not ready yet, but now we are. I don't have to be afraid of anyone, even that pretentious Shafrin...
..”
"Be careful," Murakami interrupted, supporting his chin with his hands, "we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is eavesdropping on our conversation. That person's power is everywhere, and they have eyes and ears everywhere, even in this room.
Not completely safe.”
Well, he is really scaring himself by thinking too much. Murakami obviously doesn’t know that the “ubiquitous force” he talks about is actually only one person from top to bottom, and that person is currently busy filming
In the marketing of the movie, they had long forgotten about their hand-to-hand meeting...
"Saffron."
After being reminded by her companion, Alexandra not only did not change her words, but emphasized it again in a more serious tone.
"Since when do we, the Hand, have to look forward and backward like this? Now we have the strongest Black Sky, with enough power to sweep everything. No matter who stands in front of us, they will die!
I don’t care who that person is, but think about it, why doesn’t he allow others to mention that name? That’s because he is cowardly, because it makes him feel insecure. The only thing this can explain is that in fact, that guy is just an ordinary person.
He's just a human being, a guy who hides his head but doesn't even dare to show up in person, that's all."
The other two Hand leaders looked at each other in confusion. They felt that what Alexandra said was not completely unreasonable, but they felt that her estimate of the enemy's strength was a bit too optimistic.
However, they are indeed very confident in the power of Black Sky. Black Sky itself is just a host and a carrier. It is the carrier of a powerful demon called "Beast" that their Hand Guild believes in. It will use the host to exert far beyond
A power that is beyond human comprehension. Although the strength shown in MCU's American dramas is limited, in fact "Beast" is a powerful being that even the famous Marvel Ghost Rider has been defeated, a real demon.
"Although Mrs. Gao died, her will has survived." Alexandra said solemnly, "Her death is our most painful loss in these years, but we will not fall here. The Hand will always remember it.
For what she left us, we will avenge her and move forward together with her!"
After her words fell, they immediately aroused responses from the other two people. The three of them made a few remarks one after another, such as how Mrs. Gao had devoted her whole life to the organization and made huge contributions to the organization over the years. The tone of several people actually seemed to have a feeling of "if only she were alive."
She must be promoted as a leader."
If Mrs. Gao heard this under Jiuquan, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood. She thought that when she was alive, she did not see how respectful these guys were. Now that she died, they started to sigh. I'm afraid they will have to give it to her later.
She was given titles such as "Hand Thumb" as a mark of respect.
"Now, there is only one last question left." She paused and suddenly said to the darkness, "Really."
The red-clothed ninja walked out of the darkness, knelt down respectfully in front of the bosses, lowered his head and waited for orders.
"It will take some time before Black Sky is ready. Before that, I want you to follow up and investigate the Chinese named Richard Lee. I want you to report to me any abnormalities around him."
"yes."
The ninja nodded, then retreated into the darkness and disappeared.
...
Richard didn't know that he was being targeted by the Hand again. At this time, he was still working hard to be a successful businessman.
Recently, many manufacturers have indeed come to contact and expressed their willingness to launch various related peripherals of Spider-Woman. As the owner of the company that owns the copyright of Spider-Woman, Richard has had talks with these manufacturers and has also signed some cooperation
protocol.
Gwen, who was a party to the agreement, had read most of the terms of the agreement herself, and Richard had asked her for her consent before signing - although in most cases she just nodded. Anyway, as long as Richard said he thought it was okay
She signed it and she never objected.
Oh, except for that one time.
To be honest, when a manufacturer proposed to produce a pillow with the image of Spider-Woman, Richard was a little tempted. Firstly, because the offer offered by the other party was indeed very generous, and secondly, because he thought it was really exciting. Find a good one.
A painter who is a little more nerdy can draw a cute pattern on a pillow, and then set a high price that may seem unreasonable at first glance. It is guaranteed that countless nerds will rush to buy it, and the sales will be good and the cost will be low.
No matter how hard he tried to talk to Gwen, the little girl just refused to nod. Her stance on this issue was particularly firm, but it was not incomprehensible. Thinking of countless otakus sleeping with pillows in their own image every night and bleeding all over the place, Gewen
Wen felt a chill down his spine...
Helpless, in the end he had to settle for the next best thing and agreed to produce T-shirts with the image of Spider-Woman on them. Gwen nodded and agreed, because she wanted T-shirts, aren't they just for wearing? What could be wrong with that?
OK?
