"Daredevil" was Richard's favorite comic-book adaptation of the American TV series in the past. He watched each of the three seasons of the American TV series at least three times. Therefore, he may not remember other characters clearly, but they appeared in "Daredevil"
The role left a deep impression on him.
Take this Yoshioka letter for example.
This ninja has a high status in the Hand. He appeared in the first season of "Daredevil" and has powerful boss-level combat power in the show. The famous Daredevil is no match for this ninja, and they fought for several rounds.
He didn't even touch a hair on the other person's body, but instead he was covered in stains. In the end, if Daredevil hadn't crossed his bottom line of not killing people and used the lighting in the room to play some dirty trick and burn Xin to death, he would have fought openly and honestly.
The one who dies will definitely be Daredevil.
So as a character who had a lot of roles and even almost killed the protagonist, it was actually nothing strange for Richard to remember him. But in Nobu Yoshioka's view, that was not the case.
In the TV series, Nobu Yoshioka is the person in charge of the Hand's negotiations with the New York gang and manages some of the Hand's affairs in New York. But now he has not held so many positions. The current Nobu is just a number of Hand members stationed in New York.
One of the generals, it stands to reason that only people within the organization should know his name.
Who is this guy in the black trench coat? How does he know his name?
Xin's forehead began to sweat, and all kinds of terrifying conjectures popped up in his mind. In his mind, he began to imagine Richard as various big shots with huge backgrounds. He felt that since the other party recognized him, he must also know about the hand combination.
There will be more secrets and they will be a greater threat than people like the police and gangsters.
Such a guy cannot be let go no matter what.
With such an idea coming to his mind, Xin tried his best to get up. With a cold look in his eyes, he showed another dagger. He once again mobilized the "qi" in his body, and the light of the knife danced in front of him like a flower. He sprinted and flew towards him again.
Come forward.
However, Xin had just been seriously injured by the backlash, and the strength and speed of his attacks were much lower than before. Richard looked at the gorgeous sword light coming toward his face, and did not dodge at all. He only held the captured flying knife and shot straight
One stab.
The silver blade went straight into the palace, as if slicing through the knife network, accurately and perfectly bypassing the trajectory of Xin's swing, and stabbed into his heart with a pop.
Yoshioka Nobuoka stared, groaned miserably, covered his heart that was pierced by a flying knife, stumbled back several steps, and fell on his back.
The heart was pierced by a sharp blade. Even if this ninja was ten times more awesome, he would still be hiccupping. But Richard knew clearly that this was not over yet. The guys from the Hand had a secret recipe for extending life, as long as the bones were still dead.
Tohru's guys can be brought back from the dead. In other words, if he wants to solve this problem once and for all, he has to smash the opponent's corpse into dregs, leaving them with nothing to resurrect.
However, this step also has to wait a little longer.
Richard stopped and without looking back, he said as if talking to himself: "Are you going to squat there all night, or do you want me to get you out of there?"
The darkness was quiet for a few seconds, and then a figure slowly walked out from the shadows in a corner.
She was an old lady with a stooped waist, holding a black wooden crutch in her hand, and her two small eyes were almost narrowed to a slit. She looked very much like the cruel evil mother-in-law in fairy tales.
Richard turned his head and glanced at her, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Mrs. Gao, one of the "Five Fingers" of the Hand, is a traitor who defected from the secret realm of Kunlun. This old woman has lived for more than four hundred years, and her attainments in Qi refining are indeed quite high. At least according to the performance of the American TV series.
She is the kind of master who has practiced to the point where she can knock cars flying through the air with one palm. Daredevil was even defeated by one of her moves, and he was no match for her.
The old immortal walked out slowly on crutches, seemingly not caring at all that her right-hand man had just been stabbed through the heart. She walked tremblingly to the bright area. If Richard hadn't known the details, he wouldn't have been able to tell her.
I was really deceived by her senile appearance.
Mrs. Gao stopped and looked Richard up and down.
"Looking at you, you don't look like someone from SHIELD or any other government agency." She said slowly, "So, you are the man known as 'Shafrin'...
...Or his men?"
Richard froze instantly.
What the hell? Why does this involve Shafrin again?
I don’t know how Mrs. Gao interpreted his reaction. The old lady nodded as if she understood: "So, you should be his subordinate. Don't look so surprised, I
I know that your lord does not like to appear in public, but our Hand Association also has its own news channels. I have also heard of that lord's name..."
The more the old lady talked about it, the more confused she became on Richard's face. After talking about it, the old lady actually sounded a little proud of how well-informed the Hand was, as if she had heard of the name "Safrin" itself.
It means they are well-informed.
Richard was speechless.
Before it was the Kingpin, and now it's the Hand. What happened to each of these people?
He had "heard about it", so that was really weird. Richard had just mentioned the name "Shafrin" to Kingpin on a whim a few weeks ago, and he hadn't even thought about the background setting of the character.
Okay, how come this has already spread like wildfire?
From Mrs. Gao's point of view, a guy who knew so much about the Hand and was a talented person couldn't possibly be a passerby who suddenly jumped out on the roadside. And then the guy in front of him behaved like this.
His style didn't look like a government agent, so as far as she knew, the only organization in New York that met this condition was the rumored and mysterious "Shafrin" force.
Although she was quite confident in the strength of her Hand, but according to the only information they collected, that "Shafrin" seemed not to take their Hand seriously at all. They certainly didn't pay attention to such rumors.
They will fully believe this, but they cannot completely ignore it.
At least their Hand's understanding of the organization was limited to the name "Shafrin", but the other party seemed to know a lot about their Hand. First of all, they were at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, so in
They believe that the other party should at least be an organization of comparable size and power to their own.
The old lady felt that her guess was quite reliable, and she was almost 80% sure that the black trench coat in front of her was the person from "Safulin".
Sometimes people just like to be smart, thinking that their reasoning is seamless and logical, but little do they know that in the eyes of those who know her, she is just like a blundering idiot...
