Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 56 Tit for tat
Seeing that Ms. Kalina's words did not sound like a joke, Su Ze's expression became relatively serious.

Although he had never experienced the chaos of Hell's Kitchen personally, his memories from his previous life gave him a certain understanding of this place.

In this place occupied by various gangs and large organizations, it is a mixed bag and darkness is rampant. Not only do the five fingers of the Hand and the Society secretly control various criminal organizations, but there is even the underground king, Jin Bing, who sits here.

Hundreds of years of development and changes have made their power deeply rooted here. Under such circumstances, even the military at that time could not wipe out this group of people, not to mention the incomplete SHIELD now.

Moreover, Su Ze didn't believe that SHIELD was unaware of the existence of Daredevil. The other party had only gradually emerged after the Battle of New York. At that time, SHIELD was still in its heyday. Even though it was infiltrated by Hydra, on the surface it still seemed to be working together.

In that situation, Daredevil's identity as a vigilante was not dealt with by SHIELD, so why did Ms. Kalina suddenly want to settle the matter for herself at this moment?

You know, the name Daredevil has been regarded as a belief by the civilians in Hell's Kitchen. His reputation is so high that even Kingpin doesn't dare to attack him openly.

"What's wrong? Do you have any difficulties with this mission?" Noticing that Su Ze's expression was a little gloomy, Ms. Kalina looked up and asked.

"No." Su Ze shook his head slightly and said, "I'm just a little curious. Based on what this vigilante has done, he doesn't seem like someone who can start a war. Is it possible that there is some misunderstanding?"

Hearing this, Ms. Kalina stared at Suze's face calmly for a while, then slowly smiled and spoke softly.

"I forgot that you've been active in New York before and are relatively familiar with the situation there. However, the current problems in Hell's Kitchen are very different from what you know. That place is very important and we need to take it down as soon as possible."

"Should we take over Hell's Kitchen, or those vigilantes?" Su Ze asked.

"it's the same."

Ms. Kalina smiled and answered without any hesitation.

"There is evidence that the emergence of the Shuttering Crisis has greatly stimulated the guys in Hell's Kitchen. That area is a goose that lays golden eggs for some people. We must control it before those people take action."

For no reason, when looking at Ms. Kalina's smile, Su Ze could always feel an indescribable chill from her.

But even so, Su Ze still pretended to be calm and spoke.

"But what does this have to do with those vigilantes? Judging from the mission report, these people are just a group of guys who mask their faces and imitate the Avengers. Their goals should be the same as ours."

"During the half month you were in Wakanda, we lost six operational agents in Hell's Kitchen. According to the autopsy report, those victims were all killed by extraordinary people. There is also a video footage of this vigilante beating our agents."

Ms. Kalina casually picked up the tablet on her left hand and tapped it a few times with her fingers, and a relatively dim video was brought up.

After clicking play, Ms. Kalina placed the tablet in front of Suze.

"Take a good look. This is the vigilante you mentioned who has the same goal as us."

Su Ze frowned at first, then he took a step forward and focused his attention on the video playing on the tablet screen.

The video should be shot by a probe carried by the agent, which can be filmed at close range and allow the viewer to experience it from the perspective of the agent himself.

It started out as a very ordinary walk. The agent walked in a dark and cold alley. The moonlight shone on the puddles on the roadside, reflecting a bright white light. The breeze blew the newspapers on the ground, giving people a feeling of depression.

The agent tightened his clothes and continued to walk forward with his head down. At this moment, a sound of metal friction came from behind him. The sound was extremely harsh and was particularly obvious in this silent environment.

The agent couldn't help but shiver and looked back suddenly, but in the field of view of the camera, there was nothing behind him except the broken patio and fire escape.

After looking around nervously for a while and making sure that there was really nothing following him, the agent slowly turned around and prepared to move forward.

But just as he turned around, he was surprised to find that a masked man in a scarlet battle suit was standing in front of him. The agent had no idea when the other party appeared, and he didn't know why the other party was so close to him without him noticing.

Before he could make any move, the man opposite him attacked.

With just one move, the agent was knocked unconscious, and the video ended abruptly.

"Where is this agent?" Su Ze put down the tablet and asked.

"died."

Ms. Kalina replied in a calm voice.

She paused again, looked directly at Su Ze and continued, "The cause of death was a broken neck, and all over his body he had suffered various injuries. We finally found him in a trash can 20 meters away from the scene of the incident."

Hearing this, Su Ze fell silent. Based on his understanding of Daredevil, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill someone. Just like Batman, not killing is the code of conduct for vigilantes like them.

Because for them, as vigilantes, they can fight violence with violence and resist evil from the standpoint of the little people, but what they do has also become a kind of folk belief and pursuit.

If they start killing people, all kinds of imitators will appear. Once all the "vigilantes" use killing to solve problems, the whole city will become a battlefield within three months.

Daredevil once had a debate with the Punisher about whether to kill.

Although the result is that no one can convince anyone else, it also proves that no matter what happens, Daredevil's principle of not killing will not be broken. This is his bottom line.

But looking at Ms. Kalina opposite him, Su Ze knew that he couldn't refute now.

"I know what to do."

"That's good." Ms. Kalina's smile grew wider.

With a slight sigh, Su Ze changed the subject without leaving a trace. "By the way, I have some sample materials to give to Adjutant Claire. She needs to check them before they are put into storage."

"Is it about Thanos' sample?" Upon hearing this, Ms. Kalina immediately stood up from her seat. "Leave it to me. It doesn't matter who does the verification."

"No trouble."

Su Ze calmly took a half step back, used his body to block the crucible barrel on the floor behind him, and then answered with a smile.

"It's okay if you don't check it. I just asked casually. The research lab has been urging me to hand over the samples as soon as possible. I have a mission to go on anyway, so this is just a side job."

"Really? That's fine too."

When Ms. Kalina heard this, she sat back down in silence.

"You can go now. Go to the combat readiness room to collect the duty vehicles. I have already asked for the approval slip."

Then she picked up the pen on the table, put her glasses back on, lowered her head and continued working, no longer paying attention to Su Ze.

After taking a deep look at Ms. Kalina, Su Ze's eyes moved slightly. Then he picked up the crucible bucket beside him, turned around and walked out of the office.
