Black American Comics: Start with a Snap

Chapter 73 Super Skrull!

In the downtown area of ​​Hell's Kitchen, in a watch shop that looked a bit shabby from the outside, an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face was frowning and listening to something in silence.

Opposite him, the old lady from the flower shop was reporting the information just now. There was some blood on her collar, and it seemed that she was not completely uninjured.

"That's the situation. I've always suspected that someone was secretly watching Matt Murdock's office. Now I can conclude that that person is the last member of the Defenders - Jessica Jones."

The old man listened to the other party's words and did not respond immediately. Instead, he slowly raised his hand and took off his reading glasses.

Seeing that the old man opposite had no intention of speaking, the old woman continued.

"Our intelligence is relatively accurate. Now there are only two people left in the Defenders Alliance, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. One of them is an ordinary person, and the other is at the level of a super soldier. They are not to be feared at all."

"Not something to be afraid of?" The old man finally responded this time. He frowned and looked at the old woman, his face full of displeasure. "The Council gave you the power of the Super Skrulls so that you can complete the mission better, but you actually let them escape?"

"I admit that I made a mistake this time, but there's nothing I can do about it." The old woman lowered her head and replied tremblingly. "They reacted very quickly. By the time I was ready to take action, they had already run out onto the street."

"Humph!"

The old man snorted coldly and glared at the old woman fiercely. "Thank goodness you still remember the rules and know that we can't be exposed to the public right now."

The old woman's eyes were a little evasive, but she quickly thought of something and said, "Sir, I think the Chinese man's condition is more serious than Jessica Jones's. I'm sure he has drunk the Heartless Flower, but he..."

"I know who he is." Before the old woman could finish, the old man interrupted her. "Agent Kaeya, a student of Kalina, a senior executive of SHIELD, and a senior action agent promoted by her."

"Kalina?" Hearing this name, the old woman raised her head sharply. "I remember she was on the list, too."

The old man nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the counter, playing with an old pocket watch in his hand. "Kalina has been successfully replaced, and this Kaia is also on the replacement list."

"How could that be? The people recorded on the list are all high-ranking officials of various organizations, or members of some important agencies. This Kaia is just an ordinary action agent." The old woman frowned. She had also seen the list. As far as she could remember, this name did not appear on the list at all.

"Do you think an ordinary action agent can stop S.W.O.R.D. from collecting Vision's body? Do you think an ordinary agent can resist the Heartless Flower that even the Kree can't stand? Use your stupid brain."

The old man growled in annoyance, then he sighed softly, regained his previous calm, and continued.

"Kaia's inclusion on the list was a temporary decision made by the Council. His actions in Wakanda have proven his worth. At the same time, he also followed the Avengers to carry out the mission of killing Thanos in outer space. After the failure of replacing Claire, Kaia is our new candidate."

"No wonder, they transferred him to Hell's Kitchen at this time. It seems to make our actions easier to carry out." The old woman nodded seriously. At this time, she had already guessed the reason why the parliament did this.

Hell's Kitchen is now their base camp. Kalina sending Kaeya here is no different from sending him into a tiger's mouth, and they can also replace Kaeya more easily without anyone noticing.

"In addition, the report from the action team shows that our attempt to intercept and kill her at the bridge has failed. Claire has now entered Hell's Kitchen, but we have not yet determined her exact location. If we can replace Kaia, we may be able to lure her out."

Having said that, the old man looked at the old woman behind him with some anger.

"And you, idiot, not only caused our plan to go wrong, but also made Kaia alert in advance." "I" the old woman wanted to explain something, but she also knew that the old man in front of her hated to hear excuses for failure the most, so she opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end.

The old man shook his head with a gloomy expression. He rubbed the pocket watch in his hand lightly with his fingers. After a pause, he suddenly exerted force and crushed the exquisite vintage pocket watch into pieces.

The old woman standing behind the old man could also clearly notice the faint golden fluorescence flashing on the old man's fist. The constantly surging yet calm energy reaction was so dazzling that she subconsciously looked away.

After taking two steps back nervously, the old woman couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, what should I do next?"

"Change your appearance. I need you to locate Kaia as soon as possible. The Disaster Control Bureau will cooperate with your work. You must complete the replacement before they are ready. Once the Avengers know of our actions, all our efforts will be wasted."

"Don't we need to keep an eye on Murdoch's law firm?" the old woman asked again.

The old man shook his head slightly when he heard this. "The devil in Hell's Kitchen is not a fool. He has suffered at our hands before, but we have never found his body. He has not returned for such a long time, so he will not be able to return in the future."

"I understand." The old woman nodded slightly, and then said, "After I successfully replace Agent Kaia, what about Jessica Jones?"

"That's not your concern."

The old man answered indifferently, but after pondering for a while, he turned around, shook his head and sighed.

"Don't worry, you don't need to worry about Jessica Jones. She is just a crazy woman with a mental disorder. I have already reported her situation to the parliament. After you replace Kaia, there will naturally be professionals to deal with Jessica Jones."

As he spoke, the old man clapped his hands lightly, and as he did so, a middle-aged man walked in from the door.

The old woman looked at her compatriot who had walked in with surprise. She had not noticed the other person's existence at all until the other person showed up.

"Who is this?"

The old man did not say anything, but returned to the counter silently. The strange middle-aged man walked calmly to the old woman and showed a warm smile.

The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched slightly. As she got closer, she felt that her brain became a little dull, but she could keenly see that there was a faint purple light flashing in the man's eyes.

"Hello, fellow countryman."

The middle-aged man spoke and took the initiative to extend his hand.

"My current code name is - Purple Man."

　The flu is serious recently. A-choo! Everyone should pay more attention to their health.
