The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 174 Foreplay
"This is a trap." The Punisher said in a cold voice without any ripple on his stern face.

He saw at a glance that this was a trick carefully planned by Jin Bing to lure the enemy into a trap.

The Punisher is well aware of Kingpin's cunning and cruelty, and this trap is bound to be full of danger.

He slowly squatted down and began to carefully check each gun.

His movements were skillful and focused, as if he were treating a precious work of art.

He gently pulled the bolt, feeling the mechanics of the gun, making sure every component was in top condition.

Then, he compacted each bullet one by one, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent space, as if it was the prelude to a battle.

The Punisher is concentrating on preparing for the next battle. He has only one belief in his heart, which is to destroy the enemy and safeguard justice.

"We have to go," Iron Fist Danny Rand stepped forward, "We have to send the dragon bones back to Kunlun."

Iron Fist knows the importance of dragon bones. He cannot watch the dragon bones fall into the hands of evil people and must take the responsibility of "Iron Fist".

The Punisher, however, is unconcerned with the feuds between Kunlun, the Shinchunkai, and the Hand.

In his eyes, only the gangsters are his enemies.

He only cares about how many gangsters he can eliminate in this battle and seek justice for those innocent victims.

His goal is simple and clear, which is to use his own strength and weapons to make evil get the punishment it deserves.

"That's right, only today will the five fingers of the Hand come together."

The old man with the stick's voice was steady and powerful.

His old face showed a firm determination.

The Stick Old Man was well aware of the power and evil of the Hand. These five guys, who had lived for hundreds of years, were scattered around the world, and it was usually difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Only when faced with such an important matter as the birth of the dragon bone will they put aside their respective interests and gather together.

This is a rare opportunity, and the old man with a stick does not want to miss the chance to wipe out the Shuhehui.

"Stop talking nonsense and beat them!" Jessica, who had a hot temper, bumped her fists together, making a dull sound.

Her eyes burned with anger, and she couldn't wait to join the battle.

"Let's defeat that fat guy Kingpin today!"

The other members of the Defenders also expressed their agreement.

No matter how dangerous the situation is, they will not retreat or be afraid, but will only face the enemy bravely and fight for justice.

"Let's do it tonight!" The Punisher's eyes flashed coldly, and his voice was as hard as steel.

New York's nightlife has just begun, and the bright lights are scattered like stars in every corner of the city.

Young men and women flocked into bars and clubs like a tide, dressed in fashionable clothes, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Amid the flashing lights and passionate music, they fully released their desires.

These people, unknowingly, became potential customers of Jinbing.

Kingpin is like a spider hiding in the darkness, weaving a huge web with drugs, violence and desire to tightly bind these young souls.

They lost themselves in the carnival and fell into the abyss of endless desire, not knowing that they were heading towards destruction step by step.

The carnival didn't end until two or three in the morning.

The doors of bars and clubs slowly opened, and drunken men and women emerged.

Their steps were unsteady, their eyes hazy, as if they were still immersed in the revelry just now. Some people were still not satisfied and continued to throw themselves into the next round of madness, looking for more excitement and pleasure.

Some people choose to go home and have fun. They don’t want to waste any time and just want to enjoy themselves in this short night.

"It's so depraved." Jessica looked at these people, her heart filled with helplessness and anger.

She once had a period of absurd days because her heart was deeply hurt.

She lost herself in pain and fell into the abyss of despair, but she eventually came out, found her own direction, and became a superhero, fighting to protect the innocent.

However, these people have voluntarily fallen into this depraved life.

Jessica could tell at a glance that many of these people were drug addicts.

In pursuit of that momentary pleasure, they are willing to sacrifice their health and future.

They were addicted to the world of drugs and could not extricate themselves, becoming victims of gangs.

"Damn it! All the money from drug purchases goes into the gangs' pockets. We're desperately trying to protect these addicts. If this continues, the whole country will be finished."

Jessica said indignantly.

Luke Cage walked over to Jessica, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Jessica, don't be so angry. As long as we defeat Kingpin and Madame Gao, no drugs will flow into New York. Our efforts will not be in vain, we will definitely make this city a better place."

Luke Cage's voice is deep and powerful.

Jessica listened to Luke Cage's words and nodded slightly.

She knew that what Luke Cage said made sense, but the anger and helplessness in her heart were still difficult to calm down.

She looked at the drunk young men and women, her heart filled with worry and heartache.

[They are still too naive.] The old man with the stick looked at this group of enthusiastic and naive young people and sighed inwardly.

He knew that these young people were full of justice and courage, but they knew too little about the complexity of the world.

Even without the Kingpin, there would be other gangs transporting drugs. As long as there is demand, there will be trade.

The old man with the stick knew in his heart that the drug problem was a complex social problem, and that simply defeating Kingpin and Mrs. Gao would not completely solve it.

This is also one of the reasons why SHIELD and the New York government allow Kingpin to exist.

There are endless gangs to be caught. As long as there is profit motivation, new gangs will emerge.

Ever since Kingpin became the underground emperor of New York and restrained the gangs, there have been fewer cases of street fights.

King used his powerful force and means to integrate and manage the New York gangs, which reduced conflicts between gangs and improved social security to a certain extent.

At the same time, Jin Bing also laundered money by setting up a formal company to legalize the illegal income.

This not only reduced the crime rate in New York, but also increased tax revenue for the government.

However, Kingpin's existence also brings many problems.

He is powerful, cruel, and has a huge influence on New York's politics and economy.

His presence also unnerved some, who fear he could become an uncontrollable threat.

The first to suffer a headache from Kingpin's downfall will be the New York Police Department and the New York government.

They need to face the chaos of the gangs and the deterioration of social order, while also dealing with the various problems left behind by Kingpin.
