In the Marvel Universe: I can summon items from all dimensions.

"..."

The woman with the bullseye eyes widened slightly.

She knew Baihu's strength better than anyone. Although he had killed her once, if it hadn't been a sneak attack, there was an 80% chance that she, as an ordinary person, would have been defeated or even killed. Yet this person had taken Baihu's blow without any damage and had even easily taken her down.

Combined with the terrified screams of the ninja on the ground before his death, it's not hard to conclude that the people below have probably all been wiped out.

As a renowned assassin in the industry, Bullseye Lady could see without even thinking that this was a pure difference in strength that could not be overcome by skill alone.

How could this happen? Why would someone like this suddenly appear to cause trouble?

Although she didn't show it on the surface, she was sweating profusely inside.

"...May I ask who you are?"

After a brief silence, Ms. Bullseye forced herself to speak, "If the Hand has offended you in any way, I will take the initiative to provide the maximum compensation."

On the hospital bed, Agent Carter's gaze briefly swept over Mason and Bullseye's faces.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the medical system within S.H.I.E.L.D. experienced some problems, which is why she temporarily came to Hyde Medical Center for care. Unexpectedly, a group of ninjas seized this opportunity, took the entire hospital hostage, and intended to use her, along with other patients and doctors, as hostages to demand that the US government release the former leader of the Hand.

Carter, a seasoned veteran, was not intimidated by the scene. She knew that once S.H.I.E.L.D. learned that she was being held hostage, they would definitely send elite agents like Natasha and Clint to rescue her. Even if that failed, she was not afraid of death. All she had to do was wait it out with these ninjas.

But a few minutes later, instead of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, a powerful woman who had never been seen or heard of before appeared.

The ability to withstand the blows of sharp weapons unscathed clearly indicates an extremely powerful superhuman. Could he be a mutant? Or perhaps a lucky individual who gained power through some special means, or even one of those hidden beings like magicians or cultivators in the shadows of the world?

As a high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D., Carter knew many secrets of this world, so she made a lot of deductions in an instant. But no matter how big her imagination was, she could never have imagined that the person standing here was actually a super biological weapon that came from another universe as a mercenary.

—Of course, who would have thought of that?

However, this person did not seem to show any hostility towards him, but rather towards the Hand ninja.

Does this mean I'm safe for now? Or... is it just the beginning of another danger?

"Hmph... compensation?"

Mason sneered, "Fine, I've heard of the Hand. If you want to compensate me, then bring out the demon you worship... is it called 'Beast' or something else? Show it to me."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Ms. Bullseye was stunned.

At this moment, the first emotion that arose in the mind of Ms. Bullseye, whose real name was Matsumoto Maki, was a very simple bewilderment.

Do you want me to summon the "beast"? Why?

Even if it were possible, what good would it do for this guy?

She wasn't like those low-level ninjas who were brainwashed from childhood to the point of having zero intelligence; she knew very well that "Beast" wasn't some omnipotent god, and the Hand couldn't rely on its power to reach the top of the world. But in any case, "Beast" was indeed a supernatural creature with great power and intelligence, and it did recognize the Hand's ninjas as its subordinates.

—Based on this, if I were to summon the "beast" and understand what had happened, the first thing it would do would definitely be to tear this inexplicable woman to pieces.

She could figure it out with her toes, so how could she not understand?

Why? What's the purpose?

For a moment, Ms. Bullseye was filled with questions, completely unable to discern what this woman was planning to do.

But what Mason was thinking was actually very simple.

This is a negotiation technique. It's like when you're haggling and you offer a price that makes the shopkeeper shake their head, but isn't too outrageous, and then you turn around and walk away. If the shopkeeper really wants to sell the product, they will definitely call you back.

In short, first set a condition that this guy definitely can't meet to see her psychological defenses, and then slowly negotiate the price—she's killed enough people, it's time to talk business. The Hand is a pretty rich organization, and as long as Ms. Bullseye wants to live, I can pry a considerable profit out of her in the remaining time I can control Baksim.

Consider it seed money.

As for the possibility that she might actually summon the "beast"... it's not impossible, but that would be exactly what Mason wanted.

It's worth noting that among the many supernatural beings in the Marvel Universe, demons are a very suitable source of experience.

Firstly, these creatures are all notorious villains. Even if you capture them all and shoot them all, there will still be some who escape. Because killing villains like Mephisto once is definitely not enough, killing them can be seen as saving the world, and you can stand on the moral high ground and point fingers with peace of mind.

Secondly, aside from the small fry used to fill in the gaps, the demons are quite strong. Even a relatively unknown creature like the "Beast" can play an important role in a major event. However, they are not too strong and cannot be compared with the real big guys. Therefore, they are very suitable as targets for project testing.

If the "beast" is indeed summoned here, he intends to use this opportunity to test Baksim's strength.

There are still two uses left on the fragments of the Book of Mercenaries. As long as I can get enough valuable treasures, I don't mind using them all to trade with Yapool. Anyway, as it stands, the power of Bakshim alone is enough for me to protect myself in some not-so-serious crises. In order to further confirm what the Super Beast can do in the Marvel Universe, a suitable target is necessary.

And "beast" is just right.

Furthermore, Bakshim still has more than twenty minutes left to use. It would be a waste to just take down a few ninjas within the mortal range. Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste of the luck of drawing the Book of Mercenaries if we didn't make a big splash?

"What's wrong? Can't you do it?"

With a thought racing through his mind, Mason took a step forward without making a sound and said coldly, "Then die."

"!!!"

A sudden chill ran down her spine, causing Bullseye to instinctively do a backflip, leaping over Carter's bed and landing by the window, looking like she was about to escape.

Carter also felt the oppressive aura emanating from the slender female body at the doorway—it's no exaggeration to say that if this had happened decades ago, when she was still a young woman, she probably would have been so frightened that she would have fainted on the spot.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to sense it. Only someone like her, who has honed her keen intuition through numerous crises, or simply possesses extraordinary sensory abilities, could discern the terror hidden beneath that seemingly frail body—it's not human, this thing is definitely not human! It must be some kind of alien being fundamentally linked to concepts like combat or killing!

Carter, who appeared calm on the surface, suddenly became extremely tense.

If she were sitting in the S.H.I.E.L.D. command center, she would have ordered her subordinates to begin evacuating the crowd the moment she had this feeling. But now she could do nothing but watch the conflict end quietly and pray that a large-scale incident that couldn't be controlled would occur.

"I don't remember giving you permission to move."

Mason glanced at Carter, then gave Bullseye a cold smile: "Do I have to break a limb or two to teach people like you what manners are?"
