Chapter 194 Luke Cage's Admiration and Jessica Jones (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On an old living room sofa, Frank slowly opened his eyes, but the instant he opened them, he became suddenly alert and instinctively reached for his gun.

But it turned out to be empty.

"You're awake?"

Just as Frank was about to get up, a deep voice came from beside him.

Then a strong-looking black man wearing a black T-shirt and jeans walked over.

The other person was holding a glass of water.

Frank stared coldly at the other man: "Luke Cage, I've heard of you."

"I've heard of you too, the infamous Punisher. You've caused quite a stir these past few days."

Luke Cage ignored Frank's wariness, handed him a water glass, and sat down opposite him, appearing completely unsuspecting.

Frank took it, slowly sat up, and glanced down at the bandages wrapped around his body.

Having been through countless battles, he could sense that the bullets that had been left inside his body had been removed.

It was obviously done by the other party.

Luke saved himself.

"Thank you, I have to go now." After a moment of silence, he finished his water glass in one gulp, grabbed his Punisher suit from the sofa, and prepared to put it on and leave.

But Luke spoke again.

"You've caused quite a stir; leaving now wouldn't be a smart move."

Frank paused in his dressing, but continued. Once he was dressed in a suit with several gun barrels and skulls painted on it, he saw Luke holding a phone in front of him.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

The phone showed news about the Irish mafia's underground club that committed massacres.

"NYPD, the Irish are all looking for you like crazy."

Luke said in a low voice.

He disliked killing, so he didn't particularly like the Punisher's style, but he had to admire the Punisher's willpower and fighting ability.

Luke could tell that the Punisher was just an ordinary person.

Due to an accident, Luke awakened his abilities, gaining superhuman strength, speed, and invulnerability.

But the Punisher had nothing but weapons.

To single-handedly and continuously confront the Hell's Kitchen gang requires courage, boldness, and the ability to execute—qualities that few possess.

So when Luke unexpectedly found Frank unconscious and saw his distinctive attire, he brought him back.

"I know, I'm looking for them too."

Frank was not afraid, because his heart had long since died, so he felt no fear.

His heart was filled with nothing but revenge.

It is a killing machine driven by revenge, killing all the most heinous sinners.

"You're being hunted down everywhere. Besides the Irish, other gangs are also looking for you. They've put a bounty on your head, and you're seriously injured. Going out would be suicide." Luke couldn't bear to see the Punisher die like this.

Frank listened to Luke's words and nodded silently.

His fearlessness doesn't mean he enjoys throwing his life away.

Unless it's a certain death situation, he'd be willing to take a group of people down with him, but if he can avoid death, Frank would rather live.

As long as he lives, he can send even more damned people to hell.

only...

"They'll find this place sooner or later based on my trail, and I'll drag you down with me." Frank frowned.

"Perhaps I can ask someone for help."

Luke thought of someone and said somewhat uncertainly.

"Who?"

"A girl."

Luke thought of the girl he had met before. She also possessed superhuman strength. That night, he witnessed her stopping some thugs from robbing a mother and daughter.

Luke helped, and the two met a few more times afterward.

He was even helped by a gang when he broke into one.

So the two exchanged contact information.

Luke retrieved his phone and made a call.

After a while, the call was finally answered, and a lively voice came through.

"Hey, big guy, what brings you to me all of a sudden?"

Jessica.

Upon hearing this voice, Luke, a man who was usually taciturn, smiled.

Yes, it is Jessica Jones.

Luke has a strong liking for Jessica.

But Luke seemed to hear Jessica panting?

This gave Luke a sudden, very bad feeling, and his expression immediately became somewhat complicated. Frank, who had been watching Luke from the sofa, looked puzzled.

Is there something wrong?

Although Frank doesn't care about many things, he's starting to get a little interested now.

Frank decided to watch the show.

So they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Uh, what are you doing, Jessica? Haven't you come back yet?" The big, honest-looking man didn't know how to ask, and was a little tongue-tied.

Actually, Luke had called Jessica a few days earlier that night in Manhattan.

Jessica said she left New York to join a very powerful organization, but she didn't specify what it was.

This left Luke somewhat disappointed at the time.

"I'm training, big guy. You'll be really surprised by how much I've changed when we meet again, haha." Jessica hadn't experienced any more misery; she was just a carefree, slightly temperamental girl.

Naturally, she didn't realize that Luke, this big guy she'd only met a few times, had actually developed feelings for her.

"I look forward to seeing you again, Jessica, but this time I'm here to ask for your help."

"Hmm? What's wrong with you?"

"Have you heard of the Punisher?" Luke became serious when it came to business.

"Of course, Hell's Kitchen Grim Reaper, the elusive superstar."

Jessica had indeed heard of it.

She knew about this person when she debuted in Hell's Kitchen. He specializes in causing trouble for gangs. Compared to the Punisher's dozens of kills in a row, hers is just small fry.

"What's wrong with him?"

Luke told Jessica everything about the commotion the Punisher had caused, how he had saved the Punisher, and how the Punisher was now in some trouble with him.

Luke is not a pretentious person.

If possible, he will handle most things on his own.

However, the Punisher incident had become quite a big deal, and he happened to be there. He took a moment of weakness and saved the Punisher, which led to him getting caught up in the mess himself.

Luke wasn't afraid of being implicated, after all, he was quite confident in his abilities.

A gang of guns and weapons posed no threat to him.

But Luke was worried that his neighbors and friends would be implicated.

That's why I asked Jessica for help.

Of course, there was also a small personal motive hidden behind this, hoping to deepen the connection with Jessica through this incident.

Jessica didn't understand Luke's ulterior motives; she was very straightforward.

Jessica considered Luke a friend; otherwise, they wouldn't have exchanged phone numbers. He's just a small Hell's Kitchen gang, nothing to Jessica these days.

"It's a minor issue. Wait for my message, I'll call you back in about ten minutes."
