Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 197 Kingpin's Flattery (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

In the living room on the second floor of Luke's Bar, Punisher Frank was already fully armed.

He had an expression that said he was ready to fight his way out.

As for Luke, he held Frank back tightly. The outside was full of gangsters, and the streets were almost completely filled with them.

Even someone as strong as Luke felt he wouldn't survive if he went outside.

Frank is the same.

Frank didn't care about any of that. Stubborn as he was, he knew he couldn't escape, so he simply went on a killing spree, thinking that one for one before he died wouldn't be a loss.

One exchange for N is a huge profit.

It would be best to take all those leaders with us, so Frank can rest in peace.

However, unexpectedly, Kingpin suddenly arrived at this moment and, together with the other gangsters from Hell's Kitchen, surrounded the Irish gang.

Frank was astonished.

What's going on? Are these people pulling strings?

This is a great opportunity.

So Frank and Luke exchanged a glance, pressed their ears against the windowsill, and began to listen.

Then the more I listened, the more something seemed off.

Judging from the conversation between Finn and Kingpin, Finn came for revenge, and it seems that Kingpin and the other leaders were warned by someone.

Then, terrified of those people, Kingpin and the other leaders rushed to stop Finn.

After thinking it over, Frank and Luke almost immediately thought of someone.

"Your friend?"

"Yeah, I think it's probably only her." Luke shrugged, giving me a knowing look.

How long has he known Jessica?

Jessica said she would handle it, but I didn't expect it to be handled this way.

It seems Jessica has really joined some incredible organization.

Even someone like Kingpin was afraid of it.

Then, with a deafening roar, Jessica made a stunning entrance, descending from the sky and landing amidst a group of gang leaders.

Although he was on the second floor, Luke still managed to see Jessica's face clearly, and a look of joy and emotion appeared on his dark face.

Then came the doubt.

Jessica can fly?

Did he mishear? Was that a sonic boom?

Then, looking at Jessica's clothes, he suddenly gasped and his eyes widened. He recognized Jessica's outfit.

"Oh my god~~"

"You didn't say which people your friends were," Frank recognized him too, and he couldn't help but whisper to Luke.

It seems I don't have to die.

Luke made a funny face.

I don't know either.

Below, Jessica felt the burning gaze of a pervert. She looked up and noticed Luke and Frank staring in disbelief from the second-floor window of Luke's Bar. She then waved happily.

Her movement nearly scared everyone present to death.

Finn, in particular, the ruthless mob boss, trembled violently.

"Madam, I'm so sorry, it was my fault."

Kingpin was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that a big shot had actually come tonight, but thankfully it was him who had arrived. He was delighted because it seemed he could now pledge his loyalty.

So he quickly stepped forward, adopting a humble demeanor.

"It's okay, you did a great job."

Jessica doesn't like Kingpin very much.

After all, as a local who had lived in Hell's Kitchen for a short time, she had heard the rumors about Kingpin.

But seeing that the other party's attitude was quite sincere, I didn't respond too coldly and just gave a casual reply.

Finally, their gaze fell on Finn, whose body was shaking uncontrollably.

It was like looking at a dead person, and I started walking towards it.

He walked up to Finn, a distance of less than two meters, and every step felt like it was pounding on Finn's heart, making it hard for Finn to breathe.

"Get out of the way, move aside."

Jessica has long lost her former naivety, now bearing the mark of a raven warrior's ferocity and majesty.

The difference in life levels is something Finn, a mere mortal, cannot overcome.

Upon hearing Jessica's words, Finn's mind went blank.

He instinctively obeyed, then subconsciously stepped aside. Not only him, but also his nephew Peter and the other gang leaders behind him did the same.

After clearing the way, Jessica walked straight toward Luke's Bar and pushed open the bar door.

The figure slowly disappeared into the dark bar.

Jessica completely ignored the Irishman.

Finn's heart, which had almost stopped beating, came back to life. Was this... that they were letting him go?

Just as Finn was about to burst into tears of joy, a thick arm wrapped around his neck. Finn's scalp tingled, and when he looked up, he saw Kingpin, who was nearly two meters tall, burly and fat.

They were looking down and staring at me with "kind" eyes.

"Finn, we need to talk."

Finn glanced desperately out of the corner of his eye and saw that the Hand and other gang leaders' men had already pointed their guns at his own men.

He knew that the Irish were finished, and so was he.

Because of myself.

"Kill them."

With Erica's command, the killing began.

Jessica, who had entered the bar, paid no attention to the sounds of fighting outside.

The girl is mature enough to match her strength and status, and she has a clear understanding of her own position, as well as that of Raven, Astartes, and the BOSS.

Once you understand the general trend, many things will fall into place naturally, and you won't even need to worry about them too much.

The Irish are gone, gone.

They're just a bunch of wicked people who do all sorts of evil.

They deserved to die.

It saves me the trouble of doing it myself.

To be fair, the Punisher truly lives up to his reputation as a notorious killer; even in such dire circumstances, he doesn't give up hope of survival.

Instead, they set up all sorts of traps inside the bar.

They transformed everything available in the bar into a weapon of murder.

If those Irishmen barged in, I'm afraid a large number of them would die in the first encounter.

Fortunately, Jessica's exceptional physical abilities, senses, perception, and awakened Observation Haki allowed her to dodge these deadly traps in the darkness.

We arrived at the second floor.

They met Luke and the Punisher, Frank.

"Hey, big guy, long time no see, and the Punisher too, nice to see you."

Jessica is still that enthusiastic girl.

"Jessica, you..." Luke's feelings were much more complicated.

He had feelings for Jessica, but he didn't expect that there was such a big difference in their social status.

It is backed by a mysterious and unknown mountain.

The resources they could mobilize were so vast that even Kingpin and his gang leaders were terrified.

It also possesses combat power far exceeding its own.

Now Jessica has transformed into a goddess, while I'm still stuck at the bottom of Hell's Kitchen.

How could Luke not be complicated?

Jessica didn't think that much about it, or rather, Luke kept some of his thoughts very hidden.

She didn't notice that this big, black man had inexplicable feelings for her.

In fact, even if they knew, they wouldn't care.

After all, the two had only met a few times, and Jessica at most considered Luke a friend. Could they possibly develop a romantic relationship?

Sorry, that's unlikely.

She's met far too many outstanding men.

"Punisher, my leader asked me to give you a message," Jessica said earnestly, looking at Punisher Frank.
