Mindy, who was training in her room, was about to open the door after hearing Emma's voice when she heard what Emma said next.

The clever girl immediately realized that Emma might have been kidnapped.

"One auntie, two uncles..."

Mindy thoughtfully picked up the pistol beside him and then attached a silencer.

This is Queens, after all. Although it's considered a slum and has a bad reputation for safety, there are still some things to be found here.

In order to avoid attracting Cop, the pistol must be fitted with a silencer.

"I'm here," Mindy called out as she walked toward the door.

Mindy held the assembled silenced gun in her hand, looked through the peephole to check the situation outside, and confirmed that the enemy was there.

Mindy opened the door directly.

The woman and two men outside the door were beaming with joy at the prospect of becoming rich when they saw the door open.

But soon, their smiles faded.

The three men's smiles froze as they saw the pistol in Mindy's hand, and it was even a silenced one.

The three men, their pupils constricting violently, were about to draw their guns when Mindy had already emptied her hand of bullets.

One shot to the head, one shot to the heart; if she hadn't run out of bullets, she might have even fired two more shots into the chest.

After putting the gun away, Mindy asked, "What happened?"

"I met them on my way home. They were probably looking for us because of the bounty. They came to me, and then I brought them here," Emma explained briefly.

Mindy was pleased with Emma's quick thinking and praised her, "Well done! But don't tell Mark about this. It's probably just one of the fish that slipped through the net from Old Dog's gang. There's no need to make him worry about something so trivial."

Emma nodded in agreement. She also looked down on the three of them. She had originally planned to cause Mindy some trouble, but the three of them were so disappointing.

Moreover, she needed to maintain a pure and innocent image in Mark's eyes, so she certainly wouldn't tell Mark about her cunning.

Emma threw the dollars in her hand onto the woman's corpse, then skipped away and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

Mindy skillfully picked up the phone and contacted the cleaner.

After making the call, Mindy closed the door and continued training.

…………

The three returned home with different thoughts in their minds. Skye, looking downcast, typed away on the keyboard, clearly searching for information.

Jessica Jones casually watched TV with her legs propped up on the coffee table.

Mark pondered with some unease what conspiracy the person who killed Esther was plotting behind the scenes, and why there had been no movement for the past few days.

Emma, ​​carrying her little schoolbag and humming a tune, returned home, still maintaining her image as a pure and lovely good student.

As soon as Emma got home, she sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

After putting down her backpack, Emma sat down next to Mark and asked softly, "Mark, what's wrong? Everyone seems unhappy."

Mark knew who Emma was, so he didn't hide anything from her and explained directly, "Estelle is dead, probably because of a bounty on the dark web."

Upon hearing this, Emma suddenly realized what was going on, and then she remembered the three people from two days ago.

"No wonder three people came looking for us two days ago. Esther must have betrayed us," Emma said, feigning a fierce yet cute expression.

Mark, who had been looking worried, also changed his expression and asked in surprise, "You mean, two days ago, Mindy dealt with a group of people who came looking for us?"

Emma nodded, then unhesitatingly shifted the blame to Mindy.

"There were three people in total, two men and one woman. My sister Mindy said I didn't need to tell you such a small thing, so I didn't tell you."

mark:"……"

Mark was speechless; it turned out all his previous worries were unnecessary.

Skye stopped what she was doing and said, "I found the information on the family that adopted Esther. They are a couple who recently retired mercenaries."

"Those two bastards deliberately adopted Esther for the bounty, then took her home and murdered her."

Hearing this, Mark breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it seems to be just a coincidence. It's not that our identities have been discovered, nor that Apostdan Investment Company has come knocking on our door."

Emma feigned ignorance and comforted her, "Skye, don't blame yourself. Mindy has already avenged Esther."

"Yes, Emma is right, this really has nothing to do with you," Mark continued to persuade.

Skye's state is actually quite normal; it's a common problem among most Marvel superheroes—they like to take on responsibilities that aren't theirs.

Although Skye isn't some kind of saintly hypocrite in the story, her personality leans towards the liberal left, and Mark actually dislikes this aspect of her personality.

Therefore, Mark has been influencing the other party's personality through the villain's aura.

Unfortunately, this subconscious influence had only just begun, so its effect on Skye's personality correction was not very significant.

Jessica Jones, who had just taken a bite of an apple from the table, said casually, "Mark is right. Now that Esther has gotten her revenge, you should worry about your stocks instead of worrying about that."

Skye stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go back to my room and calm down first."

Mark didn't stop the other person, after all, this was something that only they could figure out themselves, and all they could do was offer advice.

Emma chimed in, "Then I'll go back to my room and do my homework too."

Emma astutely noticed that Mark didn't like Skye blaming herself there, and fearing that Mark would press her for details about what happened two days ago, she chose to slip away first.

Meanwhile, in a cave in the Middle East.

Tony Stark, who had just woken up, was met with the first beating of his life.

After being lectured, Tony Stark was thrown back into the cave. Ethan, seeing that Tony Stark was barely breathing, quickly checked on his condition.

"What's going on? The fever should have gone down by now," Ethan muttered in bewilderment.

Tony Stark felt like he was having a terrible dream. He dreamt that his daughter was smiling and introducing him to a blond-haired man, saying, "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Mark."

Then the blond guy pulled out a medical examination report, or more accurately, a pregnancy test report.

But the problem is, my daughter is only 16 years old!

Animals!

"I disagree!" Tony Stark roared angrily, his eyes snapping open.

The sudden roar startled Ethan, who was examining him.

Ethan quickly asked, "Tony, what's wrong?"

Tony Stark looked around in confusion, and when he saw the familiar cave, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Great, I was just having a nightmare.

The daughter did not go looking for Huang Mao.

wrong!

Thinking that he didn't even have a daughter, Tony Stark suddenly felt that his current situation wasn't so bad after all.
