The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

and……

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Therefore, he felt that the most important thing for the Hand family was to be together.

As for Daniel Whitehall's telegram, it was, of course, left by him.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. manages to raid Bottom Manor but finds nothing, they will likely become suspicious about whether the Hand has any connection with Hydra.

Therefore, their efforts to combat the Hand will be greatly reduced.

This won't do.

White Night wouldn't let go of these useful tools from S.H.I.E.L.D.

So they left a telegram.

Further solidify the connection between the Hand and Hydra.

This allowed the war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hand to continue to escalate and spread.

Bai Ye didn't expect any gratitude from S.H.I.E.L.D.; he helped them uncover their hidden nemesis.

After all, doing good deeds anonymously is his consistent style.

[Daniel Whitehall: So I should thank you, right?]

[Bai Ye: What the hell are you being so polite with me?!]

"Let S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hand fight like dogs, getting all worked up!" Bai Ye thought to himself. "Once S.H.I.E.L.D. has eliminated the Hand's peripheral forces and found the whereabouts of the other four, then we'll strike again and send them all back to their hometowns."

night.

Aunt Mei has already gone upstairs to her room to sleep.

A tall, red-clad figure knocked on the door of the already closed Treasure Shop.

Bai Ye opened the door and saw:

"Erica? What brings you here?"

She was a woman wearing a red leather jacket and pants, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous and devilish figure.

Her features were delicate and three-dimensional, her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders in waves, and she had healthy, wheat-colored skin.

"Kingpin sent me here to buy him medicine, that life-saving drug that costs $1000 million a bottle."

Erica shrugged and said.

At this point, Erica was Kingpin's subordinate, helping him with miscellaneous tasks.

Erica was the one who handled the transactions between White Night and Kingpin.

After several encounters, the two quickly became acquainted.

Erica: "I heard you crippled Bullseye? That guy was really annoying, he almost never did anything right, he deserved it!"

"Ok!"

Bai Ye nodded and said:

"There is an old Chinese saying: 'Good deeds beget good leopards, and evil deeds beget evil leopards; retribution may be delayed, but it will come soon enough!'"

###Chapter 28 No way, no way###

Zhongchengquan Financial Company.

On the surface, it is a legally registered financial company, but in reality, it is one of the New York branches of the Hand, and is the property of Alexandra, one of the Five Fingers.

now.

Alexandra sat at the head of the conference room, looking very seriously at the other three people around the conference table.

Murakami, Sowangda, Madame Gao.

The four of them are the remaining "fingers".

Normally, they are all big shots who dominate their own territories and manage their own industries. It has been more than ten years since they gathered together like this.

"The gambler is dead!"

Alexandra said in a deep voice.

Before they arrived, everyone else already knew the news, but hearing Alexandra repeat it still shocked them.

The five of them escaped from Kunlun together more than five hundred years ago.

Over the past five hundred years, they have had their share of petty squabbles, conflicts, and crises, but no matter what, none of the five of them have ever been missing.

This is the first time.

The rabbit dies and the fox grieves; creatures grieve for their own kind.

Who knows, who among them will be the next to die?

"Can't the gambler be resurrected using dragon bones?"

Murakami said in a deep voice.

"The gambler's body had been burned to ashes by gasoline, so even dragon bones couldn't revive him under these circumstances."

Alexandra said.

The Hand is able to resurrect the dead using a magical substance called dragon bone.

As long as the body is well preserved, resurrecting a person is no problem at all.

But if the corpse doesn't exist, the dragon bones can't possibly create a person out of thin air, can they?

"Did the person who killed the gambler know the secret that we could be resurrected using the dragon bones, which is why they completely destroyed the gambler's body?"

Sowanga said.

The four of them fell silent.

Without a doubt, yes.

The enemy, having learned their most fundamental secret, will never miss an opportunity to finish them off.

Therefore, they absolutely cannot be careless or make any mistakes when facing the enemy, otherwise there will be no chance to start over.

Who exactly is the enemy?

"Madam Gao asked."

Alexandra slowly uttered three words:

S.H.I.E.L.D.!

"S.H.I.E.L.D.!?" Murakami exclaimed in surprise. "Our Hand and S.H.I.E.L.D. have no past grudges or recent conflicts, so why are they targeting us?"

"Could it be..." Sowanda glanced at Mrs. Gao, "that one of us has offended S.H.I.E.L.D., causing them to target our entire Hand?"

"Sowanda, what do you think I mean?" Madam Gao was furious.

"Among us, if we're talking about whose businesses are most likely to affect S.H.I.E.L.D., it's definitely you and Bottom!" Sowanda sneered.

Of the five fingers.

Sowanda's base of operations is in Africa; he is an African warlord and a guest of honor of many kings.

Murakami's base of support is in Japan, where he has clashed with organizations such as Iga, Koga, and "Bakery".

Alexandra has a sophisticated and high-class image; she's involved in finance.

Only Madam Gao and the gambler, one touched the drug, and the other reached out to the child.

"Sowanga, it seems you want to fight me before you deal with the foreign enemy?" Madam Gao said grimly.

"Stop arguing!" Alexandra slammed her hand on the table. "The enemy is practically at our doorstep. Do you really want to do something that hurts our friends and pleases our enemies?"

"Hmph!" *2

Mrs. Gao and Sowangda exchanged a glance, snorted coldly, and sat back down.

“I have received information that the reason S.H.I.E.L.D. is targeting us is not because of Mrs. Gosling and Bottom’s business, but because some of them suspect that we have connections with Hydra.”

Alexandra pinched the bridge of her nose and said.

"Hydra?" Murakami frowned. "Didn't they disappear during World War II? What does that have to do with us?"

“It is said that S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered that Bottom has connections with Daniel Horwester, the former head of Hydra,” Alexandra said. “Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. suspects that our entire Hand is a springboard for Hydra’s resurgence.”

"So it was that bastard Botto who caused this mess!" Sowanda said angrily. "He caused it himself, why should we take the blame for him? Can't we explain this to S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

The five fingers of a hand usually each look after their own things, so who would know what the other is doing?

If it were true that the gamblers were keeping secrets and maintaining all contact with Hydra, that would be perfectly normal.

Because the four of them had also dealt with other underworld forces.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. will never listen to our Hand’s explanation!” Murakami sneered and said to Sowanda, “Have you been in Africa for too long and your brain has become like those idiots? With S.H.I.E.L.D.’s style, they will never give up until they have arrested all of our Hand’s top brass and thoroughly investigated them.”

"Then what do we do?" Sowanga glared at Murakami. "Are we just going to take the blame for the gambler?"

Murakami, too lazy to look at Sowanda's foolishness any longer, looked directly at Alexandra and said, "What do you plan to do next?"

“You should know how powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. is. Behind them stand the five largest nations on this planet,” Alexandra said. “Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that the Hand does not currently have the resources to go head-to-head with S.H.I.E.L.D..”

She looked at the three of them: "So next, I will withdraw from the United States and keep a low profile for a while. I suggest you do the same, otherwise, among the four of us, there may be further losses."

There is no subordinate relationship between the five fingers of the hand, and she cannot directly command others.

"I'll be taking my private jet back to Japan tonight," Murakami stated directly.

Sowanda: "I will also be going back to Africa tomorrow."

When it was Madam Gao's turn to speak, she hesitated and said, "I still have a few things to finish up recently, and I can only leave after I've taken care of them."

"However, it won't take more than a few days, no more than a week, before I return to Southeast Asia."

Alexandra frowned. "Alright, think it over yourself. Remember, during your stay, keep a low profile and don't let S.H.I.E.L.D. catch you red-handed."

Mrs. Gao: "I know."

"It's alright if you get caught, but don't be a spineless coward and give us away."

Sowanga made a sarcastic remark.
