He couldn't be bothered with pleasantries, his body leaning slightly forward, ready to deal with this woman in front of him and the trash beneath his feet.
"One more step, and all of Hell's Kitchen will become your grave."
"They are waiting for you," Elektra continued, "You've caused too much commotion. The main forces of The Hand, as well as the Police, and even S.H.I.E.L.D., are all rushing here. This is a trap."
"A trap?" Moon Knight laughed, "I came to step into traps."
He no longer cared.
He just wanted to kill.
Find that bastard, then kill him.
"You won't find him this way," Elektra saw through his thoughts, "He'll just hide in the shadows, enjoying your madness until you're exhausted, then be captured like a dog by the Police or others."
Moon Knight fell silent.
Though he didn't want to admit it, what this woman said was true.
He had caused such a ruckus for so long, yet besides taking down a bunch of cannon fodder, he hadn't even seen a shadow of Shadow Knight.
"Who are you?" Jack finally asked the question.
"Someone who doesn't want you to die here." Elektra put away her dual sai, "William Rodriguez sent me."
William.
That name brought him a moment of clarity.
William… that bastard businessman who always had a look of "everything is under control."
"He sent you to tell me this nonsense?" Jack's voice turned cold again, "Get out of my way, don't block my path."
He walked past Elektra, ready to leave this now worthless stronghold.
He was going to the next place.
Elektra frowned.
This man was even more stubborn than she had imagined.
Just as she was about to forcibly take Jack away, a slow, mocking round of applause came from the alley entrance.
"Clap... clap... clap..."
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
He wore a tattered black battle suit, almost identical in style to Moon Knight's, but its color was as if stained with ink.
Beneath the hood was a face covered by a black mask.
Shadow Knight.
"What a touching scene." Shadow Knight's voice was sharp and grating, "The Fist of the Moon, Khonshu's avatar of vengeance, actually needs a woman to tell him how to do things?"
Jack's body instantly froze.
He spun around abruptly, his bloodshot eyes locked onto the black figure.
It was him.
No mistake.
It was this voice, on the phone, that had pronounced the death sentence of Marlene and their child.
"Look at you." Shadow Knight spread his arms, as if displaying a work of art, "Like a mad dog, biting wildly in a junkyard. Is this what you call 'revenge'?"
"How pathetic."
Elektra immediately flashed to Jack's side, lowering her voice: "Don't be impulsive! This is provocation! He's deliberately trying to make you attack!"
"I heard you received the 'gift' I sent you."
"How does it feel? The feeling of losing what you cherish most?"
"Oh, right, that woman... Marlene, wasn't it? Her screams were truly delightful."
"Boom!"
The string of reason in Moon Knight's mind completely snapped.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah—!"
He let out a roar, ignoring Elektra's obstruction, and charged madly towards Shadow Knight at the alley entrance.
Elektra tried to grab him, but the immense power erupting from him pushed her back a step.
She could only watch as that white fury slammed into the bottomless darkness.
Shadow Knight stood still, unmoving.
He watched Jack charging at him, a cruelly curved smile forming beneath his hood.
"Come on, brother."
He whispered in a voice only he could hear.
"Let me see who inherited more."
The next second, the two figures, one White and one Black, collided violently!
