But now was not the time to consider that question.
"Kingpin, the rest is your responsibility. Don't disappoint Me."
Mandarin glanced indifferently at Kingpin.
Mandarin was well aware that this burly man had not truly submitted to him.
But he also knew that an unruly person like Kingpin would never dare to defy any of his orders unless he had enough confidence to do so.
And precisely, Mandarin also valued Kingpin's abilities.
He didn't care if Kingpin truly submitted to him.
If he couldn't even control a subordinate, then Mandarin wouldn't be worthy of becoming the sole emperor of the underground World!
How could he then rule the World?
Therefore;
Even though he knew Kingpin harbored rebellious intentions, he still entrusted him with important tasks.
"I understand, Mr. Ma."
Kingpin nodded, addressing him as Mr. Xu instead of My Lord.
Regarding this;
Mandarin didn't mind.
However, the Masked Man accompanying him was quite displeased, and his gaze towards Kingpin held a hint of ill will.
But Kingpin didn't care about such minor characters.
The only person who truly mattered to him was Mandarin himself.
As for everyone else?
It wasn't that Kingpin was arrogant, but he had the power not to put them in his eyes.
But as long as Mandarin was around, Kingpin could only remain subservient.
Unless he found an opportunity to turn the tables!

Chapter 96: Daredevil? Submit or Die! Kingpin's Fear! [Requesting Subscriptions]
"My Lord! Someone has intruded."
At this moment, a black-clad assassin came to report a situation.
"Oh~!
Mandarin looked at Kingpin and said, "This is your territory. Who do you think would intrude at this time?"
Upon hearing this, Kingpin thought for a moment before speaking a name.
Daredevil!
The person who knows you best is often your enemy.
This saying was absolutely correct.
Kingpin knew Daredevil very well. Besides not knowing Daredevil's true identity, he understood this guy's personality and temper extremely well.
If someone were to intrude into Fisk Tower at this moment, it would inevitably be Daredevil.
"Superhero?"
Mandarin smiled faintly.
"Since he's a Superhero, then please invite him up."
Upon hearing this, several black-clad assassins turned and left.
Not long after;
They led a man dressed in dark red up.
The man was not being escorted under duress.
After all, with Daredevil's strength, a few black-clad assassins couldn't do anything to him.
In fact, he was indeed invited!
The black-clad assassins didn't make a move when they saw Daredevil; instead, they told him that My Lord wanted to see him.
Daredevil was very curious who this My Lord was.
Perhaps it was his audacity due to his skill, so he followed the black-clad assassins.
"You are Daredevil?"
Mandarin sized up the man in front of him, nodded, and said, "Not bad. I heard you caused Kingpin quite a bit of trouble. It seems your abilities are quite good."
Daredevil "looked" at the unfamiliar man in front of him. From the other party, he felt a sense of threat that was even greater than Kingpin's.
This made Daredevil's muscles involuntarily tense up.
He was ready for battle at any moment.
"You are the My Lord they speak of?"
Daredevil said, "What is your relationship with Kingpin?"
Upon hearing this, Mandarin smiled and said, "Kingpin has already submitted to Me. Now I'm giving you the same opportunity: submit or die?"
Daredevil was stunned.
He hadn't expected such an answer.
Moreover;
The other party wanted him to submit as soon as he spoke.
This was also something Daredevil hadn't expected.
Arrogant?
But since the other party could make someone like Kingpin submit to him, if one were to say he was arrogant, it didn't seem to be the case.
However, Daredevil clearly did not intend to submit to the other party.
Therefore;
He secretly prepared to escape.
That's right!
Daredevil had no intention of fighting the other party.
Not to mention the numerical superiority of the other side.
And there were many experts present!
The mere sense of danger Mandarin gave him made Daredevil unwilling to make a move.
He had a feeling that if he made a move, he would surely die on the spot!
Thus, Daredevil, known for his extraordinary courage, decided to run away directly before even engaging with the enemy.
If those who knew Daredevil found out about this.
They would surely be shocked.
When did Daredevil become so cowardly?
However, Daredevil didn't think this was cowardice.
He was clearly acting within his capabilities!
What is cowardice?
Having the strength but not daring to fight, that's cowardice.
And he was currently the weaker party, so what if he ran away?
Did he have to fight until he was battered and bruised to be called brave?
"You want to run?"
Just as Daredevil was preparing, Mandarin on the other side exposed his thoughts.
His retreating footsteps froze, and Daredevil "looked" at the other party with a solemn expression.
"I don't want to submit, and I don't want to die."
He said.
Mandarin nodded and said, "That's normal, but you only have these two choices today: either submit or die here. There is no third option for you!"
"But I insist on choosing!"
Daredevil said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this;
Mandarin also shook his head with a look of regret.
The surrounding gang leaders, upon seeing his expression, knew that Daredevil was in trouble.
And Kingpin, as Daredevil's long-time opponent, suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Daredevil at this moment.
Because what Daredevil was experiencing now was exactly what he had just gone through not long ago.
However, Kingpin was a person who could bend and stretch.
So he chose to submit without hesitation.
But Daredevil was too stubborn and didn't understand what it meant to bend and stretch, so he chose to resist!
"Daredevil, farewell!"
Kingpin thought to himself.
He had personally experienced Mandarin's strength.
Even he, strong as he was, couldn't last a single move against him.
And while Daredevil was troublesome, he was not Kingpin's match in a real fight.
If even Kingpin couldn't withstand Mandarin's single move, then Daredevil was even less likely to!
But just then;
The Masked Man, who had been silently following Mandarin, suddenly stepped forward and said, "My Lord, let me test this person."
Perhaps the Masked Man felt that he hadn't played much of a role in this operation, so he wanted to show off at this last moment, otherwise he might easily be underestimated by My Lord's newly acquired subordinates.
Especially that Kingpin.
The Masked Man had seen how that fat man ignored him just now.
So he urgently wanted to demonstrate his strength.
To prove that he was worthy of My Lord's attention!
"You want to test him?" Mandarin nodded, "Alright, I'll leave it to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked to a seat nearby and sat down.
Seeing this, a gang leader immediately diligently poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mandarin with both hands.
"My Lord, please have some tea!"
Mandarin nodded at the person.
