Hell's Kitchen, secret gathering.
This was one of The Hand's bases in the Big Apple. The Hand originated in the feudal era of the Eastern Ying centuries ago.
Some oppressed people fled to the Iga and Koga regions, where they cultivated skills. Later, they may have been influenced by the Chinese The Art of War, eventually forming ninjutsu.
Over the next hundred years, they continuously learned and trained. Most members were proficient in unarmed combat, swordsmanship, disguise, concealment, and escape skills. They also possessed willpower, endurance, and combat effectiveness beyond ordinary people.
They were also experts in espionage and assassination, usually providing professional services to the wealthy or warlords.
The Hand also possessed powerful magic secrets that could resurrect the dead.
And then slowly developed into a notorious international organization.
A human hand has five fingers, and The Hand also has five leaders, corresponding to each finger. They are Alexandra, Madame Gao, Nobu, Swanda, and Murakami, all elders from Kunlun. They were expelled for trying to use Dragon Bone fossils to extend their lifespan.
At this moment, Madame Gao was leisurely enjoying tea on the skyscraper's rooftop. Madame Gao was an elderly woman in her fifties. If she were walking alone on the street, no one would think that such a kind and amiable old lady was the leader of a globally renowned assassin organization.
The phone rang!
Madame Gao's phone rang, and the caller was Tom, the leader of the Irish gang.
Tom described the content of the conference call to Madame Gao, and indicated that many gangs were now dissatisfied with Chen Ye and Kingpin, and they proposed they needed The Hand's help.
Madame Gao put down her teacup and answered the phone, "Alright, I understand. Chen Ye is indeed a problem. I've lost quite a few clients because of him. I'll send someone over, don't worry."
"Go to the meeting first and see what Chen Ye and the others are up to."
Then Madame Gao hung up the phone, a hint of coldness appearing on her face. If the Madame Gao just now was a kind and amiable elderly neighbor, then the current Madame Gao was like a cold, poisonous snake.
Murakami, sitting opposite Madame Gao, looked at her expression change and curiously asked, "What's wrong? Your expression changed after a phone call."
"It's always those ungrateful dogs, Kingpin included, and that Irish gang leader too.
They're already trying to negotiate with me before even dealing with Kingpin.
They don't know their place." Madame Gao said angrily.
"After all these years, haven't you figured out human nature yet?
Human desire is endless, nobody is ever satisfied, everyone wants more.
Look at us, aren't we the same? We both want to live forever." Murakami looked at the sky and sighed.
Madame Gao realized she had lost her composure and instantly reverted to her kind old lady persona.
Madame Gao didn't really care who ruled Hell's Kitchen,
After all, someone like her, who had lived for a long time, didn't really care about money or power anymore.
Now, the only thing she cared about was finding the legendary Dragon Bone, and achieving eternal life.
However, for now, she definitely needed to deal with Kingpin and Chen Ye.
Ever since this Chen Ye returned to Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin's desire to retire had grown stronger, leading to his weakening control over Hell's Kitchen.
This made it increasingly difficult for Madame Gao and the others to sell their goods, which was not something Madame Gao wanted to see.
"How about I make a move this time? I'm quite curious about Chen Ye's superpowers," Murakami couldn't help but volunteer.
"It's rare for you, Murakami, to be so interested. Then I won't refuse. I'll send people to deal with Kingpin.
I remember he seems to care a lot about his wife. We'll send someone to capture his wife and children," Madame Gao's eyes immediately lit up when she heard Murakami volunteer, and she quickly agreed. "I will personally take action with my disciple, Shin," Murakami added.
Madame Gao's mood instantly improved, as if Kingpin and Chen Ye were fish on a chopping block.
After all, two fingers of The Hand had personally come out, and Murakami's disciple, Shin, was also present. Plus, there were hundreds of ninjas stationed in the Big Apple. With such a luxurious lineup, it would be hard to lose.
On the other side, Gust, who was playing with fire, also called the mayor to have him dispatch his ace troops to provide support.
Although the mayor was corrupt, he still had a strong sense of professional ethics.
He immediately agreed to Gust's request and arranged for special personnel to provide door-to-door service.
He leaned deeply into the soft sofa and lit a cigar.
He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. Accompanied by beautiful music, he began to fantasize about the family's beautiful future.
At this moment, the mayor on the other end of the line also made a call.
"Hail HYDRA!" It turned out that this mayor was a member of HYDRA.
"Hail HYDRA!" On the other end of the line, Director Pierce first looked around cautiously, confirming that no one was nearby before responding.
Director Pierce was the highest leader of HYDRA hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., his position in S.H.I.E.L.D. was equivalent to that black egghead.
"You usually wouldn't call me unless it's urgent, so what is it?" Director Pierce took the initiative to speak.
"That mutant in Hell's Kitchen has been causing quite a stir recently.
I received information that there might be a gang war in a few days. We need your support."
Of course, the mayor wouldn't ask for help just because he had taken Gust's bribe; he said it was for the safety of the Big Apple City.
On the other end of the phone, Pierce, after listening, knew exactly what the colleague was thinking, and immediately refused, "If you have a problem, you can go to the police. We don't handle these small-scale shootouts."
The mayor understood that Pierce, the bald man, was subtly rejecting him, but after all, he had received so much money, and if he didn't do something, he was afraid that no one would pay him respects in the future.
So he quickly said, "I'm also thinking of the organization. If we can solve Kingpin and that mutant this time, my people can take control of Hell's Kitchen.
Then we, HYDRA, will have another base in Hell's Kitchen. Nobody cares how people die there."
Hearing this, Pierce was a little tempted, but he still said, "We have bases all over the world. One more Hell's Kitchen isn't much, and there's no need to care about the lives of a bunch of gangsters. Unless..."
The mayor understood what this meant, and gritted his teeth, "Fifty million, transferred to your private account, and the territory of Hell's Kitchen will all be yours."
"Alright, I'll send Brock Rumlow to lead the team then. Hail HYDRA!" Director Pierce immediately agreed with a serious expression.
"Hail HYDRA!" The mayor quickly hung up the phone.
"Fuck, this time I've lost big. And for HYDRA, I spit on them." The mayor cursed.
In fact, the people in HYDRA didn't have much loyalty to the organization. They all joined HYDRA for their own interests.
Gust was anxiously waiting for the mayor's call.
On the phone, the mayor first said that Gust needed to pay an additional 100 million in compensation as a fee for taking action, saying that the matter had already been taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D.
This was a very mysterious department. With them, Gust could rest easy!
Hearing this reply, Gust was naturally very excited. Although the 100 million dollar fee made Gust feel a little heartbroken, as long as he could get rid of Chen Ye and Kingpin, it was all worth it.
