"The Hand was co-founded by several of us, and it has developed into what it is today!"
"As for the Dragon Bone..." Madame Gao looked up, a bitter smile on her face. "We only know that its effects are heaven-defying. It can be used for cultivation and grant longevity, but beyond that... we know nothing else!"
Hiss—longevity?!
Hearing this, Daredevil sucked in a breath of cold air. Previously, he only knew The Hand was an organization involved in illegal operations. He knew very little about the origins of Madame Gao and the others. He never expected their background to be so fantastic.
K'un-Lun! Dragon Bone! Longevity!!
These terms felt incredibly alien to him. He secretly guessed that Elektra's resurrection might be related to this. He also became even more curious about Lin Feng's identity!
"Mhm, you're being honest enough," Lin Feng nodded, seeing that Madame Gao wasn't hiding anything.
It matched what he already knew. Since Madame Gao was being so cooperative, it actually made his decision a bit difficult—should he kill her, or would it be better to... just kill her anyway?
"Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!"
Madame Gao was terrified by the malicious glint in Lin Feng's eyes. She suppressed her weakness and knelt, pleading, "As long as you spare my life, I am willing to help you take over the entire Hand! I can even help you kill the other troublesome members of the Five Fingers!"
At this moment, Madame Gao couldn't care less about "sect camaraderie." Humans were selfish by nature. Since the day they betrayed K'un-Lun, they had discarded their consciences. Betrayal was as common as a daily meal.
"Matt, what do you think?" Lin Feng turned to ask Daredevil.
"This..." Matt hesitated.
Madame Gao and her ilk had committed countless crimes; dying a thousand, even ten thousand times wouldn't be enough. But he knew deep down that he was just the enforcer here.
"Daredevil, though we had grievances in the past, I am now willing to turn over a new leaf! I beg you to grant me a path to live!" Gao pleaded desperately, grasping at straws.
But Matt shook his head. "Your life or death is for the Boss to decide. I am merely the Boss's subordinate!"
Madame Gao's face turned as pale as a ghost's.
"Alright." Lin Feng waved his hand casually and said indifferently, "Matt, I'll leave the matter of taking over The Hand to you."
"Yes, Boss!" Daredevil retracted his blind cane and answered respectfully.
Madame Gao was momentarily stunned. But then, seeing Daredevil put away his weapon, she was suddenly moved to tears of joy. "Thank you, Lord—no, thank you, Boss, for your mercy!"
At this moment, Madame Gao was overwhelmed with gratitude.
"..." Lin Feng didn't bother responding.
Whether Madame Gao was sincere in her loyalty didn't matter to him. The Shadow Khan followed him like his own shadow; if she had even a sliver of a bad intention, she would have nowhere to hide—only death would await her. In other words, her life hung on a single thought. But Lin Feng wouldn't tell her that directly. A mere ant wasn't worth his attention.
Lin Feng turned to look at the excavation site below. By now, a massive skeleton of Dragon Bone had been unearthed. The efficiency of the Shadow Khan was far beyond what human labor could achieve.
Daredevil and Madame Gao walked to the edge as well. Upon seeing the massive Dragon Bone below, Gao gasped, "The Dragon Bone?!"
"This... this is it?!" Daredevil was also filled with shock and curiosity. What exactly was this Dragon Bone?
"Let's go down and take a look," Lin Feng said. His body slowly rose into the air as the darkness lifted him and carried him down.
Daredevil and Madame Gao looked at each other, secretly shocked. They quickly hurried down the side to catch up. The three of them soon reached the bottom. The Shadow Khan automatically parted to create a path before fading into the shadows.
The gargantuan Dragon Bone stood before them.
"My god, so much Dragon Bone... I—no, congratulations, Lord! Your prospects for longevity are assured!" Madame Gao's face was filled with fervor, but she quickly restrained herself and bowed to congratulate Lin Feng.
"So this is the Dragon Bone?" Lin Feng was intrigued. He instinctively reached out to lightly touch the bone.
A system prompt suddenly rang out.
[Ding! Host has successfully checked in at the famous scene: 'Descendant of the Dragon!']
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining rewards: Dragon Bone Qi Refinement Method! Power of the Divine Dragon!]
"Success?" Lin Feng was slightly taken-back, then overjoyed.
Who would complain about having too many rewards? Especially something like the "Power of the Divine Dragon"—it sounded incredibly powerful and likely wasn't a standard reward. But now was clearly not the time to inspect his prizes.
"Back off! Stand over there and don't move!"
Coming back to his senses, Lin Feng ordered Daredevil and Madame Gao to step aside. He then channeled the power of the Shadow Mask!
Vroom—vroom—vroom!
Shadows twisted into tentacles, directly dragging the massive Dragon Bone into the darkness of the Shadow Realm. Daredevil and Madame Gao watched this scene in utter horror.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place first."
With the Dragon Bone in hand, Lin Feng left without hesitation. Daredevil followed immediately. Seeing the Dragon Bone vanish, Madame Gao felt a sense of profound loss, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. Enduring the pain of her injuries, she turned to follow.
The group returned to the skyscraper on the surface. Inside the luxurious penthouse office, Lin Feng sat in the executive chair and gave his orders to Daredevil and Madame Gao. Both were shaken by their new boss's methods and ambition.
But they didn't harbor any doubts. With Lin Feng's means, seizing control of all of Hell's Kitchen wouldn't be difficult at all.
"Rest assured, Boss. I guarantee the mission will be completed!" Daredevil replied in a heavy voice. Madame Gao nodded in agreement.
"Madame Gao, regarding Elektra's resurrection... you know what to do, right?" Lin Feng's tone shifted as he asked.
