Chapter 8: Chapter 8. Intruders.
Madame Gao's remark, if made in another world, would properly be discriminatory against people with disabilities.
But, this was the world of Marvel. Madame Gao and Daredevil were clearly on opposite sides of the fence, so no one took the discriminatory remarks to heart, no, more like they didn't hear it.
In the factory, at Madame Gao's command, the blind workers with numb expressions dropped the drugs in their hands and fumbled around to pounce on Daredevil, who had broken into the factory.
As a superhero, Daredevil had a natural disadvantage, and that was the inability to lay a heavy hand on the innocents who surrounded him.
After all, not everyone was capable of rampaging like the Punisher.
Especially with his super senses, he had sensed that Madame Gao's factory was full of blind people like him.
Instructing the blind workers under her command to surround Daredevil, Madame Gao didn't linger much longer. She was escorted by the guards, who arrived afterwards and hurried out.
It was clear to her that the workers in the factory were just average, ordinary people who even had difficulty moving more than normal because of their blindness. It was clearly impossible to contain Daredevil for long. And since Daredevil was able to find her secret factory, it also meant that the existence of the factory was no longer secret and safe.
Bang, bang--
However, just as Madame Gao and her party were about to evacuate from the factory...
With a loud bang, Madame Gao saw the security guards who had been walking in front of her, protecting her and the factory, fly backwards and fly past her at great speed. He crashed hard into the wall, leaving a spiderweb-like, deep and shallow crack.
"Who was that?!"
The miserable appearance of her henchmen and the cracks in the walls brought back some unpleasant memories for Madame Gao.
She narrowed her eyes, withdrew the false kindness from her face and stared at the vague figure that appeared in the shadows with a stony expression.
"I'm just a vigilante helper."
What emerged from the shadows, however, was a man who was a complete stranger to Madame Gao.
He had a short haircut and was wearing a red sweatshirt, and a pair of light blue trousers with the legs rolled up and somewhat washed white. On his feet, he wore a pair of worn-out track shoes, in which people could vaguely see his toes moving around.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have thought that this shabbily dressed tramp was dangerous and was able to knock out a security guard?
However, Madame Gao, after all, was a person who had seen it all and knew the true meaning of 'don't judge a book by its cover.'
Therefore, instead of letting down her guard because of the shabby appearance of the tramp, she carefully stepped back and waved at the rest of the guards around her to attack.
"Go!"
The next thing Madame Gao saw was exactly how the man had knocked her security guard out of the way earlier.
Within a second, he was already in front of the guard who had fired a shot and lifted a powerful kick that shattered the submachine gun in the guard's hand. Then, he lifted his leg sideways and kicked the guard into the air like a soccer ball.
Then, with a dull thud and the sound of several broken bones, the guy landed harshly on the floor.
Looking at the guard who had fallen back to the ground and whose whole body was distorted into a nonhuman-like shape, the man couldn't help but twitch a little at the corners of his mouth, even though he still looked unmoving on the surface.
'The effect of the Mighty Steel Leg is really powerful!'
That's right, the man who came out of nowhere was none other than Ryan, after disguising himself through Phantom Thief Kid's ability.
And the reason why this scene happened was also thanks to the treasure chest he opened outside the factory before.
[D-level Card -- Fifth Brother Ah Xing]
[Skill: Recycling garbage, Shaolin Steel Leg]
[Background: Fifth senior brother of the Shaolin team. Extremely addicted to martial arts. He possesses the powerful Shaolin Mighty Steel Leg. He is bent on promoting the Shaolin style of martial arts and bringing it to prominence.]
Drawing this card gave Ryan the confidence to break into the factory.
With the power of the Mighty Steel Leg, Ryan took care of the few remaining guards with three strikes.
Soon, Madame Gao was the only one left.
However, in such a situation, Ryan didn't relax.
Although Madame Gao was leaning on a cane and trembling as if she would have fallen straight to the ground without him having to do anything... However, Ryan clearly knew that all that was just a disguise. In fact, the other party was so powerful that a palm strike could blow people several meters away.
"Who the hell are you?"
Madame Gao's eyes were fixed on Ryan, who was suddenly in front of her, "Did K'un-Lun send you?"
"K'un-Lun?"
Ryan was aware of the K'un-Lun Madame Gao spoke of, and the K'un-Lun he knew were, in fact, two completely different places. The former represented the superhuman forces of China, represented by Iron Fist in the Marvel world, while the latter was the ancestor of all mountains and the place where all immortals gathered in Ryan's memory.
"I don't know any K'un-Lun." Although he knew it in his heart, Ryan could only fake confusion and shook his head in order to keep the act going, "I'm from Peng Lai."
"Peng Lai?!"
[Reputation points from Madame Gao +15]
Madame Gao was aware of Peng Lai, the legendary island of immortality overseas in the East.
"Isn't that place a legend?" Upon hearing the legendary name, Madame Gao was still in disbelief.
"Isn't it the same with the K'un-Lun you're talking about? " In response, Ryan couldn't help but ask a rhetorical question.
Ryan's Peng Lai couldn't really exist, at least in the Marvel world. The reason why he said it was because he could brush up on his reputation by creating a perception of a mysterious force.
"..."
Madame Gao was silent for a moment at Ryan's rhetorical question, digesting what she had learned before saying, "If you're from Peng Lai, why are you in New York? "
"I'm here to find the legendary ultimate king of killers - The Beast, who disappeared 3 years ago after killing our Peng Lai's people and was recently rumored to have been seen in a place called Villard, New York ..."
"The ultimate king of killers? The Beast!"
[Reputation points from Madame Gao +20]
As an old woman who had lived for countless centuries, Madame Gao thought she had all the answers she needed, but she was still a bit shocked by Ryan's answers.
[Reputation points from Daredevil +15]
Ryan wasn't surprised to get reputation points from Madame Gao; after all, that was why he said those things.
However, the appearance of the prompt from Daredevil was a bit interesting.
This meant that the superhero was secretly hiding in a corner, eavesdropping on the conversation between Madame Gao and him.
