Chapter 80: Chapter 080: Are They Also Ninjas? (Bonus Chapter)
At this moment, Sasuke's attack methods were all displayed on the monitor in front of Madame Gao.
Seeing their substitution jutsu, Sasuke's shuriken techniques, and the disguises of the three, all with Asian features, Madame Gao's tone grew uncertain. She said, "Are they also ninja?"
Then her tone turned cold, and she ordered, "Xin, gather all the ninjas and deal with them. Eliminate the two young ones, but make sure to capture the one who appears to be leading them."
"I want him alive."
Ninja Xin nodded and replied, "Yes."
He then left Madame Gao's room and led the Hand Organization's ninjas downstairs.
Watching the surveillance video of the trio causing chaos, Madame Gao wasn't worried. She was just wondering about their origins. On the island nation, aside from her Hand Organization, the only legitimate ninja presence was the Sacred Order.
However, the trio's techniques and appearances clearly didn't match those of the Sacred Order. Their use of substitution jutsu, in particular, caught her attention.
Could it be that the Iga and Koga clans, among others, had developed new ninja techniques?
As Madame Gao contemplated, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and swiped up to answer.
"Boss, it's bad news. We're under attack by a large number of unidentified individuals at the Hell's Kitchen factory. They seem to be New York's assassins..."
"Eh...?"
Before the caller could finish their sentence, a scream cut them off abruptly, and then there was silence.
The phone call hadn't been hung up yet, and Erla, who had successfully killed the informant, stood over the body. She needed to take photos as evidence and arrange for Charlie from the Continental Hotel to retrieve the body for the bounty claim later.
Upon seeing the still-connected phone, Erla picked it up from the ground and said, "Hey, where are you? I'd like to meet with you."
Apparently, Erla had her sights on the caller, believing it could be another lucrative bounty.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice from the phone, Madame Gao didn't respond. She simply slid her phone shut, instantly ending the call.
On the other end, Erla heard the busy tone and angrily cursed, "Damn it."
Seemingly, she thought she had lost out on a potential bounty.
At this moment, Bowery King approached and said, "Hurry up and take pictures for evidence. If necessary, call our people to send the bodies to the Continental Hotel. There's been too much killing today, and I'm afraid Charlie and his team won't be able to handle it all."
Hearing Bowery King's words, Erla considered it for a moment and then called in some subordinates to start collecting the bodies. They would then proceed with a team of elites to the next target.
…
On the other side, Madame Gao, who had just hung up the phone, was receiving a barrage of messages reporting attacks on various locations. She realized that the situation had become complicated.
Meanwhile, Ginny was in the meeting room using her Adjudicator status to access the Hand Organization's activity records in Hell's Kitchen.
She started sorting through the information based on the details provided by Bowery King about the building, preparing to identify the targets.
In the lounge area of the office, Charles sat, listening to soothing music and sipping the fine wine provided by Ginny. He was waiting for Sasuke and the others to bring Madame Gao to him.
At this point, Hell's Kitchen was in chaos, but Charles had already established an understanding with the police.
They would ignore the chaos as long as it remained within Hell's Kitchen. However, if similar-scale attacks occurred outside the area, other police forces would respond promptly to emergency calls.
…
Differing from the chaos in Hell's Kitchen, the Manhattan district in downtown New York City was peaceful.
Tony Stark, who had already finished his press conference, stood in front of the massive Ark Reactor on display in his company's lobby, deep in thought.
Obadiah Stane arrived at the scene after hearing from Happy that Tony Stark was inside and used his card to enter.
With a cigar in his mouth, Obadiah, looking at the enormous reactor, said, "Look at this, how well done."
Obadiah took the cigar out of his mouth, approached Tony, and continued, "How much do you estimate the stock will drop tomorrow?"
Tony looked at the gigantic Ark Reactor before him and replied, "Being optimistic, around 40 points."
Obadiah, standing beside Tony, said, "At least 40 points."
"Tony, we're weapons manufacturers."
Obadiah hadn't finished his sentence when Tony interjected, saying, "I don't want to use human lives as currency."
"That's..."
This time, Tony didn't let Obadiah finish and said, "That's our duty."
Obadiah replied, "Yes, it's our duty."
Obadiah looked at Tony, his expression serious, and continued, "We consume steel to make weapons."
Tony argued, "The company's building has my name on it."
Obadiah didn't pay attention to Tony's argument and said, "Everything we do is to maintain world peace and stability."
Tony reiterated, "What we've done is not honorable."
"We can do better, we must find another way."
Hearing Tony's words, Obadiah asked, "So, what do you want to do? Manufacture baby bottles?"
Tony responded earnestly, "We should redefine our purpose, such as the technological value of the Ark Reactor."
Hearing Tony's words, Obadiah laughed and said, "Come on, redefining our purpose is just a gimmick."
"Tony, let it go. It's just a way to appease those who don't know any better."
Tony gazed at the reactor and said, "It's not just a gimmick."
Obadiah smiled and said, "Yes, it's a research project. But it's hardly cost-effective."
"You and I both know it's not making any progress. It's been nearly 30 years."
Tony then turned around and faced Obadiah, his face filled with pride. "No, I've made a breakthrough."
Obadiah stared at Tony in disbelief and asked, "What? You've made a breakthrough already? Show me!"
Tony unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the Ark Reactor on his chest.
Seeing the Ark Reactor, Obadiah's eyes lit up, and he immediately buttoned Tony's shirt back up. Then, he said:
"Listen to me, Tony."
"We're on the same boat. If we work together, we'll be incredibly powerful, just like your dad and me."
Tony said, "I'm sorry for not giving you a heads-up. My apologies."
Obadiah smiled and said, "Leave the press conference to me this time. We need to play a completely different hand this time."
"You're definitely going to be under a lot of pressure. Promise me that you'll keep a low profile."
There was no leaks from Rhodey this time, but Tony voluntarily shared his latest research with this elder he "trusted."
