Bab 41: Chapter 41
"Welcome, new master."
The Hand members knelt in reverence, pledging their allegiance to Su Chen. He was somewhat puzzled by this sudden loyalty.
"The Hand serves the strong. You've defeated Kingpin and conquered Kurokumo. From now on, these people will follow you," Hit-Girl, Mindy, explained.
Seeing Su Chen's hesitation, Mindy added, "If you don't need them, they can be invisible, absolutely out of the way. Besides, you need more power."
Hearing this, Su Chen didn't say much and seemed to accept it.
Everything was over. Hit-Girl glanced at the bloodied corpse of Kingpin and sighed. Soon, they left Fisk Tower.
For the past week, Su Chen had been the world's enemy, caught in a storm. To care for his mentally exhausted sister, he stayed low-key, disappearing from public view. Many, including SHIELD agents, believed the top mutant fugitive had gone into hiding.
But no one imagined Su Chen had moved into one of Manhattan's most luxurious penthouses with his sister.

In Yorktown City, Manhattan, a skyscraper hundreds of meters tall pierced the sky. At the top, a multimillion-dollar penthouse offered an unparalleled view. Recently, Su Chen had mysteriously arrived in the city, fulfilling his childhood dream of owning a luxurious apartment in the bustling metropolis, driving the best cars, and bringing his family from the countryside.
Thanks to Hit-Girl's experience, they secured the apartment with a hefty bribe. Su Chen's newfound psychic abilities ensured the staff, including the butler, were brainwashed, preventing any trouble.
Su Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, the city's neon lights sprawling beneath him like ants. The feeling of having the city at his feet was intoxicating.
"So this is ambition?" Su Chen mused, a different flavor of emotion surfacing in his heart.
"Brother, if Mom were still here, she would be so proud of you," his sister, Susan, said, hugging a doll and wearing a pink dress.
"Really?" Su Chen smiled, ruffling her hair. He noticed he had grown significantly taller since fighting the Hulk, now standing over 1.7 meters at thirteen. His physique had also become more robust, with well-defined muscles exuding immense power.
Su Chen realized his thoughts had matured as well. The childish stubbornness and innocence had vanished, replaced by a newfound steadiness. Spending time with Susan had softened his heart, and the darkness and murderous intent had subsided.
He often found himself wondering if, after achieving his final revenge, he should take his sister and leave this life behind. But he knew the path he had taken had diverged too far from peace. Could he ever go back? Even if he let go, others might not.
"Brother, do you remember the ghost that scared Mom?" Susan's words brought back a memory. Their mother had once mentioned a shadow trying to break in at night. She had loaded her gun but found no one outside, attributing it to a hallucination.
"Maybe it was a ghost..." Su Chen thought it was just a bad dream his mother had due to her poor health.
Wait... Su Chen's expression turned serious, a drop of cold sweat forming on his forehead. "Something's not right. Where did this memory come from?"
His face changed as he sensed a subtle disturbance in reality, like a shift in the timeline. He knew this feeling well, as he was adept at altering reality. Someone had interfered.
Who could it be? What had they done?
Su Chen's suspicions grew as he felt a memory had been "embedded" in his mind. The seamless insertion was flawless, almost undetectable. The thought that someone had altered his and Susan's memories reignited his murderous intent.
"Damn it!!" Su Chen clenched his fists, feeling the surge of anger. His body's infinite evolving genes began to respond to the mysterious change.
Whoever did this was going to pay.
