Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Calling it a secret base is an understatement; it's more accurate to describe it as a temporary residence and training ground.

Big Daddy converted an office into an armory and bedroom, and then converted the factory outside into a training ground.

Upon entering the secret base, Mindy explained, "This place isn't suitable for long-term living because the surrounding land is heavily polluted with chemicals, so we can only stay here temporarily."

"Then we might as well just go back to the orphanage," Esther said directly.

Mark looked at Esther in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Esther nodded and explained, "I was sold to that person by an orphanage in Russia. I can change my identity and find another orphanage to live in."

Mindy nodded immediately, taking on the task. "Then leave this to me. I can help you find a reliable orphanage."

Mindy, who was raised as a superhero by her father since childhood, still has a strong sense of justice and compassion.

Mark didn't say anything when he saw this. It was good that Esther left; he wasn't too comfortable with this older loli.

It wouldn't be good if this older loli saw them growing up day by day and felt resentful, then deliberately did something stupid.

"I'll stick with you guys. I want to become a superhero as amazing as Mindy too," Emma said, looking at Mindy with feigned admiration.

Mindy's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this; she thoroughly enjoyed the admiration her friend Emma showed her.

Mindy smiled and said, "No problem, I'll train you well, and then we'll fight evil together."

mark:"……"

Are you children? How can you be so careless about something like this?

wrong.

They really do seem to be children.

Mark realized what was happening too; he even saw the smug look in Emma's eyes.

The idea of ​​becoming a superhero, fighting criminals, and helping the weak is clearly a lie.

After all, even God cannot expect a born bad person who has no compassion and no reverence for life to be a good person.

The only real possibility in Emma's words is that she wants to go with them.

The water sprite casually said, "I'll go with you too. I have nowhere else to go anyway, and if I go back to the orphanage, I might get sold again."

Mindy nodded. As a little girl bursting with a sense of justice, she was willing to take in the poor little girl, the water sprite, even though the water sprite might be a bit older than her.

Mark breathed a sigh of relief; with the water spirit around, they at least didn't have to worry about being wiped out.

Mark concluded, "So, what we need to do next is solve the food and lodging problem, and then find a suitable orphanage?"

Mindy nodded. She had also noticed Mark's strengths, namely that he was quite good at planning things. Before, when Big Daddy was around, it was always the big boss who made the plans, and all she had to do was execute them.

It seems Mark can now take Big Daddy's place and become the one who sets up the plan.

"That's right," Mindy said with a smile.

Perhaps because they had gone through hardships together, Mark found that Emma, ​​this naturally wicked person, wasn't so bad after all.

"Mindy, do you know any places where you can rent a house without needing an ID card?" Mark asked.

None of them had ID cards for two reasons: first, their previous state ID cards had been cancelled by Abbottan; and second, they did not have driver's licenses or passports.

"You don't need any permits to rent a place deep in Hell's Kitchen, but the security isn't great. You might even hear someone knocking on the door while you're sleeping at night," Mindy complained, adding quietly.

"The government took away the house we used to live in, even though my father had paid rent for several months."

Mark, undeterred, asked, "Do you know anyone in Hell's Kitchen?"

After thinking for a moment, Mindy said, "I know a pawn shop. My father took me there before to exchange stolen goods from the mob for money."

Mark nodded, then fell into thought.

A group of children living in Hell's Kitchen is practically no different from humans living in hell.

Their only reliance now is on Mindy, who possesses a certain level of military power, so the question now is just how much of a deterrent Mindy can exert.

If Hit-Girl's intimidating presence can subdue the pawnshop owner, then they can temporarily solve their money problem.

In America, money can solve almost 99.9% of life's problems.

However, if Hit-Girl's intimidation isn't enough, and the pawnshop owner gets the idea of ​​double-crossing her, then a fierce battle is inevitable.

Mark asked cautiously, "Mindy, are you confident you can handle that pawnshop owner and his men who might have bad intentions?"

"No problem! If they dare to have any bad intentions, I'll send them to hell!" Mindy smiled confidently, then took two submachine guns from the wall next to her.

Having gained confidence, Mark began to make arrangements. "Estelle and Emma, ​​you two stay here and wait for us to return. Mindy, the water sprite, and I will go get the gold and exchange it for money."

Upon hearing that she was to go out with them, a hint of surprise flashed in the water sprite's eyes, but she did not refuse; instead, she smiled and nodded.

Esther and Emma exchanged a glance and nodded, knowing that staying here was the safest option.

Mark's question has already revealed the risks of their trip.

Mark did not take all the gold with him; he only took two gold bars.

If possible, Mark would rather exchange gold for money smoothly than be forced into a double-cross.

Children have their advantages, such as being able to easily squeeze into narrow places.

Some people tried to avoid the crowds and wandered through the alleys.

Mindy's purple hair and eye patch are quite famous in Hell's Kitchen; many gangsters know Big Daddy and Hit-Girl.

Hell's Kitchen has all sorts of people, except for good ones.

As for Hit-Girl and Big Daddy?

In the eyes of the thugs in Hell's Kitchen, these two were the kind of people who were mentally ill.

It is not illegal for a mentally ill person to commit murder, and there is no reason for it. Unless necessary, most people would not think of making things difficult for a mentally ill person who is holding a gun, even if the other party is just a cute and adorable little girl.

Hellhound Pawnshop is sandwiched between a 24-hour self-service laundromat and a shoe repair shop that has long since closed down.

This area is already considered the "edge" of Hell's Kitchen; just one block to the west is the Hudson River—which is why it has survived: it's far from the heart of Hell's Kitchen.

Mindy pushed the door open and entered, while Mark curiously looked around at the pawnshop's layout.

The cabinet contained genuine items such as broken guitars, old jewelry, and second-hand cameras, while a clearly worthless imitation oil painting hung on the wall.

The old man behind the counter also showed a hint of surprise when he saw Mindy.

The news of Big Daddy's death two weeks ago had spread throughout Hell's Kitchen. He thought that Hit-Girl must have also died in some deserted corner, or had already left the hellish place of Hell's Kitchen.

Unexpectedly, the little girl came back after only half a month.
