Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Chapter 80 Do you even understand the value of an adamantium skull?

But the Hand's attitude suddenly changed, and this matter is worth investigating.

He knew all too well what the Hand was. If the Hand suddenly showed Hammerhead a kindness that was even closer than that of a father, it meant that the Hand must have suffered a loss at the hands of Hammerhead or the forces behind him.

And it's the kind of situation where you can't get revenge.

That's how people from these archipelagic nations are; they're incredibly weak-willed, once they kneel down, they have a hard time getting back up, yet they excel at overpowering their superiors.

He was always extremely cautious when cooperating with the Hand, fearing that those beasts would stab him in the back.

"Get me a new desk." Kingpin said this and left the office. He went to another office and took out his phone to dial a mysterious number.

The call connected, and Kingpin said in a hoarse voice, "Sloan, you should repay that favor."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, clearly not expecting Kingpin to be so direct.

"What do you want me to do?" Sloan asked.

Kingpin said, "I need you to kill a few people for me. The first one is Hammerhead from the Hammerhead family in Hell's Kitchen."

Sloan nodded. "No problem."

Kingpin's request wasn't unreasonable; he was just a mob boss in Hell's Kitchen, which was better than assassinating those powerful figures.

"I will pay the commission as usual. I may need to use your Brotherhood for some time to come," Kingpin added.

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, Sloan's expressionless face showed a hint of joy.

"As long as you pay enough, the Brotherhood can keep killing for you," Sloan said with a smile.

"It would be a pleasure to work with you then," Kingpin said before hanging up the phone.

The call ended, and Kingpin sneered, "Hammerhead, you know nothing about the real underworld. Where do you get the nerve to provoke me? You're a fool who's been sold out and still helps the seller count the money!"

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Hell's Kitchen has been very calm these past two days, as calm as the calm before a storm.

In the "Hard-Willed" Chinese restaurant in Hell's Kitchen.

Hammerhead forced a ferocious smile: "Mr. Alexandra, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Alexandra asked expressionlessly, "When will Erica be sent back?"

-

The Hand suffered a major blow this time, giving up almost half of the North American market, but for Erica's sake, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

What's most crucial is that his sphere of influence is North America. This deal may seem like a huge loss for the Hand, but in reality, he's the one paying the price.

The five fingers within the Hand may seem to have cooperated for centuries, but their relationship is more about scheming and self-interest.

Therefore, he dared not let Madam Gao and the others pay the price for this transaction, because he was afraid of being isolated by the other four.

Hammerhead, a wicked grin on his face, said smugly, "Our boss said you'd be able to see Erica once the deal is finalized, but I think the deal isn't complete until my people take over your channels."

As a qualified subordinate, one must learn to take the blame for what is wrong with superiors. For example, Alexandra's lips twitched slightly when she heard these words.

If it were a week ago, and Hammerhead dared to be so arrogant in front of him, he would have immediately turned the other man's hammerhead into a hammer.

Suppressing the urge to kill the man in front of her, Alexandra stood up with a cold snort: "Hurry up and send your men to take over. I've already given the order; the deal must be completed as soon as possible." After saying this, Alexandra stormed off.

Watching the other person storm off, Hammerhead's lips curled up slightly, and he thought smugly, "The boss was right after all. That female assassin named Erica is indeed quite important to the Opponents Association."

After Alexandra left, Hammerhead didn't linger in the restaurant, since he wasn't used to the tastes of Asians.

Just as Hammerhead and his henchmen were leaving the Chinese restaurant and about to get into their car, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Bang~

Just as Hammerhead was about to get into the car, a burst of blood suddenly appeared on his forehead. A bullet, fired from an unknown direction, had accurately struck Hammerhead's forehead.

Hammerhead, who had been blown in the head, instantly plunged into the car.

"Sniper! Cover the boss!"

Some of the more loyal subordinates quickly formed a human wall to surround the hammer in the car.

Hammerhead said weakly, "Close the door quickly and drive away from here."

For a normal person, being shot in the head with a sniper rifle is certain death, but a hammer is different; more precisely, it's the location of the shot that matters.

The reason it's called a hammerhead is because of its awesome adamantium skull.

Being shot in the head by a sniper rifle may seem fatal, but for Hammerhead, it was just a superficial wound; the bullet couldn't even penetrate his skull.

The reason he was so weak was because the impact of the sniper bullet had shaken his head, and he now had a mild concussion.

One kilometer away.

Firefox, who had been setting up her sniper rifle, lowered it and muttered under her breath with a slight frown, "Fuck! Sloan, you didn't tell me that guy was a superhuman, and that even a sniper rifle couldn't penetrate his head."

Firefox quickly got up and left the building after putting away her gun. Although she was quite far from Hammerhead, as an assassin, it was necessary to flee far away if the first strike failed.

Inside the Brotherhood leader's office.

Sloan's lips twitched slightly; the information Kingpin delivered was a little late.

"But the impact shouldn't be too great, right?" Sloan thought to himself, somewhat uncertainly.

Firefox must have assassinated the target with a sniper rifle; even if the mission failed, he could have easily escaped unscathed.

"Hopefully Firefox has broken her habit of headshotting people," Sloan prayed silently.

Just as Sloan was praying to God that Firefox would change his habits today, Firefox, carrying a sniper rifle, stormed in and kicked the door open.

Upon entering, Firefox roared, "Sloan! The information you provided is flawed! That guy's head is made of some kind of thing; even a sniper rifle can't penetrate it. That guy is a superhuman!"

She used Firefox to snipe a gang leader, but she still failed.

If this gets out, her fellow fraternity members will probably laugh at her for a whole year.

"I'm sorry, this was my oversight," Sloan said quickly and sincerely upon seeing the situation.

These members of the fraternity were his "bread and butter," and he cared a lot about their attitudes, especially Firefox, who was an elite member of the fraternity.

Extremely dissatisfied, Firefox said, "I need more complete information. I don't want to make the same mistake twice."

Sloan quickly handed the documents in his hand to Firefox.

"All the information you need is here. Hammerhead isn't a superhuman; he just replaced his skull with a special alloy skull. I suggest you shoot him in the heart next time you make your move."

Firefox's lips twitched slightly as he took the documents, inwardly cursing that the gang leader named Iron Head was seriously mentally ill.

What normal person would replace their skull with an adamantium alloy skull? And if you already have adamantium alloy, wouldn't it be better to use it to forge a suit of armor?

With a wave of disdain, Firefox took the documents and left Sloan's office without looking back. She was busy getting revenge and didn't have time to waste with Sloan.

With his head wrapped in bandages, Hammerhead, having finally stopped the bleeding from his wound, quickly reported the situation to Mark.

"Boss, that bastard Kingpin has made his move. He sent a top assassin to kill me. If that assassin hadn't been unfamiliar with me, I might have been killed."

Mark wasn't surprised to hear this. In fact, if King hadn't sent assassins to kill Hammerhead, he felt that Kingpin was brewing an even bigger conspiracy.

"A top assassin? Do you know the background of that assassin?" Mark asked.

"I don't know, but the other party accurately shot me in the head from two kilometers away. Fortunately, my skull is made of adamantium, which is why I barely escaped this fate."

"But I'm not sure if I can dodge their assassination attempt next time. After all, if they snipe me again, they might be aiming for my heart."

"A precise sniper shot from two kilometers away." Mark's lips twitched slightly.

This damn world is truly full of talented people; even an assassin who appeared out of nowhere has such abilities.

Mark ordered, "Then don't give them a chance. Go investigate that assassin. Once you've found out, I'll take action."

Upon hearing that Mark was willing to help, Hammerhead immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, boss. I'll get on it right away."

"That's all," Mark said before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mark contacted the members of Shadow Touch and asked them to help look for it as well.

Hammerhead cannot die now, at least not now.

Until a replacement for the hammer is found, it is irreplaceable.

Inside the Trident Building, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Sharon Carter hung up the phone thoughtfully after listening to her cousin's report.

Dr. Banner was surprisingly present at this company, and what's most interesting is that Dr. Banner actually had contact with Dr. Stern.

His understanding of Dr. Banner was still limited to his superficial identity as an Avengers member and Mark's loyal henchman.

In the future, this Avengers member will save the world in the Battle of New York and then officially become a member of the Avengers.

But not long after, Hulk went berserk again, and the Avengers had to kick this unstable element out of the team.

Later, for some unknown reason, Hulk joined a secret military department and became a loyal henchman of Mark's faction.

Normally, given Dr. Banner's personality, it's unlikely he would become a politician's henchman, even if that person is his father-in-law, let alone Mark, who isn't even his father-in-law.

"Was it because they were already in contact, or was it a butterfly effect I caused?" Sharon Carter pondered thoughtfully.

Mark called Hulk the strongest warrior on Earth. Even in the Avengers, Hulk is the strongest. The only one who can fight him is Thor from Asgard.

But even Thor couldn't defeat the Hulk in a head-on fight.

Sharon Carter naturally wanted to recruit such top-tier combat talent to her own cause.

But she also knew her own limitations; she couldn't possibly make Dr. Banner obey her. If it were that easy to subdue Dr. Banner, he would have joined S.H.I.E.L.D. long ago.

So now she only has two choices.

Should I get involved?

If she doesn't intervene, Hulk will most likely remain Mark's man in the future. But if she does intervene, she might have a chance to bring him into S.H.I.E.L.D.
