In America, my cousin, Supergirl Kara...

"So, the 'big job' you're talking about is dragging me along to deliver takeout?"

Li Xiao placed the pizza in front of a security door and returned to the passenger seat.

After spending half an hour changing the pickup truck's fuse, the old car was finally able to move. However, Li Xiao did not expect that Kara would drive the car to McDonald's to pick up his food.

He delivered 8 orders from morning to noon, with a net profit of $50, which was not as much as people online claimed.

"Don't look at me like that. Without me, you wouldn't even be able to get into the community with your mixed-race face. Not everyone can do this kind of work."

Kara scrolled through the order-taking app on her phone, rolled her eyes at Li Xiao, and turned off the car stereo.

"Alright, at least I made some money."

Li Xiao pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped the grease off his wrists. He had basically taken care of all the car repair work, while Kara just talked to him, leaving his hands sticky.

"Fuck, save it!"

Kara snatched the roll of paper and glared angrily at Li Xiao.

"bite"

Kara's phone rang. She unlocked the screen, tapped away furiously, and her face lit up with excitement.

"Look what I snagged! A whole $300 order! At least $100 profit in hand, thank God!"

Kara made the sign of the cross on her chest, then stomped on the gas pedal. A strong push-back sensation hit her, and Li Xiao instinctively gripped the handlebars tightly.

The two rushed to a Black restaurant, which was the takeout order shown on the platform.

Li Xiao weighed the plastic bag in his hand; the weight seemed a bit off. Before he could even check it with his hearing, Kara, her face dark with anger, dragged him into the car.

"Take this, and remember to wear your hat and mask."

Kara handed an iron rod to Li Xiao, and then stuffed a plastic bag into his hand.

Li Xiao looked down and saw that there was a button on the rod. He pressed it casually, and sparks flew from the two metal protrusions at the top of the iron rod.

"Keep it safe. If things get really bad, just take it out and use it. The voltage inside can knock an adult down in two seconds."

Li Xiao noticed that Kara's face looked quite sour.

"Do you know something inside?"

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, that restaurant should be a contact point for some gang. We've unfortunately become transfer personnel this time. We should keep quiet and not look around. This might save our lives. Damn it, we thought we got a great deal."

Kara was driving with one hand, muttering curses under her breath, but her expression had returned to calm.

"Then why did you answer?"

"Idiot, don't even think about leaving that store if you don't take the call today."

Li Xiao had to admit that his cousin was quite composed; he hadn't noticed anything amiss when they were getting the food.

"And what about you? What will you use the stun gun with?"

"Me? This will do."

A pistol was placed on the armrest box, and the warmth in Li Xiao's heart instantly turned to ice.

……

The vehicle drove through a narrow alley, and the pickup truck's rearview mirrors were scraped by the walls on both sides, but for this old car, it was just a matter of removing rust.

The car soon stopped in an open space. The two didn't speak to each other the whole way, and when they got out of the car, they tacitly put on baseball caps and masks.

Li Xiao fumbled for the stun gun at his waist and closed the car door.

In front of us was a shantytown surrounded by an iron fence, with only one door in the middle, through which we could vaguely see two low watchtowers.

It's hard to imagine that in Seattle, a highly urbanized metropolis, Hooverville, a remnant of the Great Depression, still exists.

Two dark-skinned youths stood guard at the door, nodding and shaking their heads while wearing headphones.

Hearing the roar of a car engine, the two took off their headphones and followed the sound.

"Who the hell let you come here? This is the Crippled Gang's territory!"

"The delivery address on the platform is here."

Karachong gave Li Xiao a wink, and Li Xiao stepped forward and handed over the takeout information.

His gaze unconsciously swept over the two people's hands; their knuckles were swollen and perforated, and through the wounds, one could see the greenish bone. When he got close, a putrid stench emanated from them that even their masks couldn't block.

Li Xiao subconsciously held his breath.

The two Black men stared at each other for a moment, then turned their backs.

Li Xiao secretly activated his super hearing ability, and the two whispered words immediately echoed in his ears.

"Isn't this the batch of antibiotics the boss wanted? Should we take it or not?"

"Take it, and remember to hurry."

Something seems off. A look of doubt flashed in Li Xiao's eyes as he glanced back at Kara, whose face remained expressionless.

The two quickly turned around and snatched the plastic bag.

"That's right, this is what we ordered. Come with us, after all, we have to leave a tip, right?"

The two men grinned sinisterly and walked towards the gate. Li Xiao and Kara followed behind, with Li Xiao taking a few steps back to avoid the strong smell.

Just as he reached the door, the two black guards suddenly turned and ran, brushing past Li Xiao in the blink of an eye.

Is this a scheme to abscond with the medicine?

Li Xiao looked bewildered; who would have thought that the gatekeepers were two traitors?

If those two bros really get away, he and Kara will definitely be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao decisively swung a sweeping leg and kicked out.

Boom!

The two black men were kicked over and fell face down on the ground, sprawling on their backs. Li Xiao then snatched the food box from them.

Boom!

A piercing sonic boom exploded beside him, and blood splattered from the bodies of two black men who had fallen to the ground. Li Xiao could even hear the muffled sound of bullets hitting the soil through their bodies.

The two bodies twitched a few times and then fell still, with blood slowly flowing out.

"Come in!"

Li Xiao didn't even need to look to sense that someone was aiming a gun at them. The two shots he had just fired were a warning; if anyone dared to have any improper thoughts, the dead bodies on the ground would be their fate.

The door was opened, and several tattooed black men, all wearing blue headscarves, coldly pointed guns at him and Kara.

Unsure if he could take down the two instantly if he acted now, Li Xiao quickly considered the situation. His ears, like antennas, picked up all the sounds around him. With his super hearing, he could hear everything around him: the roar of machines, the bubbling of bubbles, and the hissing of chemical reagents reacting. This was clearly a drug manufacturing den.

But soon, a sound of pistons rubbing together caught his attention. "Quisai... Oh yes... Tony baby."

Li Xiao quietly wrote down the name.

Like prisoners being escorted, Li Xiao and Kara were led into the shantytown with guns pressed against their backs.

After walking through dilapidated alleyways, they were led to a basketball court.

In the middle of the stadium stood a gallows with a bloodied and mangled black man hanging on it, surrounded by gang members, all of them black.

Another traitor?

Li Xiao looked closely and realized that his headscarf was red.

The man's back skin was peeled off, spread out bloodily like a cobra, and the edges were firmly nailed to the frame with wire.

A burly, middle-aged Latino man in a brown suit was using a knife to carve into the man's back. His muscular face wore a contented smile as he occasionally tore off a piece of flesh and tossed it to the pit bull beside him.

[Child of Krypton, you've joined the Masked Association]

You've encountered Black Mask physically assaulting a rival penguin gang.

Roman, the leader of the Masked Association, nicknamed Black Mask, comes from the Siennis family. Disgusted by his parents' hypocrisy, he ran away from his family and founded his own gang. He has an extremely strong desire to control the members of the organization, is ruthless, enjoys torturing others, and is cunning.

[Mission: Make the villain pay the price without using violence]

[Reward: Spirit +2]

From the vaguely discernible group of middle-aged Latin Americans surrounding him, it's clear that the executioner is "Black Mask," the leader of the Crippled Gang.

His gaze swept quickly across the area, revealing heavily armed bandits all around, with a sniper rifle set up in the nearby dairy shed.

Seeing the fierce gazes around him, Li Xiao twisted his neck.

Good heavens, there's no escaping this way.
