American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 27 Aerial Assassination!

"It is understood that the person who fell from the department store is most likely the great philanthropist Mr. Wilson Grant Fiske, but the police have not yet made a complete conclusion and it seems that further investigation is underway..."

"Police discovered signs of a pharmaceutical laboratory inside the department store, suggesting that someone was manufacturing drugs there, and it cannot be ruled out that they were the ones who killed Mr. Fisk..."

Bang-!

A large hand smashed the LCD TV in front of him. Kingpin himself sat back on the sofa. From the surroundings, it was clear that this was an extremely luxurious house, but there was one thing that wasn't quite right—

All the windows in this house are high up and locked securely.

Who is it? The film negative? The tombstone? The hammer? Or perhaps the Punisher?

Kingpin sat on the sofa, reflecting on his enemies. Unfortunately, there were too many enemies, and he had no idea who had done it.

He no longer cared about the loss of the experimental personnel and data inside the building, after all, nothing was more important than himself.

After a moment's thought, Kingpin called another of his body doubles, asking him to step in and stop the commotion to prevent his unruly subordinates from suddenly turning against him.

Soon another unknown call came in. Kingpin answered, puffing on his cigar, and asked, "How's it going?"

"The police search results are in."

The voice on the other end was deep and hoarse, making it impossible to tell who was working for Kingpin.

"They and your doubles were all killed by having their throats slit with sharp blades. The people who killed you seem to have climbed in through the window and entered the lab through the ventilation ducts."

Meanwhile, on the day of the incident, one of your men went to retrieve the new drug from the film. They were ambushed at the port, and the wounds of the thugs who died at the film's location were the same as the wounds of your double.

"...Spider-Man?"

Climbing in through the window and through the ventilation duct, Kingpin's first thought was of the superheroes who had been getting in his way for the past few months, but he quickly shook his head; their behavior didn't match up.

Sure enough, the person who was supposed to meet him immediately denied it: "On the night the incident happened, Spider-Man was fighting a group of robbers, and he was far away from your building. He didn't have time to commit the crime."

After listening to the man on the other end of the phone, Kingpin remained silent for a moment. The contact then asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Hmph, it's just that a stand-in died. The new stand-in will come forward soon to explain everything. Keep an eye on the police station for me, and let me know immediately if there's any discovery."

After hanging up the phone, Jin rubbed his fleshy face with his large fingers. Another call came in, which made his expression instantly serious.

There are only a handful of people who know his phone number and can call him freely.

Pick up the specially made phone, and a black background with a red six-legged octopus appears on it, with the octopus head replaced by a skull.

Hydra...

Kingpin snorted and answered the phone, his tone softening slightly, as if he were somewhat frightened: "Is there something you need, Mr. P?"

"I'm just asking if you're dead, Mr. Kingpin."

The voice on the other end of the phone was also extremely deep, it seems that voice changers like this tone: "Since you're not dead, I want to ask you if you can bring me what I want."

"The mercenaries I sent have mysteriously disappeared. It seems they were stopped by superheroes, and they haven't been able to take any action for a while to prevent our contact from being discovered..."

Don't worry, I've already hired new mercenaries, and I'll bring the Chinese man you wanted.

"Great. If you really can't finish it, remember to let me know and I'll find someone else to do it."

Unable to discern the other person's emotions, the call was abruptly ended. Kingpin, enraged, smashed another cup and called his double again, whispering, "Call Demon Slayer and Bullseye, tell them to go and capture them."

……

Li Buying was unaware that trouble was approaching. He watched the news on TV, put the dumbbells aside, went upstairs from the training room to take a shower, took a sip of a drink from the refrigerator, and just as he sat down, the task bar popped up.

====

Mission: [Defeat the Enemy]

After you retaliated against Kingpin, Kingpin, still furious, received a message from his employer that he was to send men to arrest you again.

Kill them all.

Task Reward: Spider Silk Upgrade - Hardness Adjustment.

====

Additional upgrades?

"So my Spider-Man abilities are just the basic version; I need to draw cards to upgrade them?"

Li Buying raised her eyebrows, sprang up from the sofa, changed her clothes, pulled down her mask in front of the mirror, and after disguising herself, rushed out of the house. Only after arriving at the top of the building did she ponder how to find those guys.

However, he soon didn't need to look for them himself anymore. Under the cover of night, two menacing-looking figures were approaching. Judging from their strange attire, they were probably villains with names.

Watching them approach, Li Buying confirmed that they were heading in her direction and decisively jumped off the roof, quickly closing in on them, already holding an M1911 in her hand.

Wands are useful in some ways, but this thing is better for attack speed and surprise attacks.

Aiming at the mercenary whose head was half covered by a blue glass dome, Li Buying opened fire immediately, the bullet flying towards one of the mercenaries.

The moment the gun went off, the guy called the Demon Slayer had no time to react, but ordinary people can only be faster than their hands, how could they be faster than a gun?

The bullet pierced the back of his head, and Tu Mo fell to the ground before he could even react. On the other side, the person with a target drawn on his head widened his eyes and instantly darted into the alley, disappearing from Li Buying's sight.

====

[Demon Slayer] has been killed. Current remaining enemy: Bullseye.

====

Putting away her gun, Li Buying quickly climbed up the wall, jumped onto the roof, and flicked her fingers to launch her hidden sword towards the guy named Bullseye.

Arriving at the alley where Bullseye was, I looked down and saw Bullseye peeking out to observe the outside of the alley. I never imagined that a guy who kills people with a gun would climb to such a high rooftop.

Li Buying tumbled from the rooftop, plummeting straight down from the sky. He raised his hidden blade, aimed it at Bullseye's neck, and swung it forward with lightning speed once he reached the closest point!

Aerial assassination!

Li Buying's killing intent was only released when the hidden sword was less than ten centimeters away. Due to years of fighting, Bullseye, who had developed a kind of intuitive ability, widened his eyes and his body moved before his consciousness. However, it was already too late.

The blade pierced through skin and flesh, plunging deep into his throat. Daredevil's nemesis was killed by an unseen enemy before he could even unleash his most exquisite throwing skills.

Before he died, he wanted to look back and see who had killed him, the poisoned thorn hidden in his mouth already poised to strike.

But Li Buying didn't give him that chance. He didn't even want to talk. He forcefully slashed his sleeve sword, causing blood to gush out!

====

Task completed, reward issued.

====

After throwing the body on the ground, Li Buying straightened her clothes and turned to leave. After a moment, she paused to think about whether she should leave some evidence of the crime.

Forget it, the more you do, the more mistakes you'll make.

Li Buying shook his head slightly, preparing to put the training of Apparition on the agenda. When he appeared in the two areas, no one would suspect that he had any connection with the Weaver who killed these guys.
