He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

This situation is actually quite obvious.

Daredevil was just confirming it.

If the other party can control cats, dogs, or even other animals, then he is not an ordinary criminal handling a crime scene, but a super criminal.

“I provided them with food for a week in exchange for their temporary loyalty.” After answering Daredevil’s question, Otto shook his head slightly upon seeing the man’s shocked expression. “There’s no need to worry about that. I’m not your enemy. These people came in fully armed to kill us, but the boss killed them instead. We acted in self-defense.”

Chapter Twenty-Two: Eavesdropping

Daredevil's true identity is a blind lawyer named Matt Murdock.

He suffered an accident in his childhood that caused him to lose his sight, but his other senses became more acute as a result.

Its hearing is particularly remarkable.

They can hear the flapping of insects nearby, the faint whispers from more than a dozen blocks away, and even judge whether someone is lying by their heartbeat.

Therefore, he knew that Otto was telling the truth.

But it is precisely because of this that I am surprised and indignant.

They were astonished that Otto could communicate with cats and dogs and hire them to serve him with food; they were also outraged that Otto was so calm about killing at such a young age.

Even if he was only responsible for disposing of the bodies, his calm demeanor clearly indicated that he was used to this kind of work.

How many times does it take to become so nonchalant?

This time it was a self-defense counterattack, but what about before?

Ultimately, it's unlikely that so many heavily armed men would come knocking on the door for reasons like burglary!

Furthermore, if it was simply a matter of self-defense, why didn't you call the police and instead handle the aftermath yourself?

Ultimately, it must be because they did something shady!

Many thoughts flashed by in an instant.

Matt has already identified Otto and his boss as criminals involved in illegal activities and is preparing to send them to jail.

But he had no evidence, so he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he probed, "What do you do?"

"We are the Yorozuya!"

As Otto spoke, he took a business card from his pocket with his barely dry right hand. “Whether it’s finding something, hiring thugs, gathering information, transporting goods, treating injuries… we’ll do anything as long as you pay. Mr. Daredevil, you can come to us if you need help in the future!”

No wonder they were attacked by heavily armed men!

Matt understood immediately, but remained outwardly calm as he took the business card and continued, "Really, you'll do anything? What about illegal things?"

"It's not like we do everything!"

Hearing this, Matt breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that things haven't reached the point of no return yet.

"The boss is a bit capricious in business. He'll take on commissions he likes, but he won't take on commissions he doesn't like no matter how much money they offer. It all depends on his mood."

"..."

Matt fell silent.

He thought that Boss Otto had some kind of bottom line for accepting missions, but he didn't expect it to be entirely based on his mood.

This kind of person is more terrifying than those who have no moral bottom line.

Because you can prevent people from having no moral compass.

And a guy who acts entirely on impulse, you never know when he might do something crazy.

Sure enough, we should find evidence of their crimes and send them to prison!

Matt took a deep breath, just about to try and get information out of him, when Otto continued, "However, although it's said to depend on his mood, I think the boss still bases his decision on whether or not to do something on his own code of conduct."

"Ok?"

Matt paused for a moment, then asked, "Why do you say that?"

“In the past, many people would come to me with commissions, but the boss wouldn’t take on any of the unpleasant tasks, no matter how much the offer was. On the contrary, he would take on tasks that were very pleasant, even if the commission was only enough to buy two hamburgers.”

"After all that talk, doesn't it all still depend on your mood?"

"No, I think it depends on the level of morality."

"Moral standards?"

“That’s right.” Otto nodded. “Although most of the missions are illegal, they don’t make people feel that there’s anything wrong with doing them. On the contrary, they make people feel that doing them is the only right thing to do.”

"Nonsense!" Matt snapped. "What illegal thing is ever considered right?"

"Isn't that what Daredevil is doing?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Matt fell silent again.

Yes, although he is a superhero and a vigilante, there is no law that says what he is doing is legal.

Even so, he believed he was right, and the people of Hell's Kitchen acknowledged his existence and hoped for more superheroes like him to maintain peace.

In contrast, Liezi was Jin Bing.

This underworld tycoon, who committed countless evil deeds, appeared in the media as a law-abiding businessman and philanthropist who helped others, and was cheered and supported by both the political and public circles.

But what about him?

He used his enormous influence as a businessman and philanthropist to bind his interests with those of many American institutions, using coercion and bribery to control important figures in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. He committed countless illegal and heinous acts, yet no one dared to investigate, and no investigation could uncover any results.

Because everything he does is legal (he won't leave any evidence against himself).

Law is the minimum standard of morality, not a creed for measuring all right and wrong. Law is a weapon to protect the interests of the people, but it can also become a weapon for some to plunder others.

If someone constantly talks about obeying the law, they are definitely a scoundrel to the core, and you should stay away from them.

"Anyway, if you need anything in the future, you can try coming here. Maybe the owner will be interested?" Otto said, then turned and went back to the shop, and the cats and dogs dispersed on their own.

Matt remained silent for a moment, then leaped away, scaling walls and rooftops.

He didn't go far, but stayed on the roof of a building on the next street to listen in.

This Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) seems different from what I initially imagined; it's not the kind of place that would do anything crazy for money.

But whether it's good or bad, he still can't be sure.

So, I'd like to learn more about it.

He activated radar mode, and countless sounds flooded his ears as he monitored every move inside the Yorozuya.

But he didn't notice that several birds were perched on the roof of the building, staring intently at him.

No, Daredevil's abilities couldn't have gone unnoticed.

He just didn't realize it.

Because he overheard a secret conversation between four people in two different places.

"Mission failed!"

"Squad J has been completely wiped out. The target is currently shopping in the central district and appears to be unharmed!"

"An unexpected person has appeared near the mission target. They just had contact with Daredevil and are suspected of being able to control stray cats and dogs!"

"The mission objectives need to be reassessed. We will retreat for now and await the formulation of a new plan!"

"Understood, sir!"

……

"Gu Qing's Odd Jobs Shop was attacked, and an unfamiliar person is handling the aftermath!"

"That person had just made contact with Daredevil and is suspected to be a superhuman who can command stray cats and dogs. There was no further conflict between the two."

"That person has the key to the Yorozuya and seems to know Gu Qing."

"Gu Qing has been located in the central urban area, and the target is safe and sound."

"What should we do now?"

"First, find out who was in the Yorozuya. Then, send someone to contact Daredevil to find out what they talked about. Also, find out who attacked Gu Qing as soon as possible!"

"Understood, sir!"

……

……

Both groups of people were communicating using communicators.

Daredevil listened to every word and, from the content and tone of their words, roughly understood their stance. His expression darkened.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Tony Stark

Both sides used the word "commander" in their conversations, and considering the tone of the military reporting missions, it's not hard to guess that the other side is a militarized organization.

Within the United States, there are many militarized organizations.

Aside from official agencies, many security companies also recruit recently retired soldiers and implement military-style management.

However, security companies are generally only responsible for security matters and would not engage in stalking or assassination. These two forces must belong to official military institutions.

Is it the FBI or the CIA?

Or is it directly the military?

Moreover, since they are both official institutions, why would one side attempt assassination while the other chooses to monitor and protect?

Did the two departments disagree and then take separate actions?

What exactly did that boss do that warranted being watched and assassinated by two official military organizations?

"No, I was wrong from the very beginning."
