He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

“One bite is enough.” After saying that, Gu Qing looked at Otto curiously and asked, “Feel your body, are there any other changes?”

"change?"

Otto raised his arms in confusion, examining his body.

Then, as if sensing something, an invisible stance unfolded.

Suddenly, everything fell silent.

The sounds of the air, stray cats rummaging through trash cans, people shouting and footsteps—all the sounds of the outside world disappeared.

"Looks like it's a success." Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, we'll keep the soundproof barrier on in the store. Well, just block out sounds coming out of the store; we don't need to block out sounds coming in from outside."

"Okay, boss."

Otto nodded, but didn't make any move. The sounds from outside came in again.

—The Fruit of Silence!

Devil Fruits from the world of "One Piece" cause the user to become unable to swim, but also grant them strange and wonderful abilities.

The user of the Silence-Silence Fruit is Shizune.

He can create an invisible barrier, like a soundproof wall, to block external sounds from entering or prevent sounds from escaping from within the barrier.

Most importantly, this ability consumes very little physical strength, and it will not be a burden even if it is activated 24 hours a day, perfectly countering Daredevil's abilities.

"That way we won't have to worry about that guy anymore!"

Gu Qing nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the PSP and started playing.

……

Zhongcheng United Company.

In the conference room on the top floor, all the gang leaders of Hell's Kitchen were gathered, and the atmosphere was as heavy as could be.

"Did he really say that?"

After listening to Wesley's words, Mrs. Gao asked a question, and the translator immediately translated her words into English.

Wesley nodded quickly after hearing this, "Yes, those are his exact words, I didn't embellish them at all."

"Hmph, just a bunch of newly emerged mafia members, yet they dare to say such things!" The Japanese yakuza boss "Shin" sneered, "Not only do they not give us face, but they even dare to talk about unifying all the American mafia. Who do they think they are?"

"This isn't the time to discuss this!"

Russian mafia boss "Vladimir" said, "My men make a living by human trafficking and transportation. The Vongola family's prohibition of these two businesses is cutting off my livelihood!"

"Don't worry, it will be resolved."

Madam Gao narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in her cloudy vision.

As one of the five fingers of the Hand, she has lived for five hundred years and has seen all kinds of storms.

The Vongola prohibits drug trafficking and human trafficking... The former hinders her revenge, and the latter hinders her immortality. How can she give up?

"...Their attitude is firm, so it seems impossible to resolve this through negotiation." Kingpin pondered for a while and then said, "But they are also a mafia that unified the Harlem district's gangs by force, so it would be difficult to win if we resorted to violence."

“I heard that Water Snake’s sister is a state representative for Harlem!” Wesley said at this moment.

Kingpin's eyes lit up, and he smiled confidently. "Looks like we've found a solution!"

Chapter Forty: Deaths

An abandoned factory in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

An Asian woman introduced herself: "My name is Melinda May, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'm here because of the recent cannibalism case."

Upon hearing the purpose of the visit, Blade narrowed his eyes.

He knew about S.H.I.E.L.D., and had even crossed paths with Fury.

Just as he was gaining fame for hunting vampires, Fury found him and invited him to join S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special forces unit, the Howling Commandos.

As for the outcome, he naturally refused without hesitation.

His ideal was to take revenge on the vampires, not to maintain world peace, nor did he feel that his actions were saving humanity.

Nevertheless, he learned about this official organization dedicated to investigating, monitoring, and containing supernatural events, and was deeply impressed by it.

After a moment of silence, Blade said, "...I advise you not to provoke that monster."

Although May only said she was there to investigate the cannibalism case, he could roughly guess from the news that Lei, whom he had met last night, was the murderer in the cannibalism case, and he could also roughly guess that S.H.I.E.L.D. was there to inquire about Lei's situation.

But out of goodwill, he still gave a friendly reminder before recounting the information.

Blade has a good impression of this organization that dares to venture into the extraordinary world as an ordinary person in order to protect the world.

This well-intentioned reminder confirmed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s suspicions about Blade's intrusion into the villa last night, causing May's expression to become more serious.

Could you elaborate on the specifics?

"The specifics..."

Blade recalled his encounter with Lei last night and remained silent for a while before saying, "That was a spider-like creature. Although it was in human form, it was pale all over and had spider markings on its body. It could shoot out tough and sharp spider silk like a spider."

In addition, he is very strong physically. His strength, speed and nerve reflexes are no less than mine. His skin is so tough that it is impossible to cut it with a sword. His powerful regenerative ability far surpasses that of a vampire. He can recover from a puncture in almost a second.

Honestly, if that guy hadn't been out of his mind, I doubt he would have gotten away unscathed yesterday!

Is it really that strong?

Mei's eyes flickered slightly, as if she could hardly believe it.

Although it is said to be extraordinary, it is still a human being in flesh and blood. Can it really do that level?

"It's stronger than I said, no weaker!" Blade took a deep breath and said, "If you want to deal with that guy, you'd better find his weakness first before you act."

Hearing this, Mei sighed, "I'm just a gofer. How to do it depends on the decision from above. If the higher-ups are willing to sacrifice a lot of agents' lives to take action rashly, there's nothing I can do."

She had already stepped down to a back-office role and was doing clerical work, but Fury still asked her to contact Blade.

Although this also represents her boss's trust in her, she genuinely doesn't want to continue living like this.

"Then I can only wish you good luck." Blade shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"And you?" Mei asked, looking at Blade. "If you run into a guy like that, are you planning to avoid him from now on, or are you going to find a way to beat him up?"

"Is that even a question?"

A cold smile appeared on Blade's face.

"Ok!"

Mei nodded, indicating that she understood.

He then continued, "Frey told me to tell you that there might be more than thirteen of those guys, and he's planning an operation against those ghosts. He might need your help then!"

“A ghost…” Blade muttered the information Mei had revealed, saying, “It seems you’ve already gathered quite a bit of information about that kind of guy.”

"We're not going to sit idly by either. We've already found some of their weaknesses. Are you coming then?"

"If it's just a temporary collaboration, no problem."

"Then let's get in touch!"

"Ok!"

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Tri-Wing Building.

"...That's all the possible scenarios."

After the whole story was recounted, Barton shut his mouth and waited patiently for Fury's reaction.

Fury rested his right hand on the desk, his left hand stroking his chin in deep thought. After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at Barton: "I understand the details. I will arrange the negotiations."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Agent Patton!"

Barton nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the office.

After watching him leave, Fury turned to Hill and said, "Go and prepare yourself. I'm going to meet the tenth boss of the Vongola family tomorrow."

“Isn’t this too dangerous?” Hill said. “None of us know whether their so-called negotiations are genuine or a trap.”

“This can’t be a trap,” Fury said confidently. “Apart from the mentally ill, people’s behavior follows certain rules, regardless of their strength or weakness. We’re overcomplicating things.”

And so what if it's a trap?

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is backed by the UN Security Council. If a director is lost, another can be appointed; it's not a big deal."

"..."

Hill was speechless.

……

Time passed slowly, and the clock soon struck midnight.

"Is 15,000 wish points worth it...?"

After glancing at the data on the system panel, Gu Qing pondered for a moment and decided to draw a prize directly.

"Let's test the waters with 5,000 wish points and try our luck at drawing items!"

There aren't many big names appearing in Marvel right now, so the puppets used to attract attention and earn wish points are enough for now. Therefore, Gu Qing directly draws items.

As the prayer points were deducted, system notifications rang in my mind one after another.

[Ding! You have obtained indigo hairspray!]

[Ding! You've obtained Orange's glasses!]

[Ding! You have obtained Naruto's goggles!]

[Ding! You have obtained...]
