He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Beside Jessica, a man in a red bodysuit spoke silently.

There were three people standing on each side of him and Jessica.

A blond, blue-eyed handsome man, a bald black man, and a middle-aged man with short hair wearing a bulletproof vest.

They are the Defenders League.

The so-called Defenders Alliance is an organization formed by several superhumans from Hell's Kitchen to protect the lives and property of civilians.

They are Daredevil Matt, Power Rangers Luke, Iron Fist Danny, and Jessica Jones (hero names have been abandoned).

As for the last one, he is the Punisher Frank, the guy in the bulletproof vest.

He did not join the Defenders because his beliefs differed from those of the other heroes.

But he acknowledges these heroes.

Furthermore, they share the same goal in dealing with Kingpin.

Therefore, when Daredevil notified him, he felt it immediately.

"I was at the law firm when I suddenly heard the fighting, so I rushed over, and that's what you see here," Matt explained to his teammates.

Jessica, however, was getting impatient.

She waved her hand and said, "Whatever the reason, Kingpin and his men are now in a tough fight. If we join the battle now, we can tip the scales of victory in an instant."

“That’s what I thought too,” Daredevil said silently. “But from their conversation, I learned the intruder’s identity: he is Hibari Kyoya, the Cloud Guardian of the Vongola Family.”

"The Vongola Family?"

Danny turned his head and looked over, asking questioningly, "What's that?"

“They’re the new Mafia!” Luke said gravely. “Just the day before yesterday, they suddenly arrived in Harlem and took control of the local gangs!”

"If that's the case, let's just take them both out."

Frank said coldly as he assembled the sniper rifle.

Luke turned to look at Frank, his brow furrowed slightly.

He always felt that this guy was too murderous and not a good person.

Even though he desperately needed strength to deal with Kingpin, he didn't want to cooperate with that guy.

But the Punisher was hired by Matt.

He trusts Matt, so he trusts this guy too.

Seeing that he spoke with murderous intent, Luke still advised, "The Vongola family is said to have six guardians. If the Cloud Guardian has such great power, then the other guardians must not be much worse."

Two days ago, when they were fighting with other gangs, I saw two guys display incredible strength.

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and added, "Besides, I don't want to deal with the Vongola Family."

"Why?" Jessica looked at her, puzzled. "Are you afraid of their power?"

“If I were afraid of the enemy’s power, I wouldn’t have formed the Defenders with you!” Luke said angrily, glaring at Jessica. “The reason I don’t want to deal with the Vongola is because they brought order to Harlem. There are no drugs or human trafficking there now.”

Moreover, due to the unity of the gangs, public security will continue to improve.

If the Vongola Family is destroyed, Harlem will revert to its former state.

"But they are the Mafia!"

Frank threw the assembled sniper rifle on the ground, turned and glared at Luke with displeasure, "According to your logic, does that mean we also have to go protect Kingpin?"

"They are different!"

"What's different?"

"them……"

Luke wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

Because the Vongola family had only been in Harlem for two days, they had no idea what their true nature was.

It is too early to say that they are different from Kim.

After all, Kingpin was also highly regarded back then.

"Stop arguing, the battle is over!"

Daredevil's words drew their attention back to the top floor of the building across the street... that floor had been buried by the collapsed roof.

At the edge of the ruins, all that could be seen was Kingpin covered in blood, an old man with white hair, Shin, now a corpse, and Bullseye, who was unharmed.

As for the Cloud Guardian, he is no longer here.

"What was the result? What happened to the Vongola people?"

Because of Luke and Frank's argument, Jessica asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Daredevil said silently, "He jumped out of the other window."

Who is that old lady?

"What old lady?"

Daredevil was stunned.

Although his ears have an extraordinary function, they can display the sounds he hears as three-dimensional images in his mind.

But there is a difference between hearing and seeing; there are some things he cannot understand by hearing.

"That old woman who looks like she's about to die... wait, she has an Asian face, could it be Mrs. Gao?"

How did you age so much in such a short time?!

Jessica suddenly seemed to notice something and exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The New Universe

Hearing Jessica's exclamation, the others also picked up their binoculars and looked over.

In the ruins of the building, next to Xin's body, stood an elderly Asian woman with a hunched back, white hair, and wrinkles that seemed to be squeezed together on her face. She looked to be over a hundred years old, but from her facial features, one could vaguely see some resemblance to Mrs. Gao.

“It is indeed Madam Gao!” The Punisher put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice, “No matter how her appearance changes, the aura of evil on her cannot be hidden.”

How did you come to perceive something as mysterious as "the aura of evil"?

Everyone was internally complaining, but no one dared to be a troll at that moment.

First, they were more curious about the changes in Madam Gao than they wanted to complain; second, they had not forgotten the purpose of their visit.

Luke looked at Matt, "Kingpin and his crew aren't doing well right now. If we make a move, we can definitely take them down. Then, whether we search for evidence against them and put them in jail, or..."

At this point, Luke turned to look at Frank, and then stopped talking.

But everyone knew what it meant.

Although they all disagreed with Frank's philosophy of killing, dealing with someone like Kingpin simply cannot be done using the same methods as dealing with ordinary criminals.

Sending him to prison is like sending him home.

“I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do,” Daredevil said in a deep voice. “If the police come, we’ll be treated as criminals if we barge in now.”

Zhongcheng United Company was a legitimate company used by Kingpin as a front, enjoying legal protection. Their sudden intrusion at this point would be utterly disastrous, leaving them with no way to explain themselves.

"Then we came for nothing?"

Danny was a little annoyed.

"No, we're going to find the Vongola's Cloud Guardian. He's not dead!"

……

Zhongcheng United Company, top floor.

Looking at Wesley, who was pinned to the chest by the roof beam, Kingpin felt a surge of sadness.

As a tycoon of the underworld, he rarely showed any emotion towards people.

Wesley was one of them.

He treated Wesley as a true brother, not a subordinate he could discard at will.

Wesley's death enraged him.

But he knew very well that if he let anger cloud his judgment at this moment, he would be finished.

"What should we do now?"

Bullseye asked from behind.

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Gao, now a centenarian, standing beside Xin's body, and then looked back at Kingpin.

"...Our strength is insufficient to fight against the Vongola." King recovered from his grief and analyzed, "A direct confrontation is unlikely to succeed, and even if we were to win by chance, we would suffer heavy losses, which is unwise. We need someone to deal with them."

"Who can deal with them now?" Madam Gao couldn't help but sneer after hearing Kingpin's words. "The tricks you used to use are no match for the Vongola gang."

Kingpin's greatest skill was handing over evidence of the enemy's crimes to the police or FBI, and then having his own people planted within these agencies lead the teams to take down the enemy.

With the powerful national judicial system on one side and information provided by themselves on the other, virtually no gang can withstand this combination of blows.

But the Vongola is different.

Their power has grown to the point where they can rival the military. Until the U.S. government has a clear understanding of the Vongola family's true nature or possesses the means to confront them without incurring significant losses, they are unlikely to risk such a devastating and costly confrontation.

Unless the Vongola team does something stupid.

But hoping the other party will act foolishly is tantamount to acting foolishly yourself.

It's just a joke.

"While the official forces may not be enough, there are some people who can."

"Who?"

Kingpin's lips curled slightly upwards as he slowly uttered, "The Defenders!"

Upon hearing this, both Madam Gao and Bullseye were taken aback, and then they laughed.

Madam Gao exclaimed, "As expected of you, Kingpin!"
