He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Everyone was speechless.

But he immediately realized that the other person had mentioned another name... He wasn't alone; he had accomplices lurking in the shadows.

Daredevil activated radar mode and quickly heard breathing sounds on the roof of the building to his left.

Then, he froze on the spot.

"what happened?"

Noticing his companion's unusual behavior, Danny asked with concern.

Daredevil shuddered and came to his senses.

He first glanced at Danny, shook his head slightly to indicate that he was alright, and then looked at the rooftop of the building to his left.

The others also learned that the "Krom" hidden in the shadows was hiding there.

"Yamamoto, you did this on purpose!"

Seemingly realizing that his whereabouts had been discovered, Chrome stopped hiding and walked out openly.

She stood on the edge of the rooftop, her brows furrowed, glaring at Yamamoto with obvious displeasure. "We don't even know what's going on yet, and you've already exposed me. At least be a little more careful!"

"Hey, didn't they all ask?"

Yamamoto Takeshi seemed unaware of what he had done wrong, looking completely bewildered. "Ah, I see. You're worried that if a fight breaks out later, the ambush won't be effective, right?"

Is this guy really an adult?

The members of the Defenders Alliance all wore speechless expressions.

At this point, they no longer doubted his identity as a member of the Mafia or anything like that; instead, they suspected that he was a child who had taken too many hormones and had grown into an adult-like figure.

but……

"Ah, don't worry, I can handle it all by myself!"

The expressions on the defenders' faces gradually froze.

Only then did they realize that the other party was not truly naive or foolish, but rather had absolute confidence in their own abilities.

"How arrogant!"

Jessica shook her neck, clenched her fists, and slowly walked towards Takeshi Yamamoto.

The other defenders did not stop them.

Although they only wanted to assess the situation, not to take action, the rest of them, except for Danny, had grown up in this crime-ridden city and knew how to deal with gangsters—flexing their muscles before engaging in conversation.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Jessica approached Takeshi Yamamoto and looked him in the eye at an extremely close distance.

Yamamoto Takeshi's smile remained unchanged as he slung his sword over his shoulder, waiting patiently for his opponent to make a move.

This guy is so arrogant!

Jessica grew increasingly annoyed and sneered, "Such a big mouth! Let me see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and threw a punch.

Jessica hadn't received any formal training in martial arts, so her punch lacked any real skill. However, she was incredibly strong, easily lifting a car and throwing it several meters away.

Such powerful force suddenly erupts, and its punching speed is much faster than that of the top professional athletes.

Takeshi Yamamoto didn't move, his cheerful smile still on his face, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Only when the fist made contact with the tip of his nose, and he was about to be hit in less than a second, did he begin to dodge.

No, it should be called a defensive counter-attack.

In the split second before being hit, Takeshi Yamamoto stepped back with his right leg, his body turning slightly to avoid the punch by a hair's breadth. At the same time, he raised his right leg and delivered a knee strike.

"boom!"

The knee strike landed squarely on Jessica's stomach, the powerful force sending her sliding two or three meters backward before she clutched her abdomen and vomited.

"Jessica!"

Luke ran over with concern, while Daredevil and Danny stared at Takeshi Yamamoto with grave expressions.

Especially Daredevil.

His special senses allowed him to know every detail of their previous encounter. His ability to act under such extreme conditions, evade and counterattack, was truly terrifying.

Takeshi Yamamoto shook his head slightly, seemingly with some regret, "It's such a pity that someone with such great power can only swing their fists so easily."

"...After all, I'm not exactly a martial artist!"

After vomiting for a while, Jessica, feeling much better in her stomach, stood up again, her fighting spirit undiminished as she looked at Yamamoto Takeshi.

She took a deep breath and continued, "But amateurs also have their own way of fighting."

After saying that, she raised her right leg and then stomped it down hard.

"boom!"

With a violent tremor, the ground cracked into a spiderweb-like pattern, and more than a dozen pieces of gravel were thrown into the air.

At this moment, Jessica transformed into a national football legend, kicking the stones away one by one.

Under that inhuman power, the stones flew like cannonballs, shooting towards Yamamoto Takeshi.

"Your strength is incredible!"

Takeshi Yamamoto exclaimed in surprise, but his hands moved quickly.

The ring ignites with blue, water-like flames, which then attach to the samurai sword, and the sword is gently slashed forward.

"Whoosh!"

The water-like flames were flung out of the knife like fluid, forming a transparent, flowing curtain of fire in front of him.

The cannonball-like pebbles crashed into it, just like falling into water, encountering great resistance and gradually slowing down until they finally came to a complete stop.

"Whoosh!"

The flames subsided, and the rubble fell to the ground.

The defenders were stunned.

what is this?

Superpowers?

"Hahaha..." Yamamoto Takeshi laughed heartily, "It's just the calming effect of Rain of Flames, don't be so surprised!"

"Calm down?"

The defenders snapped out of their daze and looked at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Takeshi Yamamoto, like a kind older brother, explained to them: "The Dying Will Flame of our Vongola family has seven attributes, each with different effects."

The nature of the Rain Flame I possess is "calmness".

Extinguish other flames, suppress enemy attacks, reduce or stop human bodily functions, causing them to fall into a coma or die.

Well, to put it simply, it's the process of transforming matter from motion to stillness.

Chapter Sixty-One: Why Don't You Have a Heartbeat?

"..."

The defenders fell silent, unsure whether they were reflecting on what Yamamoto had said or simply speechless at his act of self-destructing in front of the enemy.

That's so stupid!

No, he's not stupid; he's simply confident in his abilities.

They believe that it's useless for their abilities to be known by others.

Thinking of Yamamoto Takeshi's previous attitude, they immediately felt relieved.

"Yamamoto, you're too long-winded."

At this moment, Yun Que said somewhat impatiently.

"Take care of them quickly, then go back."

“Yeah, I’m waiting to go shopping at the mall. If you keep dawdling, I’ll take care of it for you.” Chrome, standing on the rooftop, also chimed in in support.

Having lived as a core member of the Mafia for ten years, she is no longer the little girl who couldn't even muster the courage to talk to people.

Now she is confident and cheerful, and she shows no politeness to her comrades-in-arms.

"learn!"

Yamamoto Takeshi responded with a smile, then turned to look at the defenders, his smile replaced by seriousness. "As you all know, my comrades are getting impatient. If you want to fight, then hurry up!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening gunshot rang out in the distance.

Before anyone could react, a bullet was seen flying slowly in front of the mountain, getting slower and slower.

Rain of Flames - Calm!

Yamamoto calmly dodged the bullets, then walked straight towards Jessica and Luke, a smile returning to his face. "That's more like it!"

Luke and Jessica exchanged a glance, then charged at Yamamoto Takeshi from the left and right, with Danny flanking them from behind.

Only Daredevil remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Chrome upstairs.

From the moment he sensed the girl, he had a question: Why did this woman have no heartbeat?

Unlike those ninjas who conceal their aura and hide their heartbeats, those ninjas' methods can still be barely heard if one concentrates.

But this girl really didn't have a heartbeat at all.

Not only the heartbeat, but also the sounds of the liver, stomach, and other organs operating were completely inaudible, as if they did not exist.

But how can a person survive without organs?

While Daredevil was drawn to Chrome's unusual physical condition, the other four had already begun their fight.

Yamamoto walked straight toward Jessica and Luke, quickening his pace when they were about five or six meters apart.
