Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

“I invited you here today not to ask you to abandon your principles. On the contrary, what I need is for you to lead this operation as a police officer, using your professional ethics.”

George's expression froze slightly.

Coulson pointed to the documents on the table: "We'll handle it, rationalize it, and the progress of the case and the presentation of evidence will strictly follow procedures."

"And the one who stands in the spotlight and leads the team to bring Kingpin to justice is none other than you, Detective George."

George didn't speak, but his attitude changed.

Coulson continued, "This is a huge opportunity. Think about the colleagues who died in Kingpin's shadow, think about the victims."

"We will follow all procedures, but it must be fast, very fast!"

George grew increasingly silent, as if two little people were fighting in his mind.

After a long while, he raised his head: "Kingpin must pay the price!"

“But I have a condition, as you said, that all operations must be led by the NYPD.”

“S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot overstep its bounds, nor can it use any irregular means.”

"Furthermore, my family and partners must be absolutely safe. Kingpin's revenge will definitely not be directed at just me."

Coulson smiled and extended his hand: "Don't worry, officer."

With their hands clasped together, George suddenly asked, "What do you want?"

Coulson paused for a moment, then replied meaningfully, "What we want is justice, but of course we also need to collect some interest."

He didn't mention those special metals; everything was left unsaid.

In her temporary apartment in Queens, Lin Nan was about to take a nap when she received a encrypted message from Peter.

"The plan is progressing smoothly, and we've seen many police cars heading to the West Side of Manhattan and Brooklyn!"

The plan is progressing more smoothly than expected. Kingpin reacted quickly, but S.H.I.E.L.D. and George Stacy were even faster. It's unclear how long it will take for the police and S.H.I.E.L.D. to launch their final offensive.

The next step is to see how much of the Kingpin Empire's foundation this operation can shake, and how much karmic benefit it will bring to itself.

However, he didn't relax at all, because the plan was going too smoothly.

Kim is not an easy person to deal with. How will he respond?

And in New Mexico, is the Destroyer coming soon?

Lin Nan was familiar with this part of the plot, but she hadn't clearly calculated the time span.

Furthermore, this universe is a Frankenstein's monster; will the plot continue to develop in that direction?

"Time really waits for no one," Lin Nan sighed.

The number on the wrist: [Causality Value: 3]

After the last draw, only 3 points remained, but since he allied with Daredevil and Spider-Man and started the operation, no points have been drawn.

It may be necessary to wait until the end of a certain event before a unified settlement is made, just like last time.

He sat there, recalling information about the Destroyer.

The Destroyer Armor is made of Uru metal, a typical Asgardian "magical" technology.

In movies and TV dramas, besides their super high defensive capabilities, the most eye-catching feature is their energy attacks.

His current form, the wing form, is highly mobile and suitable for maneuvering, but lacks the ability to launch direct attacks.

While the Impact Form is strong in frontal attacks, it lacks mobility. Furthermore, there's no guarantee that it can break through Uru Metal's defenses.

In addition, there's that high-intensity energy attack...

What he lacks most right now is a dream capsule with penetrating properties, or energy defense.

As for what you'll get, that depends on luck; even a small prize is still a prize.

Suddenly, his phone screen lit up, displaying a jumble of characters.

Lin Nan's eyes darkened; this was one of the emergency codes the three of them had agreed upon beforehand.

It means: Extreme danger, evacuate immediately!

Kingpin has made his move! So fast, so swift!

Lin Nan instantly stood up, and with a thought, armor covered his entire body. He opened the window and jumped out without hesitation.

With its propulsion wings deployed, it skimmed along the side of the building and headed towards another emergency hiding place.

Chapter 43 Provocation

Lin Nan moved from her temporary apartment to another abandoned factory in Queens.

His armor did not disintegrate, maintaining a hovering posture, with his phone tightly gripped in his hand.

I contacted Peter and Matt through an encrypted channel, but received no response.

This is completely abnormal. Peter keeps his phone on 24/7, so I'm sure Matt wouldn't let his guard down at a time like this either. It's even more abnormal that he didn't reply.

problem occurs!

Kingpin must have started his counterattack. Has Bullseye made his move?

Lin Nan forced herself to calm down and analyzed the current situation.

All three of them possess remarkable perception abilities. Daredevil, with his years of experience dealing with Kingpin, is highly skilled and unlikely to give himself away.

As for himself, after obtaining the Harmony Capsule, his perception and detection abilities have improved to a new level, and he has not detected any danger so far.

Peter is the most likely target. With Lin Nan's prompting, Peter is very cautious, and the possibility of his identity being exposed is extremely small.

However, the very identity of Spider-Man could make him vulnerable to being tracked down and targeted by experienced individuals.

Lin Nan really wanted to go check on Peter's neighborhood, but reason told him that he couldn't go now.

Suddenly he remembered that Peter had mentioned it before.

Spider-Man had previously placed some beacons in hidden locations in several key areas to transmit simple messages.

One of them was near Peter's house.

Perhaps there will be messages left behind by him there.

Lin Nan soared into the sky, advancing towards his target through the clouds.

A few minutes later, he approached the target area, removed his armor in the shadows where no one was around, and slowly walked toward the old telephone booth.

He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then took out a receiver from his pocket and pointed it at the phone booth.

The receiver's screen flashed, and soon a message arrived: "Attacked, now safe, assemble at point four."

As expected, they had been attacked, but they seemed to have escaped. Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly pulled out his phone and messaged Matt again: "Is it safe? Meet at point four!"

After doing all this, Lin Nan didn't linger and headed straight for point four.

An abandoned old dock warehouse on the East Coast of Brooklyn.

Peter sat on the spider web, not having completely removed his hood, washing the bloody cuts on his arm with disinfectant, his eyes still showing lingering fear.

The attack just now was incredibly precise.

If it weren't for his excellent spider senses, he would probably have been pierced by several bullets at the same time.

The person who made the move was definitely not an ordinary gangster gunman, but a professional top assassin.

This reminded him of someone Matt had mentioned, Kingpin's sharpest blade, Bullseye, the king of assassins.

Peter quickly treated his wound and then heard a faint sound from the sky.

Spider-Senses jolted; something seemed familiar—it was Lin Nan.

Lin Nan, dressed in armor, descended through the broken skylight and landed next to Peter.

“Peter! What happened?” Lin Nan asked.

Peter recounted what had just happened, and then said, "His aim was too precise, Lin. If it weren't for my spider sense, I would be dead."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Nan's eyes: "It must have been Bullseye who made the move."

But why a gun? Are they bullets that you throw by hand?

Peter's voice was tinged with anger: "They are so arrogant, daring to use guns in a residential building in broad daylight. The lives of ordinary people are nothing to them!"

Lin Nan replied in a deep voice, "That's Kingpin's style. He won't allow anyone to provoke him, and anyone who does will be wiped out in blood."

Then Lin Nan patted Peter on the shoulder and encouraged him, "That was a bullseye. You were caught off guard and only suffered minor injuries. That's already pretty good."

"His targeting of your Spider-Man identity means that your true identity has not yet been revealed, which is a good thing."

Peter then asked, "Has Daredevil replied?"

Lin Nan shook her head: "Not yet, but it should be fine."

"So what should we do now? Should we just wait here for Daredevil?"

Lin Nan's eyes sharpened: "We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom; we must take the initiative and regain control."

“If Kingpin is given a chance to catch his breath, he might start investigating the people around us.”

Peter nodded: "Then what should we do?"

Lin Nan recalled watching Animal World when he was a child and said, "Kingpin is like a wolf. His empire is maintained by fear and profit, which is why he retaliated so quickly after we attacked him."

"The purpose is to intimidate the wolves below, to show them that the boss is still the boss, and anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Peter was stunned: "You mean..."

"What I mean is, we can't back down now. Instead, we need to take the initiative and make a big splash for his pack."

“I understand, Lin. You mean we should jump out and slap him in the face, to tell the other wolves in the pack that Kingpin is nothing special. This way, their internal strife will prevent them from investigating us!” Peter clapped his hands in approval.

Lin Nan nodded: "That's right. Kingpin also has some legitimate businesses, so we can start from there."

“He owns a nightclub called the Golden Club in Midtown Manhattan. The owner is a puppet; it’s actually Kingpin’s business.”
