Chapter 37: The Hand and the Nine-Headed Serpent

Hell's Kitchen, secret meeting.

This is one of the bases of the Hand in the Big Apple, a society that originated in feudal Japan centuries ago.

Some oppressed people fled to the Iga and Koga regions, where they practiced their skills and may have later been influenced by the Chinese Sun Tzu's Art of War, eventually forming ninjutsu.

Over the next hundred years, they continued to learn and train, and most of their members were proficient in hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, camouflage, hiding, escape and other skills. They also possessed willpower, endurance and combat effectiveness that surpassed ordinary people.

They are also experts in espionage and assassination, usually providing professional services to wealthy people or warlords.

The Hand also possesses powerful magical secrets that can bring the dead back to life.

Then it gradually developed into a notorious international organization.

There are five fingers on a human hand, and the Hand has five leaders, one for each finger. They are Alexandra, Madam Gao, Bo Tu, Suowanda, and Murakami, all elders from Kunlun who were expelled for trying to use dragon bone fossils to extend their lifespans.

Mrs. Gao was leisurely drinking tea on the rooftop of the building. Mrs. Gao was an old lady over 50 years old. If Mrs. Gao walked alone on the street, no one would have thought that such a kind and gentle old lady would be the leader of a world-famous killer organization.

Jingle Bell!

Mrs. Gao's phone rang, and the person who came was Tom, the leader of the Irish gang.

Tom on the phone described the content of the conference call to Mrs. Gao, and said that many gangs are now dissatisfied with Chen Ye and Jin Bing, and proposed that they need the help of the Hand.

Mrs. Gao put down her teacup and answered the phone: "Okay, I get it. Chen Ye is indeed a problem. I lost a lot of clients because of him. I will ask someone to come over. Don't worry."

"Go to the meeting first and see what Chen Ye and the others are planning to do."

Then Mrs. Gao hung up the phone, and a hint of coldness appeared on her face. If Mrs. Gao just now was a kind and gentle old lady next door, then Mrs. Gao now was like a cold and poisonous snake.

Murakami, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Gao, looked at the change in Mrs. Gao's expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Your face changed after making a phone call."

“They are still a bunch of untamed dogs, including the Kingpin and the leader of this Irish gang.

He's already negotiating terms with me before the issue with Jin Bing has even been resolved.

Don't you see what kind of person you are?" Mrs. Gao said angrily.

"You've lived for so many years, can't you see through people's hearts?

Human desires are endless. No one is satisfied and everyone wants more.

Don’t we all want to live forever? Murakami sighed as he looked at the sky.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao realized that she had lost her composure and instantly returned to her appearance as a kind old lady.

Mrs. Gao actually doesn't care who is the owner of Hell's Kitchen.

After all, for someone like her who has lived for a long time, money and power are no longer important.

Now the only thing that matters to her may be finding the legendary dragon bones and gaining eternal life.

However, at this stage we must indeed get rid of Jin Bing and Chen Ye.

Ever since Chen Ye returned to Hell's Kitchen, Jin Bing's desire to retire has become stronger and stronger, resulting in his control over Hell's Kitchen becoming weaker and weaker.

This made it increasingly difficult for Mrs. Gao and her friends to sell their goods, which was not what Mrs. Gao wanted to see.

"How about I take action this time? I'm very curious about Chen Ye's superpowers." Murakami couldn't help but volunteered.

"It's rare that you, Murakami, are interested in this, so I won't refuse. I'll send someone to deal with Jin Bing.

I remember that he seemed to care about his wife a lot, so he would send someone to arrest his wife and children as well. "When Mrs. Gao heard that Murakami had volunteered, her eyes lit up and she quickly agreed.

"When the time comes, I will personally take action with my apprentice Xin," Murakami added.

Mrs. Gao's mood suddenly improved, as if Jin Bing and Chen Ye were fish on the chopping board.

After all, two members of the Hand-Gathering Society are personally on the show, and Murakami's apprentice Shin is also there, plus there are hundreds of ninjas stationed in the Big Apple. With such a luxurious lineup, it would be difficult for them to lose.

. . . . . . . .

On the other hand, Gust, who was playing with fire, also called the mayor and asked him to send out his ace troops to provide support.

Although the mayor is corrupt, he still has strong professional ethics.

He immediately agreed to Gust's request and arranged for special personnel to provide door-to-door service.

He leaned back in the soft sofa and lit a cigar.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Accompanied by the beautiful music, he began to imagine the bright future of his family.

At this time, the mayor over there also made a call.

"Long live Hydra!" It turns out that the mayor is a member of Hydra.

"Long live Hydra!" Director Pierce on the other end of the phone first looked around vigilantly, and then responded after making sure that there was no one around.

Director Pierce is the highest leader of Hydra hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D., and his status in S.H.I.E.L.D. is equivalent to that black-brined egg.

"You usually don't call me unless it's urgent. Go ahead." Director Pierce spoke first.

"The mutant in Hell's Kitchen has been very noisy lately.

I received news that there might be a gang war in a few days. I need your support. "

Of course, the mayor would not accept Gust's bribe and ask for help himself, but would say it was for the safety of the Big Apple.

Pierce, who was on the other end of the line, knew what his colleague was thinking and refused, "You can go to the police if you have any questions. We are not responsible for small-scale fights like this."

The mayor understood that the bald Pierce was rejecting him in a tactful way, but after all, he had received so much money, and if he didn't do something, he was afraid that no one would honor him in the future.

So he quickly said, "I am also thinking about the organization. If we can deal with Kingpin and that mutant this time, my people can take control of Hell's Kitchen.

By then, we, Hydra, will have another stronghold in Hell's Kitchen. No one cares how people die there."

Pierston was a little moved when he heard this, but he still said, "We have bases all over the world. One more Hell's Kitchen is not a big deal. There is no need to care about the lives of a group of gangsters. Unless..."

The mayor didn't understand what this meant, so he made up his mind: "Fifty million will be transferred to your personal account, and the entire Hell's Kitchen will belong to you."

"Okay, I'll send Brock Rumlow to lead the team. Everything is for Hydra!" Director Pierce immediately agreed seriously.

"Everything for Hydra!" The mayor quickly hung up the phone.

"Fuck, this time I've lost a lot. And it's all for Hydra, ugh." The mayor cursed.

In fact, no one in Hydra has much loyalty to the organization. They all join Hydra for their own interests.

Gust over there was anxiously waiting for the mayor's call.

On the phone, the mayor first said that Gust needed to pay him an additional 100 million as a fee, and said that the matter had been taken over by S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is a very mysterious department. With them in Gust, we can rest assured!

Hearing this reply, Gust was naturally very excited. Although the $100 million fee was a little painful for Gust, as long as he could kill Chen Ye and Jin Bing, everything would be worth it.
