Chapter 28: Matt Murdock
Chapter 28: Matt Murdock
The next day.
A shocking piece of news made it to the front page of New York City!
In one night, the people in Fisk Tower was killed.
The chairman, Kingpin, had disappeared and the first fighter under his command, Bullseye, had been dismembered. It was suspected to be caused by his enemy's revenge.
The once all-powerful Underworld Empire was instantly disintegrated!
This piece of news was like a tornado that quickly swept through the entire Hell's Kitchen!
Kingpin had disappeared!
The terrifying man who ruled and governed Hell's Kitchen no longer existed!
All the gangs were getting restless.
It was located in a law firm of Hell's Kitchen.
"Hey ---Matt, did you see the news in the morning?"
A man with golden curly hair who was slightly plump walked to a man with coffee in his hand.
The man turned around and said lightly, "Fergy, do you think I can see it?"
Although it was indoors, the man was wearing a pair of sunglasses.
The bigger sunglasses covered most of the man's face, but judging from the angular outline of his face, he must be quite good-looking.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Fergy quickly apologized and said with embarrassment, "I almost forgot. You can't see."
"It doesn't matter."
Matt shook his head slightly. He was already used to this kind of thing.
"This is big news!"
Fergy took a sip of coffee and said a little excitedly, "I promise you will never think of it, Matt!"
Big news?
"I'm a little curious about that. Tell me about it, Fergy," said Matt.
"You know about Kingpin, right?" Fergy said, "It's the man who is known as the Emperor of the underworld!"
As soon as he heard the name of this man, Matt's face changed instantly, and his body unconsciously tightened.
Crack crack crack...
Matt clenched his hand at some point, and his white knuckles bulged, releasing bursts of cracking sounds.
"Hey, Matt?"
Fudge felt that something was wrong with Matt. He quickly patted him on the shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you okay? You don't seem to be feeling well."
"No... I'm fine."
Matt forced a smile and loosened his clenched fist. He exhaled and said, "You haven't told me yet. What is the news?"
"Matt, are you really okay? I saw you just now..."
"No, I'm fine!"
Matt repeated. He stared at Fergy through his sunglasses and said, "What is the news?"
"As long as you are fine."
Fergy shrugged and was not in the mood to keep him guessing. He said bluntly, "Last night, Fisk Tower was attacked, and there was no one alive in the whole building. Bullseye and Kingpin..."
Kacha!
Before he finished speaking, Fergy saw with his own eyes that Matt broke the armrest of the chair with his bare hands, and then stood up all of a sudden!
Fergy's eyelids were twitching wildly.
The armrest and chair of the chair were made of metal, and it was broken by Matt with his bare hands?
Matt grabbed Fergy and said excitedly, "Where are Bullseye and Kingpin? What happened to them?"
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"
Fudge's arm was in pain, and he couldn't help but scream, "Damn it, Matt, you bastard, let go of me, my arm is going to break!"
"Uh... sorry!"
Matt quickly let go and apologized.
When he heard the news about Kingpin and Bullseye just now, he was too excited and completely forgot to hold back.
"Damn it, you are a bastard!"
Fudge looked at the five purple handprints on his arm and could not help but complain, "Your hand strength is too strong!"
You almost broke my arm!
"I'm sorry, Fergy." Matt looked apologetic and said, "I will treat you to coffee another day. Please tell me what is going on."
"Okay, okay..."
Fergy said helplessly, "I heard that Bullseye was dismembered by that mysterious man, and the whole office was full of dead bodies."
"Bullseye... is dead?"
Matt was slightly stunned, and then a sense of loss surged in his heart.
This feeling was like suddenly losing a certain target. He didn't know if he should be disappointed or happy.
"Then... what about Kingpin?"
Matt asked again.
Fudge shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I didn't find his body. He probably ran away."
"Is he missing?"
Matt frowned and sighed, "Hell's Kitchen... Something big is going to happen!"
"Something big happened?" Fergy was puzzled.
He didn't understand. Wasn't Kingpin a gangster?
Logically speaking, Kingpin disappearing should be a good thing. Why did Matt say that it was a bad thing?
"I want Kingpin to die more than anyone else."
Matt looked a little bitter and said helplessly, "But... at least not now. His disappearance will cause chaos for Hell's Kitchen!"
Kingpin's disappearance was indeed a good thing, but it also contained bad things!
Just like the coin had two sides, the existence and disappearance of Kingpin also had two sides!
Hell's Kitchen was a chaotic place, but when Kingpin existed, he could use his influence and methods to slightly check the chaotic situation here.
This was what Kingpin hoped for and also what those high-ranking politicians needed, because a place with only chaos was something that no politician wanted to see!
It could be said that it was because of Kingpin's existence that Hell's Kitchen existed in a state of equilibrium, which was why he had not been swept away by those politicians until now!
But now...
Kingpin had disappeared, and his empire had collapsed. No one could restrain that group of madmen anymore.
Fergy seemed to understand. He turned and asked, "You seem to know them very well. Are you a superhero?"
"Hehe..."
Matt smiled, neither answering nor denying.
"Hahaha, I was just joking."
Fudge shook his head and smiled. "Besides, how can a blind man be a superhero?"
Matt was calm. He just smiled and said nothing. He took his staff and said, "Fergy, I will go back first. Help me ask for a leave."
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't we agree to go to the police station today?"
"Go ahead. I suddenly have something to do."
"F*ck! This is your case!"
"Sorry, I'll treat you to coffee another day."
"You haven't invited me last time!"
"Definitely next time."
Matt leaned on his staff and his figure gradually disappeared.
...
Matt Murdock.
During the day, he was a blind lawyer who defended the innocent in Hell's Kitchen.
But at night, he... was a super hero!
The Daredevil!
This was the nickname that Hell's Kitchen's people had given him.
Like a devil in the dark night, he descended from the sky to punish the evil gangsters and save the innocent.
Although he was blind, Matt's other senses were extremely sharp!
Perhaps this was his gift.
As he closed a window, he opened a door for him!
"Tonight... will be a carnival."
Matt looked out of the window at the setting sun and could not help but feel a little worried.
It was not the right time for Kingpin to disappear...
Recently, the action of the joint meeting had become more and more frequent, and the other gangs were also stirring.
And at this critical time, Kingpin, who had been keeping many parties in check in the middle, had disappeared. It had to be said that it was really a nightmare!
A chaotic domain that had lost the control of the underworld Emperor would definitely stir up a storm of blood tonight!
Could he... withstand it alone?
If he couldn't, he had to resist!
Because he was The Daredevil!
Justice was on his side!
How could he be afraid of evil?
A trace of seriousness flashed through Matt's eyes. "No matter what... I will not let you destroy this place!"
