Chapter 32 Gwen's Decision
"So, you're saying The Hand Ninja was killed by an ordinary Police Officer."
"Yes, sir." Matt Murdock stood respectfully to the side. The only person who could command such respect from this Leader of The Hand was the underground king—Kingpin.
Kingpin's muscular arms slowly returned the Chest press machine to its starting position. The weight, far beyond that of ordinary people, was nothing more than a post-Meal relaxation for him.
Kingpin wiped his sweat and said unhurriedly, "Is that Police Officer some new government invention? Robot Cop? Or some American Sheriff?"
"As far as I know, neither." Matt didn't mind the sarcasm in Kingpin's tone. "He should just be an ordinary Police Chief."
"Haha!" Kingpin couldn't help but laugh when he heard Matt's words. "So it's not that the opponent is too strong, but because we are too weak, right, Murdock?"
Facing Kingpin's Question, Matt remained silent. He knew very well that this was a precursor to Kingpin's outburst.
"Bang!" As expected, Kingpin, who was just laughing, suddenly changed his face, smashed the special Chest press machine to pieces, and then turned to look at Matt fiercely.
"Give me a reason, Murdock. You know my temper. I can accept failure, but I cannot tolerate incompetence."
Matt clapped his hands, and soon two Thug pushed in a Monitor. At Matt's gesture, the Thug played a Video Recording for Kingpin.
The Video Recording was not long, and it only showed ordinary Street corner scenery. Kingpin looked at Matt, waiting for his explanation.
"This is a Video Recording near the target Stacy's Home. If you just watch it normally, it looks no different from an ordinary Video Recording, but if we slow down the Video Recording..."
At Matt's gesture, the Thug played the Video Recording again, but this time it was obviously slowed down. In the slowed-down Video Recording, a frame of disharmony suddenly appeared. The Thug also pressed pause at the right time, and a blurry black and blue Figure appeared in the Video Recording.
Kingpin squinted his Eyes and observed carefully for a while, then asked, "What is this?"
"I don't know." Matt answered frankly, completely ignoring Kingpin's livid face, after all, he really couldn't see. "This is just an ordinary Camera at the Street corner. Being able to see a blurry Figure is already the limit."
"So this blurry Figure can prove that your Ninja are not incompetent?"
"This one alone is certainly not enough." Matt gestured again, and the Screen image shrank, dividing the Screen equally with three other images of the same size. The Street corner scenery in each image was different, but all of them had that blurry black and blue Figure.
"These four are the only Video Recording that could capture that Figure. Although not many, based on them, we can deduce the destination of that Figure."
"Stacy's Home?" Kingpin guessed.
"That's right. Excuse me for speaking frankly, sir, but I don't think many people can defeat an opponent with that kind of speed." Matt looked helpless. It's not that our army is not working hard, but the enemy has Gundam.
"How do you know they are working together?" Kingpin Questioned again.
Matt didn't explain, but just played a Video Recording. Judging from the scene, the shooting location should be Hospital entrance. In the Video Recording, in the place where there was nothing in the previous frame, Stacy and his daughter appeared in the next frame.
"There weren't many people at the Doorway at that Time, so no one noticed their sudden appearance. Not only that, but the Hospital's Video Recording was also destroyed by someone unknown. This Video Recording is what we saved in the first instance."
"It seems our Sheriff Stacy is not as simple as he looks." Kingpin's expression was serious. An enemy so fast that even the Camera can't capture his appearance is indeed terrifying.
"How is that matter being prepared?"
Matt first dismissed the Thug, and only after it was just him and Kingpin did he answer Kingpin's Question.
"Herman agreed. As for that Rhino Man Aleksei, we didn't find him in Prison. I guess SHIELD might have interfered, but we found his accomplice."
"That Rhino Man, if you can't find him, then forget it. Ask his accomplice, get one that's the same. We still need to find manpower. Relying on just a few people is definitely not enough..."
"Not enough to take down this City!"

"What's wrong, Gwen? You look unhappy. Don't worry, Uncle George's hand is fine. That arrogant Doctor named Strange guaranteed it."
Yang Le and Gwen were eating at a Restaurant near the Hospital at this Time. Yang Le ordered a lot of Meal to cater to Gwen's superhuman appetite, but Gwen didn't appreciate it. Instead, she looked at Yang Le hesitantly.
"It's not because of that." Gwen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Habby, I want to investigate who exactly wants to get rid of my dad."
"No problem, do you need my help?" Yang Le readily agreed, looking at the surprised Gwen and said with a smile.
"You didn't think I was going to stop you, did you?"
Gwen nodded awkwardly. That's what she thought. But if she searched by herself, she would definitely be like a headless fly, so she could only ask Yang Le for help. Originally, she had prepared a lot of words to persuade Yang Le, but she didn't expect Yang Le to agree so readily.
"It's not my personality to be beaten and not fight back." Yang Le picked up a Steak and put it on Gwen's plate. "Your decision is not even as shocking to me as that Doctor's Name."
"Let's eat first. This is not the place to talk. I actually have some Clue about those people."
Although she didn't know why Yang Le would be shocked by a Doctor's Name, hearing that Yang Le agreed to help her and also had Clue, the stone hanging in Gwen's heart finally fell to the ground. Looking at the feast in front of her, she also had an appetite and began to devour it.
———separation line———
After finishing the Meal, Yang Le and Gwen returned to the Hospital Room. As soon as they entered the Doorway, they saw George chatting happily with Ben. May occasionally interjected with a few words, while Peter sat aside dozing off, obviously not interested in the older generation's conversation.
"Gwen and Yang Le are back too, so it's Time for you to leave too. You have work tomorrow, and Peter still has to go to school." George said to everyone when he saw Yang Le and Gwen walking in.
"How can that be, Dad? I still want to stay here to take care of you."
Facing the anxious Gwen, George just waved his good left hand and said, "I'm not that serious yet. I can take care of myself. It's just that our Home doesn't seem very safe anymore. I'm considering whether to send you to another City."
"No need to say anymore, old buddy." George stopped Ben and the others who wanted to speak. "I can't get you involved. It's too dangerous."
"I have a suggestion about this, Uncle George." Yang Le suggested from the side.
"How about letting Gwen come to my Home to live?"
