Chapter 322: Allen Rescues the Wild Hero
Late at night, on the street.
A figure in a dark red leather suit was sprinting frantically.
Close behind, a pursuer came relentlessly, each hand bearing three razor-sharp blades that glinted with a cold gleam.
"Wolverine, why are you supporting the bill? Have you forgotten the history of persecution against mutants?"
Daredevil kept glancing back as he fled, desperate to avoid capture.
While his life wasn't in danger, Daredevil—always a lone wolf—refused to accept that damn bill. He feared bringing danger to those around him.
"I just want the world to have more order."
Wolverine tried to reason with him. "Daredevil, give it up peacefully. Don't make me hurt you."
Daredevil had to admit that he was no match for Wolverine.
With Adamantium claws and a super healing factor, it was nearly impossible to harm him.
After hundreds of exchanges, realizing he was at a disadvantage, Attorney Matt—Daredevil—didn't hesitate to retreat.
But the problem was, Wolverine had a wolf's sense of smell and kept tracking him.
Snap!
Suddenly, several blinding lights flared to life.
Logan and Matt both halted and looked toward a burly figure standing beneath the lights.
Kingpin.
Matt instantly recognized him as the underground ruler of Hell's Kitchen—one of his archenemies.
He looked at Logan and demanded, "You're working with criminals now?"
"No."
Logan's denial was weak.
Kingpin's sudden appearance, combined with the clear preparation beforehand, made it look like a setup.
"Daredevil is my prey. I suggest you stay out of this."
Kingpin warned Logan impatiently, spitting out the cigar in his mouth and casually rolling up his sleeves, ready for a fight.
Among the many villains, Kingpin was technically just a regular human, but one with extraordinary genetics. Over 90% of his body was muscle. He possessed terrifying strength, remarkable durability, and impressive recovery.
He could overpower many so-called superhumans who relied on mutations.
"You've got a death wish."
Logan's eyes turned cold. Abandoning the chase after Daredevil, he turned to deal with the real threat: Kingpin.
As a member of both the X-Men and the Avengers, Wolverine didn't follow any "no killing" rules. He'd lost count of how many lives he'd taken.
At that moment, Kingpin sidestepped and revealed another figure—one that looked very much like Wolverine.
Standing in the glare of the lights, his face was hard to make out, but from the silhouette, he looked almost identical.
He had slightly protruding spikes on both sides of his head, and his hands also bore what looked like three blades each.
"Who's there?"
Logan stopped in his tracks, suspicion growing. He tried to get a better look.
Aside from Sabretooth, he couldn't recall having any long-lost twin brothers. Maybe this was another government cloning experiment?
"Can someone turn off the lights? They're blinding."
As the lights cut out, the figure revealed himself—it was Allen, striking a Wolverine-like pose, though instead of claws, he held three oversized mega throwing darts in each hand.
"Allen?"
Even after decades apart, Logan remembered him clearly.
This was the guy who once butchered a Sentinel with a butcher knife and seduced the Dark Phoenix with a kiss—a living legend among mutants, still the subject of endless conversation.
"That's right. It's me."
With that, Allen crossed his arms in the shape of an X—the X-Men salute—but the large mega darts made it look hilariously off.
"You're working with them?" Logan frowned.
In his memory, Allen might've been a bit nuts, but he'd never fallen to villainy.
"It's just a temporary partnership."
Allen smirked coolly and added with a note of self-mockery, "People change. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself anymore."
In truth, he had originally come to Hell's Kitchen planning to kidnap Daredevil.
But he hadn't found his target and instead ran into the local bigshot, Kingpin. Seizing the moment, he talked Kingpin into helping and, with Unita's help hacking into the public surveillance system, discovered Wolverine was chasing Daredevil. From there, he predicted their route and laid an ambush.
"You nutjob, you two catch up—I'm taking out Daredevil first."
Kingpin couldn't wait any longer and advanced on Matt, eager to eliminate his long-standing enemy.
"Watch out, Wolverine's launching a sneak attack!"
…Who?
Logan looked at Allen, confused—he hadn't moved at all.
Ever vigilant, Kingpin reflexively turned to defend himself—
Pop!
Before he could understand what was happening, a long, thick object shot directly into his mouth.
The mega dart expanded on contact with moisture.
In an instant, it swelled to fill the exact shape of Kingpin's throat.
Uh…
So it was Allen who launched the sneak attack.
Unfortunately, with his mouth stuffed, Kingpin couldn't even shout. He tried to dig the thing out, but it was too slippery—he couldn't get a grip on it at all.
What the hell was this?
Logan and Matt were both baffled.
Weren't those two working together? Why were they turning on each other already?
"Godlight Rod!"
Allen tucked the two remaining mega darts into his waistband, pulled out a remote from behind, and cranked it to the "super strong" setting.
Vrrrrrrr…
Suddenly, a high-frequency vibration shook Kingpin's throat, terrifying him.
He couldn't get the object out, and his entire head began shaking uncontrollably from the internal tremors.
The once fearsome mob boss—a ruthless killer—was now completely humiliated.
Allen flicked his hair and boasted with flair, "To be defeated by a Tang Sect hidden weapon—your life is not in vain. Remember your nightmare's name—Tang San."
At that moment, Kingpin looked like he had mounted a motor. He shook so violently that his facial muscles wobbled, and his eyes rolled back.
In less than a minute, he collapsed like a mountain of meat, still trembling involuntarily.
"Looks like the mega discharged electricity," Allen said seriously.
Yikes…
What a humiliating defeat.
If word got out, Kingpin could forget about ever showing his face in the criminal underworld again.
"Mr. Murdock, I was sent by the organization to protect you."
Allen re-equipped his six mega darts and stared coldly at Logan.
A chill ran down Logan's spine. He glanced nervously at the twitching Kingpin and quickly said, "Allen, we go way back. You wouldn't actually—"
"What do you think?"
Allen gave a wicked smile, raised his hands with the six oversized darts gleaming in the light, and said enthusiastically, "Now taste the Tang Sect's number-one hidden weapon—Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus!"
"You lunatic!"
Logan didn't wait for more. He spun around and bolted without hesitation.
Back at the Mutant Academy, he'd seen what this maniac was capable of—there was no way he'd bet on their flimsy friendship saving him now.
Allen chased after him waving the darts, yelling, "Stop running! If you don't stop, I'll shoot the hole in your rear!"
The hole in my—?!
Hearing that, Logan yelped and retracted his claws, frantically clutching his butt as he ran even faster, screaming, "Stop chasing me!"
One fleeing, one pursuing—they rounded a corner when—
Logan was suddenly overcome by a powerful suction force, like when facing Magneto.
Thud!
He was sucked straight into a cargo truck.
His whole body stuck against the metal inside, and then the doors slammed shut. The vehicle sped off into the night.
Allen waved goodbye to the truck. Naturally, this was all a trap set by the comedy troupe.
Matt stood there, stunned. He looked in the direction the two vanished, then at the twitching, utterly ruined Kingpin, and sighed, "Shame I'm blind. Otherwise, I'd totally take a photo of this with my phone."
Moments later, he heard footsteps.
With his super hearing, Matt knew Allen was returning. In his mind, a mental model formed—it was still Allen, with six darts raised.
"What are you doing?"
Matt instinctively stepped back, terrified that those horrifying weapons were meant for him next.
"Mr. Murdock, the organization needs you."
