It wasn't that Connors wasn't enjoying the show or deliberately causing trouble.
Mainly, when he learned that Black Widow Natasha had come to Gotham, and her target was Silk Cindy, there was no way he could stand by and do nothing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when these gang bosses all dropped their pants, exposing their backsides, he stepped forward and gave each of them a kick, distributing a few kicks equally, which infuriated the bosses.
Swish swish swish!
Besides Connors, there were other henchmen on the third floor of the Iceberg Lounge. At this moment, they all raised their guns and aimed at Connors.
"Kill him for me!"
One boss fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time. He simply sat on the ground and issued orders, and immediately bullets rained down like rain.
Black Widow Natasha felt that things were getting stranger and stranger, but she still sat in her chair obediently, planning to wait until this inexplicable kick-throwing minion was dealt with before resuming her plan.
As the bosses expected, bullets hit Connors, and the gang suit he was wearing was instantly riddled with holes.
But soon, the gunfire slowed down with a hint of hesitation, and the henchmen who were shooting exchanged glances.
The suit, full of holes, quickly deflated from a human shape and fell limply to the ground.
And the target they were supposed to be shooting at was now completely out of sight.
The gang bosses heard the gunfire stop, and the bodies that had been lying down stood up one after another. When they saw that only a suit was left where Connors had been, their brains crashed once again.
Grandmaster Level Little Trick!
Connors completely avoided the hail of bullets with just one trick, the "Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell." At this moment, he was standing next to the bosses, holding an iron chain that he didn't know where he'd gotten from.
Using the Little Trick and Lockpicking Master skills in combination, he swiftly strung up all four or five bosses present, then kicked each of them, hanging them all in the central open space of the Iceberg Lounge.
Then, anticipating that these bosses might howl and curse, he conveniently took off all their leather shoes and stuffed them into their mouths.
As for the armed henchmen who were shooting, Connors showed no mercy. His Intermediate level Comprehensive Fighting ability combined with the use of Little Trick allowed him to practically ignore all of them.
After knocking out the last standing henchman with the butt of his companion's gun, he finally walked up to the bewildered Black Widow and extended his hand with a smile:
"Hello."
Seeing Natasha raise an eyebrow, he spoke before she could:
"I know this chair can't hold you."
Natasha's hands, which were behind her back and tied to the chair, naturally slipped out of the chains, and then she shook hands with Connors twice:
"Gotham's Dark Knight is indeed worthy of his reputation."
She thinks I'm Batman... Connors chuckled inwardly and said:
"If I were Batman, I would be talking to you with my face covered right now."
After shaking hands with Connors, Natasha sat back down in the chair, crossing her legs in black stockings:
"Let's be clear first, whether you are an ally or not, there's no way I can hand over my mission target to you."
Connors nodded in agreement:
"Same here, whether you're from the Red Room or S.H.I.E.L.D., there's no way I can hand over Silk to you."
When he said this halfway, Black Widow Natasha almost flared up and attacked, but reason made her restrain her impulse.
She hadn't even clearly seen Connors' movements as he easily escaped the hail of bullets just now. It wasn't until Connors hung up the bosses with the iron chain that she realized it was him.
Against such a ghost-like person, even if Natasha had a gun, she had no confidence at all in gaining the upper hand at this moment.
Therefore, when she heard the rather sensitive phrase "Red Room," her expression only changed slightly, but her smile quickly returned.
"But I'm much more interested in you right now than in Silk..." Natasha estimated that she definitely couldn't win in a fight, so she simply started hinting again.
"These twists and turns won't work on me, Natasha. Tell me why you're looking for Silk. If the purpose isn't bad, I might know her whereabouts."
Connors ignored Natasha's temptation. After all, he had been crazy with Cindy for nearly two hours before going to bed and was currently in a sage-like state.
He knew he was no match for her in the game of Agents and spies, so he simply stated it clearly.
Black Widow Natasha saw that her teasing was ineffective and she couldn't win a fight, feeling a sense of powerlessness like hitting cotton with a fist. She decided to stall for time and send a distress signal.
But as she sat in the chair, secretly reaching a hand behind her back to send the signal, she was startled to find that her communication device had appeared in Connors' hand at some point, and he was constantly playing with it.
"As far as I know, Silk shouldn't have any connection with your S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers, and has always been a loner. Sending you here now, is it to have her cooperate with some experiment?"
Connors fiddled with Natasha's communication device in his hand. This thing looked like an earring, but it actually contained a signal sending device.
Discovering this item was the work of his Spider-Sense, but getting it into his hand without Natasha knowing was using the Little Trick.
What is S.H.I.E.L.D.... should I know them? Natasha had never even heard of an organization with that name in the World.
"Okay, then I'll be direct... The Ancient One predicted that the World will end in three years. Mister Fantastic Reed wants to build a time-travel device to change all of this, but there's currently a problem and he needs the help of Silk's interdimensional Spider-Sense."
Seeing that all her methods seemed transparent in front of Connors, Natasha simply leaned back in her chair and, in a resigned manner, spilled the entire purpose of her search for Silk.
Before she came to Gotham, the Ancient One had already predicted that she would encounter a very strong opponent in this mission. Natasha had thought it was Batman, but she never expected an unheard-of Connors to appear halfway through.
Ancient One... Connors' first reaction was the bald but heroic sorceress from the movie, and then he heard about Mister Fantastic Reed.
Reed, also known as 'Reed the Divine Stick,' is clearly a tech-based hero, yet he managed to play with technology to a peak level using his brain. In the comics, his technology is almost omnipotent, but at this moment, he can't even build a simple time-travel device?
"You're lying to me." Connors looked at Natasha and smiled.
"I'm not, I didn't!" Natasha was a little anxious when she saw that this person didn't believe her even when she was telling the truth. "Reed has actually built the device, but when it runs, it can't find any future time nodes. Otherwise, he wouldn't need Silk's help."
"Oh." Connors nodded.
Natasha was almost going crazy. She had never seen such an unyielding man. It would be better if he just said yes or no. What did "Oh" mean?!
At this moment, Connors was deep in thought.
The World ending in three years... American comics are rebooted every now and then, and it's not uncommon for various villains to destroy the World.
He had transmigrated here. Eating melons was for getting stronger, and getting stronger was for living a quality life.
Both emotionally and logically, he couldn't just sit by and do nothing about such a major event.
But he couldn't fully believe Black Widow's words. He needed to find someone to test it out, and he already had the right person:
Flash Barry!
