After being pummeled in the chest by those small fists for no reason, Li Pu finally remembered that the girl in front of him seemed to be a superhero.
"Strong, loves to drink, looks decent but unfortunately as flat as a runway... this girl's name is... right, she's Jessica Jones!"
As soon as he remembered the girl's name, Li Pu also thought of another person—the culprit behind the series of misfortunes Jessica Jones faced growing up.
That guy's name was too long for Li Pu to remember clearly, but he recalled he was a pervert who loved wearing purple clothes.
This pervert was a supervillain who could forcibly control others through hormones secreted by his own body.
Because of his obsession with Jessica, he had forcibly controlled her and kept her by his side for a long time.
Besides that, the Purple Man also utilized her superpowers to commit crimes like murder for him.
And just as serial killers often like to reappear near the crime scene, this Purple Man also particularly enjoyed controlling Jessica from a close distance to commit evil deeds.
Thus, Li Pu immediately located the "Purple Man."
Because this person's Qi was very disgusting.
Although he was hidden well at first, his emotions immediately shifted when he saw Li Pu take over a dozen of Jessica's punches without injury and then knock her unconscious with a mere flick to the forehead.
His Qi could no longer be hidden.
Moreover, he even tried to use hormone control to manipulate Li Pu and the others in the tavern.
Unfortunately, for someone with the [Human Emperor Talent], such hormone control was completely insignificant in the face of Psionic Power.
Furthermore, on Li Pu's current attribute panel, his Physique attribute had already broken past 200. The Purple Man's hormones would be decomposed the moment they entered his body, failing to have any effect at all.
Only the Purple Man himself still felt he was in control of everything—though, besides Li Pu, the others in the bar were indeed affected by the hormones.
However, this actually made things easier for Li Pu.
Before the guy could start gloating or do anything else, Li Pu appeared right beside him.
"Come, open your mouth. My treat—have an 'egg'."
Although Li Pu didn't know hormone control, he knew psionic control. Using Psychokinesis, he tightly gripped the Purple Man's neck and lifted the pervert straight up.
The Purple Man felt like he was about to stop breathing, so he could only open his mouth wide, trying to suck in more air.
Li Pu then reached out and generously fed a whole Ki Blast into the scoundrel's mouth.
Different people require different treatments.
A few days ago, he had slaughtered a foreign drug dealer who dared to peddle drugs near the community school he ran. To warn others in Hell's Kitchen, he left the guy's body intact, then specifically found a student's parent to "help" encase it in cement before sinking it into the sea.
But now, for this Purple Man, Li Pu didn't want to leave an intact corpse.
Because seeing Agent Coulson just now vaguely reminded him of some anime commentaries he had watched.
He remembered the commentary saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. had not only recruited the Purple Man but had also seemingly created a clone of him after his death to continue utilizing his hormone control ability.
Although he didn't remember the specifics, Li Pu felt that such a pervert was better off disappearing completely.
After all, as long as this guy was alive, he was truly a scourge who wasted and polluted the air with his hormones.
So, Li Pu "treated" him to a Ki Blast, evaporating the guy from the inside out until not even a speck of dust remained.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. could still find some cells to clone the Purple Man after this, Li Pu could only express his sincere admiration.
By now, Li Pu was very skilled with this move; only the Purple Man's physical body was evaporated.
His shirt and pants were all preserved.
While the crowd had yet to break free from the hormone-controlled state and the tavern felt frozen in time, Li Pu rummaged through the Purple Man's remaining belongings.
He found a flip phone.
Phones these days didn't have passwords or anything; you could see the messages as soon as you opened them.
With the intent of giving it a try, Li Pu scrolled through the saved messages and actually found one.
"...Go find that 'nouveau riche' named Li Pu. Give him a lesson and make sure he doesn't covet things that shouldn't belong to him.
If he dares to refuse, then take him out. I've already transferred the money to your account."
After reading this text, Li Pu was basically certain that this Purple Man was a thug hired by the Stark Industries legal department.
Unfortunately, this guy's fists weren't hard enough, and this time he had kicked a steel plate.
"Shouldn't covet? Covet your mother!"
Cursing under his breath, he decided to send this phone along with some late-night snacks to the Neil Murdock Law Firm later. He'd let Matt and Foggy figure out a way to see if they could squeeze some extra profit out of Stark Industries with it.
Just as Li Pu was lost in thought, the Purple Man's hormone control effect finally wore off, and the people in the bar "came back to life."
"I, I... what is..."
Jessica also scrambled up from the ground, looking at her hands, which had swollen like bear paws, in surprise.
Seeing this scene, Li Pu couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
The strength of that forehead flick just now was perfect—stunning without damaging the brain.
This showed that his control over his power had improved significantly, which was also a benefit of regular sparring with Little Broly... Seeing Li Pu approaching the bar holding a bundle of flamboyant purple suit jacket and pants, Old Dutch kindly asked, "Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, the trouble is settled."
Li Pu waved his hand at the old man and asked him to find a bag to hold the suit.
Since the two had known each other for two or three years, Old Dutch roughly knew that Li Pu had some "specialties."
Seeing that Li Pu had said so, Old Dutch set his heart at ease.
"Boss, Old Dutch, what are you talking about?" Luke Kid, who was standing nearby, was still a bit confused and asked foolishly.
The old bartender rolled his eyes at the young Black man while grabbing a paper bag used for drinks and milk tea to help Li Pu pack away the Purple Man's clothes.
"I bought a watch last year," Old Dutch said, showing the mechanical watch on his wrist to Luke Kid. "Didn't you notice anything unusual in the last minute or two?"
"Huh?"
Luke Kid finally reacted, his eyes widening as he subconsciously reached behind his back.
"Just now..."
This time it was Li Pu's turn to roll his eyes at him.
"You should watch fewer of those Japanese adult films with simple sets. Watching too many easily affects your IQ and isn't good for your health.
You finally found a girlfriend; don't let Temple get dissatisfied and kick you to the curb later."
"Hey, Boss, what kind of person do you take me for?" Luke Kid thumped his chest hard. "Besides, my Physique is absolutely top-notch."
Li Pu stuffed the phone into the bag with the Purple Man's clothes and then tossed the paper bag to him.
"Stop talking nonsense. Go to Aunt May's fast food shop and pack two orders of late-night snacks. Ask for extra Sichuan Pepper Spicy Sauce packets.
Then, deliver this paper bag along with the snacks to Foggy and Matt's law firm. Just say someone tried to play dirty with me just now, and the result was..."
Li Pu showed a cruel smile and made a "throat-slitting" gesture to Luke Kid.
"...That person disappeared, leaving only these things behind. Let them see if these are useful or not."
Then, Li Pu looked at Agent Coulson, who was staring at the Purple Man's clothes with a frown, remaining silent.
"Luke Kid, if anyone dares to snatch what I'm having you deliver—whether it's the evidence bag, the snacks, or even a single packet of Sichuan Pepper Spicy Sauce—do to them what you often do in the restroom: smash them against the wall for me!"
