Lin Feng thought of the many plotlines that unfolded in Hell's Kitchen: the love-hate saga between Daredevil and Kingpin, the shadowy movements of The Hand... even the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man would frequent this place in the future.
Perhaps he could replace Kingpin and become the true Uncrowned King of this district.
"I need to play this hand carefully," Lin Feng mused, silently calculating his future moves. A single check-in wouldn't be enough to satisfy him.
...
The night grew heavier. Over half an hour passed. Elektra remained motionless in the darkness, like a crouching predator waiting for the prey to walk into the trap. Seeing that Matt had seemingly truly left, she finally made her decision.
Whoosh!
Elektra blurred into motion, using the cover of night to slip into the law firm. She moved like a phantom, silent as a shadow as she traversed the hallway.
Moments later, she reached the workstation where Foggy was sitting and stared at his back through the darkness. Foggy was still busy organizing files, completely unaware that death was standing right behind him.
"I'm sorry. This is my mission," Elektra's eyes hardened into a cold glint as her razor-sharp dagger caught a stray beam of light.
But the moment she struck...
Clang!
Daredevil appeared out of nowhere, his reinforced blind cane intercepting her blade. The sound of clashing metal echoed through the silent office.
"Matt?!" Elektra gasped, stunned. She realized she had been played.
"Why?" Matt's voice was deep and filled with a trembling complexity. "Elektra, what are you doing? Why are you trying to hurt my friend?"
"Huh?!" Only then did Foggy react. He looked at Elektra in shock. Hearing Matt's words, he scrambled in terror to hide behind his friend.
"Elektra, I never did anything to you!" Foggy pleaded with her. "And besides, you and Matt used to be a thing! There's no need for this to be a life-or-death situation, right?"
"..."
Elektra bit her lip. Her gaze darkened as she glared at Matt. A second later, she lunged again, her dagger bypassing Matt and darting toward Foggy once more!
Swish!
Matt had anticipated the move and struck out to block her. His cane whistled through the air!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two moved in a blur. Within seconds, the office was turned into a shambles, furniture shattered and files scattered. Foggy cowered in the corner, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile, outside the office...
"Hmph. Damnable woman, you really did betray the boss. In that case..."
Bullseye, who had been tailing her in secret, sneered to himself. Hearing the commotion inside, he let out a cold laugh and hoisted an RPG-7 onto his shoulder. This was a weapon Kingpin had painstakingly smuggled in through black market connections.
New York was a lethal, bustling metropolis. Even with Kingpin's influence, getting an RPG into the city was a massive headache. Using it would inevitably draw the ire of the authorities.
But today was the day to wipe out Daredevil once and for all! If it weren't for that, Kingpin would never have authorized the use of such a high-profile weapon.
"You bitch, and you, Daredevil... go to hell together!!"
With a cruel grin, Bullseye pulled the trigger. The rocket roared to life!
BOOM!
The rocket smashed through the office window, the sound of shattering glass lost in the roar of the propulsion. The air was instantly filled with the stench of death as time seemed to slow to a crawl.
"!!!"
Elektra and Matt felt an indescribable dread wash over them simultaneously. The alarms in the depths of their souls screamed. They locked eyes for a split second, a silent understanding passing between them. They instantly ceased their combat, trying to find a way to escape.
However, time was a luxury they didn't have. Matt instinctively lunged toward Foggy, trying to pull him to safety. But that split-second of hesitation put him in the direct path of danger.
ROAR—
Just as the shockwave of the explosion reached them, Elektra realized there was no more time for doubt. She leaped with all her might, her strong arms shoving both Matt and Foggy away.
In the next heartbeat, she took the brunt of the blast.
With a deafening roar, the missile detonated inside the office. Flames erupted, turning the room as bright as day. Shrapnel flew in every direction, and a violent gale of dust and debris swept outward. All three were hurled through the air, crashing violently onto the street below.
Matt struggled to his feet, his mind filled with panic. "Elektra?!"
Before him, Elektra lay on the pavement, her face ashen, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of her mouth.Foggy could only stare blankly at the scene. He found it impossible to believe the chaos and horror he had just witnessed.
Meanwhile, Bullseye, the architect of this destruction, felt a surge of manic rage.
"Damnable woman, actually willing to sacrifice herself to protect others! What a fool! The boss was right about you—you really are a traitor!"
"In that case, I'll send you all to hell together!!"
With a cold sneer, Bullseye gripped his weapon tightly. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, locked onto his target in an instant, and he lunged forward like a pouncing predator.
"Die, Daredevil!!"
Bullseye's heart raced, a sinister smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he violently flicked the bullet in his hand.
