Chapter 9. Serious Injury.

As some people say, fooling one person was a lie, fooling two was a con.

Since Daredevil delivered the reputation points willingly, naturally, Ryan would gladly accept it.

Taking Ryan's words into account, Madame Gao reluctantly gathered the look of surprise on her face and then turned to question, "If you claim that you're from Peng Lai, there shouldn't be any enmity between us. Why did you come here to trouble me? "

"Would you believe me if I said that it was all just coincidence?"

"What do you think?" Madame Gao said with a cold face, looking at the security men who had fallen beside her.

In this world, no one believed in telling the truth anymore.

Looking at Madame Gao's expression, Ryan knew that the other party didn't believe his words at all, even if what he was saying was actually the truth.

Silently shaking his head, he then raised his head and continued to act according to the image he was playing, "Peng Lai may be secluded, but it doesn't mean that there is no right and wrong. Moreover, the practice of blinding others for personal gain is against the heavenly principle and is close to the devil's way. I won't allow you to continue with such practice!"

"Another existence similar to K'un-Lun? Indeed, whether it's K'un-Lun or Peng Lai, they're both equally annoying."

In response to Ryan's blunt reply, Madame Gao slightly lowered her head and whispered as if she was reminiscing and resentful.

While seeing that scene, Ryan subconsciously tensed his nerves with a nervous look on his face.

Because this old woman had lived for hundreds of years, he was sure that Madame Gao had some tricks up her sleeve.

The more she looked like this, the more he had to stay calm.

When Ryan and Madame Gao silently confronted each other...

Somewhere else, Daredevil, who had been hiding in the shadows, couldn't bear it any longer. He came to Madame Gao's factory not only to fight the evil forces entrenched in Hell's Kitchen but also to find out the relationship between Madame Gao and Kingpin and search for incriminating evidence.

"Tell me what's really going on between you and Kingpin ..."

Leaping down from his high perch, Daredevil walked straight toward Madame Gao.

"Look out!"

Ryan only had time to utter a word of caution.

Then he saw Madame Gao, opposite him, swiftly turn back with a movement completely different from her aged appearance. She swung her palm and sent Daredevil flying directly towards Ryan's direction, then quickly ran away.

The old lady was quick-footed, and she didn't look like a person who had lived for hundreds of years.

Ryan reached out to catch the flying Daredevil, and with a slight bend in his legs, he was able to counteract the force of the impact.

Looking at Daredevil, who had a pained expression on his face, he spoke in half-truths.

"You're so impulsive. Even I'm not sure I can restrain her."

"Who the hell are you?!"

"My name is Ah Xing, from Peng Lai."

"And what is your relationship with Madame Gao? Why does she have the power to send people flying with a single slap!" Daredevil, clenching his teeth, questioned Ryan with a pained look on his face.

"I'm not sure, but I could sense that she wasn't simple. And then, you proved it for me."

Daredevil: "..."

"It's too late, I have to ..."

Feeling the taste of blood filling his mouth, Daredevil spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up from Ryan's support, only to stumble and fall to the ground immediately. He covered his chest with a painful expression on his face.

Seeing that, Ryan reached down and ripped the uniform off Daredevil's chest, saw the clear palm marks Madame Gao had left on his body and said, "You're badly hurt and need immediate treatment."

"No, there's something more important waiting for me to complete."

The constant sharp pain in his chest was causing Daredevil pain, but he kept struggling to get up.

"You'll only aggravate your injury by doing that." Looking at Daredevil, who kept struggling to get up in front of him, Ryan couldn't help but say, "What is it? Can't you do it tomorrow?"

"Help me, Ah Xing!"

The repeated struggles seemed to drain the last ounce of strength from Daredevil's body. He fell to the ground and turned his head towards Ryan, "If Peng Lai is really a place that holds justice, as you say, then you will definitely help me."

"Since you've said that, then of course, I'll do something about it." Ryan followed through with his act, nodding his head in response without a second thought.

Hearing Ryan's response, Daredevil fell to the ground as if a weight had been lifted, "Help me, get all the people out of the factory. Those are innocent people, victims of Madame Gao."

At this moment, regardless of Ryan's thoughts on superheroes, what Daredevil said somewhat moved him.

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

　　...

The workers in the factory were dispersed.

Ryan returned to Daredevil's side and helped the superhero, who was starting to fall unconscious.

"Wait a minute, Ah Xing, please do one last thing for me ..."

Vaguely aware of Ryan's figure, Daredevil used the last bit of strength he had to hold on.

"Dude, you're hurt pretty badly. Stop talking, can't you just rest?"

Ryan looked at Daredevil with a bemused look on his face, 'Are all superheroes so thick-headed?'

"This is my last ... request ..."

"All right, you name it, but don't ask for anything too much." Ryan looked at Daredevil with compassion. The guy looked as if he was going to die in the next second, looking like he might take his last breath at any time.

"Help me, burn the factory."

Leaving those words behind, Daredevil's head tilted, and he simply passed out.

Ryan turned his head to look at Daredevil, who had fallen on top of himself with a serious injury. Then, looked back at Madame Gao's factory and silently sighed.

'In the end, I became Daredevil's babysitter instead.'

With that thought, Ryan kicked up the submachine gun that was on the floor effortlessly with his foot and shot out. He hit the oil drums stored in the factory and caused a spark that ignited the oil. The fire soon spread throughout the factory. Soon fire spread, lighting up the factory's surroundings as if it were daytime.

The fire quickly came close to where Ryan was standing. Hearing the faint sound of fire alarms in the distance, Ryan stopped and ran out of the room, dragging the unconscious Daredevil with him.

　　...

Knock, knock, knock --

"Who is it?"

A sharp knock at the door caused Claire to feel alarmed. She cautiously made her way to the door, but instead of opening it rashly, she frowned and glanced out through the cat's eye. At the door, the empty sight made Claire's already furrowed brow tighten even more.

She backed up to the kitchen and picked up the pan. Feeling the heavy weight in her hands reassured Claire a little. After that, she carefully turned the handle to open the door.

Then, Claire saw Daredevil lying unconscious in the hallway.

"Matt!"
