MUP: Chapter 137. Quick Draw

With a strong Texas accent...

The thin man who appeared at the door of the martial arts school was wearing jeans, a white cowboy hat, a red scarf around his neck, a revolver around his waist, a toothpick in his mouth and a carefree expression. He looked like a cowboy who came out of a 1960s western.

"Who're you?"

Looking at the cowboy who appeared in the doorway, Jessica had a vague suspicion in her mind but wasn't entirely sure.

"Luke..." Lifting his cowboy hat, the man bit the toothpick in his mouth and introduced himself, "From the Brotherhood."

"The Brotherhood?!" Hearing the name from Lucky Luke's lips, the Punisher couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked somewhat surprised.

"What's the matter?" Noticing Frank's expression, Luke Cage immediately asked.

"I've heard about them before. A guy that could curve bullets invited me to join." Frank didn't hide it and told them about his earlier encounter with Wesley Gibson. The Punished was quite impressed with that guy's trick.

"..."

The Punisher's words caused the Defenders within the martial arts hall to fall silent for a moment. It was obvious that they had already figured out that the person who could make bullets turn, as the other party had said, was Wesley, who had died at the end of their fight with the Beast.

"What's the matter?"

Noticing the change in the atmosphere, the Punisher immediately asked.

After glancing around, Luke Cage finally spoke up, "The guy you mentioned... his name is Wesley. He was one of us."

"Was?" Noticing the word Cage used, Frank caught the atmosphere in the martial arts hall. Without saying a word, he understood what had happened to Wesley.

Pulling herself together, Jessica looked at the cowboy who had arrived from the Brotherhood and opened her mouth to thank him, "Thanks for coming, Luke."

"You don't need to thank me, Ma'am." Obviously, Luke and Wesley were completely different. Facing Jessica's gratitude, Luke took off his cowboy hat and responded with a smile, "We have the same purpose, to fight Jui You."

"So what could you do? You turn your bullets too?"

Ignoring the atmosphere, Frank suddenly spoke up. He stared at Lucky Luke and directly asked. He always had a bit of a bone to pick with Wesley about the previous scene where he unleashed the swerving bullet and had even devised a few tricks for that purpose, specifically targeting the swerving bullet attacks.

Unexpectedly, when he was prepared, Wesley had already ...

And Lucky Luke's presence had sparked the Punisher's desire to fight once more.

Shaking his head gently, Luke's reply was destined to disappoint the Punisher, "Sorry, I can't do anything like that. At best, I can shoot a little faster."

"How fast?" A look of obvious disappointment crossed Frank's face at Luke's remark; as a former United States Marine, he was also a fast shooter.

Bang --

However, in the next second, Frank understood how fast the other person could draw.

With a crisp sound of a gunshot, the Punisher didn't even see how Luke on the other side of the room had struck. He only noticed that the opponent had slightly raised his arm before he heard the dull sound of a bullet piercing an object behind him. When he looked back, he realised that a clear bullet mark had appeared on the wooden dummy on one side of the martial arts hall.

With a toothpick in his mouth, Luke's left hand gently pressed his cowboy hat back on, and he softly chuckled, "That's about it."

There were only two people in the entire martial arts school who actually noticed Luke firing, no, only Matt, to be precise. Ip Man, as a clone, would have known that he would shoot. With his super senses, Matt could vaguely detect Luke's movements as he picked up his revolver and fired. However, he could only notice it, and he couldn't dodge that bullet in such a brief moment, especially in an actual fight.

"The Brotherhood."

Muttering and repeating the name of the organisation, Luke's appearance and his fantastic gun skills undoubtedly gave Matt some confidence.

'Maybe, we could really stop Jiu You.'

...

"Blazing Soul!"

With a single slash, a figure slashed through a gang member. Ryan had no qualms about cutting down these members of the gangs in Hell's Kitchen. Before he came here, he had already found out that this gang had been engaged in human trafficking for a long time. They didn't deserve sympathy.

Looking at the burning corpses in front of him, Shishio let out an ear-piercing evil laugh, "You know, in this world, the weak are sustenance to the strong. The strong live..." Raising the blade in his hand and pointing it at the corpse on the ground, Shishio spoke in a deep and cruel tone, "And like him, the weak... should die. Is there value in keeping you alive?"

As he spoke, Shishio slowly turned his bandaged face at Bullseye behind him.

Faced with Shishio's terrifying demon-like appearance, even Bullseye, who was also a murderer, felt a shudder in his heart. He unnaturally averted his eyes and replied in a cold tone, "I don't need you to decide my value."

With that, he glanced at the bodies of the gang members that littered the ground in front of him, most of which had been decapitated by Shishio.

"Kingpin's plan was to annex the other groups." Shishio's method was too brutal, and he didn't follow Kingpin's plans at all.

Sheathing his sword, Shishio replied with a cold expression, "Weaklings are a waste of oxygen, there's no value in letting them live."

"Also, tell Kingpin that I like his ambition, but hopefully, next time he'll bring me a better match rather than these useless losers."

Having said that and ignoring Bullseye's reaction, Shishio turned around and walked away from the scene.

As a member of Jiu You, he didn't need to show any respect to Kingpin.
