MUP: Chapter 67. A Great Harvest

[Reputation points from Daredevil +700]

[Reputation pints from Jessica Jones +850]

[Reputation points from Luke Cage +1120]

'As expected, the deeper the impression left, the higher the reputation points obtained in the end.'

In the antique shop, releasing the technique to maintain the clone, Ryan looked at the number on the system data panel that far exceeded the numbers that had been there before and analysed it.

Ah Xing's exit was a plan he had written a long time ago. For one thing, he needed to use it to verify whether his guess about the reputation points was correct; For another, as the number of cards in his hand increased, naturally, he needed to drop some of the lesser cards. Of course, theoretically, [Ah Xing], as the most powerful card in Ryan's hand right now, shouldn't have gotten the fate of early elimination. However, the timing was just right.

With Madame Gao and Bullseye's appearance, the situation at the port gave Ryan a perfect exit opportunity.

Since the time, place and people were all there, he only needed to act out the scene that Jessica and the others saw.

Although the process was a bit hasty, the result was undoubtedly what Ryan expected.

The reputation points he got from the Defenders clarified most things for him.

This could also be a reward for [Ah Xing]'s perfect curtain call.

[Reputation points from Madame Gao +100]

[Reputation points from Bullseye +90]

It seemed like they noticed that something was wrong.

At that moment, two prompts emerged in the data panel, which caused Ryan to raise his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing with their own eyes that the fallen figure had suddenly disappeared, it wasn't strange for Madame Gao and Bullseye to feel surprised, giving Ryan some more reputation points.

However, it didn't matter to him that they were suppressed. Ryan had gotten the reputation points he wanted anyway.

Looking at the hundreds of points in his data panel, Ryan's heart started to stir.

These accumulated points had long been enough for Ryan to redeem one... No, two [Black Iron Treasure Chests].

However, recalling the previous battle in the port, Ryan immediately suppressed the idea of exchanging them for a treasure chest now.

At the moment, it was better for him to accumulate reputation points and bet on the items in a [Bronze Treasure Chest] than to hastily open one and only get a D-level card.

In the battle at the port, although Ryan wanted to leave, he couldn't ignore the threat from Madame Gao and Bullseye's groups. Facing bullets, [Ah Xing], which was drawn as a D-level card, was simply too ineffective.

Moreover, this was a joint attack from the Hand and Kingpin. Compared to the alien invasion in the streets of New York or Dormammu trying to conquer earth in the future, Ryan would only be dreaming if he still thought of only relying on a card like [Ah Xing].

Therefore, accumulating more points and constantly opening treasure chests to extract character cards with higher combat power was the most important thing Ryan should do right now. No, it should be said that if Ryan wanted to survive in this crisis-ridden Marvel world, it was the most important thing he should do.

　　...

While Ryan was figuring out where to go from here...

On the other side, the Defenders, who escaped from the port, were physically and mentally exhausted.

Ah Xing's 'sacrifice' was a big blow to everyone.

Especially for Jessica, because, in her opinion, Ah Xing had saved her ...

"It's my fault. If I hadn't told you guys about the port before investigating it, we wouldn't have fallen for the trap. And Ah Xing wouldn't need to ... save me."

"..."

"We were all fooled."

"Those clues were obviously a trap. It was obvious that someone wanted us to be at the port. They were ready to ambush us. "

Matt spoke in a hoarse voice after being silent for a long time. In fact, he blamed himself more than Jessica for the incident at the port. He was the one who invited Ah Xing to join the Defenders, ending up helplessly leaving him to die under the siege of the Hand and Kingpin's men.

Thinking about it that way, Matt subconsciously clenched his fist. Because of the agitation, the wound on his face bled out once again.

"Ah Xing was a friend." At this moment, Luke, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. His eyes turned red as he spoke word for word, "He came to Harlem and changed the streets. He was our hero. I won't let his sacrifice be in vain."

"For Ah Xing!"

Saying that Luke stretched out his fist.

"For Ah Xing!"

After a silent look, Jessica also stretched out her fists to join Luke's.

"For Ah Xing!"

Matt stretched out his hand and spoke in a low but firm tone.

[Reputation points from Daredevil +1200]

[Reputation pints from Jessica Jones +1000]

[Reputation points from Luke Cage +1150]

Ryan: "???"

　　...

"I clearly saw him fall."

At the port, Bullseye looked at the empty ground in front of him. His tone was full of doubts and disbelief.

"Why is there nothing left? Where's the blood? Where's his body?!" His eyes swept over everything around him, but there wasn't a single trace of the guy.

On the other hand, Madame Gao was silently watching everything before saying, "Maybe, it's because he's special."

"Special?"

Bullseye grimaced and subconsciously turned his head.

"You seem to know something?"

Thinking back to the first meeting between herself and Ah Xing at her factory, when the other party claimed to be from Peng Lai, Madame Gao was increasingly convinced of a certain suspicion in her mind.

As someone who had stolen the power of immortality from K'un-Lun and defected, Madame Gao subconsciously connected the mysterious Peng Lai that Ah Xing had mentioned with the K'un-Lun she remembered. In effect, it elevated Peng Lai's level of danger in her mind.

"Go back and tell Kingpin that this time our operation has failed. There's going to be a tough battle waiting for us next, so he should be prepared."

"I don't think they'll pose a threat to Kingpin." Bullseye sneered, seemingly unimpressed.

"Believe me, I know how much power anger would draw out of people. What's more, isn't the reason for this battle today because they've become a threat to us?"

Bullseye: "..."

[Reputation points from Madame Gao +135]

Ryan: "!?"
