Chapter 38: Dual Daggers Face Single Dagger

Kingpin's face was extremely ugly.

Currently, the only people standing beside him were Erica and the Nine-Spider Bride, who was skilled in using poison but not combat.

Black Widow and Wade had betrayed him, and Murakami had been stabbed in the collarbone and kicked hard in the waist. He was already unable to stand.

Sowanda and Echo Maya had been ambushed, and their strongest fighter, Speed Demon, was lying in the arms of the enemy. It was all over!

Cohen smiled and casually tossed the half-cooked Speed Demon aside. He looked at Kingpin and said, "Look, I'm teaching you another lesson.

Choosing teammates is an art.

You not only have to discover their talent, but also beware of impulsive teammates who might be liabilities.

Most importantly, be careful of traitors.

They will stab you in the back at the crucial moment."

"Yep, he's talking about us!" Wade chuckled, giving a victory gesture.

Black Widow rolled her eyes and said to Kingpin, "Let me clarify first, I'm not a traitor. I was an undercover agent from the start. Kingpin, you're under arrest!"

Kingpin's eyes widened, gripping his staff tightly, glaring at Cohen, his voice filled with malice. "But even so, I still want to kill you. These two may not be able to stop me!"

"Heh, are you sure?" Cohen raised his right hand, and several small electric arcs flashed between his fingers, making a crackling sound.

But this was just a scare tactic.

He no longer had the strength to release a powerful electric shock; these were only residual energies.

However, Kingpin didn't know that.

Unexpectedly, he stared at the electric sparks on Cohen's hand for a while, then shook his head. "My instincts tell me you're almost at your limit!"

Ha, this fat guy is really hard to intimidate!

In his heart, Cohen quickly communicated with the system. After the previous battle with the first wave of gunmen, he had received a Black Iron-grade gift pack.

Opening it, he gained three free attribute points, adding them all to his constitution along with the previous five points.

Immediately, he felt much lighter.

He let out a loud shout: "Wade, kill Kingpin! Natalia, deal with Erica, and I'll take care of the most troublesome poison girl!"

Wade and Black Widow exchanged glances, and Wade obediently moved forward.

Black Widow gritted her teeth and had no choice but to engage Erica.

Cohen wore a sly grin as he focused on the flustered Nine-Spider Bride.

She was an Asian woman with a good appearance, her face painted with intimidating smoky makeup.

She was a subordinate of the Hand's Madam, highly skilled with poison, and had some knowledge of martial arts, though she was far from Cohen's level.

"Little lady, let's get started~"

Cohen lunged at her.

The other two battles had already begun.

Black Widow was doing fine, evenly matched.

Wade was at a disadvantage though, his strength nowhere near Kingpin's, and while he wielded dual daggers skillfully, he quickly fell into a losing position when they clashed.

What was most unusual was Cohen, who had several poison needles embedded in his chest, yet he seemed unaffected, chasing the Nine-Spider Bride around.

"Heh, don't run away…"

Gradually, the two moved away from the other fights. Cohen tilted his head, his muscles erupting with strength, his speed increasing, and he directly caught the Nine-Spider Bride, pulling her into his arms.

The Nine-Spider Bride was terrified: "Y-you, how..."

Cohen snorted, "You're wondering how I'm not poisoned?"

He lowered his head, getting close to her neck: "Honey, have you ever seen a vampire poisoned to death?"

With that, he bit down!

"Uh—" The Nine-Spider Bride's eyes widened instantly.

The fangs sank in.

He injected his venom.

Cohen released the limp Nine-Spider Bride, wiped the blood from his lips, and said, "Alright, stay here for now, you can escape later.

Remember to come to my room at midnight tomorrow!"

The Nine-Spider Bride, her head spinning, didn't respond.

Although she hadn't fully transformed yet, she would remember his orders once she became a vampire.

Cohen returned to the battlefield.

The combatants had already changed.

After Wade lost his fight with Kingpin, he swapped opponents with Black Widow.

Black Widow circled with Kingpin using her agility, while Wade clashed blades with Erica.

He kept complaining: "...No, Erica, you're hurting me!

This battle shouldn't be like this!

Stop, let's kill the old boss together, and I'll have my current boss double your payment..."

Cohen approached them: "Erica, do you know Matt Murdock, the lawyer?

I'm good friends with him!

Surrender, and for his sake, I won't kill you today!"

Just as Cohen finished speaking, Erica didn't make a move, but Kingpin ran away instead, his obese body suddenly bursting with speed.

He swung his staff backward, and with a loud explosion, smoke filled the air.

By the time Cohen reacted, Erica was also nowhere to be seen.

"Fuck, where did they go?"

Black Widow shook her head: "They escaped. Kingpin arranged a special escape route."

"Then why aren't you chasing them?!"

Wade shrugged: "Boss, I don't trust this woman. I think you need my personal protection!"

He stood in front of Cohen, glaring at Black Widow dramatically.

Cohen helplessly glanced at Black Widow: "You want to protect me up close too?"

Black Widow shook her head: "To be exact, I'm monitoring you."

Cohen tossed her a business card: "The next scene is not suitable for kids. Call me tomorrow, and we'll find a proper place to have a deeper exchange!"

Black Widow took the card but showed no sign of leaving.

At that moment, a loud explosion was heard, followed by the roar of a motorcycle approaching quickly.

Another master with blades—the Blade .

"Skrrr!"

The motorcycle skidded into position in front of the three.

"Clang!"

The long blade was drawn, Blade exuding dominance: "Who blocked the door and beat up my friend like this? Do you want to die?

Did you two see that?"

Cohen rolled his eyes. "Why didn't you wait for me to die first?

Were you a cop in your past life?"

Wade looked at the long blade in his hand, then at Blade's, eyes widening: "Hey, what a coincidence, I'm good with a long blade too!"

Black Widow considered for a moment, then said, "You better remember to call me.

Damn… Iron Man!"

Then she left.

As she exited the parking lot, she pulled out a small earpiece from somewhere: "Fall back, this isn't the right time to capture him."

After a while, Coulson's voice was heard: "I saw a motorcycle blow through the exit and crash in.What happened, Natasha?"

"Something… unexpected. I'll explain later!"

After Black Widow left, Cohen looked around.

The good news was that everyone on the ground was still alive.

Even Sowanda, stabbed through, was still stubbornly hanging on, after having lived for hundreds of years thanks to his Dragon Bone, his survival instincts incredibly strong.

Three silvers and one bronze.

For the three silver bosses, Cohen put in some effort, making Wade and Blade Edge look at him strangely.

Cohen helplessly thought, "Isn't it just tying them to the back of a truck and dragging them to death?Not a big deal, not like it's your property being dirtied!"

After the three died nearly simultaneously, Cohen received a five-star silver-grade gift pack as expected.

Come on, real men opens them immediately!

If the system is generous enough, I'll go chase Kingpin right now!
