Just Like This

After detecting the traces of Daredevil and the others, Russell didn't stop slurping his noodles.

The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing!

The so-called Defenders wasn't enough for him to put down his chopsticks.

Although he hadn't interacted with Daredevil before, he could probably guess why Daredevil and the others were coming to find him.

Most likely, Daredevil was here for Punisher.

Due to his bloody and violent methods, most superheroes tended to avoid Punisher, not considering him a part of their ranks, and sometimes even coming into conflict with him.

However, despite this, Punisher still had some fairly good friends among the superheroes.

Daredevil was one of them.

The reason, of course, was that both he and Daredevil were people with strong and radical personalities.

Although there weren't any witnesses to the battle between him and Punisher, a little investigation into Punisher's actions before his death could reveal who exactly killed him.

An eye for an eye, to root out completely!

The style of Mad Traveler was no secret in New York's underworld.

Russell paid no attention to Daredevil and the others outside the restaurant, earnestly savoring the beef noodles in front of him.

The restaurant owner was a recent immigrant who came to the United States, running a small-scale restaurant as a couple. Although the restaurant's ambiance was unremarkable, the owner's culinary skills were authentic, not compromising the traditional techniques passed down from ancestors to cater to American tastes.

Russell had visited the restaurant a few times before, making him a regular customer.

After finishing the last bowl of beef noodles along with the soup, he took out two hundred dollars from his wallet and used the emptied bowl to press down a corner.

Taking a toothpick from the toothpick container and placing it in his mouth, he got up and headed outside.

"Thank you for the meal. The owner's cooking is quite good."

Passing by the restaurant's owner, who was also the waitress, Russell took the toothpick out of his mouth, and said a few words to the owner.

Afterward, he nodded at the owner and quickly left the restaurant.

Once outside the restaurant, he put the toothpick back in his mouth and motioned with his finger towards Daredevil, who was standing on the dimly lit street corner across the street.

You want revenge for Punisher, right? If you're not afraid of death, then come on over!

Provokingly beckoning to Daredevil, he didn't wait for Daredevil's response and turned to walk towards a small alleyway away from the restaurant.

One against four!

It seemed a bit troublesome, but once he actually started, Russell didn't feel it was much of a challenge.

Although Daredevil had four extraordinary senses besides sight and was skilled in various combat techniques, his physical strength was still within the realm of a normal human.

Luke Cage and Jessica Jones posed a slightly greater challenge.

Both of them possessed superhuman physiques far beyond that of regular humans, with strength and physical capabilities that met the standards of superhumans.

But Russell had superhuman abilities too, and his were even stronger than theirs.

As for Iron Fist.

His physique wasn't on par with Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.

However, having trained in K'un-Lun, he had access to a special energy called "qi" that could be used to enhance his own abilities or perform extraordinary feats.

But dealing with him wouldn't be significantly more difficult.

In a gaming scenario where the level and power balance weren't too disparate, a group of four bronze-tier players might be able to take down a single king-tier player.

Unfortunately, reality wasn't a game, devoid of so-called balance mechanisms.

In reality, the strong remained strong, and the weak remained weak!

If you wanted to defy fate, you had to see if you had the protagonist's halo!

Russell walked ahead, and Daredevil and his group approached from different directions.

As he stepped into the dim, damp alleyway littered with trash, Daredevil and his team also quickly entered the alley.

Russell didn't attempt to escape.

Not long after entering the alley, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and awaited the arrival of Daredevil and his team.

Before too much time had passed, Daredevil and his group appeared before him.

"Before we start fighting, is there anything you want to say?"

"Perhaps berate me for my sins, give a declaration of justice or something?"

Russell cracked his neck and spat out the toothpick in his mouth, arrogantly saying.

"With someone like you, there's nothing to say!"

The leader of the group, Daredevil, held two multi-purpose short clubs named "Billy Clubs" in his hands and spoke coldly.

"If there's nothing to say, then why bother answering? Got nothing better to do?"

Russell sneered disdainfully.

Although the appearance of Daredevil and his team wasn't in his expectations, it had to be said that their presence slightly disrupted his plans.

With his girlfriend away on a business trip, he could indulge himself by gaming all night long.

Yet unexpectedly, someone had to come out seeking trouble.

"Don't waste your breath on him, let's settle him quickly. I have a bad feeling about this!"

Iron Fist, wearing a green tight-fitting uniform with a yellow head covering, approached Daredevil and said slowly.

As he finished speaking, Luke Cage was the first to charge towards Russell.

Luke Cage, a tall and burly figure, rushed towards Russell like a heavy truck.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Russell, and his black fist, resembling an iron hammer, swung toward Russell's head.

Boom!

Russell didn't dodge or evade; he swung his own fist.

In terms of height, he was about seventeen to eighteen centimeters shorter than Luke Cage.

In terms of weight, with only around 70 kilograms, he was far from matching Luke Cage's weight of 193 kilograms.

However, in the world of superhumans, strength wasn't solely determined by body size.

Looking like a normal person but being able to lift dozens of tons with bare hands, superhumans didn't come in a particular size.

After the exchange of fists, both he and Luke Cage took several steps back.

Russell took three steps back, while Luke Cage had to retreat seven steps to regain his balance.

"Is that all?"

"Based on this, you guys want to defend your so-called justice? Treating me like this, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"

After experiencing the force of Luke Cage's punches, Russell said displeasedly.

The next second, without giving Luke Cage and the others a chance for another attack, he exerted force with his legs and shot towards Luke Cage, as if he were a cannonball, heading straight for him.

Without any hesitation, his fists swung like Gatling guns, relentlessly pounding towards Luke Cage, who was tall and well-built.

Luke Cage was caught off guard by Russell's proactive attack in the midst of being surrounded.

Under his unexpected attack, he took several punches from Russell.

Taking a few punches might not have been a big deal for him individually.

However, the issue was that he lost the initiative, leaving him with no chance to counterattack.

Furthermore, while he struggled to block Russell's punches, Russell's right hand suddenly pressed against his head.

Boom!

Russell's right arm, pressing against Luke Cage's head, exerted force, forcefully slamming Luke Cage to the ground, allowing his large and round head to experience an excitingly intimate encounter with the ground.
