Negative Energy

White suit, white tie, white hair, white eyebrows, white eyes...

Except for his skin turning black, most of Mr. Negative's appearance has turned white.

Although his appearance looks quite abnormal, it has to be said that he looks handsome in this form.

In Russell's opinion, Mr. Negative in this form is much handsomer than his normal human form.

In his black and white appearance, Mr. Negative now holds a samurai sword snatched from a Hand ninja. He holds the sword in his right hand while releasing mixed black and eerie white negative energy from his left hand.

Despite the Hand ninjas having an absolute numerical advantage, they haven't gained much advantage against Mr. Negative.

While Mr. Negative's combat skills aren't particularly formidable, he possesses immensely powerful negative energy.

Under his fierce attacks, the Hand ninjas besieging him are reduced to ashes and disappear.

Whether due to being carried away or because Mr. Negative simply doesn't see them as comrades, Bullseye, who is demonstrating extraordinary throwing abilities, is also within the range of Mr. Negative's attacks.

Mr. Negative, Bullseye, Madame Gao's trio, and the Hand ninjas...

This office floor, once neatly organized and filled with desks, now looks like a battlefield in Syria—complete chaos.

Due to the intense chaos, whether it's Mr. Negative and Bullseye, or Madame Gao's group, none of them have noticed Russell standing quietly on the side, observing the battle.

Though Russell hasn't joined the fight, he's not idle either.

As Mr. Negative wreaks havoc and releases negative energy frantically, a small black tendril surges out from his right hand. It collects the shattered fragments of furniture scattered in the distance.

This is a fragment of an ordinary desk, with a plain and unremarkable material.

What truly captures Russell's attention isn't the material of the fragments, but the lingering negative energy that hasn't dissipated.

Staring at the black and white negative energy burning on the fragments like flames, he extends his left hand, allowing the symbiote to cover the entire hand, transforming it into a form resembling a demonic claw.

Then, he uses the demonic claw-like left hand to touch the lingering negative energy.

Although the black and white negative energy burns like flames, it lacks any warmth and instead exudes a chilling sensation, akin to gripping an ice cube.

The negative energy, previously burning on the furniture fragments, transfers to his left hand.

Is this the negative energy that can evolve Venom into an Anti-Venom serum?

Russell observes the negative energy on his left hand with interest.

While he knows that Mr. Negative's negative energy can evolve Venom into a serum, he doesn't have a clear idea of the specifics right now.

Even though the comics touch on this subject, comics are comics and reality is reality. He has no intention of allowing Mr. Negative to infuse him with negative energy.

Compared to having Mr. Negative infuse him with negative energy, he has a better method.

Let the symbiote possess Mr. Negative, copy his superpowers, and let himself directly possess negative energy.

Although he isn't sure if this method will cause Venom to evolve into a serum, there's no harm in trying.

Even if Venom doesn't evolve into a serum through this method, acquiring an additional superpower isn't a bad thing.

After feeling the negative energy on his left hand, he waves his hand to disperse the tendrils entwined around it.

Then, he turns his gaze to the bound Murakami and Alexandra.

Venom Puppets!

Under the watchful gazes of Murakami and Alexandra, he initiates the transformation of Venom Puppets.

Murakami and Alexandra don't even have a chance to resist; they are immediately possessed by the symbiote, turning into Venom Puppets under his control.

While the symbiote's possession restores their broken limbs, they rise swiftly under Russell's control.

The next moment, they charge towards Madame Gao's trio and the Hand ninjas.

Once he joins the battle, the previously deadlocked fight quickly becomes one-sided.

Five or six minutes later, all the Hand ninjas in sight turn into ashes and vanish, leaving behind an array of cold weapons.

Madame Gao, Bakuto, and Sowande lie on the ground, devoid of the ability to resist.

"Bakuto is mine. You can divide the rest among yourselves!"

As soon as he finishes speaking, a black tendril emerges from Russell's body, converting the severely injured Bakuto into a Venom Puppet.

After the transformation, without any hesitation, he takes control of Murakami, Bakuto, and Alexandra and leaves the building.

Looking at his departing figure and the puppet-like Murakami trio beside him, neither Bullseye nor Mr. Negative says a word. Each of them takes one, evenly dividing Madame Gao and Sowande.

The mission Kingpin gave them was to deal with Madame Gao's group and bring back the Dragon Bone they possess.

As for how to obtain the Dragon Bone from Madame Gao's group, that depends on their own abilities.

Half an hour later.

Queens.

Russell takes Murakami's trio to one of his safehouses.

He will complete Kingpin's mission.

After all, this mission comes with a bounty of up to a hundred million dollars.

He isn't short of money now, and he's even quite wealthy.

However, when it comes to money, nobody thinks they have too much.

After bringing Murakami's trio to the safehouse, Russell releases the symbiote's possession from the Murakami trio's bodies, returning control of their bodies to them.

Although the possession is released, he doesn't return their freedom to move.

Currently, they are still bound by the black tendrils.

Glancing at the three of them, Russell decides to start with Murakami.

"We have limited time, so I hope you can cooperate as much as possible."

"You've just experienced the rapid recovery of your injuries. Therefore, you should know that if I don't agree, even if you want to die, you won't be able to."

As Russell speaks to the Murakami trio sitting before him, he walks to a corner of the room and takes out a black suitcase.

Placing the suitcase on the table in front of the Murakami trio, he opens the seemingly normal suitcase.

When the suitcase opens, revealing the contents inside, the Murakami trio's eyes widen involuntarily.

Inside the suitcase are various small surgical instruments needed for surgery.

Surgical knives of various sizes, dermato blades, lancets, chisels, elevators, scalpels, and various surgical scissors are neatly arranged in different categories.

Apart from these surgical knives, there are various types of surgical scissors and forceps, such as bullet forceps, artery forceps, hemostatic forceps, tissue forceps, and needle holders.

Of course, there are many types of forceps and hooks used in surgery, like microvascular forceps, atraumatic forceps, arterial aneurysm needles, probes, vein hooks, wound hooks, and so on.

"No need to worry too much. These are just some little toys."

"Chainsaws, axes, hammers, and so on are all in the room next door. I hope we won't need them tonight."

Russell looks at the Murakami trio with a friendly smile, saying.

"Now, I ask, and you answer. The first question, where is K'un-Lun?"
