This is different from Pier 26 on the west side of Manhattan. It has the Hudson River Park Trust Fund, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, and Citibank, which donated funds because its offices can see Pier 26.
There, they jointly built a restaurant and a cruise ship company, which can be regarded as one of the most bustling large piers in Manhattan.
Pier 36 is shabby in comparison.
This place was built by the Maggia Gang and their subordinate organizations, large and small gangs "collecting members", and it took more than two years to build it. The most common ones here are those transactions that cannot be made public.
The Maggia Gang has made a lot of profits by pumping out running water, and it has always been one of the important financial pillars.
However, during this period, no one knew what happened to the Maggia Gang. They inexplicably blocked the entire dock and stopped all external cargo transportation activities, only for their own use.
Looking around at the dock at this moment, there are huge containers piled everywhere, densely packed, exuding a faint smell of... blood, mixed with a rotten stench that cannot be ignored.
This smell is naturally not too unfamiliar to a killer.
This is caused by decay and fermentation caused by the corpse being left for too long.
I'm afraid those containers won't contain anything good.
In the darkness at the corner of the container, stood a very young lady, her dark blue eyes quietly staring at the dock in front of her, and her red tight-fitting uniform outlined her exquisite figure.
She, Erica Nakis, is a qualified mercenary killer.
Her own fighting ability has reached the peak level of human beings. She is proficient in various schools of martial arts and equipment. Even after long-term training, she also possesses a small number of superpowers, such as hypnosis, tracking, telepathy and high physical strength.
resistance.
It can be said that she is a real genius when it comes to fighting!
"It seems the boss is right. The Maggia Gang does a lot of things in private."
Erica played with the three-pronged dagger in her hand, which was her favorite weapon.
As a small dual-wielding combat weapon, this dagger may be a bit unqualified because it is a bit heavier compared to other lightweight weapons, but for Erica, with the blessing of weight, her offense and defense will be improved.
More perfect.
Especially when the space is narrow and the combat distance is extremely short, it can unleash unimaginable powerful capabilities.
but……
A flash of coolness suddenly burst out in Erica's eyes.
Her current situation can be described as terrible, and she is being hunted by a group of troubles that she cannot get rid of.
Those bugs from the Hand are always there.
But now she works for Kingpin, who is a "good boss".
Kingpin, the emperor of the dark world of New York.
Those guys were breaking the rules if they wanted to get around Kingpin and touch her.
"They're all a bunch of idiots!"
Erica muttered and cursed.
She didn't know whether her words were directed at the group of ninjas who were chasing her, or at Hammerhead who sent a younger brother to report the news and ended up angering Jin Bin, or perhaps both.
Kingpin asked her to come to the Maggia Gang to "question" Hammerhead, saying that Maggia has been making frequent moves recently and has crossed the line.
but……
What's there to ask about this kind of thing?
Erica had already made up her mind.
You can just kill and go in later. Start from the gate and go directly to Hammerhead's office. You can teach him a lesson and take away the Golden Rooster King's treasure at the same time.
Killing two birds with one stone is perfect.
Erica thought happily.
At this moment, she suddenly caught sight of a red figure not far away, swinging between high-rise buildings, quickly heading towards the dock.
This figure looks really familiar.
It reminded her of her college life, when she was still very young.
All right.
Of course there is no so-called college life for a killer like her, but she and Daredevil are old friends.
Those were years of entanglement and confusion. Unexpectedly, she met him right after she returned to New York. Thinking about it, it was quite fate.
But why did this guy come to the dock managed by the Maggia Gang?
It seems...
His nosy character has not changed.
Erica raised her brows and disappeared.
…
At this moment, Daredevil was heading towards Pier 36, but Matt Murdock felt like he was in a mess.
Hell's Kitchen is already chaotic enough, but with the addition of some inexplicable people and organizations, it's really a headache.
He had never heard of these guys before, and now they all appeared out of nowhere, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Moreover, in the dining room before, he heard that these organizations seemed to be aware of each other's existence. They seemed not to deal with each other, but they were able to integrate together, thus achieving a strange balance.
But it was precisely because of the balance that it made Matt even more worried.
He worries that if the balance is broken one day, hell's kitchen will be greeted by an unprecedented violent conflict.
Just like that worker who claims to be from the underworld, he pulls out a gun to capture people's souls whenever they disagree with him.
In Matt's opinion, this kind of behavior is simply the greatest insult to the soul and is inexcusable.
But from the behavior of other people in the store, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to the underworld's way of doing things and did not show any surprise.
It seems to be a common convention that the soul must be controlled by the underworld.
This may mean that this is not the first time that the underworld has done this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Matt's heart sank slightly.
If Kikyo hadn't dragged him away at that time, he would have definitely had an affair with that guy named Zhao Li.
Then again, Kikyo is not with him at the moment, she is busy looking for Jessica.
According to Kikyo, Jessica was controlled by her Death Soul Insect before and started going crazy after breaking Lin Jiu's wine jar because she had suffered some kind of psychological trauma.
Platycodon has the ability to purify the soul and comfort people on the verge of collapse. Jessica's incident happened because of her, so platycodon cannot ignore it.
In Matt's view, this is actually a special psychological treatment method that can achieve the purpose of healing Jessica's mind.
But this time Matt didn't go with him, he just gave Kikyo the business card of Jessica's pseudonymous detective agency.
He planned to take advantage of the night to quickly find out everything hidden under Pier 36.
He originally planned to wait a few more days for the Maggia Gang to ship the next batch of goods, and wait until then to conduct an investigation. By then, maybe someone could come and seize the stolen goods, and directly put the Maggia Gang under control.
By law.
But now he can't wait any longer.
Based on the clues he currently has, plus the conversations he heard from those people in the dining room before, he is 70% sure that the recent chaos in Hell's Kitchen is related to the Maggia Gang.
The real answer must lie in Pier 36, which was suddenly blocked by the Maggia Gang.
Matt was thinking in his mind as he quickly used his hook and claw to move on.
Suddenly, his radar senses went off.
He noticed a figure approaching quickly, and he could vaguely distinguish the figure of a woman.
At the same time, as the opponent quickly approached, Matt felt the air flow speed around him change.
"Qiang"
Matt only had time to raise the short stick in his hand to block.
Following the crisp sound, Matt frowned slightly, with a trace of surprise on his face.
This touch feels so familiar.
The opponent's weapon seems to be a three-pronged dagger.
He couldn't help but think back to his "unbearable" and even "nightmare" relationship when he was at Columbia University.
This made Matt feel dazed for a moment.
Especially the opponent's subsequent reaction. Not only did he not retreat with the help of the rebound, but he jumped into the air, held a three-pronged dagger in both hands, and dived down again, which allowed him to confirm the true identity of the person in front of him.
"Erica, when did you come back?"
Matt asked blurtly.
Erica had left New York before and went abroad.
He never received any news about Erica's return.
"It's not interesting that you recognized me so quickly."
Erica jumped sideways and turned over in mid-air, landing next to Matt, curling her lips, as if she was dissatisfied with being easily seen through.
"A few days after I came back, I got entangled by a group of scoundrels outside, so I came back to avoid the limelight."
Matt frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as Erica said.
"Are you still a killer now?"
"Otherwise, what can I do?"
Erica turned the three-pronged dagger in her hand and said nonchalantly.
"On the other hand, you still have no taste in this red dress!"
"What are you doing here?"
Matt looked nervous, it was too late to reminisce about the past, he just wanted to know the purpose of Erica coming here.
"My new boss said that Hammerhead has gone too far and asked me to say hello."
"Your boss..."
Matt was slightly startled when he heard this, and then quickly realized that there is only one answer for those who can become Erica's boss and dare to greet Hammerhead.
"You're doing things for Kingpin!" Matt had a violent mood swing.
"You are still so smart and you guessed it right again!"
Erica clapped her hands and looked very happy, but Matt's heart sank to the bottom.
On the one hand, it's because Erica once again plunged into the darkness, and on the other hand...
Since Hammerhead has aroused Kingpin's alert, it can be seen that the Maggia Gang has big plans and they are definitely going to cause a big mess!
