After successfully recruiting Karui, a Kumogakure Chunin Kumogakure, Charlotte Doyle, after exiting the System Space and confirming that Shizune was not conducting experiments or going on missions at the time, directly upgraded her Star Upgrade to enhance her strength.
After completing these two tasks, Charlotte glanced at his remaining Gold Coin, which were just over 50,000, and entered the Training Ground provided by the system to master the newly acquired Ninjutsu. He intended to integrate these Ninjutsu into his battles.
······
Night fell.
As night falls, crime and evil occur in the city's dark corners.
At this moment, Eddie Brock, transformed into Venom, crouched atop the spire of a building, looking down at the brightly lit city below.
"It's so beautiful, I'm liking Earth more and more."
Eddie responded, "New York looks completely different from this angle."
After Eddie and Venom admired the view from above for a few minutes, Venom said, "Let's go, let's clean up this city of all that harmful garbage, and fill my empty stomach."
Eddie immediately shook his head and said, "I have no problem cleaning them up, but could you please stop eating their heads? I find it really disgusting."
How about the chocolate?
"My income has been good lately, maybe you could try other brands."
"What about Lindt?"
Venom, however, refused, saying, "Dude, they're bad guys."
"You promised you could eat the heads of bad guys."
"No, those have to be supervillains. Some are just minor crimes that wouldn't warrant their lives."
"How about a case of Lindt? It's one of the world's top ten chocolate brands."
Venom replied, "Five boxes!"
"Hey buddy, this stuff isn't cheap, how about two cases?"
Venom considered Eddie's income for a moment, then said, "Four boxes, no less."
"Three boxes, three boxes at most, otherwise I'll go home and rest."
"I don't really feel like going out to exercise today."
"And don't you think eating heads is a very villainous act?"
"What if the Avengers or other superheroes come and try to capture you? The waters of Earth are not to be underestimated."
Hearing this, Venom thought of the superheroes and the numerous ninjas who had appeared; this place was indeed not safe.
"Okay, we'll do it your way, three boxes."
"Let's go then!"
Venom, having subdued Eddie, leaped directly from the top of the building's spire.
"Ooh~ Ah~!"
Accompanied by Eddie's screams, Venom, like a wild husky, began to engage in all sorts of provocative behaviors as it jumped off the building.
"Boom!"
After landing, Venom returned control to Eddie Brock and shrank back into his body.
Eddie rubbed his cheek and said, "That was exciting!"
In a Warehouse in the suburbs of Brooklyn, dozens of Mexico blacks who had illegally crossed the US-Mexico border to work in New York were being held.
At this moment, a man dressed in a suit, looking like a Wall Street elite, was communicating with the other party on his mobile phone. "Mr. Z, I have thirty shipments here, all aged between 14 and 21, and all parts are complete."
"You can take it and match it. If successful, you can sell it as a whole vehicle or as individual parts."
"I believe that older luxury cars need a lot of new parts to extend their lifespan."
"The price is the same as before."
"Cheap? It's really not that cheap. You know how risky this kind of business is these days."
"Southeast Asia's internet has long been destroyed by superheroes. It wasn't easy for me to find someone for you."
"The whole vehicle costs 100. I don't sell parts separately. As for how much profit you make on the last whole vehicle, that's your own business."
"However, I can give you a new idea. After you get the vehicle, you can use the vehicle information to apply for loans on various platforms. That could be a considerable profit."
"Secondly, we contact owners of luxury cars with damaged parts and perform full parts matching, which is the biggest expense."
"After the match is made, you can extract things like gasoline and engine oil from the car and exchange them for money. It's not much, but it's still quite a bit."
"If a match isn't found yet, we can invite some older, wealthy women to come and test drive it. As for how long the test drive will last, it will continue until the parts are successfully matched."
"After all this, I'm sure your investment has multiplied several times over."
"Okay, okay, it's settled then."
At this moment, a gangster holding an AK-47, who was guarding the Warehouse, looked at his partner who was also on guard duty beside him and shouted:
"Buddy, the High Table has ordered a ban on human trafficking, especially organ trafficking."
"Boss, is it really okay for you to do this?"
"Doesn't the leader care?"
The person being questioned was chewing bubble gum. They swallowed the gum in one gulp and then spoke:
"The High Table issued an order against human trafficking, but are they even human?"
"No, they're not human, they're Black Dog."
Seeing his companion's surprised look, the man pointed at the Queen of Asgard and said, "The higher-ups don't like this skin color. I've heard that many high-ranking members of gangs with this skin color have been taken down over the years."
"New York used to have Mexico gangs and African American gangs."
Can you still see them now?
Upon hearing his companion's words, the man shook his head vigorously.
"Don't worry, the boss has already taken care of the people above him. Nobody will interfere with this."
"The fewer the better, the happier they are."
"Maybe the boss can even get promoted because of this."
Hearing this, a greedy look appeared on the guard's face. "I know where there are many of these creatures. Can I catch some and exchange them for money?"
"Buddy, it's not that simple. If we don't care about this path, what about the other one?"
"You keep arresting people randomly. Be careful, those superheroes might use you as practice material. Didn't you see that the boss is only picking illegal immigrants?"
"Just focus on your job. If there's ever a need for your help, you'll be well rewarded."
While the guards in the Warehouse were chatting idly, the glass on both sides of the Warehouse suddenly shattered at the same time.
Eddie, transformed into Venom, smashed through the window and entered.
He threw a punch at one of the gang members, sending him flying five meters away.
Meanwhile, an arrow pierced through a window and shot in, killing the armed guard who had been asking questions.
"Enemy attack!"
The other gang members inside the Warehouse immediately raised their rifles and sprayed Venom.
"Da-da-da!"
The boss, who had just been on the phone, immediately threw a Smoke Bomb and opened a secret door to enter the underground area the moment he saw the Venom appear, then ran outside.
Facing the incoming bullets, Eddie didn't dodge at all, and launched a direct attack.
Meanwhile, Hawkeye, standing outside the Warehouse window, was occasionally firing a stray arrow at the gangsters below.
Ah~!
The screams of gangsters echoed continuously throughout the Warehouse.
Seeing that they couldn't harm the monster at all, one of the gang members, taking advantage of the Smoke Bomb's effect, immediately went to the cage where the black man was being held, holding a grenade used to remove the sentry post, and shouted:
"Stop! Stop right there!"
"Otherwise, I'll blow these people up."
At his shout, Eddie inside the Warehouse and Barton at the window both stopped their attacks.
Meanwhile, the smoke from the Smoke Bomb slowly dissipated, revealing that he was the only one left in the Warehouse; all the other gang members had been killed.
Eddie walked towards the other person and quickly said, "Calm down, calm down."
"Put the pin back in right now, or you won't survive the grenade explosion."
"Stop, stand there and don't move."
"If you come any closer, I'll throw a grenade into the cage. If I don't survive, neither will they."
"And you, the guy outside the window, you're aiming your bow at me. Be careful, or I might let go if I get nervous."
Eddie glanced at Barton through the window. He had noticed him when the attack occurred, but hadn't paid much attention after realizing the attackers were gangsters.
Then, upon closer inspection, he realized that the person was Hawkeye, a member of the Avengers and a superhero.
However, Barton did not put down his Bow and Arrow, but instead said, "Pin-type grenades will explode three to six seconds after being released."
Barton wasn't saying this to the thugs, but to Eddie was standing nearby.
The instant he spoke, Barton released the bowstring, and an arrow with an electric arrowhead was shot out in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow struck the opponent, and the released electric current instantly paralyzed him to the ground. Due to the paralysis caused by the electric shock, his clenched hand was unable to loosen, let alone throw the grenade.
As the opponent fell to the ground, Eddie didn't dare to delay and instantly appeared in front of him. Seeing that the opponent's hand was still tightly gripping the grenade, he instantly conjured a knife and severed the opponent's hand at the wrist. Then, he grabbed the opponent's hand that was holding the grenade, rushed out of the Warehouse, and threw it into the sky.
"Boom!"
The grenade exploded high in the air, without harming anyone.
Eddie returned to the Warehouse, still in his Venom form, without reverting to his Venom form.
"Hawkeye, do you realize how dangerous this is? If he lets go prematurely, these people will all be in mortal danger."
Seeing Eddie's somewhat agitated state, Barton said, "Buddy, don't worry, you're here, aren't you?"
"It is precisely because I believe in your abilities that I dare to take this gamble."
"The result was perfect; we cooperated very well."
As Barton explained, he began to retrieve his arrows.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Eddie, as a reporter, was somewhat dissatisfied with such a perfunctory answer.
"What will happen if I'm not here?"
"And I remember you're an S.H.I.E.L.D.. agent, so how come you're involved in gang-related matters too?"
Barton had retrieved all the arrows except for the last one he had fired.
"Then I will prioritize the safety of the hostages."
Then Barton looked at Eddie and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D.. doesn't deal with gangsters; that's something other departments should worry about."
"Besides being Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I'm also a member of the Avengers, and more importantly, a superhero."
"As a superhero, I need to handle this."
Upon hearing what the other person said, Eddie nodded in agreement; he was quite satisfied with what they said.
He then looked at the thirty young Black men locked in the cage and asked, "What should we do with these people?"
Barton took out his phone. "Call the police. I'm sure they'll handle this."
When Eddie heard the other party say to call the police, he was taken aback; he had assumed S.H.I.E.L.D.. would take over the case.
Barton quickly called the Brooklyn Police Department, explained what had happened, identified himself as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.., and asked them to come and handle the aftermath as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Barton saw that Eddie was about to leave, so he grabbed his last stun arrow and said, "There's still one survivor. Are you interested in the forces behind them?"
"I just noticed that their leader seems to have run away."
As they spoke, Barton arrived at the secret door and opened the underground passage leading outside.
As the electric shock ended, the gang member regained consciousness, clutching his right arm where his hand had been severed and screaming in pain:
"My hand, my hand!"
Eddie had already turned around to leave, but turned back when he heard Barton's words.
"Such an evil organization should be eliminated."
"However, we should find another place to communicate, but only if you can keep up with my pace."
Eddie stretched out his arm, which instantly grew to three meters long. He grabbed the groaning gangster lying on the ground and ran quickly outside.
Seeing Eddie start running away, Barton glanced at a black man in the cage, gave him a look, and then began to leave.
However, one of the black people in the group was an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for S. H. I. E. L. D.
Barton secured the bow behind his back and quickly chased after Eddie in the direction he had gone.
Eddie led the gangster towards the East River.
They soon arrived at a deserted riverbank and placed the gang members on the riverbank.
The gangsters who had just been put down tried to run away, but Eddie trampled them underfoot.
"Don't try to run away; you can't leave here."
At this moment, Barton finally dared to approach. He was quite fast, but still a bit slower than Venom Eddie.
"Dude, you're really fast! I'm sprinting as fast as I can to catch you."
Eddie looked at Hawkeye and said, "I didn't expect you to be a Superhuman as well, able to keep up with my speed."
The two then interrogated the gangster, but to their surprise, the man brought back was exceptionally stubborn.
"Kill me then. I'm just a cripple now that I've lost my hand. You won't get any information out of me."
Eddie opened his terrifying maw, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and said, "Death is the only relief."
"I'm going to cut off your arm first, then slowly chew it up."
"It's like eating a chicken leg, crunch crunch."
"If you still don't talk, I'll eat your limbs. I believe that once you see yourself being eaten piece by piece, you'll tell me everything."
Upon hearing Eddie's words, the gangster's face showed a look of terror, while Barton, standing beside him, also looked at him with some surprise.
