When Minato Namikaze, played by Wu Chen, brought Natasha and Coulson to the Flying Thunder God Mark in Hell's Kitchen using the Flying Thunder God Technique, there was no one around.
Coulson and Natasha had both prepared for a fight, but now they had no choice but to stand down.
They had expected they might run into a fight after teleporting here, since Hell's Kitchen was a gathering place for gangs.
Instead, nothing happened.
Coulson and Natasha found it strange, but to Wu Chen, this was perfectly normal.
The thugs had all gone looking for the location of the Nine-Tails' seal, so naturally they wouldn't stay in Hell's Kitchen.
Hell's Kitchen, where the thugs were based, had naturally been their first stop in the search for the Nine-Tails' seal.
They had used detection crystals to check every inch of Hell's Kitchen, and after confirming the seal wasn't there, they had gone elsewhere.
So Hell's Kitchen, normally crawling with scum, was enjoying a rare moment of peace.
With Hell's Kitchen quiet, the investigation was easier, too.
As Wu Chen watched, Natasha and Coulson displayed their professional competence as agents. They selected several shops suspected of being gang hangouts, opened the doors without forcing the locks, and searched for evidence.
However, although the searches went smoothly, the investigation made almost no progress.
The two of them found nothing.
After the same thing happened at three or four places in a row, Coulson and Natasha frowned.
Seeing this, Wu Chen couldn't help reminding them, "If I were the force operating in secret, I'd definitely go to the biggest local power in New York, not these two-bit gangs. So, agents, what's the biggest gang in New York?"
"Either of you know?"
At Wu Chen's prompt, Natasha and Coulson finally realized it. "Kingpin's gang!"
"Then let's go check out Kingpin's gang!" Wu Chen decided.
Naturally, he hadn't reminded them at the start because he wanted to buy Obito time.
But he couldn't stall for too long, either. If he didn't do anything, his acting progress might not increase after this mission ended.
That would be a loss.
So the three of them went straight to the entrance of Kingpin's Fisk Tower.
Looking at the people bustling about inside, Coulson and Natasha exchanged glances.
While they were thinking about how to investigate, Wu Chen said, "Let's fight our way in! They're all gangsters who do evil things. There's no need to show them mercy, right?"
Coulson was about to object when Nick Fury's voice came through his earpiece. "Agree to it, Coulson! It's just a gang."
Kingpin did indeed have connections everywhere, but he also had gangs under his command.
And before the true upper echelon, what did Kingpin amount to?
So Natasha and Coulson went all out. Without using firearms, they knocked down everyone who stood in their way, clearing a path for Wu Chen.
Wu Chen stayed steadily between them, occasionally deflecting bullets fired at them from all directions.
Seeing more and more people gathering around them, Natasha gritted her teeth and shouted to Coulson and Wu Chen, "Get behind me, both of you. I'll clear them out!"
With that, Natasha stepped forward, pulled a grenade-like object from the waist of her skintight suit, yanked the pin, and threw it straight in.
Boom~!!
The grenade burst open, but there was no explosion. It was a stun grenade.
Natasha seemed to be wearing some kind of protective device and was unaffected, while Coulson and Wu Chen were behind her and less affected.
However, looking at Natasha's slender figure, Wu Chen couldn't help turning his head away.
After all, he was a young man in his twenties, and he still had rather abundant energy.
"All right, they're clear!"
Together with Coulson, Natasha gave each person a chop to the neck, knocking them completely unconscious, and spoke with ease.
But before Coulson or Wu Chen could say anything, an elevator not far away slowly opened.
A figure two meters tall, like a mountain of flesh, appeared.
"Kingpin!" The two agents recognized him at once, and their expressions changed. They clearly knew that Kingpin, as the king of the underworld, possessed not only power, but also personal strength that was not to be underestimated.
"You three... agents?" Kingpin's gaze swept over Coulson and Natasha, and he deduced their identities. But when he saw Minato Namikaze, played by Wu Chen, he couldn't help twitching his brows.
Wasn't this the person his lord had said was just as strong as him?!
He had been planning to kill the intruders outright, but now Kingpin didn't dare move.
Seeing this, Wu Chen raised a hand and waved it. "This is a fight between ordinary people like you. I won't interfere. You three do as you please; I'll go look elsewhere..."
Before Wu Chen could finish, he saw a vortex appear behind Kingpin, and then the Masked Man slowly stood up behind him.
Sensing the Masked Man's arrival, Kingpin looked as if he had seen his savior. Relieved, he hurriedly bowed to him. "My lord!"
The Masked Man waved him off, his gaze fixed solely on Minato Namikaze, played by Wu Chen. "You Konoha people really are a bunch of mangy dogs and tagalongs!"
