Watching Battle

"Swish!"

A flash of biting cold came first, followed by a dagger thrusting like a beam of light.

Silver Sable forcefully hurled the tactical dagger at Su Quan, her entire body tensing up as her legs exerted force.

Explosive power and agility were displayed to the absolute limit in this very moment.

A streak of white shadow was swift as lightning.

She actually reached Su Quan's face almost simultaneously with the tactical dagger.

The tactical dagger went straight for his face.

Silver Sable's long legs lifted high, delivering a powerful, heavy horizontal sweep directly at Su Quan's neck.

She admitted that the other party's methods were bizarre, and she still hadn't figured out what he had actually done or how he had done it.

Yet she wanted to kneel and surrender?

In your dreams!

With a fierce look and a resolute expression, Silver Sable--

Her eyes widened!

Her hard combat boots froze in mid-air, and her tightly tensed, straight long legs looked like a javelin seized by an invisible giant hand, motionless.

In the corner of her vision, the tactical dagger was frozen in the exact same way, the entire scene looking as if the pause button had been pressed!

Unable to break free, Silver Sable looked at Su Quan's smug, faint smile, reached toward her waist, and pulled out a grenade.

With absolute resolve, she directly triggered it and threw it at Su Quan.

Death before dishonor.

If I die, I'm taking you down with me!

She had to admit, Silver Sable was able to carve out the name Silver Sable and make those tough guys in the Wild Pack obediently listen to her precisely because she truly had a ruthless streak.

Unfortunately--she was facing Su Quan.

Watching the grenade come closer and closer, he didn't use his bizarre methods to control the pistol, the dagger, or herself; instead, he caught the grenade with both hands.

W-What was he trying to do?

Su Quan caught the grenade, his lips curving up as he glanced at Silver Sable, then he clapped his hands together, trapping it inside.

"Boom!"

The grenade exploded violently within his palms, the powerful shockwave and flames leaking out from between his hands and fingers.

Then.

It was impossibly sucked back in by a mysterious force!

Su Quan spread his palms, the fragments of the grenade clattering to the ground in a scatter.

And he was completely unharmed!

Those hands still looked fair, slender, and pretty!

Silver Sable felt her brain couldn't quite process it anymore; this was far too bizarre and completely defied common sense.

Even though all his previous methods had also been bizarre and defiant of common sense.

But--

Catching a grenade with his bare hands and remaining completely unharmed after the explosion was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it?

She knew very well how destructive a grenade's explosion was, and precisely because she knew, she was this shocked!

This was definitely not something a human being could accomplish!

The moment she threw the grenade, Silver Sable had already prepared to perish together with Su Quan.

Yet now, she was at a loss; boasting countless tricks, she suddenly had no idea what to do.

"So this is despair."

Having lost her mother early and her father later, Silver Sable had experienced countless battles and crises, big and small.

Ever since she joined the Wild Pack at seventeen, this was the first time she felt despair!

"Thud!"

An invisible force enveloped her, and Silver Sable's knees hit the ground involuntarily as she dropped to her knees.

If he told you to kneel and listen, he made you kneel and listen.

A true fulfillment of his words!

"An apology seems meaningless now, and you probably don't want to hear it anyway, so let's talk about something you do want to hear. I have a mission—do you accept it or not?"

With bloodshot eyes, Silver Sable glared furiously at Su Quan. "If you're going to kill me, kill me! Why mock me? If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have joined the Wild Pack!"

"You're so flat-chested you don't even have a landing strip, what would I mock you for?"

Su Quan looked Silver Sable up and down. Yes, only up, not down, because the lower half was kneeling, leaving nothing to look at.

"Before dawn, I want everyone in the upper and lower districts of Madripoor to know one thing!"

"The Hand's forces have been wiped out by the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, and the territory, industries, and especially the docks they controlled now belong to the Thirteen Court Guard Squads."

"Anyone who wants to do business through the docks should come to the Void Bar for a detailed discussion before noon. No latecomers accepted, and bear the consequences yourselves!"

"This is the mission I'm giving you. The commission is one hundred thousand US dollars. Do you accept it or not?"

Silver Sable's expression stagnated. She believed the fellow in front of her had the strength to wipe out the Hand's forces here.

Yet she didn't understand what this guy was trying to do!

Scaring her, mocking her, and humiliating her, only to hire them to help spread and pass along a message?

And he was actually paying!

Although one hundred thousand dollars couldn't compare to fifty million dollars, the mission carried zero risk and was practically free money. If you had just said so directly, she certainly wouldn't have refused.

"Wh-What on earth do you mean?" Silver Sable looked hesitatingly at Su Quan.

Su Quan shrugged, the corners of his mouth turning up in a brilliant smile. "It doesn't mean anything, just building a good connection!"

Silver Sable: "..."

Is that how you build a good connection?

Are you sure the connection you're building is a good one?! ...

PS: Recommend my other works: "Marvel: King's Arrival", "The Vampire: Strongest Reaper", "Marvel: Door-Door Fruit", "American Comics: Strongest Villain", "KO Ranking: Strongest God of War", "I Have a Dimensional Street in Marvel", "In American Dramas: Get Stronger by Spending Money!"

You seek me out to build a good connection with alternative motives, and I seek you out to build a good connection with another purpose in mind.

You bring the Wild Pack, I display formidable strength—fundamentally, the method you and I use to build this connection shares the exact same core!

The only difference is that your connection aims for money, while my connection--aims for people!

The Silver Sable in the comics is a righteous mercenary who frequently fights against dark and evil forces.

Her primary motivations for becoming a mercenary are twofold.

First, the Wild Pack was established by her father.

Second, to earn money for her own country; the Wild Pack once served as Sokovia's most significant external source of revenue.

As one of the female characters in the Spider-Man series, she almost debuted as a team alongside Black Cat, who matched her beauty and skill.

(Sony's Silver Sable and Black Cat movie was canceled, which is a pity.)

Aside from the main topic.

That clear-eyed chatterbox Spider-Man, seemingly single-minded in romance, actually has no shortage of female confidantes at all.

Some of the more famous ones include: Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Black Cat, Silver Sable, Silk, Shadowcat, and Rogue.

His first girlfriend was Betty Brant (who later ended up with that fat guy Ned in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

He once had a crush on Liz Allan, the girlfriend of Flash Thompson.

Kelly Cooper (a forensic examiner for the NYPD).

Michelle Gonzalez (his roommate's sister, with whom he had a one-time encounter while drunk).

Michelle Jones (his girlfriend in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Tang Ling (a Huaxia person, Parker's newest girlfriend, who works at Parker Industries' Shanghai Branch).

The most exaggerated part is that there are also Captain Marvel, White Queen, Black Widow, and Scarlet Girlfriend--

Although some of these occurrences happened in parallel universes, it still counts as a rich romantic history filled with girlfriends!

To return to the main point, let's get back to the present.

Silver Sable and the Wild Pack's strength, reputation, operational style, and background all fit Su Quan's requirements.

However, absorbing and incorporating them probably won't be that easy—we'll just have to take it slow for now!
