Matt Murdock had not been in the best of moods lately.
He had thought putting Kingpin, the emperor of New York's underworld, behind bars would improve the terrible situation in Hell's Kitchen. Instead, not only had Hell's Kitchen failed to improve, but the rest of New York had begun descending into chaos as well.
If the assassin Kraft had not suddenly appeared and slaughtered enough of those lawless gangsters to terrify the rest, New York would have been in even greater turmoil.
