As he sat in the car, Li Congxin couldn't help but ask Hawkeye curiously, "Brother Hawkeye, how exactly did Uncle Pym convince you to help me?"
"Even though I've always hidden myself well, I'm still a superhero, okay?" Hawkeye said with a hint of excitement. "Fighting criminals and protecting this city is the mission I set for myself. What you're doing aligns perfectly with my goals. Do I need any other reason to cooperate?"
What a powerful reason!
Does the idea that "with great power comes great responsibility" really hold so much sway in America?
Logically, shouldn't it be "with great power comes great income"?
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Hawkeye parked the car by the roadside, one street away from the target warehouse.
After getting out of the car, the three of them crept silently to a small door on the side of the warehouse. They could faintly hear sounds coming from inside.
Just as Li Congxin was considering whether to "infiltrate" now, Yi Long suddenly made a shushing gesture to the other two, then pointed to a shipping container beside them.
Someone was behind it!
Seeing Yi Long's hint, Li Congxin immediately dashed forward.
He didn't believe he'd encounter an enemy of comparable strength here. Even if those ordinary gangsters had a nuclear launch code, he could prevent them from pressing the button at such close range!
As if sensing Li Congxin's movement, the person hiding behind the shipping container flashed out and simultaneously pointed a dark gun barrel at Li Congxin's forehead.
"Bang!" Just as the other person drew their gun, Li Congxin grabbed their gun-wielding hand. At the same time, his index finger inserted into the gap behind the trigger, preventing them from pulling it.
Immediately after, Li Congxin saw a flash of cold light before him. The opponent's left hand, with a blade, had already stabbed towards his temple at an extremely tricky angle.
Grabbing the opponent's left hand, Li Congxin finally got a clear look at their face.
Purple hair, a little girl, a slightly familiar face...
"Are you Mindy?"
Upon hearing Li Congxin's voice, the other person was taken aback. "Brother Clark."
Releasing Mindy, Li Congxin took a step back and asked with a frown, "Why are you here?"
Seeing Li Congxin, Mindy's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Her normally strong eyes began to redden slightly. "Brother Clark, bad guys took my dad!"
Li Congxin was stunned and then comforted her, "Don't worry, just tell me what happened slowly."
It turned out that after Damon, Mindy's father, was released from prison, he was determined to get revenge on the great enemy Frank D'Amico, who had not only sent him to prison but also indirectly caused his wife's death. He also trained the young Mindy to be an anti-hero expert.
However, to deal with the powerful Frank D'Amico, their strength was still a bit lacking. So, they set their sights on the hot-blooded, chuunibyou teenager Kick-Ass, intending to recruit him.
Unexpectedly, that kid Kick-Ass had an intelligence problem and brought a mole to their secret base, thus the tragedy occurred.
Fortunately, Frank D'Amico didn't kill Damon on the spot. Instead, he captured both him and Kick-Ass. Mindy, who had narrowly escaped, tracked them and happened to arrive at the warehouse.
After listening to Mindy's account, Li Congxin suddenly realized that Old Pi's seemingly unnecessary arrangement was quite prescient.
So quickly, infiltration had turned into a frontal assault.
Without further ado, Li Congxin waved his hand and said, "Charge in and kick their asses!"
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Dave Lizewski, dressed in the Kick-Ass costume, and Damon Macready, the father of Hit-Girl, dressed in a Batman suit, were tightly bound to two iron chairs by the thugs. A camera was set up in front of them, and someone was pouring gasoline on them.
To intimidate other superheroes, Frank D'Amico, in his chuunibyou phase, actually had someone hack into the New York television network to livestream the roasting of Kick-Ass!
This showed that Frank D'Amico's so-called vast influence was limited to the civilian sector. They were completely unaware of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence!
However, regardless of what retribution Frank D'Amico would face in the future, Kick-Ass and Damon Macready had fallen into deep despair.
Unlike Kick-Ass, who was in a panic, Damon Macready had long been prepared to die. He was just unwilling to die like this.
If he couldn't personally kill Frank D'Amico, he wouldn't die in peace!
As long as he could complete his revenge on Frank D'Amico, he would even make a deal with the devil!
As if hearing his inner plea, a kind old man leaning on a walking stick appeared out of thin air before him without any warning. The people around them, whether the thugs preparing the barbecue feast or the screaming Kick-Ass, seemed not to notice his presence.
After appearing, the old man showed Damon Macready a warm smile, but his shadow under the light was that of a withered devil.
Sensing Damon's unwillingness and resentment, the old man softly asked, "Do you crave power?"
At the same time, Li Congxin and his group of four had already infiltrated the warehouse. Seeing these thugs actually wanting to burn his good buddy to death... Li Congxin felt a surge of righteous anger.
Are you guys this arrogant? Does S.H.I.E.L.D. know about this?
Casually taking out the Ruyi Bang from his wristband, he swung it, and it expanded to the thickness of a goose egg. Li Congxin directly hit a thug whose back was facing him, right in the face.
Received +1 Impression Points from Foster Turner!
"Let's all attack together and beat them to death!"
With Li Congxin's command, the battle instantly erupted.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Da! Da! Da!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Frank D'Amico's subordinates were just ordinary people who knew how to use firearms. Their marksmanship and combat awareness were both terrible. In the movie's plot, they were apparently wiped out by Hit-Girl alone.
Now, with Li Congxin on one side, there was Hawkeye, whose archery was 100% accurate, and the Winter Soldier, who had undergone professional special forces training after being brainwashed by Hydra. Add Li Congxin himself and Hit-Girl, and it was like a team of six gods taking on three wolves, with no suspense whatsoever.
However, amidst this crushing victory, Li Congxin felt incredibly awkward.
Watching the three ADCs next to him continuously spraying bullets and racking up kills, Li Congxin, who only had close-combat abilities, could only watch them show off, unable to get involved at all.
Speaking of which, should I learn marksmanship too?
As he pondered, Li Congxin suddenly and joyfully discovered that for every person his teammates shot and killed, he gained a whopping 10 Impression Points.
Speaking of which, breaking through the limit of their fate's weight and achieving slow Impression Point contributions seemed to only be possible by killing people.
But the question was, why were the Impression Points from the people they killed going to him?
Could it be that in the minds of those people, I was part of their group?
Thinking of this possibility, a bold idea suddenly popped into Li Congxin's mind.
