He Had Already Arrived

Seeing how tactful Eliza was, Heisenberg nodded in approval, then waved for her to get up and wait at the side.

As Eliza got to her feet, Heisenberg walked over to the unconscious nurse and helped the poor woman stand.

He patted the nurse's cheek, and she slowly woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a close-up of Heisenberg's face, and she was thoroughly startled.

But after the panic passed, her face turned red.

Once the fear faded, some things became much clearer to her.

The fear she had just felt even gave the young nurse a different kind of thrill, and she even felt a little wet.

Unfortunately, Heisenberg let go of her soon afterward.

"I broke your window and scared you unconscious. I'll compensate you.

I'll also donate fifty thousand dollars to the hospital, because the staff standing in the hallway right now have been very attentive.

They neither ignored the sound of breaking glass nor disturbed me after correctly assessing the situation."

As he spoke, Heisenberg patted Bullseye, who was lying beside him on the hospital bed.

"Find your people and make sure what I said gets done, okay?"

"Of course!"

Bullseye immediately agreed.

Then Heisenberg glanced at the young nurse and asked with a smile.

"There's something I'd like to ask you about."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young nurse visibly tensed up.

Who knew whether that tension came from fear or some other impulse.

The young nurse stood ramrod straight and answered in the most solemn tone possible.

"Please ask whatever you wish. I'll answer every question I can."

Seeing how nervous she was, Heisenberg immediately burst out laughing.

He laughed for a while before finally speaking.

"All right, don't be afraid of me. I don't eat people.

I just wanted to ask about the two of their injuries."

"Whew..."

The young nurse let out a disappointed breath. For that brief moment, she had truly imagined some unspeakable things.

For example, she had imagined Heisenberg asking for her contact information, asking whether she was free tonight, asking whether she had a lover, asking whether she would mind starting a family with a gang member...

But all in all, despite her disappointment, the nurse did not lose the basic professionalism expected of a medical worker.

"Please rest assured. Mr. Bullseye's... left buttock is being treated similarly to a bedsore. I have cared for many injuries like that.

As for Mr. Matt Murdock, he has a rather complicated number of fractures. Emergency stabilization has already been performed, and all follow-up procedures to correct his bone structure will be completed within two days."

"Mm-hm. One of them is my best subordinate, while the other is... well, you could say he's my guest. I hope you'll take extra care of them.

May I ask what you've been hoping for in life lately? How about I make it happen? A refrigerator, a phone, or perhaps an opportunity for further training?"

"No, no, you're too kind. If it's really possible, could you give me an autograph?"

The young nurse was truly smart, and her answer pleased Heisenberg greatly.

So Heisenberg immediately gave her an autograph and left her with a blessing. He even instructed Bullseye to prepare a suitable gift for the young nurse after she left the ward.

And through these interactions with Heisenberg, Eliza gradually came to understand her new BOSS.

In Eliza's eyes, Heisenberg's overwhelmingly oppressive strength was no longer frightening, because he possessed a heart closer to society than Kingpin's.

After finishing up at the hospital, Heisenberg leisurely returned to the Nightclub.

Jessica was indeed still drinking, though she was no longer drinking so-called champagne. She was drinking whiskey neat.

That made sense. Champagne could never satisfy a real drunk.

When she saw Heisenberg return, Jessica swept her drunken eyes over him.

"You're done."

"I'm done."

Heisenberg sat down, rubbed Jessica's delicate cheeks, and added with a smile.

"Purple Man will be delivered into your hands within three days. I hope you're ready—ready for revenge."

Bang!!!

Jessica slammed both hands onto the table. The table, which had been replaced less than a week ago, was instantly smashed in half.

But Heisenberg would not get angry. He understood Jessica's excitement.

After smashing the table, Jessica shouted at Heisenberg with a tense expression.

"You're sure?"

"I'm sure."

"That Purple Man?!!"

"Yes."

"He's mine!!!"

"He's yours."

"Why? I mean, why are you doing this? Is my pussy lined with diamonds or something?"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Hearing that, Heisenberg laughed so hard he nearly lost his breath. He barely managed to stop before pinching Jessica's ear.

"Don't be ridiculous. Your value is far beyond anything Purple Man can compare to. I have a plan lately. Would you consider joining it?"

"You're going to kill Purple Man just to get me involved in some plan? He's no ordinary guy!"

"But to me, he really is ordinary!"

Seeing that Jessica seemed flustered and kept arguing against him, Heisenberg finally grew a little angry.

He put away his smile and seriously patted Jessica on the shoulder.

"Tell me, would you give everything to kill Purple Man?"

"Of course I fucking would! I'd even dress myself up as an inflatable doll and let you fuck me all you want, buddy!"

"All right, then. From now on, you can call me BOSS!"

As he spoke, Heisenberg shrugged at Jessica.

"I took over quite a bit of Kingpin's territory and many of his men, but I have to admit that he had his own charisma.

Most of the people close to Kingpin, those who held high positions in the gang hierarchy, do not submit to me.

So what I lack now are people who can truly get things done—elites strong enough, experienced enough, capable of leading a team and working alone.

So, as a former superhero, would you like to try joining a gang?"

"Whatever. As long as you keep your promise, all of me is yours!"

That was what Jessica said, and that was indeed what she decided.

To escape one swamp only to jump into another did not sound like a good choice.

But what if one swamp was eight hundred meters deep, while the other was only one and a half meters deep?

Jessica knew which one she should choose.

And so, carrying the alcohol Heisenberg had given her, she hurried back to her detective agency.

After quickly packing her things, she decisively moved into the Nightclub.

Of course, she did not move directly into the villa. Instead, she moved into the floor beneath the Nightclub, into the suite Heisenberg had arranged for her.

Starting today, Jessica officially became the Nuke Gang's chief enforcer.

As for what the Nuke Gang was...

That was the nickname other gangs had given Heisenberg's gang.

After all, that was Heisenberg—the nuclear physicist who had nearly developed nuclear weapons and helped Germany unify the world.

Even now, many people around the world believed that Heisenberg had deliberately miscalculated the data needed to make nuclear bombs, preventing such weapons from spreading across the world.

Unfortunately, such weapons ultimately bloomed in Einstein's hands.

Yet Heisenberg of that era was still regarded as a model by countless present-day peace advocates.

On one hand, Heisenberg's recruitment efforts for his team were in full swing.

On the other hand, Nick Fury was also working to bring his own team together.

After three days in seclusion, Iron Man had successfully solved his palladium poisoning. The moment he returned, Nick forcefully invited him to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tony followed Nick Fury into the conference room and immediately saw a formidable lineup.

After looking everyone over, he greeted them frivolously.

"Wow, let's see who we have here.

An old man over a hundred years old, forgotten by his era.

A radiology PhD who can barely hide his inner rage and is also less intelligent than me.

My former former former secretary, a sexy bombshell from head to toe, hair included.

And one... one I've never seen before, but he looks as sour-faced as an archery enthusiast playing with bottles at the circus?"

He evaluated them so brazenly that the others' anger was practically visible.

But not only did Tony fail to back down, he went even further and said to Nick Fury.

"That Avengers Initiative you mentioned? I suddenly don't feel like joining it. Just look at this lineup. Who exactly are we supposed to avenge?

Hitler, who's been dead for sixty or seventy years? My former secretary's period? Or this archer's Olympic opponent?"

At that, he pointed at Banner, who was trying hard to restrain himself, and continued.

"The only thing you did right was recruit Dr. Banner.

With him around, we probably won't pick the wrong target for revenge, because there's an eighty or ninety percent chance that target will be him!"

"Tony!"

Nick sternly interrupted Tony, only to receive a scoff in return.

"The funniest one is you, Nick Fury. Why should we work for someone like you, someone who hides everything at every turn?

I propose that the Avengers elect our leader internally, and I'll run in that election. That's the most reasonable answer, isn't it?"

"Tony, stop fooling around. Sit down and have a proper talk. This is our first meeting, after all."

Captain America stepped in to stop Tony, making Tony curl his lip in displeasure.

But considering Captain America's identity and his father's relationship with him...

Tony shook his head and ultimately sat down.

Everyone finally, more or less, settled into the proper mood. Nick Fury stood before them, about to say something.

Unfortunately, before he could speak, he was interrupted by a knock.

No, that was not a knock on the door. It was a knock on the window!

Everyone hurriedly looked toward the window, only to see a handsome Western man in pajamas floating outside.

Heisenberg politely knocked on the window while releasing Heat Vision.

Controlling the Heat Vision so that it only melted the glass in front of him, Heisenberg naturally walked into the conference room.

"Damn it, how are you here? This is Washington!!!"

Tony asked Heisenberg with a stunned expression. He was genuinely a little panicked now.

After all, this meeting was meant to discuss how to deal with a certain person.

And now that Heisenberg had appeared, had he discovered them? Was he angry? Was he about to slaughter everyone?

No, clearly not.

Heisenberg nodded to everyone and said with a smile.

"Nick, I went to your New York branch office. They said you were here, so I came looking for you."

"But why didn't my people tell me!?!"

Nick looked utterly confused.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Listening to the ringtone in his ear, Nick seemed to realize something.

His expression gradually turned horrified.

The moment he answered the call, Hill's anxious voice came through from the other end.

"Director, Heisenberg just came to the branch office and asked me where you were. I'm afraid he has business with you!"

"Mm, I know..." Nick's face looked like that of a dead man. "He had already arrived."
