A Punisher With Principles

"Fuck you, you freakish brat! Let me go if you dare, and I'll kill you!" Scarecrow cursed loudly.

Snap!

Peter stuck Scarecrow's mouth shut with webbing.

"Wait until Spider-Man's allies catch up with your buddies before you start greeting them."

With that, Peter dropped down.

Seeing Scarecrow captured so easily, his companion immediately realized he was being targeted by an overwhelmingly powerful opponent.

It was likely the Avengers!

So, he decisively chose to betray his teammate and floored the accelerator, preparing to escape.

Just then, a "thump" sounded on the car roof.

Immediately after, a metal rod pierced through the car window and stabbed directly into his steering wheel. The part extending downwards precisely lodged by his feet, trapping his entire leg in the driver's seat, rendering him immobile.

"I surrender, I surrender!" He immediately took his hands off the steering wheel, clutched his head, his actions so practiced they were almost pitiful.

He'd probably been captured many times.

Daredevil, kneeling on the car roof, was momentarily stunned by his behavior.

"Get out of the car, hands behind your head, and squat beside the vehicle," Daredevil said calmly, retracting his rod.

"Okay, okay," the guy was also very compliant, getting out of the car as instructed.

Peter happened to see this scene as he landed.

He didn't know any of this, only assuming Daredevil's impressive skills had directly made the villain surrender.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Just then, several gunshots rang out from not far away.

Immediately after, the vehicle of the escaping Hellhounds members began to swerve erratically like a drunkard, heading towards the river, before finally plunging into the vast river.

"It seems The Punisher has dealt with those guys. If you don't want these two to be shot indiscriminately by him, you'd better quickly extract some useful information," Daredevil said, seemingly offering Peter helpful advice, but in reality, he was applying pressure to Scarecrow's captured companion.

He could sense that Scarecrow's companion was currently very "scared."

And with Daredevil's words, and those gunshots, this person's fear level increased further.

This was the most opportune moment for interrogation.

Having learned reconnaissance skills from Shadow Spider-Man, Peter naturally picked up some interrogation techniques as well.

"Tell me your name!"

"I, I'm Herman."

"Your full name!"

"Herman Schultz."

"What's that guy's name?"

"His name is Jackson Bryce."

"Who do you work for?"

Herman hesitated.

Peter pointed to the other side and said, "You know that guy? That's The Punisher. He hates evil with a passion. Hell's Kitchen's three major gangs and the former leader, Kingpin, have all fallen into his hands! He's a ruthless killer who despises evil. At least a hundred gang members have died by his hand so far!"

"If he comes over and sees you, what do you think your fate will be?"

Herman trembled upon hearing this, "Then, then you... if I confess everything, will you let me go?"

Peter shook his head, "No, but I'll send you to the police station. As long as you're not a heinous criminal, you'll get out after serving some time."

Herman was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, you win, Spider-Man. I work for Adrian Toomes. Our factory address is..."

He quickly finished relaying all the information he knew.

Peter listened and took notes. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Daredevil.

Daredevil, the human lie detector, nodded, indicating that the guy wasn't lying.

Then, Peter took a phone out of Herman's pocket, dialed the New York City Police Department, and with a touch of malicious humor, shoved the phone into Herman's ear.

Herman gave him a speechless look, then dejectedly reported himself to the police, asking them to arrest him.

At first, the other side didn't believe it, but after Herman emphasized it repeatedly, they half-believed him and promised to dispatch a police car.

So, Peter grabbed him, leaped high, and landed beside Scarecrow, hanging the two of them together.

Then, Peter sealed Herman's mouth shut and intended to question Jackson Bryce in a similar manner.

But this guy seemed quite proud, or perhaps a bit neurotic.

Peter questioned him for a long time but couldn't get anything useful out of him.

He was so angry he almost wanted to take Jackson down and let The Punisher execute him.

From what he'd learned from the Hellhounds earlier, Jackson, relying on a high-tech glove, often acted tyrannically and had blood on his hands.

The only difference between him and those vicious gangsters was that he killed people who owed money for weapons, meaning gangsters; while those gangsters bullied ordinary residents.

In a sense, he was eliminating evil for the people.

However, this guy was neither a "semi-public official" like Peter, nor a special individual with amnesty like The Punisher.

His killing, regardless of who he killed, was a crime in this era.

At this moment, Daredevil called out from below.

Peter descended.

"What's wrong, Mr. Daredevil?" Peter inquired.

Daredevil said, "After you went up, the phone in the car rang. It should be from Mr. Scarecrow."

"Who's calling?" Peter had some guesses.

Daredevil pointed to his eyes and handed him a phone, "You'll have to see for yourself."

Peter gave an awkward smile. Daredevil's actions always made him subconsciously forget that he was blind.

Taking the phone Daredevil handed him, Peter opened it and saw it was indeed labeled "Toomes."

"It's their BOSS, Adrian Toomes."

"Then I suggest you go as soon as possible. If they don't answer the call, Toomes might suspect something. If he evacuates, your plan will fall through," Daredevil offered a sound analysis.

Peter nodded, looking a bit troubled, "These two guys..."

Daredevil smiled slightly, "Leave them to me. I'll wait until they're taken away by the police before I leave. Besides, Frank has already left, so you don't have to worry about him killing them."

"Ah, Mr. Castle has left?" Peter asked in surprise.

Daredevil said, "His objective has been achieved anyway. As for those two, he said they are your prey, and he doesn't have any evidence of their crimes, so he's not interested in them for now."

"I see. It seems Mr. Castle is also a man of principle," Peter's impression of The Punisher improved slightly.

Daredevil chuckled.

After thanking Daredevil for his help, Peter took the two men hanging from the bridge down and put them in the car.

After all, it was inconvenient for Daredevil to move around, and it would be difficult for the police to retrieve them from that position when they arrived.

Afterward, they exchanged contact information, and Peter bid farewell to Daredevil, heading towards Toomes's weapons factory.
