The Power of Magic and Science

"How did you get here?"

Elektra looked at Ke Chen with a beaming smile, feeling as though even her wounds no longer hurt.

"If I hadn't come to save you, he would've taken you down."

Ke Chen rolled his eyes, which filled Elektra's face with happiness.

Who knew what she was so happy about.

He now knew that Elektra was actually a ninja. No wonder he had always felt that name sounded familiar.

Then, thinking of Bullseye—Bullseye's enemy was Daredevil—he finally remembered where he had heard the name Elektra before.

All in all, Elektra had never been an ordinary person.

That meant Ke Chen had nothing to worry about.

"What happened to him?"

Elektra looked at the vacant-eyed Bullseye and asked.

"Nothing. He'll be dead soon."

Ke Chen said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Elektra was somewhat confused.

But she did not care.

Ke Chen had come to save her. That proved the man before her was just saying one thing and meaning another. He acted as though he did not care about her, but deep down, she still mattered to him.

That made Elektra very happy.

She was basically winning herself over.

But she had always wanted to take the initiative with Ke Chen, and Ke Chen had long since stopped caring.

Under Elektra's astonished gaze, Bullseye walked to the edge of the rooftop on his own, then jumped off.

"??"

Elektra hurried over and looked down.

Just in time to see Bullseye slam into a car. The car alarm immediately went off, and blood dyed the ground red.

"How did you do that?"

She stared at Ke Chen in shock.

Elektra had always thought Ke Chen was just an ordinary person. She had not expected him to be so... bizarre.

"Guess."

Ke Chen said with a smile.

Elektra rolled her beautiful eyes and persistently asked, "Are you a Mutant?"

"No."

Ke Chen answered at once.

How could he possibly be a Mutant?

Were any Mutants as handsome as him?

"Then just how strong are you?"

At that moment, Elektra seemed to have turned into a curious child, with countless questions in her heart.

Ke Chen held out his hand, leaving a tiny gap between his thumb and index finger. "I'm only a teensy bit stronger than you."

Then he directly wrapped an arm around Elektra's waist and carried her away, partly so she would stop asking questions.

Elektra had injured her waist, so she naturally let him carry her. Looking at Ke Chen's profile, she practically wanted to take a bite out of him.

This was so romantic!

Not long after the two left, several cars pulled up nearby. Their occupants saw Bullseye, whose entire body had been smashed into something like mush.

Every bone in his body must have been shattered. He was surely dead beyond doubt.

These people were Kingpin's men. Knowing how highly Kingpin valued Bullseye, they immediately came to collect his body.

But to their surprise, they discovered that Bullseye still had signs of life.

Was this guy a cockroach or something?

They looked up at the building. It was at least ten stories high, and Bullseye had not died on impact?

But unfortunately, what use was being alive now?

They took Bullseye away and immediately reported to Kingpin.

At that moment, Kingpin was in a secret underground laboratory beneath New York. The laboratory was enormous, as though the entire underground had been hollowed out.

Kingpin stood in a glass room directly above the laboratory. White panels lined the lab's sides, while a massive Quantum Collider stood in the center.

He was admiring his masterpiece.

"When can it be put into use?"

Kingpin asked the scientists he had hired.

To complete this experiment, the underground emperor Kingpin had hired dozens of researchers.

It was an unprecedented feat!

"It will take a while longer."

"Mostly because of the parameters."

The white-bearded scientist spoke.

Kingpin was their financier, after all, so they treated him with great respect.

"I can hardly wait. My wife, my Richard."

A gentle smile appeared on Kingpin's square-shaped face.

He had a massive build, every inch of him packed with explosive muscle, making him look incredibly bloated.

The underground emperor's strength was beyond question. Since his rise to power, no one had ever defeated Kingpin, and every enemy he had faced had been slaughtered by him.

It was precisely because he committed every evil imaginable—arson, murder, looting, and worse—that he ascended to the throne of New York's underground king.

Yet even Kingpin could be lonely. His wife Vanessa had entered his life and borne him a son.

Richard.

But before long, Kingpin's son Richard was assassinated. Kingpin began taking revenge like a madman, killing countless people.

After calming down, Kingpin realized that entering this line of work was easy, but walking away unscathed was impossible.

So he killed his own wife, Vanessa, with his own hands.

But clearly, Kingpin regretted it.

The Quantum Collider could make up for his regrets.

The dead could not return to life, but a wife and son from another world would still be his wife and son...

At that moment, Kingpin's thoughts were the same as Scarlet Witch Wanda's would later be.

The difference was that Wanda used the power of magic, while Kingpin relied on the power of science.

Kingpin had already imagined that scene, and a smile crept onto his lips.

He returned to Kingpin Building, only to learn the terrible news that Bullseye had nearly lost his life.

Kingpin, who had been immersed in his fantasies, suddenly stiffened. Astonishing killing intent erupted from his eyes.

"Elektra!"

"I underestimated you."

Kingpin immediately thought of Elektra.

Bullseye's mission had been to hunt her down.

In his eyes, Elektra was merely a nobody. Yet now, that nobody had defeated Bullseye. Kingpin had not expected that.

"Take Bullseye to the laboratory."

Kingpin said coldly.

He suppressed the urge to seek revenge on Elektra immediately.

His experiment was about to begin. It was not the time to invite unnecessary complications.

Though he did not take Elektra seriously, he did not want to bear any risk whatsoever.

Ke Chen drove Elektra back to Long Island.

He looked at Elektra's outfit, though he had no idea how many times he had already looked.

"I designed it myself. Does it look good?"

Elektra asked with a smile.

She seemed to have figured out Ke Chen's preferences.

Before, no matter how beautiful an evening gown she wore, Ke Chen would only glance at it a few times. He would not stare like he was doing now.

That made Elektra realize that Ke Chen liked uniforms.

The red ninja outfit she wore had been designed by herself.

The upper half resembled a small vest, exposing her navel, while the lower half consisted of tight red pants that showed off her figure perfectly.

"Not bad."

Naturally, Ke Chen would not reveal his true nature.

"I also have a black one..."

Elektra's dark green eyes were filled with amusement.

"I'll wear it for you next time."

Ke Chen swallowed.

What a teasing little minx.

To avoid embarrassing himself in front of Elektra, he immediately coughed twice and asked, "How exactly did you provoke him?"

Elektra sat properly, leaning back against the car seat as she said, "His name is Bullseye. I used to work under Kingpin alongside him, and he came to hold a grudge against me."
