I, Hawkeye, Pay Up—Please Recommend and Bookmark

The moment the gunfire rang out, it caught Big Daddy and Hit-Girl's attention.

Frank Amick's hideout was guarded far more heavily than they had imagined. They had been worrying over how to infiltrate it when, unexpectedly, an ally had already torn open a gap for them.

Those who commit many injustices are bound to destroy themselves. Heaven truly wanted you dead!

Battle-hardened as they were, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl naturally wouldn't let this fleeting opportunity slip away!

The panicked gangsters who fled like stray dogs were all cut down by Big Daddy and Hit-Girl as easily as chopping vegetables.

After achieving such astonishing results, the father and daughter instinctively exchanged a glance, each seeing unparalleled shock in the other's eyes.

People often said that your enemies were the ones who understood you best!

Hit-Girl and Big Daddy had sabotaged Frank's operations time and again. They had also suffered at Frank's hands, and had even nearly gone up in flames with kerosene.

They knew better than anyone how capable Frank's men were.

Yet what they couldn't understand was who could possibly be so formidable as to crush Frank's elite forces into total disarray.

This wasn't merely defeating his men—it had shattered their spirits as well!

Who was it?

How could someone be this terrifyingly strong?!

Damon and Mindy didn't dare lower their guard as they carefully made their way toward the heart of Frank's headquarters.

As they walked, Mindy's pretty face gradually turned red, and she couldn't help but spit in disgust.

She had just admired that expert to no end, never expecting him to be such a filthy pervert, such trash!

Unlike Mindy, Damon's expression grew increasingly shocked!

Different people saw different things. Mindy saw the man's lewdness, while Damon saw that every one of his arrows had hit its mark.

The reason firearms had replaced cold weapons was because of their incomparable advantages.

Did one even need to compare guns and bows to know which was stronger?

Even a three-year-old child would know the answer!

Yet this hidden expert had used nothing but a bow to rout Frank's fully armed squad.

Just who was this person?

A godlike figure!

Terrifying beyond belief!

When Damon saw the rocket launcher casing, his mouth fell wide open—wide enough to fit an apple inside!

In an instant, he recognized both the source and model of the rocket.

There was no other reason: he had ordered that rocket launcher online himself, with free shipping!

That kind of power... and it still couldn't deal with the godlike figure who had come to cause trouble for Frank?

For a moment, Damon even had the urge to scoop up Mindy and run!

This level of conflict was no longer something two little nobodies like him and Mindy could meddle in!

But they had already come this far. If he just ran away now—

How would he ever show off in front of Mindy again?

As a father, he could bleed, and he could lose his head, but in front of his daughter, his hair couldn't be messed up!

He had his pride too!

And so, Damon and Mindy continued step by step toward the core of Frank's hideout.

"Frank Amick, you have let this city down!"

With a longbow in hand, Rimuru successfully hypnotized all of Frank's most trusted bodyguards.

As for Frank himself, he was already swaying on the verge of collapse, only one step away from being successfully hypnotized.

When he heard Rimuru say that he had let the city down, Frank Amick felt as though ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.

Damn it, he was just sitting at home, and disaster had fallen from the sky!

As a Drug Lord, Frank Amick had long prepared himself mentally for enemies coming to his doorstep.

But he really didn't know this guy in front of him!

Cough, cough. Frank spat out a mouthful of bloody foam and said bitterly, "Who the hell are you?"

Rimuru straightened his back. "My name never changes, no matter where I stand. I am the universe's greatest archer, Hawkeye!"

Frank: "Hawkeye? Do we have a grudge?"

Rimuru: "Never have!"

Frank: "..."

Fuck, he'd run into a meddler!

Heroes had tempers too. Trying to bribe a superhero with money was undoubtedly incredibly foolish.

What superhero would even care about that?

In movies, whenever a big villain feared death and tried to bribe a hero with money to buy his life, the hero would always righteously refuse, say something like, "Who wants your filthy money?" and then finish the villain off.

Whenever Frank Amick had seen such idiotic scenes before, he had always dismissed them with contempt.

But at a life-or-death moment like this, even if it was utterly stupid, he still wanted to give it a try!

"Don't kill me! I have money, lots and lots of money! As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to give you all my assets!"

"Really?"

Rimuru's eyes instantly lit up, shining like two giant lightbulbs in the night.

Frank Amick nearly choked on his own breath.

His life had been spared, so why did he feel so stifled?

"Frank, you've let this city down." Listen to that—what a lofty, impressive line.

Who would have thought he'd run into a freeloader instead?!

"I @##¥%***..."

Frank Amick felt the urge to smash his head into a wall. Hawkeye, I won't rest until one of us is dead!

Meanwhile, at the Tri-Wing Building.

Hawkeye Clinton Francis Barton suddenly felt a chill run down his back and sneezed several times in succession.

Frank had originally wanted to underreport some of his assets, but when he saw the sinister look in Rimuru's eyes, he immediately chickened out.

A true man knew when to bend and when to stand tall. He would endure it!

When she learned that Frank's total assets amounted to nearly 1.5 billion, with over 600 million in liquid funds alone, even Rimuru, who had been mentally prepared, felt her little heart pounding wildly.

Murder and arson made fortunes, while building bridges and roads left nothing but bones. This kind of cost-free business really was terrifying.

In the end, under Rimuru's "caring gaze," Frank Amick didn't dare pull any tricks and could only obediently make the transfer.

When she heard the good news from Aiya, Rimuru couldn't help but break into a grin.

Her hard work hadn't been in vain. Not only could she afford tea eggs now, she could even afford China's finest, most premium pickled mustard greens!

Frank Amick really was such a good person!

"Thanks, big bro!"

With that, Rimuru drifted away.

Although Frank Amick was an absolute scumbag, since Rimuru had already taken his money, she naturally wouldn't do something so immoral and dishonorable.

Besides, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl were on their way, with thirty seconds left before they reached the battlefield...

Rimuru wasn't worried in the slightest!

After Rimuru left, Frank Amick collapsed onto the ground, utterly drained.

Once he recovered a little, his eyes turned bloodshot.

Six hundred million dollars. Six hundred million dollars—half his fortune!

The hatred of having his fortune destroyed was irreconcilable!

Frank picked up the phone and dialed a number. The person on the other end had an even more terrifying reputation.

His name was... Kingpin!

Frank moved quickly, but Damon and Mindy moved even faster. The moment he told Kingpin the name Hawkeye, Damon and Mindy enthusiastically invited him and his whole family to a bucket of peanuts...
