To him, money was real—everything else was an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current CEO of Rand Corporation should be able to offer a decent price, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, whether the price was good or not, he didn't really have a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after searching for a long time, Blaine found that aside from this envelope, it seemed no one else had tried to hire him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big players knew about him, sure—but they were still watching and waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who could tell if he was just a smoke screen released by S.H.I.E.L.D.?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>S.H.I.E.L.D. themselves were quite helpless about it. No matter what they said, nobody believed them—even if it was the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take some time before he started receiving a flood of job offers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This envelope had probably been stuffed through the door a while ago, so Blaine felt there was no time to waste. It was time to see what this Ward Meachum wanted from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was dark and starless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a familiar night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Familiar actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine donned his Hunter outfit, unseen for a week, and slung the Bow on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was just going to accept a mission, he had to stay on high alert—fully armed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who knew if someone was just using this name to lure him into a trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine took a long look at the small house behind him, then slowly vanished into the shadows, sprinting through the shadow world toward the Rand Corporation building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there's a mission, you do it. Not a single opportunity to make money should be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rand Corporation was located in Brooklyn, southeast of Manhattan and below Queens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Note: In the show, Rand Corporation's exact location isn't mentioned. I'm just making it up.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine's agility was astonishing now. He darted through the shadows, sometimes leaping across rooftops. His speed was so fast that the naked eye couldn't catch him. In less than a minute, he reached the Rand Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, it was late at night. Most of the lights in the building were off, with only a few still on—one of which was Ward Meachum's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine didn't take the stairs, since big corporations often required employee ID cards to use them. Instead, he directly merged into the shadows and scaled the walls like a gust of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His danger sense didn't alert him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this really was just a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward Meachum's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward sat with a troubled look, staring at the documents on his computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Danny Rand returned to the company, problems kept piling up. On top of that, his father Harold Meachum's messes had left him mentally exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, Harold had even asked him to find some \"Bounty Hunter,\" claiming it was the key to dealing with The Hand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hand? What the hell is that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was everyone around him going crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward didn't know why his father had gone just as delusional as Danny. But ever since he was a child, he had lived under his father's control—and that hadn't changed, even now. So, he obeyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and downed a pill with a glass of red wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to resume work—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly noticed that the chair in front of his desk, which had been empty, now had a dark silhouette sitting in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy sh*t!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward jumped up instantly, but accidentally banged his thigh against the desk. The intense pain made him stumble backward, collapsing against the floor-to-ceiling window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat poured down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell are you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Security! Security!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get the hell out of here, or I'll call security! Trespassing into a company like this—we'd be well within our rights to shoot you dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward clutched his leg, staring wide-eyed at the shadowy figure sitting calmly across from him, shouting in a tone that sounded orderly but was actually panic-stricken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? Weren't you the one who asked me to come? Or have you already forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure was, of course, Blaine. Watching Ward's frantic behavior, he couldn't help but laugh softly: \"With nerves like yours, you're hiring a Bounty Hunter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Nick Fury and Natasha, Ward's reaction was absolutely pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, Ward was just a rich civilian. This invitation was likely arranged by someone behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bounty Hunter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ward finally calmed down, forcing himself to stand upright. Seeing that Blaine hadn't made a move, he let out a sigh of relief: \"Phew… damn. You finally came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought The Hand was nonsense made up by Danny and Harold, but he didn't doubt the Bounty Hunter's existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Bounty Hunter was someone many had seen—an extraordinary being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard it was to accept, his presence was real. You couldn't deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f54c7a9d95086b7f90709d57ebd4d7556c6620b4cf4848e8f209c0c3af2b56e","marvel-hunter-chapter-310","marvel-hunter-chapter-309",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
