Chapter 15
Made Daredevil, who knew Kingpin's background, feel incredibly strange.
He hadn't expected Kingpin to have a moment like this.
……
Seeing Kingpin's hesitant expression,
Karl felt a bit surprised in his heart.
Although ten billion wasn't a small amount, compared to one's life, anyone would know how to choose.
It seemed this Kingpin didn't want to live.
He had already given the other party a chance, but Kingpin didn't cherish it.
He didn't know what this guy was thinking.
The smile on Karl's face remained, but red light shone in his eyes.
He looked at Kingpin and smiled, "It seems you can't help me find the money. What a pity."
As he spoke, Karl prepared to deal with Kingpin.
Seeing the red light in Karl's eyes, Kingpin's expression changed immediately.
He hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mr. Karl, please don't do this!"
Karl ignored the other party's intentions.
Kingpin felt a shock in his heart.
Was it over?
This Karl's superpower was just too bizarre.
Bullseye had been melted directly.
He probably wasn't a match either.
Should he fight back?
It was a pity.
The price the other party wanted was just too high.
All the funds he had on hand, if added together,
were probably only a few billion dollars.
Kingpin thought rapidly.
As a result, just at this moment,
Karl suddenly stopped.
He looked at Kingpin with a strange expression.
"You... are poorer than I imagined."
"Huh?"
Kingpin was stunned, not knowing why Karl would say that.
Was he poor?
Kingpin didn't think he was poor.
Starting from scratch, he now possessed over thirty billion in assets.
He had never thought he would be associated with the word "poor."
However, he couldn't really refute Karl's words.
On the side, Daredevil was also full of surprise.
He and Kingpin were old rivals.
He knew this underground emperor had many industries.
Especially the narcotics trade, which Daredevil had disrupted countless times.
Of course, he knew what Kingpin did.
Bad was bad.
But if you said he had no money,
Daredevil would be the first to disagree.
At this time, Karl continued to say to Kingpin, "Since you aren't as rich as I imagined, then I'll have to change methods. Of course, the price cannot be changed."
He thought for a moment and then continued, "You still have to help me find ten billion dollars. It's just that you can find two billion dollars for now."
"The remaining money, give it to me when you have it... help me find it."
"But it must be calculated according to bank interest."
After finishing, Karl asked Kingpin, "What do you think?"
"Huh?"
Kingpin was stunned, not expecting such a turn of events.
He had no idea what was going on.
But after thinking for a moment, he immediately agreed.
"Okay."
Although two billion in funds was still a lot for him,
it wasn't impossible to come up with.
After all, life was the most important thing.
If he died, keeping the money was useless.
"Hmm, this is my card number, take note of it."
As he spoke, Karl gave his bank card number to Kingpin.
Seeing the other party note it down, Karl smiled lightly and said, "Right, I hope to see my two billion dollars within three days. The remaining eight billion and interest, find it for me within three years."
"I believe you don't want any accidents to happen, do you?"
Hearing this, Kingpin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
However,
how did he feel that what Karl said sounded somewhat familiar?
Thinking carefully,
wasn't this what he had said when he wrote the letter to Karl earlier?
Thinking of this, Kingpin gave a bitter smile.
This guy really held a grudge.
But why had he suddenly changed his plan?
Changed to this method of extortion?
But he couldn't say much, so he had to agree, "I will transfer the money to you as soon as possible, by tomorrow at the latest." "Hmm," Karl nodded.
In reality,
when he had been wondering what Kingpin was thinking just now, why he wouldn't give the money,
he suddenly discovered that his Silver Superman template
had an ability called Mind Reading.
So he had used it subconsciously.
Therefore,
from that moment until now,
Karl knew everything Kingpin was thinking.
That was why he had changed his method.
First, let the other party give two billion dollars.
After all, Kingpin might not necessarily have more than that.
To be honest,
Kingpin's funds were less than Karl had imagined.
A few billion dollars, about the same as his own.
And this was the so-called New York underground emperor? It was truly lacking.
Even the ransom money had to be paid in installments.
Even the blood money has to be paid in installments.
Pathetic.
As for why Karl didn't kill Kingpin,
it could be said there was no reason.
Seeing the other party was sensible and didn't attack was one aspect.
The ransom money was another aspect.
More than anything, it was just a whim.
Ultimately, Kingpin had no real grudge against him.
It was just that the other party was unlucky and ran into him.
As for other things, heroes, villains, and so on,
Karl didn't want to care much.
Occasionally encountering someone annoying, he would just remove them.
He wouldn't go around the world looking for villains to clean up.
That would be too boring.
Karl had never thought about becoming the kind of hero who solved all the villains.
He had no interest.
He just did things according to his mood.
If he didn't like the look of someone, or if they provoked him,
Karl would make a move.
Regardless of the other party's identity.
Civilians, tycoons, heroes, villains...
In his eyes, it didn't matter.
What was important was himself.
If he wanted to do it, he did it.
Karl looked at Kingpin and said, "Since you intend to pay the ransom... help me find the money. Then I'll be going, I have other things to deal with."
"As for this guy,"
"let him go today, do whatever you want with him later."
Kingpin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Okay, please go slowly."
"Hmm."
Karl nodded, preparing to leave.
Just then, Daredevil suddenly spoke.
"How can you do this!"
"Kingpin is the biggest underground boss in New York."
"You have such powerful strength, why don't you sanction him, but instead demand money from him?" Karl glanced at Daredevil, his expression calm.
"No reason."
"If you have to say, it's because I want to do it."
As he spoke, Karl kicked Daredevil.
"Whoosh!"
Daredevil's figure flew backward instantly, falling into the sea.
Then, Karl's figure flashed, flying into the sky.
Almost in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
Kingpin looked up.
Watching the direction Karl left in, he remained silent for a long time.
At this moment,
Kingpin's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
