Chapter 65

Finally, the one responsible for really teaching Peter to drive was Ma Te and his girlfriend Elektra.

Ma Te's serious injury last time allowed him and Elektra to untie their knots and return to good.

Of course, after getting rid of the brainwashing of the Hand, Elektra also knew that she was impulsive at the beginning. Peter wanted to protect Ma Te. She felt a bit sorry for giving Peter a knife at that time. So when she learned from Ma Te about Peter's quite unsmooth driving practice journey, she and Ma Te took the initiative to take on the task of helping Peter practice driving.

It should be said that Elektra is indeed much more reliable than the other few people. Although she is also a ninja female killer, she is quite patient in teaching.

On this day, Peter was trying to drive by himself. Elektra and Ma Te were sitting in the car. They were talking about Kingpin.

"I must make him look good one day!" Peter said, "He actually used such despicable means to deal with you."

"Don't be impulsive, my grudge with Kingpin is very complicated, and he is the most famous underworld boss in the United States. You can't deal with him now."

"Then what about that guy called Bullseye? I remember is he still in Hell's Kitchen? I'll go beat him up tonight." Peter said.

Elektra said: "The situation is not very good now. After Kingpin learned the news of the dragon bone, he did not immediately target the Hand. They seem to have reached some kind of agreement. The worst thing is that Kingpin may have hired the Hand."

"This doesn't make sense. The Hand cares so much about the dragon bone. If they know that Kingpin also wants the dragon bone, they will definitely turn against him in the final stage. Doesn't Kingpin know this?"

"This is the worst part. Even if Kingpin knows that it is impossible for the Hand to cooperate with him sincerely, and even more impossible to hand over the dragon bone to him, he is still willing to hire them. This shows that there must be something we don't know, making Kingpin willing to hire them even at the risk of the Hand possibly turning against him."

"Does he have any big business recently?"

Elektra said with a serious face: "If you have to say it, you should also know, his drug business."

"You mean the plan that was abandoned by him before?"

"What are you talking about?" Peter controlled the steering wheel. He couldn't understand the riddle Ma Te and Elektra were playing. In this time period, little spider hadn't met Kingpin yet. Now the one mainly fighting against Kingpin is Daredevil Ma Te.

"Kingpin's drug business on the East Coast has reached a bottleneck. He has occupied the vast majority of the market, but he is not satisfied."

"I once got a piece of information before that Kingpin wanted to attack younger students, using the manpower he gathered in various universities and high schools to sell some potentially addictive drugs to younger children. In this way, one day, he can break through his historical sales."

Peter hammered the steering wheel hard, cursed in a low voice, and then he said: "From the day I wanted to be a hero, there have always been people constantly refreshing my cognitive upper limit. Why do they have no humanity at all?"

"In the future, you will see more such monsters." Ma Te said.

The calmness in his tone made Peter feel a kind of power.

The car drove from the main road into a street. Today's time is a bit late. Peter wanted to drive Ma Te's car back first and continue practicing the next day.

But just when they turned, a strong light flashed over. Peter instinctively touched his eyes, and then his spider sense moved. He immediately opened the car door and jumped down.

With a "bang," a few darts broke through the windshield and hit the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

Peter looked up and saw several black shadows jumping down from nearby high-rise buildings. Accompanied by a burst of black smoke, they approached the car in a few flashes.

After a period of training, Peter is not that completely green guy anymore. He first rolled on the spot to avoid a row of darts, then jumped hard, and hit a ninja who fell on the roof of the car down.

His strength is very great. The ninja turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared instantly.

Then, another ninja pulled the car door, but there was nothing in the car. A cold light flashed from a dagger. Elektra's figure appeared on the side of the car. She killed a ninja first, waved her backhand, and a few darts scared away another one.

Ma Te is also not in the car. His five senses exceed ordinary people too much. When the darts were still on the flight trajectory, he had already heard the movement. He killed a ninja at the tail of the car, carried his hand stick and walked over and said: "These guys are really troublesome. Last time we only killed one, and this time they all ran away again."

Peter shook his somewhat numb wrist and said: "What's going on? Have they attacked you recently?"

"Elektra and I moved, just because the original house was often harassed by these fleas."

Peter said: "I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy recently and haven't been to your place. If I knew you were in trouble, I should have gone."

"It's best you don't come. These people can't be dealt with by brute force at all. Even Elektra and I have to set traps to kill one. In this kind of encounter, they just disappear directly."

"You can't deal with the ninja's escape technique, you need to use special escape techniques to crack it." Elektra also carried a dagger and walked onto the car again.

"Do we still have to drive? Then what if they come again?"

"Didn't you find out? They are not here to kill us, just to harass."

Peter also got on the car. This time Elektra drove. Peter said: "Then what is the use of them doing this? And it can't hurt you..."

"Although we are not afraid of them, my neighbors may not be. They know that in order to protect ordinary people, I have to move from time to time. This will greatly interfere with me going out to strike their industry."

Elektra followed Ma Te's words and said: "This is the old routine commonly used by the Hand. Whoever opposes them, they send these immortal ninjas to harass them without interruption until they completely leave this area."

"These ninjas have low attack power, don't often kill people, and are elusive and leave no evidence, so the official in that area has almost no reason to take action against them."

"This is Kingpin's brilliance. He uses these ninjas of the Hand to harass me, making me have no time to hinder his industrial upgrading for the time being. He knows that even if he kills me, he won't be able to kill me for a while, and will only usher in more fierce retaliation, but this kind of harassment like flies can greatly slow down my pace."

Elektra said while turning the steering wheel: "Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why he chose to cooperate with the Hand. Your previous actions caused him too much loss. Even if Bullseye almost succeeded, you appeared again not long after, and pulled out several of his underground casinos even faster."

"He already knows that compared to hiring killers to want to kill you and always failing, sending people to harass you without interruption is a better choice."

Ma Te sighed. He was also a bit helpless about the current situation.

This group of ninjas is very annoying. They can lower their heart rate, making Ma Te unable to detect their specific location for a while. They run to his home every three days, either throwing darts or setting fires, making a mess. The landlord won't care if Ma Te is harassed, they will only drive people away.

As a lawyer, Ma Te originally had a good apartment in Manhattan to live in. His small house in Hell's Kitchen was just a stronghold. But that group of ninjas always ran to make trouble, and he had to move again and again, which indeed consumed a lot of his energy.

Daredevil also only has 24 hours a day. He originally sacrificed sleep time to strike crime, but now, he has to write complaints and participate in court during the day, and he has to move and organize things at night. Only a small while in the second half of the night can he go out to wander. Not only did efficiency drop very seriously, but energy was also somewhat insufficient.

Kingpin grasped Daredevil's weakness very well: Ma Te is still a social person. Once he encounters such trouble, in order to maintain his social identity, he will inevitably spend a lot of time.

Elektra herself also has a pile of trouble. The Hand is deadly to traitors, and she has not returned to report for too long, Kingpin also raised suspicion, Bullseye keeps looking for opportunities to kill her and regain his position.

Peter said: "Although I can't help you deal with these ninjas, at least I can find that target-headed guy's trouble first."

"You have to be careful." Elektra said: "Bullseye is not an ordinary person either. He is an acrobat master, has strong physical skills, and is full of tricks."

"That's just right, I haven't dealt with any decent opponents yet."

"Did that big tycoon Stark make you a battle suit? If you want to deal with Bullseye, you'd better wear it at all times. He is very good at using hidden weapons, but if his hidden weapons cannot penetrate your battle suit, then it will be much easier to deal with."

"The battle suit is still under testing. Yesterday I received a call from Mr. Stark, asking me to go to the building. I'm afraid it will be completed within a few days."

As he spoke, the car drove to the street near Ma Te's residence. Several people got off the car. Ma Te said: "You'd better think clearly, once you take action against Bullseye, you will inevitably enter Kingpin's field of vision."

"The struggle with Kingpin is a real life-and-death struggle, not comparable to you beating up a few robbers or thieves in Hell's Kitchen."

"He will use all the cruel means you can imagine or cannot imagine to kill you. He may become your nightmare for a lifetime. No matter where you go, you have to guard against his assassination at all times, just like me."

Peter stood on the other side of the car looking at Ma Te. The street lights on the street were all extinguished, and only the car window glass weakly reflected the lights in the residential building.

Peter asked him: "Then do you regret it? When you were lying on the operating table, do you regret participating in all this?"

"If I didn't participate in all this, I should be in a high-end apartment in the city center now, preparing for the case to be tried the next day. Perhaps, I am thinking about when to discuss engagement with my girlfriend, perhaps I might also think about whether to raise a dog..."

Elektra said: "But you are like a street rat now, let alone raising a dog, even if you raise a tropical fish, its corpse will appear at your bedroom door the next day."

"I didn't think about it at all when I chose to participate in these things. What do you think it is? I thought about it for a year before I started?"

"In fact, I plunged into this bottomless abyss with a heart of hatred and enthusiasm." Ma Te said.

"Although I very much hope you become a superhero, because with your ability you can save many people, this is also why I am willing to teach you."

"But I am not trying to lie to you. I must remind you that opposing Kingpin means you have no way back."

"You must be both just and strong. If one is missing, there is only a dead end."
