"Hey, the guy eavesdropping at the door, why don't you come in and join us?"
Bai Ye gently cracked his knuckles, his tone calm. As he spoke, Peter also turned his gaze towards the door.
Focusing his attention, Peter could also hear the heartbeat coming from the doorway, surprised at when the person had hidden behind the door.
"Daredevil is right, you really have potential."
A deep male voice came from the doorway, and then the door opened. A man with a skull printed on his T-shirt walked in, looking at Bai Ye with admiration.
"Daredevil? Did he send you?"
Bai Ye frowned and said, "I just want to live a peaceful life now, why are you superheroes always so persistent? Can't you just leave me alone!"
Thinking about Daredevil, whose limbs he'd broken but who still managed to attract trouble, Bai Ye wanted to go to the hospital and punch him a couple more times. He's bored, so he's attracting monsters for me, is he?
"Bai, is he a superhero? And you know Daredevil?"
Peter looked at the man in front of him with curiosity. This was the first time he'd seen a superhero.
"Of course. Let me introduce you properly. This is the Punisher. Like Daredevil, he's a local street-level hero in New York, the bane of New York City's criminals."
"The only downside is that he's been around for four or five years since he started, and yet Kingpin is still thriving in the underworld. I don't know what he's been doing all these years fighting crime."
Bai Ye introduced the Punisher to Peter with great fanfare. As the Punisher's expression gradually darkened, Bai Ye suddenly realized that Peter, this Spider-Man, seemed to be heading down the same path.
"Kid, don't you think you're being a little arrogant?"
The Punisher walked in front of Bai Ye. Standing at a height of one meter and ninety centimeters, he slightly lowered his head, looking down at Bai Ye, who was half a head shorter than him, and said, "With great power comes great responsibility. A peaceful life must be fought for. If you don't eliminate those evils, no one can find peace."
"Here we go again. Do you superheroes only have one line?"
Bai Ye rolled his eyes. "After becoming an orphan three years ago, I stopped believing in your inspirational speeches. I don't want to waste time with you guys. Get to the point, or get lost."
"Before we get to the main topic, I need to assess you. If you're not up to par, then…"
Before Punisher could finish, his expression changed. Bai Ye's right fist had already broken through the air and was heading towards his abdomen, moving far faster than he could react.
"You talk too much…"
Bai Ye's lips moved, but only half the sentence came out before his right fist connected with Punisher's arms, which were crossed in a defensive block.
The force of a raging beast surged through Punisher's tensed body, sending him flying into the air.
How can he be so fast???
Surprise, or rather shock, flashed across Punisher's eyes.
But before his airborne body reached its peak, Bai Ye's right fist transformed into an open palm.
His right palm gently pressed down on Punisher's head, and then, gripping his head, slammed his entire body hard onto the ground.
The whole process took less than a second. Bai Ye had already overpowered the superhero in front of him, who was no weaker than Daredevil in terms of combat ability.
It was only then that Bai Ye's second half of the sentence slowly emerged: "...too many."
'How is this possible? Matt said this kid was only a little stronger than me, with no technique at all. He said I could beat him as long as I was careful?'
Punisher, pinned to the ground, felt his head tremble with shock. Matt, you son of a bitch, you gave me false information! This is only a little stronger than me?
What Punisher didn't know was that Matt was actually exaggerating a bit.
Bai Ye's strength wasn't that much stronger than his, only a mere 0.5, according to the attribute panel calculation method, of course.
Description: Detected you initiating an attack on another, analyzing opponent's data.
Name: Frank Castle
Strength: 1.4 Agility: 1.4 Constitution: 1.4 Spirit: 1.4 Charm: 1.1 ...
Bai Ye silently looked at the Punisher's data panel. The numbers weren't too different from Daredevil's, both being peak human fighters hardened by countless battles.
And he, in just five days, had gone from barely winning with surprise tactics to effortlessly秒杀ing him.
Against these street-level superheroes, a mere 0.5 average stat difference makes it impossible to win with numbers. I wouldn't even be afraid of ten thousand of these guys. Bai Ye thought.
Focusing his mind, Bai Ye looked at the Punisher, who was lying on the ground. He retracted his right palm, only using a single index finger, as smooth and white as jade, to gently tap the top of the man's head.
The Punisher on the ground strained, trying to get up, but felt a firm pressure on his head, like a metal rod holding him down, making it impossible to lift his head.
Forcing himself would only result in Bai Ye's finger piercing his fragile skull first.
Facing the Punisher's mortal body, Bai Ye, whose physical attributes were several times superior, could incapacitate him with just a slight pressure from his index finger.
Bai Ye looked down at the Punisher, who was taller than him, his expression calm. He slowly said, "Now, can you tell me why you're here?"
"Bai, how about you let him go first?" Peter pleaded from the side.
Then, he looked down at the superhero, who had been so arrogant moments before, now seemingly trapped like a turtle on its back, unable to move. His idealized view of superheroes was somewhat shattered.
So, superheroes aren't that strong after all. If I were to step in for Bai, he'd probably be down even faster. Peter thought.
Seeing the Punisher's current state, Bai Ye also thought so.
These superheroes, though their strengths varied greatly, were all incredibly stubborn. They wouldn't talk, no matter what. The more he threatened them, the more likely they were to get excited. He couldn't reward him.
Bai Ye lightly released his finger. The Punisher quickly pushed himself up from the ground with his hands, surprised. He glanced at Bai Ye and then stated his purpose for being there.
"The Vampires have been quite active in New York recently. We've found seven bodies drained of blood just this month. I suspect they're up to something big."
The Punisher continued, "I was going to ask Mark, but he recommended you due to his condition. Now, it's clear your abilities far surpass mine, so I'd like to invite you to investigate the cause."
In Bai Ye's mind, The Punisher's whole speech boiled down to: [The Punisher has sent you a side quest request: Vampire Uprising. Accept?]
"I decline," Bai Ye said without hesitation, then pointed his right hand towards the door. "You can leave now."
