In the office of Wilson, the New York philanthropist, Wilson's secretary was reporting on the events of the previous night.
"Our people in the police department say that our men had surrounded the female hacker. Although some bystanders intervened, it was mainly due to the sudden appearance of Clock Man who disrupted everything. He killed three of our men and took the female hacker away," the secretary said, adjusting his glasses.
Kingpin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city, and said with his back to the secretary, "Clock Man? Is that the Clock Man who blew up our harbor with Daredevil?"
"Yes!"
"Ah~ What a headache! Bring the lucky survivor here!" Kingpin sighed and waved his hand behind him.
The secretary didn't say anything more and left the office directly. He knew that Kingpin didn't care about etiquette or respect. As long as you did your job well, Kingpin would not only not be harsh on his subordinates, but would also give them more.
The secretary quickly returned to Kingpin's office with two bodyguards escorting a one-armed man. After waving for the two bodyguards to leave, he walked behind Kingpin with the one-armed man. "The person has been brought." After saying that, the secretary stepped back a few steps and stood aside.
Only then did Kingpin turn around and say to the one-armed man, "How are you feeling? Luka!"
The one-armed man was Luka, the same man who had been in charge of the human trafficking trade at the harbor warehouse. Luka was lucky; he only had one arm broken, and he jumped into the sea before the final explosion, which saved him from death.
Luka was nervous in front of the legendary underworld boss, stammering, "Th-thank you! Thank you, Kingpin, for your rescue. My injuries have long since healed."
Kingpin took a puff of his cigar and said:
"No need to be nervous! The gang you joined is working for me, so you're also considered to be working for me. I never mistreat my own people. I called you here this time to find out about the Clock Man who appeared at the harbor that day."
Hearing the words "Clock Man," Luka's burned face became even more hideous. He looked down at his empty right arm, gritting his teeth, and said: "I will never forget him! Although he wore armor and used a voice changer to hide his identity well, he didn't expect me to be in the water at the time. I heard what he said to Daredevil. He will come for Daredevil again."
Kingpin slowly walked back to his boss chair, sat down, poured two glasses of whiskey, and motioned for Luka to take a glass. After taking a sip, he said: "The Clock Man wants to get close to Daredevil? Then, if we capture Daredevil, the Clock Man will likely show up, right? Then tell me about the Clock Man's fighting style."
Luka took a sip of his drink and said: "He didn't use any close combat skills, and I don't know what his skills are like. But his gun is a laser weapon that explodes directly after hitting someone. If you get hit in the body or head, you're dead."
"Okay! I hope you can continue to work for me, not back to your gang, but really work in this company. In the future, you may be able to take revenge on that Clock Man yourself."
"Alright! I'm in!"
Even though Luka had interrupted, Kingpin wasn't annoyed. He was very satisfied with the burning flames of revenge in Luka's eyes.
That night, news of Zi-O reappearing on the streets of New York and saving a girl being chased by a gang was reported to Nick Fury and Pierce's desks.
Nick Fury said to Coulson beside him, "Zi-O is actually playing the hero and doing good deeds! Has this demon king taken some kind of medicine?"
Since witnessing Zi-O firsthand last time, Nick Fury's perception of Zi-O's danger level had decreased significantly. He was no longer as vigilant as before.
Coulson didn't know what had happened that night and thought Nick Fury was just mocking him. He replied seriously:
"Our staff found out that the girl being chased by the gang is a female hacker. It seems she stole some confidential information from Wilson Company, which is why they were chasing her. Zi-O's target should be the information in the female hacker's hands. I suspect Zi-O might be targeting Wilson. Of course, it's also possible that Zi-O went specifically to save the girl."
Nick Fury saw the issue much more clearly than Coulson. Although he had been preoccupied with Hydra recently, Nick Fury still sensed something unusual.
"Wilson has been working with some gangs recently, and Matt seems to have gotten into a conflict with them. Zi-O is going to make a move against Matt again." Nick Fury gave his answer, which, although the process was wrong, surprisingly hit the mark.
Coulson also realized, "Zi-O wants to provoke a conflict between Matt and Kingpin, to create an opportunity for Matt to activate the watch!"
"That's right, but we're all a bit preoccupied right now; we're in no position to stop him." Nick Fury, after recalling Coulson, had assigned him the task of identifying Hydra spies, and these things didn't need to be kept secret.
Coulson, in a flash of inspiration, said, "We can use one enemy to eliminate another! Let Zi-O help us get rid of those people!"
After Coulson finished speaking, Nick Fury widened his one eye, staring at Coulson as if he had never realized that the seemingly upright Coulson was so devious!
If Zed were here, he would have shouted in protest. I really just wanted to save Uncle Ben.
"I've already agreed to join your team. Shouldn't you take me on a tour of your base? This folding bed is really uncomfortable!" Skye complained, lying on the bed and grumbling.
Although Zed had successfully persuaded Skye to join his side, he still maintained a certain level of caution. After all, Skye wasn't exactly the type to stay put.
"Figure out where those excavation tools are being transported first! This is your initiation. You can't just think about reaching the sky in one step. The young people these days…" Zed shook his head as he spoke.
Being lectured by someone younger than herself made Skye feel uneasy: "You're younger than me!"
"My mental age is older! Don't look at me like that, get to work. If you do well, I'll introduce you to the Research Director's lab. The computers there are much better than this laptop!" Zed coaxed Skye into doing her old job.
Skye really wanted to go to that Research lab to see this guy's secret base. After getting up, she sat in front of the laptop and started to wrestle with the code.
Skye, after typing for a while, discovered something unusual about this laptop. She turned around and asked Zed with a look of shock:
"What have you guys done with this computer? The code here is very complex. And! And there's a lot I haven't seen! What are all these things?"
After Dan Kuroto's company was built, Gold Eye was moved to the company. What Skye had discovered now were the traces left by Dan Kuroto when he developed Gold Eye.
Zed said meaningfully: "The previous user of this computer was the Research Director I mentioned! Want to go and learn technology that surpasses this era from him? Work hard! Girl!"
Skye glared at the guy who had her completely figured out, grinding her teeth: "You! You! Just how well do you know me? You planned everything, just waiting for me to jump into the fire!"
"You could always quit!"
"You!"
Helpless, Skye could only vent her frustration on her laptop, furiously hammering away at the keyboard. Just you wait until I find out about my own background, then I'll dig up your secrets, and see how I treat you.
While Skye was typing, Zed was considering how to continue polishing Skye, this uncut jade. He had a long way to go to win her over completely; it was a long and arduous journey.
As the sky grew dark, just before Zed was about to leave, Skye finally found out where the excavation equipment had gone.
A New York office building had recently changed hands. The new owner planned to renovate the building, and had bought a lot of excavation equipment both openly and secretly. Tools were always mysteriously disappearing from the construction site, but no one mentioned it. That is, until Skye, with a specific purpose in mind, investigated and discovered it.
"It's this company. The construction site next to their building is just a disguise; the real construction site is probably underground," Skye proudly showed off her findings to Zed.
Seeing that things were starting to make sense, Zed wasn't in a hurry to go home. He looked deeply at Skye and said, "Bring your laptop and come with me."
Skye, very excited, picked up her laptop and walked to the door, ready to see the secret base Zed had mentioned. But when she turned around, she found Zed walking towards the warehouse stairs.
Skye followed suspiciously, asking, "I've searched this warehouse several times and there's nothing strange about it. Even if there's a secret passage, why would it lead to the stairs?"
Zed ignored her, letting Skye talk to herself, and went all the way to the warehouse rooftop. Zed had specifically removed all the lights near the rooftop, and under the cover of the night, the entire rooftop was pitch black.
In Skye's eyes, Zed reached out a hand and made a gesture in the air! Nothing happened!
Skye rolled her eyes at Zed: "What are you doing? Nothing happened! Magic failed?"
"Heh heh heh! Welcome aboard my ride, ladies first!" After saying this, Zed performed a gentleman's bow.
As Zed's hand swept across, a door opened in the void, and the invisible Time Mazine opened its cabin.
Skye's mouth dropped open so wide that two eggs could have fit inside, causing Zed to take a second look.
Seeing Skye completely stunned, Zed pushed her onto the Time Mazine. Once inside, Skye began to touch everything, exploring.
This thing's sense of technology was far superior to Zed's Zi-O armor. Skye was truly captivated by this futuristic technology. Finally, all her shock transformed into a single word: "Cool~"
"Hold on tight! The old driver's about to hit the road!"
While Zed was taking Skye to Dan Kuroto's company, Peter was at home, meticulously sewing his red hoodie, creating Spider-Man's first suit.
