Chapter 156 - Two Acquaintances

Dr. Ethan's special clothing greatly interested Andy and his companions.

This light yet highly protective gear was very suitable for the people around them.

They themselves had armored equipment, but the people around them did not.

Although Andy had already given everyone an Energy Shield, an extra layer of protection was always good.

Once the Energy Shield was depleted, this clothing would be their best protection.

Dr. Ethan clearly understood this situation, and he licensed this technology to Andy and his companions in exchange for their investment.

While he could have directly asked for research funds, he felt more at ease using money he earned himself.

Furthermore, he had specifically created this for the regular employees of Hunter's Bar.

Even if he didn't license it to Andy and his companions, he wouldn't sell this equipment.

After all, the defensive capabilities of this equipment were truly astonishing, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it fell into the Hands of malicious individuals.

During their conversation, Dr. Ethan exchanged this technology for tens of millions in research funds and a 1% share of Steel Watchers' profits.

This would allow him to no longer worry about funding for his future research.

Andy and his companions were so engrossed in their conversation that they completely forgot about Matt and his group.

Seeing that Andy and his companions weren't paying attention to them, Daniel asked Matt to continue looking after the old man, and he stepped forward to ask for help.

He straightened his clothes and walked towards Andy and his companions with a smile.

"Mr. Andy, may I bother you for a moment?"

Previously, he had been influenced to make some bad moves, but now he had broken free from that influence.

The current Daniel was his normal self, a humble and polite person.

"Oh? You are Daniel?"

Daniel's sudden interruption brought Andy and his companions' conversation to a halt.

But as everyone looked at Daniel, Norman seemed very surprised.

He hadn't noticed him when they first came in.

Only now that Daniel stood before him did he realize that the young man in front of him was an acquaintance.

"Norman, do you two know each other?"

Compared to Norman's surprise, Andy and his companions were curious.

They had never known that they would meet someone Norman knew here.

"Of course, I know him. Daniel may not remember me, but I remember Daniel very clearly."

Norman patted Daniel's shoulder and continued with a smile:

"His father and I are good friends. Previously, his entire family went to China for a trip and then all disappeared.

I thought I would never see Daniel's family again, but I didn't expect to see him here."

As he spoke, he looked at Daniel and asked with a smile:

"How are your parents? I haven't seen them in ten years."

When his parents were mentioned, Daniel looked very dejected.

He said in a low voice: "My parents passed away ten years ago. I was saved by my master."

Ten years ago, he and his parents were traveling in China and encountered a pack of wolves on a snowy mountain.

His parents fought with the wolves to protect him, and ultimately died tragically at the mouths of the wolves.

Just as the wolves were closing in on him, his master appeared and drove them away.

After burying his parents, his master took him to cultivate in a secret realm.

The reason he was able to leave that place was because he successfully passed the trial and became the Iron Fist.

Therefore, his master granted him a year to say goodbye to the outside World.

After hearing Daniel's explanation, Norman fell silent.

He hadn't expected Daniel's family to experience such a terrible thing ten years ago.

However, it was also thanks to Daniel's master; otherwise, Daniel might have also perished at the wolves' mouths.

"Alright, tell me why you're here.

If you returned from China, you should have gone back to Rand Corporation, not here."

Norman was puzzled as to why he would see Daniel in Hell's Kitchen.

This was Hell's Kitchen, and although it was relatively peaceful near the Hunter's Tavern.

Other areas were completely chaotic, not a place Daniel should be.

Daniel understood Norman's question and explained to him.

Originally, he returned to America to say goodbye to the World, but after returning, he met Matt.

Through Matt's introduction, he also met Matt's master, the blind old man Stick.

Because of his Iron Fist, Stick bowed to him and revealed the truth.

Stick came from the Chaste, the last member of the Chaste, and the Chaste's existence was to capture the Hand.

Because they both came from the same place, the secret realm where Daniel was trained, K'un-Lun.

Under Stick's narration, Daniel learned the Hand's true purpose: the Dragon Bones buried beneath New York.

The Hand had existed for hundreds of years, all because they stole the Dragon Bones from K'un-Lun when they escaped.

It was precisely because of those stolen Dragon Bones that the Hand's members were so desperate.

Because even if they died, they would be resurrected.

To prevent the Hand from excavating the Dragon Bones and even destroying all of New York.

Daniel and Matt searched and attacked Hand strongholds everywhere to hinder the Hand's excavation progress.

However, the Hand's assassins were not weak, and the two of them could not contend with these assassins.

As a result, they were often hunted by the Hand's assassins, and this request for help was no different.

Under his explanation, not only Norman but also Andy and his companions understood the reason for Daniel's request for help.

"So, for these reasons, you've been using Hunter's Bar as a refuge?"

Andy found it amusing that the reason Daniel was being hunted was so childish.

Although he didn't know what these so-called Dragon Bones actually were.

He had seen the Hand's assassins three years ago, and he originally thought those assassins were hired to steal Bragi's skeleton.

Now it seemed these assassins were sent by the Hand itself to seize the so-called Dragon Bones.

This made Andy see their similarities; after Bragi was killed.

The monster leader's death was exactly like that of the Hand's assassins.

They all turned into a pile of ashes and dissipated into the air.

However, what Andy hadn't expected was that New York would also possess so-called Dragon Bones.

And it seemed that once those Dragon Bones were excavated, they would cause immense destruction to New York.

Andy's question made him a little embarrassed, "Uh, no, these two times were accidents."

He really didn't intentionally attract those assassins; those were truly just accidents.

The first time they came near Hunter's Bar, he and Matt were chased there, and it really had nothing to do with them.

As for this time, it was because they had nowhere to hide with the injured Stick, so they could only choose this place for shelter.

The results proved their choice was correct; those assassins all stopped pursuing them as soon as they entered Hunter's Bar's vicinity.

Although they all looked like they wanted to attack, they all held back without crossing the line.

And they also entered Hunter's Bar, supporting Stick, under the assassins' watchful eyes.

After waiting for some time, those assassins all retreated and no longer waited.

Everyone in Hunter's Bar knew these things very clearly; they had all witnessed them firsthand.

Although after they came in, Stick had been constantly clashing with Hunter's Bar's patrons.

However, the patrons here were very straightforward; at least they wouldn't hide what they knew.

Especially regarding matters of the Hunter's Tavern, they would certainly not conceal anything.

Precisely because he knew this situation, Daniel spoke out the whole story without any reservations.
