After toying with the harpoon in his hand for a while, Andy looked at the two who were torturing the thugs.
The two of them were imitating Frank, but it was clear their imitation was rather clumsy.
After all, under their torture, the thugs, while somewhat fearful, were mostly filled with resentment towards the two.
It was nothing like Frank, who, even by displaying everything in his suitcase to everyone, would still leave others shocked and terrified.
Shang-Chi and their methods were very immature; although they tortured the thugs to a terrible state.
But it didn't scare many people; it seemed they still had a lot to learn.
Returning the harpoon to Dr. Ethan, this military knife was just a collectible for him.
His weapons were much more powerful than this military knife; if he wanted a dagger or similar weapon, Andy could easily make it himself.
A while later, the two who had been torturing the thugs returned.
Shang-Chi, carrying disinfectant, walked back to the storage room; that stuff didn't smell good, so it was best to deal with it as soon as possible.
Hector, on the other hand, walked directly towards Andy; this was the blood Andy had requested, and he had collected it all.
Looking at the thugs, who were pale after being tortured by the two, but still full of hatred.
Dr. Ethan shook his head slightly; those two still had a lot to learn.
If they truly wanted to have a cool demeanor like Frank, they still had many things to learn.
The small bucket containing cotton balls soaked in blood was placed in front of Andy by Hector.
"Mr. Andy, this is what you wanted. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work."
Although he tried his best to maintain a flat tone, anyone could tell he was very excited.
They were still young after all, and a little liveliness was understandable.
After all, they had just been imitating Frank in their minds; it seemed that in their minds, Frank was just as they had seen him.
"Alright, thank you."
After receiving Andy's thanks, Hector walked excitedly towards Shang-Chi and the others.
He had to show off; opportunities like publicly torturing an opponent like a cold-blooded killer were rare.
Looking at the two arguing, Dr. Ethan shook his head; these people were indeed too idle.
The thugs outside didn't lie on the ground for long; they were soon rounded up by Kingpin's subordinates who appeared there.
This was where the Hyena Gang members were most concentrated, and it was their presence here that had enraged Kingpin.
Kingpin's subordinates clearly knew these men's capabilities, so they simply didn't bother with careful handling.
Grabbing one leg each, they tossed these thugs into their pickup trucks like sandbags.
After the thugs lying on the ground outside were taken away, the atmosphere in Hunter's Bar immediately brightened.
The guests in Hunter's Bar also returned to their usual state, happily chatting about what they had seen and heard at their tables.
Andy and Dr. Ethan, meanwhile, re-entered the laboratory; they needed to investigate why these thugs possessed superhuman recovery and defense capabilities.
Andy took out a cotton ball soaked in blood, picked out a bit of cotton fiber, and the two opened the electron microscope to begin their research.
Under the electron microscope, the bloodstains on the cotton fiber were illuminated.
Many parts of it were identical to normal human blood, but some areas were different.
There were some strange traces present, spreading like common viruses.
However, the virus didn't appear to be naturally formed; instead, it looked more like it was man-made.
Magnifying the viruses, their metallic outer shell further confirmed to the two that this was a product of Orokin Technology.
But if these viruses were man-made, then they needed to seriously consider the implications.
After all, the technological content within was indeed very high, and with such powerful research and development, why would they apply their creation to this group of thugs?
Both were a bit puzzled; this technological virus had very strong effects, and using it on thugs seemed a bit wasteful.
Just as the two were puzzled, Stark and Norman also walked into the laboratory.
Andy and Dr. Ethan had indeed been in the laboratory for a bit long, and they were curious about what the two were researching.
"What are you researching? Let me see too."
Stark showed great curiosity about their mysterious research.
"This is blood I had Hector collect from those thugs; Ethan and I found a technological virus in these blood samples."
Looking at the two who were surprised by his words, Andy nodded confirmingly and said.
"You heard me right, I said it's a technological virus, a special man-made virus."
Saying that, he showed the virus's detection data to the two, letting them analyze these viruses as well.
Looking at the detection data on the monitor, Stark frowned slightly.
He seemed to have seen this virus somewhere before, but it had been a long time, and he had long forgotten these things.
He thought for a long time but couldn't remember where he had seen this virus.
So he simply gave up; if it were truly important, he wouldn't forget it.
Perhaps when this virus appeared, he had only heard about it.
The two looked for a long time but didn't find anything different.
However, Stark did find some technological flaws in the virus; these virus flaws were not difficult problems for him.
He could even solve this flaw without the aid of extensive equipment.
Picking up a pen and paper from the lab bench, Stark began calculations.
During the calculation process, Stark wrote more and more smoothly.
Although he didn't know why, he seemed to understand the virus's mechanism of action very clearly.
The virus gradually took shape in his hands, and its structure and overall design were written down by him.
"This is? How do you know so much? Could it be your work?"
Seeing the virus concept drawing in Stark's hand, Andy asked with a puzzled expression.
Seeing Stark complete the design of this virus so smoothly, Andy felt that this virus must have a deep connection with Stark.
Otherwise, a person who had only seen the virus's detection data, no matter how much of a genius, could not easily replicate this virus.
"I'm not quite sure either; Stark Industries hasn't developed this technology, so it's not a product of mine."
Stark also found it strange why he was so familiar with this virus, as if he had designed it once before.
Over the years, his discarded designs were highly sought after, just for inspiration to keep up with Stark Industries.
Perhaps this virus was also like that, only Stark didn't remember ever designing a virus-related product.
Let alone this technological virus they had never seen before; he also didn't know how the person who bought his discarded designs at a high price managed to create such a technological virus from a pile of weapon designs.
Looking at the equally puzzled Stark, Andy confirmed that he indeed had no product design for this virus.
Because Stark was proud; he disdained lying to conceal himself.
If this virus had originated from Stark Industries, then he should have some memory, or at least a certain understanding of it.
Since Stark had already replicated the design of this virus, they would take it back and study it slowly.
Perhaps they could find some different inspiration from this technological virus.
After backing up the virus design, Andy and the others left the laboratory again.
However, after they went out, they found the atmosphere in Hunter's Bar was a bit different.
The group looked towards Hunter's Bar's entrance; a cold man in a bulletproof vest stood at the doorway.
His indifferent expression constantly reminded those around him that it was best not to bother him.
Looking at this man in a bulletproof vest with a skull drawn on it, Andy had some guesses.
This man was Shang-Chi and their idol, the man who, with his superb dismemberment techniques, utterly broke the Vampire.
He glanced at Shang-Chi and Hector, who had been arguing earlier; now they were like fans, looking at Frank with fervent eyes.
Dr. Ethan smiled and waved at Frank; seeing the suitcase in his hand, Dr. Ethan knew what he was there for.
"Ha~ The main character we were talking about has arrived. Let me show you what a Vampire looks like in his hands."
After seeing Dr. Ethan, Frank dragged the suitcase in his hand and walked towards the group.
As he passed the tables full of guests, everyone held their breath.
This scene surprised Andy and the others; they could tell that Frank was just a slightly stronger ordinary person.
But the aura around him could make everyone feel fear.
This was not something that could be achieved casually; perhaps this man was once a ruthless killing machine on the battlefield.
After Frank came to Dr. Ethan's side, seeing Andy and the others, his cold eyes showed a slight flicker.
He opened his mouth slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Andy, I didn't expect to meet you here. Thank you for saving my life."
Hearing that it was a life-saving grace, Andy was confused.
He could confirm one thing: this was their first meeting.
"Uh, did I save you? I don't seem to remember."
Frank first shook his head, then nodded, smiling stiffly.
"You didn't save me, but you saved my wife and child, during that Riot a few years ago."
So that's it, Andy nodded in understanding.
That was a conspiracy by people from the Underworld against Kingpin; Vanessa and Richard were their targets.
And at that time, many innocent passersby were also seriously injured; it was Andy who ordered them all to be taken to Orokin Technology for treatment.
"I see. How are your family doing now?"
"They're doing quite well. Thanks to your treatment, their health is pretty good now."
Speaking of his family, Frank's stiff expression softened.
That Riot brought him, a retired veteran, back to the battlefield; he knew that only by taking up arms could he protect his family.
So, after understanding the cause and effect, Frank began to retaliate against those who had harmed his family with his actions.
That's why he had been active worldwide all these years, searching everywhere for those who had escaped Kingpin's grasp.
Those who had escaped Kingpin's clutches were all slowly killed by him in various ways.
At first, Kingpin was a bit puzzled; he didn't know who was eliminating all those stragglers, only thinking that people from other factions were framing him.
Soon after, a name, the Punisher, reached his ears.
It was said that the Punisher's appearance was to deal with all those who caused the Riot, one by one.
Understanding the other party's true objective, Kingpin also developed a certain unspoken understanding with Frank.
One would eliminate the main enemy forces, while the other would find and kill all those who had escaped from his hands.
With their cooperation, almost all the gangs involved in that Riot fell before them.
Although they might not necessarily become friends, as long as no accidents occurred, they would never become adversaries.
They both knew the other was a good teammate, a teammate who could complement them.
This is stuck, I don't know how to write it anymore...
Let me organize the outline again.
