After seeing Elektra being so sensible, Heisenberg nodded in approval, then waved for her to get up and wait to the side.
As Elektra rose, Heisenberg walked over to the fainted young nurse and helped the poor woman back onto her feet.
He patted her cheek. The nurse slowly came to, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a close-up of Heisenberg's face. She panicked for a moment.
But after the panic passed, her face turned red.
Some things become clearer the instant fear fades. With the leftover rush from being scared, the nurse even felt a strange kind of stimulation, to the point she felt a little damp.
Unfortunately, Heisenberg let go of her almost immediately.
"I broke your window and scared you into fainting. I'll compensate for it."
"Also, I'll donate 50,00050,000 dollars to the hospital, because the staff standing in the hallway were very careful."
"They didn't ignore the sound of breaking glass, and after they understood what was happening, they didn't come in to disturb me."
As he spoke, Heisenberg patted Bullseye, who was slumped against the bed.
"Get your people to make what I said happen, OK?"
"Of course!" Bullseye answered at once.
Then Heisenberg glanced at the nurse and smiled. "I've got something I want to ask you."
The moment he said that, the nurse visibly tensed up.
It was hard to tell whether the tension came from fear or some kind of impulse. She held a very serious posture and answered in her most solemn tone.
"You may ask. I will answer anything I'm able to answer."
Seeing her so nervous, Heisenberg burst out laughing.
He laughed for a while before speaking again.
"Alright. Don't be afraid. I don't eat people."
"I just want to ask about their injuries."
"Hah…" The nurse let out a breath, sounding almost regretful.
In that instant, she had actually imagined some things she really shouldn't.
Like Heisenberg asking for her contact info, asking if she was free tonight, asking if she had a lover, asking whether she minded starting a family with a gang boss…
But regret aside, she didn't lose the basic professionalism of medical staff.
"Please rest assured. Mr. Bullseye's… left buttock treatment plan is similar to managing a pressure sore. I've handled many similar injuries."
"As for Mr. Matthew Murdock, his fractures are complicated. He's already been stabilized with emergency fixation. Follow-up corrective bone surgeries will all be completed within two days."
"Mhm. One is my best subordinate, and the other is… you can consider him my guest." Heisenberg nodded. "Please take extra care."
"Let me ask something a bit rude. Do you have any expectations for your life lately? I can help fulfill them. A refrigerator, a phone, or a chance to pursue further training?"
"No, no, you're too polite." The nurse shook her head quickly. "If it's really possible, could you give me an autograph?"
The nurse was truly smart. Her answer made Heisenberg very satisfied.
So Heisenberg immediately signed for her, left a blessing, and even after she left the ward, he told Bullseye to prepare a suitable gift for her.
And Elektra, through this contact, slowly began to understand her new Boss.
In Elektra's eyes, Heisenberg's oppressive power was no longer frightening, because he had a heart that was closer to society than Kingpin's.
After finishing the hospital matters, Heisenberg returned to the nightclub at his leisure.
Jessica was still drinking, but what she was drinking now wasn't champagne. It was whiskey, neat.
Fair enough. Champagne couldn't satisfy a real alcoholic.
When Heisenberg came back, Jessica swept him with a pair of drunken eyes.
"You're done."
"I'm done." Heisenberg sat down, rubbed Jessica's delicate cheeks, and smiled as he added, "Purple Man will be delivered into your hands within three days. I hope you're ready."
Bang!!!
Jessica slammed both palms onto the table. The table, replaced less than a week ago, snapped into two.
Heisenberg didn't get angry. He understood Jessica's excitement.
After smashing the table, Jessica shouted at Heisenberg with a face full of tension.
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure."
"It's that Purple Man?!!"
"Yes."
"He's mine!!!"
"He's yours."
"Why?" Jessica's voice jumped. "I mean why are you doing this? Is my pussy studded with diamonds or what?!"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Heisenberg laughed so hard he nearly stopped breathing. It took him a long time to finally rein it in, then he pinched Jessica's ear.
"Stop it. Your value isn't something Purple Man can compare to." He leaned in. "I've got a plan lately. Do you want to consider joining it?"
"So you're killing Purple Man just to get me to join some plan? He's not some ordinary guy!"
"But to me, he really is ordinary."
Seeing Jessica panic and keep arguing back, Heisenberg finally got a bit angry.
He put away his smile and patted Jessica's shoulder seriously.
"Let me ask you. Are you willing to give everything to kill Purple Man?"
"I'm fucking willing." Jessica snapped. "I'd even dress myself up like an inflatable doll and let you screw me until you're satisfied, buddy!"
"Then good." Heisenberg shrugged at her. "From now on, you can call me Boss."
"I took over a lot of Kingpin's territory and men, but I have to admit, he had his own charm."
"Most of the guys who were close to Kingpin and sit high in the gang system, they don't submit to me."
"So right now I'm lacking people who can really do things. Real elites who are strong enough, experienced, can lead a team, can operate solo."
"So you, a former superhero, want to try joining a gang?"
"Whatever." Jessica answered bluntly. "As long as you keep your promise, I'm yours, all of me."
And that really was her decision.
To climb out of one swamp by jumping into another doesn't sound like a good choice.
But what if one swamp is 800800 meters deep and the other is only 1.51.5?
Jessica knew what to choose.
So, carrying the alcohol Heisenberg gave her, she hurried back to her detective agency.
After packing up her things, she moved into the nightclub cleanly.
Of course, she didn't move into the villa directly. She moved into the floor below the nightclub, into the suite Heisenberg arranged for her.
From today on, Jessica officially became the chief enforcer of the Nuke Gang.
As for what the Nuke Gang was…
That was the nickname other gangs gave to Heisenberg's gang.
After all, that was Heisenberg, the nuclear reaction genius who almost developed nuclear weapons and helped Germany unify the world.
Even now, many people around the world believed Heisenberg deliberately miscalculated the data for building a nuclear bomb so that the weapon couldn't spread through the world.
Too bad the weapon still blossomed in Einstein's hands.
But Heisenberg back then was still seen by many modern peace lovers as a role model.
…
On one side, Heisenberg's recruitment was moving at full speed.
On the other side, Nick Fury was also working on integrating his own team.
After going into seclusion for three days, Iron Man successfully solved his palladium poisoning. The moment he came back out, Nick forcibly invited him to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony followed Nick Fury into the meeting room and immediately saw a powerful lineup.
He looked around, then greeted them with a flippant tone.
"Wooow, let me see who we've got here."
"An old man over a hundred who got forgotten by the era."
"A radiology PhD who can barely hide his inner rage and also has a lower IQ than me."
"One of my former former former secretaries, including a sexy goddess with hair full of temptation."
"And one… one guy I've never met, but his face is so sour he looks like some bottle-shooting bow lover from a circus?"
He judged them shamelessly, to the point the others' anger was almost visible.
But Tony didn't back down. He made it worse, turning to Nick Fury.
"That Avengers plan you mentioned, I suddenly don't feel like joining anymore."
"Look at this lineup. Who exactly are we supposed to avenge? Hitler who's been dead for sixty or seventy years, my former secretary's period, or this archer's Olympic rivals?"
As he said that, he pointed at Banner, who was trying hard to endure, and continued.
"The only thing you did right is recruiting Dr. Banner."
"With him here, we probably won't pick the wrong target to avenge, because the target is most likely him!"
"Tony!" Nick cut him off sharply, but Tony only sneered.
"The funniest part is you, Nick Fury. Why should we work for someone who hides everything all the time?"
"I propose the Avengers vote internally for a leader, and I'll run in that election. That's the most reasonable answer, right?"
"Tony, stop messing around," Captain America stepped up. "Sit down and talk properly. It's our first meeting."
Tony clicked his tongue in annoyance.
But considering Captain America's identity, and his father's relationship with him…
Tony shook his head and finally sat down.
Everyone barely settled into position. Nick Fury stood in front of them, about to speak.
Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, a knock interrupted him.
No, not a knock on the door. A knock on the window.
Everyone looked over at once, only to see a handsome Western guy in pajamas floating outside the window.
Heisenberg knocked politely on the glass while releasing his heat vision.
He controlled it carefully, melting only the window in front of him, then casually walked into the meeting room.
"Damn it, how are you here?" Tony blurted, face full of shock. "This is Washington!!!"
Tony was genuinely a little panicked now.
Because this meeting was literally about discussing ways to deal with someone.
With Heisenberg showing up, did that mean he'd discovered it, gotten angry, and was here to kill everyone?
No, clearly not.
Heisenberg nodded at everyone and smiled.
"Nick, I went to your New York branch. They said you were here, so I came over. That's all."
"But why didn't my people tell me?!" Nick frowned, confused.
And right then, his phone rang.
Hearing the ringtone, Nick seemed to guess something, and his expression gradually turned terrified.
He picked up the call, and Agent Hill's anxious voice immediately came through.
"Director, Heisenberg just came to the branch and asked me where you were. He probably has something he wants from you!"
"…Mm, I know." Nick's face looked like a corpse. "He's already here."
