The Immortal in Marvel

Chapter 26: 26 - Harold Howard

On the other side.

After confirming that there were no other ambushes or pursuers, Derrick parked the motorcycle in a secluded corner.

He let out a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart and slow down his breathing. Time seemed to return to its normal pace, and his body temperature gradually decreased.

However, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of fatigue, and his legs gave out, causing him to collapse to the ground. The powerful ability of bullet time, which had made him invincible, was not without its own set of side effects.

If it was only used for a short duration, it would not be dangerous but if Derrick wanted to maintain the bullet time for a long time, his body must bear a super-intensive load.

If he was a normal person with a slightly weaker physique, it would either be heart failure or cerebral congestion.

For Derrick, who maintained the bullet time for several minutes, his body organs had already been overwhelmed, so after the bullet time was released and the excitement of adrenaline was removed, the feeling of death came flooding up.

It's just that, while the body's organs were failing, a wave of heat was also quickly repairing the damage to Derrick's organs.

Seeing Derrick collapse suddenly, Frank dragged his injured body and hurriedly checked him.

Finding that Derrick had just passed out, he carried Derrick onto his shoulder with his uninjured arm and quickly left the scene.

Two hours later, in a hut in some remote area.

Frank had applied some aids and operated on his wound skillfully.

After putting on his clothes, Frank walked out of the hall and looked at Derrick, who was holding a Gatling and making strange noises. Seeing his lively appearance once again, Frank didn't feel too weak.

Frank came to Derrick in a few steps and said, "This is not a toy for you. Put it down!"

"Don't be so stingy. I'm your saviour, old man." Derrick said but looking at Frank, he reluctantly let go of Gatling.

Frank's safe house was the best, with all kinds of firearms and weapons, even heavy-fire weapons such as Gatling and bazooka in stock, it was simply a small arsenal.

Derrick, who now had the talent of a super high school sharpshooter, could easily distinguish various types of firearms and configurations. He could see that Frank's weapons have been carefully modified, including the Browning automatic pistol.

However, Derrick had a strong feeling that he also would be able to modify firearms. He couldn't wait to find a gun to try it once.

Hearing Derrick's words, Frank twitched, "Whose fault do you think this all was?"

If Derrick hadn't implicated him, he would've escaped in peace.

Derrick looked at Frank, the tough guy who was shot but still full of energy, he then said with some doubt, "Well, why don't you tell me the truth, then. Have you participated in transformation experiments before, such as the super soldier project or something?"

"That's Captain America, not me." Frank was sullen. Captain America was no secret to the world. There was also the Captain America Museum in New York, which contained all the records of Captain America's deeds, as well as his brotherly love and hatred for Bucky.

"Then it doesn't make sense," Derrick muttered softly. To him, Frank's physique seemed a bit inhuman.

Frank didn't bother with these boring topics and said in a deep voice, "I'll tell you one thing, we are in big trouble. The Russian Ross gang is looking for our whereabouts everywhere and has issued a high reward for us in the underworld. It seems that they don't want to let us go like this."

Derrick was taken aback, "Is it because I messed up their deal?"

"No, it's because you killed the leader, Vladimir's younger brother Anatoly."

"Ah...I see" Derrick was very surprised. He thought about it carefully.

Could it be that the Russian man who was acting as their leader during the deal was Anatoly?

'No wonder the group of gangsters pursued us so persistently.'

However, Frank continued, "It's not over yet, there is another wave of people who also issued a bounty to us. The bounty is not as big as the Russian Ross gang's, but it is enough to attract the attention of many people."

"Who even are they?"

"They were the trading partners of the Russian Ross gang. The person in charge was called Kaqi, who is a well-known leader of a drug dealer organization. But as far as I know, Kaqi recently found a backer, and now he is working for Harold Howard." (E/N: I hope it's the correct alias.)

'Wait...there's Kingpin here?' Derrick was a little confused when he heard his name.

Harold Howard, the alias used by Kingpin, Marvel's famous villain.

He was the biggest leader of New York's underground forces, in terms of both strength and influence, Kingpin was an equivalent of Mount Tai.

The commission that Derrick accepted was to disrupt an illegal transaction of a group of gangsters.

But the problem was that the information provided only showed that the Russian Ross gang and a drug dealer organization were involved in this transaction, but the people in charge of this transaction were not mentioned.

How would have Derrick known that one party was the relative of the leader of the Russian Ross gang and the other was Kingpin's subordinate?

Now, due to a lack of information, he had to face the bounty offered by Kingpin and the Russian Ross gang at the same time.
