Chapter 1196 - The Hand, Kunlun, and Black Sky
Chapter 1196: The Hand, Kunlun, and Black Sky
The thought flashed through Luke’s mind before he put it aside.
Elektra wasn’t restrained at all. She was even armed.
Was she tailing Alexandra? That didn’t seem to be the case.
She had gotten out of Alexandra’s car, and Alexandra had inadvertently been paying attention to Elektra’s location. She clearly knew that someone was there.
From their postures, Elektra looked more like Alexandra’s bodyguard.
Thinking that, Luke quietly landed and entered the Chinese restaurant through the back door.
A fight didn’t break out right away.
Alexandra stood leisurely in front of them as she said something.
Matt, Danny, a tall black man and a blind old man were standing around as they listened to her.
The tall black man had shown up at Midland Circle with Danny a few days ago and took part in the fight.
Luke knew who the man was. His name was Luke Cage.
When Luke and Jessica had been chatting on the fire escape, Jessica had been monitoring the black man.
At that time, Luke Cage had been having sex with a hot girl in the building opposite, and Luke had mocked Jessica for being the paparazzi.
Now that he thought about it, Jessica had probably shown up not because she had picked up Cage’s case.
Luke pondered as he stood at the mouth of the corridor which led to the kitchen in the back. He wasn’t in a hurry to take action, and simply let Alexandra blather on.
Most of the time, letting the other party take the initiative to reveal information was the simplest way.
Alexandra’s goal was clear. She wasn’t here to negotiate, but to take Danny away.
Luke was a little surprised.
Although Danny had clashed with the Hand recently, Matt was the one who had been the constant thorn in their side, yet the woman was only interested in Danny.
Judging from her attitude, she wasn’t here for revenge at all: It was more like a real estate company trying to persuade the residents to move out.
What was so special about Danny Rand that Alexandra paid so much attention to him?
Rand Corporation wasn’t on par with an old monster like the Hand, and the Hand wasn’t short of money.
In the conversation between Danny and Alexandra, Luke heard a name: Kunlun.
His heart jumped.
He was familiar with that word.
In his previous life, he had been very interested in wuxia novels, ranging from the Kunlun Sect of the martial arts circles to the Kunlun mountain where the Queen Mother of the West lived.
But after coming to this world, it was actually from the clone of Demon Lord Mephisto that he had heard the word “Kunlun.”
Back then, when Luke shouted “Big Dipper Devil-Subduing Fist” in Chinese but actually used Elementary Annihilation to defeat Mephisto’s clone, the other party had asked him if he was from the Holy Land of Kunlun.
Even though this bigshot insisted that he wouldn’t be afraid even if the Ancient One or Lei Kung showed up, Luke could tell that he was actually very afraid of these two.
Based on the word order of what Mephisto said that time, the Ancient One should be the leader of the Kamar-Taj or whatever, and Lei Kung should be a powerhouse of the Holy Land of Kunlun.
Thinking quickly, Luke frowned. Neither Danny nor Alexandra had that sort of strength.
Were they Kunlun minor disciples who had run away? For a moment, a certain detective recalled a Chinese fantasy novel setting that he had read in his previous life.
He felt that this hypothesis made sense.
If they had the time to talk big, it was very likely that they weren’t strong enough to use brute force yet. What a waste of a classy name like Kunlun.
The conversation didn’t last long, and the situation hit an impasse three minutes later.
Danny clearly wasn’t stupid enough to leave with Alexandra. He simply broke free of the hand she had on his shoulder, and Cage directly told the other party to beat it
The faint smile on Alexandra’s face disappeared, and she drew her hand back. “That’s too bad. I was going to settle this peacefully, but now… let’s do it.”
As he spoke, a black blade slashed at Cage’s neck from behind.
As if he had seen it coming, Matt suddenly shot out his rod and hit the air behind Cage.
With a dull thud, a shadow took two steps back and covered her ribs.
It was Elektra, Matt’s ex-girlfriend.
Cage reacted quickly and swung his fist.
Elektra’s black katana met his arm.
Clang!
With the crisp sound of metal colliding, the black katana was knocked aside. Cage pulled his hand back with a pained expression, and his face turned even darker when he saw the shallow wound.
It wasn’t just him; Matt and the blind old man also had ugly expressions on their faces.
The blind old man couldn’t help but remark, “That’s too bad. She’s actually already…”
Alexandra sneered. “Give up. You’re not her match.”
Matt and the blind old man didn’t move. Their expressions changed; who knew what they were thinking.
Danny wasn’t one to admit defeat. He roared and charged forward.
Slash!
Elektra slashed twice with her black katana, and Danny retreated in a sorry state. His clothes were already ripped and stained with blood.
The blind old man sighed. “You finally resurrected her?”
Alexandra chuckled. “That’s right. You should know how powerful Black Sky is. It’s pointless to put up a fight. Let Danny come with me, and I’ll let you live. After all, we’ve known each other for so long. It’s not like I have to kill you.”
The blind old man sneered. “That’s right. I’m the last member of the Chaste, and I have a crippled arm. It doesn’t matter when you kill me, right?”
Alexandra snorted disdainfully. “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Your Chaste is made up of idiots! We don’t want to waste resources on you at all. Look at how many of you are left. You played yourself to death, you fools.”
The blind old man still sneered but didn’t say anything else. He simply rubbed the sword at his waist.
On the other side, Cage and Danny ganged up on Elektra, but were held at bay by that mysterious black katana.
Suddenly, Luke heard the rumble of an engine, and the bright headlights of a car shone through the windows.
The next moment, a car broke through the glass and charged in. Elektra’s back was to the entrance after she lashed out twice with her blade and forced Danny and Cage back again.
The front of the car hit her, and she was sent flying forward to land face-first in a plate of Mapo tofu that was on the floor.
However, Cage and Danny didn’t take advantage of the moment, but subconsciously moved away.
They weren’t crazy; of course they wouldn’t wait for the car to crash into them.
The car door opened and Jessica got out.
