Russell smoothly obtained the answers he wanted.
After he, full of curiosity and using completely unqualified surgical techniques, conducted several rounds of scientific academic research on the trio of Hand members, they told him everything he wanted to know.
He had originally planned to subject the trio of Hand members to the so-called prisoner's dilemma to get the answers he wanted.
But after arriving at the safe house, he changed his mind.
Anyway, with the Venom symbiote, no matter what he did to the trio of Hand members, they wouldn't die.
Since that was the case, there was no need to use the prisoner's dilemma.
Although the trio of Hand members were old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, possessing lifespans and physiques far exceeding normal people, they would still feel pain when they were supposed to.
Moreover, compared to physical pain, what they found even more unbearable was psychological trauma.
Russell, holding a scalpel, was like a perverted serial killer in their eyes.
No!
Not a perverted serial killer!
Just a pervert!
If they met a perverted serial killer, at most they would just die once.
If they were a little tougher, they could just grit their teeth, close their eyes, and it would be over.
But Russell was different.
Relying on the Venom symbiote, he made the trio of Hand members jump back and forth between life and death, continuously prolonging their painful experience.
Death was not the most terrifying thing.
It was wanting to die but being unable to that was.
Not to mention, during this process of wanting to die but being unable to, they also had to experience various inhumane and extreme forms of suffering.
After getting the answers he wanted from the trio of Hand members, Russell first went to the bathroom, washed the bloodstains off his hands and face, and changed out of his blood-soaked clothes.
Only then did he leave the safe house with the trio of Hand members, who had no physical injuries but whose spirits were completely broken.
He then went to the trio of Hand members' residence to find the dragon bones they had hidden.
After confirming that the quantity of dragon bones was exactly as they had described, he ended the lives of the trio of Hand members and called in a cleanup crew to dispose of their bodies.
Fisk Tower.
Top floor office.
"These are the dragon bones you wanted. I've already taken the other half."
Russell placed the black briefcase in front of Kingpin and said slowly.
Kingpin took the briefcase and opened it for a look.
There weren't many dragon bones inside the briefcase, only about half a case.
Although the quantity was less than he had expected, Kingpin didn't say anything. He closed the briefcase and picked up the phone on the table.
After a dozen seconds, Kingpin hung up the phone and said to Russell, "The payment has been transferred to your hotel account."
"Okay!"
Russell took out his phone, logged into his account, and checked the balance.
Over one hundred fifty million US dollars!
One hundred million dollars was the payment for this operation, and fifty million dollars was Kingpin's gratitude for him killing Daredevil.
The extra change was the operational fund he kept at the hotel.
After confirming that Kingpin had transferred the payment, Russell didn't immediately leave Kingpin's office. Instead, he walked over to the liquor cabinet.
"You don't mind if I have a few drinks, do you?" Russell turned and said to Kingpin.
"Not at all!"
Seeing Russell take out a bottle of whiskey and a glass from the liquor cabinet, a hint of confusion appeared on Kingpin's face.
Logically, the commission was complete, and the transaction between him and Russell was over.
But the current Russell didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Russell ignored the confusion on Kingpin's face, went to the sofa, sat down, and poured himself a drink.
Kingpin's commission was indeed completed, but he still had some personal matters to attend to.
Time passed bit by bit.
Kingpin sat behind his desk, waiting for Bullseye and Mister Negative to arrive.
Russell sat on the office sofa, pouring and drinking by himself.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for Mister Negative!
If Kingpin hadn't involved Mister Negative, Martin Li, in the operation, he wouldn't have gone looking for trouble with Mister Negative anytime soon.
Although he had the idea of evolving Venom into a serum, he wasn't in a hurry.
However, since he had met Mister Negative tonight, he didn't mind dealing with this matter in advance.
While waiting for Mister Negative to arrive, he sorted through the various pieces of information he had obtained from the trio of Hand members tonight.
First, he roughly figured out the location of K'un-L'un in this world.
According to the trio of Hand members, the entrance to K'un-L'un was near the Kunlun Mountains, but K'un-L'un itself was not on Earth, but in a pocket dimension located on Kunlun Mountain.
This roughly matched the information about K'un-L'un in his memory.
Although the trio of Hand members had lived and studied in K'un-L'un, they were not clear about its origins.
But that didn't matter, Russell knew the origin of K'un-L'un himself.
Just like the Asgardians were aliens, the people of K'un-L'un were also aliens.
A long, long time ago, a group of humanoid aliens, the K'un-L'un people, landed on Earth in a spaceship.
During the landing process, the spaceship tore through space, creating a pocket dimension.
The K'un-L'un people used this pocket dimension as their secluded home, building seven "Heavenly Cities" within it, and having each city venerate a divine beast as its guardian and energy source.
K'un-L'un was one of the seven Heavenly Cities, and it was also the foremost among them.
The guardian of K'un-L'un was the great dragon Shou-Lao the Undying. By defeating Shou-Lao, one could gain Shou-Lao's dragon power and become the "Immortal Weapon" of K'un-L'un, the Iron Fist.
Danny Rand, whom he had shot full of holes with a Gatling gun, was the 66th Iron Fist.
Getting back to K'un-L'un, its current leader was called Yu-Ti.
Yu-Ti was not only the leader of K'un-L'un but also the Grand Elder of the Council of the Seven Heavenly Cities.
Because the guardian of K'un-L'un was Shou-Lao, K'un-L'un was also called the City of Dragons.
Besides K'un-L'un, the City of Dragons, there were six other Heavenly Cities: Peng Lai Island, City of the Tortoise; K'un-Zi, City of the Crane; Tiger Island, City of the Tiger; Spider Kingdom, City of the Spider; Z'Gambo, City of the Monkey; and Underrealm, City of the Dog. (Note 1)
Each Heavenly City had its own Immortal Weapon, who was a warrior recognized by the guardian divine beast.
For example, the Immortal Weapon of K'un-L'un was the Iron Fist.
The other six Immortal Weapons were the Bride of the Nine Spiders from Spider Kingdom, the Champion of the Crane from K'un-Zi, the Dog Brother #1 from Underrealm, the Prince of Orphans from Z'Gambo, the Tiger's Beautiful Daughter from Tiger Island, and the Fat Cobra from Peng Lai Island.
Outside these seven Heavenly Cities, there was also the legendary eighth city, "Eighth City of the Hot Hell".
The Eighth City of the Hot Hell was the eighth city created by the K'un-L'un people and the Xian in a hell dimension, specifically for exiling evil. Only by gathering the chi of the seven Immortal Weapons could the passage to the Eighth City of the Hot Hell be opened.
Although the Hand members had lived in K'un-L'un for many years, they had never been to the other six Heavenly Cities, nor had they ever met the other six Immortal Weapons.
As for Iron Fist Danny Rand, they had seen him but couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this weakest Iron Fist in history.
PS: Note 1: The City of the Monkey is called Z'Gambo. The translator couldn't find a Chinese translation, so it was casually translated as Zeyang...
