That's too late, help them, okay?"
Held tightly in Ryan's arms, Gwen actually knew she had been a bit impulsive earlier, but her innate sense of justice made it impossible for her to stand by.
Their eyes met, and Gwen's sapphire-like eyes were filled with unbearable sorrow.
At the same time.
Within Ryan's spiritual perception range.
Two hundred meters away, a White man holding an ice cream was slowly approaching, completely unaware.
On the White man's body, there was a faint aura of battle-hardened ferocity that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
His vast memory bank quickly flashed with inspiration at this moment.
Immediately after, the name of a Marvel anti-hero appeared in Ryan's mind.
Punisher, Frank Castle, a famous anti-hero in Marvel.
A human weapon, decisive in killing, iron-blooded and ruthless.
So it was him.
So, this scene before them was actually the prelude to Frank's transformation into the Punisher?
These days, being a superhero really isn't that easy.
It's either sacrificing parents, uncles, and aunts, or sacrificing wives and children.
Meeting me is your luck, Frank.
Ryan thought to himself, then looked at Gwen's pleading gaze and said, "For you, Gwen."
"Promise me, just hide here, okay?"
After speaking, Ryan kissed Gwen on the forehead, then walked towards the scene of the incident.
Behind Ryan, Gwen looked at his back, her eyes already overflowing with watery emotion and affection, transforming into deep love.
In fact, the moment Ryan turned around, Gwen already felt some regret.
Those bad guys had guns in their hands!
But just as Gwen was about to reach out and pull Ryan back.
She saw Ryan, like a swift and deadly leopard, treading silently, slowly approaching from over ten meters away.
The wind suddenly rose, and a fierce tiger descended from the mountain.
Ryan, erupting, covered more than ten meters in two or three leaps, then subdued the two thugs who were far from the transaction site.
Dealing with two small-time gangsters was not difficult.
In fact, it could be said to be incredibly easy and carefree.
After all, even without using his Qi cultivation and Spell, Ryan's body, modified by the Nine Apertures Golden Core, was enough to rival half a Hulk.
"Take your child and go that way, don't look back."
After taking care of the two thugs who were far from the transaction site.
Ryan deftly picked up the two pistols from the ground, made a slight adjustment, and quickly directed the rescued woman and child towards Gwen's location.
"Sir, what about you?"
"Madam, I need to communicate with the bad guys over there, otherwise they won't agree to let us leave."
Watching Ryan skillfully load the pistol.
The woman said nothing more, gave Ryan a grateful look, and quickly ran off with her child.
At this moment, the thugs not far away had obviously also noticed the commotion here.
But just as those thugs were about to separate and rush over.
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots, like the God of Death calling names, instantly killed three people.
In an instant, the scene was in chaos.
Those thugs were initially terrified, and then began to retaliate wildly.
Ryan was not flustered by such a scene, and even seemed a little excited.
In the secluded park as night approached.
Ryan, like a cat playing with a mouse, began to hunt down those thugs.
And at this time, two hundred meters away.
Frank's brows furrowed the moment he heard the gunshots.
Immediately after, upon hearing the direction of the gunshots.
Frank immediately threw away the ice cream in his hand, climbed over a wall, and rushed towards the center of the park.
Chapter 4: An Opportunity to Recruit the Punisher
In less than two minutes, Ryan completely crushed those thugs in an unpredictable manner.
Moving like a galloping horse, agile like a civet cat.
Every bullet found its mark, every shot was fatal.
When those thugs fled, more than a dozen of them, they quickly dispersed and disappeared.
Ryan himself was not a killer, so he naturally did not pursue them to the end.
However, with such an incident, the date was obviously ruined.
Upon returning to the corner of the park path.
Ryan just happened to see Frank, wild as a lion or tiger, trembling as he held his wife and daughter, clearly still terrified.
Ryan did not disturb them, but cleared his throat and winked at Gwen.
Gwen quickly let out a cheer and directly pounced into Ryan's arms.
"Ryan, the moment you turned around, I regretted it. It's a good thing nothing happened to you, otherwise…"
"Otherwise, Young Miss Gwen, you wouldn't have such a perfect boyfriend as me."
"Boyfriend? No, you haven't even confessed to me yet."
"Confess? If you didn't say anything, I would have forgotten. That was the main purpose of our date tonight, but unfortunately, something like this happened…"
Ryan said seriously.
Gwen blinked her long eyelashes and immediately leaned in for a kiss.
A long kiss.
Just as Ryan's hands began to become a little unruly, a slightly awkward cough quickly sounded nearby.
Ryan and Gwen then remembered that there seemed to be someone else nearby.
Having her first kiss witnessed, even in the relatively open Western environment, made Gwen a little shy.
And when Ryan turned his head to look, his expression unchanged.
Frank said with a slightly serious tone, "I'm sorry to interrupt your intimate moment. I'm Frank Castle, and thank you for saving my wife and daughter."
Ryan nodded at Frank, then smiled at the woman and child beside him.
Then, Ryan pulled out a business card and handed it to Frank.
"Just call me Ryan. Earlier, that was the Russian Mafia and the Cent Family trading powder, buddy. Your wife stumbled upon their deal, so you need to be careful."
"If possible, it's best to have your Family leave for a while to avoid trouble."
Ryan's impression of the Punisher was quite good.
He sought revenge for grievances, his methods were sharp and not pedantic, and while extremely ruthless, he still maintained a certain bottom line.
Now that they had crossed paths, Ryan didn't want to miss this opportunity to recruit him.
However, Ryan didn't appear too eager, but instead gave him a business card and reminded him, adding another favor.
Hearing Ryan's words, Frank was first stunned, then showed a hint of gratitude.
After retiring from the military, Frank had, to some extent, lost some of his vigilance.
Ryan's reminder made Frank realize his mistake.
The reputation of the Russian Mafia and the Cent Family was not good at all, and if someone stumbled upon their powder trade, they would naturally find a way to eliminate the eyewitnesses.
Frank couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be due to his mistake.
But just as Frank was about to thank him again.
Outside the park not far away, the sound of New York Police Department patrol cars could already be heard.
Immediately after, a flustered figure had already run into the park, and from a great distance, one could see the police uniform on his body.
"Gwen, are you alright?"
