Moreover, I received news that the Irish Mob and the Russian Mafia are both very dissatisfied with the Sullivan Family."
"Someone will probe the Sullivan Family's true strength for us; we just need to watch quietly."
Hill was still restless.
Nothing else, according to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence, the Skeleton Demon Frank used to eradicate the Cent Family was extremely controllable and quite powerful.
Ghouls are also on file at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even fully equipped S.H.I.E.L.D. agents need a full team to handle them.
However, the Skeleton Demon Frank brought could easily annihilate dozens of Ghouls.
If they could obtain the Skeleton Demon and its control methods, it would undoubtedly greatly increase S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power.
Looking at Hill's expression,
Nick Fury, with a confident look, smiled and said, "Agent Hill, the Underground World has its reason for existing, and it even has intricate connections with the Dark Underworld."
"We cannot be too hasty or too pushy when dealing with these forces."
"Agent Barton sent word that Black Widow, the Red Room's ace, has pledged allegiance to us."
"This is a good opportunity to test the mettle of this ace Black Widow."
"Raine Sullivan is just a second-generation mobster; he's nothing to worry about."
At the same time,
New York, Hell's Kitchen, Fisk Tower penthouse office.
Kingpin's massive body was sunken into the office chair.
Behind him, a square-faced African-American man with albinism stood motionless.
Not far from him, a villain with a target drawn on his forehead was playing with a tennis ball.
In a corner of the room, on the ceiling, a man in a scorpion combat suit seemed to be in slumber.
Meanwhile, an aristocratic young man, looking like an elite executive, was constantly reporting something to Kingpin.
After the aristocratic young man finished his report,
Kingpin emotionlessly picked up his cane and said, "Don't worry about the Cent Family being wiped out; that's the Sullivan Family's right."
"But tell the Irish Mob that not a single cent of the two hundred million payment owed to me can be missing."
"As for whether there will be a conflict between the Irish Mob and the Sullivan Family, that's not our concern."
"The Irish Mob can stir up trouble, but they must keep those Vampire bats in check."
"Also, Mr. Max, my patience is limited. The matter of the particle accelerator device cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise…"
"No one takes my money without doing the work!"
"The matter of accessing parallel Worlds cannot remain on paper; I want you to start human experiments as soon as possible."
"Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices!"
Chapter 22: The Irish Mob's Vampires Plot Against Kingpin
Neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor Kingpin took the Sullivan Family, where Raine was, seriously.
Even the complete annihilation of the Cent Family only garnered a brief moment of attention.
Of course, for Raine, whether S.H.I.E.L.D. and Kingpin underestimated him was not important.
After the cultivation of the Five Elements Spiritual Insect at Osborn Group got on track,
Raine no longer stayed at Osborn Group.
In half a month, Raine used the equipment in Osborn Group's reptile laboratory to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Insect, and also reviewed Professor Connors' research data.
It must be said that his research had reached a very profound level.
Combined with the decay formula Frank obtained from the abandoned station,
Both the Spider Serum and the Lizard Serum had extremely vast prospects.
However, in terms of adaptability, both serums required genetic debugging.
Examples like Gwen, who became a perfect Spider-Man after a single bite, are almost one in a billion.
Normally, to create a genetic warrior, one needs to go through screening, genetic debugging, insect cultivation, serum manufacturing, and finally, injection trials.
Even so, it could at most guarantee a 70-80% success rate.
Each test subject and each serum would cost millions.
For Raine, this type of serum was dispensable, like a chicken rib.
But if it were used to build up his subordinates, it would be enough to quickly create an incredibly powerful team.
However, making serum was an extremely tedious process.
Raine was not prepared to waste his time on such matters.
Inside an extremely luxurious car,
Raine glanced at Frank, who was acting as the driver, and said, "Frank, I haven't seen much of you lately. Has the action team been assembled?"
Frank didn't turn his head and said, "Boss, the action team is ready to go at any time. Would you like to review them?"
Raine nodded and said, "No need. If you think they're good, then they're good. Now, let's go visit Professor Connors. He's a very good talent, worth my personal visit."
Frank hesitated a little and said, "Uh, Boss, should we wait a while before going? It's not very safe lately."
Frank's slightly hesitant words and attitude surprised Raine.
As a prime example of the highest human single-combat power, Frank had pride within him.
After joining Raine's command, he had always acted very decisively.
Especially in recent missions, Frank had never shown any signs of shrinking back or hesitation.
Now, for Frank's attitude to change, it aroused Raine's curiosity.
After a brief moment of contemplation,
Raine spoke, "Frank, tell me what's been happening lately?"
Frank didn't hesitate and replied, "Boss, it's the Irish Mob and the Russian Mafia."
Raine remained silent, but his aura changed.
Frank was under immense pressure and continued, "Recently, the Irish Mob has enlisted some monsters from the Dark Underworld, like the legendary Vampires, causing quite a disturbance to our businesses."
"And the Russian Mafia, reportedly persuaded by the Irish Mob, has brought out the Night Devil, a highly renowned figure in the assassin World…"
Raine raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "For that two hundred million worth of goods?"
Frank looked a bit stiff and said, "No, it's for the thirteen seats in the New York Underground World."
The Irish Mob are Kingpin's dogs, and they have developed very quickly in the past two years, wanting to eliminate Raine and replace the Sullivan Family to become one of the rule-makers of the New York Underground World. This is very normal.
However, after a moment of stunned, Raine started to laugh.
"These barbarians actually thought of the same thing as me. Can't you handle those Vampires?"
"With the White Bone Bead granted by Boss, defense is not difficult, but those Vampires are extremely good at concealment and there are quite a few of them, and the Night Devil sent by the Russian Mafia is very troublesome…"
"No matter. Tonight, you'll come with me to the Irish Mob. For now, let's go visit Professor Connors."
"Understood, Boss."
After receiving Raine's answer, Frank quickly fell silent, perfectly fulfilling his duty as a driver.
At this moment, Raine began to ponder the upcoming situation.
Vampires were not something Raine took seriously.
Having been in this World for over two years, Raine also knew about those so-called Vampires.
In a sense, Vampires can be considered a type of long-lived supernatural creature, especially in terms of speed and recovery, far exceeding ordinary people.
However, these creatures have too many weaknesses: they fear light, silver, and even garlic.
Even ordinary people, if well-prepared, can inflict great damage on common Vampires.
Therefore, in human society, those Vampires don't hold much sway.
Especially since the Vampires' stronghold has always been in Europe.
While America's Vampires have also developed for a long time, mimicking the thirteen Bloodline clans, their Bloodline is impure, and they are not considered direct descendants of the Dark Council, thus not highly regarded.
Neither the Irish Mob nor the Vampires were on Raine's mind.
What truly made Raine a tiny bit wary was Kingpin, the power behind the Irish Mob.
No, to be precise, it was the intricate web of interests behind Kingpin.
In a capitalist World like New York and America, neither the political arena nor the Gangs are as simple as they seem; they are often inextricably linked with capital.
As far as Raine knew,
Kingpin had interests tied to the New York State Governor, the Gun Association, and the U.S. Navy.
