×××××××××××××××
Kilgrave's throat was almost hoarse from shouting, yet Darian still hadn't come over.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if the other party was deaf or if he could resist his mind control like Matt.
But no matter which one it was, this guy was dead!
Ever since gaining the ability to control others, Kilgrave had always seen himself as a puppeteer manipulating all living beings, and he would never allow anyone to defy his words.
A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes as he coldly told Erica, "Kill this guy for me!"
Upon receiving the order, Erica unhesitatingly picked up her two sai and stepped towards Darian.
Facing the approaching Erica, Darian showed no panic. Instead, he cheerfully said, "Sister, have you forgotten who you are again? Coincidentally, my Great Memory Restoration Technique has improved recently, so let me give you a good treatment."
Erica: "..."
Surprisingly, Erica, who was clearly under control, stopped eerily after hearing that sentence.
Kilgrave frowned and shouted again, "I said, kill him for me!"
But Erica didn't react at all. Instead, her body trembled slightly, as if some terrible memories were resurfacing in her mind.
It wasn't until Darian stood up and stretched his elbow that her hollow eyes suddenly focused, and she blurted out!
"I remember! I am Erica!"
Matt: "?"
No, this is possible!?
He had been desperately calling out to Erica before, but she hadn't reacted. Instead, she fought more fiercely, treating him like a mortal enemy.
But now, Darian merely raised his elbow, and Erica instantly sobered up.
Could it be that the Great Memory Restoration Technique really works?
However, Erica only briefly broke free from the mental control and was quickly controlled again by Kilgrave's ability.
But no matter how Kilgrave gave orders, she remained frozen in place, refusing to attack Darian, as if her brain system had crashed.
"Damn it, what in the world is going on?" Kilgrave couldn't help but curse.
Darian shrugged, "I don't know, maybe she has a crush on me and can't bear to lay a hand on me."
Matt: "..."
Seeing that Erica was reluctant to follow orders, Kilgrave had no choice but to turn his attention to the newly subdued Luke Cage.
"You go kill that guy!"
Luke Cage didn't hesitate for a moment.
The instant he heard the command, he charged forward like a full-speed freight train, delivering a straightforward punch directly at Darian's head!
Bang!
Darian deftly sidestepped, and the heavy punch grazed past his ear, slamming fiercely into the stone pillar behind him.
Bang!
In an instant, shattered stones flew everywhere, and the surface of the sturdy pillar cracked and collapsed, leaving a shocking fist print.
"Thai Boxing Warning!"
Darian seized the moment Luke Cage retracted his punch, bent his arm, raised his elbow, and delivered a fierce elbow strike towards his face!
Boom!
A heavy thud sounded, and Luke Cage was sent flying backward by Darian's elbow, crashing heavily into a distant wall and shaking down a cloud of dust.
Kilgrave's pupils contracted, and he immediately understood that Darian was also no ordinary person.
What kind of hellhole is this Hell's Kitchen?
Why are there so many superhumans everywhere!
Kilgrave was not a local of Hell's Kitchen. He originally came here only to find Jessica, and he never expected this place to be so full of talent. He had only been here for a few days and had already encountered so many superhumans. Not counting himself, there were already five superhumans in this restaurant.
Of course, this was a good thing for Kilgrave.
His ability was like that of a Pokémon trainer; the stronger and more superhumans he captured, the stronger he became.
After all, his body was as fragile as an ordinary person's; he could neither withstand a hundred thousand volts nor lift hundreds of tons of Pokémon.
Soon, Luke Cage shook his head and stood up.
He had taken a direct elbow strike from Darian, but his face was only slightly red and swollen, clearly not seriously injured.
In fact, during a secret experiment, Luke Cage's cells mutated, making his skin and muscle strength far beyond ordinary people's. His attack and defense were both maxed out, and even a bomb detonating on him would leave him unharmed.
"Sure enough, he's both Strong and hard."
Seeing this, Darian couldn't help but sigh.
His current strength was calculated in tons, yet Luke Cage could withstand his elbow strike.
Among the many opponents he had encountered, this level of body hardness was probably only comparable to Loki, the sorcerer.
After getting up, Luke Cage lunged at Darian again, his fists whipping up gusts of wind!
However, despite his astonishing strength, his speed was considerably inferior.
Even without activating Grim Reapers Eye, Darian could easily evade Luke Cage's attacks.
The next second, Darian's GANTZ Enhanced Suit instantly activated, and his muscles swelled!
He charged forward, delivering a rising knee strike, slamming hard into Luke Cage's chin!
Boom!!
Luke Cage was blasted upwards by the immense force, his entire head embedded directly into the restaurant's ceiling, his body suspended in mid-air, swaying limply.
"Jessica! You too, get him for me!"
Seeing how formidable Darian was, Kilgrave became restless and ordered Jessica, who was beside him.
Upon hearing this, Jessica grabbed a solid wood dining table nearby and violently threw it at Darian!
Rip!
Darian reacted extremely quickly, performing an aerial roundhouse kick that shattered the wooden table into countless splinters in mid-air.
Jessica had already taken the opportunity to close in, delivering a punch that whistled through the air directly at Darian!
Darian raised his arm to block, and a powerful force came through his arm, only slightly weaker than Luke Cage's strength.
He didn't hesitate, sidestepping for a swift front kick that solidly hit Jessica's abdomen, sending her flying backward, knocking over a large section of tables and chairs before she stopped.
Whoosh!
Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind his head.
Darian ducked to avoid the sneak attack and, upon closer inspection, discovered that the assailant was none other than Matt.
[NPC: Matt Murdock]
[Codename: Daredevil]
[Affection: 10]
[Rating: The legal pioneer of Hell's Kitchen, one of the best fighting lawyers]
[Status: Under mental control, attempting to break free, failed to break free, attempting to break free again, failed to break free]
Clearly, Matt had also been controlled by Kilgrave.
Although his willpower was strong enough, prolonged exposure to Kilgrave's pheromones ultimately made him unable to resist Kilgrave's ability.
Of course, from Matt's status, it was evident that he was also actively trying to break free.
Unfortunately, this thing is like abstaining from something; once you slack off, it's hard to suppress it again, and every day feels like the first day of abstinence.
Almost simultaneously, a dull thud came from above. Luke Cage roughly pulled his head out of the plasterboard, landing heavily and making the floor tremble slightly.
On the other side, Jessica also shook her head and stood up again.
In the blink of an eye, the three street heroes of Hell's Kitchen surrounded Darian from different directions, emanating killing intent.
They clearly intended to give Darian a righteous group beating.
Suddenly surrounded by heroes, Darian wasn't flustered at all, even feeling a bit speechless.
In a hero assembly plot like this, shouldn't the next step be to prepare to take on the villain BOSS?
Why are they coming after me?
