Chapter 110: Fame So Great
Chapter 110: Fame So Great
The rumors that Lu Yifang had heard for two days were finally confirmed today. The Punisher was promoted to the captain of the law enforcement team. In just three days, the crime activities in Xuefu City dropped by 80%. The originally chaotic public security seemed to have become well-organized overnight.
The reputation of the Punisher was born from this, so much so that some criminals voluntarily surrendered themselves, just because they were afraid of encountering the iron cavalry under the Punisher. After all, there is still a chance of turning over a new leaf if they are imprisoned, but being targeted by the Punisher often means saying goodbye to the world forever.
Some extraordinary heroes may disagree with the Punisher's thunderous methods, but Lu Yifang has no objection. Troubled times require severe punishments. In this world that is falling apart, if you want to protect the peace of the academy city and guard this city of superpowers from being disturbed, an iron-blooded figure like the Punisher is indispensable.
The Punisher, whose real name is Frank Custer, was a former Marine special forces soldier. He is proficient in tactics, firearms and vehicles, and his fighting skills have reached the level of a master, making him a leader among the elite. He has completed countless seemingly impossible missions, and even Fury has taken notice of him and hailed him as the "top agent."
Fury admires Frank so much, in addition to his extraordinary strength, I am afraid that he also has the feeling of "the most precious thing is to seek it". Fury, who is skillful in cultivation, has tried his best but failed to recruit him from the military to become an agent of SHIELD.
On the contrary, Frank himself was tired of fighting life and death, so he chose to retire from the army and return to New York to seek a simple life.
Normally, when the king of special forces retires to the city, he should be shaking the bureaucrats with his fists, trampling the gangs with his feet, surrounded by beautiful women, and having beautiful women pay him homage. However, the place where he retired was New York.
It would have been fine if he had never possessed power, wealth, or beauty, but after finally getting married and having children, he barely had a few years of peace before his family was broken up in an instant.
During the alien invasion, the government he had served not only did not send help to rescue his family, but instead dropped a nuclear bomb to destroy the world. All these things made Frank completely despair of the existing government.
Therefore, when General Ross advocated New York's autonomy, Frank responded immediately. He was unwilling to wait for heroes to save him in the dark. He was determined to stand up, judge evil with his own power, and defend the city that he had failed to defend.
At this moment, this middle-aged man with sparse beard, hand on his cheek, and a thoughtful look on his face, has stood on the dark top of the Academy City, transformed into a punisher that the evildoers tremble in fear of.
"Knock knock~" Just as Frank was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door. After getting permission, Polaris led the way into the room.
"It's you, the leader of the School of Supernatural Powers, Lu Yifang!" Frank was slightly stunned when he saw this.
"When did I become so famous?" Lu Yifang raised his eyebrows slightly. Compared to Magneto's high-profile behavior and preference for press conferences, he would rather hide behind the scenes and stir up the situation.
"It's okay, Ross... The mayor once mentioned you. I don't like politics, but I still try my best to learn a thing or two about the upper echelons of Xuefu City." After Frank finished speaking, he invited Lu Yifang to take a seat.
"I thought it was a blessing that this S-rank mission could attract the Ice Leader of the Lionheart Society, but I didn't expect the reward to be far beyond my expectations. It seems that this matter is very much to your heart."
Frank is not a dull person. A high-ranking official like Lu Yifang is either busy with earth-shaking events or on his way to something. How could he condescend to serve as an auxiliary police officer for the law enforcement team and maintain public order?
"Tell me about your problem." Lu Yifang waved his hand, signaling Frank to get straight to the point.
"We have discovered several boundary breakers, all of whom are psychics and possess devices that weaken their powers. It is quite difficult to deal with them. These are the photos we collected." Frank said as he handed over some pictures.
In the picture, a blond man is in the front, his upper body is normal, but his lower body has turned into flowing water. Behind him stand several blue-skinned supernatural beings, holding strange weapons, wearing exotic armor, and scales can be vaguely seen on various parts of their bodies.
"The one in front is the villain nicknamed 'Water Walker', whose real name is Morris Bench. He awakened his superpowers due to the X-crystal and committed evil everywhere. Because of his special abilities, he has escaped from my hands twice. As for the superpower behind him, I didn't find any relevant information in the files. They should be foreign boundary breakers, and the weapons specially made to restrain superpowers were also brought by them."
"What is their purpose?" Lu Yifang asked, his eyes never leaving the blue-skinned mutants.
"X crystal." Frank replied.
"In this way, spies from various governments can be excluded." Lu Yifang asserted. Although the first batch of X crystals was limited to the Five Hegemons, with Fury's shrewdness, as long as the price was high enough, some small leaks were not impossible.
Therefore, if it is just for research rather than mass production of superpowers, all countries must have already got the X-crystal. Even the Five Tyrants who want to mass produce superpower warriors will not sneak into the academy city to steal the X-crystal at this moment. This move is obviously not worth the loss. They must now focus on analyzing the structure of the X-crystal.
Unfortunately, they will soon find that there is little hope. The X-crystal is a product of Kree technology, and it is not easy to analyze it.
After coming to the conclusion, Lu Yifang felt relieved. Nowadays, the relationship between Xuefu City and the governments of various countries is delicate. On the one hand, the reputation of the superpowers as heroes fighting against alien civilizations has soared among the people, and with the support of SHIELD, all countries are cautious.
On the other hand, the world suddenly added two million people with special powers. Although Xuefu City has put them on the shelf, this force cannot be ignored by anyone in power.
Therefore, although they will not start a war easily, there are still quite a few agents who have infiltrated, and it is quite troublesome to deal with this matter.
"In your opinion, these boundary breakers may belong to some terrorist forces." Frank analyzed.
