My Lord, please have some tea!"
Xu Wenwu nodded at the person.
"That was thoughtful of you."
He took the teacup and took a small sip.
At the same time, the Masked Man also walked up to Daredevil.
The surrounding black-clad assassins formed a circle, clearing a space for them to fight.
"Superhero of the United States, my name is Shadow, and I will be your opponent now!"
As the Masked Man spoke, he drew his weapon from his waist.
It was a soft sword with a blood-red glow on its blade!
The Blood Slaughter Sword!
This sword had been with him for over a hundred years.
Yes, don't let the Masked Man's tall stature and youthful voice deceive you; he was actually an old man over a hundred years old.
The reason he wore a mask was also because his face could not withstand the erosion of time, and it had now become an aged appearance.
But his body was still young!
Aside from his face, time seemed to have left no other traces on him.
Not only that, the curse of longevity had also granted him superhuman physical abilities.
His strength was not great.
He was not as strong as Kingpin, nor could he compare to the Five-Five Split.
But his speed was very fast!
Coupled with his extraordinary swordsmanship, if they were to truly fight, Kingpin was actually not his opponent.
After all, with his abilities, he would never allow himself to be hit by Kingpin.
And he could freely land attacks on Kingpin, plus the Blood Slaughter Soft Sword in his hand, which could cut iron like mud, could easily pierce Kingpin's defense!
In contrast, the equally agile Daredevil in front of him was actually more troublesome for him.
But it was only a bit troublesome.
He did not believe he would lose!
...The battle began!
Within the encirclement, Daredevil "saw" the opponent's lightning-fast sword thrust towards his neck.
He instinctively twisted to dodge, but the opponent's sword technique was bizarre; one moment it was a direct thrust, the next the blade curved, and the sword's edge actually left a bone-deep gash on his shoulder!
Daredevil cried out in pain and dodged, using his twin clubs to block the opponent's attacks.
However, he, who had always relied on agility to win, had met his match today!
Shadow's speed was faster than his, and his swordsmanship was even more unpredictable!
After only a dozen exchanges, Daredevil already had three new wounds on his body, each nearly bone-deep, leaving him covered in blood!
Seeing this scene, Kingpin, who had previously been dismissive of Shadow, couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
Although Kingpin was confident that if he fought Daredevil, he would definitely be the one to win.
But if his opponent was this Shadow.
He had no confidence!
The opponent's speed was faster than Daredevil's, and his reactions were more agile than Daredevil's!
Coupled with that strange swordsmanship that he couldn't understand at all, like a deadly venomous snake, it made Kingpin feel a sense of dread.
It turned out that not only Xu Wenwu, but even this seemingly subservient fellow who followed him, possessed such terrifying strength!
0···0···
This made Kingpin's initial arrogance diminish significantly again.
"Where did this Xu Wenwu come from?" Kingpin couldn't help but wonder.
In all these years, he had never heard of Xu Wenwu.
He had never even heard of this Shadow!
Although Kingpin was involved in the underworld in the United States, he had some understanding of underground forces worldwide.
Therefore, if the opponent was someone who had been famous for a long time, it was impossible for him not to have heard of them.
But strangely, neither Xu Wenwu nor Shadow.
He had never heard anything about them.
Could it be that they appeared out of thin air?
That was clearly impossible!
The aura around Xu Wenwu could not belong to a newcomer who had just emerged.
He must have been a highly respected figure in the past to cultivate such an aura.
In this regard, Kingpin himself felt inferior!
However, no matter how Kingpin thought, he could not have imagined that Xu Wenwu was a figure from two or three hundred years ago.
And in that era, even the United States did not yet exist!
How could Kingpin have heard of Xu Wenwu's name?
On the field, Daredevil's defeat was sealed.
He was merely struggling in his death throes.
But a few minutes later, with Shadow's sword piercing his chest, Daredevil completely fell.
...He could no longer get up!
"That's enough." At this moment, Xu Wenwu also put down his teacup and stood up.
He walked to Daredevil, who was lying on the ground, and looked down at him.
"Child, you are very brave, and I admire you!"
Xu Wenwu looked at the dying Daredevil, extended his hand, and a blue light emerged from his palm, finally falling onto Daredevil's body, gradually healing his otherwise fatal injuries!
At the same time, Daredevil's eyes were also enveloped by the blue light.
A voice seemed to be telling him in his mind that his Master was Xu Wenwu, and from now on, he was to obey all of Xu Wenwu's commands, never betraying or defying him!
Gradually, Daredevil went from initial resistance to having his consciousness completely twisted by this voice.
When he rose from the ground again, he had transformed from the unyielding Daredevil he once was into Xu Wenwu's most loyal henchman!
Of course, he also lost himself.
"My Lord!" Daredevil knelt on one knee, respectfully saluting Xu Wenwu.
And seeing this scene, Kingpin and the others instantly felt a chill down their spines.
No matter how arrogant Kingpin was, at this moment, seeing Xu Wenwu's method of instantly brainwashing someone, he couldn't help but feel terrified!
In fact, Xu Wenwu did not like to use such methods against people he admired.
But Daredevil was too stubborn.
And he had an unyielding attitude.
However, Xu Wenwu greatly admired him, which was why he had no choice but to use the power of the Ten Rings to twist Daredevil's mind.
Thus, although he gained Daredevil's allegiance, it was through despicable means, which did not make Xu Wenwu feel proud or happy.
"From now on, you will follow me," Xu Wenwu said.
Daredevil had no objections whatsoever.
He skillfully stood behind Xu Wenwu, just like Shadow beside him.
"Kingpin," Xu Wenwu called Kingpin's name.
This call roused Kingpin from his fear.
He looked at the crime lord, whose face was no longer as composed as before, and said faintly, "After I leave, you will have to put more effort into the matters here."
How could Kingpin dare to say no?
He nodded repeatedly, assuring Xu Wenwu that he would complete the tasks assigned to him in the shortest possible time.
Seeing this, Xu Wenwu also nodded with satisfaction.
He then turned and left with Shadow and Daredevil, surrounded by a group of black-clad assassins, quickly disappearing from Kingpin and the others' sight.
Only after Xu Wenwu left did everyone present let out a long sigh of relief.
Even Kingpin was the same.
"My Lord's aura is too terrifying; I almost thought I couldn't breathe," someone said, receiving unanimous agreement from those around them.

At this moment, Kingpin also narrowed his eyes and looked at the Crawford siblings.
The latter showed no fear of Kingpin's terrifying gaze and stared directly back at him.
"Kingpin, what do you want?" Mia Crawford demanded.
Kingpin sneered, then turned to the others and instructed, "Did everyone remember Mr. Xu's instructions just now? From now on, clean up the entire East Coast of the United States!"
The gang leaders present all nodded in agreement.
