They knew Kingpin was powerful, but the strength he displayed far exceeded their imagination.
In the past, it was only rumored that Kingpin could fight against more than twenty martial arts masters simultaneously.
But now, it seemed that more than twenty martial arts masters couldn't withstand him.
With the strength Kingpin was currently displaying, even if their numbers doubled, they wouldn't be able to last a single round against him.
Kingpin's current strength far surpassed the physical limits of ordinary humans.
The sonic boom that accompanied his punches was proof; it wasn't produced by skill, but by sheer power.
Looking at the Hand assassins lying defeated before him, Kingpin revealed a ferocious smile.
"Didn't Alexandra tell you? Never defy my orders."
His cane was about to smash a killer's head when Frank's words stopped him.
"Don't do it here. Brains will splatter everywhere, and it'll be hard to clean up, which might traumatize the children."
He withdrew his cane and glanced at Elektra, who was lying on the ground, regenerating.
"Then I'll leave this to you. You should know better than I do how to extract information."
He turned and walked into Hunter's Bar, saying as he passed Daniel: "Next time, you'll be feeding the fish in the deep sea."
This wasn't Kingpin joking; his usual method was to nip all threats in the bud.
If Daniel truly brought trouble here again, he would eliminate both sources of chaos.
Kingpin's threat made cold sweat break out on Daniel's back. He had witnessed Kingpin's combat ability.
Although he didn't possess the power of the Iron Fist, Kingpin's terrifying strength was definitely something he couldn't stop.
Nodding gently, Daniel looked at Elektra with a complicated expression.
He could sense the strange aura around Elektra, an aura that made her almost immortal.
And through his many battles with the Hand, he had come to understand what that aura was.
It was a terrifying demon worshipped by the Hand, named 'the Beast'.
And Elektra was the vessel chosen by the Hand, a super assassin who could wield the power of 'the Beast', the Hand's ultimate warrior, the Black Sky.
He didn't know how the Hand managed it, but he knew that the Black Sky was one of the reasons the Hand was so powerful.
His mouth slightly opened as if to say something, but in the end, Daniel did not stop Frank's actions.
He just watched as Frank locked all the assassins into the prison Shang-Chi had opened.
After seeing the last assassin locked away, Daniel turned and walked into Hunter's Bar.
They were also here for the gathering today, but Elektra's sudden attack had knocked Matt unconscious.
However, it was fortunate that he was unconscious; otherwise, he would have had a hard time explaining Jessica's current state.
With an apologetic look, he said to Shang-Chi: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect them to attack us here."
Shang-Chi clapped his Hands. He knew Daniel and his companions hadn't intentionally led those assassins here.
Seeing them in suits, he knew they weren't prepared for a fight; the Hand's appearance was completely unexpected for them.
"It's nothing, but have you still not found that so-called Dragon Bone?"
With Andy's help, many people had started helping them look for traces of the Hand, so why was there still no news?
"There hasn't been much progress on the Dragon Bone for now; we only know it's most likely located in Hell's Kitchen.
However, we've traced the Hand abducting a large number of children from the U.S., but we don't yet know their exact whereabouts."
Daniel felt helpless about the Dragon Bone.
He really wanted to find the Dragon Bone quickly and resolve the matter here, but he only knew its approximate location.
Even Stick couldn't pinpoint the Dragon Bone's exact location, forcing them to slowly search for it.
Hearing Daniel's explanation, Shang-Chi shrugged.
He didn't know what kind of power the Dragon Bone possessed, so he couldn't help Daniel find it.
"I know two guys here who used to be tomb raiders. Maybe you can try asking them; they might have a solution.
After all, dragons, whether in the East or West, are legendary creatures, and even when dead, they always have something unique about them."
Saying this, Shang-Chi pointed to two Chinese men drinking in a corner of Hunter's Bar, "See, those are them. They're both from China, like me."
Looking at the two scruffy men, Daniel doubted their abilities.
If these two had truly been involved in tomb raiding, not to mention how much money they should have.
But at least they shouldn't look like this now; they looked like vagrants from outside.
Shang-Chi took four beers and walked towards the two men with Daniel.
The four beers clanked onto the table, startling the two men.
"Brother Hu, Brother Wang, this guy behind me wants to ask you some questions. Do you think you can help him?"
Then Shang-Chi turned to Daniel and introduced him: "This is Hu Bayi, and that's Wang Kaixuan. You can ask them about the whereabouts of the Dragon Bone."
Daniel nodded and said in fluent, standard Mandarin:
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Wang, Zheng Shangqi just said you might have a way to find the Dragon Bone.
Here's a check for thirty thousand dollars as a reward for your help, and another seventy thousand will be given after the task is completed."
Saying this, Daniel pulled out a check, wrote a string of numbers on it, and handed it to Hu Bayi.
But the check didn't catch their attention; it was when he opened his mouth.
All three, including Shang-Chi, looked at Daniel with surprise.
They hadn't expected Daniel's Mandarin to be so good; if they didn't look at him, they would have taken him for a Chinese resident.
When he came to his senses, Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the check handed to Hu Bayi.
Since they came to the U.S., they had been selling self-made exorcism and evil-repelling items daily, which was just enough for their living expenses.
And every day they had to hide from immigration officials to avoid being caught and deported.
It was a bit better around Hell's Kitchen because those guys didn't dare to show up there at all.
However, their daily lives were still very tight, and they didn't even have a place to stay.
Daniel's check, a full thirty thousand dollars, was enough for them to run a small shop and live here.
"Old Hu, that's thirty thousand! Converted to RMB, that's over a hundred thousand, and it's just for helping him find that Dragon Bone.
If we find it, we'll get another seventy thousand, so we'll have a hundred thousand. Even if we go back, we'll have six or seven hundred thousand."
Wang Kaixuan, coveting the check, kept trying to persuade Hu Bayi next to him.
They came to the U.S. to make money, not to be chased around like mice.
Looking at the thirty thousand dollar check in his Hand, Hu Bayi hesitated.
"We've already retired. It might not be good to go look for that Dragon Bone now, right?"
Before coming, they had already decided not to raid tombs anymore, but searching for some Dragon Bone, it sounded like they would be breaking their vow.
Seeing Hu Bayi's hesitant expression, Shang-Chi laughed heartily:
"There aren't any burial grounds in Hell's Kitchen. Daniel is just looking for the Dragon Bone to prevent those assassins from getting it."
And Wang Kaixuan looked indifferent: "Hey ~ it's just a pile of bones, what's the big deal?
Besides, we retired in China, not here.
Even if it really is a burial ground, it's not under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell. It's just a foreign god, who cares about him."
Hearing their words, Hu Bayi deliberated for a while, then finally nodded and accepted the request.
"Alright, I'll take this job, but I can't guarantee I can help you find that Dragon Bone."
Seeing Daniel nod in agreement, Hu Bayi took out a compass from his body and muttered to himself while staring at it.
Since the Dragon Bone was in Hell's Kitchen, it could be searched for here.
Looking at Hu Bayi, who was muttering, and their amulets.
Daniel then understood why Shang-Chi would recommend these two to him.
They were the legendary Tomb Raiders, said to have the ability to locate and pinpoint tombs.
This made Daniel somewhat hopeful; he hoped the Dragon Bone could be found by these two.
"A map! Give me a map of Hell's Kitchen."
Watching his compass spin continuously, Hu Bayi frowned.
There was no special magnetic field here, so his compass shouldn't be acting like this.
He needed a map to examine the overall layout of Hell's Kitchen.
Hearing Hu Bayi's words, Wang Kaixuan quickly pulled out the map they had purchased.
The map of Hell's Kitchen wasn't detailed, only showing a general topography and some main streets.
Staring at the map for a long time, Hu Bayi remained motionless, as if in a daze.
This made Wang Kaixuan, who was sitting next to him, anxious, and he waved his Hand in front of Hu Bayi's face.
"Old Hu, Old Hu! What's wrong, have you gone silly?"
At Wang Kaixuan's call, Hu Bayi finally snapped out of it.
"What's wrong? Fatty."
"You're so engrossed in looking at a map. Is this map really that interesting?"
Shaking the map of Hell's Kitchen in front of Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan continued: "Did you see anything different?"
Normally, Hu Bayi wouldn't be like this, even when they used to explore tombs.
He had never been so engrossed in a map as he was now.
"If that Dragon Bone is really in Hell's Kitchen, then it's very likely in this location."
Hu Bayi pointed to a spot on the map, which was a block near Hunter's Bar.
"This large area should be the location of that Dragon Bone, and there's a special energy field here that's making my compass malfunction."
He placed his compass on the bar table, and the others saw its needle spinning continuously.
Seeing this, Daniel decided to go there and check it out.
If there really was a Dragon Bone, he should be able to sense it when he got closer.
Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do here, Shang-Chi left them and walked towards Andy.
He still had to inform the boss about what happened here, and besides, the so-called Dragon Bone was right here.
If the boss was interested, he would definitely help.
"What were you doing just now? Are those two homeless-looking guys also your friends?"
Seeing Shang-Chi approach, Andy asked with a strange expression.
If Shang-Chi hadn't brought Daniel to those two scruffy guys, Andy wouldn't have even noticed their presence in Hunter's Bar.
"Daniel just confirmed the approximate location of the Dragon Bone. He's looking for Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to further pinpoint its location."
Andy glanced at the two scruffy guys, somewhat surprised.
Hunter's Bar was now truly a place where hidden talents resided; even these two scruffy guys possessed such abilities.
"So, have you found the location of the Dragon Bone?"
Andy had a strong interest in the Dragon Bone that Daniel kept mentioning.
He wanted to know what kind of remains could threaten the safety of all of New York.
Glancing at the few people still talking, Shang-Chi shrugged and said:
"You could say we haven't found it yet, but Brother Hu has only pinpointed a location, which is on the street next to our Tavern."
On the street next to Hunter's Bar?
He hadn't expected the so-called Dragon Bone to be so close, which piqued Andy's interest.
