"Matt," Lionel greeted Daredevil Matt Murdoch, who was wearing a suit and sunglasses.
"Lionel, and Ms. Makima," Matt returned the greeting, then sensed again, his brow furrowing slightly. He felt the scent of the woman in Makima's arms was a bit familiar, but because Elektra's scent had changed a lot after being possessed by the Beast, and in his perception, Elektra had died long ago, he didn't recognize her for a moment:
"Who is this unconscious woman? And is this your new pet? Its scent is really strange."
The Black Cat Beast bared its teeth at Matt, but in a public place, it still didn't speak directly with its rusty voice.
"You didn't recognize her? You should be very familiar with her," Lionel said.
Matt sensed carefully for a while longer, but still couldn't recall who the unconscious woman was. He shook his head and said:
"It is somewhat familiar, but I don't have such a person in my memory."
Lionel's lips curled into a smile, "Matt, if you say that, Elektra will be very sad!"
Matt was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Elektra? Is she a relative? Or… could it be?"
Matt stood up, went to the unconscious Elektra, and touched her face with his hand.
"It really is Elektra! Didn't she die? Where did you find her?"
Lionel said: "This matter is very complicated. You calm down first; everyone around us thinks we're human traffickers."
Taking Elektra, Matt then took off his suit and draped it over her, then continued to ask:
"What is her condition now?"
"She should be unconscious, and she's about to wake up," Lionel continued:
"Elektra is involved in what happened here."
Matt nodded, not interrupting, but letting Lionel continue.
"You also know that The Hand wanted to summon a demon beast to obtain the Dragon Bone. Elektra was the vessel they chose, and they succeeded."
"What?" Matt exclaimed, looking at the still unconscious Elektra, "So what is her condition now? Is the demon still inside her?"
Lionel said: "You don't need to worry about that. We have already resolved the problem of the demon inside Elektra. She is just normally unconscious now."
"Thank you!"
Lionel nodded and continued: "We informed S.H.I.E.L.D. about The Hand's intelligence in advance. Although their operational efficiency is really low, it was still effective. Although they didn't eliminate the demon in the end and let it escape, Makima and I later found the escaped demon, dealt with it, and incidentally saved your old lover."
Matt asked: "What happened to The Hand?"
Lionel thought for a moment and said: "Alexandra was directly swallowed by the Beast. I think S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely continue to investigate The Hand after such a big mess, and The Hand, having already lost two fingers, should also keep a low profile."
Lionel looked at Elektra in Matt's arms and said:
"You should figure out how to deal with Elektra's situation. Legally, she is already dead."
"It's good enough that she's alive. I'll figure out how to handle the aftermath. Oh, by the way, I'll send you Ms. Makima's identification documents the day after tomorrow."

"I have understood the entire situation. There was Vampire involvement in this Hand demon incident, and our S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence was also leaked. You understand what I mean, right?"
In a closed room with only two people, Nick Fury looked at Coulson with his one eye.
Coulson was startled, then realized and said:
"Officer, you mean there's a spy in the bureau?"
Nick Fury said: "Hmm, those Vampire idiots couldn't have reacted that quickly. It can only be a spy within the bureau who leaked the intelligence. Coulson, your next mission is to secretly investigate the truth behind this matter and uncover the spy within S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What about The Hand's matter?" Coulson asked a question.
"I will assign the task of investigating The Hand to Hawkeye. The Hand, having lost two fingers, is not a concern." Although Nick Fury looked down on organizations like The Hand, he still dispatched a top Agent like Hawkeye to handle it.
"Take this."
Nick Fury pushed a phone to Coulson.
Coulson picked up the phone and asked: "What is this for?"
"There's a contact in the phone's address book. He's a Vampire hunter who can help you investigate Vampire matters. His name is Eric Brooks; you can also call him Blade."
"Blade? I've seen his related files at the bureau. Officer, is he your friend?" Coulson asked, seemingly.
"We've fought together. He's a very capable guy, and he loves to show off," Nick Fury's lips curved slightly when he said this, as if he was thinking of something pleasant.
Coulson secretly noted it down. Not many people could make their Director show that expression. This Blade, named Eric, must be an old friend of the Director.

In the early morning, Lionel woke up from his sleep again. He felt there was some movement in the living room, and Makima, who had been sleeping beside him, was no longer there. He figured she had gone to make breakfast again.
As for why Makima was sleeping in Lionel's bed, Makima suddenly said that family members should sleep together, and then she occupied half of Lionel's bed. Although Lionel didn't understand what Makima was thinking, he wasn't some gentleman, so of course, he wouldn't refuse.
Walking out of the bedroom door, his leg touched a furry object. Lionel looked down and saw Golden Retriever Denji lying at the bedroom door.
In the living room, Lionel saw two knights, one gray and one black, fighting. No, it was Hakimi and the Black Cat Beast fighting. One was riding on Pochita's back, and the other was standing on Lil' Bone's head. One cat was fighting with a broom.
"Since summoning Makima, there have been more and more animals in the house," Lionel thought to himself.
Lionel remembered that day he brought the rusty demon back to his residence. The Black Cat Beast immediately fixated on Lil' Bone, which was formed from the Dragon Bone. At that time, Hakimi was riding on Lil' Bone, and then he was kicked off by the Black Cat Beast. Then the Black Cat Beast began to lick Lil' Bone's bones.
Saying something like, "I finally found you, Dragon Bone. So you were waiting for King here!"
Makima had placed restrictions on the Beast; it could not use its demon abilities without permission, only acting like an ordinary stray cat.
Hakimi, seeing another cat in the house, felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and then compared himself to the Black Cat Beast in every way. He didn't know how Makima managed it, to make a demon so much like a cat.
"Meow, Lionel, I say, we should kick this stray cat out of the house. Look, it's neither as cute nor as sensible as me, and its mouth still smells of rust!"
"Meow, kid, King thinks this cat, which can't do anything but talk, is useless. Keeping it here is just a waste of food!"
Lionel didn't feel annoyed; he sat on the sofa, quite amused, watching the two cats quarrel.
"If I were to throw one out, I'd throw out this impolite cat first. I told you to call me Master."
