Chapter 81: MUP: Chapter 80. Connecting
"Who are you?"
With Danny's help, the Defenders took refuge in a closed Mexican restaurant in Hell's Kitchen.
Covering the wound he received from the Beast, Matt gritted his teeth and asked the man who had suddenly appeared in front of them.
"My name is Danny, Danny Rand. " Standing in the doorway of the restaurant and glancing outside, Danny turned his head to Matt.
"You're that billionaire?"
Bracing herself to put Luke's bulky body down, Jessica looked at the man's appearance and raised a long, thin eyebrow in surprise.
"If you mean Rand Enterprises, yeah, that's me. " Nodding his head, Danny didn't deny it.
"Why were you in the Hand's base? Why did you help us?" Moving his body, Matt grimaced because of the sharp pain. He kept questioning as he gripped his guide stick.
Danny: "I was attacked by the Hand in Cambodia, and I was told that the truth I was looking for was in New York. "
Matt: "Why did the Hand attack you?"
Danny shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but it's probably related to the power I have."
"The power you have?" Thinking of Danny's punch that sent the Beast flying earlier, Jessica couldn't help but say, "That thing that makes your hands glow? "
Danny opened his mouth and corrected, "The power of the Iron Fist, the power to protect K'un-Lun."
"K'un-Lun?" Noticing the words in Danny's sentence, Matt couldn't help but repeat it.
"Compared to that, I think we better think of a way to deal with the Beast first," Luke spoke up. He was the most wounded of the group. His invulnerable body couldn't resist the powerful palm strike from the Beast, "We're no match for him. "
"The Beast?"
Hearing the words from Luke, Danny couldn't help saying, "I've heard of that name. "
"You've heard of him?" Jessica wondered.
"Someone from Peng Lai told me, Ip Man."
Danny murmured a reply, recalling what had happened that time.
...
"Master Ip, why did you come to New York?"
After a brief encounter, Danny realised the gap between him and Ip Man, who gave him the same impression as the masters in K'un-Lun. A slight feeling of goodwill emerged out of nowhere.
"In search of a man and to find out the truth at the same time. "
Ip Man gently nodded and replied.
"The truth?"
Ip Man: "A disciple of Peng Lai met with an accident in New York, so I came here to find out what happened. "
Danny: "I hope you can find your answer. "
"And what about you, young man, what is your purpose? I can see some confusion in your heart."
When Ip Man asked, Danny hesitated for a moment before he slowly said, "I was attacked in Cambodia, and I found out it was all done by a group called the Hand. But I don't know why they're after me. Like you, Master Ip, I'm also looking for answers. "
"Hmm, good luck with finding your answers." Clasping his hands together, Ip Man nodded his head.
"Same to you, Master Ip. " Danny replied kindly.
"By the way, Master Ip, who was the person you just said you were looking for again?" Remembering the first half of what Ip Man had said, Danny couldn't help but ask.
"A dangerous person called the Beast. "
"The Beast? "
...
"They escaped!"
At the Hand's base, Madame Gao arrived on the scene and looked at the collapsed wall with a surprised look on her face.
She had thought that the Beast would be able to deal with the Defenders.
"What happened?"
Looking back from the wall in silence, Madame Gao glanced at the frowning and silent Beast in the distance and turned to Bullseye on the side to ask.
"There was an accident," Bullseye said, explaining what had happened before to Madame Gao. "A guy with golden fists suddenly appeared and rescued those guys."
"Golden fists?!" Bullseye's words made Madame Gao's grip tighten on her cane. Such a description reminded her of a figure that the Hand had been struggling to find for some time now -- Iron Fist.
'As expected, Iron Fist had already arrived in New York.'
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Madame Gao tried to maintain the usual expression on her face. She was about to continue asking, "Do you know ..."
"It looks like your plan failed, Madame Gao. "
With a raspy, harsh voice, an equally withered man appeared in the Hand's base.
"Why are you here?"
Frowning, Madame Gao looked at the figure. She couldn't help but speak in a cold tone, "Didn't I say it before? I'll take care of everything. "
"Initially, that's what I thought. After all, of the few of us, you have the most experience in this area. " Step by step, he approached Madame Gao and stopped. The skinny old man looked at the situation in front of him. His eyes paused on the Beast, who was standing not far away, "But time waits for no man. I think you can feel that time is running out, and your recent actions cost us quite a few men. "
"After some discussion, the rest of us agreed that you need help. "
"But, I've found a clue about Iron Fist. " Madame Gao lowered her voice, her expression a little unpleasant. The presence of the withered old man meant that the remaining leaders of the Hand had lost their trust in her.
"But, you haven't brought him to us. "
Shaking his head, the old man turned to look at the Beast standing not far away, "This is the so-called assistance you have found?"
"Be careful, he's not someone you can mess with."
Ignoring Madame Gao's warning, the old man approached the Beast, looked at the dusty bald man and spoke indifferently, "I heard that you let them escape?"
The Beast looked back at the withered old man yapping in front of him. He turned his head towards Madame Gao and asked, "Who is he?"
"He, like me, is a leader of the Hand. " With a deep look at the old man, Madame Gao bowed her head.
"Didn't you hear me ..." The old man frowned when he saw the Beast ignoring him.
As he raised his palm, the old man's head turned 360-degree.
The Beast approached Madame Gao, ignoring the ninjas who pulled out their swords around them, "From now on, I'll be the Hand's new master. "
