Inside the warehouse building.
Due to the previous intense firefight and the vehicle crash...
The first floor was basically just a mess of corpses and broken furniture.
The second floor was slightly better, but still somewhat disordered from the earlier chaos.
In the five-person squad, Baymax shuffled at the front, providing cover.
The other four held their guns and advanced cautiously but quickly.
Perhaps the building really had no defenses left, as there was no ambush on the entire second floor.
Only when they reached the stairs to the third floor did two more enemies pop up.
But before these two could attack, they were instantly shot dead by Shield Mountain and Shamila, who had the fastest reactions.
Two to the chest, one to the head.
One enemy fell unconscious instantly, while the other dropped a grenade he had already pulled the pin on.
One second later, the grenade exploded with a boom.
With such a loud commotion, these two probably didn't rest peacefully.
It wasn't until they reached the third floor that they realized the entire third level of the warehouse building, aside from the wide corridor leading up and a few small rooms like security offices...
Actually consisted of a single bright hall occupying eighty percent of the floor's area.
The floor was paved with polished marble, with two huge white pillars standing on either side.
Various exquisite and expensive-looking furniture were arranged in small groups.
If not for the severely burned corpses on the ground and some damage caused by the earlier explosion...
It looked more like an art-filled exhibition gallery than the lair of an underworld emperor.
And at this moment, Luca's target, Kingpin...
Was sitting calmly behind a huge stone desk at the far end of the room, showing no sign of panic despite having lost all his men and being cornered.
When he saw Luca and his group appear, this extraordinarily burly man even tidied his collar in a dignified manner and spoke first, his voice deep and cultured.
"Luca von O..."
Bang~
Before Kingpin could finish two words, Luca, who had been smiling all the way up the stairs, raised his gun and fired first.
The electromagnetic stun round from the [Dominator]'s non-lethal mode was as fast as lightning.
A flash of green electric arc.
The bullet flew right in front of Kingpin's face.
However, Luca's dishonorable sneak attack didn't hit Kingpin, who was still speaking. Instead, it exploded with a bang less than three meters from him.
It was precisely because this bullet aimed at Kingpin's forehead was intercepted...
That the group realized a whole pane of nearly transparent bulletproof glass stood in front of Kingpin, who was sitting behind the marble desk.
Although the shot was blocked by the bulletproof glass and missed, Kingpin's previously calm face turned ugly.
He hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary brat to be so decisive.
If he hadn't prepared defenses beforehand...
However, Kingpin's sudden ferocity didn't affect Luca's group.
Shield Mountain even asked Luca without hesitation.
"Master, the electromagnetic gun's attack doesn't seem to test the strength of that bulletproof glass. Should we try live ammunition?"
As he spoke, Shield Mountain and the other two raised their muzzles. It seemed that with one command from Luca, they would unleash a volley.
To test for Kingpin whether his construction team had taken kickbacks during renovation.
"Enough!"
Kingpin, still sitting motionless, let out a suppressed growl and slammed his fist onto the marble desk in front of him.
With a bang, spiderweb cracks instantly spread across the mirror-smooth marble surface.
This terrifying physical strength made Shield Mountain and the others frown slightly.
But immediately after, having seemingly vented his anger, Kingpin's expression returned to calm. He tidied his wrinkled cuffs in a civilized manner, then continued.
"Luca Aurantius, I presume you came here now because of that idiot Dragan taking matters into his own hands? Since you've already eliminated him, there's no conflict of interest between us."
Saying this, before Luca could speak, Kingpin pulled out two documents from under the desk and tossed them onto the table.
He then continued.
"My men will arrive in 20 minutes. By then, you few won't be able to escape."
"But I'm giving you a chance to choose again now."
"Here is ten percent of Aurantius Industries' shares. I've already handled all the paperwork. Just sign, and they are yours. Consider this my greeting gift. We will have more opportunities for cooperation later. The alien debris in Midtown is a big cake; you can't possibly eat it all by yourself!"
After saying this, Kingpin fell silent, looking composedly at Luca.
As if he held the advantage.
In the distance, Luca looked at the documents on Kingpin's desk, showed a friendly smile, and nodded readily.
"Sure~ Sounds good to me~"
"Master!" Shamila looked at Luca anxiously, but he raised a hand to interrupt her.
"However, I have one condition," Luca continued with a smile.
Kingpin frowned slightly, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction, but still asked following Luca's words.
"What condition?"
Seeing this, Luca raised his hand and pointed directly at Kingpin's body, speaking naturally.
"I want that suit you're wearing. Hmm, I want it right now!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Kingpin, but even the other three beside Luca were stunned for a moment.
However, Kingpin was still the first to react.
"Enough!!"
With a roar.
Kingpin stood up with a boom.
Over two meters tall, combined with his solid build, he looked like a mountain of flesh.
Coupled with his ferocious expression, an intense sense of oppression washed over them.
In Kingpin's view, Luca saying he wanted his suit right now was purely to humiliate him and trick him into walking out of his protection.
Did he think Kingpin was some irrational idiot?
Well, actually, while Luca asking for the suit did have a bit of intention to lure Kingpin out to his death...
More importantly, he really wanted that suit!
In fact, the moment Luca came upstairs and saw Kingpin, he had noticed the pure white suit on this guy...
Was emitting a faint white glow!
Unfortunately, Kingpin clearly didn't intend to satisfy Luca's small request.
Seeing this, Luca lowered his head slightly and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Dazzling white light reflected off both lenses.
Then he raised the [Dominator] in his hand.
And smiled a "then there's no other way" smile~
