After hearing Heisenberg clearly, the Purple Man in the car was so shocked he nearly died on the spot.
Was he planning to have Jessica finish him off?!!
Him, falling from the sky.
Jessica doing it with her own hands…
Uh, dying in her hands actually sounded kind of nice…
In that instant, the Purple Man felt like he'd split into multiple personalities again.
"Heisenberg, you and I have no grudge. Why are you…?"
Bang!
Rip!!!
Heisenberg reached out and tore off the car door on the Purple Man's side, then flung it away.
Looking at the Purple Man inside, clinging to the steering wheel for dear life because he nearly fell out, Heisenberg smiled slightly.
"Driving without a seatbelt. Now you're confused when something like this happens, huh!"
"Whether I wear a damn seatbelt or not, if I run into you I'm dead anyway! I just want to know why. Why are you trying to kill me the first time we meet? I can do a lot for you, a lot, a lot. Believe me!!!"
The Purple Man spoke insanely fast, probably because death was giving him motivation.
But after he finished, Heisenberg only laughed coldly.
The Purple Man stared nervously at that smile. When Heisenberg was done laughing, he held the car up with his left hand, then reached in with his right and grabbed the Purple Man by the throat.
"What can you do? Haha. What you could do, you already did!"
As soon as the words fell, the Purple Man was about to keep explaining, but Heisenberg's eyes flashed with red light.
In Heisenberg's vision, the Purple Man's brain structure was crystal clear. He used micro heat vision to melt and vaporize the Purple Man's frontal lobe, the part used for thinking.
When Heisenberg's eyes returned to normal, the Purple Man had become a true vegetable.
And this vegetable had absolutely no chance of waking up again!
With the Purple Man handled, Heisenberg planned to carry the car back to his rooftop.
Before he even flew, he suddenly noticed the shield strapped to the Purple Man's arm.
"Tsk tsk. Captain America, Captain America. I didn't think you could even lose your wife."
He casually unstrapped the shield and hurled it far away toward the Purple Man's apartment building.
Then he lifted the car and shot back to his rooftop in an instant. He moved so fast that Jessica had not even made it to the roof yet.
After waiting a little over a minute, Heisenberg finally saw Jessica arrive, her face full of anxious urgency.
Without hesitation, he threw the car down toward Jessica.
Jessica's head was still full of questions. She could not understand why Heisenberg was throwing a car at her.
Was he planning to go for a drive with her tonight?
Or was he angry, so angry he decided to throw a car at her?
But before her confusion could fade, she saw the car dropping from the sky.
"Damn it, that's so high!!!"
Jessica jumped in fright. She had never caught a car falling from this kind of height.
It was not that she lacked the strength. It was that there was no car that could even get up to that height in the first place!
Jessica gathered all her strength, then kicked off hard with both legs. Her whole body coiled and launched upward, leaping more than twenty meters into the air!
Her hands formed palms as she met the car head-on with a brutal strike.
Boom!!!
The chassis tore open instantly. Moments later, the entire car completely shattered into all kinds of fragments, scattering and slamming down across Heisenberg's rooftop.
And the Purple Man's motionless body was flung out along with the tearing wreck.
"There was someone in the car!"
Jessica, landing, was terrified by the silhouette cutting across the sky.
She killed someone again!
Who was it? Who had she just killed?
Bang!
The Purple Man crashed hard into Heisenberg's swimming pool. The blood seeping out of him stained the water a deep red in an instant.
Jessica rushed to the pool, leapt in, and quickly hauled the Purple Man's body out.
She tossed him onto the poolside, then climbed out herself.
As she walked toward him, she kept mumbling nonstop.
"Sorry, sorry, I thought I was just smashing the car. I didn't know you were inside. Are you Heisenberg's enemy?"
As she spoke, she flipped the Purple Man over from face-down, and then she went completely blank.
Even if she forgot everyone else, she could never forget this demon of a bastard!
Boom!
Driven by pure instinct, she threw a punch. Jessica blasted a huge hole straight through the Purple Man's chest.
At the same time, a massive crater appeared in Heisenberg's roof.
"It's you, it's you!!!!"
Jessica let out a furious roar, then started punching again and again in a crazed barrage. As she hit him, she screamed in a way that chilled the soul.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
Under that screaming, the Purple Man finally died for good.
Up in the air, Heisenberg looked at the Purple Man's惨 state and could not help curling his lip.
If we smash potatoes, we get mashed potatoes.
If we smash garlic, we get minced garlic.
If we smash tomatoes, we get ketchup.
But if we smash a scumbag, something strange happens. We still get a scumbag.
Watching Jessica continue, tirelessly and dutifully, "processing" the scumbag, Heisenberg let out a long sigh.
Let her have her time.
Heisenberg drifted away.
...
Down below the Purple Man's apartment, Coulson was leading fewer than ten S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in a desperate counterattack.
With their numbers completely outmatched, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were no match for the HYDRA agents.
Even with an elite like "Cavalry" Melinda May on their side, the enemy had Grant Ward.
If Elektra and the Nuke Gang had not been suppressing John Garrett, Coulson would probably already be dead!
Coulson kept his body tucked behind a car wheel hub, then carefully peeked out to look at the gang surrounding Crossbones and hammering John Garrett with attacks in the distance.
"Thank goodness we still have Crossbones."
He could not help sighing.
But Crossbones himself still had not crawled out of his confusion.
He held his rifle, and every time he fired two token shots toward John's side, he shrank back and kept questioning Elektra.
"You were batting your eyes at me this morning because of Heisenberg's orders?"
"Then what, you thought I was into you? I have a boyfriend!"
Bang bang!
"F*ck, I thought you were a spy. So you really are just a gang?"
"Of course, but don't look down on us compared to you agents. We professional gangsters fire more than thirty thousand bullets a year!"
After firing two shots, Elektra sat down and began loading rounds into her empty magazine and spare magazines.
As she loaded, she asked Crossbones with envy.
"Is your name really Crossbones? Or do you have another name?"
"Uh, Brock Rumlow!"
"Ha. Nice to meet you, Rumlow. I'm Elektra Natchios, codename Phantom Killer. Welcome aboard!"
Elektra pulled her right hand free and reached it out to Crossbones in a friendly gesture.
Rumlow's eyes widened. Are you seriously for real?
That's it, I'm in?
I didn't even agree, how am I suddenly a coworker?
You're that sure I'll join you?
Boom!!!
Right as the gunfire roared, Heisenberg suddenly dropped from the sky and landed hard near Elektra and Rumlow.
Countless fine cracks spread across the ground where he landed. Even the Land Rover Elektra had been leaning against bounced up slightly.
In the next instant, Rumlow grabbed Elektra's right hand.
"It's an honor to join you!"
He said it with a full smile.
Swish!!!
Who would have thought Elektra would instantly draw the sai at her waist, the tip stabbing straight for Crossbones's throat.
Crossbones stiffened, then reacted immediately. He forced Elektra's right hand down, then drove an elbow toward her chest.
Elektra was pushed back a step. At the same time, the arm holding the sai was seized tightly by Rumlow's freed left hand.
"You...!"
"Ha, good technique. I'll count it as you passing. Go say hi to the boss!"
Rumlow's angry question was cut off by Elektra's laughter.
He turned to look at the approaching Heisenberg, gritted his teeth in helpless frustration, and finally let Elektra go. He stood and walked toward Heisenberg, his face full of conflict.
Heisenberg, of course, recognized Crossbones, identical to how he looked in the movies. When Rumlow stopped in front of him, Heisenberg nodded with satisfaction.
"Looks pretty good. Stronger than the assassins under me. But I think your ability isn't just in field operations. Can you handle things like departmental deployment and coordination?"
After speaking, Heisenberg did not wait for Rumlow's answer. He casually hooked an arm around Rumlow's shoulder like a big shot and spoke softly.
"Don't think about collecting intel under me. That HYDRA boss of yours isn't worth betraying me for."
"You...!"
Rumlow was instantly horrified. John Garrett was exposed, but Rumlow and his direct superior were not exposed yet.
Heisenberg knew even that?
"What, you think running with me isn't the best outcome? The HYDRA news has already spread across all of S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s departments are basically tearing each other apart right now!
"And your top boss, Alexander Pierce, might not be exposed yet, but obviously he won't stay behind the scenes for more than half an hour.
"Because he can't accept John Garrett's faction getting wiped out by S.H.I.E.L.D.
"And with you people rising up this hastily, do you really think you have any chance of success?"
As he spoke, Heisenberg patted Rumlow's back.
"If you're smart, go to my nightclub, then go upstairs and find me with your future coworkers. We'll hold a small meeting."
With that, Heisenberg released Crossbones and walked toward Elektra.
When he reached her, Elektra stood up at once and bowed respectfully.
"Withdraw the team. This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own war. After we leave, take Crossbones to my place. There's a meeting."
"Yes!"
Elektra nodded immediately, and then she and the other Nuke Gang members vanished on the spot.
As for Crossbones, stuck in a position where he belonged nowhere, he hesitated again and again, then finally followed after Elektra.
Heisenberg also wanted to leave, but sharp-eyed Coulson had already spotted him.
Seeing him about to go, Coulson could not hold back. He charged toward Heisenberg through the storm of bullets, shouting as he ran.
"Heisenberg! Our organization is in trouble. Help us! You have that kind of power!"
"Hm?"
Hearing Coulson, Heisenberg turned with interest and looked at him.
At the same time, he raised his right hand.
The moment Heisenberg raised his hand, John Garrett, who was also watching, immediately issued an order.
"All of you, cease fire!!!"
HYDRA agents instantly stopped shooting, terrified a stray bullet might ricochet into that big shot.
Even though John Garrett understood perfectly that if Heisenberg chose to help S.H.I.E.L.D., then Garrett was doomed without a burial, he still did not dare to open fire.
He would rather gamble on Heisenberg's choice.
In that eerie silence...
"Coulson."
Heisenberg spoke.
"I have the ability to help you kill your enemies, and you have the ability to wipe out most terrorist organizations on Earth.
"Tell me, why haven't you done that?"
"I..."
Coulson was speechless.
So Heisenberg continued.
"Because that isn't your job. And tonight is the same.
"This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s business, America's business, Earth's business. It's only not my business, so keep going."
As soon as the words fell, Heisenberg shot upward and vanished in an instant.
