Chapter 108 Daredevil’s Begging

Translator: Kyous

The group hastily sprinted to the lab. Right now, Ol’ Tom had a rough estimation. When the product launch was held, besides him having a direct conflict with Kingpin, the other was Heather. Was she the one kidnapped by Kingpin?

From Bucky and Leo’s words from before, Ol’ Tom knew Kingpin was a vindictive person. If Kingpin was aiming for revenge, then the poor captured person certainly was Heather.

Peter, who was following behind, was worried. He had a vague ominous premonition. The disappearance of Mary Jane definitely was related to this matter. 

But MJ wasn’t an employee of El Tech Company. Logically, it should be impossible?! I hope I’m just overthinking.

The group entered the lab like a colony of bees. When Steam saw the colony of people suddenly appear, it was excitedly buzzing to the crowd while greeting them one by one.

Leo led the group to one of the experiment benches with several monitors, “Steam, I’ve authorized you to access every surveillance footage. Retrieve what you have seen from the external cameras around the El Building in the last thirty minutes. Retrieval target, El Tech Company’s employee. Type of event, conflict, robbery, kidnapping, etc.”

“Buzz! Retrieving begin, obtained database. Estimated retrieval time, two minutes.”

Concurrently, using this opening, Bucky dragged the man out of the sack and prepared to interrogate him.

There weren’t any interrogation devices in the lab, so Bucky could only use the crudest method to interrogate. He found a rope and tied the man’s hands before using Leo’s armor stand to hang the man up.

A dagger was waltzing on Bucky’s hand, occasionally slicing the vital parts of the man. Evidently, the man wasn’t as strong-willed as Bullseye. Soon enough, the man began to plead, “Spare me, spare my life! I’ll say it, I’ll tell you everything!”

“Who else did you kidnap?” Bucky asked the key question right away.

“She’s called Heather, your company’s Chief of Sales Department. We also captured another woman. She was chatting with Heather at that time.” For survival, the man even learned to answer before being questioned.

Both Matt and Peter’s expressions changed, from worry to livid and finally murderous.

When Steam, who was eavesdropping by the side, heard the man’s words, the eyes on its oblong-shaped head flickered. It swiftly filtered out everything about Heather’s footage leaving a final image behind. “Buzz! Retrieval completed. Only one result was found. Playing the footage now.”

The group’s attention was attracted by Steam onto the screen. After enlarging and sharpening the footage, the scene of Heather and Mary Jane being kidnapped was reproduced.

Although Matt was unable to watch the footage, he could deduce from the crowd’s heartbeat and breathing noise. The man wasn’t lying just now and Matt immediately became restless. At the moment, if there was any delay, Heather’s life would be less secure.

Out of the blue, Matt flicked the guiding stick in his hand, pressing the serrated edge onto the man’s throat. Matt was going to question the man about Heather’s location. Unexpectedly and simultaneously, Peter, who was worried about Mary Jane’s safety, couldn’t resist shooting a web at the man. He tugged the man to his side, preparing to question Mary Jane’s location.

“Ah!” The man let out a scream as Matt’s guiding stick deeply pierced into the man’s right shoulder.

At this critical moment, Leo noticed Peter and Matt taking action simultaneously. In the nick of time, Leo surged his Mechanical Force and pulled Matt’s guiding stick aside by a few inches, preventing the man’s throat from being slashed…

Fortunately, Leo was a meter away from the man. If any further, his Mechanical Force would fail to move the guiding stick.

Bucky was afraid the two young men acted rashly and caused the loss of the only lead they had. He hurriedly questioned, “Speak, where are the girls right now?”

Due to almost losing his life in the accident just now, the man was scared out of his wits. Akin to beans spilling out from a can, the man spilled out everything he knew. “Nordril ordered us to capture them. After capturing, send them to a club at the northernmost of Queens…”

The man was only an insignificant driver. He only knew his job and was clueless about the general plan and the aim. However, everyone was satisfied with being able to pry out a specific location from the man’s mouth.

“Sir… I’m just an underling who follows orders, I’m clueless about the big stuff. I’ve no intention of hurting you. I have a family, can you please spare me, sir…” The man’s survival instinct erupted and forced himself to beg for mercy from the crowd. Since he was in this line of work, he should’ve expected the worst ending of his fate from the beginning.

Hence, the man received the ending he deserved.

Bucky stuffed the man’s cold body back into the black sack. “Leo, we should go to that seaside warehouse and have a look as soon as possible.”

Matt was already being restless for a while but he knew with just his strength, it was impossible for him to safely bring Heather out. He might even lose his life. “Mr. Erwin, please save Heather.”

Naturally, Leo was going to save Heather. The moment he saw the surveillance footage, he was distracted in formulating a rescue plan. Currently, a rough plan had already formed in Leo’s mind. Despite having many rough parts, time didn’t allow him to polish it. The rest could only be continued on the road.

Coincidentally, when he heard Bucky and Matt’s urging, he was going to announce his rescue plan.

All of a sudden, a series of notifications appeared. Leo received a mission regarding Matt at this critical juncture.
