Chapter 196: Zealot
The Hand's former site.
After the Hand's core members and five fingers were destroyed, the entire organization was handed over by Haschwalth to take care of by him, which was used as a cover for the invisible empire on the surface.
As for the real invisible empire, it was in the shadow of the bottom layer of the Hand.
Under the moonlight, Matt looked at the Hand's door and sighed in his heart.
Since the last time Jessica slaughtered Ninjas, Matt felt that he could not get along with Jessica, so unless Haschwalth summoned him, he would never take the initiative to come here.
But today was different...
Matt touched the whip mark on his chest and could still vaguely feel the burning pain. His mind could not help but think of the previous battle.
The mysterious man whose eyes were dark and full of cracks, with all kinds of strange attacks, almost suppressed him to the point that he could not breathe.
If not for the fact that the Quincy had the ability to walk in the air, he would have died in that dark alley and become one!
Thinking of this, Matt couldn't help but look sad. He clenched his fists and said bitterly, "If I awakened the power of the Quincy... I wouldn't let them leave at that time!"
On that day, Jessica pulled out her spiritual bow with both arms, and the power that killed nearly a hundred ninjas in one fell swoop made Matt quite envious.
But the hateful thing was...
No matter how much he trained during this period of time, he was unable to stimulate that power!
Other than being able to control a small portion of spirit particles, it was impossible to condense a spirit bow as strong as Jessica, let alone let him shoot a storm of arrows.
It was precisely because he had not awakened the spirit bow that he could only control a portion of the weak spirit particles that he was pressed to the ground by that mysterious man.
Although he managed to escape by luck in the end, he could not stop them from taking the boy away! Th/e most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m
Connecting it to the information revealed by the other person, they took the little boy away in order to sacrifice him to the God of Darkness, instantly triggering the restless soul of the hero in Matt's body!
After integrating all the known information, Matt was basically able to determine it.
This evil organization known as the 'Zealot' had a great scheme, and judging from the skilled methods and tone of those people, the child that they had captured was not just today!
So...
In order to save the children who had been captured,
Even if he did not want to see Jessica, Matt had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the Hand's building.
The moment Matt stepped through the door with his left foot, the dark shadow projected through the moonlight instantly became like a living creature, squirming and swallowing him whole!
On this matter that Matt was talking about, even though Jessica was a little tempted, she was still a little hesitant.
However, when she thought about how she might expose Haschwalth and attract Soul Society's pursuit, Jessica instantly extinguished that idea.
"I... want to see Lord Haschwalth!"
Matt was silent for a while, then stared at Jessica with a sharp gaze, and said word by word, "It is not up to you to decide whether to save or not. Let the adults decide!"
The only person who could change Jessica's mind was Lord Haschwalth!
In other words...
He wanted to save the children who had been kidnapped by the fanatics. Only by obtaining Haschwalth's consent would he be able to get Jessica to help!
But in this way, it would undoubtedly deepen Jessica's prejudice against him.
But Matt could no longer care much about it. He would rather be punished afterwards than be a cold-blooded person who would not save him!
"Matt Murdoch"
A voice mixed with rage exploded in Matt's ears like a thunderclap!
Boom!
Before Matt could react, he saw Jessica suddenly disappear from the seat.
The next moment, his neck was grabbed by a slender hand. The huge force made him unable to breathe!
"Do you want to die?"
Jessica's eyes were red, and she said with killing intent, "I should have told you that I will eliminate anything that will endanger Lord Haschwalth as soon as possible, including you!"
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Matt's face turned purple, and his eyes were filled with horror!
He did not expect this woman to be so ruthless, and she did not even give him a chance to explain!
"Jessica, let go of him."
A gentle voice came from behind him, causing Jessica to be stunned.
Matt, whose extreme lack of oxygen caused him to lose consciousness, heard this voice and his eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy, because he knew that he was saved!
Sure enough.
Under the command of the voice, Jessica let go of Matt without hesitation, then turned around and knelt down on one knee, bowing her head and saying, "Lord Haschwalth... welcome home."
