"....."= Conversations

"What are you up to?" Daredevil asked again with a demanding tone.

Even though Daredevil seemed to be standing in a relaxed posture, Harry knew that he was quite in guard and any suspicious move made by Harry would trigger the guy.

"Why the fu*k should I tell that to you?" Harry spoke while trying to imitate the expressions of the Homelander from the webseries.

He thought that as he had taken the appearance of Homelander it would be quite interesting to act like that guy. Moroeover he wanted to try something and Daredevil was the perfect guinea pig for it.

'Wait isn't this guy blind? No use making expressions like Homeland then,' Harry suddenly thought.

Daredevil's jaw tightened as he heard the arrogant and confrontational tone in Harry's voice. He was used to dealing with criminals and thugs, but there was something about this encounter that set off warning bells in his mind. As a seasoned vigilante, he had learned to trust his instincts, and right now they were telling him that he was facing a dangerous and unpredictable foe.

"You want to play games, huh?" Daredevil responded, his voice laced with a mix of frustration and determination. "Well, let me tell you something, pal. I don't have time for your theatrics. Whatever you're up to, it's not going to end well for you. So why don't you just keep the money from your pockets back on the table and leave quitely. I will act as if nothing happened."

A smug grin started spreading across Harry's face. "Oh, I think there's been a misunderstanding," he said, his voice dripping with arrogance. "This money is mine now. I took it from the robbers who were planning to use it for who knows what nefarious deeds. It's better off in my hands than theirs, don't you think?"

Daredevil's hands clenched into fists at his sides. "I don't care. It doesn't belong to you," he retorted, his voice low and dangerous. "I'm giving you one last chance to do the right thing and put the money back on the table."

Harry chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. "You really think you can make me do anything, don't you?" he taunted, his eyes glinting with defiance. "If you think you have the ability to stop me, then go ahead and try. But I warn you, I won't go down without a fight."

Daredevil stood silently for a few seconds after Harry's reply.

"Suit yourself," He muttered as he made a decision and removed a cane attached to his back and held it in his hands, ready for the imminent battle.

'There it is,' Harry exclaimed as he had finally gotten a situational quest.

When he was given a quest to fight Abomination back then, Harry had tried various methods to obtain situational quests back then, but he was unsuccessful in his endeavour.

'Why did I got the quest this time, but not back then when I was beating the robbers? Is this because Daredevil can pose danger to me or is this because he is one of the important character in the plot of Marvel?' Harry was still confused about this.

Back when the Agents of SHIELD had surrounded him, he was still delegated a quest by the system even though the Agents were not that important in the plot of Marvel Universe. They were not even shown in the movies and webseries he had watched.

'Maybe the system gives me a quest whenever I am in danger or whenever I am facing a important character in the Marvel world with a hostile intent?' Harry thought but decided that he needed a few more experiments to guess the pattern of quest assigning function of system.

If he could control this function even a bit, then he could become stronger even more quickly.

'Well that's only possible if the system had left some kind of loophole,' Harry thought though he knew that his chances are quite low.

Harry shook of all his thoughts as he got ready to fight Deadpool. Internally he also thanked the man for his help and promised that he won't beat him much.

The tension in the air grew thick as Daredevil took a defensive stance, his heightened senses on high alert. Harry's confident smile was replaced with a focused expression as he prepared himself for the impending battle.

In a split second, Harry lunged forward with lightning speed, his fists clenched and ready to strike. Daredevil barelydodged his first few punches. If not for his heightened senses allowing him to anticipate Harry's movements, Daredevil would have definitely been hit now.

But in Harry's eyes, the heightened senses of Daredevil were nothing great.

After awakening his chakra and weeks of training, his constitution has already evolved a level above the normal humans.

Although Daredevil had heightened senses, his physique couldn't keep up with his heightened senses.

What's the point of being able to sense am attack coming towards you, if you aren't able to counter, block or dodge it?

Harry didn't feel the need to use any E level Ninja techniques in the battle. If Daredevil had bought a gun with him, he might have, but Daredevil was just fighting using his cane.

As Harry continued his onslaught of attacks, Daredevil countered with his own acrobatic and skilled martial arts moves. His cane sliced through the air, deflecting Harry's blows and delivering precise strikes of its own. The two combatants moved with such fluidity and grace, it was like watching a deadly dance unfold before their eyes.

But Harry's physical strength and speed were unmatched, and he soon began to wear down Daredevil's defenses. Using his Lead style Taijutsu, he delivered powerful kicks and punches that sent Daredevil staggering backward, struggling to keep up with Harry's relentless assault.

As the battle raged on, Harry saw an opportunity and swiftly reached for a kunai at his side. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the sharp blade hurtling towards Daredevil. The sound of metal meeting metal rang through the air as Daredevil expertly deflected the kunai with his cane, but it was enough to momentarily distract him.

Seizing the opportunity, Harry closed the distance between them and delivered a devastating blow that sent Daredevil crashing to the ground. The impact reverberated through the air, the force behind Harry's attack leaving Daredevil disoriented and vulnerable.

With a triumphant smirk, Harry stood over Daredevil.

"I warned you," he said, his voice filled with a mix of satisfaction and adrenaline. "I don't go down without a fight."

Daredevil, though dazed, refused to stay down. But before he could do anything, Harry held a kunai near his neck, causing Daredevil to halt his movements.

Daredevil's forehead was covered with sweat as he knew that if he made any movement now, Harry wouldn't hesitate to slice his neck.

Harry withdrew his kunai, having already sent the message to Daredevil that he wasn't a pushover. If he had wanted to, he could have easily killed him, but he didn't.

"Have a good night," Harry muttered and vanished from the valley after using the Body Flicker Technique continuously.

As a thanks for helping him, Harry left the fate of the robbers in Daredevil's hands.
