Chapter 10 : Punisher (I)

On sunny noon, in Luna Park, Coney Island, New York, Frank Castle, who was drinking Coke in front of the stall, looked at Bert walking down from the sports car, and exaggeratedly said: "Wow, what did I see, the vampire appeared during the day?"

"I'm no ordinary vampire now!"

Bert laughed and hugged Frank, while Mercury stayed in the sports car. After all, she was not immune to sunlight. The glass of the sports car has a special coating to isolate ultraviolet rays.

Bert apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm a little late, several senators have been pulling me to chat, asking questions, I have to socialize!"

"Senator?"

Frank glanced at the Lamborghini next to him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are rich. To be honest, the Rolls-Royce that came to pick us up this morning surprised me!"

Bert smiled and said, "It's nothing, this is my reward for saving the world!"

"You made me almost believe it, really, just a little bit."

Frank naturally didn't believe it. He thought of something and sighed, "Watch fewer movies. In the real world, heroes often don't end well."

"It seems that Instructor Castle has a deep feeling for me."

Bert smiled and said, "Don't talk about that, instructor, did you have a good time just now?"

"Very happy, thank you for inviting our family to play here!"

Frank smiled and said, "However, how much money did you give those employees? I think they were too enthusiastic. They played with us the whole time, and they pushed a car and followed us all the time."

"Not money, I own this place as I have shares!"

Bert smiled and said, "If you are free after a while, I will take you to Universal Studios on a private jet, which is more interesting than here."

"Have shares, a private jet? It seems that you are really rich."

Frank was a little surprised, but he didn't ask more, because he thought that Bert should have inherited some inheritance. He asked straight to the point: "Bert, is there anything you want me to do?"

Bert didn't talk nonsense, he said, "I want to ask you to be a personal bodyguard!"

Frank was stunned: "Ask me to be a personal bodyguard?"

"Yes, personal bodyguards, vampires can't see light during the day, I need human bodyguards."

Bert nodded and said, "I can give you a million-dollar annual salary, and various benefits!"

"Million as annual salary?"

Frank was a little surprised. This was several times more than his salary as a trainer. To be honest, he was moved.

"Yes, there may be a salary increase in the future."

Bert smiled and said, "Instructor Castle, you have two children, so you should be under a lot of pressure, right? I believe that this job will not disappoint you!"

Parents here in America, although they don't need to prepare a house for their children, must prepare tuition fees, especially college tuition fees, which are a mess!

Speaking of this, Frank was a little embarrassed. He also knew that he needed to save money, but he was a soldier and was used to spending money.

Even so, Frank thought about it and chose to refuse, he said: "I prefer to stay in the army, Bert, if you want a bodyguard, I will introduce you to a friend of mine, his name is William Russo (Billy Russo)!"

"I know him, but I don't like him!"

Bert shook his head, turned around, and gestured to Mercury, who threw a yellow file bag at him from the car!

Frank was a little speechless, what kind of secretary is this, to throw things at the boss like this?

"She's a vampire and can't get out of the car, I'm already looking for a human secretary!"

Bert raised his hand to catch the document bag, then handed it to Frank, and said, "Here are some things I found, you can look at it when you get home, So as not to affect the current mood! "

Frank was a little confused, but he still took the file bag and said, "I'll contact you after I've read it!"

Bert said, "Well, instructor, don't mind me having dinner together? I just met your wife and children!"

Frank smiled and said: "I can't ask for it, Maria said it before, I want to thank you personally!"

Then, Bert and Frank's family went to the restaurant for dinner. Frank's wife, Maria Castle, was a very gentle woman, and their pair of children were also very cute. They kept calling him uncle.

Looking at Frank, who was so gentle to his family, without the appearance of a strong man on the battlefield, Bert sighed secretly: "Tough men are tender inside! It is because Frank loves his family deeply that after they die, he will turn into an Antihero. The Punisher, fortunately, the tragedy of that life will not be happening!"

Soon, the lunch ended in a happy atmosphere. Bert has something to do in the afternoon, so he said goodbye in advance!

"Wait for the summer vacation, I'll take you to Universal Studios!"

Bert waved to Frank's children, started the sports car, and disappeared from the sight of the Castles with a roar!

Maria turned around and asked Frank curiously, "Frank, you know such a rich friend?"

"Former employer!"

Frank thought for a while and said that the other party wanted him to be a bodyguard. Maria was very surprised: "One million annual salary? I didn't expect our Frank to be worth so much."

"Are you underestimating me?"

Frank pretended to be dissatisfied, he hesitated and told the other party of his decision. Although Maria was a little disappointed, she still said: "You can decide for yourself, I will always be on your side!"

"Thank you!"

Frank hugged Maria gratefully. With her and the child, he owns the whole world!

...

In the sports car, Mercury asked Bert: "Blood God, in your current status, there is no need to personally recruit a bodyguard, right?"

Bert said: "He is different. If he is fully prepared, he can destroy Deacon Frost's entire team!"

Mercury didn't believe it: "You are talking about Superman, not human!"

"Don't talk about this, what about the afternoon's itinerary?"

Bert didn't explain much, how could Mercury understand the power of The Punisher? That is the highest value of ordinary human combat power!

Compared with his combat power, Punisher is more powerful in commanding ability, which is why Bert wants to invite him - what Bert wants is not a bodyguard, but a commander!

"We have already talked with S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. came over in the afternoon to exchange prisoners with us. In addition, they have already returned some of the companies and funds they took away."

Mercury said: "According to estimates, we can get back about 70% in the end!"

Bert said: "70%? Not bad, it seems that Director Fury is not as blackhearted as I thought. I thought I could only get back about 30%."

"It should be to see Ms. Carter's face, of course, it may be two people acting."

Mercury said that as she is still a little hostile to Carter, no, it should be said that she is even more hostile. During this time, their pure-blooded power and interests have been continuously deprived by the other party!

The ability of this woman is quite terrifying!

Bert said lightly: "Carter did a good job!"

Mercury didn't say much. Pureblood's plan to use Wang Bert as a puppet can already be declared bankrupt. Whether it is Bert or Carter, they are not easy to catch!

The location of the exchange of prisoners was in the underground parking lot of an abandoned factory in Hell's Kitchen (Clinton District, Manhattan Island).

The leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. for this exchange, And in addition, will also join the vampire police station as the deputy chief! Melinda May.

"Welcome!"

Bert and Melinda shook hands and then asked someone to open the door at the stairway and let out the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. All these agents looked good, and obviously, they had not been abused.

When Melinda saw this, she turned around and signaled. An agent opened the door of the bus and the vampire captives came down.

The eighth-level agent John Garrett walked up to Bert first, and said badly: "Blood God, we will meet again, but not here, but in S.H.I.E.L.D. when the time comes, I will personally greet you!"

Bert smiled and said, "I will go to S.H.I.E.L.D., remember to prepare some tea at that time. I won't drink any tea below $10,000!"

"You can just drink gold!"

John Garrett complained, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Bert, but when no one noticed, he and Bert exchanged glances, and everything was silent!

Melinda said with a stern face: "Sir Garrett, Director Fury asks you to report back to S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately!"

"Understood, I don't know how many reports to write this time!"

John Garrett scolded angrily and walked towards the SHIELD bus with a group of prisoners. At the same time, the vampire prisoners walked towards Bert and others with three points of confusion and seven points of surprise!

Mercury immediately brought people up to meet them, on the one hand, to reassure them, and on the other hand to explain the current situation to them, lest they be disrespectful to the Blood God!

This blood god is not easy to mess with.

"You S.H.I.E.L.D. have gone too far. Look at them. All of them are pale and their steps are vain. They are abused by you."

Bert rebuked dissatisfiedly: "I'm quite good to you people from S.H.I.E.L.D., they didn't have to worry about food and drinks, look at Garrett, he is getting fat!"

John Garrett stumbled and almost fell, and turned around and gave Bert a hard middle finger!

Melinda is also speechless, isn't it natural for a vampire to be pale? Is it a problem to have a ruddy face? She said coldly: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to Director Fury to complain!"

Bert nodded: "Good suggestion, Mercury, remember to write a complaint letter!"

Melinda didn't bother to pay attention to Bert, and asked, "The prisoners have been exchanged. Next, who should I contact to learn about the vampire police station?"

"Blade is on the third underground floor. You can take your people to find him. Recently, Many vampires causing problems and I need you to work with him."

Bert said, "Melinda, although you and I have different positions, we both hope that the world will be peaceful, and I hope you won't let me down!"

"Since I took over this position, I will naturally perform the corresponding duties!"

Melinda said coldly, what did she think of, and asked, "This is the headquarters of the vampire police station you selected?"

"Yes, right here, the vampire police station will be built underground, which is not only safe but also very convenient. In addition, a factory will be rebuilt on the ground, and vampires will be called to work!"

Bert nodded and said, "By the way, does your S.H.I.E.L.D. have any tax-free channels? It's very taxing to open a factory in the city! It's better to get me some subsidies! Look at what I do, the big deal is to give you some rebates for S.H.I.E.L.D., we are now considered partners! "

"Rebate?"

Melinda became more and more speechless. She didn't know how to complain, so she turned around and left, and went to the third underground floor to find Blade to report!

"Sure enough, I still need to discuss this kind of thing with Nick Fury. That guy is very interested in rebates!"

Bert shrugged. At this moment, Mercury walked over with a group of prisoners. Although these prisoners had complicated expressions, no one dared to stab them. They shouted in a respectful voice, "Thank you, the Blood God, for saving us!"

Bert said: "You're welcome, Mercury will tell you the changes during this time, you have to remember that times have changed, now is my time!"

The vampires looked at each other in dismay, and finally, under the sign of Mercury, said in unison, "Yes, Blood God!"

"Go back and rest!"

Bert waved them away, and he took mercury to a cafe on the edge of Hell's Kitchen - also the property under his name!

Bert looked at the long-term rental apartment opposite through the glass and asked, "Have you bought that long-term rental apartment?"

"I have signed a contract with the owner, but there are many tenants in it, so it's hard to deal with it!"

Standing in the shadows, Mercury said: "We talked to them, but few were willing to move, and legally they have the right to live until the end of the contract. I suggest some extra tricks, the people inside are not good anyway, either alcoholics or gamblers and prisoners. "

"They don't move out because they can't afford the rent elsewhere!"

Bert said: "Buy another long-term rental apartment and move them in. In addition, everyone should pay more compensation."

"That would cost us a lot of money!"

Mercury said: "Blood God, why do you have to buy this apartment as the headquarters of the Blood God Group? Hell's Kitchen is a better place than this!"

Bert said: "The energy(chi) here is good. In short, buy it as soon as possible, then demolish the long-term rental apartment and build our group headquarters!"

The word 'chi' Bert, said in Chinese, and mercury was confused: "Chi? What is that?"

"You don't need to pay attention to it. In short, do as I say. As for money, don't worry about it. I have more money!"

Bert said that the long-term rental apartment is where the keel is located. Is it good for chi?

"You are indeed not short of money. I will find a lawyer to settle this matter as soon as possible."

Mercury agreed, and then, she took the laptop to Bert, pointed to the resume on it, and said, "Blood God, this is the secretary I'm looking for you, all of them are from the Familiar family, you can use them with confidence!"

"Laptop? The technology in this world is quite chaotic, Tony Stark has used holographic projection, and smartphones are not yet fully popularized! By the way, is there Twitter now? Should I acquire it? It will be especially good in the future.!"

Bert took over the computer and carefully read the resume above. When he turned to the third resume, he couldn't help but be surprised!

Bert pointed to the red-haired wavy beauty on his resume, and asked Mercury with a speechless expression, "Is this woman also of the Kazakh family?"

Mercury glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Natalie Rushman, she is indeed of the Kazakh family. She has several degrees and is proficient in fighting. She is the best in this group!"
