MUP: Chapter 65. Trap

With the advantage of flight, Jessica was the first to arrive at Matt's location.

Matt, who was dressed as Daredevil, was surrounded by the Hand's ninjas.

Jessica frowned and was about to go down to help.

Bang –

A fierce fight was heard from the rear, followed by the sight of the Hand's ninjas darting around not far away.

When she looked down, she saw Ah Xing's figure in his red sweatshirt.

Facing the encirclement of the Hand's group, Ah Xing, with his Mighty Steel Leg's strong strides, regrouped with Matt.

The last one to arrive on the scene, Luke Cage, first looked up at Jessica. He retracted his gaze, looked at the large number of ninjas in front of him and stretched his body from side to side. Finding Matt's location, he walked through the crowd of ninjas, ignoring their attacks.

Looking at the Defenders who came one by one, Jessica couldn't help but smile slightly. She then fell from the air and joined the battle.

Luke shook off a ninja that tried to grab his waist and glanced at Jessica, and Ah Xing, who joined Matt first, "Sorry I'm late."

Blocking a slash from a ninja in front of him, Matt slightly backed up and joined the three, "No, you're just in time."

Turning her head to look at the ninjas that were densely surrounding them, Jessica raised an eyebrow, "I think they like us. They prepared a 'warm' welcome."

"Not just a welcome."

It was a hoarse and sharp voice.

Matt tilted his head. He recognised the voice, "Madame Gao."

The group saw the ninjas surrounding them opening up a path. Madam Gao walked in, still walking slowly on her cane.

"This is the big evil boss we're supposed to deal with?" Jessica furrowed her brows as she looked at Madame Gao, who appeared in front of her. She was surprised and asked Matt, "An old lady who needs a cane to walk?!"

Aside, Luke didn't speak, but his expression was quite surprised.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance." Seeing Madame Gao again, Ah Xing revealed a serious look. He told Luke and Jessica, "She injured Matt with one palm. Even I'm not sure I of winning against her."

"If I'm not wrong, Madame Gao should be one of the five leaders of the Hand. She's immortal."

Ah Xing and Matt's caution made Jessica rapidly curb her contempt. Especially the second half of Matt's remark, which made her wary.

"It seems that you guys know more than I thought you did."

When she heard Matt point out her ability to live forever, Madame Gao's expression slightly changed. She collected her smile and said, "I was negligent. The many years have made me overly complacent, to the point of forgetting the most crucial aspect. As the saying goes, a thousand miles of embankment was destroyed by an anthill."

"What's she talking about?"

The second half of Madame Gao's saying was spoken in Chinese, and no one knew the meaning except for the clone.

Jessica frowned and subconsciously turned her head to look at the Asian face with the same dark hair as Madame Gao and asked.

"She's saying that we're ants."

Ryan answered Jessica's question with a rather simple explanation.

Nodding her head, Jessica looked back at Madame Gao. She stretched her neck and said, "Then tell her I'm not an ordinary ant. I can bite, real hard."

"I understand English, little girl." Facing Jessica's provocative words, Madame Gao looked up and answered.

"Little girl?!"

Madame Gao's words made Jessica raise her eyebrows.

"You may think you're strong, but in my opinion, it's all just a disguise to cover up the painful wounds of your past, the memories you've been trying to forget but never could."

"What the fuck do you know?" Madame Gao's words obviously touched the memory Jessica has been reluctant to recall. She looked even more agitated.

"I know more than you think." Seeing that, Madame Gao smiled.

Madame Gao wasn't just randomly saying things. The Hand was a global organisation that developed the ninjas as spies, a large pipeline of information. Even if the organisation hadn't been developed for too long in New York, it was still able to dig out information that wasn't available to ordinary people.

"You know where Killgrave is, right?! Tell me! Where is he?"

"Jessica ..."

Luke frowned at Jessica, whose emotions were a little out of control, "Don't let her get to you."

However, it was clear that his words didn't help.

Under Madame Gao's provocation, Jessica had completely forgotten the purpose of their mission and recklessly rushed toward Madame Gao.

However, Madame Gao's expression didn't show the slightest bit of panic when faced with Jessica, who was rushing toward her.

She gently lifted the cane in her hand, turned her hand and swept it forward. Jessica, who had charged forward, fell backwards as if struck by an invisible force.

Raising his hand, catching the flying figure, Ah Xing stomped his Mighty Steel Leg on the ground, carving out a deep footprint to counteract the tremendous force from Jessica's body. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and say, "Look, I told you she wasn't easy. Why are you impulsively rushing forward? "

"Sorry."

Compared with Matt, although she was also attacked by Madame Gao, it was obvious that Jessica's physical resilience was much more powerful. She hadn't been knocked out by the blow. Instead, she snapped out of her previous emotional turmoil.

'If it weren't for the fact that the power to maintain immortality is gradually weakening ...'

After seeing Jessica was still unharmed after taking a blow from her, Madame Gao couldn't help but regret it in her heart.

Like the old man had told her in Midland Circle Financial, the power of immortality was fading.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only person the Hand sent to the port.

On a shipping container, a man in black tights appeared, staring at the Defenders who were surrounded by the Hand.

"Kingpin asked me to bring you a 'precious' gift."

As the man's voice dropped, the container suddenly opened from the inside. A group of figures, very different from the Hand's ninjas, came out of the container.
