Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Aftermath
Jason endured the pain and followed Frank's steps to leave here. If he didn't walk faster, something bad would happen. This time he made such a big noise, the police would probably be back soon.
But Jason didn't know that in order to ambush and arrest him, the Stanich family had already caused some trouble for the New York police in other places, so that the police would not pay so much attention to this side.
Jason followed Frank through three blocks and then came to the entrance of a sewer. Frank motioned Jason to follow him. Then Frank dived into the sewer entrance.
Unlike the small sewers in China in his previous life, the sewers in New York City are very wide, and even trains can run in them. Jason followed Frank into the sewers. Although the smell was not very pleasant, it was still bearable.
After walking along the sewer for about 20 minutes, Frank asked Jason to go through a side door next to the sewer with him. After entering, there was a room full of pipes, which seemed to be the central control sewer system of a certain building. After walking around for an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at their destination.
This seemed to be a temporary stop for Punisher Frank. Frank asked Jason to sit on a low chair at the side, and he took out a first aid kit from the corner.
"Why did you save me?" Jason asked the question in his mind.
"It's good to have a sense of justice. I've gotten to know you these days, the Night Walker of the Sixth Block." Frank said as he tore open the packaging of the first aid kit. "But you got involved in something you shouldn't have gotten involved in. It was originally my business, but you got involved inexplicably."
Frank took out the bandage and hemostatic spray from the first aid kit and motioned Jason to take off his shirt. "Wait? I don't quite understand what you're saying. What do you mean by meddling in your affairs?"
Jason lifted up his shirt, and Frank first disinfected his wound with alcohol, and then sprayed him with hemostatic spray a few times.
"Remember the armed robbery you stopped that day? The one who robbed a young and thin man." Frank helped Jason bandage his wound and answered after a while.
"He is a member of the Stanich family, and the one I have been hunting for. Because you appeared there that day and were seen. So the Stanich family believes that you are related to me."
"The Stanich Family?" Jason knew little about the underground gangs in this world, except for superheroes and super villains.
"Young man, it seems you don't know who you are provoking." Frank also bandaged Jason's chest to prevent secondary injuries.
"The Stanich family is a group of social scums. They are capable of committing murder and arson. As long as they are paid, they can sell their souls to Satan." Frank has completely bandaged Jason's wound.
"No matter what your purpose is, I suggest you not to go out and do justice in the near future. Your little trick is very effective and makes people unable to see your face. This is a good habit. Hide yourself at all times and don't let your guard down!" Frank drew his face with a finger pen and approved of Jason's way of bewitching others so that they couldn't see his face clearly.
"I will finish off the Stanich family. You'd better be on your guard recently." Frank patted Jason and motioned Jason to follow him. He was going to send Jason out.
"May I ask what grudge you have with the Stanich family?" Jason asked a little bit.
"I don't think you want to know." Frank looked at Jason deeply.
"Remember to stay alert!" Frank took Jason to the nearest exit, which was close to the edge of Brooklyn. Jason identified the direction and left quickly.
Jason slept until noon due to last night's fatigue. Everyone else in the family had gone to work, leaving him, a high school student on summer vacation, with nothing to do.
He turned on the TV and switched to the news channel. He saw the news broadcasting what happened last night. "A serious gang conflict occurred in the 6th Street District in Queens last night and this morning." The reporter on TV reported with a serious face. "The two sides of the gang conflict fought fiercely in the 6th Street District. The police found a total of thousands of abandoned bullet shells at the scene."
"Fortunately, no civilian casualties have been found so far. According to the investigation, one party in the conflict is the Stanton Gang, a gang entrenched in the Sixth Street District. The other party in the conflict is speculated to be the notorious Stanich family."
Jason suddenly became interested in the news he was watching. How did it become a conflict between the Stanich family and the Stanton Gang?
"According to sources, a large number of Stanich family members poured into the Sixth Street District in Queens last night and attacked the Stanton Gang." Then the TV screen showed the attacked area. Many businesses of the Stanich Gang, including the Wild Swan Bar, were destroyed.
"It is still unclear how the conflict arose. The conflict has caused the deaths of about 40 members of the Stanton gang, and more than 15 members of the Stanich family have also died, according to sources." Jason suddenly remembered Frank's last words.
He was going to clean up the mess?
What was he going to clean up?
"There was also a special deceased at the scene. The police confirmed that he was a mutant with special abilities. It is still unknown what role the mutant played in this conflict. We have invited the famous..."
Seeing this, Jason turned off the TV. He hated the nonsense of some famous experts. They said things that sounded true even though they knew nothing. Jason now strongly suspected that Frank was actually the one who destroyed the Stanton Gang.
Frank is capable of such a thing!
Although Frank is also a hero in memory, he is a dark hero, very different from other heroes.
His famous saying is: You are guilty, so you deserve to die. Killing dozens of gang members is as common to him as going to the supermarket to buy milk.
"It seems like I really need to keep a low profile recently!" Jason touched his still aching chest, glanced at his wildly growing reputation value in the system, and whispered.
At the same time, outside New York, in a building of the Homeland Security Strategic Defense Counterattack and Logistics Support Agency, the one-eyed director Nick Fury was watching the Queens news on TV.
"According to the information sent back by our people, this is most likely done by the Punisher Frank Castle." As Nick Fury's deputy, Agent Hill was reporting the intelligence he had obtained to Nick Fury.
"Frank previously attacked several bases and underground trading places of the Stanich family. This conflict seems to be related to the Night Walker that suddenly appeared in the Sixth Block." Agent Hill said. "Do we need our people to stop Frank's actions?"
"This is the FBI's business, and there's no need to waste our resources on those Stanich bastards. As long as Frank doesn't attack civilians, let him destroy the Stanich family!" Nick Fury gave the order. "As for Nightcrawler, we'll have to wait and see."
"The Stanton Gang has been completely wiped out, and the fifteen good men we sent over are all dead." Hank reported to Franco Stanich with a dry throat.
"And this morning our warehouse on the Hudson River was also attacked, and all twenty members died. All the goods worth $6,500 were burned. We don't know whether it was done by the Night Walker or the man in black. And the other party left a message, and it is very likely that they will continue to retaliate against us!"
Bang!
Franco picked up the desk lamp and smashed it against the wall. Panting, Franco Stanich finally calmed down after a long time.
"Go find those guys! No matter what the cost! I want the bodies of these two guys in front of me!" Franco roared angrily.
The aftermath of the Sixth Block has just begun to spread!
