«Projecting from the time of the video, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. moved faster than us, it is impossible for them to remain hidden out of our sight.»
Skye’s head turned frantically.
«And I’ve checked the surveillance records of the nearby streets before, and no one has been here today, and I dare swear on my hacking career that the surveillance records have not been tampered with…»
«Jessica’s video was only taken yesterday, and it was intercepted very quickly by the organization. How could someone get ahead of us—»
Her thoughts came to an abrupt end, and Skye realized something instantly.
«Yes, the time for the organization to intercept the video is too fast. I didn’t feel anything at first, but now, when I think about it, it is simply too coincidental to be true.»
«Jessica’s video was not taken yesterday! S.H.I.E.L.D. had already obtained this video and contacted her in advance. Looking at Jessica’s attitude, they are not in conflict.»
«The video we got is actually bait released by S.H.I.E.L.D.!»
Skye, who had figured out everything, suddenly felt like a trapped mouse.
She wasn’t sure how many snipers S.H.I.E.L.D. had arranged to hide in the nearby buildings, or whether Jessica was also a part of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s plan.
“Hey! What are you thinking about there? Didn’t I ask you to leave here immediately?”
Seeing that Skye and Barbara remained in place for so long, Jessica felt angry.
Only a few days ago, a group of people came over and told her how dangerous she was, and that they had to take her to a place called S.H.I.E.L.D., and that they would have to use force if she didn’t want to obey them.
From her perspective, it was funny how they thought they could take her easily.
She was ready to fight with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it was a pity that she did not have to fight eventually.
Because Hell’s Kitchen’s number one saviour, Matt Murdock, was here.
With so many people coming from S.H.I.E.L.D., it would be impossible for Daredevil not to hear them.
Jessica has been living in Hell’s Kitchen for quite some time and has known Matt for a long time.
She was surprised to find that Daredevil was actually quite familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D.’s people!
Especially that he had the best relationship with one of their middle-aged men who was carrying a bow. It seemed that the two had fought side by side before.
Therefore, under Matt’s guidance, Jessica assured S.H.I.E.L.D. that she would not easily use her superhuman power in the public, and the matter was over.
As a result, after a long while, another group of people came to her door.
And they also told her the same drill: that she needs their help!
What a pain in the neck!
Jessica was very annoyed, she hasn’t slept well yet.
“I will count to three, if you don’t get out of my sight, don’t blame me for throwing you out.”
Skye didn’t even think about it, she immediately grabbed Barbara’s hand and rushed out.
At least, it is certain that Jessica is not with S.H.I.E.L.D.
“Are we leaving now?”
Barbara looked at Skye dumbfounded; she didn’t understand what Skye had negotiated for.
“Did you forget what I told you about now? S.H.I.E.L.D. had already contacted Jessica, and we must evacuate as soon as possible.”
Jessica watched the two disappear down the stairwell, yawned, and then proceeded to collapse on the couch.
“Ah, Matt should be here soon. He is always on time. Should I wait for him to come first?”
“Forget it! I better go to sleep for a while before he arrives.”
At this moment, no one noticed.
On the roof of the building, directly across the pseudonymous detective office, four S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were spying.
Three of them were working to monitor Jessica’s every move. Fury sent special surveillance agents to every superhuman he knew.
It’s just that he doesn’t tell these superhumans that they are being monitored.
At least, Jessica didn’t know that Matt is covering S.H.I.E.L.D. ‘s actions, otherwise, she would definitely make a big fuss.
As for the extra fourth agent, he was naturally established for Skye or any of the Rising Tide’s members.
“Agent Ward, the two girls have been in for more than five minutes. Do we need to act?”
An agent asked suddenly.
Grant Ward is the executor of the plan for the Rising Tide organization this time.
Although he is young, he has risen to be a level-six S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. His combat ability alone is a phenomenon among S.H.I.E.L.D.’s agents.
Simultaneously, he has a strategic mind.
“No need to move for the time being. Jessica Jones is hot-tempered and extremely easy to anger. We’d better not act rashly, since we are not sure whether she was successfully swayed by the Rising Tide organization.”
Ward pondered for a moment and declined his teammate’s proposal afterwards.
“In contrast, I care more about the person below.”
Ward turned his attention to the van parked downstairs.
“That person is Daredevil, right? We have seen him many times in Hell’s Kitchen.”
Another agent replied.
“Maybe he found out that the van belonged to the Rising Tide organization and went in looking for any clues.”
This doesn’t sound like a problem. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Matt are long-term partners, and they know Matt’s abilities very well.
With Matt’s super five senses, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to find any abnormality in the van.
In the same way, the Daredevil below should have realized that there was one extra person monitoring Jessica.
Ward had never been in contact with Matt before.
However, since a new stranger suddenly appeared, wouldn’t Matt be curious?
The number and candidates of S.H.I.E.L.D. to monitor superhumans are carefully selected, and no extra manpower will be unnecessarily assigned under normal circumstances.
The figure below was wearing Daredevil’s uniform and had a physique that was perfectly consistent with Matt’s.
But he didn’t seem to detect them hiding in the tall building.
This is a bit unreasonable.
On the other hand, Mathison did not fail to detect these people, but he thought that these four agents were sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to monitor Jessica.
He is Daredevil now; he is not in conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D. them anymore. Why would he care about what they do?
At the same time, Mathison had copied the documents, walked out of the car lightly, and then locked the door.
His lock picking skills had never failed against technology. He can restore a lock perfectly the way it was before he unlocked it. Now, that is some real skills!
His movements were so stealthy, that even Ward, who had been secretly observing him, could not see that Mathison had restored the lock.
Just as Mathison collected the USB flash drive and planned to go to the pseudonymous detective office…
Whoosh!
A familiar air-breaking sound came in Mathison’s direction.
Mathison jumped forward and successfully dodged the attack.
Looking back, the attacker turned out to be Matt Murdock!
The Daredevil himself.
“Phantom Kid, why are you in Hell’s Kitchen again?”
Matt Murdock’s first words were scolding Mathison for being here.
The uniform Mathison wore didn’t make a difference to Matt’s super senses.
So, he didn’t know that Phantom Kid was disguised as himself.
“We meet again, Attorney Murdock. Do you have to meet everyone you know with such violent gifts?”
Mathison smiled and said without a smile.
This is the second time…
