In his high-rise apartment in New York City, Jason came out of the bathroom all wet, wrapped himself in a gray robe, and stood with a glass of whiskey in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the night view of Manhattan from above.
The towering office buildings were lit up, the roads were clogged with cars, and the hum of pedestrians passing by was relentless.
What a noisy and lively scene.
On the big screen in the square, a news anchor in a blue-and-white-striped suit was telling the breaking news with a calm face.
«According to our sources, the military will seek to acquire the Jericho missile, the latest advanced weapon developed by Stark Industries, to…»
Jericho missile?
Jason took a sip of whiskey and then desperately searched his mind for memories of what was there in the plot of the Iron Man movies.
Stark Industries had a top executive who seemed to be the villain in the movie, didn't they?
It's been so long that memories from his past life have all but been forgotten.
Jason Walter was born on October 15, 1981, in the slums of West Midtown, Manhattan, New York, a neighborhood that also has the alias Hell's Kitchen.
His father was a gang member in Hell's Kitchen, his mother worked as a clerk in a nearby store, and he was the only child in the family.
Because of his father, Jason's childhood memories are filled with gangs, guns, violence, and the like.
It also led to him becoming a very eccentric person who did not fit in any way with the children around him.
His family's life was so poor that at age eight he took to the streets to steal food, at age ten he began beating up his classmates and taking their money, and at age twelve he robbed passersby with a 9mm pistol.
When he was thirteen, his parents were killed over a conflict with some gang, and after that he completely let go of all control of himself, and soon found himself in juvenile detention for deliberately assaulting and injuring a person.
Upon his release from prison at the age of seventeen, Jason joined a small gang in Hell's Kitchen, and because of the skills he acquired in prison, he quickly rose to prominence in the gang.
Shortly thereafter, aspiring Wilson Fisk made him an offer, which Jason gladly accepted, becoming an ace fighter under him.
Over the next ten years, Jason's fierce fighting spirit led him to step over the bodies of his enemies and eventually become Fisk's right-hand man.
With a car, a house, savings, a pretty face, women, and hundreds of men in his charge, Jason at the age of twenty-seven was finally a winner in this life.
However…
Jason looked at the big screen in the square, where a pretty woman reporter was interviewing the as always arrogant Tony Stark, and suddenly felt a prick of powerlessness and weariness in his heart.
A year from now, there will come a time when heroes are everywhere and villains are everywhere.
This planet will become the main battlefield of space warfare, and all kinds of gods will come to Earth to stamp their presence angrily.
Not to mention the fact that Jason was only the second man in Fisk's gang, even if he became a higher level, what could he do? In the eyes of the great gods of the universe, a stronger murovay is still a murovay.
Thinking about it, Jason felt his future was bleak.
[You slept with Wilson Fisk's girlfriend and got 20 points of villainy!]
«What?!».
The transparent light screen that suddenly appeared in front of him made Jason frown his eyebrows.
Is this a system that's twenty-seven years too late?
Freezing for a few seconds, he turned and looked at the large solid wood bed five feet away from him.
The sexy, yet elegant woman was sleeping sweetly, snuggled up against the down plaid, a contented smile on her face, and the mess on the bed symbolized the deep and passionate sex they had had last night.
Her name was Vanessa, and she was Fisk's girlfriend.
Who was Fisk?
He was Jason's boss.
A super-strong man who could punch through a concrete wall with one punch.
A mobster with hundreds of robberies under his belt.
The king of the underground, controlling all the illegal business in New York.
Vanessa is Fisk's favorite and only woman, and anyone who dares even whistle in her direction will find his dismembered body in a dirty dumpster early the next morning.
Jason understands the place Vanessa holds in Fisk's heart, so to this day he thinks that everything that happened earlier is crazy.
A few days ago, Fisk had a problem with his business in Los Angeles and needed to leave New York City for quite some time.
Before he left, he was worried that Vanessa would be in danger, because he had so many enemies, so he assigned his sidekick Jason to guard Vanessa.
Although Jason himself wanted to fly to Los Angeles to kill those damn bastards, but Fisk stopped him.
So Jason was like Vanessa's personal bodyguard, watching over her all day and doing whatever he could to keep her safe.
And it's worth saying right off the bat, Jason never looked at his boss's girlfriend.
But strangely enough, Jason's indifference began to get Vanessa's attention.
She began talking to Jason to improve their relationship, which developed into dining out together in restaurants, shopping together on Fifth Avenue, and going to art museums to see paintings together.
And then…
[The evil system is officially open!]
The transparent light screen flashed, bringing Jason back to reality.

The mall was filled with a variety of merchandise, and Jason had managed to browse only a small portion of it when the Nokia in his pocket suddenly rang.
The caller ID said…Fisk.
In an instant, goosebumps ran through Jason's entire body.
It was over!
Fisk found out!
No, no, no!
He was very secretive about this case, there was no way Fisk would have found out!
Calm down, you have to be calm!
«Mm~» — Vanessa moaned sweetly and rolled over onto her other side disturbed by the ringing of the phone.
Jason didn't have time to admire her sexy naked body, he hurriedly closed the speaker and left the room to pick up the phone: «Boss.»
«Jason.» — A familiar, husky voice came from the speaker.
Jason couldn't help but salivate, «Boss, what can I do for you?
«…».
«All is well in New York, and Madame Vanessa is fine.»
«…».
Jason had a bad feeling, «Boss, did something happen in Los Angeles?».
«Tell me, Jason, how did you feel when you slept with Vanessa?».
