Primordial demons, beasts!
Russell doesn't know exactly which dimension the Beast is a demon of, but from the fact that the Hand Combine is still alive and kicking, the Beast should be a demon with no ambition.
Otherwise, with the bouncing style of the Hand Combine, they would have been destroyed by Supreme Mage Ancient One and Karmataiji a long time ago.
Russell remembers two versions of the origins of the Hand Hopes.
One was in 1588, when a Neonite named Kagemushin Yoshioka developed the Tekkai into an international organization, later renamed the "Serpent Roots," and began to believe in the primordial demon, the Beast, an infamous group of ninja assassins.
The other is that the Hands Hopper is a ninja assassin organization created by the likes of Kunlun's renegade Lady Gao.
Lady Gao and the others, who were disciples of Kunlun, were expelled from Kunlun for attempting to use the Dragon Bone to prolong their lives.
When they escaped from Kunlun, they didn't forget to take the Dragon Bone with them, and through the various abilities they learned in Kunlun, they created the Hand Association and became the master of the Hand Association, "Five Fingers".
Russell hadn't dealt with the Handshake Association before, but as a fellow traveler, he knew that much about the Handshake Association.
First of all, the founders of this world's Hand-Help Society were Mrs. Gao and others.
Secondly, the Handshakai here likewise believe in the primordial demonic beasts, as the Handshakai ninjas here likewise disappear into ash without leaving a trace when they are defeated or killed.
Lastly, the Tekkai ninja here are very much following tradition and only use cold weapons to cut people down.
Kim didn't rush Russell and waited patiently for an answer.
After some serious thought, Russell finally made his decision.
It was unlikely that Jin would be able to come up with a payment that would particularly move him, but he was still going to take the commission.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that there are dragon bones in the Hand Combine, and the other is because Lady Gao and the others know how to enter Kunlun.
What Jin and wanted the keel for, he didn't know.
However, he felt that since the dragon bone thing could be used to prolong his life, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with using it to strengthen his body.
Considering the fact that he had such a special girlfriend as Diana, he felt the need to further strengthen his physique.
Alas, it's not easy to be a man!
Especially with a demigod girlfriend.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but recall the image of himself propping himself up against the wall.
"This commission, I can take it. However, I want more detailed information."
"Also, in addition to the payment you gave, I want half of the dragon bones obtained!"
Russell looked aside at Jin and said slowly.
In order to avoid something not so pleasant in the future, he thought it would be better to talk to Jin and clear it up first.
"Yes!"
Kim didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
Although he knew of the existence of the Dragon Bone, he didn't know much about it.
It seemed to him that Russell wanted half of the keel for nothing more than a bit of curiosity about this particular existence.
When he lost interest in the dragon bone, he himself could completely spend money to buy the half of the dragon bone in his hands.
Finally, after some conversation, they agreed on this cooperation.
King and offered a $100 million payoff to commission Russell for one shot.
In addition to Russell, there are two other people in this operation.
Bullseye, as well as, Mr. Negative!
Neither Bullseye nor Mr. Negative are under Jin and's employ, but rather outside help that he has hired at great expense.
Bullseye, a former mercenary and now a professional assassin, possesses an innate ability to throw with precision.
He can throw any object in his hand at a target with incredible accuracy, including unconventional weapons such as cards, paper airplanes, and toothpicks.
In addition to his extraordinary throwing abilities, he is an expert martial artist and marksman with both hot and cold weapons.
Bullseye was the chief assassin hired by Jin and did a lot of his dirty work for him.
When Nightcrawler attacked Jin Jin and in the first place, if not for the absence of Bullseye, how could Jin not have been seriously injured by Nightcrawler?
It was no surprise to Russell that Bullseye would come together to execute this commission.
However, the fact that Jin and also employed Mr. Negative was a bit of a surprise.
Mr. Negative!
In the public eye, he was Martin Lee, the philanthropist who built the homeless shelter FEAST.
Little Peter's beautiful aunt, who now volunteers at this shelter.
But in New York's underworld, Mr. Negative is one of the city's biggest gangsters, the leader of the Demon Gang.
Mr. Negative was originally a member of an unknown snakehead organization, and Martin Lee was not his real name.
The real Martin Lee, a stowaway from China, died on his way to sneak into the United States of America.
Mr. Negative falsely claimed to be Martin Lee and managed to gain the sympathy of the American government and was officially made an American by receiving the Medal of Freedom from the President.
What his real name is, I guess only he knows.
With super strength and far superior physical abilities, he is a master of street fighting.
In addition to this, he can catalyze the negative emotions of his targets by releasing negative energy, causing loved ones, close friends, lovers, etc. to kill each other.
His negative energy can also be turned into energy waves for release or manifested into solid weapons, such as swords and spears and other cold weapons.
All of these superpowers of his stem from the inhumane and comprehensive drug trials that the Maggia Gang subjected him to.
The catastrophe gave him superhuman abilities, but it also gave rise to another insane personality.
It is for this reason that he hates the Maggie's gang, led by another gang leader, Hammerhead, and tries to eliminate the Maggie's gang and become the "Golden Gang" of New York's Chinatown.
In the world of comics, Mr. Negative is not a particularly well-known supervillain.
The reason Russell knows him so well is because he was the key player in making the venom into the anti-venom, the serum.
It was because of the fusion created between his negative energy and the venom that the alien of symbiotes, the anti-venom serum, was born.
While contemplating evolving Venom, Russell had already been thinking about getting access to Mr. Negative to see if he could evolve Venom into a serum.
The venom is great right now, but compared to the serum, the venom is significantly weaker.
The serum's ability to cure "diseases" such as genetic mutations and addictions is not mentioned.
The mere fact that it wasn't afraid of sound waves or flames was enough to speak for itself.
After accepting the commission from Kim and, Russell left the hotel and drove back to his apartment.
Although Jin and was now eyeing the Dragon Bones in the hands of the Triad, he had no immediate intention of striking out at the Triad.
In his own words, he still needs to make some relevant preparations.
Russell didn't particularly care what Jin and was supposedly preparing for; it wasn't a big problem for him to grab a keel from the Hand Combine anyway.
Instead, he was now looking forward to the meeting with Mr. Negative a little bit, compared to the keister, which was basically not going to be a surprise.
He now had a hunch that his venom might soon evolve into a serum.
