Upon hearing this, Pain cast another glance at Kingpin.
Kingpin trembled involuntarily, taking a step back and bowing his head silently.
For the third time!
That gaze carried an immense pressure, the third time already. Though there's a saying that things don't happen three times, it seemed inapplicable to Pain's indifferent stare. It was the same expression each time, yet somehow, when projected through the Rinnegan, it seemed to possess an extraordinary power.
For ordinary people, encountering the Rinnegan was akin to a transcendence of life levels. The oppressive aura from such higher beings would make even the bravest souls tremble.
Therefore, no matter how many times Kingpin experienced it, he couldn't help but shiver before lowering his head in silence.
His reaction satisfied Pain. Inside, Wu Chen, playing the role of Pain, silently nodded. 'It seems the image I've created for the leader of the Akatsuki has been successful with Kingpin.'
Outwardly, Pain withdrew his gaze and spoke in a measured tone, "I understand your intentions. I am not one to act recklessly. If the advice is sound, I will naturally heed it."
With those words, Kingpin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Afei is right. Though mortals cannot stop the steps of a god, they can certainly slow them down."
"Kingpin, from now on, investigate whether Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze are still in New York. Once the investigation is complete, have your people leave the city."
Hearing Pain's instructions, Kingpin relaxed completely. He responded loudly, "Yes, Leader!"
After that, under Kingpin's watchful gaze, Pain opened the window and took off, flying directly out of it.
Seeing this scene, Kingpin was shocked, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps, the Leader truly is a god!"
To soar through the sky without any aid, defying the Earth's gravity—back in ancient times, such feats would undoubtedly have branded one as a deity!
At this moment, Kingpin somewhat believed that the Leader could indeed make New York and even the United States feel the pain!
After some contemplation, Kingpin swiftly issued the orders.
Elsewhere, in front of the Stark Tower, Wu Chen was enthusiastically selling his delicious crab burgers.
Although he had only been selling for just over an hour, the crab burgers were almost sold out. Despite their high price, their exquisite taste and the fact that they were being sold by a superhero attracted countless customers.
If Wu Chen were to abandon his limited daily supply and open a shop instead, he would have become rich long ago! But he couldn't be bothered. He still had to practice and figure out how to play so many roles. Money-wise, he had Kingpin and S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway.
Handing the last four crab burgers to the eagerly approaching Happy, Wu Chen packed up the cart and prepared to head home.
However, at that moment, four sets of memories flooded into Wu Chen's mind—those of Madara, Deidara, Pain, and Nagato.
After leaving Kingpin's place not far away, the four members of the Akatsuki deactivated their disguises and clones.
This method of escape ensured that even if someone were to surround them, there would be no way to catch them, let alone find the Akatsuki's base.
Question: How do you prevent enemies from finding your base?
Answer: If there's no base, then the enemies won't find it, right?
This was indeed a cunning perspective and a unique way of thinking!
Of course, Madara and Deidara wouldn't foolishly ride the white dragon and fly to New Mexico. Since Tobirama Senju and Phil Coulson had already set off, they would simply have Tobirama take them there later. In the eyes of others, Tobirama Senju and the Akatsuki were enemies, but they knew they were all on the same side—they were one family and one person!
So, there was no distinction between them.
After giving instructions to Kingpin, Pain had no reason to stay any longer and departed.
After leaving, he also had nothing else to do, so he deactivated his disguise and clone.
As for Nagato, his memories were the simplest. He had been in a desolate corner of the Divine Realm, enduring pain while drawing circles, with nothing else happening.
Even during the test with Kingpin, he remained unscathed.
The Divine Realm was indeed vast, and with the completion of the Dual Rinnegan, it continued to expand. Perhaps, in the future, it might even become another dimension or world!
After organizing the four sets of memories, Wu Chen smiled.
Things were progressing just as he had planned.
The climax would naturally come last.
So, the events with Shukaku would occur first, followed by those in New York and with the Nine-Tails.
Wu Chen's performance with his Shadow Clones had been excellent—praise was due.
So, Wu Chen praised himself in his mind, "I'm really amazing! Truly worthy of me! Wu Chen, long live! So awesome!"
Similar shameless remarks followed one after another.
At this moment, Happy ran over again, "Wu, have you finished selling the burgers?"
"Hmm?" Wu Chen nodded.
"Tony has something to discuss with you!"
