A sudden crack of a cane echoed through the room as Jin Biao, the gangster boss, was caught off guard. Bane, startled and terrified, shouted, "What's going on? Boss Jin Bin, why didn't anyone stop Xu Mo from coming here?"
Jin Biao ignored Bane's frantic question and advanced with a massive, intimidating presence. His cane swirled with a crackling energy, demonstrating his formidable power. He attacked relentlessly, his movements precise and devastating.
His subordinates, who were supposed to guard him, were either dead or had been replaced by clones. The electric currents from Jin's attacks arced through the room, and with a powerful swing of his fist, he delivered a crushing blow.
Boom!
Jin Biao's attack created a shockwave that reverberated through the building. His immense strength caused his abdomen to collapse inward, his internal organs rupturing under the force. Edward, a witness to the horrific scene, watched in stunned silence as the two men collapsed, their bodies blown to pieces by the explosion.
"Impossible! How can this be?!" Edward gasped, his mind struggling to comprehend the carnage.
Bane, overwhelmed by fear, attempted to flee, but Xu Mo's clone intercepted him with a swift kick that exploded Edward's head. Turning his attention to Bane, the clone stated calmly, "You're the only one left."
Bane, desperate and trembling, pleaded, "I can offer anything! Just don't kill me!"
Before Bane could react further, a heavy rush of footsteps approached. The door was flung open, and the sight of the blood-soaked room and the gruesome aftermath made the new arrivals freeze in horror.
Meanwhile, Xu Mo's subordinates, who had been enjoying breakfast, were taken aback by the sudden commotion. Gale, who was seated with Xu Mo, showed no reaction, while Lorna, visibly nervous, watched Xu Mo's movements closely.
"Xu Mo, hurry up and let your clone take over," Gali urged with a mix of urgency and irritation. "It's time to focus on your comic work."
"Got it," Xu Mo responded, creating five clones in a puff of white smoke. Gali, unfazed by the spectacle, pushed a new illustration forward, while Lorna moved a small bench to snack and watch.
The clones seamlessly took over Xu Mo's tasks, allowing him to continue his work without interruption. Lorna, though initially concerned, found the clones' efficiency impressive and began to focus on her own tasks, grateful for the increased salary.
Despite the morning's unusual events, Xu Mo remained unperturbed, continuing his work while reflecting on the impact of the recent gang leader's death. The gang world was in turmoil, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was puzzled by the lack of progress in their investigations.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Coulson, were puzzled by the sudden rise in gang violence and the mysterious deaths. Their intelligence capabilities were stretched thin, unable to provide clear answers. As they tried to piece together the clues, the underworld remained in chaos, and Xu Mo continued his daily routines.
With the ongoing comic magazine releases, Xu Mo was unaware of the full extent of the turmoil he had inadvertently caused. The gangs' downfall had created ripples in the criminal underworld, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigations remained inconclusive.
As Xu Mo went about his day, preparing for the next night of his lottery, the city of New York continued to grapple with the consequences of his actions and the chaotic shifts in the criminal landscape.
