Chapter 102 Match

 

TL: Kyous

 

Fisk Tower.

 

Within the spacious and luxurious office, Kingpin was taking a deep puff of the cigar. Sitting behind his desk, he let out a cloud of white smoke.

 

“Nordril, still no news from Bullseye?”

 

Nordril the Butler, who was standing by the side, bowed respectfully, “No, sir.”

 

“Then, Bullseye must be in a predicament.” Kingpin took another puff, releasing several clouds of white smoke, “It seems like I’ve misjudged this El Tech Company. They’re capable of dealing with Bullseye.” Kingpin took another puff once more, closing his eyes in contemplation.

 

Nordril, by the sides, understood the meaning of silence is golden, therefore remained silent.

 

Some time went by and Kingpin heaved out a sigh, breaking the silence of the office, “Investing, lending, every method were turned down by El Tech Company. Nordril, tell me, what should be our next step?”

 

Following Kingpin for a while, Nordril was clear about the upcoming development and certain which words were the correct ones. He hastily responded, “Then, asking them in person is the only choice left.”

 

Kingpin grinned, as though encountering something amusing and ordered, “We shall do that then.”

 

……

 

It was afternoon. At the testing ground of El Building’s basement.

 

Donning a stylish jet-black Viper armor, Leo was standing opposite Bucky, preparing for the match.

 

Besides the two of them having a match, not far away by the side were Peter and Matt, acting as audiences. Matt was dragged by Bucky to support him while Peter was dragged by Leo to join the fun. Meanwhile, Leo had already informed Bucky that Peter was Spider-man.

 

According to the usual flow, before this kind of match began, it was inevitable for exchanges among the audiences to highlight the prowess of the main characters. But, Matt and Peter were butting at each other, playing the game ‘who talks first is the dog.’ Thus, a certain mastermind was helpless against it and could only focus his attention on the upcoming match.

 

“Bucky, are you ready?”

 

“Ready when you are.”

 

No referee was on the scene. The moment the duo was prepared, it was the start of the match.

 

Darting at Leo, Bucky was preparing to have close-quarter combat. Leo, too, wished to test the adaptability and strength of the armor in actual combat. So, naturally, he wouldn’t avoid it.

 

Bucky swung his metal arm while Leo, with no intention of dodging, swung his fist too.

 

BANG!

 

Leo was pushed back three meters while Bucky three steps.

 

The Viper Armor was different from the Mark Armor. Every power of it came from its power source. Since Leo had the inferior Super Soldier Physique, he would use it to his advantage too.

 

Under the control of the Neural Transmitter, Viper perfectly coordinated with Leo’s body. Therefore, the Viper Armor’s initial objective was to support and strengthen Leo’s power.

 

Despite having the augmentations from the inferior Super Soldier Physique and armor, compared to Bucky, Leo’s strength was a notch under Bucky’s. As expected from the capability of the Super Soldier Serum. Every modified person came out being a monster with surprising strength.

 

The duo retreated a few steps, stabilizing their body before charging at each other, demonstrating the exchanges of skills.

 

This was a match, not a death match. Bucky was testing Leo’s prowess while Leo happily complied, testing the overall performance of the armor.

 

Therefore, a flurry of punches and kicks occurred while countering each other’s moves. The match was akin to an exhibition of dances.

 

Being the first time watching Leo and Bucky’s combat skills, Peter watched with engrossment. Ever since he was bitten by the spider, mutations occurred and granted him a powerful constitution. Able to release Mutated Spider Silk, wall-climbing and it seemed to be powerful. It was adequate in dealing with third-rated thugs.

 

However, he was similar to the old Matt, an unorthodox fighter who was void of any combat knowledge. If he met a combat master like Bucky and chose not to flee, being beaten into pulps was his only option.

 

Nevertheless, Peter had an advantage over Matt, which was having a good temper and acting humble to the point of excessive.

Therefore, the thoughts of requesting teaching in fighting from Leo or Bucky naturally occurred in his mind.

 

Leo and Bucky’s match continued as Peter widened his eyes and never once did he blink. Meanwhile, his body involuntarily shivered and his arms and legs slightly trembled, as though learning seriously.

 

Matt, next to him, noticed his movement and subconsciously turned his head to ‘look’ at him. Matt never intended to sneer, it was a complete subconscious action.

 

But the two of them were still butting at each other and even more so lack of any verbal communication. Peter was slightly embarrassed and stopped the actions of his hand, deciding to silently visualize it in his mind.

 

Suppressing his excitement, Peter was prepared to wait for the end of the match to hastily request teachings.

 

The match had gone on for a while and Bucky had a clear understanding of Leo’s prowess. To his surprise, he realized Leo’s combat techniques were quite similar to his and even had hints of familiarity beneath them.

 

However, Leo had deliberately masked his movements. Besides, to familiarize himself with the armor, Leo’s style of combat changed by a huge margin. So, Bucky failed to recognize Leo’s combat style originated from him.

 

Simultaneously, after Leo completed further tests of the armor’s overall performance, he decided to not fight conventionally. He was prepared to utilize some of the tricks of the armor.

 

The biggest advantage of Leo donning the armor was the lack of blind spots from A to Z. Akin to mastering external master arts, it was needless to dodge any vital attacks.

 

So, he didn’t have to worry about dodging and was able to concentrate on his fierce attacks. Resembling the transformation of a magical girl, Leo instantly transformed from a tortoise to a tiger.

 

Bucky failed to comprehend Leo’s abrupt change of combat style and was hammered several times by Leo’s fist. Nonetheless, Bucky wasn’t a sitting duck, relying on his hard skin, Bucky tanked a couple of Leo’s punches before thrusting his fist squarely on the unevasive Leo’s chest.

 

As mentioned before, the Viper had a bulky chest. But, not to worry, this punch didn’t crush the Viper’s chest. Instead, it sent Leo flying and crashing onto the ground, leaving a seven meters trail on the ground.

 

Bucky’s strength was off the charts, literally creating miracles through force.

 

This punch made Leo realize Viper’s flaw, which was the inadequacy of the shock-absorbent lining. If the person within the Viper wasn’t Leo and it was a person with an ordinary constitution such as Tony Stark, it was certain his inner organs would be crushed by the momentum of this punch.

 

It was a wonder how the future Tony built his Mark Series Armor with such an impressive shock-absorbing interior. That itself must be a black technology on par with the miniature Arc Reactor.

 

Leo, who was in the armor, was fine since his body was far stronger than ordinary people’s. 

 

But the armor wasn’t fine at all!

 

The punch just now wrecked a part of the Neural Transmitters and processors in the armor, leading several parts of the armor to lose their function. For example, the emitter on his chest was unable to emit any beams and the two tentacles in front of him malfunctioned too.

 

It was evident, there was still room for improvements in the armor’s shock-absorbing system.

 

Of course, this punch of Bucky didn’t immediately tear Viper apart. Right now, Leo was still capable of maneuvering. The power supply, his four limbs, and the tentacles on his back were still functioning as usual.

 

“Leo, what’s wrong? Did your armor get broken by my punch? Hah.” Bucky was still caressing his left arm, gritting in pain. Leo’s punch just now had an unimaginable momentum behind it. But, seeing Leo plopping on the ground for a while, he was overjoyed.

 

Leo stood up from the ground and exercised his arms and legs as if nothing happened, “The armor is broken by you. Look, a bit of paint on my chest was scraped off by you.”

 

He intentionally provoked Bucky and as expected, Bucky charged at him again. 

 

Seeing Leo still alive and kicking, Bucky was certain that the punch just now didn’t affect Leo by much. He was reassured by it and prepared to let out another punch at Leo, venting his stress.

 

This time, Leo remained on his spot as though going to clash heads-on with Bucky.

 

However, the moment Bucky arrived right before Leo, four tentacles suddenly appeared from Leo’s back, viciously whipping at Bucky.

 

Bucky hurriedly blocked his face with his metal arm. The next moment, four heavy forces blasted into him, destabilizing him and prompting him to crash to the ground.

 

Before Bucky could even stand up, not even removing his metal arm away from his face, he sensed a blob of gooey stuff plastered on his body, tightly wrapping him. Exerting his force, he broke free from the binding and noticed the binding on his body was the same as the white stuff bound on Bullseye.

 

“Did Spider-man help to cheat?!” This was Bucky’s immediate thought when he saw the white spider silk. As he convinced no one else on the scene was able to shoot webs.

 

While Peter, who was watching by the side, also noticed the white thread was similar to his own webs. A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

 

Peter couldn’t resist asking happily, “Is that the web shooter? I can’t believe it was developed that fast!”
