Chapter 30: 30 - Perfect Disguise
"Weasel, get me a cappino." Derrick, wearing sses, sat at the bar in Sister Margaret''s and called out to Weasel, who was busy cleaning sses.
Weasel looked up and noticed the change in Derrick''s appearance. He couldn''t help but wonder, "Are you somehow myopic and kept it a secret?"
"No."
Derrick pushed his sses and exined solemnly, "This is just my perfect disguise."
Weasel was speechless, "Do you think you are Superman? Is wearing sses a disguise?"
"You don''t believe my skill?" Derrick was not happy, his perfect disguise was questioned after all.
"Nonsense, if this can be called a disguise, wouldn''t a woman be required to get a stic surgery every time they want to use makeup?" Weasel''s voice was a little uncontroble and suddenly found the long-haired woman standing on the right side of the bar staring at him, he then said embarrassingly, "O-Oh, Vanessa, this is just a metaphor. I have no ill will towards women who wear makeup."
''Vanessa?'' Derrick turned his head and nced at the long-haired woman standing nearby. It turned out that she was the girlfriend Wade had been walking about all along.
But it seemed like Vanessa didn''t know that Wade was still alive and Wade also hid himself, scared of meeting her with his new face.
Derrick turned his attention back to Weasel and spoke with confidence, "If you still don''t believe me, how about we make a bet? I bet that my disguise is foolproof. And as proof of my confidence, I offer this cappino as my wager."
"Yes alright, but how do youplete this bet?" Weasel became interested.
Derrick looked around and then saw a bearded man passing by.
"Hey, Buck."
The bearded man heard someone calling his name, and looked at Derrick suspiciously.
"Who are you, do we know each other?"
"It''s me," Derrick said as he took off his sses.
"It turned out to be you, rice guy. I almost didn''t recognize you! How''ve you been?"
"..." Weasel was speechless, standing behind the bar.
If he remembered correctly, Derrick and Buck seemed to have met each other a few days ago.
"Well, I admit that this is a disguise but I can''t deny that Buck is indeed a little blind either."
Weasel took out his precious coffee powder with some distress and made a perfect cup of cappino for Derrick.
Putting the coffee in front of Derrick, Weasel handed out a ck card at the same time and jokingly said, "Now now, your poprity is very high, Mr Fifteen Million. I can''t help but be tempted by this."
Derrick picked up the ck card and found that the content on it was actually about himself.
{Targets: The Punisher, and an unidentified Asian}
{Contents of themission: Two people sabotaged the important deal between the Scorpion organization and the Russian Ross gang. One of them is the punisher, the criminal killer, and the other is an unknown Asian, suspected to be Jackie Chan, no confirmation yet. Killing or capturing the two can get 15 million US dors. Information, ording to the degree of effectiveness to give a part of the reward.}
"The information on this reward has just been updated. I didn''t expect you to be rted to THE Punisher." As an information dealer, Weasel naturally knew the famous deeds of Frank.
"It was an ident, bruh."
Derrick didn''t expect that Frank''s identity would be exposed before him.
In other words, now Frank was facing the threat of all the bounties alone, which was equivalent to standing in the eye of the storm. The temptation of 15 million USD was very big, there was no idea how many beasts this would attract.
Derrick took a sip of coffee and asked Weasel, "Has the investigation about what I asked started?"
Weasel nodded.
"You''re right. There seems to be a problem with thatmission. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the frozen warehouse was rented just two weeks ago. It''s likely a temporary trading location. Other than the person in charge of the transaction that night, there should not have been more than a few people who knew about it in advance."
"So, my employer is one of the insiders?"
"Yes."
Weasel scanned the bar and confirmed that no one was paying attention to him. He then lowered his voice and said, "ording to my guess, this employer is likely to be someone higher up in Hell''s Kitchen."
Derrick frowned, "Hmm, the other gang''s backer was Kingpin. Wait a minute! You mean it''s either Kingpin or the leader of Russia''s Ross gangs?"
"I heard that the leader of the Ross gang was going crazy, searching the city for the whereabouts of the punisher, but there seems to be no movement from the other side..."
It was obvious enough what Weasel meant and what he had concluded.
Derrick''s face contorted with disbelief. "Kingpin was my employer!?" he eximed, his mind racing with the implications of this revtion.
"This is just my guess. But, If this is indeed the case, I advise you to try not to show your face. Kingpin is not a very kind person. He is much crueller and stronger than you can imagine."
Although Weasel knows that Derrick was special and has the same healing Ability as Wade, the thing was, hisbat experience wasnon-existent. He could only deal with some small-time gangsters.
Derrick pushed his sses again and said solemnly, "Just trust my disguise."
Weasel was once again speechless.
Weasel looked at Derrick with an expression that conveyed his frustration with having to answer the same question repeatedly. ''To be honest, judging by the fact that there is no information about Derrick in the bounty, it''s safe to say that his disguise really is exceptionally well done.''
Weasel then leaned back and returned to his normal tone, "However, yourmission is considered to bepleted, a total of 100,000 USD. Do you want to convert it into cash?"
"No, I''ll exchange it all."
Derrick drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp and then took out a list from his pocket, "I want to buy the above items, deduct the cost from my money."
Weasel nced at the list and quickly saw the key points, which made him very surprised.
"Do you know how to modify guns?"
"I understand them a little."
