The next day.

Central Park.

In the woods behind the playground.

More than a dozen bodies of gang members lay scattered in pools of blood.

Frank warily surveyed his surroundings, meticulously cleaning up the traces he had left during the fight.

Just a few minutes ago, still feeling uneasy, Frank had used the excuse of buying ice cream to leave his family and quietly slipped into these woods to investigate, following his memory.

Who would have thought that a group of gangsters would actually be gathered here.

However, their attire was slightly different from what Frank had seen in his illusion last night.

But what was strange was that these gangsters seemed to be waiting for someone to appear.

They were all craning their necks and looking into the distance.

The reason for saying this was that one of the men was holding a photograph in his hand.

Revenge?

Or…

After adjusting the angle several times.

Frank, as a tactical sniper for the Marine Corps, used his extraordinary eyesight to finally see the figure in the photo clearly.

It was a family portrait of the four of them!!

Obviously, the reason these gangsters were here was no coincidence.

They were here specifically for his family…

Frank couldn't help but recall the illusion he had seen last night.

No!

He absolutely couldn't allow that to happen!!

Frank, burning with anger, was filled with murderous intent.

Using a silenced pistol and a combat knife, he cleanly and efficiently killed all of them!

Although he wanted to know who was behind it all and how they got the photo of his family.

To avoid being discovered by passersby, he didn't leave anyone alive to interrogate.

But it didn't matter.

He already knew where he could get the answers he wanted…

After cleaning up, Frank walked out of the woods with a relieved expression.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he bought three ice cream cones and returned to his family.

"Honey, what took you so long? Was the line long?"

His wife, Maria, asked gently.

"Yeah, it seems particularly crowded today…"

Frank smiled and handed the ice cream cones to the children, then pulled his wife into his arms, sharing the remaining cone sweetly, taking bites from each other.

Looking at the happy expressions on his wife and children's faces, Frank's heart had never felt so warm and full!!!

…………

……

Night fell.

Karl appeared in the restaurant on time.

He was greeted by Frank, who had been waiting for a long time.

Before the other party could speak, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you successfully saved your family."

Frank's eyes flashed with shock upon hearing this.

His first thought was that the other party was secretly following him.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

He must have used his "foresight" or "mind-reading" superpowers to see the outcome, right?

Calming his mind, Frank said sincerely:

"Sir, thank you very much for your previous reminder, otherwise I would have lost my beloved family forever today. I sincerely apologize for my recklessness last night!!"

Karl waved his hand and said meaningfully, "It was your choice that saved you and your family, and it also proved your worth."

Undoubtedly, yesterday's reminder was a test that Karl deliberately gave to Frank.

Although the Punisher was famous.

But if he chose to escape in this matter, or failed to solve those gangsters well.

Then it would prove that he was not worthy of being recruited!

Even if Frank managed to escape with his family, Karl would not appear to meet him again.

Because what he needed was someone who could stand alone, dare to face difficulties in the face of crisis, and possess far superior courage, martial arts, and intelligence than ordinary people!

And just this one requirement was enough to filter out ninety-nine percent of the candidates!

Fortunately, Frank didn't disappoint him!!

Then, Karl changed the subject and continued to ask, "Do you want to know what the follow-up to yesterday's illusion was like?"

"Ah?!"

Frank felt like he couldn't keep up with the other party's erratic thinking.

But since he mentioned that illusion, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He really wanted to see what the follow-up would be like, so he nodded heavily and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Karl narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange memory that didn't belong to him immediately appeared in Frank's mind.

……

The scene followed the attack in the park last time.

After encountering that attack, Frank, who was seriously injured, simply treated his injuries in the hospital and began to collect information in his own way, and finally successfully identified the murderer who killed his wife and children.

It's just that.

He naively thought that the law could give him a fair result.

But who would have thought that those gangsters would spend a lot of money to hire a well-known team of lawyers.

Successfully found loopholes in the relevant regulations and escaped the punishment they deserved.

When he saw the group of gangsters walking out of the courtroom with smiles on their faces.

Frank felt completely desperate for this judicial system that always touted "fairness and justice."

He then realized that the 【rule of law】, 【democracy】, and 【equality】 that those politicians promoted during the election were all just lies!

So, he decided to seek justice for his wife and children in his own way…

【If you are guilty, you must die】!!!

After transforming into the Punisher, all criminals appeared on his must-kill list.

……

"Hoo…"

After regaining consciousness, Frank breathed a long sigh of relief to calm his fluctuating emotions.

Without a doubt, if he really suffered such unfair treatment as in the illusion, he would definitely transform into the Punisher who used violence to control violence.

His family is the most important thing in the world!!!

Even if it means being the enemy of the whole world.

He would use his own hands to send those criminals to hell!

Fortunately, because of Karl's appearance, this tragedy did not happen in the end.

His and his family's fate had also changed because of this.

Therefore, Frank's gratitude to Karl was beyond words.

Looking down at the family portrait he had searched from the gangsters.

Frank seemed to have made some decision in his heart, and said with a very solemn expression:

"Sir, please tell me the truth of the matter, for this… I am willing to pay any price, even my life."

There is no free lunch in the world.

Just the reminder last time was already a great kindness to Frank.

So even if Karl wanted him to assassinate the president now, he would not hesitate to do so.

Very sensible!

Karl had already understood the other party's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Very good, there is only one condition, and that is to swear allegiance to me and become my subordinate!"

"Also, by the way, let me correct you, to be precise, I am not a superpower, but a dimensional demon!!"

What is a dimensional demon?

Well, it doesn't matter what it is.

Frank said without hesitation: "No problem, as long as I can completely eliminate the source that threatens the safety of my family, I am willing to swear allegiance to you!!!"
