The reason why they were the culprits and not the attackers was that these people hadn't attacked Luke and Selina's five-story nest at all.
The two hundred or so mercenaries had only taken control of the apartment building next door. The large construction machinery behind them immediately started tearing down the building.
But when they demolished the building, they didn't care about the environment at all. When this old apartment building was violently demolished, part of it cracked open and leaned toward Luke's nest. Then … it leaned against Luke's nest.
Luke's pitiful five-story nest was like a bullied elementary school student.
Thankfully, the apartment building next door only had seven floors, and wasn't far away. The moment the stairs tilted a little, the nest held them in place.
If it really did collapse, Luke's specially reinforced nest wouldn't collapse with it, but a lot of small places would definitely need to be rebuilt.
Luke wanted to curse at this outcome, but he didn't think he could say anything.
That was because the mercenaries who had controlled the apartment building with live ammunition and then used the large construction machinery to tear it down had definitely been called over by the Hand.
During this period of time, the Hand had already cleared out a passage in the big pit, and they were only waiting for the entire underground stone treasury to be taken out and transported away.
Luke and the apartment building were next to the Hudson River, and there was a barge parked by the river.
Now, the Hand just needed to move the stone treasury dozens of meters away, hit the barge, and go out to sea. Everything would be settled.
In America, it was common to use boats and trailers to move villas and buildings. Moving a stone treasury wasn't too far-fetched.
As long as the Hand controlled the stone treasury, they could slowly figure out how to open it.
Luke had confiscated the stone treasury because he wanted to use it to fish out the remaining three "Fingers" of the Hand.
This was the three old monsters' only hope to live for another few hundred years.
The "Fingers" of the Hand were guys who didn't want to increase their combat strength after obtaining the power of the dragon, and instead used it to live forever.
He didn't think that the remaining three "Fingers" could resist the temptation of living another five hundred years.
As it turned out, they couldn't resist, but they weren't that stupid. They had chosen a good time to take action.
Since the three major districts of New York were in chaos, few people cared about where the construction machines were going when the operation started tonight.
Most people would think that it was a rescue vehicle that had been transferred into the city.
Those who delayed their actions would be taken by the more than two hundred armed mercenaries of the Hand and killed in secret.
The relocation of the treasury was expected to be completed in an hour, so the mercenaries didn't need to worry too much about the aftermath.
However, the better the plan, the crueler the reality.
The three "Five Fingers" of the Hand, who had planned this operation, certainly did not expect that someone would place the "dragon bone" next to them, knowing full well that there was a "dragon bone" in the stone treasury, just to lure them into the trap.
There were so many accidents in New York tonight. It wasn't that Luke had outsmarted himself, but he was still unhappy that he had almost shot himself.
Thus, a certain someone didn't even use his Batman alias. The King of Black Pots, Big Dipper, directly appeared.
The so-called King of the Black Pot was naturally because the Big Dipper Hand was even more black. Otherwise, where would the black pot come from?
Luke didn't have his clone use the stealth function at all. The black-and-white skull in the Big Dipper armor raised his guns and charged into the apartment building.
How strong was Luke, who had no scruples or pretenses and was only here to kill?
This was something that even he himself did not know.
Ever since he obtained the system, almost all of his actions had a strong and subjective purpose.
This also meant that every time he made a move, he would have to consider a lot of things.
Consider the beginning, consider the process, consider the end.
He couldn't attract too much attention from the relevant departments. He couldn't create too much chaos. He couldn't make the purge public and let the government track him down.
It could be said that he had never used his full strength before.
Even when he was fighting Mephistos, he had only used his trump card, but it was not to the extent that he had not used all his techniques.
Until today, when the combination of the Star of Justice clone and Big Dipper, the King of Black Wok, was officially revealed, and he was up against the Hand, which could not be exposed to the public, he no longer had any scruples.
Amidst a series of gunshots, Big Dipper's black and white silhouette flitted through the apartment building's entrance like a ghost. The two Glocks in his hands were aimed at the heads of the four mercenaries at the entrance.
The four mercenaries were shot without any reaction and fell to the ground.
The seven or eight mercenaries who were standing at the entrance of the apartment building were suddenly alarmed. They looked at the entrance, only to see a blurry black and white silhouette float past them. The rhythm of gunshots was uneven but didn't stop for a moment.
One by one, the scattered mercenaries blacked out and died on the spot.
Luke had already rushed into the tunnel like the wind and was heading straight for the Stone Treasury in the pit.
In fact, apart from a group of mercenaries guarding the entrance of the apartment building with its back facing the Hudson River, the rest of the Hand's mercenaries were basically at the back.
This was also a transport tunnel that they had demolished the building to make.
The series of gunshots in front immediately alerted the mercenaries at the back.
On the other hand, the mercenaries had set up two sniper squads on the rooftops to the left and right of the apartment building to keep watch and control the situation.
Unfortunately for them, Luke had activated his stealth system, and had gone to the rooftops as soon as he could to make the four mercenaries vanish from the face of the earth.
It had only taken him ten seconds to charge through the front door and into the pit.
The mercenaries were caught off guard when bullets rained down on them.
Most of the mercenaries didn't even know where their opponents were before they blacked out and their heads exploded on the spot.
The King of Black Wok didn't need to hide his marksmanship when he went all out! If he could kill an opponent with one shot, he wouldn't deliberately waste a second bullet.
This was the first time Luke had gone all out in a head-on confrontation, and he felt extremely comfortable.
Ambushes, sneak attacks, and sneak attacks didn't exist at all!
Relying on the combination of Physical Outburst, Muscle Control, Quick Reflex, and Gunfighting, as well as four times the physique of an ordinary person, Luke's clone instantly burst out with terrifying firepower.
He was always one step ahead of the mercenaries in front of him, and he was always one step ahead of the mercenaries' random shots.
Seven Star wouldn't be the first to make a mistake like "a good catch is better than an accurate shot."
The mercenaries in the apartment building didn't look like elite teams at all.
Whether it was an ordinary member, a super strong leader, or an expert who specialized in shooting and fighting, they could only end up with their heads blown up in the face of flying bullets.
Most people's dynamic vision couldn't keep up with Luke, who was moving at an explosive speed. They could only see a black and white shadow drifting here and there. The continuous gunshots were getting closer and closer, and their companions were killed one after another.
Just like that, thirty seconds after the battle at the gate, the Hand mercenaries in the apartment building were completely destroyed.
