Marvel Ninja God - Chapter 30
At first, Roger thought that Obadiah was quite generous, so he didn’t even think about it and wrote a cheque for ten million dollars.
But after hearing Obadiah’s words, he took back his previous evaluation.
Ten million dollars a year, this salary was indeed an astronomical price that only existed in the imagination of ordinary people.
But for him, this price was simply an insult.
So he didn’t even have the interest in answering Obadiah. He just shook his head.
After Obadiah left, Roger handed the check in the drawer to Erica and said, “Go and cash this check. use the money in it for the office’s operating expenses.”
Erica was stunned after hearing what Roger said.
A few days ago, Roger just gave her a bank card with five million dollars.
It had only been a few days, but now Roger gave her a check for ten million dollars. The reason was the same as before, the operating funds of the office.
Although Erica was unsure what Roger was thinking, she was now very sure that Roger did not open this firm to make money.
After Erica left, Roger picked up a newspaper on the desk and read it out of boredom.
The date of the newspaper was the latest. This was prepared by Erica.
Although Erica didn’t have any assistant experience in the past and didn’t even have decent work experience, she still worked hard to learn how to become a qualified assistant.
Of course, if being a ninja was a part of the job, then her experience is quite rich.
Roger originally planned to read the newspaper to kill time, but a report in the newspaper attracted his attention.
“Chrysler Building’s biological laboratory was invaded in the middle of the night. Fifteen security guards died!”
Chrysler Building?
Could it be that this was done by Frank the Punisher?
Thinking back to the scene of Frank the Punisher mysteriously appearing in Chrysler Building last night, Roger was even more confident that he was the one who had invaded this time.
After setting up the three challenges with the Punisher, he had been waiting for the Punisher to act.
However, the Punisher seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter. He had no intention of attacking him at all. He was not even interested in getting close to the office.
Although he did not know what the Punisher was planning, Roger was not worried about his safety at all.
If he were that easy to sneak up on, he would have died in one of those retaliations.
Just as Roger was considering whether he should let Erica bring back some Chinese food along the way, the door to the office was pushed open again.
The person who came in was not a client but a courier in a federal courier uniform.
“Are you Mr. Roger? There’s a parcel for you here.”
It was normal for a courier to send a parcel to the door.
But after hearing the courier’s words, Roger immediately felt something was wrong.
There might be many people who knew his office address, but none of them would send the express delivery.
Roger appeared in front of the courier in a flash. He directly took the package and then opened the package with the Kunai he carried with him.
“Sir, you haven’t signed yet. You don’t…”
Before the courier could finish speaking, he saw the time bomb counting down in the box. It was a time bomb less than three minutes away from the explosion.
“I won’t sign the name. If you don’t want to, you can take it back.”
After hearing Roger’s words, the shocked courier finally returned to his senses. He shook his head and ran away without looking back.
After seeing the time bomb, Roger’s first reaction is thinking.
“The Punisher sent this bomb.”
But after thinking about it, he felt that the Punisher would not attack him in such an ungraceful way.
Just as he was about to bring the bomb to ask the Punisher personally, he saw the newspaper he had casually placed on the table.
An almost instinctive idea instantly appeared in his mind.
…
After sensing Flying Thunder God’s Formula, Roger, carrying the bomb, appeared in front of him.
The Punisher did not show any surprise at Roger’s arrival, as if he had already expected his arrival.
Seeing the bomb in Roger’s hand that was only a few seconds away from exploding, the Punisher took out a remote control and pressed the red button on it.
The moment Punisher pressed the button, the timer on the bomb instantly returned to zero.
There was no explosion, no fire, only smoke like a prank.
After the timer returned to zero, white smoke sprayed out from the hidden hole in the bomb and a Christmas song rang at the same time.
In the cheerful rhythm of the Christmas song, the Punisher stood up from his chair and silently walked to Roger, taking the prank bomb from his hand.
“This is a prank bomb I bought in a toy store. I gave this to you because I wanted you to come over personally!”
The Punisher’s tone was very calm as if he was joking with Roger.
Roger did not speak, only silently looking at the somewhat abnormal Punisher in front of him.
“I have seriously considered your proposal last time. I asked you to come here to tell you my decision.”
The Punisher said as he walked. He went directly to the refrigerator in the corner of the room, took out two bottles of beer from it, and then casually threw a bottle to Roger.
After receiving the beer that the Punisher threw, Roger found a chair and sat down.
He wanted to hear what decision the Punisher made.
The Punisher did not tell Roger directly but sat on a bunk bed not far from Roger.
“This is an abandoned cargo ship. The owner of this place was originally a Russian gang. After punishing them, I felt that this place was quite good, so I built this place into a secret base of mine.”
After saying that, the Punisher opened the beer in his hand and drank a few mouthfuls in silence. Then he continued, “Although the environment here is not good, the good thing is that it is quiet and no one will disturb it.”
The Punisher seemed to be recalling something. When he said these words, a hint of gentleness appeared on his face.
Looking at the Punisher’s current appearance, Roger did not know what to say for a moment, so he could only continue to act as an audience.
In the next few minutes, the Punisher continued to speak, but he never mentioned his decision.
He did not know if it were because this was a cargo ship cabin, but Roger felt a little stuffy.
To ease this uncomfortable heat, he had to open the cold beer in his hand and drink a few mouthfuls in silence.
