Chapter 123 - 119
It can be said that misfortunes never come singly, and for Kingpin, the troubles were far from over.
During the day, Hell's Kitchen appeared no different from any other New York neighborhood. People bustled about, going to work, shopping, and running errands. Under a large billboard stood Bloody Mary, tall and striking, dressed in a black jacket with scarlet-red hair flowing over her shoulders. Her dark, edgy appearance, combined with her morbidly delicate beauty, made her an eye-catching figure.
To those unfamiliar with her, she might seem intriguing. But those who knew her quickly turned pale and avoided her. When Bloody Mary lost control, the results were always disastrous.
Her face was unusually rosy, and her intense, beautiful eyes held a strange affection as if she were waiting for someone.
A few moments later, a luxury car approached and stopped beside her. The door opened to reveal Kingpin, dressed in his usual suit, sitting inside. Gripping his cane with both hands, he turned his head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Mary, I'm very surprised by your decision. I never thought you'd be the first to leave me."
Indeed, Kingpin was shocked and angry that his most loyal lieutenant had asked to leave him. Bloody Mary, who had always been a trusted and powerful ally, was now walking away. Her abilities were formidable, and she was perhaps even more trusted than Bullseye. Losing her would be a major blow to Kingpin.
"I'm going to find him," Bloody Mary said bluntly, making her intentions clear. Her loyalty to Kingpin had vanished, and she now regarded him as a stranger, her impatience evident.
Kingpin knew exactly who she was referring to. He also saw the deeper reason behind her shift in attitude. Among her many personalities, the most violent and cruel, "Bloody," was in control, followed by her other adventurous, violent side, "Typhoid Mary." These personas allowed her to fully utilize her dangerous abilities. The other, more peaceful or cowardly personalities lacked the power to bring out her full potential.
