Chapter 3 You actually slapped me for this man!
After saying that, Toby didn't wait for Kingpin to answer whether he would lend it or not, and walked towards the bathroom in Kingpin's office on his own.
His familiarity with the place made him seem as at ease as if he were at home.
Kingpin didn't say anything about it, his smile remaining unchanged.
But Bullseye, standing behind Kingpin with a sinister expression, couldn't stand Toby's arrogant behavior any longer and let out a cold snort of displeasure:
"Hmph! What's with all this arrogance! You just took care of that trashy Japanese gang for the boss? I could have taken care of that bunch of scum too!"
Upon hearing this, Kingpin's amiable smile slowly disappeared, and then without warning, he slapped Bullseye across the face!
The force of the blow sent Bullseye flying, crashing into the wall and sliding down, where he lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up!
"Why...why?" Bullseye lay on the ground, clutching his buzzing head, and looked up at Kingpin in disbelief.
He couldn't believe that Kingpin would attack him, a loyal subordinate who had recently sworn allegiance to Kingpin, for the sake of a hired assassin.
Just an hour earlier, Kingpin had expressed his admiration for him!
Now, for the sake of a hired assassin, he's turned his back on me so easily!
Kingpin looked down at Bullseye on the ground and said coldly, "Why? Bullseye, this is just a lesson for you, to teach you to control your foul mouth!"
"Do you know what? If it hadn't been Toby who taught you a lesson, you'd be in the same situation as this severed head on the ground!"
"I hope this is the first and last time you speak recklessly without knowing the other person's background!"
"If this happens again, I'll personally rip your head off and make it up to Toby as an apology!"
apologize?
Bullseye stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that he would one day hear the word "apology" from Kingpin, the fearsome underground emperor of the underworld!
Who exactly is this guy named Toby?

Before long, Bullseye, still lying on the ground recovering from Kingpin's powerful slap and even harsher words, was followed by Toby, who had gone into the bathroom and was covered in blood, emerging first.
However, Toby was not wearing his red and black battle suit at this moment, but rather a clean white shirt and loose trousers.
Clearly, this was a casual outfit that Kingpin had already prepared for Toby.
Even though Toby was only wearing a simple white shirt, it couldn't hide the muscles that were faintly visible beneath it.
While Toby's muscles weren't as exaggerated as Kingpin's, which had grown to the side, they possessed a kind of artistic beauty.
To use a phrase that's been overused in online articles: perfect muscle lines like those of an ancient Greek sculpture!
Without the mask, Toby's near-perfect face was finally revealed.
With a chiseled, handsome face, deep blue eyes, and dark brown hair, it's a face that would make anyone—man, woman, or even someone who's a Walmart shopping bag—exclaim that it's incredibly handsome!
If anyone's character model is more perfect than Toby's, it would probably only be that supreme being called "The Reader"!
Kingpin turned to look at Toby, who was coming out of the bathroom, his gaze shifting from Bullseye, and a smile returned to his face:
"I like your efficient nature in everything you do, whether it's killing someone or taking a bath~"
"Toby, seriously, are you really not going to consider working for me long-term? If you join, I can double your current job pay!"
Toby remained expressionless in the face of Kingpin's high offer.
"No, I still prefer to do one job, collect one payment, and live a free and easy life. You can contact me again if you need work in the future, but don't mention soliciting me again."
"Oh, by the way, could you wash my battle suit and send it back to my home, and give me some change?"
Upon hearing this, Kingpin could only nod regretfully: "Alright, that's a real shame. I'll give you an extra million dollars for today's payment later, as an apology for the idiotic words and actions of my idiot subordinate just now."
"As for the battle suit, I'll have it washed and delivered to your home tomorrow."
As he spoke, Kingpin pulled out a check and casually wrote a 1 and five zeros on it: "Here's the change."
"Hmm." Toby nodded to Kingpin and accepted the 'change' of a full 100,000 without any hesitation.
He then glanced at Bullseye, whose expression remained defiant, and sneered:
"I accept your apology, but I really don't like this guy's hairstyle, so next time we meet, if he's not bald, I'm going to smash his head in!"
After saying that, with Bullseye's barely suppressed anger, Toby walked out the door without looking back.
However, just as he was about to step out the door, Toby paused, turned to Kingpin, and muttered, "By the way, I'm not efficient at everything, so watch your words next time."
After saying that, Toby left.
Kingpin's smile slowly faded only after Toby rode the elevator down. He glanced at Bullseye and said indifferently:
"See that, Bullseye? This guy is not only incredibly strong, even I'm terrified, but most importantly, he's extremely vengeful!"
"But a powerful person who holds grudges—that's what's truly terrifying!"
"So if you want your head back, go shave it yourself, otherwise I can't protect you, and I won't risk offending Toby, that vicious spider, just to save you..."
Hearing Kingpin's blunt words, Bullseye knelt on the ground, head bowed and silent, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingernails dug into his flesh!
Drops of blood dripped from the palm of the target's eye, mixing with the blood flowing from Okamoto Reiichi's head on the ground.
It was as if an invisible force was warning Bullseye that if he didn't do as Toby said, then Okamoto Zero-ichi's fate would truly be his future!
Kingpin, disregarding Bullseye's pride, commanded:
"I'll throw Okamoto Reiichi's head out to feed my dogs. Tomorrow, I'll take over all of the Japanese gang's territory and businesses. And starting tomorrow, I don't want to see a single Japanese person in Hell's Kitchen again!"
"Now, I'm going to be with my Vanessa and tell her the good news. She'll never have to worry about those clueless Japanese people harassing her in Hell's Kitchen again."
Kingpin may have a high opinion of Bullseye, the newly recruited elite henchman, but that's about it.
In his mind, Bullseye and Toby were not on the same level at all.
So after patting Bullseye on the shoulder one last time, leaving him the task of cleaning up the mess, he ruthlessly pushed open the door and left.
Kingpin's reason for destroying the Neon Gang was, as he himself said, simply because someone in the Neon Gang harassed his woman!
This seemingly insignificant crime was enough for this underground emperor to spend millions to hire Terry to wipe out the entire Japanese gang!
Of course, this wasn't entirely a losing proposition for Kingpin. Afterwards, Kingpin took over the territory and businesses of the Japanese gang, reaping profits well over ten million...
Bullseye scrambled to his feet, watching Kingpin's departing figure, his eyes filled with malice: "I guarantee that after tomorrow, you'll never see another neon dwarf in Hell's Kitchen!"
Clearly, Bullseye is ready to vent all the anger he suffered at Toby's hands on the Japanese in Hell's Kitchen!
He wanted to use this to prove that his Bullseye was no weaker than Toby's!
If Toby knew, he might have forgiven Bullseye for his previous offense, saving Kingpin that million-dollar apology fee.
After all, he loves destroying the little lives of his friends!
