American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

202. Bullseye’s Judgment.

Bullseye carefully watched the video while analyzing and comparing the information with his own intelligence. The targets consisted of three people, two men and one woman, all appearing to be young.

The destructive power resembling She-Hulk, Jennifer, combined with immense strength, strange sorcery, and incredible technological artifacts, along with superhuman speed—everything seemed to align perfectly in that moment.

Bullseye stared at the phone screen as if he were gazing at a rare treasure.

Blood Baron was astonished by Bullseye's current state. He had never seen Bullseye act so obsessed over something. Perhaps only during his years of battling Daredevil had Bullseye shown such an expression. However, Blood Baron was merely surprised. He didn't want to have too much interaction with Bullseye. This old madman was incredibly strong, and after betraying Red Skull, getting involved with him would only spell trouble.

Bullseye's defection was initially top secret, known only to those within Hydra, but after Red Skull put a bounty on him, countless mercenaries on the Wasteland, eager for the reward, began hunting him.

Blood Baron had no doubt that if news of his contact with Bullseye got out, he would face severe consequences. At the very least, Red Skull would not let him off the hook. Therefore, he only hoped that Bullseye would leave as soon as possible. But clearly, Blood Baron underestimated how seriously Bullseye took his pursuit of prey.

Regarding the sudden emergence of the Justice League, only a select few knew that 'they' didn't belong to this world. Those who realized this fact included only Red Skull and his confidants.

When Red Skull first discovered that helmeted time-traveler, he secretly sealed off any information related to these heroes from another universe. Even Bullseye was unaware of their existence.

Currently, most people believed that this so-called Justice League was a new hero organization formed in the Wasteland, similar to the gangs that adopted superhero names. They had no idea what incredible secrets lay beneath the surface.

Bullseye was one of them, except he considered himself the first to discover the existence of these superheroes. After all, he had been tracking these 'three individuals' for quite some time. Seeing those three immensely powerful superheroes decimate Osborn and his villainous alliance with overwhelming force, Bullseye's heart surged with excitement. This was what he wanted; this was the battle he had longed for!

The thrill of deadly combat, the sensation of dancing on the edge of a knife—these feelings were exhilarating. It had been years since he had fought a true superhero.

After the initial surge of excitement, Bullseye forced himself to calm down. Emotions were always the primary culprit in clouding judgment.

He meticulously observed the figures in the video, completely forgetting about Blood Baron next to him. He just sat there silently, time passing until Blood Baron could no longer endure it. Suddenly, Bullseye's eyes lit up.

"Something's not right!"

"Not right? What's not right?"

Blood Baron, who had been about to send Bullseye away, was slightly stunned. He walked over to the window, opened it again to feel the cool night breeze, and sat on the windowsill, puzzled.

Ignoring Blood Baron's actions, Bullseye continued staring at the screen, muttering to himself.

"One's missing... No, something doesn't add up. Have I walked into some sort of trap? But that's impossible; no one else besides me should have been able to anticipate the existence of these people. But it doesn't make sense..."

"What are you talking about?" Blood Baron hesitated, then asked again.

Bullseye snapped back to reality at Blood Baron's words. He glanced at Blood Baron, then looked back at the three figures on the screen, still feeling that something was off.

"I told you, I've been tracking these people for some time. Before this, they remained in the shadows, hiding themselves and carrying out unknown plans.

They operated in sync with Hawkeye, one in the light and one in the dark. I almost fell for their deception, but fortunately, I detected their presence in time. However, what I can't figure out is why they would suddenly expose themselves when they could have continued hiding."

Blood Baron's gaze wavered upon hearing this. Unlike others, he, as a direct participant, knew the truth behind all this. But it was precisely because of this that Bullseye's doubts caused an instinctive reaction in him.

He still vividly remembered the first time he encountered Alex. There were indeed three of them, but to be exact, the three people Alex was with were completely different from the three illusions of the Justice League they created. Since Bullseye had been tracking Alex and his companions, it meant he must have also discovered something unusual.

"The Orb and the beast that died in agony, along with Nefaria drained of his power—they chose to expose themselves here, which can only mean one thing: there's something crucial here that they need!"

With that, Bullseye suddenly turned to Blood Baron by the window and asked, "Where are Osborn's bodies?"

"Dr. Doom took them, not one was left. If you want to see them yourself, I suggest you head to New Latveria. Sneaking into Doom's domain shouldn't be too difficult for you," Blood Baron replied dryly.

Bullseye was momentarily stumped. His eyes darted around as if considering the feasibility of this idea, but in the end, he shook his head. "It's pointless. By the way, I remember you were on the scene, right? Tell me, after those three killed everyone, what exactly did they do?"

"Well..." Blood Baron hesitated.

"I hope you won't lie to me, John. It won't do you any good," Bullseye said, narrowing his eyes. The playing card in his hand glinted with silver light, making his threat unmistakably clear.

After a moment of consideration, Blood Baron decided not to argue with the old madman. He slowly began to speak.

"You're right; this has nothing to do with me. Those people were after the Asgardian power in Lorelei. That's all there is to it. Are you satisfied now?"

A long silence followed. Bullseye stared at Blood Baron for a long time.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Baron."

Bullseye smiled, lightly tipped his hat, and bowed to Blood Baron. He then turned and walked past Blood Baron.

"I don't want anyone to know I was here."

With that, Bullseye leaped from the windowsill, disappearing into the night. Watching Bullseye vanish, Blood Baron felt a sense of relief. He lightly tapped his fingers rhythmically on the windowsill. Although Bullseye's departure was a good thing, Blood Baron still felt troubled.

Shifting his gaze, Blood Baron rolled up his sleeve and looked at his arm, where a crow tattoo was prominently displayed. This was the contract Alex had placed on him, and it also served as his token for contacting Alex. Whenever he wished, he could initiate a conversation with Alex at any time.

After hesitating for a while, Blood Baron glanced in the direction Bullseye had disappeared, then pulled his sleeve down to cover the tattoo. He closed the window, and the room returned to silence.

Tomorrow would be a new day.
