Chapter 102: Defenders Alliance
"We want you to set up an organization yourself." Coulson looked at Luke and said slowly.
"Can I know why?" Luke asked with some confusion.
Then Coulson told Luke about the establishment of SHIELD. After listening, Luke frowned and asked: "SHIELD is so powerful, why do you want me to set up an organization?"
"Because of Hydra, remember the World War II I told you about? Although Captain America successfully defeated the leader of Hydra, Red Skull, because of SHIELD's Paperclip Project, Hydra rested inside SHIELD. Now almost half of the people are Hydra people. The most important thing is that we can't tell who is Hydra and who is ours, so we can only rebuild our power from scratch."
"So that's the case, no problem, but will you provide funds and equipment?"
"Of course, I'll give you this card and this share transfer contract."
Luke took the card and looked at the transfer contract at the same time. He was surprised to find that the share transfer contract transferred 1% of the shares of Stark Group.
"This..."
"Yes, this is the money we provided. There are 10 million in this card, and with this 1% of the shares, you can get about 100 million or even more every quarter. All this money will be deposited into this card. All the money will be used to develop your organization. As for the equipment, I'm sorry that we can't provide it, because once we provide it to you, Hydra may know your existence, so you can only figure it out on your own."
"I understand, I also know some people who should be willing to join the organization I founded."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Remember, you have never seen me."
After saying that, Coulson left. Luke looked at his back until he disappeared from his sight, then he looked down at the bank card, and then used the money in it to buy a building in Hell's Kitchen and used it as a base.
After decorating the place, Luke came to a detective service center. When he opened the door, he found that it was full of wine bottles. A girl was lying on the sofa, pouring wine into her mouth from time to time.
"Jessica."
"Burp~ Luke, why are you here?" The girl asked with a burp.
"I have formed a Defenders League. I want to invite you to join us?"
"Oh, others don't know me, don't you know me too? How can I join? I am still under his control. I don't want to hurt the people around me." The girl said with a smile, but although she was smiling, her eyes were full of sadness.
"I have a way to get you out of control."
Hearing this, the girl instantly became energetic. She looked at Luke and asked, "Are you sure you are not lying to me?"
"I promise I can really help you get out of control."
"Okay, I'll join. What's the name of your organization?"
"Defenders League!"
After dealing with Jessica Jones, Luke continued to look for the teammates he needed, and the one he found was also an old acquaintance in Hell's Kitchen, that is Daredevil.
"Matt, I have something I want to ask you for help." Luke came to a law firm in Hell's Kitchen and shouted.
"Here, Luke, don't shout." A blind man came out with a cane in his hand and said.
The two came to the rooftop, and Luke didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Matt, I want you to join the Defenders."
"Defenders? What is that? A low-profile version of the Avengers?" Matt said with a frown.
"No, we are different from the Avengers. Although we are all superheroes, we are more like a hobby. No one can morally kidnap us. If we want to help, we will help even if no one says so. If we don't want to help, we won't do it even if we are scolded."
"Well, although it sounds good, I refuse."
"In that case, I invite you to become the legal advisor of our Defenders. Do you think it's okay?"
"Do you have the money to hire me?" Matt asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, I still have this little money."
"Okay, I'll join."
"Here is the address. I hope you can come and report as soon as possible." Luke handed Matt a Braille business card and left.
Then Luke found the old man with the stick. After all, he had met the old man with the stick a few times. But the old man with the stick really started to enjoy his retirement life now. He didn't want to fight anymore. However, he owed Luke a favor and didn't want him to leave without success, so he recommended Daniel to him.
"He is just a child. It depends on you whether he can join or not."
"Thank you, old man with the stick." Luke bowed to the old man with the stick and then left.
Luke took Daniel's address and went directly to him, but he didn't expect that his other target was also here.
"Hello Daniel, I am Luke Cage, I am here to invite you to join our Defenders."
"Defenders, why haven't I heard of you." Daniel asked with his head tilted.
"We are a newly established organization."
"Is that so? But I am still a student who needs to learn. I may not be able to go on a mission in time. Can you tolerate it?" Daniel asked.
"Of course."
"Okay, I promise you." Daniel agreed readily. This straightforward attitude even made Luke a little unbelievable, but he still left the address to Daniel and looked at the security guard beside him.
Luke came to the security guard and shook his head helplessly, saying: "Eric, how did you get to this point?"
"There is no way. The blood clan attacked the vampires, causing the number of vampires to drop sharply. They hid completely. Even I couldn't find their location, and I didn't have much money, so I had to work to support myself."
Eric's real name is Eric Bruce. Of course, this may not be familiar to everyone. His other name is well-known to everyone, he is the Blade Warrior.
"Why not join our Defenders Alliance? There are wages, subsidies, not much work, and many holidays."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, do you want to come?"
"Let's go, I don't want to do this kind of work for a long time."
In this way, under Luke's call, the first generation of Defenders Alliance was finally established. The members are tentatively scheduled to be Wonder Man-Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Daredevil-Matt Murdock, Iron Fist-Daniel Rand, and Blade Warrior-Eric Bruce.
After returning to the Defenders base, Luke and Jessica began a major renovation, tearing down the interior of the building from scratch, and hiring designers to design rooms and some public spaces for them according to everyone's ideas. With the help of money, the base was soon renovated, and they also held their first Defenders meeting.
