In the past, for Rose, the Punisher was synonymous with fear.
During this time, she had been researching information about the Punisher.
All she found were details about criminals killed by the Punisher.
The photos of the corpses were horrifying.
Some had their heads blown off by bullets, others had their brains pierced by lasers, and some even had their hearts ripped out.
The deaths were gruesome!
This had significantly reduced the crime rate in New York.
After all, under the shadow of such fear of death, no one would want to risk their lives for a robbery.
Every criminal felt as if a sword was hanging over their heads during their illegal activities.
They never knew when that sword would fall and sever their necks.
Although the Punisher's methods were brutal, Rose was convinced he was a good person.
After all, the Punisher had never harmed ordinary people.
"Thank heavens, Mr. Punisher, you're finally here."
"Otto's condition is very bad."
Peter ignored Rose and walked straight to Otto's bedside. Seeing Otto's twisted expression, it wasn't hard to imagine the mental torment Rose had endured these past days.
"Let me go, you bastard!!!"
"Do you know what you're doing? I was advancing science!!"
Peter knocked Otto out with a punch, then removed the damaged inhibitor chip from the back of his neck.
He installed the new chip.
"Alright, now we'll see if he can return to normal."
Peter walked over to the couch and sat down.
Rose hurried to pour him some water.
She asked with a hint of please:
"Mr. Punisher, if Otto doesn't wake up, then... then..."
"Then I'll kill him," Peter said emotionlessly.
He had already gone above and beyond.
Asking Stark to make the chip was something he couldn't bring himself to do again.
If Otto woke up and was still controlled by the mechanical arms, then... the best solution would be to kill him.
If Otto were conscious, he wouldn't want to live as a puppet of artificial intelligence either.
"Ah!"
Rose's face turned pale with fear, and she was visibly shaken.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
"There must be another way, no! He will wake up!"
Peter glanced at Rose.
"I advise you to prepare yourself mentally."
"That way, when the truth comes, it won't break you."
"If the inhibitor chip doesn't work, are you willing to spend the rest of your life taking care of Otto, controlled by AI?"
"This past month of suffering, you understand it better than anyone."
Rose could no longer hold back her emotions, and tears streamed down her face.
Just then, Otto woke up.
His eyes were first empty, then confused, and finally filled with fear and panic!
A mix of complex emotions rapidly swelled in his mind.
"What have I done..."
Rose rushed to his bedside, her hands caressing his face.
"Tell me, you're still Otto."
"I am Otto, I'm sorry, Rose, I'm so sorry for these past days."
The two embraced and wept.
Peter broke the touching moment.
"Glad to see you're awake, Otto."
"But the people you killed will never wake up."
Otto choked back a sob.
"I'll turn myself in to the police."
"Forget it," Peter said, stepping closer to him.
"Right now, the entire New York is after you, and I didn't save you just so you could spend the rest of your life in prison."
"From now on, you'll work for me."
Otto nodded.
"You saved me, it's the least I can do, but I still killed people."
"I deserve punishment."
Peter sneered:
"This world has never been fair. The powerful elite aren't all as glamorous as they seem."
"Atone for your sins."
"Go to Gotham, try to come up with something useful."
"Someone will protect you there. If you want to avoid prison, Gotham is the only place for you."
Otto struggled to sit up.
He said sincerely:
"Thank you, thank you!"
"I'll spend the rest of my life trying to cleanse my sins."
After he finished speaking, the mechanical arms on his back automatically disassembled.
Peter nodded.
"Change your clothes."
"Huh?"
Although Otto and Rose didn't understand, they didn't dare disobey the Punisher and obediently followed his instructions.
Two minutes later.
They changed their clothes.
Three minutes later, Peter took them to Gotham.
Four minutes later, they met the Penguin.
Seeing Peter, Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, was both excited and deeply fearful!
"Sir, if I had known you were coming, I would have prepared a grand feast!"
Ever since their meeting two months ago, the Penguin had been keeping a close eye on the Punisher's activities.
The more he learned, the more terrified he became!
This man's methods of killing were absolutely chilling!
"No need, Oswald."
"Help these two settle in and get them new identities."
"In return, you can ask me to handle one problem you can't solve."
The Penguin's eyes lit up.
"Sir, there is indeed a troublesome issue."
"One of my territories was taken over by a bastard who's incredibly hard to deal with. He can turn people into ice."
"But he's not in Gotham right now."
Peter nodded.
"Got it. Call me when he returns."
"These two are in your hands now."
