  ----

  While Peter was enjoying his night, Fra himself busy as usual.

  Frank had been trag a high-level ons dealer for the past few days. The target was highly protected, almost untouchable, surrounded by a small army of men.

  But today, Frank had a ce.

  As usual, he fought his way through the building oskirts of New York, eliminating all obstacles in his path. Few people were there; no cops dared ehis underworld. It ce where those without money or status weren't wele, where even a small cop wouldn't feel safe without backup, fearing they'd be killed, their bodies left for autopsy to firm their line-of-duty death.

  Uhe gang members, Frank killed them without guilt. He didn't enjoy killing; he preferred peace. But sometimes, peace was too far away. He wouldn't pin or ge his path. He took a grim satisfa in seeing their blood spill, hearing these filth of the Earth plead for mercy.

  After taking them down, Frank burhe building to the ground, ensuring no traces were left behind, and moved out with a new batch of ons in his minivan. However, he had an uling feeling, as if someone was watg him. This was the sixth time this week. His honed seold him this wasn't a regur lowlife. The question on his mind was, who and where?

  Frank drove, alert and ready for a surprise attack. He avoided his base to keep its location hidden from this unknown presence. Instead, he took several detours. The drive sted two hours before he finally stopped in front of an alleyway.

  As he stepped out of the van, the feeling of being watched grew stronger. His eyes sed the dark, narrow alley, every muscle in his body tense. Suddenly, a shadow moved at the far end. Frank drew his gun, ready to face whatever or whoever it was. The figure emerged from the shadows, tall and imposing, with a menag presence.

  He was wearing a brown jacket with fur around his neck, bck shirt, and bck pants, making him stand out in the alley. The moment Frank got a glimpse of the person, a shiver went through his spine, a rare sensation for the hardened Punisher.

  "Castle," His deep voice echoed through the alley. "I've been waiting for this moment."

  "Who the hell are you?" Frank raised his gun, preparing to shoot him down. "What do you want?"

  "Kraven," The man replied, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "And you, Frank Castle, are the ultimate prey."

  Before Frank could reply, Kraven pounced and leaped at him, disappearing into thin air as he seemed to fade, only leaving dust behind. His agility of a wild beast.

  Frank fired his gun, but Kraven dodged with inhuman speed, closing the distaween them in a heartbeat. Kraven's fist ected with Frank's jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground. Frank rolled to his feet, pain searing through his body. He aimed his gun again, but Kraven k out of his hand with a swift kick. With his oppo unarmed, Kraven took advantage of the opening, grabbing his oppo's leg. In a dispy of incredible strength, Kraven threw his foe in the air.

  Frank groaned in pain as he collided with a brick wall, uo prepare for the sudden attack. He dropped to the crete like a stone, and just whehought the fight had ended, he received a brutal blow from behind, smming his face against the wall, and smashing the skin on his forehead and face. His right shoulder was dislocated.

  Frank gritted his teeth and tried to rise up again, but that sm had sapped away his energy, he felt weaker than before, not that he could move anyway, the beatiook from Krave him bleeding and immobilized, it was as if he wasn't fighting a human but a beast. His oppo got speed, power, and teiques that made it impossible for him to terattack. He expected it was because of some strange drug or a chemical he took that made him act this way. But right now, none of those questions mattered, only the wish of not dying, to find an opportunity, something that might ge the result of this fight.

  "Did I expeuch, Frank Castle?"

  The mog voice beloo Kraven, standing right behind him, smiling sinisterly as Frank tio resist and tried to get up.

  "Or perhaps you are not what the rumors say? Maybe this hunt was indeed not worthy,"

  That single word 'Hunt', was like a match that lit up Frank's raging fires. "What did you say?"

  "That you will die like the animals, right here in this alley," Kraven kicked his stomach, sending him rolling across the ground until he crashed against a rge metal pipe in a er.

  Frank spit a mouthful of blood as the agony shot through his stomach. That kick could be fatal, but for him, it only woke up his animal instinct to survive. It's been a while since he fought a bloody fight on the edge of life ah. The man before him isn't a normal human, but to Frank, it doesn't matter. He got a general idea about Kraven's power after taking that much beating. His way of fighting was unique, like a savage animal that hunted down its prey. tering it without preparation and in his present dition is almost impossible. And running away is also impossible since he is fast enough to dodge bullets.

  He looked around for things he could use as a on. Since guns are useless, he'll keep his un for the final blht now, his eyes fell on a metal rod, lying behind Kraven. A few gss shards and bricks.

  The street light flickered...

  "ARGGGG!" Frank smmed his fist on the ground as he stood up. He grabbed his dislocated right shoulder and popped it bato pce with a siing ch, then he cracked his ned fingers, before running toward Kraven.

  "YES! THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. THAT SOUL SHOULDN'T GO TO HELL EASILY," Kraven stood still, not even fling a little while fag a charging Frank.

  The alleyway became a battleground. Frank fought with everything he had, using his bat skills to ter Kraven's ferocity. But Kraven was relentless, his attacks precise and brutal. Blood flowed freely as the two men exged blows, each strike more savage tha. Frank's body screamed in agony, but he refused to give up. He had faced worse and survived.

  Kraven's cws raked across Frank's chest, tearing through his flesh. Frank gritted his teeth, ign the pain, and delivered a powerful punch to Kraven's face. Kraven staggered back, blood dripping from his nose, but his eyes burned with rage. "ARRRRRGGGG!!" He roared and charged at Frank again.

  Frank sidestepped, grabbing a metal pipe from the ground and swinging it at Kraven's head. The pipe ected with a siing crack, but Kraven barely flinched. He grabbed the pipe, and ya out of Frank's hands, easily, tossing it aside. Frank couldn't believe Kraven's strength.

  "HAAAAA!!!!" With a roar, Kraven lifted Frank and smmed him into the wall.

  Baaaam!

  Gasping for breath, Frank kicked Kraven iomach, f him to release his grip. Frank dropped to the ground, grabbing a shard of broken gss. He sshed at Kraven's arm, drawing more blood. Kraven snarled and baded Frank, sending him crashing into a pile of trash.

  Frank struggled to his feet, blood trig down his face. He could feel his strength waning, his vision blurring, but he couldn't afford to lose. Not now. Not to Kraven. Summoning every ounce of his willpower, Frank unched himself at Kraven, tag him to the ground. The two men rolled across the alley, a blur of fists and fury.

  Kraven mao get on top, his hands closing around Frank's throat. Frank's vision darkened as Kraven's grip tightened...
