Ch: 6-10
Chapter 6 Chapter 6
"Are you crazy? Your goddess ran off with someone, and you're still clinging on?" Harry's eyes widened.
"What nonsense! I admire Professor Wang's scientific spirit!" Peter said seriously, "With great power comes great responsibility. How many lives has he saved by developing that special anticancer drug? And he said he's going to continue tackling the difficult problem of cancer. I want to follow such a role model!"
Ever since Benjamin passed away, the famous saying "With great power comes great responsibility" had been deeply rooted in Peter's heart.
"Alright, alright! If you want to go crazy, your brother will go crazy with you!" Harry helplessly dragged Peter outside, "But you have to buy me coffee today! Otherwise, I'm not done with you!"
——————
S.H.I.E.L.D. office.
Alexander Pierce's face was grim.
What exactly was going on?
Why did he suddenly receive a nationwide announcement from the Five Permanent Council, only to learn that S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually cooperating with the Umbrella Group? He, the Director, had been kept in the dark!
The bright sunlight streamed through the window, but it couldn't brighten his gloomy mood.
Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded, and Pierce immediately put on a kind expression.
"Dugan, I have a mission that requires you to assign personnel." Seeing that it was "Dum Dum" Dugan, a veteran HYDRA mole, who entered, he gave a direct order.
Dum Dum Dugan slightly raised his eyes. As the Commander of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Task Force, he needed to know which special unit he was deploying.
"Shadow Unit." Alexander Pierce handed over a note full of secret orders, "This is the force you are to mobilize, and the control password."
After quickly memorizing the instructions, Dugan handed the note back: "Mission objective?"
A cold glint flashed in Pierce's eyes: "Assassinate the Chairman of the Umbrella Group."
As the chosen candidate to become the Secretary-General of the Council of Five Permanent Nations, Pierce understood the special privileges Umbrella had obtained better than anyone. Precisely for this reason, he yearned even more to control this enterprise—those special medicines could help him weave a vast network of wealth.
Manhattan's First Avenue was in rush hour traffic. Wang Haoyu's motorcade was stuck in the flow, unable to move forward.
A man in black sunglasses emerged from the street corner, his left arm gleaming with a metallic cold light, holding a high-tech assault rifle. Upon spotting the target, he fired at Wang Haoyu's motorcade without hesitation.
"Tat-tat-tat—"
The dense gunfire caused chaos on the street.
"Danger!" Alice instantly erected a psychic barrier. Bullets impacted the transparent shield, creating ripples.
The two Land Rover Defenders, front and back, reacted immediately: two Asian Agents leaped from the front car, heading straight for the shooter, while three guards from the rear car quickly formed a defensive formation beside the thunderstorm vehicle, tightly protecting Wang Haoyu and Alice.
"Someone is really audacious enough to assassinate me in broad daylight?"
Wang Haoyu, sitting calmly in the eye of the storm, had a face as dark as water!
Although he had long anticipated that Umbrella would attract covetous eyes,
he never expected an assassination attempt in the middle of the street!
This was a naked provocation!
Damn!
A cold light flickered in Wang Haoyu's eyes,
and anger surged in his chest.
"I'll attack, you provide support!"
Lin Yan charged forward, barking at Jin Sheng.
"Understood!"
Jin Sheng immediately began his crowd control operations.
The five guards' sense of shame transformed into overwhelming killing intent.
If Alice hadn't deployed her psychic shield in time,
they would have made a grave mistake.
Two elite special forces Agents, like fierce tigers unleashed,
reached the assassin in an instant.
"Kill!"
Fiery dragons erupted from Lin Yan's palms,
and a scorching heatwave swept through the street.
"Oh my god! He can breathe fire!"
The onlookers retreated in terror.
Facing the roaring flames,
Bucky, who was holding the gun, knew the mission had failed,
and abandoned his weapon, attempting to flee.
"Want to escape? Did you ask me first?!"
Jin Sheng sneered, his five fingers forming a claw,
and surrounding metal objects floated into the air:
roadblocks, lampposts, fire hydrants... a rain of steel poured down!
Swoosh!
A steel shard pierced Bucky's right sleeve,
revealing the cold glint of his mechanical arm.
"Bucky... Captain America's close friend?"
Above the thunder, Wang Haoyu coldly looked down at the disheveled, one-armed man below.
"Bucky... still has some use."
He narrowed his eyes, then gave an order to his subordinates: "Leave him alive!"
"Yes, Young Master." Xu Mu nodded and immediately relayed the instructions to the battlefield via communicator.
The battle situation changed in an instant.
A sharp glint flashed in Jin Sheng's eyes, and he suddenly reached out, grabbing Bucky's mechanical arm.
No matter how Bucky struggled, he was still thrown high into the air, then slammed heavily to the ground!
With a loud crash, Bucky hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
However, a few seconds later, that burly figure swayed and stood up again.
"Monster..." Lin Yan spat.
Jin Sheng didn't hesitate. With a pull of his five fingers in the air, a distant structure made of iron chains suddenly disintegrated.
"Trying to escape?" Lin Yan's hand condensed flames into a whip, lashing it fiercely across Bucky's back!
A shrill wail echoed across the battlefield.
Wang Haoyu's gaze grew cold, his fingertips lightly tapping the Thunder Throne: "HYDRA... Alexander Pierce..."
A chilling arc formed at the corner of his mouth: "You've chosen the wrong opponent."
—
"Virus Fusion Experiment"
Under the laboratory's fluorescent lights, Wang Haoyu stared at Bucky, who was restrained on the operating table, his fingertips lightly tapping the chilling test tube. Titanium alloy shackles firmly secured every joint of Bucky's body, and even his fingers were individually locked by special metal rings.
"Do you know why Tyrants roar?" Wang Haoyu suddenly asked, holding the test tube up to the light to observe the pale blue liquid slowly flowing within the glass wall, "Because the T-virus is always searching for a more perfect host."
The cold storage unit opened automatically, and a second petri dish containing a dark green gelatinous substance slowly rose. When both virus samples appeared simultaneously on the surgical tray, even the air began to tremble.
At this moment, Bucky was like an insect pinned to a specimen board; the low temperature transmitted by the alloy floor caused frost to form on his metal left arm. A holographic projection in the corner of the laboratory was continuously playing the Umbrella Corporation's bio-weapon archives, and the image of a Tyrant tearing apart a target was perfectly frozen before Bucky's eyes.
"Traditional viruses are too monotonous." Wang Haoyu suddenly crossed the two test tubes in an 'X' shape, observing Bucky's distorted reflection through the glass, "Do you think... a host that simultaneously carries two mutation chains might grow more interesting organs?"
A mechanical arm descended from the ceiling, its needle gleaming coldly under the light. As the Abomination serum in the culture chamber began to boil, Bucky found his pupils contracting violently—this wasn't due to fear, but because the ultraviolet sterilization lamp above the experimental table suddenly lit up, bathing the entire space in an eerie purple.
A syringe slowly drew out the pale blue liquid!
Outside the laboratory was a double-layered bio-isolation glass.
Xu Mu, the other four, and Alice all stood by the glass, quietly watching Wang Haoyu conducting the experiment inside.
"Boss, what the Commander is drawing... I feel a shiver down my spine!"
Staring at the pale blue liquid, Lin Yan got goosebumps all over.
"Me too, Captain. It just feels unsettling! It's too creepy!"
Zhao Miao scratched his back in agreement.
"This is raw T-virus. A slight mistake and a Resident Evil outbreak could sweep the globe! Just like in the zombie movies you've watched!"
Alice glanced at the two of them, softly revealing the truth.
As the only person who had perfectly fused two original virus solutions and remained rational, she now stared at Bucky, who was being injected with the virus in the experimental chamber, and suddenly frowned—
This guy, could he really succeed?
Was it a delusion?
Shaking her head, she stared intently at Bucky, whose face was gradually becoming twisted with ferocity.
"Record!"
Wang Haoyu put down the syringe. Such high-risk items had to be centrally destroyed.
"Endurance time: thirty seconds."
"One minute."
"One minute twenty-seven seconds."
"Two minutes thirteen seconds."
"Target in shock!"
The monitoring assistant called out consecutively:
"Blood pressure fluctuating violently!"
"Pulse accelerating!"
"Heart rate racing!"
"Blood flow velocity sharply increasing!"
"Could go berserk at any moment!"
Wang Haoyu scanned the instrument data: "Inject three times the Tyrant dosage of tranquilizer."
Bucky did not yet have a control chip implanted. If he went berserk, he could destroy the underground Base. This absolutely could not happen—since he might awaken, then let him sleep forever! Install the chip first!
"Understood!" The assistant immediately complied.
The research assistants were slightly surprised when three times the dosage of the strengthening Agent was injected into the man's body, but they still faithfully carried out Wang Haoyu's order.
As the massive dose of Agent flowed into his body, Bucky's originally ferocious and twisted face gradually became calm, but his entirely reddened skin indicated that the original virus solution was raging within him.
"Put him into the culture chamber and implant a vengeance goddess-level control chip. Note that the target has previously undergone command override; the specific content is unknown." Wang Haoyuinstructed the researchers.
"Understood." The assistants transferred the unconscious Bucky onto a cart and sent him through an internal passage into the culture room. This laboratory, which housed six culture chambers, was specifically used to cultivate special bio-entities of the vengeance goddess level.
After completing the disinfection procedure, Wang Haoyu took off his protective suit, gazed towards the culture room through the observation window, and muttered to himself, "I really want to see his final form."
At this moment, Alice reminded him: "Young Master, Tony Stark's party starts in two hours."
"I almost forgot about that." Wang Haoyu remembered Stark's battle armor legion and immediately became very interested, but then thought about installing an arc reactor in his body and immediately dismissed the idea.
"The Beauty of battle armor and the Neighbor's Appointment"
Is Iron Man's battle armor cool? Of course it's cool! And its performance is excellent!
As for personal preference, Wang Haoyu preferred the upgraded battle armors after the Mark VII. Earlier series of armors mostly relied on the arc reactor in Tony's chest for energy supply.
After a simple rest, Wang Haoyu changed into casual clothes and walked towards his neighbor's house not far away—becoming Iron Man's neighbor, this unexpected connection had once greatly surprised him.
"Sir, Wang Haoyu is visiting." Jarvis's voice echoed in the Villa.
Tony, who was changing, raised an eyebrow: "He doesn't think the party is being held at my house, does he?"
"You did not inform him of the specific address three days ago." The intelligent butler calmly replied.
Tony shrugged helplessly: "Alright, I'll go see him."
"Good evening, Mr. Stark." Wang Haoyu looked at the empty Villa and quipped, "This doesn't look like a party venue."
"A party at a private residence? That would be terrible." Tony waved his hand.
"Agreed." Wang Haoyu nodded, then mentioned his accompanying bodyguards, "Recently, quite a few people are after me. I wouldn't dare go out without guards."
Tony laughed heartily, patting his shoulder: "I understand! But my sports car is a single-seater, what are you going to do?"
"Sports car?" Wang Haoyu showed a playful expression.
"Actually, it's a racing-themed cocktail party, lively with many people." A confident light flashed in Tony's eyes, "Want to race?"
"What's the bet?"
"It's just a friendly match... but if you lose, you have to do me a favor, it's very simple for you." Tonywinked slyly.
After a brief thought, Tony Stark suddenly looked at Wang Haoyu seriously.
"Alright. What if I win?"
"You name a condition?"
"That armor I saw three days ago was pretty cool. How about you give it to me as a souvenir?"
Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Wang Haoyu's lips curled up slightly, his gaze falling upon the Mark II battle armor.
Although the Mark battle armor primarily relies on the arc reactor for power, it is even more inseparable from the assistance of intelligent AI.
Without Jarvis's help, Tony alone would struggle to pilot even the most advanced battle armor.
For the success of the Mark battle armor, Jarvis accounts for half the credit, and the other half belongs to its creator, Tony.
"You bastard!" Hearing that Wang Haoyu was actually setting his sights on the Mark II, Tony couldn't help but laugh and curse aloud.
"Deal!" Seeing Tony nod in agreement, Wang Haoyu waved his hand casually and returned to the Villato drive out the thunderstorm.
Tony, who was about to get into the red sports car, hesitated for a moment and casually stuffed the newly completed Mark III battle armor into the car as well.
If Wang Haoyu was afraid of death, wasn't Tony himself the same?
"Where are we racing?" Wang Haoyu, wearing sunglasses, leaned against the front of Tony's house, his face full of provocation.
"If you lose, you buy dinner!" "No problem!"
"The location is set at..." Alice, in the passenger seat, suddenly raised her arm and began the countdown:
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Boom!!
The two sports cars roared deafeningly at the same time, leaping out like fierce Beasts.
Instant acceleration was effortless for these two Beasts.
On this Coastal Highway with sparse traffic, the blue and red sports cars engaged in a fierce competition.
Sometimes the blue car led, sometimes the red car surged ahead.
This chase frightened passing vehicles, causing them to scatter and avoid them; no one dared to drive alongside these two "Beasts."
At the entrance of the noisy Panshan Racetrack.
Young people seeking excitement were bustling about to watch the race.
Scantily clad young women were batting their eyelashes at the men they fancied.
Of course, more often, men were winking, flirting, and joking with the hot girls!
However, in a racing hotspot like this, betting naturally took place!
Boom!
Vroom!
Accompanied by the roar of the engines, two aggressively styled race cars, one blue and one red, rushed into the track entrance one after the other.
"You were half a beat slow." As Wang Haoyu got out of the car, he lifted his chin toward the late Tony Stark, and their fists lightly bumped.
"Damn it, I'll give you the win this time." Tony slumped his shoulders. "I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"I'll hold you to that." Wang Haoyu's lips curved slightly, and he took Alice to follow Tony into the racing club at the foot of the mountain. Since it was his first time experiencing this kind of venue, he wisely chose to follow the veteran.
"Holy crap! What kind of god cars are those?"
"The blue one is the Bloody Queen that just launched last week, right?"
"It's the first time I've seen the actual car! Quick, take a picture for me!"
"Wait—is that red one the unreleased thunderstorm? Which big shot got their hands on it?"
The commotion quickly drew a crowd around the two supercars, and the sound of cameras clicking rose and fell.
"Tony? Long time no see!" The Bearded Boss greeted him warmly.
"Bringing a friend to race," Tony said, pointing beside him. "Wang Haoyu." He nodded in greeting. Before long, twelve top-tier race cars had gathered at the foot of the mountain, their engine sounds rising and falling.
"The rules for this round are simple..." After the commentator droned on for a long time, the flag bearer finally fired the starting pistol.
Three, Two, One—Go!
Rumble!
All the race cars shot out from the starting line like arrows released from a bow, each carrying a female companion. In Wang Haoyu's passenger seat, Alice was tightly gripping the handrail.
Forty-three.
Twelve race cars sped along the track. The number didn't seem large, but it certainly wasn't small!
However, on this initial four-lane section, twelve race cars still felt overly crowded!
Fortunately, Wang Haoyu and Tony consistently held the leading positions, and with tacit cooperation, they blocked the overtaking routes of the ten race cars behind them, infuriating those drivers, who were practically cursing aloud—
"Tony Stark! Just like your father, you're a treacherous bastard!"
Inside the monitoring station of the Panshan Racetrack, Ivan Vanko stared intently at the track, his eyes burning with deep-seated hatred, as if he wanted to tear Tony apart. While setting up radio communication, he quickly erected a Barrier Cable.
Based on his understanding of Tony, this arrogant guy would never allow anyone to steal his thunder during a race. Therefore, the Barrier Cable was the most effective ambush method!
Everything was ready. Ivan held the radio in one hand and gripped a crackling Electric Chain in the other. The Anti-electric Suit he wore showed that he had made thorough preparations.
Vroom—Boom!!
At this moment, Tony and Wang Haoyu had entered the two-lane section of the road, and the ten race cars behind them had long been left far behind, their taillights no longer visible!
"Watch out!" The bumping of the race car made Alice slightly dizzy, but she still keenly spotted the Barrier Cable stretched across the mountain corner ahead. If they hit it directly, it would either wreck the car or kill the occupants!
In desperation, she quickly deployed a Psychic Barrier, protecting Wang Haoyu and herself. As for Tonyand the Bunny Girl in the other car, she had no time to worry about them.
Bang!!
With a loud crash, Wang Haoyu's "thunderstorm" slammed violently into the Barrier Cable. The front of the car instantly warped into scrap, sparks flew, and oil gushed out... "Wang Haoyu! Are you okay?!"
Although the collision lasted only a moment, because Wang Haoyu's speed was slightly faster than Tony's, he was the first to bear the impact.
Tony quickly brought the "Bloody Queen" race car to a stop and frantically searched for equipment inside the vehicle.
This sudden appearance of the Barrier Cable was absolutely no accident!
Someone was trying to murder Wang Haoyu, or perhaps the target was himself!
Realizing the danger, Tony rushed to grab the Mark III Battle Armor Box inside the car.
Boom!!
A strong sense of crisis struck him, and Tony hastily rolled out of the race car.
An electrified cable fiercely struck the "Bloody Queen"!
The Bunny Girl still in the car was instantly incinerated into charcoal by the high-voltage current!
"Damn it!"
Tony, scrambling to his feet, watched Ivan Vanko slowly walking down the hillside and cursed through gritted teeth.
He hadn't managed to retrieve the battle armor box.
He wondered what Wang Haoyu's situation was.
"Hey! You Metalhead playing with chains! You successfully pissed me off!"
Protected by Alice's psychic shield, Wang Haoyu was still shaken.
If it weren't for that layer of defense, his head would have been knocked off long ago!
Thinking of this, Wang Haoyu was consumed by rage.
Damn it!
"Still alive? Not for long. You should be glad Tony Stark will be buried with you."
Ivan glanced at Wang Haoyu and Alice emerging from the "thunderstorm" and shook his head nervously.
"Make me die? Hahaha! You're the first person who dared to talk to me like that!" Wang Haoyu laughed despite his extreme anger.
You want to kill me? First, measure your own ability!
"Alice! Go!" Wang Haoyu commanded coldly.
Alice instantly rushed out, suppressing her fury behind an icy expression.
As a Personal Bodyguard, this attack was an absolute disgrace!
If the other five people knew about this, they would certainly mock her for dereliction of duty.
"A woman?" Seeing Alice charging toward him, Ivan, focused entirely on revenge, was momentarily stunned.
But just as he was distracted—Boom!! Alice's Psychic Attack erupted!
The iron chain Ivan Vanko used as an obstacle was snatched by Alice.
The heavy chain instantly became a deadly long whip, fiercely smashing toward Ivan Vanko!
"Oh no!"
Ivan Vanko's hair instantly stood on end.
How was this possible?
How could she possess such terrifying strength?
Ivan Vanko, a Physics Expert, was completely unable to comprehend the scene before him.
"I'll handle this guy." Wang Haoyu walked up to Tony Stark, grabbed Tony who was lying on the ground, and pulled him up, staring straight at him with a stern gaze.
"Wow, no wonder you take her everywhere... so she's that strong?" Watching Alice brutally beat Ivan Vanko while swinging the heavy chain, Tony was dumbfounded.
This wild fighting style was absolutely thrilling! Too bad she belonged to Wang Haoyu.
"Alright, alright, I'll leave this guy for you to handle! But... I think I've figured out who he is." Facing Wang Haoyu's icy stare, Tony wisely raised his hands in surrender.
A lunatic trying to kill them was barely worth mentioning in the eyes of Wang Haoyu and Tony.
In Yīngjiàng, if you have money, human life is just a number.
"Who is it?" Wang Haoyu was slightly curious. After all, the target of this attack was Tony; he was just collateral damage.
"A scientist from Máo Xióng's side, probably related to my father... Let me think." Tony explained while pulling the Mark III battle armor out of the wrecked race car.
As for the dead Bunny Girl in the car? Maybe he'd mourn for two seconds.
"He might have participated in one of my father's research projects but was later fired. This person is likely his son—if I remember correctly."
After a brief moment of recollection, Tony finished donning the battle armor and stood beside Wang Haoyu to continue explaining.
"So... you put on the battle armor just to watch the show?" Wang Haoyu glanced at the fully armed Tony, who wasn't making a move, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You mean that? Among the three of us, your female bodyguard is the expert; she can definitely take that guy down!"
"The rest of us are just ordinary people who can't even tie up a chicken. If another lunatic pops up, we'll be in big trouble!"
"So I'm playing it safe by wearing the battle armor. If there's danger, I'll fly us both away immediately!" Tony grinned, giving Wang Haoyu a thumbs-up.
The meaning was clear—your bodyguard charges ahead, and I'm responsible for your safety!
"I really must thank you then." Wang Haoyu's mouth twitched, and he managed to squeeze out an expression of gratitude.
He really couldn't argue with that. He just hoped that next time he could sign in for something more useful.
"Who do you think lost this race?" Looking at his wrecked thunderstorm, Wang Haoyu felt a little sour.
His beloved car was destroyed just like that.
"Ugh, I'll take the loss. If it weren't for you guys, I might already be dead at that man's hands."
Tony said listlessly, looking at his Bloody Queen. Race aside, Tony was quick to concede defeat.
"Mhm." Thinking of the Mark II battle armor he was about to get, Wang Haoyu was secretly excited.
Although he knew nothing about mechas, he had the Red Alert Base backing him.
This Red Alert Base was absolutely underestimated.
Even if the Soldiers were basic units, what about those called "Engineers"?
Just for repairing bridges and extracting oil, calling them Sappers would be enough.
These Engineers might all be capable of overseeing large-scale projects. It was time to return to the Red Alert Planet and recruit an Engineer to see.
"Wang Haoyu!" Tony, who had been quietly watching the fight, suddenly became serious.
"Speak." Wang Haoyu already guessed what he wanted to say.
"You know how to treat people, right?"
"That's right! If you run into any tricky diseases, feel free to come find me! Even if you need surgery, I can at least guarantee that after installing a donkey's appendage, you'll still be able to date magazine models!" Wang Haoyu shrugged, joking casually with Tony.
"Get lost! I'm a hundred times better than you!" "Oh really?" "Can you actually install a donkey's appendage on a person and make it work?"
"Who knows? Want to try?" Wang Haoyu squinted at the suddenly silent Tony, showing a teasing smile.
"Do me a favor." "What favor?" "Perform surgery. It should count as external surgery."
"What kind of surgery exactly?" "I have a friend who has shrapnel fragments near his heart. Can you perform this kind of operation?" "I can, but I don't want to."
Chapter 8
"Why?"
Hearing that Wang Haoyu could perform this kind of surgery, Tony Stark's breathing immediately quickened.
If surgery were truly possible, why would he need to install that arc reactor in his chest?
"It takes too much energy! This type of surgery is the most exhausting!"
Wang Haoyu rolled his eyes and explained bluntly.
"What conditions do you require to do it?"
After a moment of silence, Tony asked, emphasizing every word.
"Are you the patient?"
Wang Haoyu stopped smiling and asked seriously.
"It's me."
Tony hesitated for a moment before finally giving an affirmative answer. For some reason—perhaps because Wang Haoyu hadn't abandoned him during the crisis, or perhaps due to their shared identity as scientists—Tony Stark had a natural affinity for Wang Haoyu.
"When I was ** in the Middle East, shrapnel fragments lodged in my chest, very close to my heart. I asked many people, and they all said this surgery couldn't be done."
Tony explained earnestly, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"It's not that they can't do it; they just don't dare risk you. After all, you are the Young Master of Stark Industries."
Wang Haoyu curled his lip, having long seen through their intentions.
If it were any other illness, those Doctors would have long guaranteed success. But this surgery has a mortality rate as high as ninety percent—if the shrapnel near the heart is mishandled even slightly, the fragments will rush into the heart, making them impossible to retrieve.
"Will you do it?"
Tony was well aware of the cautious thoughts of these people! Right now, he could only rely on Wang Haoyu—after all, installing an arc reactor in his chest felt ridiculous no matter how he thought about it!
"No problem."
Wang Haoyu nodded decisively and stepped forward.
Ivan Vanko was indeed an excellent physicist, but he was completely defenseless against Alice, who was not in the physics department!
Ivan was currently beaten black and blue by Alice, bleeding profusely.
"No conditions?"
"No."
"Thanks."
"Thank me after you survive!"
"You guy!"
Wang Haoyu bickered with Tony while walking up to Ivan.
"You barely count as a talent, but unfortunately—I don't care for you."
Wang Haoyu, wearing casual shoes, poked the unconscious Ivan with his toe, a playful smile hanging on his lips.
"Farewell~"
Looking at Ivan, who struggled to raise his head, Wang Haoyu waved goodbye in a friendly manner.
Boom!
Alice's Telekinesis instantly twisted Ivan's head like a pretzel—a full 360 degrees. Ivan was completely dead.
Just then, people from the Racing Club approached with the sound of **.
"They say the U.S. Police are specialized in collecting corpses; it truly lives up to its name!"
Wang Haoyu smiled and patted Tony, who was wearing his battle armor. The latter understood and retracted the battle armor into a briefcase.
"Retreat."
He wiped the bloodstain from Alice's face, took her hand, and walked down the mountain.
("Are you two really just friends?" Tony stared at Wang Haoyu and Alice's clasped hands, his eyes sparkling with gossip.
"We are indeed just ordinary friends." Wang Haoyu looked down at the slender, delicate hand he held but did not let go. Alice's hand was soft and boneless, with an excellent texture.
A sweet blush rose on the girl's face, and the warmth from his fingertips made her heart race.
"Ordinary friends? Only a fool would believe that!" Tony couldn't help but complain, simultaneously thinking of Pepper. If she knew he had been attacked again, she would definitely lecture him.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Nick Fury looked at the report with a headache: This guy was attacked twice in one day? First attacked on the street, then assaulted on the racetrack.
"Has the investigation been finalized?"
Coulson handed over the files: "The attacker is confirmed to be the Winter Soldier, Bucky. But those five Asians..." The photo showed Xu Mu and the others, exuding a military aura, three of whom clearly possessed mutant abilities.
"We can't find their background. Unless we use the Eastern high-level intelligence network, but that region is our **." Coulson said helplessly. The East is the most difficult area for them to penetrate.
Some were reported by the public, some got lost and couldn't find their way, others were reported by subordinates for refusing bribes, and even more outrageously, one was actually trafficked and sold to a Black Mine in Africa! That's too outrageous!
"Fine! Judging by the situation, those five people were likely elites secretly sent by that Eastern Rabbit to protect him. You know well that figures of this caliber are always accompanied by the World's top experts!"
Every time the subject of A Certain Major Eastern Power came up, Nick Fury got a headache!
He decided not to pursue the origins of those five people anymore.
"But this Alice actually possesses Supernatural Abilities. Is she a genetic mutant?"
"Analysis suggests she possesses Telekinesis," Coulson supplemented.
Referring to the Winding Mountain Road incident, Coulson continued his report: "That man was a researcher from A Northern Power, and he had dealings with Tony Stark's father. Unfortunately, he was killed by the enraged Mr. Wang, otherwise we could have dug up many clues."
[Ling Long] 811737666
"It seems we need to plant an informant near Mr. Wang. We hear he is preparing to publish a new medical thesis and launch a Specialized Medicine."
Nick Fury stroked his shiny bald head, calculating potential candidates.
"Actually, there's no need for such trouble, Director. Analyzing the Umbrella Group's structure shows that Mr. Wang is constantly wary of outsiders."
"Within the Group, Mr. Wang holds absolute authority, followed by CEO Wang Yuyan, and then the Eighteen-Person Secretariat assembled by Wang Yuyan. All decisions originate from this think tank."
"I suggest slowly approaching him as a friend would be more appropriate. Also, Agent Hill owns property in that High-End Residential Area and is neighbors with both Tony Stark and Mr. Wang."
Coulson subtly arranged Agent Hill perfectly—Mr. Wang is surrounded by beauties, including the Secretariat composed of eighteen Eastern ** and his Personal Guard Alice... To deal with a man, you need a woman, and besides, it's time Agent Hill had a relationship. Coulson calculated with a fatherly mindset.
"In that case, have Natasha, who has been living at Headquarters, move in with Agent Hill so they can look out for each other." Nick Fury finalized the decision.
After a brief thought, Nick Fury decisively handed over Natasha's intelligence file as well.
Since he had already revealed one person's information, revealing one more wouldn't hurt; it would make them a pair! After all, both Tony Stark and Mr. Wang deserved close attention.
"What?"
Looking at Wang Yuyan before him, Wang Haoyu was momentarily confused.
Immediately upon returning to the Villa, Wang Yuyan came to report—Mr. Fisk had not only sent over a hundred high-quality "Piglets" but also provided an extra bodyguard.
Hearing this, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but wonder: What exactly was this King of the Underworldplanning?
"The hundred-plus 'Piglets' delivered by Mr. Fisk have been safely transferred to Warehouse Number Three, and he also sent a Ninja Bodyguard specifically to protect Young Master." Wang Yuyan, holding a folder, explained respectfully.
"What's the reason? Fisk never makes unnecessary moves." Wang Haoyu narrowed his eyes, wary of this "gift." Was the so-called bodyguard meant for protection or surveillance? Anyone who caught Fisk's attention was certainly no ordinary person.
"Ten days ago, the Queens hero Daredevil disrupted the transaction of thirty 'Piglets.' After the Empire State Building's ace ** bullseye clashed with him that day, Mr. Fisk quickly replenished the goods."
"Mr. Wilson stated that the Young Master's upcoming Specialized Medicine might draw covetous eyes and pose a security risk, so he specially dispatched this Anti-Assassination Expert for protection." Wang Yuyan explained in detail.
"Daredevil? Sure enough, this type of transaction was bound to attract the attention of Superheroes sooner or later." Wang Haoyu lightly tapped the sofa armrest, pondering.
In his eyes, Superheroes were divided into two categories: top-tier entities like Iron Man and Captain America who handled global crises, and Regional Heroes like Daredevil who maintained neighborhood security.
As for Spider-Man? He was an unpredictable anomaly—capable of fighting Thanos yet still tangling with the Green Goblin.
"Where is that Ninja Bodyguard now?"
"Waiting outside the Villa."
"Bring her in."
Dressed in a mesh-like Ninja outfit! The two ** crossed on her back clearly indicated she was a highly skilled Ninja!
"You were sent to protect me? Can you follow my orders?"
Wang Haoyu slightly lifted his eyelids to look over the Ninja **, feeling completely unfazed—how could he possibly know such a nobody?
"Yes!"
A low female voice sounded. The Ninja ** remained in a state of alert. She was not only guarding against the surroundings but was particularly focused on Alice, who stood behind Wang Haoyu, and the Xu Mu Five, who were forming a perimeter.
The oppressive feeling created by the six experts made cold sweat break out on her back.
Are you kidding me? A protection target of this caliber? Did I ** bite off more than I could chew by taking this mission?
"Name?"
Wang Haoyu nodded in satisfaction; obedience was all that mattered.
"Elektra."
"Listen, Elektra, your new mission is to protect Wang Yuyan and her Secretariat. Don't worry, they all move in groups and won't go out alone to cause you trouble."
Wang Haoyu calculated the people around him who needed protection, which were just his cousin and the Eighteen-Person Secretariat.
Although they were Cyborgs, they hadn't completely left the human category.
"Understood!"
Elektra felt relieved to know she didn't have to stay near the Source of Pressure. Being around a person of this caliber was truly agonizing.
She quickly flashed behind Wang Yuyan, instantly adopting the appearance of a docile attendant.
"You can all disperse."
Wang Haoyu waved his hand, signaling them to leave. He turned to look at the darkening sky and pulled out the anywhere door.
"Let's go, off to the Red Alert Planet!"
As the anywhere door unfolded, the group instantly vanished into the light and shadow.
The Base on Red Alert Planet was no longer what it once was.
Next to the basic facilities like the Magnetic Power Plant, Ore Refinery, and Barracks, two new Power Plants, a ** Command Center, and a currently under construction War Factory had been added.
"Officer!"
The Cyborg Assault Squad appeared from behind cover and saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Haoyu nodded in acknowledgement to the soldiers who remained behind.
"Come try if this ability crystal has any effect on you."
Standing in front of the massive ability crystal at the Base **, a thought suddenly flashed through Wang Haoyu's mind—could this crystal help everyone awaken Supernatural Abilities?
If it could, what would the World look like?
"Yes, Officer!"
The twelve team members executed the order without hesitation, placing their palms flat against the crystal surface simultaneously.
Buzz—
The crystal glowed again, but the light this time was far less intense than what the Xu Mu Five had triggered.
Through the crystal surface, Wang Haoyu clearly saw ripple-like energy fluctuations spreading across the top of the crystal.
"How do you feel?"
Wang Haoyu withdrew his gaze and examined the twelve soldiers before him.
"Officer... I seem to have gained some kind of ability?"
The Captain hesitantly spread his hands, faint light flowing between his fingers.
"To the Training Ground!"
Wang Haoyu led the way toward the exit, his Combat Boots echoing crisply.
"What ability exactly?"
He asked, turning his head. The Metallic Corridor carried the sound far away.
"Reinforcement Attachment, like this—"
The Captain's hands suddenly flared with milky white radiance. When the light enveloped the assault **, the entire weapon instantly vibrated and hummed.
Bang bang bang!!!
Three consecutive bursts instantly blew open a charred hole three meters in diameter in the distant Target Wall. The Impact shock caused dust to shower down from the ceiling.
Chapter 9 Chapter 9 In the smoke, Wang Haoyu's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest.
After witnessing Xu Mu and the others' even more shocking abilities, this level was indeed... "Just so-so."
He raised his chin, "The others?"
Two team members stepped forward: "We feel our physical functions have improved."
The rest shook their heads silently.
"Body Enhancement? Xu Mu!"
Following the call, Xu Mu flashed in front of the two like a ghost, raising three fingers: "Attack with full force."
As soon as Xu Mu's provocative words fell, the two immediately dropped their equipment and lunged forward!
After a crushing confrontation, like an adult fighting a child, Wang Haoyu finally understood the mystery of the physical enhancement—it was nothing more than being durable, tough, and having thick skin!
"I've basically figured out the principle!"
After a brief thought, Wang Haoyu noticed that the warriors in the biological series rarely possessed special abilities.
Did the Co-Brilliance Troops also exhibit similar random characteristics?
If characters from the Marvel Universe gained Superpowers, how could their loyalty be guaranteed?
This question greatly troubled Wang Haoyu, especially since the monthly sign-in system rewards inherently came with loyalty guarantees.
"Wait, is it possible for Bio-Warriors to awaken abilities?"
This sudden idea made Wang Haoyu's eyes light up.
If the biological system could be compatible with abilities, wouldn't that mean combat power could be elevated further?
It was worth exploring deeply! But there were more important things to deal with right now.
Filled with imaginative ideas, Wang Haoyu walked toward the Main Control Base and began deploying resources: "Over a million resources? First, dispatch three Engineers, then form a Co-Brilliance Reinforced Squad."
"Hmm? This customization option..." Wang Haoyu curiously selected two experimental units.
Before long, three teams appeared in neat formation before Wang Haoyu:
First were the three Engineers carrying metal boxes and wearing white lab coats; next was the Reinforced Squad, consisting of twelve people—the standard firepower made Wang Haoyu's eyelid twitch:
six [missing item], two Flamethrowers, three Submachine Guns, one [missing item], four Grenade[missing item], two Light Machine Guns, and the remaining warriors were uniformly equipped with Semi-automatic [missing item]...
"Good heavens, has the Fear of Insufficient Firepower spread to the Red Alert World?"
Wang Haoyu smiled bitterly and turned his gaze to the two specially customized Co-Brilliance Warriors—it was actually just a gender customization option, no wonder the Female Soldiers cost more.
"Would you all try touching this device?"
"Yes, Officer!"
Wang Haoyu scrutinized the Co-Brilliance Soldiers in this squad, including the two Female Soldiers.
The fourteen people simultaneously placed their hands on the ability crystal.
"What is this thing?"
"I'm not sure, maybe it's related to the body's potential power?"
"This is beyond my field of research!"
Not far away, three men around thirty years old, wearing Academician Uniforms, were crouching and talking quietly.
Boom!
Another beam of light flashed, and Wang Haoyu understood that someone among the fourteen had activated an ability.
"Go outside and test your abilities!"
After the soldiers opened their eyes, Wang Haoyu immediately led the group outside.
"Begin testing!"
"Reporting!"
Before Wang Haoyu could finish speaking, the two Customized Female Soldiers stood at attention and saluted.
"Speak, what is it!"
"Reporting, Officer, we only obtained Comprehensive Physical Quality Enhancement, no Special Abilities!"
Hearing this report, Wang Haoyu couldn't help but frown.
This shouldn't be right. The Customized Female Soldiers, built using 100,000 Resource Units, didn't awaken an ability?
That was too abnormal!
"You two observe from the side first."
"What about the rest of you? Don't tell me you don't have abilities either!"
Wang Haoyu sharply scanned the remaining twelve Co-Brilliance Soldiers.
"Reporting, Commander, we all have abilities, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"My ability..."
The Squad Leader suddenly pulled out [missing item] from his leg and sliced his arm.
As blood gushed out, he reached out and pressed the wound, a blue-green light glowing in his palm.
In just a few seconds, the wound scabbed over.
"Your ability is Healing?"
"Yes, Officer!"
"What about the others?"
After Wang Haoyu checked the soldiers' abilities one by one, he couldn't help but feel a stomach ache.
These abilities were both useful and useless at the same time...
"Ability Acceleration, Levitation Control, Object Manipulation, Form Reconstruction..."
Wang Haoyu stared at the ability crystal and couldn't help but rub his forehead, "This thing is too outrageous, isn't it?"
"Attention, everyone!"
"Here!"
"Your squad is immediately responsible for Base defense!"
"Understood!"
After watching the Co-Brilliance Soldiers march off, Wang Haoyu turned to the three Engineers wearing white lab coats, his eyes filled with inquiry: "What are your three specialties?"
The eldest pushed up his glasses: "Commander, I am an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm Researcher."
The burly man on the left scratched his head: "I just love tinkering with Mechanical Armor."
The tall, thin man on the right quietly added: "Tumor Targeted Therapy is my specialty."
Wang Haoyu's pupils suddenly contracted—these weren't just Engineers? They were clearly walking technology treasuries!
100,000 Resource Units? He had practically hit the jackpot!
One must know that within the Co-Brilliance System, anyone who wears an Academician Uniform is a national treasure.
"This is great!" He rubbed his hands excitedly, "With you joining, the Scientific Research Plan can be fully launched!"
Wang Haoyu forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded gently.
Is Iron Man's battle armor strong? Of course it is! It's practically every man's dream!
Wang Haoyu yearned to possess it, but found it hard to say.
Fortunately, he had won the Mark II battle armor from Tony in a previous bet.
With a physical reference, would they still be afraid of not being able to build it?
Don't underestimate the capabilities of these top Engineers!
As for Jarvis? Who wouldn't want such a Super AI? Wang Haoyu was no exception.
Although the red queen was powerful, it was limited to the Resident Evil World.
Initially, it was just an Advanced Security System.
How great would it be to have an Intelligent Butler like Jarvis!
Now, the appearance of the two Engineers made Wang Haoyu realize: Everything Iron Man had, he could also possess!
"The three of you, return to the Base with me. The Assault Squad too."
"As for you two..." Wang Haoyu looked at the neglected Customized Female Soldiers, "You are responsible for establishing the Archives Department and organizing everyone's ability data."
"Yes, Officer!" The two Female Soldiers instantly became spirited.
For them, having a mission was vital; being ignored was the hardest thing to accept.
After returning to the Hive Base, Wang Haoyu instructed Alice: "Have Yu Yan bring them to the Umbrella Tower and prepare the Laboratory."
This Elite Assault Squad also returned to the Base.
Sitting in the Villa, Wang Haoyu calculated: "I need to strengthen the security work of the Umbrella Tower, and also build several Special Bases."
Time flew by; more than ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was Mary Jane's Coming-of-Age Birthday Party.
A Silver-Gray Sports Car sped down the street, and Wang Haoyu, escorted by Xu Mu and others, headed straight for Mary Jane's house.
In recent days, after Tony transferred the Mark II battle armor to Wang Haoyu, he immediately handed it over to the Umbrella Tower's Mech Research Laboratory engineering team.
The three Engineers were currently combining Marvel Universe technology with Red Alert Technologyto launch R&D work.
"Look! Mary Jane, there's a Silver Sports Car parked outside!" The classmates playing in the living room suddenly shouted toward Mary Jane, who was trying on clothes.
"A Silver-Gray Sports Car?" Mary Jane frowned in confusion.
None of the acquaintances she knew drove this kind of car; even Professor Wang's was a Light Blue Thunderstorm.
"Oh my god, he's so handsome! Too bad he has Asian features."
"He even brought Bodyguards, what's his background?"
"He brought a female companion to the party, that girl is so cool!"
Amidst the chatter, Mary Jane pushed through the crowd and rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Professor Wang?"
When she saw Wang Haoyu in a Silver-White Suit holding a Gift Box, Mary Jane instantly became flustered.
She was both surprised that he actually came and annoyed that her current outfit wasn't dazzling enough.
"Jane, where are you going?" Seeing her suddenly rush toward the door, her classmates were all surprised.
"It's Professor Wang from the last Lecture!"
"That outfit is so stylish!"
"Happy birthday, Little Birthday Girl." Wang Haoyu smiled and handed over the Gift Box.
"I can't believe you came!" Mary Jane excitedly took the gift and gave Wang Haoyu a warm hug.
"I'm truly sorry, this is something I promised a classmate earlier."
Gently holding Mary Jane's shoulder, Wang Haoyu softly patted her back, his eyes smiling.
"Professor Wang, your sports car is..."
Looking at the sports car shimmering with silver-gray light, curiosity appeared in Mary Jane's eyes.
The model clearly looked expensive; it was definitely a top-tier luxury car!
"This is the arctic silver fox. The previous thunderstorm had a small issue."
"Let's go, your classmates are waiting for you!"
Wang Haoyu pointed to the group of young faces gathered by the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Okay."
Facing the amiable Wang Haoyu, a slightly blushing Mary Jane proactively welcomed him inside.
"Hello, classmates!"
Looking at this group of seventeen and eighteen-year-olds, Wang Haoyu smiled and greeted them.
"Hello, Professor Wang!"
"Professor, how old are you?"
"You look especially young!"
"Yes, achieving such success so young is amazing!"
With Wang Haoyu's arrival, these quick-witted students enthusiastically surrounded him.
After all, the Umbrella Group had recently become one of the most attractive companies globally, thanks to its Special Effects Medicine and generous benefits.
"Haha, I'm only twenty-four, close to your age, no need to be so formal."
Wang Haoyu smiled and stepped back, letting Mary Jane, the protagonist of the day, move to the front.
"Hey Peter, look over there, those look like Professor Wang's Bodyguards."
Harry, driving the sports car carrying Peter Parker, focused his gaze on the several Security Personnelstanding outside the door.
"Let's go, the Birthday Party is about to start."
Looking at the luxury cars continuously pulling up, a hint of bitterness arose in Peter Parker's heart.
Anyone would be sad when the girl they had secretly loved for a long time embraced someone else.
"Jane, this is your birthday gift."
Peter took out the carefully prepared Gift Box.
"Here's mine!"
Harry, who had his arm around Peter's shoulder, also handed over his gift.
"Thank you."
Looking at these two friends who often annoyed her, Mary Jane refrained from bickering for once and quietly put the gifts away.
"You guys enjoy yourselves first, I'm going to change clothes."
Wang Haoyu sat to the side, smiling silently. Mary Jane waved to everyone and quickly ran into the room to change into her Dress.
"What's wrong? You two seem to have a lot of questions you want to ask?"
Peter Parker stood to the side, hesitant to speak, while Harry constantly egged him on.
Wang Haoyu turned his head, smiled, and looked at Peter Parker as he asked.
"Hey, Professor Wang! I'm Harry!"
Seeing Wang Haoyu take the initiative to ask, Harry cleverly reached out his hand to introduce himself.
"Harry, I remember you."
"It's an honor to be remembered by the Professor! By the way, does your esteemed company hire Interns?"
As soon as Harry finished speaking, Peter Parker next to him also grew nervous.
Chapter 10 Chapter 10
Wang Haoyu took in the reactions of the two, the corner of his mouth slightly lifting.
The classmates chatting nearby were also drawn in by Harry's words, as this was a matter concerning their future.
"If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't be sure."
"But if it's you guys—no problem! Just mention my name when the time comes."
"But if you get fired for being lazy, don't blame me! Hahaha~"
Wang Haoyu's hearty laughter reassured everyone.
If Peter Parker really joined the Umbrella Group, wouldn't that be interesting?
Looking at the cheering classmates, Wang Haoyu nodded with a smile.
"Wow, Jane! That outfit suits you so well!"
"It's absolutely stunning!"
Mary Jane emerged gracefully from the bedroom, draped in a silver gauze dress, the hem dotted with starlight.
"Truly beautiful," Wang Haoyu praised, clapping his hands, a rare occurrence.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Mary Jane, having gotten her wish, broke into a brilliant smile.
"Professor, I have a request..."
Ding ding ding—A sudden phone ring interrupted Mary Jane.
"One moment."
Wang Haoyu took out his phone, his brow furrowing when he saw the caller ID—Why would Tonysuddenly contact me?
"Hello?"
"Mr. Wang, it's an emergency! Mr. Stark is unconscious in the Underground Room. Ordinary medical methods will likely be insufficient; we can only ask for your assistance." Jarvis's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"Understood, I'm returning immediately. First, tell me his current vital signs."
Wang Haoyu replied while giving Mary Jane an apologetic look, whispering, "I apologize, but I have an emergency patient who needs treatment." Before he finished speaking, he quickly left with Alice and the others.
At this moment, Tony's safety was clearly more important in his mind.
"Sigh..."
Watching Wang Haoyu's retreating back, Mary Jane silently swallowed the words inviting him to dance; the starlight on her skirt seemed to dim along with them.
"Jane, why did the Professor suddenly leave?" Harry, who was chatting idly, came over and asked.
"He said he had to go treat a patient," Mary Jane replied listlessly.
The speeding sports car cut through the night.
Wang Haoyu gripped the steering wheel with one hand, continuing his call with Jarvis: "Explain the incident in detail."
"Since your last suggestion for surgery, Mr. Stark has gradually reduced his reliance on the arc reactorto maintain his heartbeat. Just now, he suddenly fainted in the Underground Room... Mr. Wang, can you save him?" The electronic voice actually conveyed a hint of human earnestness.
"I'll do my best."
Wang Haoyu's lips were tightly pressed.
The accelerator pedal was floored, and the engine roared deafeningly.
Wang Haoyu drove his vehicle like lightning, completely shaking off the two Land Rover SUVs that were tailing him closely.
Wang Haoyu actually found this guy named Tony quite agreeable.
He gave away the Mark II battle armor just like that.
It was shipped directly to Wang Haoyu's residence that very day.
More importantly, the two got along extremely well.
It's just that sometimes the man liked to show off.
After speeding all the way, Wang Haoyu finally arrived at Tony Stark's mansion.
As Wang Haoyu's car approached, the intelligent butler Jarvis immediately opened the Villa gate.
"Prepare the medical equipment!"
Seeing Tony, pale-faced, lying on the ground assembling battle armor, Wang Haoyu shouted toward the Underground Laboratory.
"Understood, Mr. Wang."
Jarvis had taken full control of the laboratory system and immediately prepared a set of simple yet sufficient emergency medical equipment for Wang Haoyu.
Wang Haoyu quickly put on a White Coat, surgical knife in hand, and immediately began emergency surgery on Tony right there.
Time was pressing; Tony's condition allowed for no delay.
"Strange? Why are they all rushing to Tony's place? Did something happen?" Natasha, who was drinking wine on the balcony, frowned.
"Something happen? What could possibly happen?"
Hill, holding a coffee cup, was still getting used to her new roommate.
After all, when living alone, she could indulge in all her little habits freely.
Now that there was an outsider... she had to restrain herself somewhat.
"I don't know, let's go see!"
Natasha pulled Hill and rushed toward Tony's Villa.
Regardless, these two were key targets of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
If anything went wrong, the subsequent trouble would be huge.
"Apologies, ladies, the Master is currently discussing important matters with Mr. Wang. Please come back another day."
Seeing Black Widow, dressed in black leather, and Hill, dressed casually, rushing over, the bodyguards guarding the door immediately stepped forward to block them.
Although they didn't know the pair's intentions, the Captain's instructions were clear: absolutely no one was to be let in now.
"Oh, excuse me! It's just that Tony and I are quite close, and I have an urgent matter to discuss with him! Could you do me a favor?" Black Widow winked at Xu Mu and Lin Yan in front of her, twirling her hair around her finger coquettishly.
"Sorry, Xu Mu, rules are rules!" Xu Mu completely ignored Natasha's wink, his tone firm and decisive.
"Seriously, no compromise?"
"No way!"
"What if I insist on going in?"
"You try it!"
"You..." Natasha ground her teeth in anger, glaring at the stubborn Xu Mu in front of her.
"That's enough, Natasha!"
Hill yanked Black Widow back, stepped forward, and asked, "Seeing how tense you are, did something happen? The Villa owner and I are neighbors and friends. Can you tell us what's going on?" She rubbed her Sun Temple, looking toward Xu Mu.
"Madam Hill, Madam Natasha, I sincerely apologize for stopping you. However, it is truly inconvenient to receive guests right now." Before Xu Mu could speak, Jarvis's voice suddenly came through the access control system.
"Agents?"
Lin Yan and Xu Mu's nerves instantly tensed—anything related to those two words never meant good news!
"What's the meaning of this?" Black Widow saw Xu Mu adopt a fighting stance, and she nearly ground her back teeth to dust.
"What exactly is Mr. Stark's situation? Since you know our identities, you should know who we represent." Hill questioned Jarvis directly.
[Monthly Ticket Acknowledgements omitted]
"You may come in, but please remain calm. Mr. Wang is currently performing surgery on Mr. Stark." Jarvis responded after a brief silence—after all, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files were no secret to it.
It was precisely for this reason that Jarvis decided to let them in.
"Surgery? What happened?" Natasha frowned and immediately wanted to rush in to find out.
Boom!
A cluster of blazing Fire suddenly erupted from Lin Yan's palm.
"Please calm down. Although Jarvis agreed to let you in, we haven't given our nod yet."
"After all, you pose a considerable threat to my Young Master."
He stared coldly at the fiery-tempered woman in the black leather skirt.
"Don't worry, Madam Natasha! Tony still had shrapnel remaining inside his body from his time in the Middle East, and Mr. Wang was commissioned by him to perform the removal surgery," Jarvis explained concisely.
"Doctor Wang is performing surgery on Tony? Could we please go in and observe? If needed, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s medical team can provide support at any time."
Hill held back Natasha, who was about to speak, and smiled as she spoke to Jarvis and the two Asian guards.
She knew her old partner's fiery temper too well.
Xu Mu's voice suddenly came through the headset: "Let them in. We've got this."
"Go in, but please follow the rules."
Lin Yan and his companion exchanged glances before finally opening the passage.
"Jarvis, does Tony have any other arrangements scheduled?" Wang Haoyu casually asked during the surgery.
At this moment, he was fully focused on dealing with the shrapnel fragments clinging tightly to the heart, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Dinner was originally scheduled for nine o'clock tonight with Pepper Potts."
"Cancel it. This surgery will take at least five or six hours."
Wang Haoyu felt immense pressure—these deadly metal fragments were more dangerous than anticipated, no wonder no one dared to take on this surgery.
"Understood."
To protect Tony, Jarvis immediately sent Pepper a notification postponing the appointment.
This was probably the first benevolent lie Jarvis had told since becoming Tony's butler.
"Quickly call Alice in to help!"
Wang Haoyu was manipulating Tony's body and was close to collapsing.
This surgery absolutely could not be completed alone; it was utterly absurd!
"Alice, Mr. Wang urgently requires assistance."
Alice, who was waiting in the living room, heard the summons and immediately rushed toward the Underground Room.
"Jarvis, what's the situation down there?"
Hill and Natasha understood the severity of the situation through Jarvis—the surgery had begun, and now they could only pray that Wang Haoyu could truly save Tony.
"With Mr. Wang in charge down there, please trust him."
"Forceps!"
"Hemostat!"
"Gauze!"
"Syringe!"
"Suture thread!"
"Surgical needle!"
Alice, dressed in surgical scrubs, quickly assisted under Wang Haoyu's direction.
"Jarvis, are there still people upstairs?" Wang Haoyu suddenly asked.
"Your three bodyguards, plus Agent Hill and Agent Natasha, are all here."
"Call them all down to help!"
Wang Haoyu's eyelids kept twitching.
Now he could only rely on this group of people with zero medical experience.
He was determined to save Tony's life!
Notified by Jarvis, everyone came down to the Underground Room fully equipped.
Wang Haoyu immediately assigned tasks, leaving the highly suspicious Natasha thoroughly stifled.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought: assist Wang Haoyu in saving Tony.
After twenty-four hours, when Wang Haoyu cut the final suture thread, he collapsed completely beside the operating table.
"Young Master!"
"Doctor Wang!"
"Sir!"
Just as everyone was utterly exhausted, Wang Haoyu suddenly collapsed, a situation that was truly adding frost to snow!
"The Young Master fainted from exhaustion!"
Alice, equally exhausted, immediately stepped forward and, with Natasha's help, assisted Wang Haoyuto his feet.
"Thank you all!"
"Although Mr. Stark has not yet awakened, he certainly wouldn't mind if you all took a moment to rest here."
"Please allow me to show you the way."
Jarvis, who had witnessed the entire surgery, knew very well that Wang Haoyu had indeed depleted all his strength.
A nimble, small robot led the way for everyone.
"No need, we should return to our residence to rest. After all, we're not far next door."
After a brief hesitation, Alice politely declined Jarvis's suggestion.
Considering her own exhausted state and that of Xu Mu and the other two, if they stayed to rest at Tony's Villa, it might be difficult to fully protect Wang Haoyu.
"Understood. Jarvis sincerely thanks you all for your assistance."
Jarvis then respectfully escorted Alice and her party outside.
Natasha and Hill also returned to their respective residences and fell into a deep sleep.
Several hours later, inside Tony's bedroom.
Tony struggled to open his eyes.
"Jarvis!"
"Always at your service, Sir. It's truly wonderful that you are safe; otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do." Jarvis, who usually lacked humor, had managed a rare witty remark.
"What happened?"
"After you collapsed in the Underground Room, I contacted Mr. Wang Haoyu. Through his collaborative efforts with Alice, Xu Mu, Zhao Miao, Jin Sheng, Hill, Natasha, and others, you were finally rescued from danger."
