An hour after the Earth-based weapon disaster, a quinjet burning with black flames flew to the Space Station. Immediately after, Andrew, with Natasha in a spacesuit, walked out of the quinjet.
Why was Andrew here? Of course, it was to save the people in the Space Station. As for Natasha, she strongly insisted on coming along, so Andrew brought her with him.
Additionally, the current version of the quinjet uses a Turbo engine and cannot go into Space. It only gains the Ability to go into Space after being upgraded to a plasma engine—in the movie, Hulk took a quinjet to outer Space.
This is why Andrew demonized the quinjet with Hellfire.
"What a miserable Space Station. Fortunately, it no longer belongs to me."
Andrew looked at the dilapidated Space Station and smiled. Natasha shook her head and said, "I hope Tony has the life to feel sorry for this Space Station. Among Super Heroes, he should be the most unlucky one, getting kidnapped every now and then."
"In the future, we can rename him Kidnap Man."
As they spoke, the two walked into the Space Station and found everyone collapsed on the ground, including Tony Stark in his suit. Natasha rushed forward to check on everyone. A moment later, she said joyfully, "They're all still alive."
"More than just alive."
Andrew's eyes flickered slightly. Whether it was the Fantastic Four or those Mutant, their vitality was exceptionally strong, which meant they had all been enhanced.
To be honest, Andrew was very much looking forward to what kind of changes Mystique and the others would undergo.
"It's not good to stay here long. Let's go back."
Andrew picked up Susan and said to Natasha, "Susan and Frank are my people, I'm taking them. As for the rest, you can deal with them yourselves."
Although Nick Fury had said to bring everyone back, Natasha dared not object to Andrew at all. She nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for helping us."
Then, Andrew used the quinjet to bring everyone back to Earth. Pepper received the news and cried tears of joy. She made up her mind that she must make Tony give up being a Super Hero.
Being a Super Hero was simply too dangerous. If Tony were as powerful as Ghost Rider, then Pepper wouldn't have any objections. The problem was, he wasn't, and he got kidnapped every day.
Soon, the Hellfire quinjet landed at the Rocket Base, and a group of Agents came out to help. It's worth mentioning that John Garrett did not come out. It wasn't that he was neglecting Andrew, but rather that he didn't dare to meet Andrew.
The reason was simple: Garrett was HYDRA, and Pierce had given orders that all HYDRA members should stay away from Andrew to prevent him from discovering HYDRA's existence.
HYDRA was full of fear towards Andrew, not only because he was powerful but also because he could see through sin.
Then, Andrew drove Susan and Frank back to Rebirth Group. As for Fire Fox, he had no interest in her and temporarily left her with S.H.I.E.L.D..
It's worth mentioning that the X-Men were also at the Rocket Base. They wanted to take Professor Charles back to the Mutant Academy. S.H.I.E.L.D. was quite unwilling, and the two sides started arguing.
At this moment, Red Devil woke up quite 'coincidentally.' He shook his head and instantly teleported away.
"This harvest is really good: over a hundred thousand souls, the soul contracts of the Professor, Dr. Reed, and others, the Cosmic Storm, the Space Stone—each better than the last. Mutant are truly good people."
Andrew sighed inwardly. At this point, the Earth-based weapon disaster incident temporarily came to an end, but the storm it stirred up had only just begun.
The public's hatred for Mutant grew, with some even attacking Mutant on the streets. This led to more and more Mutant wanting to return to being ordinary people, to the point where Times Square wasn't big enough for them all.
Additionally, various countries were very dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D. for failing to prevent the Earth-based weapon disaster. Nick Fury's position was precarious. To protect him, Pierce visited high-ranking officials every day, talking himself hoarse.
Nick Fury was full of gratitude towards Pierce. Without him, he would never have become the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., nor would he have held that position for over a decade.
What Nick Fury didn't know was that Pierce was secretly cursing him out. If HYDRA didn't need Nick Fury as Director, he would never have worked so hard for Nick Fury.
Although Nick Fury was not HYDRA, everything he did was more HYDRA than HYDRA itself.
As for why the tungsten rod above Washington suddenly disappeared? The common explanation was that a mysterious Mutant had acted, and because of the message he left, many Washington residents chose to move. President Ellis even left the White House to work elsewhere.
Heaven knows when that tungsten rod will come back.
Besides the above, there was another major event: Stark Industries's stock price once again plummeted.
On one hand, the Space Station was destroyed, causing heavy losses for Stark Industries. On the other hand, during its transition period, Stark Industries relied entirely on Iron Man to maintain its presence. Now that Iron Man was repeatedly kidnapped, shareholders lost confidence in him, and the stock price naturally crashed.
Pepper was overwhelmed by this. It must be said that Tony Stark's Ability to find such a good woman was truly a blessing from a previous life.
...
Internationally, there was a famous arms conglomerate called McCullen Group. At this moment, MacAllan, the CEO of McCullen Group, was watching a report on the Earth-based weapon disaster incident.
"Threatening the whole world with an Earth-based weapon? That's a really good idea."
MacAllan stroked his chin and decided to create one himself. With the technology of McCullen Group, it should be achievable.
...
Half a month later, at a shooting range owned by Rebirth Group, Frank held two guns and continuously fired at the targets. After all the bullets were expended, he threw away the two guns, and with a shake of his hands, two guns appeared out of thin air in his hands.
Susan exclaimed, "Wow, Frank, your Ability is so cool."
"If this Ability were used for smuggling, you could definitely become a billionaire."
Andrew said. Frank's Ability was a storage Space. Although it's a common Ability in novels, in reality, it's quite powerful.
Susan retorted, "You're an angel, why do you have so many criminal thoughts in your head?"
"It's just a suggestion."
Andrew shrugged. Frank turned his head and said, "Money means nothing to me. I like this Ability; now I can carry an arsenal with me."
"You don't care about money?"
Andrew said to Susan, "Fire Frank. He doesn't care about money, yet he works for us. He's either after your body or my body."
"Nonsense."
Susan punched Andrew. Frank couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why don't I care about money? Isn't it because I'm following you, a Demon King?
Money no longer meant anything to Frank. What he cared about was longevity; he wanted all his family members to live long lives.
Andrew asked, "Susan, how well have you mastered your Ability?"
"I have two Abilities: one is invisibility, and the other is an energy barrier. Of these, I have already mastered the energy barrier."
Susan said, "But invisibility is still hit or miss."
Andrew stroked his chin and asked in a low voice, "Like last time, when you were walking around in front of me without clothes on, and then it suddenly failed?"
