"No need, I'll go back with you all later. I haven't thanked you yet."
President Ellis shook his head repeatedly. What a joke! What if he got kidnapped again halfway? Of course, he'd rather stay with the Super Heroes for now.
"Nick Fury, where is Killian?"
Tony flew onto the deck and asked Nick Fury, "I know you know."
Nick Fury replied, "He's fighting Hulk in Miami. He's no match for Hulk and is already at a disadvantage."
"Miami?"
Everyone exclaimed, and Steve hurriedly asked, "Were any citizens affected by the battle?"
Nick Fury said, "Very few. The Peace Knights have been rescuing people. Also, after Killian was teleported to Miami, for some reason, he stopped in place for two minutes, not moving at all."
"Stopped in place for two minutes?"
Everyone was stunned. Then, they realized that someone had intentionally teleported Killian to Miami to have Hulk deal with him.
With Hulk's strength, Killian's Death was only a matter of time.
"Could it be Carter went to make a deal with the Demon King? No, if it was a deal with the Demon King, it wouldn't be this troublesome."
Steve was very puzzled. He didn't know that not everyone's soul was as valuable as his.
Garrett changed the subject and asked Dr. Banner, "Banner, when will you be as reliable as Hulk?"
Dr. Banner unhappily said, "This world has really changed. Before, everyone was afraid of Hulk and liked Banner. Now, everyone likes Hulk and dislikes Banner."
"Banner, wake up. No one liked you, neither before nor now."
Tony said, and everyone burst into laughter. Although this battle was thrilling, they won nonetheless—though they weren't quite sure how they won.
At this moment, Nick Fury asked, "Captain, did you find the Rage serum on Seven?"
Steve had only told Tony about the Rage serum privately; no one else knew.
"No, it might have been destroyed by the energy grenade."
Steve said without changing his expression. Tony glanced at him in surprise, then realized that Steve also suspected Nick Fury.
Tony secretly thought, "That guy really has a problem."
Nick Fury sighed repeatedly, "What a pity. Alas, this time, our S.H.I.E.L.D. suffered heavy losses but gained nothing."
"Your biggest gain was saving me. Don't worry, I will never let S.H.I.E.L.D. suffer a loss."
President Ellis guaranteed. Tony secretly rolled his eyes. It was obvious that Nick Fury was deliberately pretending to be poor and pathetic earlier.
Having received President Ellis's assurance, Nick Fury was overjoyed. He ordered, "Garrett, interrogate those Extremis Warriors and find out what Killian really wants to do."
Natasha said, "I bet Garrett's going to pull out his phone next."
Everyone laughed. Garrett didn't care. He openly took out his phone and said, "I dare you all not to watch Quick Shake."
"That won't do. I really want to know why I was kidnapped, and who The Mastermind is?"
President Ellis leaned closer, and others also took out their phones, hoping Roxanne's live truth broadcast had already started.
"These bastards are hopeless."
Nick Fury cursed, took out his phone from his pocket, and skillfully opened Quick Shake.
Roxanne didn't disappoint everyone; she had already begun reporting the truth: "Everything started on New Year's Eve in 1999. At that time, Killian was still a cripple. He approached his idol Tony, wanting him to invest in his project.
Unfortunately, Tony was holding Maya Hansen at the time and had no interest in dealing with Killian. To make him leave, Tony tricked him into going to the rooftop, saying he would come up to find him in five minutes.
The result, as we all guessed, was that Tony Stark would certainly not abandon a beauty for a cripple. So, Killian stood on the rooftop for two hours in the cold wind. Finally, he climbed onto the railing, ready to jump.
Of course, he didn't jump. He completely turned evil, becoming a Super Villain who kidnapped the President and carried out terrorist attacks."
Hearing this, everyone collectively turned to look at Tony, who had a speechless expression: "fuck, it was just such a small matter. I thought I had tricked him into bankruptcy. Come on, that was just a prank!"
"It's a small matter to you, but a big matter to him. Being deceived by your idol can really make you want to die."
Electro sighed, "Back then, I considered Spider-Man my best friend, but it turned out he didn't even know who I was."
Everyone was speechless. The Super Heroes decided to treat their fans better in the future to avoid similar incidents.
"Do I have fans?"
Dr. Banner blinked. Clearly, this was a sad question.
"I think everyone is curious about why Killian did all this?"
Roxanne continued, "It's simple. He wanted to kill the President and have the Vice President take office. Everything he did, including ambushing Iron Man, kidnapping the President, and attacking Miami, was to put the Vice President in power."
"The Mastermind is actually the Vice President."
Everyone was shocked, including President Ellis. That old guy looked honest on the surface, but he was so insidious in secret.
"fuck, if you want to seize power, why involve us?"
The Miami citizens cursed. They didn't care who became President, so why attack them?
In the Capitol Building, the Vice President, also watching Quick Shake, pointed at the screen and shouted in shock and anger, "She's slandering me! She's slandering me!"
"You bastard!"
A Congressman stood up and shouted loudly, "Quickly arrest him! He is suspected of treason and murder!"
Agents all pointed their guns at the Vice President. The Vice President panicked. Just as he was about to say something, he saw one of the Agents wink at him.
The meaning of this wink was simple: "You must die. If you don't die, all your family will die. If you die, your family will be properly taken care of."
The Vice President gave a tragic smile. He never expected to fall to this point. He was only one step away from the presidential seat before.
"I was too greedy. I was greedy for my daughter's limb regeneration and also for the President's power. One thought, heaven; one thought, Rebirth Hell. I shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess from the beginning."
The Vice President sighed and lunged at the Agents, as if trying to grab a gun.
"Don't kill him!"
The Congressman shouted hurriedly. There must be others behind the Vice President, and they needed him alive.
Unfortunately, the Agents didn't care so much. Bang, bang, bang, they fired. The Vice President screamed and fell to the ground, blood rapidly flowing from his chest.
"Shit."
The Congressman cursed and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly save him!"
Leaving aside what happened in the building for now, on the abandoned oil tanker, after watching the live broadcast, Tony and President Ellis exchanged glances, both feeling that this matter was not so simple. There must be others behind the Vice President.
"Cooperate."
President Ellis whispered to Tony. The other party wanted to kill him, so he definitely had to fight back, otherwise who would still take him seriously?
"Cooperate."
Tony nodded. The people behind Killian clearly held ill will towards him. He wanted to find them, teach them a harsh lesson, and even completely eliminate them.
"I'll cooperate too."
Nick Fury said. The forces behind Killian were related to the mysterious forces, and he wanted to get involved.
Thus, an alliance was formed, an alliance to jointly deal with the Oil Interest Groups.
After discussing the cooperation, Tony secretly found Steve, only to discover that Steve was also looking for him.
Tony smiled, "No need to say more about the Rage serum. I'll keep your secret."
"That's good. Tony, have you noticed that S.H.I.E.L.D. has some problems?"
Steve asked. He wanted to take the opportunity to pull Tony into his and Carter's small team to deal with the darkness within S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Very problematic."
Tony looked at Steve and said, "Earlier, Ivan told me that the mysterious force is HYDRA."
"What? HYDRA? This is impossible."
Steve first exclaimed in disbelief, then fell into thought. A moment later, he gave a bitter smile and said, "I never thought it would be HYDRA."
In fact, Steve had vaguely sensed this matter before, but he was unwilling to believe it, as eliminating HYDRA was his and Carter's greatest achievement.
Unfortunately, reality was cruel. HYDRA not only resurrected but also became even stronger.
Steve sighed, "Cut off one head, and two more grow. It's truly difficult to eliminate HYDRA."
"No matter how difficult, we must kill them."
Tony gritted his teeth and said, "Ivan also told me that my parents were killed by people sent by HYDRA."
Steve's mouth opened, wanting to talk about Bucky's situation, but found it too difficult to say and could only close his mouth.
"Bucky is too pitiful. He fought HYDRA for half his life, only to become HYDRA's puppet and kill his former comrades. Of course, Howard and Tony are also very pitiful."
Steve's mind was a bit muddled. He said, "Let's talk in detail when we get back to New York. Then, I'll introduce someone to you. Don't worry, she's definitely not HYDRA."
"She? Captain, it seems you're quite popular with women."
Tony nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to New York."
Half an hour later, Killian was completely defeated by Hulk and could no longer heal himself. He looked up at the sky, filled with unwillingness. Was he, after all, unable to fight against fate?
"I'm not reconciled!"
Killian roared. His response was the Adamantium hammer smashing down fiercely.
Bang! Killian's head burst open, signaling his Death.
Andrew turned his hand, collecting Killian's soul into Rebirth Hell. Then, he stripped out the parts of Killian's memory related to the Extremis.
Andrew secretly thought, "The original intention of the Extremis was to allow disabled people to return to normal. If I can solve the high-temperature problem, I will gain a large number of souls."
"Hulk, invincible!"
Seeing Killian killed, a cheer erupted in the city. Clearly, the citizens loved Hulk—without him, Miami would have been destroyed, twice.
"Hulk, invincible!"
Hulk laughed heartily and left with the Peace Knights. This incident officially came to an end.
