Chapter 73: The Tea

Spider-Man and the X-Men couldn't catch up. On one hand, they were slower than the armored, and on the other hand, there were people around who needed help. The recent explosion affected some individuals who hadn't signed any contracts.

Among them, Colossus had a special mission: to collect Wade's remaining parts and put them in a bag, waiting for his revival.

Don't judge Colossus by his burly appearance; he was actually a very meticulous man. Moreover, he had a preference for men.

The explosion had caused a commotion in both Queens and Manhattan. A rumor quickly spread online: "It was a long-range missile launched by the military that hit Queens due to a targeting error."

Many people believed in this rumor, and some even claimed to have seen the missile streaking across the sky, resulting in numerous casualties.

People in Queens and Manhattan were in panic, fleeing from these two areas. It's not that they were easily deceived, but the United States military wasn't trustworthy; they were capable of doing anything.

In fact, even General Ross had some doubts about whether the military had launched the missile.

With so many people fleeing together, traffic naturally got congested. This made the citizens even more anxious, fearing that the military's missile would rain down from the sky and blow them up.

"Is this like making easy money?"

Andrew chuckled, his awareness encompassing two large areas, drawing the fearful and despairing citizens into his realm, where Black Widows were promoting devil's safety insurance.

It's worth noting that the previous rumor had nothing to do with Andrew. He always reported only the truth—though sometimes it might be a biased truth, it's still the truth. He's an ethical media person.

In any country, there will always be people who thrive on chaos. The internet is undeniably convenient, but it also gives rise to numerous issues.

"Is this Manhattan or a battlefield in the Middle East?"

Tony caught up with Ivan and Obadiah on Broadway, and when he saw the scene below, he was astonished.

The once bustling street had turned into ruins, with burning cars and collapsed buildings, as if it had been swept by a missile.

The destructive power of the five Abominations was no less than that of a missile. Fortunately, with the help of the robots, there weren't too many casualties—most people chose to sign soul contracts.

It's worth mentioning that Spider-Woman Gwen and the masked Jessica Jones had already arrived at the scene. They didn't dare to confront the abominations directly but were busy rescuing injured soldiers and civilians nearby.

"So, this is the Hulk that the organization wanted?"

Looking at the massive green figure below, Obadiah's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, he launched a missile at the flying Green Goblin.

Boom! The missile hit the Green Goblin's aircraft and exploded. Norman was shocked and fell straight down from the sky.

Why did Obadiah attack the Green Goblin? Because he wanted to create more chaos. The Green Goblin was flying in the sky—if he didn't blow him up, who would he blow up?

Tony saw the situation and immediately flew over to catch the falling Green Goblin. Then, he threw him onto a rooftop and continued to pursue Ivan and Obadiah.

Norman, back on solid ground, felt relieved. At this moment, he noticed a camera below pointing directly at him, and his expression turned ugly. It seemed that the whole scene just now had been broadcasted.

He, Norman Osborn, had become a stepping stone for Iron Man!

This made Norman furious. He not only hated Obadiah but also hated Iron Man. These two guys had completely ruined his "debut" plan.

At this moment, a massive figure jumped from the ground to the rooftop. It was Abomination Number Three, whom he had been bombing.

"Green freak, your time's up."

Abomination Number Three charged towards Norman with a ferocious expression. Norman's face changed dramatically, and he immediately turned around to flee. Without the advantage of the sky, he was no match for the Abomination.

Iron Man didn't know much about the situation. While chasing Ivan and Obadiah, he called Nick Fury on the communicator, "With things like this, where's that guy who like to show off?"

Nick Fury replied, "Drinking tea on the rooftop."

"... "

Iron Man was speechless. At a time like this, that guy was actually drinking tea on the rooftop. Are you kidding me? He yelled, "Are you just going to watch him drink tea and do nothing?"

"I'm not doing nothing; I just can't do anything," Nick Fury sighed. "He only acts on his mood. Luckily, he's in a good mood right now. If he was mad, he would most likely take action."

"So, New York's safety depends on his mood?" Iron Man was quite dissatisfied, but his determination to become stronger grew stronger than ever. That guy was completely unreliable; New York had to rely on him to protect it.

Meanwhile, Ivan and Obadiah arrived at the Grayburn Academy, where Howard was battling Winter Soldier and the black-clad man, with Natasha assisting nearby.

Seeing Obadiah's arrival, the black-clad man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted, "Obadiah, help me stop this guy."

"Alright."

Obadiah immediately descended to block Howard's attacks. Ivan shouted unhappily, "Obadiah, what's the meaning of this? I want to kill Tony Stark; I'm not interested in helping you complete your mission."

"Here, you can confront Tony Stark one-on-one."

Obadiah explained to Ivan, then he shouted to the black-clad man, "Leave one behind; the other one takes the Hulk's blood and leaves."

"Winter Soldier, you stay."

The black-clad man didn't waste time and immediately left Winter Soldier behind, carrying the box and running away. Black Widow chased after him and called for other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to come and support.

At this moment, Iron Man and Psylocke arrived. Psylocke jumped down from the sky, rolling smoothly to land, while Tony angrily charged towards Ivan, and the two started their battle once again.

On the ground, Howard fought Obadiah fiercely, showing no mercy.

"Do you have to be this ruthless?" Obadiah cursed, evading Howard's axe and retaliating with a punch. Although he didn't know the situation, he was Iron monger and wasn't afraid of anything.

At the same time, Psylocke faced off against Bucky, both being top-level warriors. They exchanged moves, making the fight exceptionally thrilling, impressing even Andrew.

"Bucky has shown up; Captain America should be coming soon, right?" Andrew thought to himself. At this moment, he received a call from a Black Widow, "Boss, the military has decided to bombard Broadway Avenue to eliminate the Abomination. Additionally, their target is the spaceship."

The Black Widow Corps had an intelligence network rivaling S.H.I.E.L.D., and after Andrew took over, he not only retained this intelligence network but also increased investments in the United States region.

Both the White House and the military had the Black Widow's presence. And Andrew had ordered the Black Widows in advance, asking them to monitor the military's movements.
