Chapter 364 Power
"Wait a minute."
Steve suddenly recalled something, his eyes fixed on Eddie, and he said in a deep voice, his eyebrows furrowing, "Who did you say you were accompanying to pursue the criminal?"
"Master from the Carl Family," Eddie responded without hesitation.
Natasha nodded, murmuring, "Now that you mention it, I did see you bringing Master to inspect the Stark Industries office during the day. I heard you even spent half an hour in the CEO's office."
"But, did you leave Master alone in the bar?" Natasha couldn't help widening her beautiful eyes.
"Seems like it..." Eddie realized belatedly, turning abruptly. It dawned on him that apprehending the criminal was secondary; his main mission was to protect Caesar's personal safety.
And at this moment, if the criminals weren't among their two groups, then they must still be lurking inside the bar!
"Is Master Caesar in danger?"
The members of the Avengers were stunned for a moment before following Eddie as they prepared to rush back through the damaged rear entrance. But the next moment, a series of frantic screams erupted from inside the dance hall.
Immediately after, a male scream akin to a pig being slaughtered rang out, and the wall of the bar building facing the back street collapsed. Amidst the explosion of debris from inside to outside, a middle-aged man's figure tumbled tragically to the feet of Eddie and the others.
The middle-aged man lay on his back, his face turned skyward, with one arm grotesquely broken. The remaining arm emitted a strange red light, with white-hot smoke billowing out, as if the palm had turned into an object of searing heat, revealing the blazing red blood vessels and tendons inside.
With Steve and the others on high alert, the man rolled his eyes in pain, losing consciousness and fainting, his arm gradually returning to its normal state as the redness and high temperature subsided.
"What's this?"
The members of the Avengers hadn't yet reacted when another dull sound of impact came from inside the bar, followed by the second bald man flying out in the air.
Without the cushioning of the wall, the bald man traced a parallel line in the air for ten meters before finally crashing heavily into the alley wall opposite the bar, his head bursting like a watermelon upon impact, instantly dying on the spot.
His hands also showed signs of high-temperature burns, with muscles and skin self-disintegrating and melting. The thick, viscous blood dripping from his fingertips onto the ground sizzled, corroding the cement floor.
The entire process took place in just three seconds.
By the time Steve and the others realized what was happening, the two undercover criminals were already lying on the ground, one dead and one injured.
"What's... going on?" Steve looked at the criminals on the ground, then at the bar where the scattered customers were fleeing, feeling a bit astonished and dazed despite his wealth of combat experience.
The others weren't faring any better, all looking bewildered as they turned their gaze towards the inside of the bar.
"Easy, easy." Eddie calmly waved his hand, sighing softly as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is all the work of the Little Master."
"Huh?"
The members of the Avengers were in disarray in the wind.
Eddie wasn't wrong this time. All of this was indeed due to Caesar taking action. To understand the cause and effect, we need to rewind time to five minutes ago.
Five minutes ago.
After misunderstanding and fighting with Steve, Eddie left the bar from the rear door, leaving Caesar alone in the dance hall with Annie, Jane, and Lucy, the three women.
For any other male, it might have been an extremely luxurious situation, but unfortunately, given Caesar's current age and development, even if he had the desire, he lacked the physical capital to do what adults love to do.
Caesar behaved obediently in Annie's arms, his big eyes rolling around as he observed the bustling dance hall surroundings.
"He's so cute." Jane smiled brightly at Caesar and reached out to touch his short golden hair, but Caesar's little hand stopped hers halfway.
"Don't even mention Thor's girlfriend; even Thor's mother isn't qualified to touch my head."
Caesar thought coldly, his small face displaying a mature coldness unlike that of a baby, as he controlled the force to gently knock Jane's hand away.
"Don't mind him." Annie hastily intervened to defuse the situation.
Jane hesitated for a moment, slightly embarrassed as she withdrew her hand. Lucy, standing beside her, comforted her with a pat on the shoulder.
Lucy gazed at Caesar with wide beautiful eyes. For some reason, she always felt a strange sense of familiarity emanating from his small body.
On a whim, she blinked and said, "Annie, didn't you say his identity would shock us? Why not introduce him?"
"Well..."
Annie glanced down at Caesar as if seeking his consent, which only added to the incredulity of Jane and Lucy.
Caesar nodded slightly at Annie, as there was no need to conceal his identity. He even welcomed the idea of letting some interested parties know, especially those who had come a long way to deliver a head.
With Annie's approval, she happily began, "His name is Caesar Carl, the son of Mr. Kyle, Symbol of Peace, and the rumored hero candidate 'Son of God' six months ago!"
"Mr. Kyle's child?"
Jane and Lucy were truly shocked, nearly exclaiming aloud. Jane was purely surprised, while Lucy, in addition to surprise, also harbored a mix of joy, sadness, and relief.
She still couldn't easily forget that man.
Lucy sighed inwardly, looking at Caesar with a gaze containing a hint of warm affection and tenderness.
As someone who had been through a lot, Caesar naturally knew what she was thinking. Deliberately turning his head away, he looked towards the people immersed in the revelry of the welcoming song and dance.
Just then, two men, chatting and laughing, approached from afar, their eyes wandering over Annie and the women, their deep-set eyes occasionally revealing beast-like desires.
Annie and the others were still chatting, apparently unaware of the danger approaching from the side.
Caesar frowned slightly, closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again, a flash of white light passing through his eyes, causing the scene before him to undergo a dramatic transformation once more.
He looked directly at Jane and Lucy across from him, his gaze piercing through their dresses to see their bare bodies. This was just the beginning; soon, his vision delved deeper, like a medical laser, penetrating through the skeletal structure, internal organs, and densely packed blood vessels of the human body.
Caesar realized with astonishment that in his eyes, Jane and Lucy had turned into moving skeletons, with the heart in the left chest cavity still beating within the framework, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine.
These were the eyes of a Kryptonian, displaying the third type of superpower besides telescopic and microscopic vision — X-ray vision!
Glancing sideways, Caesar saw that the two suspicious men had also turned into skeletons, but unlike ordinary humans, their internal organs were like a blazing fire, their life forms burning fiercely within their bodies!
These two were the criminals who attacked Stark employees!
"Who is Eddie chasing after?"
Caesar murmured helplessly, watching as the two criminals approached. He immediately tapped Annie's arm lightly, and Annie instinctively released her hands. In less than 0.1 seconds, Caesar in her arms vanished without a trace.
For Caesar, a few meters was nothing at all.
It was like teleporting in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Caesar appeared above the heads of the two criminals, startling them. Their reaction, though faster than ordinary humans, was still relatively slow. They raised their arms in attack or defense, their palms opening to unleash a blazing red-hot temperature as if flipping a switch!
The temperature soared, and the dance hall of the bar suddenly became hot!
