68 Chapter 68: Recover

When Pietro fell to the ground with a serious injury, Jack knew something was wrong. But he was unable to do anything to help.

He tried to use his consciousness to control his body and assist them, but there was no response, even when he used all his strength.

He watched helplessly as Pietro lay dying on the ground and saw the people rushing in to take him away. He saw Pietro lying unconscious in Wanda's arms and the captain closing the door.

He knew what would happen next, but he was powerless to stop it.

He felt completely helpless and realized the true meaning of powerlessness. Despite his anxiousness and desperation, it seemed that the universe heard him.

Huh?!

Suddenly, Jack felt a strange energy surge through his body and connect with the Infinity Stones' Energy.

In an instant, the stones glowed brightly, and a massive burst of energy flowed through Jack's body, healing all of his injuries and restoring him with an immense surge of power.

With a powerful shockwave, the energy exploded from Jack's body and knocked out the team outside.

Jack fell to the ground but quickly recovered and went inside the house without hesitation or delay, passing through the wooden door as if it was not there.

The team leader inside the room reacted quickly when he heard a loud explosion outside and immediately grabbed Wanda and stood in front of himself.

"I'll only say it once!"

Jack calmly looked at the situation inside the room and said, "Let her go, and I'll let you leave."

He pointed a gun at her head, and Jack had just barged in.

Although the team leader had seen his fair share of difficulties, he had never seen someone pass through a wooden door like that. He thought of the mission they were on and knew that this person was special. This mission was as good as suicide!

In his mind, he cursed his superior for sending them on this mission but tried to stay calm on the surface and asked, "What happened to my team member?"

"Dead. If you don't want to die, consider my proposal," Jack replied.

Jack glanced at Pietro lying on the ground and locked eyes with the team leader. "I'll count to three. Either put down your gun or die!"

"Crash~"

The captain was decisive and knew he was no match for Jack. Even with a hostage, he couldn't escape. He quickly dropped his gun and raised his hands to show he had no ill intentions.

However, as a result, Wanda, who was being held captive, fell to the ground.

"I thought you would hold out a little longer." Jack glanced at him unexpectedly and hurriedly went over to catch Wanda.

At the same time, with a slight thought, the captain was lifted by an unknown force and slammed against the wall. Then, just like how Jack entered the room earlier, he disappeared through the wall, leaving only his head visible outside.

After witnessing this scene, the captain was even more grateful that he hadn't been stubborn earlier. Otherwise, he might not have even had his head left.

"Save Peter!"

Wanda grabbed Jack's sleeve, looking at him pleadingly, "Please!"

"Of course, my angel!" Jack nodded solemnly, bent over, and picked up Peter from the ground. With Wanda, the three of them disappeared in a burst of blue light.

Only the captain remained, implanted in the wooden wall with a empty look in his eyes.

He hasn't come out yet...

Meanwhile, the three of them reappeared on Jack's spaceship in near-Earth orbit.

"Red Queen, prepare the medical bay!" Jack shouted as soon as they arrived, and a direction appeared on the ground directing them to the medical department.

Without hesitation, Jack carried Pietro and ran to the medical bay. In the center of the bay, a large medical pod was ready for use, with medical robots standing by.

Jack carefully placed Pietro inside the pod and stepped back as the robots took over. With the technology on their spaceship, as long as the brain was not affected, Pietro would be fine.

Learning this outcome, Wanda, who was exhausted, could no longer support herself and collapsed into Jack's arms.

Looking at her pale face, Jack felt guilt wash over him. If it weren't for him, Pietro wouldn't have been hurt, and Wanda wouldn't have been so frightened.

Carrying Wanda to the bedroom and gently folding her into bed, Jack left the room and went to the bridge.

"Find out who ordered this mission! I want the person responsible to pay for it!" Jack suppressed his anger. He wanted the person who planned this mission to pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price.

The Red Queen wasted no time in doing what Jack told her to do. In under ten minutes, she hacked into the Sokovian government's network and found important information about the mission.

To his surprise, the mission was not issued by the Sokovian authorities. In fact, they had no idea what the Taskmaster was up to. Therefore, the Red Queen's investigation produced very little information.

All they knew was that the Taskmaster's direct superior had assigned the mission to their captain, who happened to be someone they knew.

That person was none other than Helmut Zemo, the colonel who manipulated the Avengers into Civil War in Captain America: Civil War. Movie

Jack didn't care about Taskmaster; he was just a poor pawn used as a tool. If he had harmed Wanda, he would not have survived. In fact, he wouldn't survive for much longer anyway.

Jack had already implanted a trace of energy in his body, which would explode and shatter his heart when the time came.

He only wants to find the mastermind behind this and make them pay the price.

Who knows if Jack would immediately return and finish the job if he knew that Zemo had already tried to shoot, but the gun jammed.

"Found it!" Red Queen's voice sounded again, and a satellite image suddenly appeared on the big screen.

"What is this?" Jack frowned, feeling somewhat familiar.

"This is a castle on the edge of Sokovia. Three hours ago, a signal was sent from the castle to the Taskmaster's phone of the EKO Scorpion, and then the incident happened," said Red Queen.

"A castle on the edge of Sokovia?!" exclaimed Jack, suddenly realizing who was behind this.

"It's his old nemesis, Hydra!"
