In the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury turned off the video.

"Tony Stark, do you really think you are the savior of this world?"

"Taking the initiative to admit that you are Iron Man will definitely have a huge impact."

"It seems that superhero affairs and plans can no longer be kept secret."

"Jaxon refused to join the Avengers because S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by Hydra. But he chose to help when necessary, which is good news."

"Hydra is really hard to deal with."

Thinking of this, Nick Fury felt a bit of a migraine.

In Manhattan, a blind man stopped to listen to Tony Stark's official announcement: "I am Iron Man."

Beside him, his friend continued, "Matt, are you also interested in that playboy Tony Stark?"

These two people were none other than Daredevil 'Matt Murdock' and his good friend Foggy Nelson.

The two men partnered to open a law firm called Murdock Nelson & Co. However, they haven't found a suitable apartment to use as office space yet and are currently looking for one.

Matt didn't say anything. Foggy sighed, "If we were as rich as him, maybe we wouldn't have to run around looking for a cheap apartment."

"However, I believe that our law firm will definitely get better and better."

Matt replied absentmindedly, "Yeah, it's going to get better."

The two had no choice but to continue looking for a low-priced apartment, but such apartments were hard to find in Manhattan.

After a busy day, Matt returned to his rental apartment and recalled Tony Stark's words for a long time.

Matt was blind and in darkness, but he could bear it.

However, when he discovered that the entire Manhattan area, the entire city, was shrouded in darkness, he felt a sense of urgency. Under that darkness, countless sins were breeding and lurking everywhere.

Matt could no longer "sit back and do nothing," and as a lawyer, he could do something. Besides that, he felt that perhaps he should also bring his own abilities into play.

When night fell, Matt came to the church, prayed, and confessed to the priest.

When Matt left the church, a hero walking in the darkness, Daredevil, was born.

That night, Matt heard a cry for help in the distance and chased it all the way to the dock.

Several bandits had captured some women and planned to sell them as merchandise. These people were Matt's target.

Matt jumped out of the container and fought several gangsters.

Matt appeared unexpectedly, and with his powerful fighting skills, he easily knocked down several gangsters.

However, the gangsters in this city could easily obtain weapons. Matt was at a disadvantage with his bare hands, but fortunately, he was agile and, with the help of cover, easily defeated all the gangsters. Although he didn't kill them, Matt did not hold back when dealing with these bandits, and his attacks were quite heavy.

Looking at the women in the container, Matt urged, "Run away quickly and call the police."

When the women saw Matt appear, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally saved.

"Thank you."

The women were about to escape when Matt heard a subtle noise behind him—one of the gangsters was about to shoot.

For ordinary people, a gun is fast from seven steps away; it is both accurate and quick within that distance. But Matt is not an ordinary person.

Within those seven steps, he was faster than the gangster's gun.

As the gangster raised his hand, Matt had already grabbed his arm. A simple set of combos eliminated the threat of the gun.

Then, he pushed the man to the ground and beat him up.

Among the women in the container, one brave enough popped her head out and saw the gangsters being knocked down by Matt.

Matt deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Get out of here!"

Watching these women escape, Matt also chose to leave and disappeared into the darkness.

The victims were rescued, and several criminals were captured. This should have been something to celebrate, but George just couldn't be happy.

"What's wrong with this world?"

"First, there was the Black Spiderman who could lift a car, then the Playboy turned into Iron Man, and now there's a masked man in an autumn coat appearing at night. Is that the Autumn Coat Man?"

"These masked men can't be left unchecked. I must find out their true identities and bring them to justice."

George continued to drink his coffee sullenly.

The next day, the king of Hell's Kitchen, Kingpin, also got the news.

If someone destroyed his business, he could accept it and just send someone to retaliate. However, the one who showed up last night was Daredevil, and he was no ordinary man.

"Superhero?"

"No matter who it is, no one can stop my business!"

"These superheroes must be dealt with. Our business will definitely be affected if they are around."

Kingpin appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely angry inside. He could feel how greatly the emergence of these superheroes would impact him.

Tony Stark was fine; he was a playboy and a superhero in the public eye, so it was very likely that this won't affect him.

But Daredevil chooses to act at night and fight crime. You know, the source of all evil in the entire city can basically be traced back to Kingpin.

As long as Daredevil exists, it is possible to disrupt a business deal.

How could Kingpin tolerate the existence of Daredevil?

"Strengthen your defenses. Also, find this person. I want to know who he is."

"I want him to understand the consequences of offending me."

James Wesley, who was beside Kingpin, immediately said, "I'll send someone to take care of it."

"I feel relieved to leave it to you."

Daredevil's deeds also made headlines in the newspapers.

There have been so many exciting events in the past two days that netizens can't stop discussing the gossip.

First, there was the sudden appearance of the Black Spiderman, then Iron Man, and now the "Autumn Man," dazzling everyone.

Betty was also a loyal spectator, "What's wrong with this world? So many strange people have appeared one after another. Is something big going to happen?"

"Who knows?"

"Do you remember what Tony Stark said? He mentioned that there are many potential threats in this world. Are these threats about to surface?"

"Is the end of the world coming?"

"How is that possible? You don't really believe the rumors about the end of the world in 2012, do you?"

More and more people were discussing this, and of course, the conversation was moving further and further away from the events themselves, with all sorts of outrageous statements beginning to emerge.

The end of the world is coming!

Tony Stark is the savior!

In fact, all of this is a conspiracy by those politicians.

Betty looked at Jaxon, who was passing by, and greeted him, "Jaxon, have you heard about Autumn Man?"

"Autumn Man?"

"That's it."

Jaxon read the news and discovered that this autumn-clad hero was Daredevil.

"Jaxon, tell me, with the sudden appearance of so many strange people, is it because something big is about to happen?"

Jaxon was stunned for a moment, "I don't know; maybe a new era has begun."

"A new era?"

"The age of superheroes."

Betty was still a little confused, but Jaxon didn't explain too much. He just returned to his seat and watched the news.

'Daredevil has appeared, and Spider-Man is about to be born.'

'I don't know how many people are hiding in the darkness, ready to make a move.'

Jaxon's guess was correct; someone had already started to take action.

The appearance of Iron Man made people begin to study armor technology.

Hammer Group and many technology companies were preparing to follow suit and build armor!

Anton Vanko watched the news about Tony Stark and started researching the Ark Reactor!

Norman Osborn contacted Otto to study nuclear energy, aiming for a small and controllable nuclear energy source like the Ark reactor.

In a research base, Bruce Banner prepared to use gamma rays to complete the super slldier serum!

A new era has begun, and Tony is busy again.

Obadiah dies, and Tony takes over Stark Industries once more.

Although other directors had opinions, they were unable to stop it. However, before it was Obadiah who managed the company; now it must be Tony who manages it.

This was really too much trouble for playboy Tony.

After much deliberation, Tony decided to appoint Pepper as the CEO of Stark Industries to manage the entire company. To this end, Tony also found a good excuse: he wanted to focus on researching new products himself.

The clean energy generated by the Ark Reactor is just one of the development directions.

However, this project alone is not enough; other products are also needed. For this reason, Pepper had no choice but to take office as CEO of Stark Industries, starting a busy life.

Jaxon's life didn't change much. He went to school as usual and developed relationships with several beautiful girls, all while preparing to visit Osborne Industries.

Jaxon was also getting ready to make the spider bite Gwen.
