Chapter: 338

"Sam, Wanda, you don't have to accompany me on this mission," Captain said with some guilt as he looked at Scarlet Witch and Falcon, who were leaving the hotel with him. Originally, he hadn't intended to bring the two of them along.

However, little did he know that both Sam and Wanda had been holding back their frustrations, and upon seeing Green Goblin's provocation again, they couldn't contain their emotions any longer. They stormed out of the room, each intending to act independently.

So, these three individuals with the same idea coincidentally crossed paths at the right time and place, leading to the current situation where Captain had to allow Scarlet Witch and Falcon to join his operation.

"Don't say that, Cap. Even if you didn't ask for our help, we would still go after Green Goblin on our own. Instead of each of us fighting separately, it's better to unite and form a stronger force.

Besides, Cap, you're not exactly adept at using modern technology and computers for complex operations. Without us, finding the location where Green Goblin is holding T'Challa and Bucky would be quite a challenge!"

Falcon's first half of the statement touched Captain, making him feel appreciated for finally finding a like-minded ally within the Avengers.

However, when Falcon bluntly delivered the second half of his statement, Captain's face turned red, and he suddenly felt a blow to his pride. While it was true that he wasn't proficient with modern technology, Falcon's straightforward words wounded his self-esteem.

Feeling quite wounded himself, Captain gave Falcon a disapproving look and ended their conversation.

Seeing the conversation between the two come to an end, Scarlet Witch quickly patted Falcon's shoulder and eagerly asked, "So, have you pinpointed the location of the two we need to rescue?"

"It's getting there. I've narrowed down the search area, but to get more precise results, it's beyond my semi-amateur level. We'd need someone like Natasha, a professional agent, or someone like Tony and Mark, the computer experts, to handle it," Falcon replied.

"No worries, we'll head to the general area first. When the time comes, I can use my telepathic abilities to quickly locate the correct spot," Scarlet Witch confidently stated.

Captain excitedly gave them both a thumbs-up. "Great! Let's get moving then. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes for T'Challa and Bucky!"

With that, Captain stepped between the two, grabbing their arms, and activated the Flash's suit's speed mode, heading towards the location Falcon had locked onto.

Sam, who had never experienced such astonishing speed before, could only tightly hold onto Captain's arm, with his whole body curled up and trembling.

If it weren't for Scarlet Witch using her telekinetic powers to create a protective shield around them, isolating them from the impact of the high-speed airflow, Falcon might have already screamed.

Despite being a member of a special aerial combat unit and soaring through the sky at high speeds daily, in this involuntary moment, his fear was undeniable, far from the calm demeanor of Scarlet Witch, who was casually watching.

"It's a good thing Tony isn't here right now. Otherwise, I'm sure he'd tease you about this forever," Scarlet Witch remarked.

"Hmph..." Falcon responded with a shaky voice, expressing his dissatisfaction with Scarlet Witch's teasing. However, his current state clearly lacked any persuasiveness.

"Alright, Sam, we're here. You can let go of my arm now," Captain joked, unable to resist teasing Falcon when he saw him in such a state. Then he turned to Scarlet Witch, "Wanda—"

"Got it!" Scarlet Witch nodded and began to exert her superhuman abilities, sensing the locations of T'Challa and Bucky. "Found them, over there!"

It didn't take long for Scarlet Witch to use her formidable powers to locate T'Challa and Bucky. She led Captain and Falcon to a farm on the outskirts.

"There are obvious signs of a recent battle here, and the traces are very fresh. The fight must have happened not long ago. This farm should be the place we're looking for."

Captain quickly noticed the crucial clue, feeling relieved that they had successfully found their destination. However, he quickly suppressed this emotion and became cautious.

T'Challa from Wakanda appeared to be quite skilled and formidable. His friend Bucky, who had been through countless battles, not only underwent the physical enhancement of Hydra but also gained powerful mechanical arms.

This operational team formed by these two individuals had fallen into Green Goblin's trap, so they needed to be even more careful moving forward, avoiding any ambush set up by Green Goblin.

The three of them cautiously followed the footprints left on the ground and soon entered the farmhouse.

"I sense their positions are upstairs. Both of their life forces are still present, but I don't know their condition or whether they're injured. From the video that Green Goblin released earlier, it seems like the two of them had quite a showdown," Scarlet Witch reminded Captain.

Captain nodded in response but still didn't accelerate their pace. He couldn't disregard the danger that Scarlet Witch and Falcon had put themselves in by joining him on this risky mission to rescue T'Challa and Bucky.

Therefore, even though Captain's heart was deeply concerned about the condition of T'Challa and Bucky, after confirming that the two of them were not in immediate danger, they continued to move forward cautiously, fearing that Green Goblin might have set some traps.

"Wanda, do you have a way to open these sealed devices?"

After a tense search, the three of them finally arrived at the room indicated by Scarlet Witch.

However, blocking their path were thick and sturdy metal barriers that completely separated them from the inside. These barriers also firmly trapped T'Challa and Bucky within.

Scarlet Witch shook her head, "My abilities can't have any destructive effect on structures of this level."

Although he received a negative answer, Captain didn't feel overly disappointed. Solutions always outweighed difficulties, and he believed that with the combined strength of the three of them, they could find a way to overcome the current challenge.

At this moment, Falcon seemed to have a good idea and excitedly suggested, "Wanda, try using your mind control abilities to move the people inside away from the door. Then I can use a lava bomb to blast open this metal wall!"

The lava bomb was a special weapon created by Mark based on Falcon's request. This type of bomb didn't produce a violent shockwave upon detonation, nor did it release shrapnel causing harm.

Instead, it generated an intense burst of heat energy centered around the detonation point. In an instant, this highly concentrated heat energy would melt everything within a meter, just like flowing lava from a volcano. Hence, Mark named it the lava bomb.

"No problem. Although Green Goblin's seal is robust, it's not entirely airtight. As long as my powers can permeate the room, I can control them to move away from the door," Scarlet Witch confidently offered a positive answer this time.

"Alright, then let's go with Sam's plan!" Captain made a swift decision and gave the order to proceed.

"Captain, Wanda, you two should also move away from here. Although the core range of the lava bomb is only about a meter, its high-temperature effect can still be significantly felt on the skin even from five meters away. Being too close could cause severe burns in an instant," Falcon cautioned.

Following Falcon's advice, Captain and Scarlet Witch retreated to a safe distance. Scarlet Witch unleashed her powers and completed her task.

Once confirmed, Falcon quickly pulled out the safety pin of the lava bomb, attached it to the sealed device, and then hurriedly ran downstairs to get out of the blast radius.

With only a burst of intense light, and no explosive sound. The lava bomb had completely melted the thick metal barrier into a liquid state.

Scarlet Witch used her telekinesis to isolate the high temperature, allowing them to approach the now wide-open doorway.

However, only when they got closer did they realize that the room was not as they had imagined. The two combatants had inflicted serious injuries on each other, resulting in a situation of mutual defeat, or one of them being gravely wounded.

Inside the room, apart from a corpse of an enemy that T'Challa had already dealt with, which was now burning due to the high temperature from the lava bomb.

T'Challa, who was controlled by Scarlet Witch, had taken cover in a corner of the room, shielding the unconscious Bucky on the ground with his own body.

As it turned out, all of them had fallen for the trickery of Green Goblin. The reason he hadn't played the complete video in front of all the Avengers wasn't because he wanted to enjoy the content in private, but because the events hadn't unfolded according to his design, so he didn't show it to them.

If they saw the true situation, Green Goblin's goal of sowing division among them wouldn't be easily achieved.

After falling under Green Goblin's control, despite launching a fierce attack on T'Challa, Bucky couldn't inflict the slightest harm on him. T'Challa was wearing the priceless Vibranium battle suit, rendering Bucky's efforts futile.

To subdue Bucky, T'Challa first smashed the television left by Green Goblin in the room with a punch. Then, he completely ignored any attacks from Bucky and delivered a powerful palm strike to his neck, instantly rendering him unconscious.

However, due to the relatively short length of the claws on T'Challa's Black Panther suit, he couldn't destroy the metal barrier set up by Green Goblin. That's why they hadn't escaped yet and had encountered the arrival of Captain and his team, who had come to rescue them...
