Berserk Dragon II

The priest calmly brushed off his clothes, looking ahead as he asked, "And what is your objection, uninvited guest?"

"Of course, Father," Heinrich—father of Baron von Strucker—replied as he entered, holding a smoking Magnum revolver. He was flanked by over ten men, each one looking like a battle-hardened veteran.

"Mr. Heinrich von Strucker, I wonder what brings you here?" Edward, who was acting as a priest, inquired.

"What are we doing here, you ask?" Helga, Heinrich's wife, interjected as she threw something into the middle of the hall.

It was a small projector. As it powered up, it displayed a video of Edward skinning Baron von Strucker alive, torturing him.

Many who were unaware of this gasped and looked at the priest, who remained calm and composed.

"Do you understand now why we interrupted this wedding?" Helga sneered.

"No," Edward replied without hesitation.

"No?" Helga asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Your son was merely receiving his punishment for harming my lady. It has nothing to do with this wedding," Edward stated coldly. "He simply reaped what he sowed."

"That may be true, but why don't we examine just how much your lady or the bride were actually hurt?" Heinrich suggested as he tapped his watch, causing the projector to change to a different scene. This time, it showed a bullet merely grazing the woman's skin.

Heinrich paused the video and zoomed in on her hand. "As you can all see, it was just a small, superficial graze," he said, then shifted to an image of Baron von Strucker by her side.

"However, my son had most of his skin removed from his body," Heinrich said angrily, pointing at the images.

"well, Mr. Strucker, you still haven't showed the reason why we punished Devil called Stucker" Edward said as he Supreme hacke dthe projector and displayed the hobbies of Baro, which were torturing children especially girls.

"After the attack on our lady we decided to investigate who attacked us, and this resulted in discovering the atrocities of baron--"

While they were in heated debate, Fury came ot Max and sit with him.

"I really hope you wont make this a world war" He said coming near him.

President sitting with him also said " yes, please that much would be appreciated" 

"As of these clowns, My Man here will take care of them" he patted the Blue Marvel on shoulders as he said.

"Honestly guys, if you were me, you would all be more worried about my sister" Max taking a 1962 dalmore drink sip said.

"your sister?" Both of them said and looked at Pepper on stage, who still has a calm smile on her face.

"She seems.....calm to me" President said.

"yeah and who remain calm after someone came to ruin their special day" Max said taking another sip.

President and Fury fell silent.

The President turned to look at Blue Marvel and sighed. "I hope you can take care of this."

"Don't rely on me," Blue Marvel replied. "The bride and groom on stage feel more like monsters than humans, and the men that clown brought with him are outright monsters."

Hearing this, the President and Fury turned to Max, who shrugged. "Well, I've had some dealings with the Holy Knights and obtained some monster-like powers from them for my sister. Tony got curious after seeing those powers," Max explained.

"You mean those fruit-like things?" Fury asked.

"Yes. Did you also buy from him?" Max asked, feigning ignorance.

"Hm, we did," Fury nodded. "After he warned us about some unpleasant things."

"And you didn't feel the need to tell me about it?" The President crossed his legs and asked.

"Well, you might not be here in five years," Fury replied, and the President pursed his lips.

"Yes, but he will be," the President said, pointing at Blue Marvel.

"Not me. I already have enough power to vaporize this Earth. I don't need any more," Blue Marvel replied calmly.

"Yeah, but I need it," the President said. "Imagine me gaining power and fighting on the front lines. I'd be president every single election."

"Yeah, and maybe that's why no president in history has ever been given power," Max chimed in.

Fury and the President both turned to him.

Max simply swirled the drink in his glass and replied, "You see, Fury, Mr. President, power can change anyone. It can corrupt you or make you a hero.

Max stared directly into the President's eyes as he said, "If you already have power and then gain even more on top of it, just imagine what that would do to you."

The President fell into a daze, almost hypnotized, and murmured, "I will conquer every other nation and become the sole king."

Blue Marvel and Fury exchanged glances before Blue Marvel asked, "What did you do to him?"

"Nothing much, just used my power—the Power of Truth. No one can lie in front of me. That's how I've gotten to where I am. I know how to read people," Max smiled as he snapped his fingers, bringing the President back to reality.

"What happened to me?" the President asked, coming out of his daze.

"Well, I'm not sure what you were talking about, but you were definitely scolding Fury for not telling you about the powers he got from the Holy Knights," Max replied with a casual shrug.

"Ah, yes, yes... So, Fury, you see I need that power," the President said, regaining his composure.

"Just imagine—" he began, only for Fury to cut him off.

"You winning every election," Fury finished.

"Exactly!" the President grinned. "Wouldn't it be better if I had the power? We could definitely work things out in your favor too," he added with a smile.

Blue Marvel and Fury looked at each other, then at Max. Finally, Fury responded, "I'll think about it."

'This is why I retired—politics,' Blue Marvel thought to himself as he glanced at the clown aka Stucker.
