Chapter 162: The Ten Rings

"Oh my... gooooood!"

Natasha stared blankly at the huge plane on the ice layer.

The remaining cut ice blocks were squeezed back into the hole, and Jack slowly landed beside the plane.

Looking at this familiar Valkyrie, Jack couldn't help but think about the past.

He reminisced about the past when he and Steve had gone through countless difficulties to climb onto this plane.

At that time, he thought that he could change the history of Steve being trapped in ice.

But things didn't turn out as expected, and everything returned to its path.

But now that he looks back, it seems like he didn't do his best back then. After leaving Steve on the ice for so many years, he felt a little guilty about it.

It was time to make it up.

"When will your S.H.I.E.L.D. people arrive?"

Jack looked at Natasha and asked.

"Um... it will probably take another... three hours."

Natasha looked around hesitantly.

The place was freezing cold, luckily, there was no blizzard, but it would still be quite troublesome for S.H.I.E.L.D. to find their way here.

"Never mind, let's go in and take a look first." Jack shook his head and walked towards the plane.

After hesitating for a moment, Natasha also followed.

After being frozen in the ice for so many years, the equipment and technology inside the plane had turned into scrap metal.

Jack had no intention of using the main entrance. He teleported himself and Natasha directly into the cockpit.

The big cabin was covered with a thick layer of ice, and a thin layer of snowflakes covered the outside, resembling a frozen coffin.

"What is that?"

Natasha immediately looked towards the pilot's seat, where the ice formed a hill. Through the thick layer of ice, a blurry red and blue pattern was reflected.

"Our great hero."

Jack walked to the hill of ice and gently waved his hand, clearing away the snowflakes and broken ice on top.

Now, Natasha could finally see what was inside.

The familiar shield symbol made her directly think of something.

"Captain America!"

Natasha shouted in disbelief, "He has been here for almost seventy years. I never thought... there would be a day when he sees the light again."

"Yes, almost seventy years." Jack shook his head and sighed, "It's time to wake him up."

When hearing this, Natasha shivered and looked at him with astonishment, "You... are you saying... he is still alive?!"

A person being frozen for over seventy years, could they still be alive?

Normally, it would be absolutely impossible!

But if it's Captain America... Natasha became hesitant.

"Of course, he's still alive. Dr. Erskine's super soldier serum is more than just enhancing physical abilities."

Jack smiled and was about to say something when his eyebrows raised suddenly.

Then he quickly said, "Alright, I've found the person. It's up to you from here."

After speaking, he suddenly teleported away.

"..."

Natasha blinked her eyes in confusion, barely noticing that Jack had disappeared.

She looked around helplessly, murmuring to herself, "How am I going to get out of here?"

Luckily, even though Jack had left, the protective shield was still intact, preventing her from freezing to death.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. ship was on its way and would arrive in a few hours.

On the other hand, Jack left in such a hurry because he had discovered something interesting that he needed to investigate. Rescuing Steve was now the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D.

...

Hong Kong

Jack climbed the stairs, just as he reached the second floor, a person came crashing towards him!

Without even lifting a finger, the person disappeared suddenly as if it had never appeared.

As Jack officially stepped onto the second floor, he immediately saw Wenwu, whom he had encountered not long ago!

At that moment, Wenwu stepped on someone and appeared to be questioning them.

Standing beside him was his son, Shang Chi.

Several bodies lay scattered on the ground, some of who were among the attackers who assaulted Ying Li that night.

It seemed that Wenwu had come seeking revenge.

Jack shifted his gaze to Wenwu.

Unlike his seemingly ordinary personality that night, Wenwu was now surrounded by a strange energy. Even Jack couldn't feel the source of this power, but he could faintly sense that it didn't come from Earth!

It must be from outside this universe!

As for the origin of this power...

Jack looked at the ten rings on Wenwu's wrists, thinking.

'These are... the Rings of the Mandarin? The rings have turned into circular bracelet? Disney really made some different plot.'

As Jack was lost in his own thoughts, Wenwu grew impatient. He realized that this person knew nothing, and they had no idea where their leader was.

Feeling frustrated, Wenwu's arm trembled, and the rings on his wrist shot out like bullets, directly stomping the person's head beneath his feet, causing it to explode like a watermelon.

Shang Chi, who was standing by, witnessed the entire scene, his eyes blankly staring at the corpse at his father's feet, unsure of how to react.

After venting his anger, Wenwu finally noticed Jack, who had been watching.

When seeing him, Wenwu instinctively took an attacking posture, but then he changed his posture. After all, this person had saved his wife's life, so it would be impolite to act hostile towards him.

Just as Wenwu was about to apologize, Jack spoke first.

"Hey, is it this thing that gave you impressive power?"

Jack suddenly appeared in front of Wenwu, looking at the rings on his hands with curiosity.

He asked, "Can you tell me what these are?"

Wenwu looked at him in shock and admitted that he wouldn't have been able to stop Jack's lightning-fast speed earlier. If Jack had intended to kill him, he wouldn't have had time to use the power of the ten rings.

Realizing that he was no match for Jack's strength, Wenwu felt a sense of relief.

He held Shang Chi's hand and said to Jack, "Let's go somewhere else to talk."

"Agreed," Jack nodded without refusing.

Half an hour later, in another filled restaurant.

"So, you also don't know what these are?" Jack carefully examined the ten rings in his hand and asked, "When did you get them?"

"Ah, that was a long time ago," Wenwu reminisced, a hint of nostalgia appearing on his face. "I remember, back then, I was a general leading soldiers to defend the border. One day, a soldier came to report..."

Wenwu began telling his story in his deep and nostalgic voice.

Jack listened carefully and listening every detail. As Wenwu tells deeper into his story, Jack learns a lot about his experiences.

It must be said that Wenwu's journey was truly filled with twists and turns, a grand and epic story.
