Chapter 99 The First Divine Trench

In the political world, giants like Ao Guanhai attending the premiere of "Frozen" was not just about making their daughters happy. It was a gesture to show a certain stance, as well as to extend goodwill towards Clark, along with a favor.

This was because, during the 2008 elections, Clark, who controlled a vast amount of media resources, had given him a significant boost, naturally indebting him with a favor.

Attending this premiere was not about repaying that favor and settling their relationship; on the contrary, it was just the beginning of a mutually beneficial and cooperative relationship.

The premiere was undoubtedly a success, and Clark further solidified his unshakeable position in the entertainment industry.

With a large influx of impression points, the system interface's balance finally broke through the 1 billion mark.

It had been over nine years since the last breakthrough of human limits, and today, he could finally aim for a new peak of strength.

Clark attended the premiere with Xiao Bai, Mindy, Hope, Sharon, and upon leaving the cinema and preparing to leave by car, they were stopped by a young Black man.

The first thing the young man said was: "Black Knight, long time no see!"

Clark frowned upon hearing this, feeling that the young Black man looked familiar but couldn't recall who he was due to his face blindness towards Black people.

Maybe too much time had passed, and he had forgotten?

Just as Clark was puzzled, he saw the young man make a familiar gesture.

The young man crossed his fists in front of his chest and bowed deeply to Clark: "Black Knight, I came here specifically to thank you for saving my life nine years ago."

The familiar gesture immediately reminded Clark. This young Black man was one of the children they had rescued from the secret room during their alliance's raid on the Hands Union, the most composed one among them.

Clark smiled slightly and said, "So it's you. I didn't expect you to have grown so much."

From the fact that the young man could directly identify him, it was evident that he was no ordinary person.

Moreover, Clark could sense a strong vitality from him, definitely surpassing human limits.

Conservatively estimated, this person's strength was not inferior to Yi Long's!

Having such formidable strength, along with a deep background that could identify Clark's identity, this young Black man was definitely not simple!

However, the young man did not reveal his identity, and Clark did not ask either.

Then, the young man smiled and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Clark alone. How about we take my car?"

Clark was curious about what the young man was up to, so he casually tossed the car keys to Sharon, saying, "Please, take them home for me."

After that, he got into the young man's Lamborghini.

Once they were alone, the young man finally said, "Mr. Clark, you probably don't know my name. Let me introduce myself."

He paused for a moment, his expression turning serious: "My name is T'Challa, the prince of the African nation of Wakanda. Nine years ago, I came to the US with my father to attend a United Nations conference. Unfortunately, we were kidnapped by gangsters while going to an amusement park. Thanks to Mr. Clark's timely rescue, I didn't die in a foreign land."

"Wait!" Clark interrupted, "You said your name is T'Challa, from..."

T'Challa immediately corrected, "My name is T'Challa."

"My apologies," Clark expressed his apology for mispronouncing the name and then frowned, "So, you're actually the prince of the African nation of Wakanda?"

"Correct!"

Damn! T'Challa of Wakanda!

Who is this?

Black Panther! The supreme money spender, the iron Tony; the playboy, the billionaire; without Black Panther, who competes?

In the Marvel world, if asked who the richest superhero is, initially, everyone would undoubtedly choose Tony Stark. However, after Black Panther made his mark in the Civil War, everyone finally realized what it means to have someone better out there, a richer person above the rich.

If talking about assets, Black Panther could definitely rub Iron Man on the ground over and over again. The assets of all the rich heroes in the Marvel universe combined couldn't compare to Black Panther's.

You think having a factory makes you great? Sorry, but he has mines!

For most people, the first impression of Black Panther is wealth. Captain America can fight anyone evenly matched with his vibranium shield, but Black Panther can arm himself to the teeth with vibranium, making physical attacks almost ineffective. Are you scared yet?

However, Black Panther's abilities are far more than just wealth. Besides being rich, he is also a master fighter. With the effect of the Heart-Shaped Herb, even without his suit, he can easily match Captain America and the Winter Soldier, and even surpass them.

Clark never imagined that the boy he saved years ago would become the future Black Panther. Where does one even begin to discuss this?

"Mr. Clark, are you familiar with Captain America's shield?"

Clark frowned, wondering what the young man was up to. Seeing his situation improving, was he trying to show off his wealth and hit him with a blow?

Naturally, Black Panther didn't know Clark's thoughts and just said, "Captain America's shield is known to be indestructible because it's made from a special metal called vibranium, which is very rare and was previously found in Wakanda."

Clark asked indifferently, "Why are you telling me this?"

Black Panther sighed and said, "Several years ago, our country was attacked by a group of desperadoes who stole our only stock of vibranium and, more importantly, killed many Wakandan people."

"Mr. Clark, you have a wide network now. I came here hoping you could help me investigate this person's whereabouts."

Clark slightly frowned, "Why come to me?"

"In the US, there are many capable people, but you're the only one I can truly trust, Mr. Clark."

Clark nodded slightly, feeling that his heroic image had left a lasting impression on the young prince's mind.

Thinking, if he could take down that guy, could he also take some vibranium in the process? And perhaps, through this, establish a certain friendship with Wakanda, making future endeavors easier.

This deal seemed like a win-win situation.

Exciting prospects!

As Clark weighed the pros and cons, Black Panther added, "The person stole five hundred kilograms of vibranium. If Mr. Clark can capture him and bring him back to Wakanda, not only will that vibranium be yours, but you will also be Wakanda's forever friend."
