Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 54 Palladium Poisoning

As the shareholders' meeting ended, Tony and Pepper returned to the villa in a daze.

Coulson followed them in silence the entire time.

It wasn't until Tony and Pepper sat on the sofa in silence for a long time that Coulson couldn't help but say, "Mr. Stark, Ms. Pepper, I think this Sherlock is very suspicious. Do you want me to investigate?"

Based on his intuition as an agent over the years, he felt that Sherlock's identity was suspicious, and even those shares were strange.

Hearing this, hope rekindled in Pepper's eyes.

"Yes, this Sherlock seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It's totally unreasonable. There must be something shameful!"

Tony didn't say anything, still keeping his head down and silent.

It was not until I called him several times that he came to his senses.

"Tony, are you okay?

Don't worry, although we failed this time, I will definitely win back next time."

Facing Pepper's concerned look, Tony shook his head absentmindedly.

"I'm not thinking about it."

"What's that?"

"That Vanke..."

The other party was as paranoid as himself, and it seemed that in his eyes, he believed that his father was a thief and robber.

Although he was very determined that his father had done nothing wrong, he still felt uneasy.

"Why do you want to think about Vanke? He's just the son of a thief. Even our government has sentenced him to death for stealing secrets and expelled him from the country. What's there to think about?"

Tony calmed down a little when he heard the country's judgment.

Yes, it is impossible for the US government to cheat.

At this moment, he suddenly felt pain and discomfort all over his body.

This pain and discomfort began to appear slowly after the battle with Shingen Yashida's Silver Samurai, but he didn't take it too seriously at first.

But now it is becoming more and more obvious.

But now that I'm back home, I'll have a thorough checkup to avoid any sequelae.

"I'll go downstairs and take care of myself first. You guys stay here and chat."

After saying that, he went straight downstairs.

An hour later, Tony looked at the report in his hand, his face turned pale, and the hand holding the report trembled slightly.

The palladium content is thirty times higher than that of an average person.

If treated and kept away from palladium items, levels can return to normal.

But the Ark reactor in his body uses the element palladium.

However, the remaining fragments of the explosion in his body must be absorbed by the magnetic field of the Ark reactor to prevent them from flowing into his heart.

In other words, he could not stay away from the element palladium at all.

You're doomed.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Just then, footsteps were heard at the stairs.

The person coming down was Pepper.

Seeing the other party appear, Tony immediately pretended nothing had happened and put away the report.

"What's matter?"

Pepper originally wanted to tell the other party the result of her discussion with Coulson, but after coming down, she found that Tony's face was a little abnormally pale, so she felt nervous and uneasy.

"Tony, are you okay? You look so pale."

As she spoke, she touched Tony's cheek.

Tony threw the report behind him into the corner and grabbed Pepper's little hand.

"I'm fine, there was just an accident during the experiment.

By the way, how did your talk with Coulson go? "

Seeing that Tony did seem to be fine, Pepper lowered her hand and shook her head.

"There is no better solution. We decided to investigate Sherlock's source of funds, and then find a way to persuade Umbrella to give up supporting Obadiah."

"It's a little difficult to get Umbrella to give up Obadiah. You have to be mentally prepared."

While changing the subject, Tony walked upstairs with his arm around Pepper.

He didn't want Pepper to find out that he was abnormal. The other party had already worked hard enough for Stark Enterprises, so why should he let her worry about him again?

"I know it's difficult, but I have to meet Mr. Li again and see if I can persuade him."

"Don't think too much about it, let's go to bed early."

"Well, isn't it too early?"

"Get some rest early."

"Is it really just a break?"

"Uh, probably."

……

When Tony was so worried about the excessive palladium level that he even refused to go to Sakura Country.

At Sakura Junior High School, it was morning and the sun was slowly rising.

Charles looked at Mariko Yashida getting off a car in the distance, but she was surrounded by a group of security guards, and he also felt distressed.

There seemed to be something on Mariko Yashida's body that resisted his mental penetration, making it impossible for him to enter her memory from a distance.

Maybe it's possible at close range, but every time he tried to get close to the other party, he was stopped by the security guards.

At this time, Mariko Yashida, who was far away, entered the company under the cover of security guards.

Seeing this, Qin, who was pushing the wheelchair, said, "Professor, how about we make an appointment to meet and see if we can get in touch with the other party?"

"Well, you can try it, but you don't have to push me."

"But Professor, you are alone..."

"It's okay. No one will care about an old man like me."

"this…"

After hesitating for a while, Qin nodded.

"Then professor, be careful."

After saying that, she stretched out her long legs and headed towards Yashida Company.

Shortly after Qin left, a man walked past Charles from behind.

"It's all Umbrella's fault..."

After saying this, the man secretly threw down a USB drive and continued walking forward without stopping.

Upon seeing this, Charles immediately used his mental power to enter the other person's brain, wanting to see whether this was a human or a ghost, and what he meant by the words just now.

But when his mental power entered the other person's mind, he felt boundless chaos and a tendency towards destruction.

This moment startled him and he left the other person's mind.

This is not a mental state that a normal human being can have.

At this moment, the man seemed to notice something and looked back at Charles.

It was this delay that caused a bullet to instantly pierce the opponent's head at ten times the speed of sound.

"puff…"

"boom!"

The gunfire was long overdue.

"what!"

"Killed!"

"Life is dead!"

Passersby saw someone's head split like a watermelon, with red and white splashing all over the ground, and they immediately ran away in panic.

Charles, who stayed where he was, also had his pupils contracted.

The man who was shot in the head had strange changes in his hands. They began to stretch and then turned into tentacle-like things.

What kind of monster is this?

Also, is that mental power of chaos and destruction the instinct of this monster?

But soon, he immediately remembered the USB flash drive in his arms and what the other party said.

Did Umbrella kill him?
On the rooftop of a high-rise building more than 700 meters away, Erica, who was wearing a red ninja costume and had a curvy figure, put away the electromagnetic sniper rifle in her hand.

"Tanigawa Masanobu, let's see how long you can hide. When I kill all your men, will you still be able to hold back and not come out?"
