American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 171: Hydra's "Leader"

"Tang? Tang!"

The roar in Bruce's head quietly faded away, and he gradually saw Downton clearly in front of him.

Listening to Bruce's words, Downton laughed as he pulled Bruce up from the billboard.

"How disgusting! You actually called me Tangtang~"

"Don!"

Bruce didn't pay attention to Downton's teasing, but grabbed Downton's hand suddenly.

“Be careful Lucius, he might have leaked the fear poison!
Jonathan actually possesses the fear poison, and he even knows that I carry the antidote for the fear poison!"

"Uh……"

Hearing Bruce's words, Downton's expression froze at first, and then he looked at Bruce in disbelief.

“Dude, are you sure?
"Isn't that particularly useful brain of yours burned out by Jonathan's fear poison?"

At this point, Downton patted Bruce's shoulder unhappily.

"I thought the first thing you would say to me after you woke up would be thank you.

After all, I saved your life, man!
So the first thing you do after getting up is to doubt your friends around you?
To be honest, Batman, you really disappoint me at this moment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton punched Bruce on the head in angrily.

After Bruce's head was hit, he seemed to be more sober, so he continued speaking quickly.

“You’re right, it really shouldn’t be Lucius, because Jonathan and Arkham have been hunting down homeless people for three months.

In addition, Jonathan's fear poison... was purified more thoroughly than mine, and it also contained... other materials that were closer to the ancient recipe of the Assassin's League.

So, hell, Jonathan is with the League of Assassins, so they’re at least collaborators!”

Thinking of this, Bruce looked suddenly into the distance.

Following his line of sight, there were only a few cars running on the dark streets of Naihe Island. He immediately locked onto Jonathan's car, which was running the wildest among them.

After re-determining his target, Bruce wiped the sweat that flowed down his cheeks to his chin, and continued to speak to Downton.

"I still have to keep tracking Jonathan. What about you? Do you want to come with me?"

"I need to sleep, but if you are in danger again, don't call Alfred, call my name instead.

Even if you are on the other side of the world, as long as you yell my name, I will know it instantly and rush to your side. Who told you to call me Tangtang, haha!"

Donton said to Bruce with a smile, but his words made Bruce stunned.

"and many more!"

Bruce suddenly asked Downton.

“Are you sure you can hear the sound from the other side of the world?
But that doesn't make sense, Don, because the speed of sound is much slower than that of light, and theoretically, you can't hear a sound that hasn't reached you yet."

"Shit!"

Hearing this, Downton hit Bruce on the head again in anger.

After being beaten again, Bruce took a deep breath and then nodded heavily.

“Now is not the time to talk about that, tomorrow I will investigate your senses with that idiot Lex.

For now, I must continue my pursuit of Jonathan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce jumped directly to the ground from the billboard that was erected more than ten meters high on the building.

The moment he landed, Bruce did a light roll, then quickly turned into a sprint and rushed into a nearby alley.

With the roar of the engine, Bruce's motorcycle quickly emerged from the alley and chased after Jonathan's car.

Looking at Bruce's back, Downton smiled and shook his head, then returned to the manor.

Seeing Donton stepping out of the flames, Ah Fu nervously moved forward.

"Master, Master Bruce, he...?"

"Relax, I've already given him the antidote.

According to Lucius, after the antidote takes effect, Bruce will not be affected by the fear poison for at least the next twenty minutes."

As he spoke, Donton yawned lazily.

"Ha... I'm so sleepy. Anyway, as long as the fear gas doesn't take effect, Jonathan will never be a match for Bruce.

Okay, I'm going to bed, good night, Ah Fu."

Donton waved to Alfu, then returned to his room and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

Just twenty minutes after he fell asleep, Selina poked her head into the room.

Seeing Donton's heartless sleeping face, Selina was so angry that she grabbed the sole of her shoe with her toes.

But in the end, she angrily got into the bed, buried herself in Donton's arms and closed her eyes.

At the same time, above Wakanda...under Hill's guidance, the aerospace carrier gradually stopped above the heads of the Wakandans.

Seeing the approaching helicarrier, T'Chaka suddenly raised his right hand to stop his people's nighttime banquet.

A moment later, Nick and Hill took a plane from the mothership to the Kingdom of Wakanda.

Facing Hill and Nick who were getting off the plane, T'Chaka took a deep breath, then put on Black Panther's uniform and strode towards the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Looking at the Black Panther T'Chaka's old but still powerful steps from afar, Nick Fury frowned and said to Hill.

"This king is stronger than we thought, and he walks a lot like Steve."

"Especially his combat uniform, made of pure vibranium, weighing less than 300 grams, but its defensive capabilities exceed any known attack methods on Earth!"

Hill nodded heavily, then looked at Black Panther's uniform with envy.

If such battle suits can be used to equip several field teams for SHIELD, they will be invincible!
Thinking of this, Hill took a step forward and spoke to T'Chaka.

"I'm very sorry, King T'Chaka, our S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant, Mr. Tang, has mistakenly caused you considerable damage.

We are willing to bear all the consequences and compensate you and your people on this basis!"

"No need, Chief Hill!"

In response to Hill's politeness, T'Chaka refused expressionlessly.

“Let’s not discuss whether Donton is your advisor or not. Donton is also someone who is favored by the Leopard God and has friendly exchanges with him.

Perhaps even his appearance is just a reminder and a test given to us by the Leopard God!

Today's war is just Wakanda's internal affairs and has nothing to do with the international community!

Besides that, now that you have seen what we have been hiding for years, I hope you can understand the power we wield!

You should be very clear about our attitude, which is to stay away from the international community!
A world filled with war and chaos will only destroy the long-standing beauty and peace of Wakanda!"

Having said that, T'Chaka exhaled deeply and then raised his right hand high.

All of a sudden, dozens of vibranium cannons rose up from the Wakanda capital, Berna City, and then aimed at the aerospace mothership in the sky!
T'Chaka was also furious. If I can't beat that fucking Tang, how can I beat you guys?

If SHIELD still wants to take action against me, I'm sorry, but today's Wakanda has been aroused by the deaths of thousands of people.

At worst, we can just fight again!

Let us Wakandans also experience the joy of bullying the weak!!!

Thinking of this, T'Chaka glared at Hill and Nick Fury, as if he would start a war directly if Hill and the other two said something unpleasant.

Faced with such a Wakanda, even though Hill and Nick were both professional agents, they had to choose to retreat and temporarily return to the helicarrier.

Just as Nick Fury and Hill retreated, the bald agent in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New York branch, who was almost killed by Downton in the morning, had already come in front of Pierce, the Minister of the Security Council.

Facing Pierce's gloomy gaze, the little bald man took a deep breath, then lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Minister, Rumlow... I couldn't prevent his death."

"But Rumlow is one of our best field agents. By losing him, we not only lost our best operations captain, but also our instructor for new recruits."

Pierce said this expressionlessly, and his words made the little bald man shudder violently.

Looking at the frightened little bald head, Pierce was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

“Relax, Sitwell, I know it wasn’t your fault.

Rumlow's words do have a hint of provocation, and his death also allows us to see Downton's character more clearly.

What's more, even I was forced to officially remove Nick Fury from his position as director after Downton suddenly broke in and tore off an arm, and finally gave the position to Agent Hill.

Look, how can I force you to stop someone who even I can't stop? "

At this point, Pierce finally smiled. As he smiled, he got up from the sofa and got a glass of wine for Sitwell.

After gently clinking his glass with Sitwell's, Pierce continued with a smile.

"Agent Sitwell, don't you think that Downton's personality is very suitable for getting along with us?

Although we have lost an operations captain, as long as we operate properly, we may be able to get a Hydra leader in return!"

"leader?!!"

Hearing this, Sitwell raised his head in disbelief and looked at Pierce in surprise.

Facing Sitwell's gaze, Pierce nodded and continued with a sneer.

"Yes, "Leader", because if we want to win over a domineering person like him, we must offer the highest status we can.

But you and I both know that even leaders are more of spiritual symbols high above us. What determines where we will go will always be the goals of more people!

So, why don't we worship such an awe-inspiring existence as him, and even use him as a leader to conquer cities for us?

We missed Hulk, we missed Thor, and we missed... Stark's technology, because even though they are powerful, they are not the same as us!

As for Downton, he's not a damn good guy, so should we miss him too?
We would be really stupid to miss this, haha!"
