I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 164: Wind Rising in America
Let me ask you, as a normal man, what should you do if you have a beautiful woman in your arms?
Tony is facing this problem now.

Based on his previous personality, is there any need to ask what he should do at this time?

But he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It’s not because there’s anything wrong with Leah throwing herself at him. As a wealthy man, it’s normal for a woman to throw herself at him.

Many people want to be in his arms, but it's never possible.

It's normal for Leah to do this now that she finally has this opportunity.

But Tony felt something was not right about her, but about who she was.

There was an aura about her that made him feel disgusted.

Although Tony's mind was dazed for a moment under Leah's gentle attack, the vague uneasiness quickly spread in his heart like an undercurrent.

"Leah, you get up first." There was an unquestionable firmness in Tony's voice. He gently pushed Leah away, kept a certain distance, and looked at her sharply.

Leia seemed to have not expected Tony to react like this. A flash of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to her gentle smile, but it was a little more forced. "Mr. Stark, I am abrupt. Please forgive my loss of composure."

Tony did not respond immediately. Instead, he walked to a corner of the laboratory, picked up a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp to calm his inner turmoil.

"Leah, I think we need some time to get to know each other." Tony finally spoke, his tone somewhat cautious. "My work is very busy, and my personal life is not simple either. I hope you can understand that as my administrative assistant, you must first be professional and dedicated. As for the rest, we need to build on the basis of mutual respect and trust."

When Leah heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and put on her professional smile again.

"Of course, Mr. Stark, I completely understand. I will do my best to do my job, but I will also respect your personal space."

If Tony's former bed partner heard this, he would definitely spit in his face.

Leia suddenly changed the subject, and there was a subtle temptation in her voice, as if she was testing Tony's bottom line.

"Mr. Stark, I understand that you are busy at work and I respect your private space. But in this fast-paced world, sometimes it is so hard to find someone who can understand you, support you, and even comfort you when you are tired."

Her words were gentle, and each one seemed carefully chosen to touch the softest part of Tony's heart.

Leia slowly approached Tony, with an indescribable light flashing in her eyes, which contained both desire and a hint of subtle threat.

However, Tony was no ordinary man, he had trained his eyes to see into people's hearts. The moment Leah approached, he keenly caught a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth, which concealed some unknown calculations.

What shocked Tony even more was that when he looked closely at Leia, he discovered that her pupils were flashing strangely in the dim light, like a sign of some nocturnal creature before hunting.

At this moment, Leia suddenly opened her mouth, revealing a pair of sharp teeth. Although they were tightly wrapped by her lips, the fangs were still clearly visible under Tony's sharp eyes.

This sudden change startled Tony. He immediately realized that Leia was no ordinary human being and that she was hiding some extraordinary secret.

Tony quickly stepped back, keeping a safe distance from Leah, his eyes became sharp and alert. "Leah, who are you?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Leia seemed to have not expected that Tony would be so keenly aware of her abnormality, and the expression on her face froze in an instant.

She tried to maintain her composure, but the light in her eyes began to flicker. "Mr. Stark, what are you talking about? I don't understand you."

Tony sneered and stared at Leah with a sharp gaze.

"Don't understand? Then explain to me, what are the fangs in your mouth? Also, why does your aura make me feel so disgusted?"

Leah's face turned pale. She knew she could no longer hide it. The flickering in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination. She realized that if she wanted to achieve her goal, she had to take more direct measures.

Her figure suddenly became blurred, as if shrouded in a layer of light mist.

Then, her speed suddenly increased, and she rushed towards Tony like a black lightning.

Her hands turned into sharp claws, flashing with cold light, and she obviously intended to defeat the enemy with one blow.

"Hey, are you a vampire?"

Facing Leia's sudden attack, Tony did not seem panicked. Although such a short time was not enough for him to put on his battle suit, he was an archbishop.

Tony quickly closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. A soft and sacred light began to emanate from his body, as if an invisible force was surging in his body.

The moment Leia's attack approached Tony, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward at all.

She looked at Tony in astonishment, her eyes full of confusion and horror.

"In the name of the Son of God, purify the world of all evil!" Tony suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hands forward, and a dazzling light shot out from his palms and hit Leia directly.

Under this sacred light, Leah let out a shrill scream, and her body began to twist and deform, as if being torn apart by a powerful force.

Under the shining of the holy light released by Tony, Leia's screams of pain echoed in the laboratory. Her body was gradually twisted and deformed under the tearing of the light, as if every inch of her skin and every bone was experiencing intense pain.

The pair of pupils that originally flashed with something strange now became empty and desperate. She struggled desperately but could not escape the bondage of this divine power.

As the light grew stronger, Leah's body began to emit a faint black smoke, which was the final struggle of the evil power in her body.

However, under the purification of this divine power, the black smoke quickly dissipated and Leah's figure gradually became blurred.

"No! I won't accept it! How can I be purified like this!" Leah's voice echoed in the laboratory, full of unwillingness and despair.

But Tony did not stop his actions. The sacred light surged out like a tide, completely enveloping Leia.

Finally, with a deafening roar, Leah's figure completely dissipated in the light and turned into ashes, leaving only a faint smoke filling the laboratory.

Tony's expression gradually became serious. There was a vampire lurking next to him, so what about other places?
"Director Xia, did you know? Vampires have appeared in this world!"

The next day, Tony couldn't wait to rush to the office of the director of SHIELD, and Xia Ling was there as usual.

"Yeah, I know. If SHIELD doesn't have this little information, then it might as well just disband right now. What, have you been attacked by vampires?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was not surprised by Tony's experience.

"Yes, Director Xia, a vampire tried to attack me in my laboratory last night." There was a hint of fear in Tony's tone, but more of excitement and curiosity about the unknown challenge.

"Tony, in fact, it's not just your place. We have also found vampires in various places in America and have cleared them out."

Tony frowned, his excitement and curiosity turning into uneasiness.

"Are there other places too? This is troublesome. Also, these vampires are not afraid of sunlight. They can actually appear during the day. Are they still vampires?"

"Tony, the fact that these vampires you mentioned can move around during the day is indeed an anomaly, but who says that vampires cannot exist in the sun?"

"So, our understanding of vampires is wrong? Or are these new vampires?"

Tony frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

"What does this mean? Will they become more powerful and more difficult to deal with?"

"That's for sure, but it's still unclear what those vampires are planning to do."

"Of course they want to rule over humans and turn them into their livestock!"

Hearing this, Xia Ling shook his head slightly.

"Tony, you think you can rule over humans with just these vampires? This is the age of gods. Vampires are just pawns, not chess players."

But Tony obviously disagreed with this point of view: “Director Xia, I understand what you mean, but we can’t underestimate these vampires.

Since they can move during the day, it means that they have evolved or mutated to a new stage. We must not take such creatures lightly. "

He paused and continued, “Moreover, judging from Leah’s attack last night, their strength and speed are far beyond that of ordinary people.

If such vampires appear in large numbers, it will be a huge threat to human society, and we must take action as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading and growing further."

"Rather than investigating this, it is better to investigate the existence behind them."

Xia Ling expressed his considerations, and Tony found this conclusion hard to believe.

"A vampire controlled by someone? Who is it, Dracula? Or Cain? Aren't they still vampires? I don't think there are any dirtier creatures willing to control these scums in the darkness."

Tony shook his head. He had never heard of anyone controlling a vampire.

"Tony, don't worry about this. I have my own ideas."

"Director Xia, you will regret this!"

"Tony, I'm the director."

Just as Tony and Xia Ling were arguing and the atmosphere was tense, Hawkeye pushed the door open.

"I heard your conversation, you two. As for these vampires that can move during the day, I think I can handle them."

Hawkeye said calmly, and his statement made Tony turn his head in surprise and look him up and down.

"Barton, I know you are an elite agent, but please forgive me for being blunt, these vampires are not something you can handle."

"Mr. Stark, I respect your experience and judgment, but I also believe in my ability and the strength of my team." Hawkeye said calmly, but revealed his unquestionable determination. "We SHIELD agents often face various supernatural and unknown challenges. We have professional training and equipment, and we also have experience in dealing with these threats."

Tony felt a little uncomfortable with what he said. After all, they had been working together for such a long time, and it was not something the Tony of today could do to confront him directly.

"You don't have to worry. I can handle those disgusting things now."

Hawkeye felt at ease, knowing that it was not just the devil Kingpin who harmed his family.

All those who are in darkness are the targets of his revenge.

Now that he has the power of revenge, he wants to drive all dark creatures out of America without leaving a single one.

"Barton, I understand your determination, but these vampires are different. Their strength, speed, and stealth capabilities are far beyond your imagination. Last night I personally experienced a battle with a vampire, and they were definitely not ordinary opponents."

Tony frowned. Seeing Hawkeye so confident, he couldn't help but remind him, lest this comrade die inexplicably.

"Tony, don't underestimate Hawkeye, it's because of Hawkeye's efforts that many vampires were discovered and not eliminated.

He is much more professional than you in this regard."

Tony was slightly stunned by Xia Ling's words. He turned to look at Xia Ling with a puzzled look in his eyes. "Director Xia, are you kidding? Barton... he is more professional than an archbishop like me?"

"You are out of date. He is now a professional vampire hunter. No vampire can escape from him."

Tony turned to look at Hawkeye after hearing this, with a hint of mixed emotions in his eyes. "Okay, Barton, I admit that you may be more experienced than me in some aspects, but you have to remember that the power of these vampires should not be underestimated. You must be careful."

"Don't worry, Stark. I will do my best. And I'm not alone. I have a very reliable ally who is an expert in this field."

Hawkeye's words surprised both Tony and Xia Ling. Tony raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Who is your ally? Do you think he knows more about vampires than I do?"

Hawkeye smiled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence.

"I can't say much about his situation. Only the director knows the details. Tony, I dare not tell you this."

"What? Even I can't know?"

Tony suddenly got angry and looked at Xia Ling, but saw that the latter had no intention of revealing anything to him, so he slammed the door and left angrily.

"Hawkeye, Tony has left. Tell me, where is the lair of those vampires?"

"south."
