The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1030 Bombing
Overall, this unexpected contact was quite fruitful, at least providing Robin and the others with a direction for their subsequent investigation.

After discussing it, the group decided to leave after the Martian girl finished nailing the fence for Mary, since they still had a mission to complete and it was not worth wasting too much time.

Although the Martian girl felt a little reluctant after learning about it, she knew that being able to meet her idol and get his autograph was already lucky enough, so she didn't ask for anything more and agreed to the arrangement.

To avoid arousing suspicion, the Martian girl disguised herself in a different way before getting into the off-road vehicle and following Mary to the border.

"You're not going to agree to that proposal?"

Mary glanced at the Martian girl sitting in the passenger seat. The girl's voice was very penetrating, and even the noise of the car couldn't stop her questions from reaching her ears.

"What proposal?"

"It's the one that Bao Hu suggested, the one that would allow you and your child to return to the United States for protection. After all, the Logan Wildlife Refuge is sandwiched between Biarriya and Kulako. If there really is a war in the future, this place will definitely become a war zone."

“You’re absolutely right.” Mary looked straight ahead. “I had indeed been considering this before, but after seeing you all, I changed my mind.”

"Why...?" the Martian girl asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t your purpose to stop this war?” Mary said matter-of-factly. “As long as you can resolve the issues with Khazafti, then there will absolutely be no war between Biarriya and Kurak.”

"But I..."

Have some confidence in yourself.

Mary interrupted the Martian girl and continued, "Superheroes and celebrities are actually quite similar. You shouldn't let ordinary people see your vulnerable side. Just like you believe I am really 'Meghan,' you also need to make me believe that you can really make things better."

"Consider it your copyright fee payment. Please do your best to stop this war from happening. I don't want Garfield to only be able to see animals on the prairie in books and videos in the future."

The Martian girl was silent for a while, then seemed to have figured it out and perked up.

"So, that's why you retired from the entertainment industry?"

“Pretty much,” Mary nodded. “I’m not one of those extreme animal and plant conservationists. Those guys are a bunch of idiots who only think about protesting. They’d be better off doing something useful.”

"It's all because of those so-called animal and plant protectors that it's so difficult for those of us who are actually doing things to move forward. After I established a nature reserve, the online ridicule against me never stopped."

Mary got more and more excited as she talked, it seemed she had really cared about this for a long time.

“Those so-called animal and plant conservationists online are all just talkers. My reserve has been established for so many years, and not a single one of them has actually come to help me. If it weren’t for Garfield’s support, I don’t know if I could have survived.”

Faced with Mary's grievances, the Martian girl could only force a smile, since these were all problems native to Earth, and as a Martian, she really had no say in them.

Suddenly, the Martian girl's expression changed. Mary noticed the change a few seconds later, and it was at this moment that she heard a sound that was just as powerful as the sound of nature, just like the sound of the SUV she was driving.

"Is that...the sound of an airplane?"

Mary wasn't sure if she had heard correctly, so she could only ask the Martian girl next to her. The latter stood up from her seat and used her invisibility to pass through the roof of the car to look at the distant sky.

Sure enough, two fighter jets flew rapidly over their location from the horizon and continued flying backward.

“I think we’d better go back.” Mary agreed with the Martian girl, so she ignored the nearby border, immediately turned the SUV around, and sped back the way they came.

"This is too slow!" The Martian girl held out her hand to Mary. "Stop the car and I'll fly you back."

Mary didn't waste any words. She stepped on the brake, pulled off her seatbelt, and without even taking out the car keys, she directly grabbed the Martian girl's hand.

The Martian girl opened the car door, pulled Mary into the air, and then held her in her arms during the flight. What would normally be a 20-minute drive took only a minute or two before Mary saw her home.

This was because the Martian girl was worried that Mary wouldn't be able to handle it; otherwise, she could have gone even faster.

Seeing that the house was safe and sound, Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could exhale completely, she heard several sharp whooshing sounds.

Even the raging wind couldn't stop Mary. Her eyes widened as she saw several black objects, about half a person's height, falling from the sky, their target the little house where she and Garfield lived.

"Do not!!!"

Mary's voice was no match for the missile, and fearing for her safety, the Martian girl dared not continue flying forward and could only stop to watch the missile land.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three deafening roars followed, and with three massive explosions, Mary's house was instantly blasted into the sky, followed by a pillar of fire shooting into the heavens.

At that moment, Mary felt like her heart was about to die, but the Martian girl's words pulled her back to reality the next second.

"Wake up, Mary! Garfield's alright!"

"what?"

In a daze, Mary saw the towering pillar of fire begin to rotate and then shrink, finally dissipating and revealing two figures, one large and one small, that had been engulfed in flames.

The larger one was enveloped in orange-red flames, with a body made of dark red rocks inside, making it look like a stone man encased in flames.

This is Yang Le, who has transformed into a fire-man, and the smaller one next to him is naturally Garfield.

The Flame Man possesses the power to control fire. Under his control, the flames not only cannot harm him and Garfield, but will even turn into a protective shield to protect the two of them.

"Garfield!" Mary cried with joy, calling out her son's name. Little Garfield was still stunned, clearly not yet recovered from the shock.

It's understandable. After all, no matter how mature he appears, he's still just a seven or eight-year-old child. The fact that he wasn't scared to death on the spot already shows his extraordinary courage.

"Are you alright, Garfield?"

The Flame Man looked down and asked Garfield at his feet, who just nodded blankly. This fueled the Flame Man's anger, which manifested in the flames on his head and the volcanoes on his shoulders spewing thick flames.

The Martian girl landed slowly with Mary. Because Martians fear fire, she could only choose a relatively far place to land, hiding in the distance and fearfully watching the flames engulfed in flames.

"Keep an eye on Mary and Garfield, Martian girl." Flames erupted beneath the Flame Man's feet. "I'll be right back."
