Chapter 108 Wakanda Falls Down, Everyone Gets a Feast (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
History will remember this day.

Because the moment Hawk blasted through Wakanda's vibranium energy shield with "Phoenix Wing Soaring," and the moment the vibranium energy shield shattered, Wakanda's dream of continuing to quietly amass wealth while simultaneously seeking UN relief food was completely shattered.

but……

These things are no longer relevant to Hawke.

Just as he told Maria Hill, he could help, and now that he had done so, he was naturally going back to where he came from.

Again.

Hawke sensed that he had been awake for long enough.

It's time to go home.

By the time Hawke returned to New York City, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Hawke walked straight out of JFK International Airport and into the parking lot.

His Audi A8 is still parked in the parking lot.

Hawke opened the car door and started the engine. After paying the hefty parking fee, as he drove away from the airport, something suddenly occurred to him.

Speaking of...

When he arrived in Quantico, he encountered robbers at the airport and an accident occurred.

This trip to Africa seems to be the same.

The plane was grounded, and after several twists and turns, it finally arrived in Africa.

hiss!
I hope that every time I leave New York City and go out into the world, I won't encounter any accidents.

Hawke wondered to himself.

Just then, the phone rang.

Anna's.

Hawke took out his phone, glanced at the number, and answered it directly.

Good evening, Anna.

"It's almost dawn here."

"...What time is it where you are?"

"Five o'clock in the morning."

Hawke listened to the time on Anna's end and smiled: "You've arrived in Wakanda?"

Anna chuckled. "Hawk, we're friends. You should tell us what's going on here."

Hawke laughed and said, "This gift was originally meant for you, Anna. Don't you think it's better this way? It saves you the trouble of fabricating sources for the news."

This is the truth.

He was thinking of Anna, which is why he told Maria Hill the truth about Wakanda.

Anna was slightly taken aback by Hawke's explanation.

"Given to...me?"

"of course."

Hawke smiled and said, "You've helped me a lot. I've always been very generous to my friends, just like I said before. I don't care what side they're on when I make friends. You're my friend, so it's because of you that I told Maria Sylvakanda the truth. So, Anna, tell the people behind you to promote you and give you a raise. Just say that's what I said."

Anna laughed on the other end of the phone.

“Okay, Hawke, I’ll tell my boss.”

“That’s right. I only took a small amount of vibranium from Wakanda. There’s still a lot left. You can decide how much to take, but you’re experts in this area.”

"Thank you for the gift, I love it, Hawke."

"nice! You love it."

Hawke said something, then added, "By the way, please keep an eye on Jane Foster's whereabouts. Let me know when she goes to London."

He doesn't remember the exact time when the Reality Stone, the Aether particle, appeared on Earth.

After all, the movie didn't explain how the Aether, or the Reality Stone, appeared on Earth on a specific date.

But Hawke remembers very clearly that the ether appeared around the time Jane Foster went to London.

and so……

There is no doubt that by focusing on Jane Foster, one can find the Reality Stone.

As long as Jane Foster goes to London, he will immediately go to London and follow Jane Foster, and he can easily obtain the Reality Stone.

Hawke then asked Anna to keep an eye on Jane Foster and let him know when she went to London.

Anna responded with a "thank you" on the other end of the phone, then thanked her again, jokingly said she was going to ask her boss for a bonus, and then hung up.

Hawke hung up the phone and focused on driving towards his apartment on Palm Street in Manhattan's East Village.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Just as he had just told Anna, he had indeed thought about how much trouble he had caused Anna, and thus decided to expose Wakanda as a gift to Anna, or rather, to Hydra behind Anna.

But that's only one of the reasons.

There are two other reasons.

One of the reasons is quite simple.

Hawke looked down on Wakanda, which was secretly developing its economy while receiving relief food from others as a means of survival.

He wanted to expose Wakanda's ugly side to the world.

If you don't want to be a human being, then don't be one.

Hawke could even foresee that with the exposure of Wakanda and the emergence of a large amount of vibranium, the five great philanthropists would be the first to become restless.

This is his third objective.

With the world's attention now focused on Wakanda, he can then attend to his own affairs.

After all, if Wakanda doesn't expose itself, whether he likes it or not, based on his earth-shattering battle with the Hulk on the plains, people will keep an eye on him and watch his every move for a long time to come.

But with Wakanda, things are different.

The reason is simple.

Keeping an eye on Hawk offers uncertain benefits, and a misstep could easily provoke him, leading to another Quantico explosion. But keeping an eye on Wakanda offers readily apparent advantages.

Putting aside the massive amount of vibranium, just considering Wakanda's advanced technology alone, if the five good guys obtained it, their strength would increase at a visible rate.

Including the treacherous Hydra that lives in the shadows!
and so……

Keeping an eye on Wakanda is in everyone's best interest.

As for whether Wakanda has any objections?

Ah.

When Wakanda chose to conceal and deceive, cheating the five philanthropists at the UN General Assembly and receiving relief food that should have been used to help the truly poor, it meant that his opinion had become irrelevant.

If you dare to conceal things today, you'll dare to commit crimes against humanity tomorrow.

The Five Good Men treated Wakanda like a poor man, kindly giving him relief food, but Wakanda treated them like colonels and retaliated against them.

Tsk tsk.

Wakanda's treatment of the five philanthropists as monkeys is far more egregious than Gaddafi's actions back then.

So this time, the five philanthropists don't even need to find a reason.

That gives us a legitimate reason to launch an attack!
The gods that Wakanda worships are now useless; only the Five Good Men know what fate awaits Wakanda.

However, this has nothing to do with Hawke anymore.

after an hour.

Hawke drove back to his home on Palm Street.

It's already 10 PM.

When Hawke got home, he immediately took off his Aegis T-shirt, rushed into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.

The icy water fell instantly, washing over Hawke's body.

In the small universe.

Every part of the universe radiated the aura of the phoenix, flowing slowly. The Phoenix Cloth was located in the very center, gradually strengthening itself with the aura of the universe.

Because Phoenix has already gone all in, Hawke's current cosmos should be at the peak of the Bronze cosmos.

but……

Going to Hell isn't enough; first, you need to find the Reality Stone, and then use its materialization ability to elevate your Cosmo to the level of a Gold Saint.

Only then does he have the right to say go to hell.

but……

This can't be rushed. After all, the Reality Stone hasn't appeared yet, and all he can do before it does is wait.

soon.

After Hawke finished showering, he came out of the bathroom, saw his phone ringing on the bed, walked over, looked at the incoming call, and answered it with a smile.

"Hey, Gwen."

"You're back in New York?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll go back tomorrow."

"Um... wait a minute."

Hawke threw back the covers, lay down on the bed, and blinked: "I'll be back tomorrow. Didn't you say it would be two months? Only half a month has passed."

He remembered that Gwen's study abroad trip to Berkeley lasted for two months.

He's back in just half a month?
Gwen smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "It's two months, but I didn't say I had to stay for the full two months. Mary asked me the other day when I was coming back. You forgot? We're graduating this semester, and we need to prepare our yearbook and address book in advance, so I'm planning to go back to school to help."

A graduation yearbook is an album containing individual photos of each graduate and a group photo of all graduates.

The address book, a magical phone book, records the contact information of alumni who have gone from Midtown High School to their current success.

This is a networking gift from Midtown College to its graduates.

Hawke listened to Gwen's words and remembered that Gwen was still the assistant at the university. He smiled and said, "Okay then, what time tomorrow? I'll pick you up from the airport."

Gwen smiled and said, "I'll be there at ten o'clock. Just come over at ten-thirty; I need to get my luggage."

Hawke hummed.

after awhile.

After chatting on the phone for a while, the two finally hung up.

Hawke looked at the phone he had just hung up, thought for a moment, tossed the phone aside, turned off the light, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

the next day.

Hawke drove to JFK International Airport once again.

Half past ten in the morning.

After Gwen pulled her luggage out of the station, she walked towards the parking lot while looking around for Hawke's whereabouts, her expression seemingly tense and worried.

at this time.

Gwen, who was searching for Hawke's trail, suddenly felt her left hand, which was holding the suitcase handle, being gently patted twice.

She subconsciously let go of her left hand.

Gwen looked to the side and saw Hawke, who had appeared at some point and was now naturally taking over pushing her suitcase.

Hawke smiled.

"Welcome home."

"Ah."

Gwen looked at Hawke, who had appeared beside her, and pursed her lips.

The worry and tension that had been on her face vanished the moment she saw Hawke, replaced by a relieved smile.
