Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 191 The Demon King Who Eats People Without Spitting Out Bones Returns (Second Update!)
"What else do you want?"

"..."

The moment that eerie voice came from behind the Hydra trio, the expressions on their faces vanished instantly.

Even his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Gwen laughed.

The serious and threatening expression on her pretty face melted away at a visible speed. Her gaze swept over the shoulders of the Hydra trio in front of her and landed on Hawk, who seemed to have appeared out of thin air behind them. A very beautiful smile gradually appeared on her face.

really!

When I'm in danger, Hawke is always there for me in the first instance.

Gwen smiled sweetly.

next second.

Her gaze returned to the Hydra trio in front of her, whose faces were pale and who seemed to be trembling all over. She glanced at them with a look that said, "See, I just warned you."

Inside the house, Sharon Carter, who had been pressed against the wall, trying to stay awake and was planning to leave at the last minute to avoid implicating Gwen, relaxed upon hearing Hawke's voice. Then, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Hearing the noise, Gwen turned around and immediately saw Sharon lying on the floor by the wall.

"Sharon!"

Gwen's expression changed instantly, and she turned and ran into the house without even closing the door.

Since the male head of the household has returned, there is no need to close the door.

When Hawke discovered he couldn't contact Gwen by satellite phone, he worried something had happened and immediately rushed back to New York City after hanging up.

then……

He saw the three federal agents standing at his doorstep, being stopped by Gwen. With a thought, he vanished into the sky and reappeared behind the three agents, just in time to hear what seemed to be a threat to his fiancée.

Hawke smiled.

After Gwen called out "Sharon" without any acting and ran into the house, the Hydra trio standing at the door reacted, their expressions like they were going to a funeral, their heads turning slowly as if mechanically rotating.

They saw Hawke.

The man who was given the title of "Demon King" by the organization.

Hawke looked at the three Hydras who had turned around, his expression neither sad nor happy, and even his tone was quite calm: "Continue, or what are you going to do? Are you planning to force your way into my house, or are you planning to kill my fiancée before breaking in?"

Upon hearing this, the Hydra trio shuddered, shaking their heads vigorously like rattles, their faces turning pale, and their voices becoming urgent.

"Don't dare."

"Absolutely not."

“We were just trying to scare him.”

“We are also acting under orders, Demon King… no, Mr. Phoenix.”

"hehe."

Hawke looked at the three Hydra members in front of him, who were almost crying and even about to kneel down and beg for mercy, and chuckled softly, just in case.

"Hydra?"

"..."

The Hydra trio, who were desperately trying to save themselves, froze upon hearing the sound and exchanged glances.

Finally, the leading Hydra agent looked up at Hawke, swallowed hard, and then revealed their original plan—one playing the good cop, one the bad cop, and the other the stern cop—to force Sharon Carter out of the situation.

“Mr. Phoenix, we really have no intention of taking any action against Ms. Stacy.”

"No, we haven't even considered that."

"Yeah."

Hawke listened to the Hydra trio's plan, his gaze becoming somewhat profound as he looked at the three men before him: "You said you didn't want to come, that you were forced to come by your superiors. Who, Alexander Pierce?"

The three men exchanged glances, and finally, the leader, Hydra, answered Hawke's question.

"No, it's John Garrett."

"who is he."

Hawke listened to the name, thought for a moment, and found that he could not find any information about this person in his memory bank.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a minor character.

but……

How dare a nobody try to break into his house while he was away?
Good guy.

Was it because I didn't kill enough, or because I didn't kill ruthlessly enough?

Row!
Then I'll kill even more, and kill even more ruthlessly.

Hawke thought to himself.

At the same time, the leading Hydra agent also revealed all the information he knew about his superior, John Garrett.

"He is our superior and the commander in charge of this New York SHIELD Struggle Project."

John Garrett was also a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"However, he basically doesn't carry out missions anymore; instead, he serves as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York."

“He was in charge of this operation. We told him that Sharon Carter had come to your side. We were planning to go back and didn’t want to come here.”

“But John Garrett gave us a piece of his mind.”

“He insists that we either capture Sharon Carter or kill her, and if we don’t, he’ll kill us. We have no choice.”

"real!"

"We were wrong, we will never do it again, please, please forgive us this time."

As the lead Hydra agent began to speak, the other two Hydra agents joined in, each offering their own information about John Garrett, and once again fighting for their lives.

They prayed to Hawke.

They prayed that Hawke would forgive their dog lives.

Hawke remained motionless.

Just as the three stopped talking and looked at Hawke with pleading tones, a slight smile appeared on Hawke's expressionless face.

The three of them were overjoyed.

but……

Hawke's next words plunged them into an icy abyss.

"Thank you, but no!"

The words fell!

Eye shock!
Hawke's eyes turned crimson in an instant.

The next second. Boom!
The instant two beams of blazing crimson energy shot from his eyes, the three Hydra agents in front of him, who still held a sliver of hope that they had survived, were instantly reduced to ashes by the two blazing phoenix flames.

wrong.

To be precise, it vaporized on the spot, leaving not even ashes.

Hawk learned this skill after fighting Icarus and absorbing the massive life energy of Thiam.

In fact, the principle is very simple.

It's using eye impact to unleash the Phoenix Cosmic Power of its current variant.

After learning it, he looked forward to the next time he would meet Icarus.

Hawke was eager to know whether Icarus's thermal vision was superior, or whether his own mutant eye impact was more powerful.

But for now...

The effect is very good.

Hawke, his eyes now clear again, looked at the empty spot where the Hydra trio had just stood, now devoid of even ashes, and smiled slightly, thinking to himself.

He never said he would let three Hydra agents go.

What a joke.

If you say you don't have this idea, then why are you knocking on the door?

Moreover, the three of them not only knocked, but also made threats.

Ha ha.

This shows that these three Hydra agents were somewhat complacent.

The most important thing.

There might be some kind of probing element involved here.

Hawke didn't want to give anyone a chance to test him.

Not even once.

What if he lets these three people go this time? What if someone breaks into his house next time for the same reason and says something like he didn't want to come?

This doesn't work.

How can this be allowed?

Hawke did not intend to give anyone that impression.

To achieve this, he first desecrated General Ross's family cemetery, then killed Ross's entire family, and later wiped out the Wakandan race.

There is a saying that goes well.

The killings we are inflicting now are only to prevent even greater killings.

Kill to stop killing.

Hawke's goal is to clearly identify all enemies, whether they are in the open or in the shadows—a very simple thing.

Don't mess with me, or I'll kill your whole family and even your entire clan.

and so……

"John Garrett, is it?"

"hehe."

"I'd like to see if you have nine lives."

Hawke smiled and looked toward Times Square.

But just as he was about to leave for S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York, he heard Gwen's voice calling from inside the house.

"Hawk."

"……coming."

Hawke's murderous intent, which had just surged within him, was instantly suppressed. He regained his composure, said something, and went straight back into the house.

into the eye.

Gwen, who had just helped Sharon Carter to the sofa, looked at Hawke while feeling Sharon's weakening pulse and said, "Hawk, Sharon seems to be dying."

Hawke glanced at Sharon Carter upon hearing this.

"There's still a bullet fragment that hasn't been removed."

"Impossible, I..."

Gwen instinctively retorted, glancing at the bullet fragments she had just removed for Sharon; indeed, one of the bullets was only a partial fragment.

"hiss!"

Gwen gasped and looked at Hawke: "Then we should get her to the hospital right away."

Hawke nodded, and with a slight flick of his right hand, he used telekinesis to instantly lift the unconscious Sharon and move her towards the garage.

Seeing this, Gwen also got up from the sofa and hurriedly followed Hawke toward the garage.

"I'll go with you."

"Row."

Hawke did not refuse. Before he was sure whether Hydra was deliberately provoking or testing him, it would be safer for Gwen to stay by his side.

only……

As Hawke placed Sharon in the back seat and waited for the garage door to open, he seemed to remember something, glancing sideways at Gwen, who was already fastened in the passenger seat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"They eat people without spitting out the bones, is that true?"

"what……"

Gwen, who had just fastened her seatbelt, was taken aback at first, then smiled slightly at Hawke's ambiguous expression.

"I'm just describing you in a more terrifying way to scare them away."

"It's all your fault."

"I?"

Hawke was stunned.

Gwen nodded: "It's your fault for being gone for more than half a month. If you had come back sooner, I wouldn't have needed to describe you as so terrible, would I?"

Hawke opened his mouth, met Gwen's accusing eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"Well, my bad."

"It's okay, I forgive you. Let's drive."

"..."
