Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 332 Stability in the Rear Area (First Update!)

Around 11:30 a.m.

Under Gwen's watchful gaze, Hawke slowly rose into the air, then with a graceful turn, transformed into a golden streak and sped toward the Flint Monastery on the Texas border.

ten minutes later.

Two unremarkable electrical maintenance vans drove into Palm Street.

A black Chevrolet SUV was parked in front of house number 521A. Sharon, wearing a high-quality black long coat and a khaki cashmere scarf, got out of the Chevrolet and knocked on the door.

Gwen opened the door and hugged Sharon.

"he's gone?"

"Ah."

"don’t worry."

After Sharon followed Gwen into the house, she smiled and said, "Hawk has never lost a match since his debut. Didn't Thor say last month that he was no match for Hawke?"

Gwen smiled upon hearing this.

This is true.

Since Hawke's debut in the Battle of New York, he has appeared in Quantico, the Hulk, Wakanda, the Dark Elves, Mephisto...

Never been defeated.

The worst time was the battle against the Hulk, but even then, Hawke was only weak and did not faint.

There's also Saul's assessment of his return to New York City last month.

and so--

Gwen put away her worry and smiled, saying, "Your comfort is very helpful."

Sharon smiled slightly: "It's not that my comforting words were effective, but that you also believe Hawke won't lose. Otherwise, no matter how much I say, you'll still worry about what you're worried about, won't you?"

Gwen pursed her lips, looked at Sharon, thought for a moment, and nodded.

“That’s true, I trust Hawke.”

"That's it. Have you eaten?"

"Just ate."

"So fast."

"Yes."

Gwen shrugged: "I originally wanted to wait for Hawke to come back from Texas before we ate together, but Hawke insisted that the meaning of that sentence was bad, like in the movies, that if you wait until you come back to get married, you definitely won't be able to come back, and if you wait until you come back to talk about it, you definitely won't be able to come back, so he insisted on eating first before leaving."

Sharon listened to Gwen's explanation and, thinking of classic "wait for me to come back" scenes from movies, nodded.

"Indeed, saying things like 'we'll do it when we get back' doesn't have a very good meaning."

"have you eaten?"

"No."

Sharon frankly said, "I was thinking if you haven't eaten, we could go out together and go shopping, since the satellite images won't be online anytime soon."

Gwen frowned.

"Won't it be released so soon?"

"Expected to go live in an hour."

Sharon answered, then asked curiously, "Didn't you say November 11th? It's only the 7th now, there are still four days left. Why is Hawke going there so early?"

Gwen shook her head: "She didn't say, but it's better to get there sooner rather than later. In case there are any traps there, and it's always better to wait in comfort than to make a long march."

There were no secrets between Hawke and her.

So after Hawke revealed their destination, Gwen went online to look up information about the Flint Monastery.

This flint monastery has existed for an unknown number of years; it first appeared during the Texas development period.

At that time, the ascetics discovered this place, renovated the Flint Monastery, and then practiced asceticism here.

However, because it was located in the desert and there were no birds or people around, it was completely abandoned after the Texas development period, becoming a deserted place where even birds don't bother to poop.

Therefore, Gwen also agreed with Hawke's plan to go there sooner.

Take advantage of the situation and wait for the opportune moment; wait patiently for the rabbit to run into the tree stump!

Sharon nodded.

"That Xijing Town..."

What happened in Xijing Town?

"Should I send someone to keep an eye on Mr. Chloe when he returns, and make sure he doesn't get involved in things in Texas?"

"Need not."

Gwen smiled and shook her head upon hearing this.

“Wanda is watching over there, Mr. Chloe can’t get out.”

“You can’t go out, Mr. Chloe.”

In Amy's house.

After receiving Gwen's message, Wanda went out and came to the house diagonally opposite. She watched as Amy could freely enter and leave the house, but someone else couldn't get out. Andrew Chloe, who was trying to break the barrier Hawk had left in the house by sheer force, said, "And you can't break this barrier."

As she spoke, Wanda pressed her right hand against the wall of the house, and crimson chaotic magical energy surged, replenishing the barrier energy that Andrew Chloe had just depleted through his miraculous feat.

Andrew Chloe's blood wings fluttered slightly as he watched Wanda's movements, his brow twitching.

"I need to go out. He's in danger and needs my help."

"No, your staying here is the best help you can give him."

Wanda remained unmoved by his words, advising Andrew Chloe before turning to Jean beside her and saying, "Go, let your grandfather stay here and not cause trouble for your daddy."

Upon hearing this, three-year-old Qin's eyes lit up. She called out "Grandpa!" and quickly ran to Andrew Chloe. Then, looking up at Andrew's retracted blood wings, which he seemed afraid of damaging, she said in a cute voice, "Grandpa, can I touch your wings?"

These wings look so beautiful.

Qin blinked her big eyes.

Andrew was taken aback at first, then forced a smile onto his weathered, somewhat sallow face. He knelt down in front of Qin and said in as gentle a voice as possible, "Of course you can."

Qin blinked her eyes and reached out her little hand to touch Andrew's blood wings.

next second.

Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's so soft!"

"Grandpa, can you hug me?"

"of course."

Without hesitation, Andrew smiled broadly upon hearing this, and quickly but carefully cradled the violin in his arms.

After all, she is his granddaughter.

My granddaughter.

Although he still couldn't figure out what was going on from what his future daughter-in-law had said last night.

But one thing is certain.

The zither in front of him, and the two little ones sitting obediently in high chairs eating their baby food in the kitchen not far away, were indeed his granddaughter and grandson.

Qin was supported by Andrew's strong arms, nestled in his embrace, her little hands touching Andrew's blood wings, feeling as soft as if she were touching cotton.

Seeing this, Wanda, who was standing by the door and leaning against the kitchen, turned her gaze to Amy, who was feeding the two little ones sitting in the high chair, and said, "I'll go with you to the men's clothing store in town later?"

Amy, who was gently feeding her two grandchildren, paused slightly upon hearing Wanda's words and looked at Wanda: "The men's clothing store in town isn't really suitable for Andrew, is it?"

There is indeed a men's clothing store in town.

But the men's clothing there gave Amy the feeling that, how should I put it, it was as if it were tailor-made for Wanda's brother, Pietro, who had now become a street hustler in Westfield.

Upon hearing this, Wanda chuckled and said, "It's not that one, it's the one next door, it just opened this morning."

Yes.

It just opened this morning.

To be precise, this is the timeline of the clothing stores in town.

When news of Andrew Chloe's return in the early hours of the morning spread, the preparatory team for the men's clothing store in Westview Town went online ten minutes later.

Half an hour later, the various steps for opening a men's clothing store were finalized, and then the tasks were distributed.

At four in the morning, the new menswear store sign had already been hung up next to the menswear store that seemed to have been tailor-made for Pietro on the town's street, and people were quickly packing up the store.

At six o'clock in the morning, a container of men's clothing, the latest shipment from a certain country in the port, was loaded onto a truck. By the time it arrived in Xijing Town, the picking work had already been completed.

At seven o'clock, various wardrobes, a rack, and mannequins with clothes entered the store at the same time.

At 8 o'clock, the Xijing Town men's clothing store officially opened.

Moreover, along with the men's clothing store, a wandering circus was being set up in an open area east of Xijing Town.

The reason why it's a circus is quite simple.

Because in the 1990s, itinerant circuses were the most popular dating spots for New Yorkers.

The most important thing.

The place where Andrew Chloe and Amy Chloe had their first date, and the place they frequented most often, was a street circus like this.

and so--

This is how gods on earth are treated.

Don't be jealous.

After all, this is reality, not a movie. Scenes like Superman being questioned by Congress, as depicted in movies, will not happen to Hawke.

Because Hawke is not Superman.

The lower limit is full.

The upper limit is annihilation of the entire race.

Therefore, no one regards Hawke as Superman, nor does anyone dare to regard him as a Superman who can be summoned to Congress for a hearing with a single summons.

Perhaps some of those who knew of Hawk's existence had considered controlling him, but at the top level, within the core will of the five overlords, the option of attempting to control Hawk did not exist.

one more time.

The five overlords now have a good relationship with Hawk, and the relationship between Aegis and the Demon Lord Shackles is even better.

The most important thing.

Hawke tacitly approved of everything in Westview Town.

This is enough.

Amy didn't think much of Wanda's words. She glanced at Andrew, who was still wearing the old clothes she had kept for twenty years, and nodded: "Okay."

Wanda smiled slightly and looked at her daughter, who was petting the blood wings on Andrew's back: "Qin, you stay here with Grandpa. Mom will go home and change her clothes, and then we'll go shopping in town with Grandpa and Grandma."

Qin stroked her blood-red wings, which were as soft as goose feathers, and responded without turning her head.

Wanda then turned around, crossed the road, and returned to her house.

Pietro was in the kitchen, eating fruit cereal while looking at the instructions on the cereal box. When he saw Wanda return, he said to her, "I don't understand."

Wanda blinked and looked at Pietro.

"What don't you understand?"

"If Andrew Chloe can't go to Texas, why can't I?"

"Because it's dangerous."

"I can run fast."

"That's not OK."

joke.

Could someone like my brother, a street thug whose only redeeming quality is speed, possibly participate in a fight of Hawk's caliber?
Wanda decisively rejected the idea, then seemed to have thought of something. Magic surged in her right hand, and a crimson chaotic magic flowed directly into Pietro's body.

Pietro paused for a moment.

"what is this?"

"The magic rope prevents you from leaving Westview Town."

Pietro's eyes widened, as if he had just realized something, and he looked at his sister in disbelief: "...A dog leash?"

Wanda fell silent upon hearing this, then looked at Pietro and smiled slightly.

"...If that's how you see it, there's nothing I can do about it. But seriously, instead of running off to Texas to watch the show, why don't you think about how we should get revenge on Tony Stark?"

"..."
