Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Was Tony's research data leaked? Or was my DNA sample accidentally collected?

Lu Mingfei was unsure of the situation, but the best source of information right now was Professor Lizard. Capturing him should yield some useful information.

"Who are you? How can you control my Deadpool?!" Professor Lizard felt his scientific understanding being challenged—could it be that someone from that mysterious organization had secretly taken control of Deadpool? But when and how did they do it?

"Your Deadpool?" Lu Mingfei shook his head. "No, they are my Deadpool."

Almost as soon as he spoke, the three Deadpools charged toward Professor Lizard.

Although Deadpool is strong, Professor Lizard's physical abilities are even better. Moreover, the strongest Deadpool, who can release electricity, can't use his ultimate move for the time being, so he is less of a threat. He seized the opportunity and managed to break through the encirclement of the three Deadpools by enduring a few attacks, and charged towards Lu Mingfei.

As Professor Lizard swung his claws at Lu Mingfei, he raised his Silver Oak Sword. The runes on the sword flashed and disappeared in an instant, and then the bright silver light sliced ​​through Professor Lizard's arm, sending most of the severed arm flying far away.

The lizard professor abruptly stepped back, covering his half-arm with one hand. The bleeding from the cut surface stopped instantly, and granulation tissue rapidly spread, healing at a visible speed.

He was terrified by Lu Mingfei's incredibly powerful sword strike. Although he could recover quickly from severed limbs, it was still faster than Lu Mingfei's attack. So he hurriedly retreated, only to be entangled by the pursuing Death Servants.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing them, so Professor Lizard was able to catch his breath and fight the three-headed Deadpool while recovering his severed limbs.

Lu Mingfei did not press his advantage, and the reason was quite simple—the Lizard Professor's power was too terrifying, and he felt that it was not much weaker than Peter's.

Peter's full-force punch could bring him to the brink of death, and if the Lizard Professor's attack landed, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it either.

The reason he was able to sever the Lizard Professor's arm with a single sword strike was entirely due to the sharpness of the Silver Oak Sword and the fact that he had used amplified power, which tripled the power of that strike.

Although the Silver Oak Sword is sharp enough for close combat, his small frame is still too fragile. If he gets hit, he'll probably get a buff again.

It seems unlikely that those three Deadpools alone could defeat Professor Lizard.

Lu Mingfei frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration—lizards are cold-blooded animals, their bodies would shut down if the temperature dropped, so lizard people should also have some of this characteristic.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand and waved it, and a chilling aura swept through the sewer, instantly corroding the section of the sewer. The surrounding walls were covered in thick frost, as if they had been carved into an iceberg.

Sure enough, in such cold conditions, Professor Lizard's movements became noticeably slower.

Lu Mingfei seized the opportunity and pierced Professor Lizard's chest with his sword while Professor Lizard and Deadpool were locked in combat. Then, the devouring power of the Silver Oak Sword was activated. Professor Lizard tried to retreat, but Deadpool held him down at the cost of his life.

A moment later, most of the Lizard Professor's power flowed into the Silver Oak Sword, and he gradually became unable to struggle. He even began to show signs of turning back into a human. Lu Mingfei quickly pulled the sword out—he still needed to get the Deadpool information from the Lizard Professor, and he couldn't let him die.

Professor Lizard was captured by Deadpool. Lu Mingfei turned to Peter and said, "It's all done, Peter... uh... are you alright?"

Peter was still numb and shivering on the ice cave floor, giving Lu Mingfei an OK sign.

"I'm fine... Ah... Achoo!"

115. Chapter 114: The Deadpool Legion?

S.H.I.E.L.D., in a special prison.

This is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most heavily guarded prison, with only fifty rooms. Each room is completely sealed with alloy and has built-in high-voltage electrical equipment. If any of the prisoners inside make any unusual movements, they will be instantly electrocuted.

Ordinary criminals are not fortunate enough to be imprisoned in this kind of prison; only super criminals with extraordinary destructive power are kept here.

For example, the lizard professor captured by Lu Mingfei from the sewers.

Even among the many supervillains held by S.H.I.E.L.D., this kind of monster who can throw a car around like a toy is of a very high standard and requires the most secure detention environment.

Of course, this is on the premise that he remains in a lizard-like state.

In the prison, Professor Lizard, tightly bound by metal chains, lay on an iron bed. He had been injected with a large amount of sedatives and was still unconscious. Lu Mingfei approached, took a specially made syringe, and pierced Professor Lizard's body, pushing all the medicine in the syringe into his body.

Lu Mingfei then pulled out the syringe and stepped back, looking at Peter: "This is the reversal agent developed by Tony. It has been successfully tested on the mice before, and it should work well on Professor Connors as well."

The white mouse he mentioned was the mutated green mouse that Peter discovered in Professor Connors' lab. After Tony restored it to its original state with a drug, it was taken to his own lab for experiments with the Dragon Blood Locking Agent. It was like going from one danger to another.

“I hope Professor Connors is alright,” Peter said. “I found his experimental logs in the sewers. The lizardification caused him to develop an evil and tyrannical lizard personality that wants to transform all humans into lizard people to achieve human evolution.”

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Why does this setting seem a little familiar?"

Dr. Banner and the Hulk seem to have similar backstories, right? They even share the same green skin color. However, the Hulk isn't evil, nor is he particularly violent; at most, he's a bit irritable.

Besides Lu Mingfei and Peter, Natasha was also in the cell—although Professor Lizard was captured by Lu Mingfei, he was still locked up in a S.H.I.E.L.D. cell, a heavily guarded place. It was unreasonable to let two outsiders take him alone; at least she, as an agent, had to accompany him.

When Natasha received the mission, she couldn't help but grumble to herself, feeling that Fury was just trying to take advantage of any office worker he could find. These two monsters in front of her were like monsters; one could freeze her into an ice sculpture with a breath, and the other was as strong as a lizardman. If he put his strength into it, he might be able to punch her through. If these two superhumans really had any evil intentions, she was afraid she would die in prison today.

Under the observation of Lu Mingfei, Natasha, and Peter, the lizard doctor on the iron bed began to shed its keratinous scales, gradually shrinking in size and revealing human characteristics.

"No! Natasha, be careful!" Lu Mingfei suddenly whispered.

Natasha jolted, instantly assuming a fighting stance, ready to draw her weapon at any moment, and asked warily, "What's wrong?"

Is someone invading? Or is there a dangerous mutation occurring to the lizardmen on the metal bed?

Meeting Natasha's wary and serious gaze, Lu Mingfei explained, "Professor Connors isn't wearing any clothes."

After turning into a lizard, Professor Connors's size increased dramatically, his clothes were stretched to bursting, and unlike the Hulk, he didn't even have a pair of pants left.

Natasha: ...

……

Outside prison.

Natasha and Peter waited at the door. Peter was texting Mary Jane—on the day he officially debuted as Spider-Man, Lu Mingfei gave him a Cadillac convertible to celebrate.

Although considering that expensive cars are also costly to maintain, Lu Mingfei specially gifted a cheaper one, but it was still considered a top-tier "luxury car" in the eyes of ordinary people. So Peter mustered up the courage to invite Mary Jane to go for a drive.

As a result, he stood Mary Jane up today because of the Lizard Professor incident, and he's apologizing to her now.

Natasha glanced at Peter and Mary Jane's conversation a few times, then gave Peter a look that hinted at pity.

After a long apology and explanation, Peter finally calmed Mary Jane down a bit. Then he saw the prison door open and Lu Mingfei walk out.

"So, did you get anything useful out of the questions?" Peter asked, leaning closer.

After Professor Connors regained his human form, communication became much easier, so Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to ask him about the Deadpools and how he obtained those gene samples.

By leveraging his status as a friend of Tony Stark, a major shareholder of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lu Mingfei successfully secured a private interrogation of Dr. Connors, which is why Natasha and Peter were waiting for him outside.

“No,” Lu Mingfei shook his head. “Professor Connors was very cooperative, you could say he was very open and honest. The problem is that he doesn’t actually know much—if he wasn’t lying.”

He had already asked, and Dr. Connors told him that the gene sample was given to him by a mysterious organization that approached him and reached a cooperation agreement. As for the name of the organization and how they obtained Lu Mingfei's gene sample, the organization did not reveal anything to Professor Connors.

But Professor Connors still provided him with a very useful piece of information: the organization wanted to cooperate with his lizard personality to create an army of Deadpools to conquer the world.

When Lu Mingfei heard these words, he felt a throbbing headache.

"What did you ask?" Natasha asked curiously as Lu Mingfei came out.

“Isn’t Professor Connors an expert on reptiles?” Lu Mingfei replied casually. “So I specifically asked him which species of lizard tastes best and is suitable for sashimi.”

Natasha: ...

……

Tony's house, in the laboratory.

Lu Mingfei told Tony the information he had learned from Professor Connors.

"What do we do now?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Tony's face was grim. After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, this is my fault..."

“Not necessarily,” Lu Mingfei reassured him. “It may not have been leaked from you. It’s possible that someone collected my genetic sample through other means. The most urgent thing now is to find those people.”

“I’ve had Jarvis thoroughly investigate the lab, and there are indeed signs of a possible intrusion, but I can’t be 100% sure,” Tony said, shaking his head. “I don’t know who could have bypassed Jarvis’s security and sneaked into my lab.”

"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“Very few people can do this,” Tony frowned. “At least you need the technological support of S.H.I.E.L.D., or some kind of special superpower.”

Fury once entered Tony's laboratory uninvited.

"Could it be S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lu Mingfei speculated maliciously.

“That bald guy with the slicked-back hair may be filthy, but he shouldn’t be that filthy,” Tony shook his head. “However, we can’t rule out the possibility that that force has planted some informants or moles in S.H.I.E.L.D..”

“I’ve reinforced the lab’s security and had Jarvis start investigating,” Tony said. “The people who entered the lab left suspicious traces. Give me some time, and maybe we’ll find something.”

"That's all we can do now," Lu Mingfei sighed.

"By the way, is Captain America planning to run for president and end the war in the Middle East?" Tony asked in turn.

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei nodded, “He has already started preparing and has read a lot of political materials for the new era.”

“You said…we should support him, what do you say?” Tony suddenly changed the subject and suggested.

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

He wasn't surprised that Tony would make this decision. After all, ever since returning from the terrorist base in the Middle East, Tony had been trying to atone for the arms he had sold. Closing Stark Industries' military division, withdrawing from the arms business, and becoming Iron Man were all efforts he had made for this purpose.

With an opportunity to end the war right in front of him, he had no reason not to be tempted, and it was perfectly normal for him to want to get involved.

But... one of America's largest conglomerates has formed a political alliance with the newly awakened Captain America, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is also involved...

Lu Mingfei sensed that Nick Fury might be a little unhappy.

Chapter 116. The Return (of Chapter 115), and the Little Celestial Maiden Who Came to Stay.

Inside Steve's hospital room at S.H.I.E.L.D. Hospital.

After a period of rest and recuperation, Steve's condition has improved significantly, and he can be discharged from the hospital today.

Lu Mingfei and Tony came to pick him up—after friendly negotiations, they were now allies.

Tony supported Steve's presidential campaign financially, and Steve, if elected, wanted to end America's wars in other countries; the two hit it off immediately.

Steve was even quite pleased about this—he was good friends with Tony's father, Howard, and although Howard was dead, seeing his friend's son so righteous and fighting for life and human rights made him genuinely happy for Howard.

As for the comments about Tony that he saw online, such as "playboy," "loser," and "absurd tycoon," they were nothing more than minor flaws under the radiance of his "profound understanding."

So after reaching an agreement, Steve decisively declined S.H.I.E.L.D.'s offer and waited to be discharged from the hospital before joining Stark Industries to continue their unfinished business with his old friend's son.

Fury spent almost every day in the hospital ward during this period, dropping all the work he could, and even promoted Coulson to interim director to handle most of the work for him.

Fury used the time he saved to persuade the captain to change his mind.

As for the results... it's not that they were completely ineffective, but rather that they were negative.

Why is it negative? Because during this period, Captain America remained unmoved by his persuasion. On the contrary, he was touched by the captain's integrity and frankness several times and was almost "influenced".
