American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

“Yes.” The blond, muscular man nodded and said, “We set up five groups of sentries around him, but we didn’t detect his movements at all. His stealth skills are superb.”

"Hmm." Rodman squinted and said, "As expected of Chloe."

Rodman's target was Chloe, and he didn't care much about the forces behind her.

After all, in his view, no matter how strong Chloe's grandfather was, he couldn't be stronger than the Emperor of America.

Moreover, his goal was to kill Chloe, not to seize her assets; completing the mission was enough.

“You continue to monitor him,” Rodman said to the blond, muscular man. “Let me know immediately if there’s any new information.”

"Yes, sir." The blond, muscular man bowed and accepted the order.

"Wait." Rodman suddenly called out to the blond, muscular man who was about to leave.

"Boss, is there anything else?" the blond, muscular man asked, turning around.

“Keep an eye on an Asian man for me, his name is Pei Yuan,” Rodman said.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll keep an eye on him," the blond, muscular man said.

“Okay.” Rodman nodded in satisfaction.

……

Meanwhile, after Pei Yuan destroyed several military bases in succession, the military was extremely angry.

They not only dispatched a large number of troops to encircle and suppress him, but also used military force.

Although the weapons have not yet been delivered, Pei Yuan has still encountered an unprecedented attack.

This time, the enemy is significantly stronger than before, with artillery, laser guns, missiles, sniper rifles, and all sorts of other firearms.

Some of Pei Yuan's former subordinates, who had previously had great confidence in him, became terrified and began to doubt whether Pei Yuan was really that powerful.

Despite the doubts of the crowd, Pei Yuan fought with increasing courage and even withstood a missile in one battle, nearly blowing himself to pieces.

Pei Yuan was seriously injured, but he survived and then fled with his men, disappearing into the vast night.

Shortly after Pei Yuan left, two helicopters landed and rescued several survivors.

……

A day later, Rodman returned to New York City.

In a luxuriously decorated villa, Rodman sat quietly on the sofa.

"Knock knock!" Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

“Come in,” Rodman said.

The door opened, and a slender, blond young man quickly walked in.

"Rodman!" The blond youth approached Rodman and said, "Why are you only just getting back?"

"Oh? What's wrong?" Rodman glanced at him and said indifferently.

The blond youth sighed and said, "You're in trouble this time."

"What trouble could I possibly get into?" Rodman scoffed, coldly replying, "I'm a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. now. Who dares to mess with me?"

"Rodman!" the blond youth said in a deep voice, "This time you've messed with the wrong person!"

Rodman raised an eyebrow and said, "I know, you want me to apologize to that person? Heh... Do you think I, a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., would be afraid of a nobody?"

"That's not just a nobody, he's a madman!" the blond youth said. "He's dangerous; if you fight him, you'll die!"

"Hahaha..." Rodman burst into laughter upon hearing this, saying, "Are you mistaken? That guy thinks he's worthy of opposing me? He's delusional!"

"You..." The blond youth choked on his words.

Rodman's words put the blond youth in a dilemma.

During this time, the blond youth kept sending people to hunt down Pei Yuan, but he easily evaded them all, and instead suffered heavy losses and returned in defeat.

"Enough with the nonsense." Rodman waved his hand and said, "I'm going to deal with that guy tonight. You better behave yourself. If you anger him, even I can't protect you."

The blond youth gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better be careful!"

"Get lost." Rodman waved his hand impatiently and said, "Also, your mission is over. From now on, you are free."

"Thank you," the blond youth said gratefully, then left the living room.

…………

Western suburbs of New York.

In a secluded courtyard, Pei Yuan held a teacup and slowly savored the fragrant tea.

"Dingling bell~"

Just then, Pei Yuan suddenly noticed the sound of artillery shells whistling outside, which seemed to be the sound of some kind of heavy weapon being fired.

"boom!"

A shell landed on the open ground in front of the villa. The shockwave from the explosion swept over the entire villa, causing it to shake violently. All the glass windows shattered, and countless fragments fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Pei Yuan frowned as he heard footsteps outside.

"boom!"

With a dull thud as the door was slammed shut, a group of heavily armed soldiers burst in.

One of them glanced around, pointed at Pei Yuan's nose, and shouted sharply, "Stand up!"

Pei Yuan raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Are you talking to me?"

"Enough with the nonsense! Get up now!" the soldier yelled.

Pei Yuan glanced at the soldier indifferently, slowly stood up, crossed his arms, and looked at the group of soldiers in front of him with great interest.

"Hands up! Now!" the soldier roared. "No aiming! No drawing your guns!"

Pei Yuan ignored the soldier and instead looked at a man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a hat, saying, "Brother, what country are you soldiers from? Why are you breaking into my house in the middle of the night?"

The man in the white shirt took off his hat, revealing a chiseled face. He looked at Pei Yuan, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Apollo, hello. Please allow me to introduce myself."

"Hello," Pei Yuan said calmly.

“My name is Bazarkov, and I am an arms dealer,” Bazarkov said with a smile.

“I don’t care who you are, now, please leave my house immediately,” Pei Yuan said. “Of course, I will pay you.”

As he spoke, he reached for his waist, preparing to take out money.

However, before he could even take out his pouch, a dagger had already pierced his clothes and was pressed against his throat.

At the same time, three other soldiers simultaneously reached into their trousers, pulled them out, and each held a pistol in their hand!

They are all special agents, highly trained and don't need communication equipment or contacts. They can take down most enemies with just their pistols.

In this situation, they could easily defeat an ordinary person instantly, without any suspense whatsoever!

"Heh heh, Mr. Apollo, your reaction speed is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, under our control, no matter how fast your reaction speed is, it's useless," Bazarkov chuckled slyly.

"You're here to kill me?" Pei Yuan said.

“Not bad,” Bazarkov said. “I admit, your strength is astonishing, but… this is the United States after all. I believe we can definitely take you down and retreat safely, because… we only have one goal, and that is your life!”

"Do you know who I am?" Pei Yuan suddenly asked.

“I don’t know.” Bazarkov shook his head, then said with a smile, “All I need to know is that you’re a superhero. Once we’ve captured you, the mission is complete. There’s nothing in this world that S.H.I.E.L.D. can’t do.”

Pei Yuan's lips curled into a mocking smile: "It seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. harbors a deep grudge against me."

“That’s inevitable,” Bazarkov grinned. “Because we’ve put a $50 million bounty on the dark web for your head!”

Pei Yuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. is really rich and powerful. Fifty million US dollars is no small sum."

“This is the President’s order,” Bazarkov said.

Pei Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Since you're already here, then stay."

"I advise you not to try to resist, as this will only worsen your internal injuries. You have no choice but to surrender now."

“Hehe, I’d like to see who the prey really is,” Pei Yuan said.

“Alright, since that’s the case, then… don’t blame me for being impolite.” After saying that, Bazarkov gestured to the two soldiers beside him, signaling them to restrain Pei Yuan. Then, Bazarkov walked behind Pei Yuan and delivered a heavy punch to the back of Pei Yuan’s neck!

This punch contains tremendous explosive power; if it lands, it will definitely cause serious skull damage!

Bazarkov's attack was extremely aggressive, clearly intended to kill in one blow!

But at that moment, Pei Yuan suddenly turned around and kicked out with his right leg!

A crisp sound!

Bazarkov's incredibly hard kneecap was shattered! His kneecap suffered an instant comminuted fracture, and even his intestines spilled out!

Bazarkov lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground! The pain caused him to let out a piercing scream!

"Damn it! Get him! Kill him!" Bazarkov shouted, clutching his stomach!

Several soldiers rushed over quickly!

But at that moment, Pei Yuan suddenly raised his left hand and slapped the person in front of him across the face!

Snapped!
