American comic: I, JoJo, am going to heaven!

new York

As soon as the plane landed, Pepper wanted to chat with Jon a little longer.

Stark Industries has such a mess that she has absolutely no time for anything right now.

In addition to the media-created public opinion crisis, Pepper also had to appease the board of directors.

Even Rhodes had to call the National Guard all day long, telling them not to drive tanks to Tony's doorstep.

However, these trivial matters had nothing to do with Jon.

Right now, his only concern is finding the perfect Aja Redstone; nothing else matters.

At Jon's house.

A team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents is secretly delivering a rather large sealed box.

The box contained Aja's redstone, which Fury had painstakingly obtained from the Sandbox base under the guise of a temporary transfer.

Actually, Jon can understand Fury.

Sending Redstone to the secret base is obviously more troublesome than going through the cumbersome process of using a temporary transfer as a pretext.

Because then it wouldn't be called a secret base.

"Hello, Consultant Yovik." A smartly dressed agent stepped forward. "I am Grant Ward."

"I know you, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best field agents." Jon shook his hand. "I've heard so much about you."

"You flatter me." Ward maintained a professional smile, but avoided meeting Jon's gaze.

He didn't know why, but whenever he met Jon's red vertical pupils, he would feel a sudden panic.

Coupled with this person's sinister expression, a smile that doesn't reach their eyes, and an evil face that could scare a child to tears with just a smirk, this person's demeanor was truly terrifying.

A strange, inexplicable feeling welled up inside Grant Ward.

Very strange.

Seeing that Ward seemed a little distracted, Jon spoke up, "Agent Ward, where's what I asked for?"

"Sorry." Ward then realized he was still holding the other person's hand and quickly let go.

"The stuff is in the car."

After loosening his grip, he immediately turned around and winked at the agents behind him.

Upon seeing this, several agents immediately unloaded a large box from the truck.

"So many?" Jon rubbed his temples. "Looks like we're in for a busy day."

"Advisor," Ward said, about to take his leave, "now that the goods have been delivered, we'll..."

"Wait a minute." Jon raised his hand. "It won't be long before you have to take them all back exactly as they were."

"I can identify them very quickly, so you won't have to make another trip later."

Before the agents could react, Jon picked up his ID card and swiped it to unlock the lock.

With a hiss, a burst of cold air shot out from the box.

As they watched, eight small lifting platforms slowly rose from the box.

Each of the lifting platforms has a red gem of varying sizes in the center.

Upon seeing this, all the agents present involuntarily held their breath.

Even these field agents rarely have the opportunity to witness the legendary 084 items firsthand.

"Only eight?" Jon scoffed. "I thought there would be at least several hundred."

"This is a losing proposition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jon noticed the curious gazes of the agents around him.

"Hmm?" Jon's eyes were full of amusement.

Immediately, he picked up a red stone with two fingers, pretended to hold it up to the sunlight, and secretly observed the expressions of the others.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes followed him as soon as he picked up the redstone.

"Are you curious?" Jon asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ward hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward: "Is this some kind of gemstone?"

“That’s right.” Jon observed the sunlight refracting through the redstone intently. “But you’d better step back.”

"What? Okay, I understand..."

Ward spoke while wisely backing away.

But before he could finish speaking, a laser suddenly shot out from the redstone and instantly pierced through the floor.

And a charred hole was burned right where he had just been standing.

"watt!"

Ward's pupils contracted sharply, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Even someone with strong mental fortitude was startled.

If he hadn't instinctively listened to Jon's advice and stepped back in time, his foot would have been pierced by now.

"Unfortunately, the purity is still far from ideal." Jon smacked his lips and put the redstone back in its place.

While this redstone can focus sunlight into lasers, it is far from being an ideal ripple amplifier.

Jon Snow's Ripple is no match for the Pillar Men.

Given that Jon's Ripple talent is far from ideal, finding Aja's Redstone as a Ripple amplifier becomes essential.

Moreover, as the world's only Ripple user, it can gain the upper hand and enhance one's strength.

Jon Snow must find the perfect Aja Red Stone to deal with the Pillar Men who are about to awaken.

On the other side, behind Jon.

Ward's brow furrowed slightly, and his knuckles tightened involuntarily.

A gem that can emit lasers? He secretly memorized this information.

This intelligence was far more valuable than expected, and he was already preparing to report it to Garrett.

If we could use modern technology to simulate the properties of gemstones, we could produce a batch of laser weapons.

This is very advantageous for Hydra!

"Looks like he remembered it. Quickly tell Hydra about this, so they'll pay attention to Aja's Red Stone again!"

Jon caught a glimpse of Ward's subtle change in expression out of the corner of his eye.

A subtle smile crept onto his lips.

To be honest, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he just wanted to show Ward Aja's redstone abilities.

Otherwise, why would Hydra help him find Aja's Red Stone?

The world is so vast that finding the perfect Aja Redstone on his own is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Knowing how to leverage the power of others to get things done is the choice of most smart people.

When Hydra goes looking for Redstone, he'll go and steal Redstone, creating a perfect supply chain.

Finally, after repeated testing, Jon managed to select an Aja redstone that could barely amplify the Ripple.

In front of everyone, he put the gem into his pocket and said:

"Now you can take it back."

After saying that, Jon reached out and closed the box, gesturing for him to proceed.

"Advisor." A clear female voice suddenly interrupted his actions.

Jon looked up and saw a female agent with a ponytail blocking his way.

"Advisor, you cannot take item 084 without Chief Fury's permission."

"Oh?"

Jon looked her over with interest; not just anyone would dare to talk back to him.

Then, his gaze finally fell on the name written on the name tag on her chest.

Jessica Miriam Drew? Jon murmured the name to himself.

He had a feeling that he had heard the name somewhere before.

"I see," Jon immediately understood.

Because in this world, any name that feels familiar to him is either a hero or a villain in the future.

The name of a nobody is not worthy of his remembrance.

That would be interesting...

So, Jon, whose sense of humor was running wild, decided to teach her a little lesson.

This lesson is called the Importance of Rights.

Thinking of this, Jon immediately spoke:

"Agent Jessica?"

As he spoke, Jon leaned forward slightly, his massive size exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"What is your access level?"

Jessica was now completely shrouded in shadow. She swallowed hard and shouted to bolster her courage.

"Level 3, Consultant!"

"I'm Level 5." Jon suddenly laughed, pulling his phone from his pocket. "Need me to demonstrate how I can use my privileges to crush you?"

There was a document on the phone.

Jessica's eyes flickered a few times.

But when she saw the authorization document from Fury, her shoulders slumped almost imperceptibly for a moment.

But the next second she resumed her standard standing posture and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"I understand, advisor, but I will make that note in the mission report."

"Very good." Jon appreciated her attitude.

"Keep this attitude, and you'll be up to level four very soon, I guarantee it."
