I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 268 The Temptation of the Angel's Scepter?

Brand ambassador?

Recalling the Miracle Corporation's main products and Tony Stark's mangled feet, Gillies instantly understood what Erin was planning to do.

Given Iron Man's current terrifying popularity, there is probably no more popular or well-received brand ambassador in the world.

If he could actually agree to become the spokesperson for the miracle potion and let people see his bloodied and mangled feet rapidly healed under the treatment of the miracle potion.

With such a double shock, the topic of the miracle potion will definitely be ignited instantly.

Needless to say, at least the reputation of the Miracle Potion is no longer a concern.

Once you've built a reputation, why worry about sales?

"But given Tony Stark's personality, would he agree to become the spokesperson for our Miracle Potion?"

"Furthermore, since we want Tony Stark to be the face of the Miracle Potion, wouldn't it have been inappropriate to treat him like that just now?"

After hesitating for a moment, Kiris still asked the question.

Tony Stark's terrible temper is notorious. I even turned off my phone just now to avoid answering his call. How could he agree to be the spokesperson for the Miracle Potion after all that?

Moreover, apart from some Stark Industries products, Tony Stark has never endorsed any other products.

Seeing the doubt in Gillies' eyes, Erin smiled and said, "Don't worry, he'll agree."

Tony Stark still owes him several favors, so it's not unreasonable to ask him to endorse the Miracle Potion in exchange for one of those favors!

In fact, after learning that Erin had treated Natasha, Tony had a vague feeling that it was hopeless to get Erin to treat his foot injury today.

Tony remembered that Erin had said he couldn't use this miraculous treatment casually.

Although Tony had some doubts about the authenticity of the item, it didn't stop Erin from insisting.

After all, when he was at Erin's house last time, Erin didn't treat Happy after he treated himself.

As a result, Happy's injuries haven't fully healed yet.

You should know that my injuries were much more serious than Happy's.

However, it is precisely because of this stark contrast that Tony Stark wanted Arryn to give him a Holy Light Healing.

Today, Erin "forgot his duty" and used the Holy Light Heal on that beautiful female agent. So, it should be his turn tomorrow!

Regardless of the circumstances, Tony Stark didn't want to endure the excruciating pain in his feet for even a second longer.

However, that's precisely why he kept dialing Erin's number.

As for the Miracle Potion spokesperson, wouldn't it be the same if he waited until his foot injury healed before becoming a spokesperson?

Thinking of Aunt Pepper, who was still taking refuge in her house, Erin hesitated for a moment, then borrowed a phone from Gillies and dialed Pepper's private number.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone had only been ringing for a few seconds when Pepper's voice came from the other end.

"That one?"

"Aunt Pepper, it's me, Erin."

Upon hearing Erin's voice, Pepper on the other end of the phone visibly relaxed, then asked with a hint of nervousness, "Erin, are you alright? I couldn't get through to you earlier, I almost thought something had happened to you."

"Don't worry, Aunt Pepper, what could possibly happen to me?"

After chuckling, Erin changed the subject, saying, "But Tony, that guy, got seriously injured this time..."

Before Erin could finish speaking, Pepper interrupted, "I know, he called several times to complain when he couldn't reach you, and even wanted me to contact you so you could treat his foot injury tomorrow. But I already refused him for you. Let him learn his lesson this time... Does this guy really think those terrorists are fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will?"

In the end, even through the screen, Erin could feel Aunt Pepper's deep resentment on the other end of the phone.

Of course, this resentment wasn't directed at Arryn, but rather at Tony Stark.

For major media outlets and social networks, every time the superhero Iron Man takes action to fight crime is a feast for the eyes, sparking a frenzy of adulation.

For Pepper, however, every time Tony Stark faced those vicious criminals alone, it was a challenge to her heart.

Since ancient times, becoming a hero has never been easy.

Mark's armor is powerful, but does he really think those terrorists are made of clay?

Sometimes, Pepper would wake up in the middle of the night, fearing that Tony might never come back from that battle with the terrorists.

Tony's injury this time undoubtedly confirmed, to some extent, the unease in Pepper's heart.

When Erin sensed the intense resentment Pepper was conveying over the phone, he was slightly taken aback.

Good guy.

I had already figured out how to explain it to Aunt Pepper.

But I never expected her to be even more ruthless towards her boyfriend than she was.

of course.

Erin also detected a hint of worry and fear in Pepper's words.

Perhaps, to some extent, Aunt Pepper also wanted to use this injury to allow Tony Stark to stay home and recuperate peacefully for a while.

But this is for the best.

Thinking of this, Erin said, "Aunt Pepper wants to teach Tony a lesson, right? If so, that's certainly a good idea. Well, to be honest, I also think Tony is getting a bit too cocky. The Mark armor is strong, but he's been beaten up quite a few times recently."

"By the way, if I'm not going to use Holy Light to heal him, why don't I just have Tony speak on behalf of my company's miracle drug..."

Then, Arlin discussed the effects of the Miracle Potion with Pepper, as well as his desire to have Tony Stark as the spokesperson for the Miracle Potion.

"Is she the spokesperson for Miracle Potion?"

After hearing Erin's words, Pepper was somewhat tempted by Erin's suggestion, but she did not agree immediately. Instead, she said that she would talk to Tony later and then give Erin a reply.

Although Pepper guessed that Tony would most likely agree, she was not Tony after all.

In some matters, Pepper couldn't make decisions for Tony.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Pepper. Oh, by the way, Tony always says he owes me a favor, right? Could you tell him that if he agrees to this, it'll be considered as repaying a favor to me?"

"Well, if Tony agrees to be the brand ambassador, then Aunt Pepper, you'll have to discuss the specifics with Frederick."

·······················

After hanging up the phone.

Erin and Kiris strolled slowly along the devastated streets.

Because of the impact of those mechanical beings, several streets, including Braun Street, were covered with crimson blood and countless corpses.

Compared to the calamity caused by the evil god in Harlem.

Although the scope of this mechanical catastrophe was not as wide, the number of people who died as a result was no less than that of the catastrophe caused by the evil god, and in fact, it was even more.

Last time.

When faced with the calamity of evil gods, people are more affected by the worm plague and the phantom of evil gods, and their spirits are polluted.

This time, however, there was no more spiritual pollution, but the real hail of bullets and endless artillery fire directly threatened those people's lives.

Whether it was the ordinary people who were initially torn apart by the steel torrent, or the New York police officers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who came one after another to stop the killing by the mechanical lifeforms, they were basically killed directly by the bullets and cannon fire of those mechanical lifeforms.

Of course, in such a fierce firefight, the number of injured would be considerable.

Walking through the blood-stained streets, Erin could hear people's wails and cries almost every moment.

Looking at the ordinary people lying in pools of blood on both sides of the street, losing their lives amidst their cries, and the people surrounding them crying and making a scene.

For some reason, a strong urge to help them welled up in Erin's heart.

"Are you influencing me?"

Raising his right hand and feeling the slightly warm angel's scepter mark, Erin shook his head and said, "The angel's bewitching power is indeed formidable. Even my meditative state of mind has been affected without my realizing it."

"If I don't help them this time, my conscience will be uneasy, and I might even develop inner demons!"

"What a terrible temptation!"

"To soothe my conscience, I'll help them this time!"

After muttering to himself for a while, Erin greeted Gillies and then ran quickly toward the nearest, dying child.

･･････････

As Erin ran.

The angel scepter brand on his arm trembled slightly, as if dissatisfied with the blame suddenly being placed on his head.

And a hint of relief seemed to flash across his face at Erin's actions.

Even the angel relief on the angel's scepter seemed to be faintly smiling.

Immediately afterwards, the angel's scepter trembled slightly, and a mysterious radiance flowed from the center of the angel relief's brow, then permeated into Erin's body.

After making this move, the angel relief seemed to lose its last bit of power and completely dimmed.

Even the mark of the angel's scepter gradually faded.

As Erin rushed toward the dying child, a strange look seemed to appear in his eyes after he felt the peculiar power suddenly emanating from his body.

Just now.

A holy light energy, which could be controlled by Erin, emanated from the angel's scepter.

Although the quantity of that holy light energy was not large, its quality was exceptionally high.

Erin had a feeling that if he mobilized even a tiny bit of its power, he could unleash a healing spell no less powerful than a basic Holy Light Heal.

"Is this the help you're giving me? So you do possess the characteristics of being alive. You were the one who bewitched me just now."

He paused slightly, glanced again at the now-faded angel scepter mark, and seemed to have made up his mind.

After shaking his head, Erin, even more convinced that he had been bewitched by the angel's scepter, quickened his pace and ran towards the little boy who had been hit by a stray bullet and was lying in a pool of blood.

Beside the little boy, a somewhat young mother was anxiously pressing gauze against the wound on her child's stomach where he had been hit by a stray bullet, trying to stop the bleeding.

Meanwhile, her blood-stained hands kept dialing emergency numbers, requesting an ambulance.

However, emergency numbers at major hospitals are already overwhelmed with calls, so how could she possibly get through?

After walking over to the little boy, Erin said to the child's mother, "If you want to save your child, please make room for me!"

The young mother next to the little boy, who was flustered and at a loss, instinctively made way for Erin after hearing her voice.

Although she moved her body slightly, she didn't loosen her grip on the little boy's stomach with the gauze.

It seemed as if they were afraid that if they loosened their grip, they would also lose their child's life.

He squatted down and stroked the little boy whose eyes were somewhat blurry, as if he were on his deathbed.

A voice imbued with special power slowly reached the little boy's ears.

"Little one, how about I show you a magic trick? After watching me do it, your tummy won't hurt anymore."

Erin's words seemed to contain some special power, forcibly awakening a hidden life force within the little boy's body.

Stimulated by this vitality, the little boy, who was on the verge of death and whose consciousness was beginning to fade, miraculously regained his senses.

Then, with a tearful gaze, she looked at the older brother dressed like a magician in front of her and said, "Really, big brother? Can you use magic to make my stomachache disappear?"

"Oh my god, Tommy..."

Seeing her son regain consciousness after being called by Erin and clearly utter those words, the young mother covered her mouth in disbelief.

She had been calling out to Tommy repeatedly, but to no avail. Yet this stranger dressed as a magician had easily awakened her son.

Could he really save his son?

Thinking of this, as if grasping at a lifeline, a glimmer of hope instantly welled up in the young mother's eyes.

In a trembling voice, she pleaded, "Sir, please save my child. If you can save my child, I'll do anything, even..."

Before the somewhat reckless young mother could finish speaking, Erin placed her right hand on the one that was pressing on the little boy's stomach, then moved her hand away, saying, "In that case, leave this to me!"
