I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 484 Unexpected News

"This guy..."

After mentioning her best friend, Gwen turned to Erin and asked, "When did you get back?"

"Just got back."

After a pause, Erin glanced at the clock on the wall and continued, "To be precise, I entered Earth's atmosphere three hours and forty-two minutes ago."

Upon hearing this string of numbers, Gwen, a top student, almost instantly completed a mental calculation.

Then, a slight smile appeared on Gwen's lips.

The time it takes to travel to and from the ground after breaking through the atmosphere;

Time taken to get from the landing point to New York;

Add to that the time it takes to locate yourself and get to Columbia Business School;

In other words, Erin arrived almost immediately after returning to Earth.

Thinking of this, Gwen tilted her head and looked at Erin, saying, "So, you came straight to see me as soon as you returned to Earth?"

Erin shrugged and said, "Of course, who told me to be so irresponsible and disappear for months? If I don't act more proactively now that I'm back, my angel might get angry."

Upon hearing this, Gwen wrinkled her nose slightly and said, "I'm not that petty."

After saying that.

Gwen glanced at the growing crowd around her and sensed that staying any longer would lead to big trouble. With a quick thought, she grabbed Erin's hand and hurried toward the business school gate.

It's unclear whether it was the joy of the long-awaited reunion that affected Gwen's perception of her surroundings or something else.

Gwen, with her keen senses, failed to notice this time that since Erin's appearance, the others' perception of them had been reduced to a minimum, as if they didn't exist at all.

Erin had clearly knocked out a bunch of people, but not a single one of them stepped forward to question him.

Even though the legendary superhero Erin had appeared right in front of them, not a single person actually looked at them.

Even before

Even they were enveloped inside.

······

A few minutes later.

A black, bulletproof Audi drove away from the business school through the rain.

In the car.

Gwen looked at Erin and said, "Can you tell me what has happened during this time?"

Seeing her boyfriend, who had disappeared for several months and seemed to have lost some weight, Gwen didn't angrily question him like the other girls. Instead, she looked at Erin with some concern.

Gwen knows Erin very well.

She knew her boyfriend; unless something unexpected happened, he would never disappear for so long.

Combined with what Erin just said, that it only entered the Earth's atmosphere a few hours ago.

Gwen was certain that something must have happened to Erin over the past few months to cause such a long delay.

"What happened? Well, there's a lot to say about that..."

Erin didn't hide anything from Gwen.

The Dark War of Asgard;

The destroyed Rainbow Bridge;

The Dwarf King's plea for help;

And the corruption of the evil god that befell the dwarven land of Vat Alheim...

Everything was slowly told to the quietly listening girl through Erin's mouth.

·······

So, the reason they couldn't return to Earth was because the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed?

Although Arryn's description brought the magnificent Dark War to life before Gwen's eyes, and the eerie corruption of Watt Alheim by the evil gods sent chills down Gwen's spine, Gwen's focus was on the Rainbow Bridge that Odin had destroyed.

How... annoying!

For some reason, Gwen suddenly had the thought, "If only we had a rainbow bridge too."

In that case, Erin wouldn't have to be trapped on an alien planet for so long.

Just as Gwen was pondering this.

A bracelet adorned with azure gemstones was worn by Erin on his right hand with one hand.

Before Gwen could speak, Erin said, "The Heart of the Ocean, according to legend, is a bracelet made by a god thousands of years ago who went to great lengths to find the Heart of the Ocean and created it after enduring countless hardships to find his beloved."

"Legend has it that if you put this bracelet on the wrist of your beloved, you are making a pact under the witness of the gods, binding your beloved to your side forever."

"This is a gift I specially found for you in the Dwarf Kingdom. I even beat out many competitors to get this bracelet."

So, do you like it?

After hearing Erin's story, Gwen looked at the bracelet on her wrist that shone with a captivating luster, narrowed her eyes, and said, "The bracelet is beautiful, but I prefer the story you told me."

"Really? Actually, I really like this story too."

Erin naturally liked the story he made up.

After chuckling softly, Erin looked at Gwen and said, "So, for the sake of this story, may I invite the beautiful Miss Gwen to dinner?"

Gwen's lips curled slightly upon hearing this: "That depends on your performance."

······

More than two hours later.

Gwen looked at him, exhausted, lying on the bed, fast asleep.

Having performed admirably, Erin chuckled and pulled up a thin blanket, covering Gwen's jade-like skin.

After leaning down and kissing Gwen's cheek, Erin suddenly realized that Ilya's words earlier were indeed unusually "effective".

Several months have passed since we last met.

The energetic young man almost caused a fatal accident by accidentally shooting someone.

But isn't that what young people are all about?

Erin quietly went to the bathroom to wash off the sweat. After changing her clothes in her room, she was about to get up and go downstairs to prepare a candlelight dinner for Gwen when she saw Gwen's phone screen suddenly light up.

Ok?

Looking at the number on the screen labeled "Dad".

Erin glanced at Gwen, who was fast asleep, and then quietly turned down the volume to avoid disturbing the tired Gwen with the call.

"Buzzing...buzzing..."

After vibrating for almost a minute, Gwen's phone screen went dark.

However, before Erin could even breathe a sigh of relief after making that phone call, he was overwhelmed with options.

Her own phone, which was on the table, lit up, and then Erin received a text message and a phone call from "George Stacy," also from the same source.

"Hmph, kid, now that you're back, stop pretending to be dead and find somewhere to answer the phone."

Looking at the text message that arrived almost before the phone call that day, Erin shrugged, walked out of the room, and answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Erin heard George's voice.

"I knew it. If that playboy from Stark Industries is back, there's no way you wouldn't come back too."

几分钟前。

After seeing the news on the police station's big screen that Iron Man Tony Stark, who had disappeared with Erin in that wormhole, had returned, George Stacy realized that her daughter's cheap boyfriend might have come back as well.

After saying that, George Stacy asked again, "Where are you now, kid?"

Erin: "At home."

Upon hearing this, George Stacy on the other end of the phone seemed to realize something and then fell silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, he continued:

"Whether you stay at home or not, try to avoid going to the Miracle Group during this time, or rather, don't go to the Miracle Group until you are ready."

Why?

Upon hearing this, Erin frowned slightly, then asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that while I was away, someone else was eyeing my things again?"

Several months ago, many people on Earth witnessed the horrific battle that broke out in Asgard.

The terrifying battle, which felt like the end of the world, coupled with the fact that Arryn and Tony Stark were trapped on the other side of the wormhole and hadn't shown up for several months, made them a truly terrifying spectacle.

and so.

On Earth, many people believe that the two superheroes, Arryn and Tony Stark, have died in Asgard.

He died on that terrifying battlefield.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.

In this situation, those greedy and ambitious individuals quickly set their sights on the Miracle Group.

But as time goes by...

Seeing the ever-increasing profits of the Miracle Group, many ambitious individuals who were already eager to get involved with the company suddenly became restless.

In fact, it's not just Arryn's Miracle Corporation; even Stark Industries, after losing the superhero Tony Stark, is now surrounded by wolves.

If it weren't for Pepper Potts and the experienced Fregra, whom Arryn brought in, who managed to maintain the current situation, Miracle Corporation and Stark Industries would probably have been devoured by those people long ago.

After some deliberation, George said:

"In the months that you and Tony Stark have been missing, a lot has happened on Earth, and those events have driven the importance of the Miracle Potion to ever greater heights."

Driven by certain individuals, both the federal government and the UN Security Council no longer wish to entrust such a vital strategic resource to a single company.

"Your company's Fregra should know the specifics of this better than I do. You can ask him directly if you have any questions."

"And what I want to tell you is... be careful in everything."

Does that tone mean someone is going to attack me?

interesting.

I just got back, and someone already wants to give me a surprise?

Thinking of this, Erin's eyes narrowed slightly, radiating a dangerous light.

"I understand. I'll be careful. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. George."

George: "If you really want to thank me, then bring Gwen back early. I don't want my daughter staying out all night."

After saying that, George Stacy hung up the phone immediately.

what!

Did you guess Gwen was next to me just from that missed call?

He truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran police officer with decades of experience.

But were those words just now the old father's last act of defiance?

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Erin chuckled and shook her head, then checked a black round plate ornament on the table.

"Lo, retrieve some major events that have occurred on Earth since I left."

The next second, a phantom 3D girl jumped out from the black disc.

"The task has been set up. Please wait patiently."

The electronic voice had barely finished speaking "Luo" when Erin's phone rang again.

"Sir, Fregra is calling you. Would you like me to answer the phone?"

Ok?

I was just about to call him when Fregra called me.

Thinking about what George had just said, Erin pondered for a second, then nodded and said, "Let's accept it. I want to see what these people are really up to."

The next second, Fregra's voice came out.

"Boss, I've already made arrangements for those dwarves."

Hearing this, Erin nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fregra. Now, can you tell me what's been happening at Miracle Corporation lately?"

"And who are these people now targeting the Miracle Group?"

Upon hearing this, Fregra paused slightly, then smiled wryly and said, "You knew all along?"

"No, someone just reminded me of that."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Erin's eyes as he said, "So, whose idea was this?"

After a long silence, Fregra on the other end of the phone slowly uttered a name that greatly surprised Erin.

Nick Fury.

This matter is actually related to him?

"Wait a minute, wasn't Nick Fury wanted by the federal government as a criminal? How did he get involved in this again?"

Under Erin's astonished gaze, Fregra slowly said, "I don't know the specifics either. But shortly after you disappeared, Boss, Nick Fury's wanted poster was lifted, and he quickly returned to the scene and took over S.H.I.E.L.D. again."

"According to Duke's investigation, this appointment was sent directly by the World Security Council."

"Moreover, the speed from the proposal to the issuance of this appointment was almost bizarre. Before the order was sent, Duke, as the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., did not even receive a word of it."

Ha ha.

An order directly from the World Security Council?

What trump card did Nick Fury use this time?

Was it Captain Marvel's forceful coercion, or something else entirely?

Hearing this, Erin shook her head: "Now that Nick Fury has taken back control of S.H.I.E.L.D., how's things going with Duke?"

"Duke! Although Nick Fury took the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. from Duke, the situation on Duke's side is actually better than expected. In fact, his men are even stronger than before."

Upon hearing this, Erin exclaimed "Huh?" and asked, "What's going on now?"

"After Nick Fury's return, in order to deal with the increasingly worse situation in the world, Nick Fury somehow managed to secure a lot of development funds from the World Security Council. Through these public funds, S.H.I.E.L.D. has expanded its workforce significantly, and Duke has also recruited a lot of outstanding talents as a result."

Hearing this, Erin paused slightly, then shook his head and asked, "If that's the case, have you figured out why Nick Fury is targeting us?"

Fregra: "The reason is simple: the Federation and the World Security Council both want the 'Miracle Potion,' and Nick Fury just handed them a knife."
