I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 519

I stepped out of the elevator.

After turning a few corners, Erin led Wanda and Pietro into a quiet room with a projector.

When Erin and Wanda walked in.

The projector placed on the long table in the center of the room was already turned on and in working order.

In front of the projector was a tablet computer and two brand-new documents that had just been printed and still smelled of ink.

After Wanda and Pietro found a seat at random, they were allowed to sit down.

Erin first picked up the two documents from the table and handed them to Wanda and Pietro respectively, then said:

"Here is some information that I had collected. You can take a look at it first."

After handing the documents to the two impatient individuals, Erin quickly tapped a few times on the tablet computer on the table.

Soon, the two photos were projected onto the screen by the projector.

When the two photos appeared on the screen, Wanda and Pietro, who had just glanced at the documents, were instantly drawn to them.

They looked at the two of them with intent gazes.

Erin didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly to the information displayed on the screen:

"Ayman Vardarika".

"You may have heard of this name. He was the leader of the most active resistance group in northern Sokovia ten years ago, and he was the one who caused the disaster that happened in your home back then."

"The purpose was to attack Naka Umarov, a high-ranking Sokovian government official, who was passing by your home, as a show of force against the then-Sokovian government."

"To ensure the success of the attack, Ayman Vardarika used three missiles, which he had purchased from arms smugglers and which were said to be from Stark Industries."

"Of the three missiles, one hit Nagorno-Karabakh Umarov's convoy directly, killing him and 18 people in several nearby vehicles, including drivers and security personnel, instantly."

"One blast directly collapsed a nearby residential building, killing at least 28 people from 8 families, and countless others were injured in the blast wave."

"And the other dud crashed into your house and killed your parents."

Speaking of it.

Erin trembled involuntarily when he saw Wanda and Pietro's bodies, and a deep, unyielding fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

One can imagine the profound psychological trauma that must have caused young Wanda and her friends to witness their parents being smashed to pieces by a missile.

Even after ten years, the shadow of that time still cannot be erased.

However, just as intense their fear was back then, so too is the hatred and murderous intent that Wanda and Pietro feel now as they stare at the photo of Ayman Vardarica on the screen.

When they were young, they didn't know who the enemy was who killed their parents.

The only thing they could do was transfer their hatred to Stark Industries, the company that manufactured that missile and indirectly caused the deaths of their parents.

And now.

From Erin, they learned for the first time about the murderer who killed their parents.

Looking at the two photos behind Erin, Pietro's eyes were filled with a deep-seated hatred.

On the screen behind Erin, the photo on the left shows Ayman Vardarika standing on a collapsed ruin, excitedly directing something.

Although ten years have passed, Pietro still recognized the ruins in the photo at a glance.

It was the scene he saw after he and Wanda climbed out of the ruins.

On the right side of the screen, in another photo, Ayman Vardarika looks much older, and even the light in his eyes has faded.

Looking at the two clearly different photos on the left and right sides of the screen.

Pietro seemed to realize something, and he said menacingly, "This Ayman Vardarica isn't dead, is he? Tell me, where is this guy? I'm going to... kill him."

"He is indeed not dead..."

Before Erin could finish speaking, upon learning that the murderer who killed her parents was still alive, Wanda's chaotic magic surged wildly due to her intense emotions, causing her to lose control.

A surge of violent, chaotic magic erupted from Wanda's body, instantly shattering the glass on both sides of the room.

Upon seeing this, Erin frowned slightly and instantly appeared behind Wanda.

"Calm down, Wanda."

With a sudden slam of his hands onto Wanda's shoulders, Erin stopped the surge of Wanda's magical power. At the same time, Erin's mental power, like a warm breeze, continuously soothed the turbulent emotions in Wanda's heart.

It's been quite a while.

Wanda calmed down with Erin's help.

However, Wanda had only just calmed down.

"roar!"

A huge green creature roared and crashed through the wall, bursting inside.

"careful."

Seeing the Hulk's ferocious roar, Pietro was startled. He immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed to Erin and Wanda's side, intending to pick them up and get away from this "terrifying" green monster.

appease!

Seeing the group reacting so strongly, Erin helplessly activated his mental field, releasing a mental calming effect indiscriminately.

After temporarily stabilizing their tense bodies, as if a great battle was about to break out, the three of them...

Erin said helplessly, "Wanda, Pietro, and Dr. Banner, all three of you calm down. There's no threat here."

After being comforted by Erin, Dr. Banner, who had calmed down considerably, glanced at the situation in the room and quickly realized that he might have made a mistake. An embarrassed expression appeared on his big green head.

"Feel sorry."

"When I heard the noise just now, I thought someone had come to the lab and caused trouble, so..."

After an awkward laugh, Dr. Banner deactivated his battle mode.

As his body rapidly lost its green color, his special combat suit shrank along with Dr. Banner's body, quickly returning to the size of a normal person.

Upon seeing the raging Hulk, who exuded an extremely dangerous aura, turn around and transform into a refined middle-aged man right in front of them.

A strange sense of disparity kept assaulting Wanda and Pietro's minds.

They stared at each other for a long while.

Only after Erin nodded in agreement did Pietro and Wanda finally lower their guard.

However, after this commotion,

Wanda's out-of-control emotions actually calmed down quite a bit.

Looking at the shattered glass all around, Wanda's face flashed with apology as she said, "Sorry, I got too excited just now."

"I believe anyone would lose control of their emotions upon hearing that the murderer who killed their parents is still at large."

After saying something with an understanding look, Erin looked at the broken glass and experimental equipment all around and said, "However, I still hope you can try to control your emotions. My poor laboratory can't withstand this kind of destruction from me."

Upon hearing this, Wanda apologized again, saying, "I'm sorry, I'll control myself from now on, so please tell me where that bastard who killed my parents is!"

"Wanda..."

Seeing Wanda trembling slightly but still managing to ask Erin where Ayman Vardarika was, Pietro reached out and took his sister's hand.

Feeling the warmth emanating from my palm.

Wanda's trembling gradually subsided.

Dr. Banner, standing nearby, roughly understood what had just happened from those few words.

At this time.

A series of footsteps quickly echoed in the laboratory corridor.

That was the alarm sound from the Miracle Group's security system, which rushed over after hearing the commotion.

The security personnel guarding the laboratory are all elites specially trained by Kiris.

So when they heard the noise, they ran over immediately.

If the AI ​​"Lo" hadn't failed to issue an alert, they would have reacted even more quickly.

Hearing these sounds, Banner scratched his head and said to Erin, "You guys continue, I'll go explain to those people outside."

With that, Dr. Banner retreated through the hole he had created.

They walked toward the security personnel who were rapidly converging on this side.

·······

Upon seeing the security personnel trained by Kiris, they were stopped by Dr. Banner.

Erin fiddled with the projector on the table.

Fortunately, the projector was of high quality; although there were a few cracks in the lens, the projected image was still barely visible.

After patting the projector, Erin said:

"Like I just said, Ayman Vadarika, who ordered the bombing of your neighborhood, is not dead. In fact, he has been doing quite well for the past ten years."

"However, he was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. a month ago, and he is currently being held in a prison in northern Sokovia."

One month ago.

Wanda, whose memory of this timeline was still vivid, changed her expression and said in a deep voice, "You mean Ayman Vardalika was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. a month ago? Could it be that he...?"

Seeing that Wanda seemed to have guessed something, Erin gave her a definite answer:

"You guessed right. He was actually a peripheral member of Hydra. After the Hydra branch in Sokovia was wiped out, he was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. as one of the survivors."

"The information you have was sent to me by a friend of mine from inside S.H.I.E.L.D."

"The record above details the operation that attacked Nagorno-Karabakh Umarov, a high-ranking official in the Sokovian government, which was actually planned by Hydra."

"On the surface, it was a terrorist attack by Ayman Vardarika to demonstrate force against the Sokovian government, but in reality, it was a plan by Hydra to suppress dissenting voices within the Sokovian government and to gain more influence in Sokovia."

Upon hearing this, Wanda and Pietro turned pale and their faces became extremely ugly.

past ten years.

Driven by a desire for revenge, the two of them joined Baron Strucker's ranks and volunteered to become subjects of human experimentation.

Unexpectedly, their enemy was right under their noses.

Doesn't this mean that for the past ten years they have been recognizing their enemy as their father and helping the murderer who was their own parents to act as his accomplices?

They had been thanking Baron Strucker not long ago, but it turns out he was the one who caused their parents' deaths.

This is truly... ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Pietro, his face grim, said coldly, "So, you're saying that the deaths of my parents were orchestrated by that guy Strucker?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Shaking his head, Erin denied, "According to the information I have, although Baron Strucker is the leader of that Hydra organization, he is more interested in various research projects. Hydra has countless black gloves like Ayman Vardalica, and Strucker may not even know who this guy is."

"If he really orchestrated that attack, given Wanda's abilities, he couldn't have kept it a secret from you for so many years, could he?"

"Of course, if you want to find out the truth about what happened back then, asking Ayman Vardarika directly would be a better option."

"I've already asked someone to help. Once things are arranged at the prison, I'll take you to see that guy."

···········

According to the information from Duke.

After telling them the real culprit who killed Wanda's parents.

While they're processing this news...

Erin walked up to Dr. Banner, who had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and said with a smile, "During my trip to Sokovia, I found quite a few good things in the castle left behind by Hydra. I believe you will be interested, Dr. Banner."

With that, Erin pulled Dr. Banner to the second basement level where he usually stayed.

After finding a relatively spacious room.

Erin then took out all the items he had found at the foot of Sokovia Castle from his spatial ring.

After filling the originally empty room.

Erin shrugged and said, "Alright, this place is still a bit too small. I'll find a sparser room later and take out the rest of our things."

"However, there are many good things under Sokovia Castle, and what I moved here is not all of them. After I go up and deal with those guys from the federal government, I will take you and Wanda back to Sokovia."

Looking at the various blueprints, energy weapons, and half-finished robots that Erin had produced, Dr. Banner rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"While I am indeed very interested in these things, Erin, you really should find a few more talented people. Miracle Corporation is getting bigger and bigger, and the various research projects piling up are also increasing. Betty and I alone can't handle it all."

"Moreover, many of these things are not my area of ​​expertise."

"If all else fails, you can bring Tony Stark over."

As he spoke, Dr. Banner helplessly pointed to the few unfinished robots in front of Erin.

Although Dr. Banner has some expertise in the field of mechanics, it has never been his area of ​​expertise.

Compared to myself.

Dr. Banner believed that Tony Stark, known as Iron Man, must know more about these things.

of course.

Given Tony Stark's arrogant nature, he's more likely to look down on these unfinished robots.
