In the Marvel universe, you start with a colored Hextech item.

New York in the early morning had a false sense of tranquility.

Sitting in the car, Lynn was still two blocks away from the building when the noise of people came through the car window.

"Something's not right." Frank gripped the steering wheel tighter.

Lynn didn't speak, but just narrowed his eyes slightly. The car turned the corner, and the scene before them suddenly unfolded.

People were everywhere.

Reporters, passersby, and onlookers; several news channel broadcast vans were parked on the roadside with their antennas erected high.

Fragmented whispers drifted in through the car window.

"A ruthless executioner..."

"Illegal seizure... Kingpin's cause of death remains a mystery..."

"The new rule on this street is: don't go near it..."

Lynn curled her lips.

public opinion?

The thought clearly surfaced in my mind. Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

[Ding! Host's public profile has greatly increased! The reputation of "Master of Fisk Tower" is spreading widely.]

Current Reputation: 2411 (+700)

Wow, there's an unexpected bonus!

Lynn immediately shook his head and focused his attention on the important matter at hand.

This doesn't seem like Fury's doing. If S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to manipulate public opinion, they could have done so the day Kingpin died. Why wait until now?

Moreover, such a crude technique doesn't fit the style of that one-eyed, bald, cunning old man.

So who could it be?

The Hand has always operated in the shadows, which doesn't seem like it.

Roxon? They're better at buying off lawmakers than manipulating the media. Or... is there a new force entering the New York scene?

Lynn had no idea what to do for a moment, so she opened the door and got out of the car.

"Let's go in together."

His overly calm demeanor and Frank's indifferent gaze caused the crowd to instinctively back away.

After clearing a path, the reporters, realizing what was happening, frantically pointed their cameras at them.

"Was Kingpin's death related to you...?"

"Rumors are circulating that illegal human experiments are being conducted in the basement of the building..."

Problems came like bullets.

Lynn didn't stop walking, and didn't even glance at the reporters.

However, just as he stepped onto the steps, several daring reporters attempted to break through the gaps and shove microphones in his face.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion came from overhead.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

The glass on the top floor of the Fisker Tower looked as if it had been ripped open, with countless fragments refracting blinding light as they plummeted down at breakneck speed.

At the center of the fragment, two deep purple, gem-like "black dots" fell straight down.

"Get out of the way!" someone cried out.

The crowd erupted, scattering in terror. Cameras were knocked over, and reporters screamed and fell to the ground.

next second.

Boom! Boom!

A heavy, muffled thud exploded almost simultaneously, shaking the ground.

The two "black dots" were revealed to be real.

A creature whose body is made of deep purple crystals, with slender limbs and curved horns on its head that gleam with a metallic sheen.

Wardfa!

Lynn's eye twitched suddenly.

Today is the second day. The portal hatched on its own, and the two Void Worms broke through the window and came out.

Didn't wait for him to think about it.

The two insects that were in the pit a second ago have now transformed into two purple shadows, appearing in front of him from the left and right.

This is... protecting its master?

The entire room fell silent.

Even those who were fleeing stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at this surreal scene.

Frank's hand was already on the gun handle. He didn't ask, "What is this?" but the question in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Lynn: ...

Damn it!

Now they're truly famous.

He might be known throughout New York, and even the world.

He is not only the mysterious man who killed Kingpin, but also a newly emerging terrorist in New York who is "an outlaw who raises alien creatures".

Several reporters hiding in the distance trembled as they raised their cameras, their lenses fixed on Lynn and the two "pets" at his feet.

The sound of the camera shutter was particularly jarring in the silence.

"Should we get rid of all the cameras?" Frank asked in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the still-flickering lights.

Lynn was silent for two seconds, then slowly shook his head.

"Sigh... No need. I've seen everything I needed to see."

He just feels helpless right now.

Why does this feel like it's heading towards a New York version of Homelander?

……

Not long after.

The once deserted Fisker Building has become incredibly bustling.

On both sides of the corridor, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and military personnel stood in clear distinction, with two familiar faces standing at the front of the S.H.I.E.L.D. line.

Upon seeing Lynn, Natasha shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Patton remained expressionless, but his bow grip indicated a ready-to-fire stance.

Lynn simply responded with a smile.

……

In the top-floor office, Lynn sat in the seat that Kingpin had once occupied, with his feet propped up on the desk.

The void rift hadn't opened since he left yesterday, but the two void worms were squatting on either side of his chair.

There were two people opposite.

On one side was Fury, with several documents spread out in front of him, but his gaze kept drifting towards the two eerie, luminous alien creatures.

It seems like they are assessing and calculating.

On the other side was an elderly man, General Ross, with gray hair and a resolute face, dressed in a crisp army uniform.

The two not only found themselves in an unspoken standoff, but were also secretly wary of the man opposite them, and...

The creatures around him seemed to be from another planet.

Lynn was surprised that Ross would come.

He knew this politician and general.

In the comics, due to his daughter's tragedy, he was manipulated by Murdoch and the big boss, and injected with the Hulk serum to become Red Hulk.

However, based on current observations... we haven't reached that stage yet.

But it also reminded Lynn that Ross hadn't caught Banner yet, so maybe he should go and look for him in advance?

"You two," Lynn broke the silence first, his voice carrying just the right amount of helplessness.

"Such a big entourage coming to my territory... Is there something you need? If it's a matter of property management fees, I can pay the outstanding amount."

Ross had sharp eyes and a serious expression.

"Mr. Lynn, this is no joke."

"Since you arrived in New York, violent incidents in the city have increased by 300%!"

"Kingpin's death, leading to a power vacuum and a chain of chaos... you've really made a big fuss."

"And now..."

He pointed to the creature beneath Lynn.

"You're displaying a non-Earth species in public; you're not trying to say it's your pet dog, are you? It fell 300 meters from a height and emerged unscathed, its landing energy equivalent to a lightweight missile!"

"As for Frank, just a week ago he was a rigorously trained adult, but now his boxing power is estimated to be more than three times the theoretical limit of human strength!"

Ross leaned forward slightly, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Your mastery of biotechnology and other special abilities has crossed the red line of the Agreement on the Control of Unconventional Weapons!"

"This is not a street fight, Mr. Lynn."

"This is a loss of control over strategic technology assets!"

Ross astutely pointed out that Lynn is currently the greatest danger to New York and even America.

He wants to suppress them, label them, and seize absolute initiative in the ensuing dialogue!
