Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Dulles, having lost several cases in court, was furious and determined not to give up.

After all, everyone on Earth knows that it was he who personally signed the peace agreement with the Kryptonians.

The land of Xuyang Villa was a "gift" he personally handed over, and he should be responsible for taking it back.

At 2:00 PM on the third day, a mushroom bomb tore through the sky, trailing a fiery white tail, and headed straight for Xuyang Villa.

Zhong Guohong didn't even lift his eyelids. With a casual wave of his hand, a door opened in the void—the mushroom bomb returned along its original path.

A thunderclap boomed, the earth churned, and a giant gray-white mushroom burst forth in a furious burst into the sky.

The instigator vanished without a trace, and he didn't even flinch at the passersby who were affected.

Return the bullet to where it came from—this is called returning it to its rightful owner, not revenge, but following the rules.

Dulles launched three more attacks, each time suffering heavy losses and failing to even reach the manor walls.

Public opinion was outraged, and Congress was furious. He was dismissed from his post and investigated that same day, and sentenced to more than 5,000 years in prison.

In the Marvel universe, the United States does not have the death penalty, and imprisonment periods can be accumulated indefinitely.

Ordinary people don't live past a hundred years, but there are countless criminals sentenced to hundreds or even thousands of years in prison.

How long will Dulles be imprisoned? Nobody knows for sure—he might be handcuffed this morning and flown away by helicopter tomorrow night.

Even Amanda Waller, who heads the Sky Eye Society, can organize death row inmates into small teams and send them on missions.

There are many ways to get out of prison: some people break out of prison, some take orders to buy their release, some pay exorbitant bail, and some fake illness to transfer to another hospital for "medical treatment".

The mushroom bombs failed to bring down Xuyang Manor, but the war of words truly began.

The upgraded nanobot bombs became irrefutable evidence of Chung Kwok-hung's secret collusion with Hydra.

The Eiffel Tower collapsed with a deafening roar; the culprit was none other than the nanobot bombs dropped by the Cobra organization.

Even after improvements and enhancements, it is still a nanobot bomb at its core.

Cobra is a branch of Hydra, and Chung Kwok-hung, who wields the same weapon, is naturally placed in the position of a Hydra member—the logic is airtight and there is no flaw in it!

Under pressure, Chung Kwok-hung had no choice but to hold a press conference.

"Mr. Chung, are you really a member of Hydra?"

"No. I have never had any dealings with Hydra."

"Then how come you have nanobot bombs?"

"The number of superhumans has surged, and Xuyang Manor was previously attacked by Hydra... The bomb I used looks the same as the one used by Cobra, but its internal structure, triggering mechanism, and residual traces are all different."

"Mr. Chung, what evidence do you have to prove your innocence?"

"If I were truly innocent, I have nothing to fear. If I were a Hydra agent, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have been wiped out long ago."

Enraged, Chung Kuo-hung immediately released all the classified files of Project Starfish and Project Ghost—videos, logs, and experimental footage—to the public.

After reviewing the materials and watching the footage, the reporters clenched their fists and their eyes reddened.

The little-known Starfish Project secretly tested explosives on the island of Cotomalta, where large numbers of civilians were forcibly dragged into the laboratory and turned into live test subjects.

People watching the live broadcast suddenly caught a glimpse of their long-lost relatives on camera, burst into tears, and then slammed their fists on the table.

The revelation of details about Project Ghost sparked widespread public outrage.

"Some people shout about justice, but behind the scenes they're doing this kind of dirty work..." Chung Kwok-hung's voice suddenly rose, "If I'm Hydra, then what kind of people are the departments that lead Project Starfish and Project Ghost?"

Ross, Betty's father and Banner's father-in-law, gritted his teeth and never revealed the giant experiments.

Still furious, Chung Kwok-hung took the opportunity to expose the shady dealings of the Sky Eye Association—its financial chains, money laundering channels, and illegal surveillance activities were all laid bare.

In less than two hours, the entire internet was in an uproar.

At 8 p.m. that evening, Nick Fury personally came to the door.

"Nick, just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush," Chung Kwok-hung said bluntly.

"Take a look at this first." Nick took out his phone and played a video of the signing of the peace agreement.

"I already knew that," Chung Kwok-hung said indifferently.

If Nick hadn't come in person, he wouldn't have let anyone in at all—Dulles had fired a mushroom bomb at Sunrise Manor, after which all aircraft within 5,000 meters of the manor were placed on high alert; those that ignored the warnings were shot down.

Hydra's lair is filled with anti-aircraft missiles, and now Xuyang Manor is a fortress he built himself, with a few defense systems installed, and no one has the right to interfere.

"Zhong, these are the final terms offered by the authorities." Nick handed over a document.

Chung Kwok-hung quickly finished scanning the area and scoffed, "You think I'd sign? I bought this land with my own money before the Kryptonians came... Now you want me to nod my head and admit it? Dream on."

Zhong Guohong, a figure in the world of American variety shows, clearly states his American citizenship on his ID card, yet he is kicked aside by his motherland.

He held the land deed for Xuyang Villa, paid taxes every year, and it was written in black and white that he was the owner.

His land was transferred to the Kryptonians by the government with a single document, without him receiving a single penny in compensation.

Before the Kryptonians arrived, he legally owned all the rights to use it.

The territory he reclaimed from the Kryptonians, whether judged by law, reason, or blood and sweat, belongs solely to him.

Nick Fury, disguised as an official, came as a lobbyist, persuading him to go through the motions of "nominal transfer to the public"—he would still manage the resort, but wouldn't pay a single penny in taxes. How could Chung Kwok-hung agree?

Nominally turning it over to the public is like planting a landmine in your own yard; you never know when it will explode and shatter you to pieces.

There are no saints in S.H.I.E.L.D., but compared to others, Phil Coulson at least takes responsibility for his subordinates and leaves them a way out.

Chung Kwok-hung remained calm and composed. While S.H.I.E.L.D. outwardly carried the banner of protecting Earth, they secretly meddled in matters completely unrelated to safeguarding the planet...

In comparison, S.H.I.E.L.D. is more discreet and uses more restrained methods than the Sentinel Service or the Sky Eye.

Nick, having failed in his mission, calmly walked out of Xuyang Manor.

Before he even stepped into the villa, he already knew the answer—having led S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, he was quick-witted and steady-minded.

Chung Kwok-hung didn't lay a finger on Dulles or Amanda. Even if he could eliminate them silently, it would attract layers of investigation and bring trouble for nothing.

These two held high positions of power, but what Zhong Guohong really cared about was not their titles, but that they posed no threat whatsoever.

In his eyes, the two were nothing but dust and dirt, incapable of causing the slightest trouble; sparing their lives would only make him appear magnanimous.

After "Project Starfish" was leaked, Amanda quickly reactivated the "Suicide Squad" and headed straight for Cotomalta Island, burning all the physical evidence.

After burning the videos, they came up with another explanation: those videos were all live-action blockbusters filmed by Xuyang Film and Television Company.

With their all-powerful connections, even if they can't clear their names of suspicion, they can still stir up trouble and make things even more chaotic.

Subsequently, Tony, Rogers, Charles, and others came to the door one after another, ostensibly to mediate, but in reality, each had their own agenda.
