Just then, Athena suddenly spoke up, saying, "Master, I discovered that you were secretly photographed just now. Hehe, it seems someone is trying to smear you."
Adam sneered and threw the corpse in his hand to the ground, saying, "It really was a trap, huh? But I thought they would fight me head-on. I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems I was a bit too hasty."
Athena nodded and said, "So what do we do now? I think Master will receive the court summons soon."
Adam looked at the mocking police and the excited reporters in the distance and said, "It seems we can't continue the investigation today. However, the fox's tail has already been revealed. With a thorough investigation, we can trace back to the mysterious person who left me the message yesterday and the organization behind him!"
Adam knew that such a small frame-up would not work on him at all, because he knew that it was all a trap set by his enemies. Last night, he received a letter whose origin could not be traced. It said, "Your parents' deaths are related to Hydra. Be careful. Hydra has prepared a conspiracy for you."
Therefore, Adam deliberately acted irritably for a few days to let the people hiding in the shadows know that he really hated Hydra because of that letter, and that if they found anything related to Hydra, he would definitely do something excessive.
Adam sensed several gazes watching him from behind, but pretended not to notice and flew away. He had already laid the bait and just needed to wait quietly for the enemy to appear. Of course, it didn't matter if the enemy didn't show up in the end, because Adam's mind wasn't on these local forces and organizations on Earth. He had a premonition that aliens were about to invade Earth.
After Adam flew away, a figure emerged from a stairwell in the distance, picked up a communicator, and whispered a report on the situation.
"Oh ha ha, I didn't expect him to actually fall for it. I didn't expect that a little trick could fool that genius Adam Stark. Heh, as expected, his parents are his weakness." Soon, the voice of Lady Viper came through the communicator.
The man asked in a low voice, "Madam, what should we do next?"
Madam Viper said calmly, "Of course, we'll make things bigger. I need to see the true faces of these so-called superheroes in tomorrow's newspapers. If you do a good job of this, I'll make you a core member of our organization!"
The man said in a slightly grateful voice, "Thank you so much, Madam. It is our honor to serve the organization. How could I possibly covet something that doesn't belong to me?"
Lady Viper smiled slightly and said, "Alright, you'll get your share of the rewards if you do what I asked you to do well. That's all." Then she hung up.
Looking at the disconnected phone, he sneered and took out another communicator from his pocket, saying, "Reporting to the leader, the little snake has been captured. The plan is proceeding very smoothly, and she hasn't noticed anything amiss."
A very calm voice came from the communicator: "Okay, I understand. Proceed to step two!" Then the call ended.
Of course, Adam Stark knew nothing about these conspiracies and schemes, but even if he did, he would make sure that those who used him as a pawn knew that he, Adam Stark, was not a very obedient pawn. Those who wanted to use him to kill others should beware of Adam Stark's double-edged sword!
Meanwhile, when Adam returned to his company, he found a group of reporters gathered at the entrance, eager to interview him. However, the Dawn Building, where Dawn Corporation was located, was not a place anyone could enter at will. So these so-called uncrowned kings were stopped at the door by bodyguards dressed in black suits with sashes on their waists. This was because when Adam flew into his office through the window, he didn't encounter any reporters at all.
Adam had just sat down when his assistant rushed in, flustered, and said, "Chairman, something terrible has happened! We just received a notice from the court that you must attend the hearing tomorrow at noon. What happened?"
...
Chapter 117 Important News
Ps:
Thank you for your support and for the monthly tickets! I will try my best to write each chapter well!
When Adam saw his assistant walk in with a panicked look on her face, he said calmly, "Calm down, Susan. You are my assistant, Adam Stark. You can't panic over something like this, or I might really have to consider replacing you."
Susan pouted and said, "I'm worried about you! And I'm increasingly reluctant to stay here with you. Every day I get so many calls asking about your hobbies and interests. When did I become a superhero's personal assistant? You have to give me a raise!"
Adam laughed and said, "Hehe, you little scatterbrain. Alright, when you get back, tell them not to be swayed by any outside news. Of course, you can also take this opportunity to see how many people in this company are waiting for me to suffer. If this matter is handled well, I will give you a raise."
Susan shook her head and said, "Hehe, I was just joking. Okay, Adam, I'm going out now. Oh, and I wanted to say, I believe in you. You're not like what people are saying. Good luck!" She then walked out.
Adam smiled after hearing this. He liked this somewhat absent-minded assistant. Of course, this liking was the kind of liking an older brother has for his younger sister. Therefore, even though Susan sometimes made mistakes or was absent-minded, Adam would just pretend not to see them. After all, Susan wasn't his only assistant. If it was an important matter, he would leave it to the other assistants. As for Susan, he would just treat her as the company's mascot.
Just then, Adam's phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was Natasha calling. Adam answered the phone calmly.
Natasha was delighted to see Adam answer her call and asked, "Adam, are you alright?"
After hearing this, Adam asked, "What is it? Do you want to know what happened today?"
Natasha shook her head. She said, "No, we've investigated this matter and found some clues. We know it's a little trick targeting you. Besides Hydra, we've also learned that some people in the Pentagon seem to be involved. You need to be careful lately."
Adam paused for a moment, then said, "Oh? Those guys from the Pentagon got involved too? Heh, is it because of what happened last time?"
Natasha continued, "As for the reason, I haven't found it yet, but we have obtained some evidence that could exonerate you, but you won't let me see it. You said you need to see him in person; he needs to discuss some things with you face to face."
After hearing this, Yad said, "Thank you for your kindness. Also, tell that one-eyed man, f*** you!"
Natasha was taken aback upon hearing this, then said worriedly, "Don't do that, Adam. Although Nick may be unscrupulous in his actions, his intentions are good. Moreover, this matter has a significant impact on you, and I don't want you to lose this opportunity because of impulsiveness."
Adam sneered and said, "Alright, Natasha. I've already given you enough face. Don't speak up for that guy anymore. I don't want to hear about this now. Hmm. Here's a free piece of information for you: we're not alone in this universe! As for evidence, hmph. There's no evidence I can't find. Don't forget, I personally designed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defenses." He then hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, at a S.H.I.E.L.D. location, Natasha was startled upon hearing Adam's words and anxiously asked, "What did you mean by that? Adam, Adam, damn it, he hung up."
Standing beside her was Maria Hill. Seeing Natasha's expression, a sudden feeling of unease welled up inside her, and she quickly asked, "Natasha, what happened? What did Adam say?"
Natasha said with a serious expression, "I've noticed that Adam doesn't care about the charges anymore. Maybe he has his own way of dealing with it. And he just told me that we're not alone in this universe. That made me feel uneasy, but just as I was about to ask him about it, Adam hung up the phone."
After hearing this, Maria Hill asked, "What does this mean? Could it be...?"
Natasha continued, "Aliens really do exist! It's very likely this one. Damn it, since Adam said so, he must have already made contact with extraterrestrial life. I didn't expect aliens to actually exist. This is a heavy matter. I think we should just go find Nick directly."
Maria Hill nodded and said, "That's right. If they really are aliens, then we can shut up those who are clamoring for the disbandment of S.H.I.E.L.D., and better use our power to protect humanity, instead of becoming the lackeys of those in power like we are now. I've had enough of this kind of life."
Natasha replied, "That's right. We can't continue this civil war any longer. It's time for S.H.I.E.L.D. to truly fulfill its role. I think Adam told me this just now so that we at S.H.I.E.L.D. could give humanity some time to adapt to the changing times. Let's go see Nick." She then walked with Maria Hill to Nick Fury's office.
When they knocked and went in, Nick Fury was yelling at an agent, apparently because the agent couldn't complete the task Nick had assigned him.
Nick Fury asked with a grim face, "How did you two get in here? What happened? Did Adam Stark not agree to meet with me?"
Natasha nodded and said, "That's right, he didn't agree to your request. It seems he might have his own methods. Don't forget that Adam personally designed and debugged the Aegis system we are currently using."
Nick Fury sneered, "If he thinks that way, he's really mistaken. Ever since I found out he was Shadow, I've changed the entire design of Aegis. And for some important data, we've adopted a more primitive way of storing it. Although this is more troublesome for us, it prevents others from hacking into our system again and stealing the most important information."
Seeing that the two were getting further and further off-topic, Maria Hill spoke up, "Sir, we're not here for that. We have some very important information that requires your decision!"
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury knew that things might be very serious, so he said to the agent who had been waiting for orders, "Alright, you go out immediately and find out the identities of the newly appeared Punisher and Night Owl. See if Frank Cassel has returned. Also, call Coulson over after you get out."
The agent, relieved to finally be able to leave, said, "Yes, I will definitely complete the mission this time!" and then left Nick Fury's office.
After the man walked away, Nick Fury asked, "Tell me, what happened that made you all so panicked?"
He could tell at a glance that the two women in front of him seemed to be in a rather unsettled mood. He knew that if these two top-notch agents could affect their mental fortitude, then the information he was about to learn must be extraordinary.
"When Adam hung up the phone just now, he said, 'We are not alone in the universe!' I think you understand what that means."
Natasha's casual remark sent Nick Fury's emotions soaring into his throat.
He jumped to his feet and asked, "What? Adam Stark really said that? Tell me the details!"
After listening, Natasha calmly recounted every word Adam had just said, including the one that started with the letter F. Of course, this was intentional on Natasha's part; she just wanted to annoy her superior by saying it on purpose.
However, Nick Fury was no longer able to be angry, because if this news were true, he couldn't quite grasp the extent of the impact it would have on Earth. Furthermore, he couldn't be certain what these aliens' attitude towards humans was. Of course, all of this depended on Adam Stark's motives and the accuracy of his statement—was he serious or just saying it deliberately to get revenge? For a moment, Nick Fury was hesitant to draw any conclusions.
Chapter 118 Reunion with the Sun God and His Wife
Nick Fury hesitated to make a decision. After all, he didn't know Adam Stark very well; his understanding of him came mostly from intelligence reports. However, the fact that Adam Stark could impersonate both himself and another superhero without anyone noticing made Fury realize his own lack of knowledge about Stark, making it difficult to formulate a plan.
Natasha, noticing Nick Fury's furrowed brow, asked, "What should we do now? Do we need to make contact with Adam?"
After hearing this, Nick Fury said, "This matter is quite important, as it concerns the safety of the planet we are on, so let me go to him personally this time."
After hearing this, Natasha said, "You're going to go find him yourself? But do you think he'll even meet with you?"
Nick Fury said calmly, "That's my business. Alright, this is a special case. Don't tell anyone except yourselves. I'm afraid some people might take advantage of the situation."
Maria Hill nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. We know what's important."
Nick Fury nodded and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door. After receiving permission from Nick Fury, Phil Coulson walked in with a smile, only to find the person inside looking worried, which startled him.
"Sir, what happened?" He couldn't help but ask. He wasn't usually a very curious person, but something that could make the three most important people in S.H.I.E.L.D. so worried must be something serious, so he couldn't help but ask.
Nick Fury said calmly, "This is a top-secret matter, Coulson. I originally sent you here to make contact with Adam Stark, but it seems I'll have to go myself this time. Now that you're here, let's begin investigating the truth behind the series of supernatural events that have occurred in Greece."
Natasha asked in confusion, "Greece? What happened there?"
Nick Fury explained, "I received word this morning that some supernatural events have recently occurred in Athens and Rhodes. But we don't know the specifics. Now that you're here, Coulson, go and investigate."
Phil Coulson remained silent after hearing that it was top secret. He felt he had no right to know these things, so when he heard that Nick Fury had assigned him a new task, he breathed a sigh of relief and left Nick Fury's office.
After reading it, Nick Fury said, "Maria, I'll leave this to you. Natasha and I will go find Adam Stark; we need to find out about the aliens."
Natasha nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go with you." She knew things were serious, so she didn't argue with Nick Fury and agreed to his order to go find Adam.
"Also," Nick Fury was about to leave when he remembered something and immediately said to Maria Hill, "Have our people warn those reporters. It's best to suppress today's news for now. If the alien thing is true, you take the AD-5 data to the president yourself, and I'll call you then."
Maria Hill nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Nick Fury nodded and left the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with Natasha. They then took a helicopter to the New York Military District, intending to find Adam Stark from there. However, they were unaware that Adam was no longer in New York, or even the United States, as he noticed it was getting late. So, he told Susan and Tony he was going to pick up Christine and then left the United States.
Adam flew swiftly and finally arrived at the Greek island of Rhodes before nightfall. Guided by the ring given to him by Helios, he found the Temple of Apollo. Adam had barely landed when he was snatched away by a beam of light.
Adam was enveloped in a beam of light, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the Temple of the Sun. There he saw Sur, dressed in an ancient Greek-style dress, smiling at him.
Adam greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Sur, where are Helios and Christine?"
Suer smiled slightly and said, "How come you can't bear to part with Christine after only a week? Well, those two are over there. Helios is testing Christine. I sensed you were here, so I came to pick you up. Let's go and see. I think you'll be very surprised." After saying that, he teleported with Adam to a building that looked like an ancient Roman Colosseum.
The scene in the arena indeed surprised Adam, because Christine was no longer the one he knew before. It wasn't that Christine's appearance had changed, but that her temperament was no longer that of a demure young woman. Instead, she was a female warrior who had truly experienced life-or-death battles.
Christine was clad in exquisite golden armor that tightly encased her voluptuous figure, with a white cloak behind her and a divine sword that shimmered with the light of the sun in her hand. Her golden hair, as bright as sunlight, was braided, which did not hinder her combat prowess in the slightest.
If Christine's current demeanor and confusion surprised Adam, then the fighting prowess she displayed completely shocked him. Truly worthy of being called a divine child! Although she had only awakened a week ago, Christine's current fighting strength was already no less than Adam's strength after his first awakening.
Seeing the surprise in Adam's eyes, Sue smiled and asked, "How is it? Can you sense the change in Christine?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, I can feel it. It's even more powerful than when I first appeared before the people. It truly lives up to its reputation as the Son of God."
Hearing Adam's words, he said, "Don't be surprised. After all, Christine is the result of the combined efforts of our Norse pantheon and their Greek pantheon, possessing the abilities and strengths of both sides. If we can't acquire such strength within a week, we might as well not have come to Earth."
After hearing this, Adam witnessed the so-called gods once again. Although Sue and Helios came to Earth to find their daughter, their real purpose was probably to find an heir for themselves. If Christine didn't perform well, she might have her memories erased by these two gods. However, this was actually for Christine's own good. After all, if Christine didn't have the qualifications to enter such a dangerous world and was forcibly dragged in by the two of them, she would definitely die in such a world full of the law of the jungle.
Although Adam was somewhat displeased, he understood that these two were gods from Mount Olympus and Asgard. After all, with their long lives, what they had in abundance was offspring, and what they lacked most was an heir.
Suer seemed to have seen through Adam's thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted, able to analyze so many things from just one sentence I said."
Adam knew that the reason the other person could guess his thoughts was because she was knowledgeable, not because she possessed any magic like mind-reading. Therefore, he was not afraid or panicked. He just smiled and stared at Christine quietly, his eyes full of worry and love.
As a result, Suer became more and more satisfied with Adam, proving the saying that a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him.
At this moment, the situation finally changed. In order not to distract Christine, Sue had already hidden herself and Adam, so she did not know that Adam was watching from the side. Therefore, under the influence of her belligerent nature that had been aroused over the past week, Christine fought more and more bravely and fought Helios with great skill, of course, only when Helios suppressed his power.
Christine gave a soft shout, her metal armor clicking as she wielded her sword with ferocious skill. Finding an opening in Helios's defenses, she ruthlessly struck at his weakest point. Helios smiled slightly and quickly changed his move, using his spear to hook Christine's sword before gently pulling it away.
Helios said calmly, "You lost. As a warrior, you couldn't even protect the sword in your hand. That's a shameful thing."
To everyone's surprise, Christine smiled slightly and said, "Unfortunately, I am not just a warrior! Chains of Light!" With that, she waved her hands, and a chain of light clattered and bound Helios tightly.
