Edson Cobb trembled as he said, "You, you're threatening me! Look, everyone, he's threatening a reporter, someone who dared to expose his evil deeds! And this kind of person calls himself a superhero? Humph, I think so-called superheroes are nothing but this."

But by this time, no one believed Edward Cobb anymore, because Adam had already instructed Athena to upload some of Edward Cobb's criminal records to the internet, letting everyone see the despicable side of this man. However, they were also filled with fear, feeling extremely dangerous in front of Adam Stark, and realizing that they themselves were completely powerless in front of Adam Stark. This made the reporters feel uneasy.

After reading it, Adam said calmly, "Don't worry about me getting my hands on your data. I wouldn't stoop to using your data for anything. Of course, our company will be launching a network firewall called Skynet next month. I can guarantee that this firewall is currently the most robust firewall on Earth. I can accept any challenge from any party. If Skynet is breached by any individual or organization, they will receive a reward of one hundred million US dollars."

After offering a brief explanation, Adam took the opportunity to promote his company's new product and boasted about a $100 million reward. It seemed that Adam had no fear of the murder, which made the reporters wonder if there was something fishy going on. They also remembered that the fake reporter being escorted by Adam's bodyguard seemed to be an FBI agent, leaving them unsure of who to believe.

Just then, a black sedan drove into the area in front of the airport that was surrounded by reporters. A beautiful office lady in a classic black and white uniform stepped out of the car and walked briskly through all the reporters to Adam and Christine, where she struck a beautiful pose.

Upon seeing this, Adam calmly asked, "What is it?"

The woman smiled and said, "Ah, I've heard that Adam Stark doesn't give women the cold shoulder. Did I hear that right?"

Adam gave a sarcastic smile and said, "That's right. I usually don't give women the cold shoulder because I want to sleep with them, but obviously I have a girlfriend now and I won't sleep with strangers anymore. Sorry to disappoint you."

Seeing Adam's attitude, Christine knew he didn't like the woman in front of him, so she quietly stayed with Adam without asking why he said that. Sure enough, upon hearing Adam's words, the woman's smile faded, and she took a flyer from her collar and handed it to Adam.

Adam didn't even look at his bodyguard captain, gesturing for him to take the document, and asked, "What is this?"

The woman seemed a little angry and said, "You're ordered to attend a hearing at the Military Council tomorrow. See you then." With that, she turned and left.

After the woman left, Christine asked, "Do you know each other?"

Adam said calmly, "I know her, but we're not very close. Besides, I knew what she was here for before she even arrived."

Christine nodded and said, "I see. So, will you have any trouble at tomorrow's hearing?"

Adam smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, after seeing me disappear for two days, the people behind the scenes finally couldn't sit still anymore. I knew they would come back for me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I have very strong evidence to prove my innocence."

Ps:

Oh, sorry, I was video chatting with my parents just now, and we talked for a long time. I got pressured again; they've already started arranging blind dates for me. It's such a strange feeling, waaaaaah!

Also, a huge thank you to everyone for the 10,000 Qidian Coins reward! You're so generous, let's be friends!!! Hahaha

Chapter 122 Natasha and Christine

The news that Adam had received the military council leaflet excited all the reporters. They hadn't expected the matter to develop to this point, and they eagerly pressed Adam for his thoughts on the matter.

Adam was thoroughly annoyed by the reporters. He glanced at them and said indifferently, "You want to know my stance on this hearing, right? Fine, I'll tell you, f~~~~uck! This is my answer. You can write this down as fact. Okay, see you at the hearing tomorrow!" With that, he left the airport with Christine.

Meanwhile, Nick Fury and Natasha, who had been waiting for Adam for two days, received a notice that Adam had returned to New York and had received a summons for a hearing initiated by the Military Senate. This made Nick Fury almost curse. He didn't expect that even though he had explained some things to them, they still didn't take him seriously. It seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been keeping a low profile in recent years, which may have made some people forget about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s methods.

Nick Fury said coldly, "It seems some people don't take us seriously. Natasha, now that Adam is back, go and find out more about the aliens. I'm going to Washington now to prevent their conspiracy from succeeding."

Natasha had also overheard Christine and Adam returning together. Although she didn't want to meet Christine, she couldn't keep avoiding her, so she nodded and agreed to Nick Fury's request. Then she drove her car to Adam's villa.

When Natasha arrived at the villa, Adam and Christine were just getting ready to rest. Although they didn't need to adjust to the time difference, they were still preparing for a good rest, as was their custom, and of course, they were also thinking about doing some things that weren't suitable for children. Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, Athena suddenly appeared, ruining the romantic atmosphere.

Adam was somewhat annoyed, but he knew Athena wouldn't appear without reason, so he asked, "Athena, what happened?"

Athena glanced at Christine and said, "Master, Natasha is here again. She says she has something important to discuss with you. She has been waiting for you for two days, so I don't know what to do."

Adam asked in confusion, "What exactly happened? Is it because of that matter?"

Athena nodded and said, "It should be that matter. Natasha and Nick Fury have come several times in the past few days. He should have already set off for Washington."

Adam nodded and said, "I understand. He must know that I was forcibly summoned by the Military Senate. Okay, let Natasha in. Christine and I will go see her together."

Athena nodded and left the room. Christine asked in confusion, "Who is Natasha?" She vaguely sensed something was different.

Adam laughed and recounted what had happened, including the fact that Natasha was his first girlfriend, then smiled easily. He said, "That's how it is. Hehe, I didn't expect to feel so much better after telling you."

After listening, Christine knew that Adam told her what had happened because he truly loved her. So she smiled and said, "Then let's go meet Natasha. I want to see what kind of girl could make you so hung up on her for so many years, Adam."

Adam felt a slight sense of relief seeing the smile on Christine's face. He could tell that the smile wasn't forced or fake, so he kissed Christine, then put on his casual clothes and went with her to the living room, where they met the still beautiful Natasha.

Christine, looking at Natasha, had to admit that the other was indeed very beautiful. If it weren't for the awakening of her divine veins and the resulting sublimation, Christine might have felt a little inferior in front of Natasha. But now, that wouldn't happen, because not only had she undergone a complete sublimation by becoming a child of God, but more importantly, Adam had completely fallen in love with her and even told his parents that he would protect her.

Adam looked at Natasha and smiled slightly, saying, "I knew you would come looking for me. By the way, although you probably already knew, I still want to introduce you to my fiancée, Christine Helios."

Hearing Adam address her as his fiancée, Christine smiled happily and said, "Hello, Miss Natasha, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard Adam mention you before."

Upon hearing this, a subtle hint of pain flashed in Natasha's eyes. She then shook hands with Christine with feigned generosity and said, "Congratulations, Miss Christine. I wish you both happiness."

Christine took Adam's arm and sat down on the sofa with him, smiling, "Thank you. By the way, what brings Natasha here to see Adam?"

After listening, Natasha glanced at Adam and said, "Yes, there are indeed some work-related matters that need to be discussed with Adam." The implication was that he could excuse himself.

But at this moment, Adam said, "Alright, Natasha, I won't hide anything from Christine. You came to ask about aliens, right? I'll tell you straight: aliens do exist. I told you this before because I wanted to remind Nick Fury not to focus on Earth all the time, and not to think about taking down or annexing any organization. Because with our current strength, if aliens suddenly appear and invade Earth, we will have no power to fight back."

Christine, hearing this for the first time, asked with some doubt, "Do aliens really exist?"

Adam smiled and said, "That's right, it does exist, and you've seen it before, haven't you? That's why I asked you to stay."

Upon hearing this, Christine immediately thought of her parents and said, "You mean them? Are they aliens too?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, they are indeed aliens, and one of the more powerful alien groups near Earth."

Natasha was stunned after hearing this and asked incredulously, "What? You've already seen aliens?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. I've seen aliens these past few days. Although we call them gods on Earth, a more scientific way to describe them is as aliens."

Natasha still couldn't believe it and asked, "What evidence do you have? Don't misunderstand, Adam, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter concerns all of humanity, so I have to be careful."

Adam wasn't angry after hearing this, but instead asked, "I think you must have noticed the enormous energy that suddenly erupted on Rhodes Island yesterday."

Natasha nodded and said, "That's right. We had received news before that many supernatural events had occurred in Greece recently, so we sent Coulson to investigate. Yesterday, we received a call from him about the huge energy burst. Could this also have been created by aliens?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. Christine and I were there at the time. The energy from that explosion was used for inter-regional teleportation. You can imagine how much energy that was to be able to directly teleport from the solar system to another galaxy."

Natasha was overwhelmed by the amount of information. She was clearly stunned and didn't know how to express her surprise and fear. Indeed, people are instinctively afraid of the unknown, and this has nothing to do with a person's identity or status.

Adam sighed when he saw Natasha like this. Although Natasha was one of the most outstanding agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., she was still a human being living on Earth. It was only natural that she would feel fear upon hearing such news.

Adam gently patted Natasha's shoulder and said, "Alright, don't worry about Natasha. Now that we've confirmed the existence of aliens, all we need to do is broaden our horizons and meet the challenges of the future. The reason I'm telling you this isn't to instill fear in you about the future, but rather to cultivate a sense of anticipation and hope for it."

Natasha asked helplessly, "But how are we supposed to deal with aliens who can invade other planets, when we haven't even fully explored our solar system?"

Adam replied firmly, "Until humanity matures, I will be humanity's shield. That's what I mean. Please relay this to your director!"

Ps:

Thank you for your support! I will continue to work hard!

Chapter 123 The Hearing Begins

Ps:

First update. Okay, I'll update three chapters today. I won't be able to keep up if I update too many. Sigh, I think I drank too much yesterday and slept until 3 pm.

Hearing Adam's words calmed Natasha down a bit, and she said, "I understand. I will tell Nick the truth."

Adam laughed and said, "Well, I think Nick Fury will know what to do. Oh, right, I almost forgot something. I remember you guys really want to study the Tesseract again. I'd like to give you a friendly reminder: don't conduct any experiments rashly before you know its true power, because according to legend, the Tesseract seems to be related to Odin."

Natasha replied seriously, "I understand. I will inform the director. By the way, before he left, the director told you not to worry about tomorrow's hearing. He will have someone bring the evidence we have to prove your innocence."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Is that so? Actually, I have absolutely no fear of tomorrow's hearing."

Natasha knew that Adam and Nick Fury couldn't reconcile for the time being, so she gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, since the mission is complete, I won't disturb your rest any longer. See you later." With that, she got up and took her leave.

Adam didn't linger with Natasha after seeing her, but instead saw her off with Christine to the door before turning back inside.

Christine said, "Miss Natasha is very beautiful and sexy, what a pity."

Adam laughed and said, "There's nothing to regret. Maybe we were just not meant to be. Besides, I've found someone better and who loves me more now, and that's enough for me."

Christine pouted and said, "Hmph, you've got a sweet tongue. By the way, are you sure there won't be any problems with tomorrow's hearing?"

Adam gave a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't be so easily defeated by them. I've already had Athena investigate the people who want to frame me. After tomorrow's hearing, I'll give these 'friends' who have been concerned about me a proper welcome!"

Christine knew Adam's strength from her father, so she wasn't worried about him being at a disadvantage in combat. Her only concern was whether someone with malicious intent would smear his image, causing all of humanity to hate and distance themselves from him. Hearing Adam say he wasn't afraid at all, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't want to stay in New York waiting for news; it's really making me uncomfortable."

Adam kissed Christine and said, "Okay, I promise you. Tomorrow, let's watch those clowns perform together. I want to see how they'll try to deny it when they see the evidence I've gathered."

When Christine heard that Adam had agreed to come along, she happily kissed him and said, "Hehe, you're so sweet."

Adam chuckled. Then he picked up Christine and said, "Really? Then you'd better repay me!" He then quickly walked towards his bedroom. Since he was no longer sleepy, he might as well enjoy life.

For a moment, the primal symphony of life filled Adam's bedroom. It played for nearly an hour before finally ending with a soaring soprano from Christine. Inside, Adam held Christine's beautiful body, kissed her lips, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, after Christine and Adam had breakfast, Adam put on his superhero suit, then picked up Christine, who was wearing a blue dress, and lifted her off from their home, flying towards the Military Senate in Washington, D.C. He wore his suit not for any other reason than that he was attending a hearing today under his other identity—Superman.

He has always kept his private life and superhero life very separate, because he doesn't want his superhero identity to cause inconvenience to his private life, and he has made this very clear in several interviews.

Around eight o'clock in the morning, the Military Senate office building was packed with people waiting for Adam Stark to appear, hoping to get firsthand information. Of course, some people also hoped to see Adam Stark suffer, because resentment towards the rich exists in every country.

Soon, several black sedans slowly drove up to the front of the building. Several middle-aged or elderly men in gray suits with prosperous faces stepped out of the cars. The sharp-eyed reporters immediately recognized these men as the other main characters present today: the congressmen who accused the superhero Superman of indiscriminately killing people in the street.

An elderly man with gray hair looked at the reporters around him, waved to them, and said, "Hehe, with so many people here today, I think Adam Stark is going to become famous."

A middle-aged man next to him sneered after hearing this, saying, "Heh, he's really going to be famous today, but it'll be a bad one! And a stain that he can never wash away for the rest of his life!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, if we don't show them some respect, they'll really think they're superheroes and can look down on us. Hmph, he's forgotten that it's still us who control this world!"

Just then, another person who looked younger than them frowned and said, "We shouldn't be too happy yet, because we don't know what tricks the other side has up their sleeve. We need to be fully prepared. Although we have that mysterious ally helping us this time, I don't think Adam Stark will be captured so easily."

The second middle-aged man who spoke sneered and said, "Alright, Blair, you're overthinking it. Although everyone says Adam Stark is a genius and an outstanding inventor, we're not so easy to deal with. Hmph, having reached our current position, do you think we would be so easily underestimated?"

Blair was about to say something when the first old man interrupted him, saying, "Alright, Blair, there's no turning back now. Either we're ruined today, or this arrogant Adam Stark ruins us and kicks us out of America! Hmph, he thinks he can look down on us just because he has some ability. I'll see just how powerful he really is!"

Blair opened his mouth after hearing this, sighed softly, and secretly decided not to stand on the same side as these people anymore. People who are smug and think they have victory in their grasp without even seeing what the opponent looks like are not qualified partners. Such people will affect his future sooner or later.

Just as this congressman named Blair was thinking about how to withdraw from the incident, a staff member quietly came up to him and said a few words, which immediately made his eyes light up and a smile appeared on his lips. He then walked into the building with the other congressmen.

Time passed slowly, and more and more people arrived at the hearing. Unfortunately, Adam Stark was still nowhere to be seen, which puzzled some people, while others began to maliciously speculate that Adam Stark was not coming because he was afraid.

One reporter sneered, "Looks like this so-called Superman is scared too. Humph, he's really afraid of being discovered."

Upon hearing the reporter's words, a young female reporter immediately retorted unhappily, "Do you even have any journalistic ethics? Humph, there's still plenty of time. I believe Adam is innocent, he'll be here soon, I believe him."

The reporter scoffed and said, "Oh, so you're a die-hard Adam Stark fan? Humph, it's because of people like you that that guy gets more and more arrogant, daring to kill people in the street. Humph, how could someone like that possibly be qualified to be called a superhero?"

How could a newly hired female reporter possibly be a match for such a veteran reporter? After a few words, she was already furious, but she still couldn't say a word, which made her even angrier and wishing she could bite the despicable guy in front of her a few times.

Just then, a very calm voice came from above: "The matter of whether I killed someone in the street is still unresolved. Heh, how can you be so sure? Is it because your old friend remembers? Or is it because you were bribed by some guys for a hundred thousand dollars?"

After everyone heard the sound from above, they looked up and immediately saw Adam Stark slowly descending with Christine in his arms. No, since he had already put on his suit, he could only be called Superman. He wasn't afraid; he actually dared to attend this hearing. Everyone knew what this meant. It meant that Adam Stark, no, Superman, had absolute confidence in himself and could convince everyone that he hadn't killed anyone and that he was innocent!
