Superman Marvel Adventures

Everyone was excited by Adam's words. It seemed Adam truly had immense confidence in himself. And what had he just said? This guy had actually been paid to smear Adam! Just yesterday, Adam exposed a fake reporter at the airport, and now there's this bribery scandal involving a reporter? There's definitely something fishy going on in this whole thing!

A reporter from an American daily newspaper asked Adam at lightning speed, "Mr. Superman, this is the second time someone has deliberately smeared you. What do you think about this? What kind of forces or organizations do you think are behind this?"

Adam laughed after hearing this, "The saying 'fame brings trouble' seems to refer to entertainment stars, but I never thought I would experience it myself today. However, this also reminds me to be wary of those who want to harm me in secret. But don't worry, I will not be defeated by conspiracies and tricks."

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Superman, nobody wants to believe you would kill someone on the street, but the video clearly shows that the robber was scared to death by your overly aggressive actions, and we received news today that most of the other robbers were seriously injured. How do you explain this?"

Adam shook his head after reading it and said, "I think I will present strong evidence to refute this at the hearing later, so let me keep it a little mysterious for now, okay?"

At this moment, a reporter asked Christine, "Ms. Christine, there are rumors that Mr. Superman is upset because of your disappearance and is deliberately taking his anger out on these robbers. What do you think of this? Also, where have you been for the past week? Is it because of problems in your relationship that Mr. Superman is so agitated, leading to this tragedy?"

Christine was immediately angered upon hearing this, and said, "I don't know who spread these rumors, but I can tell you very seriously that Adam and I have not had any problems; on the contrary, we have gotten even closer. As for those who say that Adam committed murder, I believe Adam will produce strong evidence to refute them."

The reporter persisted, asking, "Ms. Christine, you haven't answered my question yet. Where have you been this past week? Could we assume that because of problems in your relationship, Mr. Superman accidentally killed someone in a fit of anger, but fearing legal repercussions, he specifically asked you to come forward and refute this claim?"

Christine immediately became furious and said, "Are you even listening to me? I've already said that there's nothing wrong with our relationship. As for where I went, that's my private matter and I don't need to tell you!"

Adam, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up: "Alright, gentlemen. It's getting late. I will have strong evidence to refute all the doubts. I think they must be getting impatient. Let's go in too."

The reporter shouted, "Superman, ptooey Adam Stark, don't think you can get away with this! Sure, you're incredibly strong. But you can't fight against the state, you murderer!"

Adam suddenly stopped, turned to look at the reporter, and said calmly, "Although I don't know what your master instructed you, I still have to say that I really dislike people like you. Go back and tell your master that I am very grateful for their care of me!" After saying that, he walked into the building without looking back.

When Adam arrived, Athena had already thoroughly investigated everyone there and discovered that many of the journalists were suspicious, some even being Hydra's peripheral members. This further convinced him that this incident was Hydra's provocation, probably because he had thwarted their plans in Africa last time. However, Adam wasn't afraid; it would be a good opportunity for Christine to participate in real combat as well.

When Adam led Christine inside, the hearing hall was already full of people, including Adam's brother Tony Stark and his secretary Pepper Potts. Tony looked relaxed, clearly showing his complete trust in his brother.

Adam smiled slightly after reading it, went to Tony's side and hugged him, saying, "Why are you here?"

Tony shrugged and said, "You've been through something like this, and it's all because of me, how could I not come?"

Adam replied, "Heh, you really didn't need to come. You'd be better off going back to drink and have fun with the beautiful women instead of coming here for such a boring hearing."

Tony laughed and said, "Although I trust you 100%, I'm still a little worried before I see the results. So, since I was free, I came to see what these people are up to."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, then you'd better watch out. I've prepared a lot of fun things for you today, things that will really broaden your horizons!"

Tony's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Great! I'm really looking forward to it."

He knew that although his brother had become a superhero, he still had a vengeful nature and would never let anyone who dared to mess with him get away with it. So Tony breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing this, and then looked forward to what was about to happen.

At exactly nine o'clock, the hearing officially began.

The old senator glanced around calmly, tapped the wooden saddle in front of him, and said, "We are gathered here today to conduct a thorough investigation into the street murder that happened a few days ago by the superhero Superman, also known as Adam Stark. Because of his special status, we are considering giving him a chance to explain himself."

Adam, sitting in the audience, pursed his lips and took out his phone to start playing a game, which made the people sitting next to him laugh. Of course, some people felt that Adam Stark's behavior was unbecoming of a superhero. However, this episode had nothing to do with Adam. He was just playing games because he was bored. When the hearing officially entered the next stage, that would be the time for Adam to fight back.

The old councilor on the stage rambled on and on about all the sins Adam had committed, leading some of the wavering people below to believe that these sins were all committed by Adam, and they began to whisper among themselves.

Seeing the reactions of the audience, the old senator smiled slightly, then his smile faded and he continued with a pained expression: "These are some of the crimes Adam Stark committed while serving as the superhero Shadow. Of course, we can understand that it's difficult to protect other people's lives while also taking care of their homes. However, recent events have made it impossible for us to tolerate this. Just four days ago, while helping the police chase down robbers, Adam Stark suddenly used violence to brutally injure several robbers and killed their leader on the spot. This incident has had a very negative impact. Moreover, we have just received news that the robbers who were seriously injured by Adam have passed away this morning due to the lack of treatment. All these sins must be attributed to Adam Stark, so we can no longer tolerate this and must make a decision. This is the purpose of our hearing. Of course, we will give Mr. Adam Stark time to defend himself, but if Adam Stark's evidence is insufficient, then we are sorry, but we must act according to the law. Even if you are a superhero, we represent the entire U.S. military. This is why we are holding this hearing, and not the Supreme Court."

After listening, Adam stood up and said calmly, "So, Mr. Congressman, have you finished speaking?"

Adam's words immediately drew anger from the old senator, who said, "Mr. Adam Stark, please maintain order at the hearing! Even though you are a superhero, you cannot disregard the Supreme Court or the authority of the military!"

Adam waved his hand and said, "Alright, Mr. Senator, I am not showing contempt for the Supreme Court or the military. I only have contempt for a few of you. Although you are members of the Military Senate, I don't think you are qualified to represent the Supreme Court and the military."

The crowd below cheered upon hearing this, as there were many who supported Adam and believed he was innocent. This was one of the reasons Adam immediately interrupted the old councilor. If the councilor continued speaking, these people might be misled. Although Adam wasn't afraid of such things, there's an old Chinese saying: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." So, when the councilor started rambling on and on, Adam decisively cut him off.

The second update is here! The third update will be uploaded later. Thank you for your support!

Chapter 125 Evidence? I have plenty!

Upon hearing Adam's words, the old congressman's face darkened, and he said, "You! Hmph, you are showing contempt for this hearing! Are you deliberately trying to disrupt this hearing because you feel guilty?"

Adam said calmly, "We know very well who's guilty. Alright, enough nonsense. Didn't you want to accuse me of murder? Today is a hearing. You present your evidence, and we'll take a look together. Then I'll present my evidence, and we'll compare whose evidence is true!"

The older councilor flew into a rage upon hearing this, exclaiming, "You!~~~" Before he could finish, he was pulled back by another middle-aged councilor, whose expression seemed to suggest a mixture of guilt and anger.

Blair, sitting to the side, watched their performance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, 'What a bunch of trash. Humph, I almost had to share this ride with you idiots. Oh well, I'd better focus on completing the task that guy gave me; maybe I can get that empty seat.'

Thinking about this, he recalled what had happened half an hour earlier. Just after he realized that cooperating with these people was a completely foolish idea, a staff member told him that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to meet with him.

-------------------------remember-------------------

This puzzled him greatly, but he also felt that this might be an opportunity, so he followed the staff member to a room and met the famous Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Of course, the so-called staff member was standing behind Nick Fury at this time, and Blairton immediately realized that this staff member might be an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in disguise.

Just as he was lost in thought, Nick Fury slammed a file down in front of him and said, "Blair Cross, male, 32 years old, is currently the youngest ordinary member of the Military Senate. Not bad, very hardworking."

But Blair, after hearing this, said, "Heh, in this world, if we don't work hard, we might live in the shadow of others our whole lives."

Nick Fury said calmly, "I know, that's your motto, and I also know some rather secretive things. Simply put, we have leverage over you and we know your ambitions. Now I'm giving you a choice: cooperate with us to achieve greater success, or go to jail for life!"

Blair's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Are you threatening me?" He had been through a lot and had an exceptionally strong mentality; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a senator at such a young age.

Nick Fury looked at Blair approvingly and said, "Impressive mental fortitude. It's a pity your ambitions don't lie in our line of work, otherwise you would definitely be one of the most outstanding agents."

Blair smiled faintly. "Thank you for the compliment. Tell me, what kind of cooperation is it? What price will I need to pay, and what will I gain?"

Nick Fury said, “Sure. I like dealing with straightforward people like you. Okay, I’ll just say this: I have evidence here that proves Adam Stark didn’t kill anyone. I need you to present this evidence at the hearing later, and what you’ll get is that empty seat!”

Blair laughed after hearing this, "It seems Adam Stark has some powerful connections."

Nick Fury shook his head. He said, "It's not that his backing is powerful, but that his strength is practically invincible on Earth. Unless we use nuclear weapons, which I will not allow, we don't have enough confidence to subdue Adam Stark with nuclear weapons. And don't forget that he is Howard Stark's eldest son and Tony Stark's brother. Trying to take him down would be a very unwise choice."

Blair replied, "But some people still took action, and they still have great confidence in the power they hold."

Nick Fury said calmly, "Times have changed, but some people are unable to adapt to this new era, so they will eventually be eliminated by the times!"

Blair extended his hand and said, "Oh, I see. I don't want to be left behind by the times. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Nick Fury!"

Nick Fury didn't shake hands with Blair. Instead, he handed him the file folder and said calmly, "Pleasure doing business with you! I'll deal with the incriminating evidence you accidentally left behind. I hope you'll behave yourself!" He then nodded slightly to the agent standing there, signaling him to escort Blair out.

-----------------End of flashback------------------

The brief farce came to an end. Although the old senator was so angry that he fainted, he still did not stop his plan. No, to be precise, just as he said, they had no way out.

At this moment, the middle-aged congressman said calmly, "Alright, Mr. Adam, since you want to see the evidence we've collected, then let our colleagues show it to you." He then nodded slightly to Blair, who was standing to the side.

Blair stood up after looking at it and said, "Alright, I'll show you our evidence!" He then turned on the television, and a video began to play.

The people in the video are the older and middle-aged senators sitting in their seats, along with a few others. They are discussing how to frame Adam Stark and take revenge for the humiliation they suffered at the arms supply conference.

Upon seeing this drawing, everyone, including Adam, was somewhat stunned. What did it mean? Had the family turned against each other?

The old senator immediately shouted, "Wrong! Damn it! This is blatant slander! Adam Stark must have bought Blair after all!"

Blair said calmly, "Heh, how ridiculous. You yourselves did these things, yet you don't even have the courage to admit them. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"

The middle-aged councilor, upon hearing this, angrily exclaimed, "Stop this video immediately!"

Adam stood up with a cold laugh and said, "Heh, the evidence you've prepared is really strange. But since you say this evidence doesn't count, then let me show you my evidence! I have plenty of this kind of thing!" After saying that, he took out his phone, placed it on the table, and pressed a button.

A holographic video appeared before everyone, clearly showing how Adam helped the police protect them, how he interrogated the robbers, and how they ultimately died.

Adam said calmly, "As you all see, the reason I interrogated these robbers was because the weapons they were using were unique to Hydra, the Nazi organization during World War II, and they should have disappeared decades ago. Unfortunately, they have reappeared in this world, so I had to interrogate some of the weapons' origins. Unfortunately, I didn't expect this to be a conspiracy against me, and I fell into their trap. Fortunately, we live in the data age, and nothing can be completely hidden. Although these people tried their best to smear me, justice ultimately stood on my side."

The old senator roared, "You're lying! Everyone in the world knows you're a brilliant scientist in the field of computer science! Humph, this is definitely a fabricated video!"

Adam shook his head and said, "Sigh, I really still look down on people like you. You're willing to be used as a pawn. Never mind, Athena, next!"

As soon as Adam finished speaking, the scene in the holographic image switched to a recording—a recording of the conversation between the old senator and someone he thought was unknown. The reason it was called unknown was because the other party's voice was an electronically synthesized voice, as if the other party was afraid of their identity being discovered. However, the other party's identity was no longer important. What was important was that this time, the senators of the Military Senate were truly finished.

All the reporters on site and the live broadcast teams of several major television stations broadcast the footage to all parts of the world, proving that the incident that happened a few days ago was a farce orchestrated by some members of the Military Senate in retaliation for being humiliated by Adam Stark and Tony Stark.

Just then, Athena's voice reached Adam's ears. Athena's voice sounded tense, "Master, Hydra's real target is your villa. More than fifty people have entered the villa. They have breached the first protective barrier and are almost at the living room. I have activated the defense plan, but they also have several mutants and energy weapons. My defenses may not last that long!"

Ps:

Third update! Phew, finally finished writing. I'll continue tomorrow!

Chapter 126 The Intruders

Upon hearing Athena's voice, Adam's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he abruptly stood up, startling Christine and Tony, who were sitting beside him, who were wondering what had happened.

What happened?

Adam said coldly, "Some people want to take this opportunity to sneak into my villa, but unfortunately they don't know about Athena's existence. However, this time the other side has sent a large number of people, so I have to go, otherwise we may have to move."

Christine was immediately startled and asked, "What? How could this happen? Didn't the police notice?"

Tony scoffed and said, "Looks like their target this time is your villa."

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that's true. Christine, you can go back with me. I'll head back to the villa first." With that, he flew directly over the heads of the people.

Those below were astonished and immediately asked Tony and Christine what had happened. Tony glanced at the ashen-faced congressman slumped in front of him and then revealed that Adam's villa had been attacked and contained a lot of research data, implying that the congressmen were the masterminds behind the incident.

Meanwhile, Adam's beachfront villa in Manhattan was bustling with activity. Anyone who approached could hear screams coming from inside every few minutes. These were the screams of those Hydra members who had tried to invade Adam's villa but were stunned or otherwise maimed by Natasha. Fortunately, there were a few mutants among the intruders today, and one of them had the ability to block out sound, so no one noticed what was happening inside the villa.

A man who appeared to be the leader frowned as he watched the number of people dwindle and asked, "How is it? Has the villa's security system been breached?"

A young man with dyed red hair shook his head and looked at the computer in front of him, saying, "It's still no use. Adam Stark truly lives up to his reputation as the most powerful genius right now. We can't crack his AI assistant. I think we should just blow it up. If we continue like this, Adam Stark is very likely to find out about us."

Because they were carrying signal jammers, they weren't afraid that Adam would discover the situation at their villa. However, they clearly didn't expect that after the battle in Africa, Adam had considered the possibility of someone attacking his villa with a signal jammer, so he had taken special precautions. As a result, Adam already knew everything about their situation and was speeding up his flight home.

After listening, the leader checked the time and said, "Alright, since we can't crack the intelligent system, let's use the old method to bypass its defenses!" He then waved to his men to begin.

plan.

Upon seeing this, his men picked up several C4 bombs and began installing them on the villa's wall, preparing to create an opening to enter. Athena, standing inside the villa, sneered and activated the villa's true defensive layer. Several energy weapons then extended from the villa's walls, firing energy blasts at the group preparing to blow up the villa.

Seeing the villa's automatic defense system activate, a white-haired man standing beside the leader sneered, "Hmph, a mere intelligent system thinks it can wipe us all out? What a joke!" With that, he waved his hands. An energy protective layer appeared on all the survivors, blocking all the attacks.

After seeing this through the monitoring equipment, Athena said, "Mutants really have a lot of strange abilities, but the real show is just beginning!" After saying that, she launched a new round of attacks.

When Adam bought the villa, he had heavily fortified the research labs below. However, because he hadn't considered the possibility of his identity being exposed, the external security system was rather weak. Later, as his identity became known, he improved the external defenses, making the Hydra forces, who had invaded when Athena activated the ultimate defenses, utterly destroyed everything except for a dozen mutants and a few soldiers in strange armor.

The leader of this Hydra operation, let's call him A1 for now, stood behind the mutants who could use protective abilities. Watching the soldiers fall one after another, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will raze this villa to the ground!" Although these half-crippled soldiers were at the very bottom of Hydra's ranks, A1, as their leader, wasn't in much better shape. Therefore, his relationship with his soldiers was relatively good, and seeing them fall one by one, he momentarily forgot the mission entrusted to him by his superiors.

Use protective capabilities

Hearing his words, he sneered, "Don't forget our goal this time. Although some of our people have already been sacrificed, we have also found the weakness in their attack. Let them hold out for a while longer. My group is almost there to find a way to infiltrate."

All members of group 1 are mutants, and his

One member of the group possesses the special ability to infect electronic devices and turn them into their allies. Of course, such a powerful ability alone wouldn't qualify them for a spot.

In group 1, that guy has a fatal flaw: the activation time is extremely long. According to him, he is not controlling these electronic devices, but rather falling in love with them, which is why it is slow. However, everyone knows that this is just an excuse he makes for his weakness.

1. They had previously considered using their organization's latest computer program to crack the villa's smart system, but Athena ultimately counterattacked and burned their computers. At this point...
