Adam noticed the fleeting sadness in Tony's eyes and secretly decided to inject Tony with the latest super serum he had researched. This super serum was created by Adam on a sleepless night after he awakened his memories. Although it did not have the same powerful effects as the serum Jack used, it could still give Tony's body a comprehensive evolution, increasing his abilities to about three times that of a normal human.

Having made this decision, Adam walked over to Tony and said, "Alright, it's good that you weren't scared. Hehe, as for Christine's background, I told you before, but you were just a little unwilling to admit it. Well, this ruin can't be inhabited anymore. I'll go in and adjust some of the equipment inside, and then we'll go back to our hometown to spend the night together."

Adam patted Tony on the shoulder, walked to a mirror in the kitchen, pressed a few buttons, and went into the underground laboratory. He packed the serum and syringes he had previously prepared into a box. Then, he grabbed the protective suit he had prepared for Tony and left the laboratory. As for the laboratory's safety, Adam believed that without the main villa's constraints, the laboratory's energy was sufficient for Athena to withstand any attack.

The second update is here, making it the third update today. I'll add the previous chapters tomorrow, depending on the situation. Thank you for your support, all readers!

Chapter 129 Cars and Design

Adam emerged from the underground laboratory and said, "Let's go see if there are any cars left in the garage that we can ride in. Hopefully, our luck isn't too bad."

Tony saw the box in Adam's hand and asked, "Hey, what's that in your hand? Is it something those guys who attacked your villa needed?"

Adam shook his head and said, "No, it's a gift, something to give away. Okay, don't worry about it, let's see if we can find a complete car first." He then handed the box to Christine and led Tony to the garage, which was almost completely remodeled from the outside.

Looking at the sports cars in the garage turned into a pile of scrap metal, Adam felt a pang of sadness. You see, Adam had loved cars since he was a child, so when he had his first money, he bought his first car. Although he hadn't used this car for a long time, he kept it in this garage.

The entire garage was damaged by the explosion and no car could be found that could be driven out. Adam was both frustrated and angry, and his determination to deal with Hydra became even stronger.

"Ugh, am I supposed to drive the Batmobile out? It's broad daylight, and there are so many reporters lurking around the villa. Most importantly, I remember the Batmobile only has two seats."

"Hey bro, come quick! Your baby's alright, haha, I never thought I'd see this car again after all these years!" Just then, Tony's voice came from the corner of the garage.

When Adam walked over, he found a car in the corner that was unharmed because it was far away, but it was surrounded by rubble. Once it was cleared, it could still be driven on the street.

"Haha. I didn't expect so many cars to be totaled, but this one is still fine. Bro, hurry up and get it out." Tony kept urging Adam as soon as he arrived.

Adam looked closely. It was the very first car he'd ever bought! He burst out laughing, saying, "Hey, it really is this car! Haha, Tony. Move a bit further away, I'm going to rescue it." With that, he flew to the roof, grabbed the car with both hands, and slowly dragged it out of the pile of rubble.

Adam parked the car in front of the garage and looked at it. Although the car was covered in scratches, after Adam's X-ray vision inspected it, he found that the car was still usable. So Adam waved to Tony, and after Tony got in, he started the car and slowly drove it to Christine and Pepper Potts.

Tony rolled down the window and whistled, "Hey girls, need a ride?" Just like the first time Tony drove out with Adam.

Christine looked at the old-fashioned car in front of her and immediately smiled, "Adam, where did you find this car?"

Adam laughed and said, "This is the first car I've ever bought. I didn't expect it to just happen to save us from today's disaster. Hehe, get in the car, I'll take you for a spin."

Christine smiled slightly after hearing this. She got into the car with Pepper Potts and then said, "Hey, handsome guys, where are you taking us?"

Tony flashed a dashing smile and said, “Hello, beautiful ladies. I am Tony Stark. And this handsome man next to me is Adam Stark. You may call us the Starks of Miracles. Would you do us the honor of having dinner with us? Of course, there might be more to it.”

Christine and Pepper Potts looked at Tony with some confusion, wondering what he was up to.

Upon seeing this, Adam started the car and laughed, "Ten years ago, when I was just twelve, I got my first capital. Because I loved cars so much, I didn't tell my parents and took ten-year-old Tony to the dealership to buy one. Haha, you wouldn't believe how ripped we were off! We bought this car for twice the market price. But we had no idea at the time; we thought we were so cool driving around in front of NYU to pick up girls. That's what Tony said back then."

Christine exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You two are really lecherous. One is only 12 years old and the other is only 10, and you already know how to pick up girls."

Pepperpotts looked at Tony and said, "It really is a habit formed since childhood. No wonder you still can't break it now."

Tony tossed his hair in a flamboyant manner and said, "Please call us geniuses! Geniuses are meant to be different; a genius's life needs no explanation!"

Christine and Pepper Potts burst into laughter upon seeing it, completely disregarding their ladylike demeanor; clearly, they hadn't expected Tony to have this side to him.

"Oh? Did you succeed in picking up a girl for the first time?"

Adam shrugged and said, "Don't even mention it. I almost got caught by the police, and after finally running home, I got a scolding from my father. Thinking back on those days now, I really miss them—a carefree life and beloved family." As he spoke, he thought of his family: his parents Howard Stark and Maria in this world, his adoptive parents John Kent and Martha in the other world, and his biological parents, Jorge and I, who sacrificed everything to ensure his survival.

After seeing Adam's expression, Christine gently placed her hand on Adam's face and said, "Don't be sad, Adam. You have me back, and you have Tony, and many more people who support you. You are not alone."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Christine. I'm fine. I was just thinking about things from my childhood."

Tony exclaimed, "Oh my, showing off your love again. How about I and Pepper get out here so you can enjoy your romance in the car?"

Adam saw the glistening tears in Tony's eyes and his feigned nonchalance, and inwardly admired the man's strength. Then he laughed and cursed, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"

Tony replied, "Oh, I know this. It's a Chinese proverb, right? But I still don't understand what special meaning this perfectly correct sentence has. Do you know?"

Adam was speechless for a moment, then said, "Okay, Tony, shut up! We're almost there. Ladies and gentlemen, get ready, we're going to shake off the paparazzi who've been following us for a while!" With that, he made a stylish tail-spinning maneuver into an alley, and after a few turns, he had shaken off the paparazzi before finally returning to the house where Tony was now living.

After the four returned to Tony's house, they had a simple meal. Then Tony left the house because of work, while Adam turned on his computer and started designing blueprints for a new villa. He decided to retrieve all the information about protective machinery from his memory so that if they encountered a similar situation again, they could leave the villa unattended.

Christine approached Adam, watching him quickly sketch out plans, and asked, "Adam, what are you drawing? Plans for the villa?"

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to redesign the villa and add more security measures. I don't want what happened today to happen again."

After hearing this, Christine suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right, my mother taught me how to set up a few magic circles. We can try drawing one of these magic circles in the new villa. My mother said that this magic circle can absorb the sun's energy to strengthen its defensive capabilities."

After hearing this, Adam kissed Christine and said, "Okay, let's design our house together and make it incredibly sturdy so we won't have to live outside like this time. Although I have several villas in other places, I still prefer the one that was destroyed, not only because Athena's main body is inside, but also because I like the feeling of being there."

Upon hearing this, Christine smiled happily and said, "Great! Designing our love nest with my beloved has always been my dream." She then joined Adam in the design process.

Meanwhile, below the seaside villa, Athena, her face cold, stared at the pile of data before her and muttered, "Hmph, you humans have really annoyed me. My master specially built this villa for me, and you dared to destroy it! You just wait, I'll make you taste my power! Hmph, I'll find every single one of you, and for that, I'll use some abilities I've always been reluctant to use. Although this might anger my master, who told you to mess with a woman? Oh, hahahaha!!!"

If Adam were here, he would definitely discover that Athena's data has begun to evolve in a more dangerous direction. Unfortunately, Athena has never revealed this side of herself to Adam. Therefore, although Adam knows that there is a problem with Athena's evolution, he does not care about it because Athena appears more human-like. Adam knows that Athena would not and could not betray him.

...

Chapter 130 The Counterattack Begins

Days passed, and Adam and Christine returned to their villa in Queens. Adam had already submitted the design plans for the Manhattan villa to a company, and specifically requested that all designs, no matter how absurd or unreasonable they might seem, must be carried out according to the plans. If the designs could not be completed according to the plans, Adam would immediately switch to another company.

Life continued seemingly peacefully, with no outside reports except for the initial news of Adam Stark's house being bombed by terrorists. But only Adam himself knew that this was merely the calm before the storm, and only he knew the true extent of his rage.

These past few days, Adam has seemed to be going to work and coming home peacefully, spending wonderful days with the Christines. But secretly, he has been waiting for news from Athena. As soon as he gets news from Athena, as long as he finds any trace of the Hydra organization, Adam will immediately launch a thunderous attack on his opponent.

That day, just after Adam delivered Christine to Dawn Company, he received a message from Athena. In the message, Athena said that after many days of monitoring and analysis, she had found three suspicious bars or villas and sent the analysis data to Adam's mobile phone.

Adam smiled slightly upon seeing this and said coldly, "It seems the time for revenge has finally arrived. I've been holding back for so long; I can finally let loose."

Athena asked, "Master, are you going now or tonight?"

Adam calmly said, "Let's go tonight, after Christine is asleep. I think that way we can fool those people who have been trying to spy on us."

Athena smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I understand, Master. I'll continue searching for the next location." Then she disappeared.

Adam smiled slightly and continued with his work. That evening, he went to the film set to pick up Christine and they returned together to their villa in Queens. After a simple meal, they watched some TV and discussed the content.

Located on a street behind Times Square in Manhattan, there's a bar called "Meeting," a very luxurious establishment that attracts white-collar workers hoping to snag a wealthy husband. Of course, who ends up actually hooking up with whom remains to be seen.

Such a bar, in theory, should not have any connection with a terrorist organization like Hydra, but in fact, this bar is owned by Madam Viper of Hydra, and it was a bar she specially built to keep celebrities in check.

Of course, Mrs. Viper's current public identity is that of the CEO of a cross-border real estate company. New York's elite are fond of women with both money and status, and although they still haven't won over Mrs. Viper, that doesn't stop them from coming here for pleasure. Isn't it said that what you can't have is the most attractive?

At that moment, Madam Viper was sitting in her office at the Meeting Bar, a cigarette in her hand, asking her subordinates, "Has Adam Stark still not made a move?"

His subordinate shook his head and said, "Adam Stark is not acting strangely, madam. Of course, we don't know if he's conducting any investigations in secret, because monitoring Adam Stark is just too exhausting."

Lady Viper nodded. "I understand. You may continue your surveillance." She then waved for her men to leave.

His men bowed respectfully to Madam Viper upon seeing this, then left the office, leaving only Madam Viper's alluring whispers in the smoke.

"What are you thinking, Adam Stark, or rather, Superman! I don't believe you're the kind of person who would remain indifferent even when pushed to this point."

These past few days, Lady Viper had been extremely cautious, on guard against a sudden attack from Adam Stark. However, what puzzled her and many others was that, aside from rebuilding his villa, Adam Stark had made no statement or taken any action regarding the previous incident, leaving everyone watching him perplexed.

Therefore, similar conversations took place several times across the United States, with everyone waiting for Adam Stark's reaction to determine their future attitude towards Stark Industries and Dawn Corporation. Only a fool would believe that Adam Stark would remain indifferent to the enemy's provocation, but the extent of his reaction was the answer these people wanted to know.

Meanwhile, Adam was still asleep in bed. Around 3 a.m., Adam opened his eyes, glanced at Christine lying beside him, and then deftly floated off the bed. He put on his battle armor and quietly left. Of course, Adam had no idea that the moment he left, Christine opened her eyes, watching his retreating figure, silently praying for him.

Of course, Adam was unaware of all this. He was now hovering in the night sky over Long Island, New York, searching for his target—a Hydra stronghold and a food processing plant located on Long Island.

Adam looked down at the bustling factory below and said, "Let's start here. Athena, take control of all their electrical appliances and show them what happens when they anger Adam Stark!"

Athena chuckled and said, "Okay, Master, you can finally let me play to my heart's content. I'll be going now!" After saying that, she started to control some of the machinery in the processing plant, scaring out a group of ordinary workers inside.

Because of Athena's control, those who were able to leave the factory were ordinary people specially recruited by Hydra to cover their tracks, while the peripheral members of Hydra and the minor leaders in charge of this stronghold were kept in the factory by Athena using various methods.

Athena appeared before Adam and smiled, "Master, everyone is here, the party can begin!"

Adam smiled slightly and said, "I hope the master here will like this uninvited guest!" After saying that, he landed directly with a loud bang, crashing through the roof of the processing plant and landing in front of the panicked Hydra minions.

The foreman in charge of the processing plant was initially puzzled as to what had happened, but upon seeing Adam, he was immediately alarmed and shouted, "Ahhh! Superman is here! Attack!"

Upon hearing this, his men pulled out various weapons and began attacking Adam. However, these ordinary weapons, whose power was even less than that of energy weapons, posed no threat to Adam. Therefore, Adam calmly walked into their firing range and knocked out these henchmen with a single punch each. The entire battle lasted only five minutes. This was only because Adam had deliberately allowed them some time to ramble on in order to extract more clues.

Adam used his X-ray vision to examine the other person's body and found no trace of bombs. He said, "It seems these are all Hydra's peripheral personnel."

Athena nodded and said, "That should be it, or perhaps we came at the wrong time and the core members aren't inside."

Adam glanced coldly at the processing plant and said, "Athena, notify S.H.I.E.L.D. to come and clean up the mess. I think they'll definitely be very interested in these Hydra personnel."

Athena nodded and said, "I understand, it's been sent. Master, should we proceed to the next location? Perhaps the situation might be the same elsewhere."

Adam said calmly, "Well, let's move on to the next stronghold. Although we may not gain much, destroying Hydra's various strongholds in the United States should teach them a lesson!" After saying that, he flew towards the next stronghold that Athena had analyzed.

And so, in that one night, Athena and Adam worked together to destroy all 300 of Hydra's strongholds, large and small, across the United States. They encountered resistance from mutants or core members more than a dozen times along the way. Although some of the mutants' abilities were indeed quite bizarre, requiring considerable effort to overcome, Adam ultimately emerged victorious.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Adam hovered above the Hydra stronghold located on the border between Canada and the United States. Looking down at the dilapidated secret base, he said calmly, "Hmm, I think Hydra should have suffered a great blow after tonight's operation. Although many of these strongholds may not be very important, it should be enough to cripple them! Alright, time to go home." After saying that, he destroyed the stronghold below with a heat ray and flew away.

P.S.: Thank you for your support. I will try my best to write each chapter well!

Chapter 131 Snake Catching Operation

When Adam returned home, he found that Christine had already gotten up. Of course, Adam had no idea that Christine hadn't slept all night and had been waiting for Adam's return.

Seeing Adam enter, Christine smiled slightly and said, "Oh, you're back? Where did you go so early?"

When Adam returned, he had transformed his battle robes into casual clothes and had also stopped by Chinatown to buy some breakfast. So he smiled and said, "Yeah, you're back. I brought you some breakfast."

Christine was relieved to see Adam return safely. Although she already knew Adam was strong enough to be alright, she still couldn't help but worry. She said nonchalantly, "Hehe, I woke up and didn't see you, so I knew you went to buy breakfast."

Adam smiled and said, "Well, I got up early today, and you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to disturb you." It was a white lie, meant to keep the other person from worrying about him.

Christine didn't say anything, but walked over and kissed Adam, saying, "By the way, our crew has a rare day off today, how about we go shopping? I've never really explored Queens properly before."

Adam nodded and said, "Sure, after we go shopping we can have some French food. I know a restaurant nearby that serves very authentic French food. After that we can see a play or a movie or something."

Christine's eyes lit up, and she said, "Great! Great! But let's watch a play instead. I don't really like movies."

Adam asked in surprise, "As an actor, you don't like watching movies?"

Christine wrinkled her cute nose and said, "What's so strange about that? It's like a chef not liking to cook at home. I enjoy making movies not just because I enjoy it, but also because it's my job. As for watching movies, please spare me. My life can't consist of nothing but movies. Otherwise, I'll go crazy."

Adam chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, let's go see a play."
