Christine took the breakfast from Adam's hands and said, "But I think we should eat breakfast now; I'm getting a little hungry." She then placed the breakfast on the table. They then enjoyed the delicious food from Chinatown together.

After finishing breakfast, Christine patted her stomach with great satisfaction and said, "Not bad, it's on par with the quality of that small supermarket owner in Canada."

Adam knew the breakfast here was nothing special, and the reason Christine found it delicious was because it reminded him of when he was pursuing her during filming in Canada. Therefore, his gaze towards Christine softened even more.

In contrast, Madam Viper was lounging on the sofa in the meeting bar, savoring the afterglow of last night's revelry. Of course, unlike ordinary women, Madam Viper also preferred women, especially the most beautiful ones. Unfortunately, none of the women who fell into her hands survived to the next morning.

Tap tap tap~~!! Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Lady Viper frowned unhappily. She said coldly, "Who? What is it?" She disliked her subordinates bothering her at times like this, but she also knew that these people wouldn't risk their lives to disturb her unless it was something important. As her subordinates, they knew when they could do what and when they couldn't.

A panicked voice came from outside the door: "Madam, something terrible has happened! Something horrific has occurred!"

Lady Viper coldly shouted, "Come in and talk!"

The door opened, and a handsome man dressed as a waiter walked in, sweating profusely, his legs trembling as he moved. He was clearly terrified of something.

Lady Viper gave this guy, whom she usually found handsome, a look of disgust and asked, "Speak. What exactly happened?"

The man said quickly, "Madam, something terrible has happened. We just received news that all our small and medium-sized outposts across the United States have been destroyed by Superman! It's safe to say that all our efforts over the past decade have been in vain. Now only a handful of large outposts remain undamaged. What should we do?"

Lady Viper was startled upon hearing this and asked, "All three hundred-plus strongholds have been destroyed?"

The man nodded and said, "That's right. The scariest thing is that we didn't receive any information at all. If it weren't for the message sent to us by our SHIELD personnel this morning, we might have been completely kept in the dark."

Lady Viper gritted her teeth and said, "Damn Adam Stark, so this is your true face after all. Humph, you destroyed more than three hundred strongholds overnight. Is this a warning to us?"

The waiter asked, "Madam, what should we do now? The Baron has already called us; they say they want to pursue your responsibility."

Madam Viper sneered, "Pursue my responsibility? Hmph, who decided to provoke Adam Stark in the first place? Are you expecting me to take the blame when things go wrong? Hmph, dream on! Why haven't we received any news? Is Adam Stark really that powerful, able to destroy all the outposts in the shortest amount of time without the people inside sounding the alarm?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "We have no way of knowing that. Perhaps Adam Stark's technological abilities are also outstanding."

Madam Viper frowned deeply, then suddenly a glint of light flashed in her eyes as she said, "Damn it, that guy from S.H.I.E.L.D. has definitely been exposed. We can't take him any further. Notify the Baron that I'll remember this!" If she still didn't know she'd been betrayed by someone from Hydra at this point, she wouldn't be Madam Viper, she would be Madam Dead Snake.

The waiter was clearly confused as to why Lady Viper would say such a thing, and asked rather naively, "What? The enemy knows our location?"

A cold glint flashed in Lady Viper's eyes, and somehow a long green whip appeared in her hand. With a snap, it wrapped around the waiter's neck, and with a slight pull, the waiter was brought to Lady Viper's side.

Lady Viper looked at the handsome man's face with affection and said, "Alas, if only you were a little smarter, you might have gotten what you've always wanted!" After saying that, she kissed the waiter's lips with her bright red lips.

Faced with what everyone else saw as a romantic encounter, the waiter's eyes flickered with fear, unease, and pleading. But Viper Lady ignored his gaze and kissed him directly on the lips. After about five minutes of kissing, Viper Lady threw the now-dead waiter to the ground and twisted her body as she left the office.

Not long after Madam Viper left, Phil Coulson and his men sealed off all exits of the Repentance Bar, then led SHIELD special agents inside. Although Madam Viper had already left, she hadn't taken many people with her to delay SHIELD's advance. Therefore, these people were still unaware of their betrayal. Seeing the SHIELD agents enter, they thought they had been discovered and drew their weapons to resist. Unfortunately for them, they were caught off guard, and the battle ended very quickly; all those who resisted were subdued by SHIELD.

Phil Coulson stood in the office where Madam Viper had been, looking at the surrounding decorations and smiling slightly. "That Madam Viper really knows how to enjoy life."

An Asian woman standing next to him said, "If you had seen what was happening in the other room, you wouldn't have said that."

Phil Coulson, referring the patient, asked, "What? Lady Viper wasn't found? But we were prepared for that, weren't we?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, we were indeed prepared. Otherwise, that woman wouldn't be a world-class wanted criminal. And what's most frustrating is that we didn't get any video or audio footage of Madam Viper. Isn't that even more ironic?"

Phil Coulson laughed and said, "Alright, don't be upset. If Superman hadn't destroyed so many of Hydra's strongholds, we wouldn't have been able to carry out this snake-catching operation. Although Mrs. Viper has escaped, we still managed to catch some large snakes, didn't we? Perhaps we can cook these snakes into snake soup."

The woman was clearly unimpressed by Phil Coulson's humor, saying, "Alright, since we haven't found anything here, we should head out. The chief is waiting for us."

Phil Coulson chuckled, "Heh heh, don't be in such a hurry, May. I believe there's some very important information in this room that we just haven't discovered yet. Trust me!"

P.S.: Ugh, so unlucky! I only realized I left my USB drive at the office when I got home. Sigh, I guess I'll have to rewrite this chapter. Okay, that'll be two chapters for today. Hmm, I still owe two more, I'll remember!

Chapter 132 Changes in the World

What Adam did last night was only reported by the media this afternoon. It was said that Superman destroyed all the strongholds of a terrorist organization in the United States in one night, and everyone who saw the news began to praise Superman.

Meanwhile, Adam and Christine were strolling around outside. The reason they were able to stroll so freely was that Christine had used a confusion spell before they went out, making people who saw Christine and Adam forget about them in the blink of an eye.

Adam, carrying three or four bags, walked with Christine through the streets of Queens and said, "Your magic is really useful. Now we can go shopping together more often."

Christine laughed and said, "It works very well, doesn't it? I spent a long time learning this magic."

Adam kissed Christine and said, "Yes, my darling is really amazing. Let's go have some food together, I'm getting a little hungry."

Christine nodded and said, "Okay, there's one up ahead, let's go together." Then, like a little girl, she pulled Adam along and ran towards it.

Actually, it wasn't just Christine who was happy; Adam was also quite cheerful. This wasn't just because he had already avenged Hydra's attack on and destruction of the villa, but also because such a peaceful stroll was a rare treat for him. Although he didn't have the identity of Superman before, he was still the eldest son of the Stark family, so he was still the center of attention when he walked down the street.

But things are different now. Thanks to Christine's magic, Adam can now stroll hand-in-hand with Christine and kiss her freely in the street. Adam can now live a much more authentic life. This isn't to say his previous life wasn't authentic, but rather that he was a public figure and had to be mindful of certain things.

The two strolled around various shopping malls in Queens, buying some loungewear and clothes to wear after get off work. After shopping, Adam took Christine to an amusement park. Thanks to the confusion magic, they had a wonderful time and didn't even notice how quickly time flew by.

When they left the amusement park, it was already dinnertime. Following their plan, they ate French food together near their home, and then went to a nearby theater to enjoy an opera.

Perhaps it's because when two people in love are together, everything becomes meaningful, so even though Adam doesn't particularly like opera performances, he still enjoys them immensely.

Just then, Adam suddenly spotted a familiar figure—Peter Parker, the young man who had always been familiar to him. He and Harry Osborne were intently watching the little girl playing the maid on stage, which brought a smile to Adam's face.

Christine noticed Adam's actions and asked in confusion, "Adam, did you find something?"

Adam smiled and said, "No, I saw two familiar faces."

Christine followed Adam's gaze and spotted Harry Osborn and Peter Parker. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Hey, what are they doing here? Harry shouldn't be going back to a small theater like this, especially not to see an opera."

Adam explained, "That's probably because Peter's house is here, and of course, the little girl on the stage is also one of the main reasons that attracted Harry."

After hearing this, Christine said, "It's really quite incredible that Harry and Peter could become friends."

Adam nodded and said, "That makes sense. Logically, they shouldn't be able to become friends. But perhaps Mr. Osborn really did a good job raising his son. Or maybe they were family friends. Peter Parker's parents were said to be very talented scientists, but unfortunately they died in a plane crash."

Christine said, "Oh, I see. Poor Peter. He lost his parents at such a young age."

Adam glanced at Peter Parker, who was intently watching the other's performance, and said, "Actually, he still has a loving uncle and aunt, and he's become friends with Harry, who's from a wealthy family. You could say he's doing alright."

The opera finally ended as they were talking. Christine and Adam clapped to the actors and then left the theater with the others. Peter and Harry had probably gone backstage to visit their classmates. Yes, I just found that out through Athena. That's why Adam and Christine didn't go to see them. After all, everyone has their own life, right?

As Adam left the theater, he saw a little girl selling flowers. He bought all the flowers from her and gave them to Christine, who accepted them with a sweet smile and kissed him.

Adam asked, "What do we do now? Go straight home, or do you want to go somewhere else?"

A hint of spring in Christine's eyes flashed as she said, "I want to go home! Adam, let's go home!"

Adam smiled slightly after reading it and said, "Yes, madam, let's go home now!" He then hailed a taxi and returned home.

After returning home, the two couldn't wait to begin their nightlife. Beautiful music filled the house, making even the moon shyly hide behind the clouds. They enjoyed a night of revelry!

The next morning, Adam left home feeling refreshed, while Christine, having had a great time the day before, was still in bed resting. After all, the film she was shooting was also invested in by Adam himself, so she didn't need to go so early.

Adam had just arrived at the office when his assistant, Susan, walked in carrying over a dozen invitations. She exclaimed, "Boss, what you did the other day was truly amazing! All the kids there idolize you! And also…" She chattered on and on.

Adam smiled and said, "You didn't come in just to talk about this, did you?" He knew that if he didn't interrupt his assistant, this little scatterbrain would continue talking about things unrelated to work, and then tell him with a regretful look that she had forgotten why she came in.

Susan slapped her forehead and said, "Oh dear, I forgot my purpose. Hehe, boss, I'm here to deliver your invitations. I've selected a dozen or so banquets that you have to attend. I've already left the invitations for other banquets that have conflicting dates or are not so important outside."

Adam replied, "I understand. Bring them over so I can take a look. I don't have time to deal with all these people. Hmm, I can go to Osborn Enterprises. Stark Industries? I'll definitely attend the banquet in my hometown. And the Hilton and Bush families too. That's all. As for the other invitations, please call them one by one and tell them I don't have time and we'll do it next time."

He knew why they were all sent at the same time, so he didn't need to be too polite. He just kept the invitations that he couldn't refuse, and he would deal with the others when he had time. He knew that all the other party wanted was a statement.

Susan nodded and said, "I understand, boss! I'll go make the call right away! By the way, boss, it seems Osborne Enterprises is holding an exhibition soon. Mr. Osborne's secretary just called and asked me to let you know."

Adam said, "I understand. Please arrange a time for me and let me know when it's time. Is there anything else?"

After hearing this, Susan said, "No, boss. I'll head out now. It's you who's looking for me again." With that, she left the office.

Adam glanced at the invitation still on his desk and smiled slightly, saying, "Athena, it seems that what we did the day before yesterday wasn't entirely fruitless."

Athena revealed herself and said, "Hehe, these guys are only now truly acknowledging your power, Master. Perhaps they've finally realized the changes in this era. This era is no longer the one where power reigns supreme. Instead, it's a world where individual strength can influence the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics)!"

Adam laughed after hearing this, "Yes, this world is also on the verge of evolution. Since characters like the Hulk, the Punisher, Nite Owl, the Punisher and Daredevil have already appeared, then the era of universal heroes is not far away. Just like in another world, when I first became Superman, there were no superheroes in that world. Later, Batman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and other characters appeared. Finally, because of the alien invasion, we became a superhero organization to protect the safety of the earth. So we can foresee that the era of universal heroes is coming!"

Phoenix Spirit

Chapter 133 Hydra's Decision

Adam looked at the newspaper on the table, reflecting on the changes in the world. A news item in a corner of the paper reported the recent appearance of a superhero in a red bodysuit wielding two sticks in the slum known as "Hell's Kitchen," who was being called "Daredevil" by the locals.

Athena pulled up the video footage of Daredevil and said, "It's relatively easy to find out this person's identity. Should I check his background?"

Adam shook his head and said, "No need. Since we're both in New York City, we should meet someday. It seems this is his first time doing good deeds, so let's help him delete those video materials that might expose his identity."

He knew that people who became superheroes by wearing masks always had various concerns. Most of them had their own families and wore masks to avoid their identities harming their families. Adam understood these people very well, so he decided to help this new superhero.

After hearing this, Athena said, "I understand. By the way, Master, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also noticed this person. Should I delete the information in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database as well?"

Adam said, "No need. I think S.H.I.E.L.D. is now using a separate computer to store data. What they're putting out in the open is probably fake data or some irrelevant information. Besides, there's nothing wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D. overseeing these superheroes. Although I also want to rebuild the Justice League, these people aren't qualified!"

As the undisputed leader of the Justice League in another world, Adam has the right to utter such arrogant words. However, it is indeed true that it is not yet certain whether these newly emerging superheroes can persevere on this path, so they are not suitable to join the Justice League.

Athena said, "I understand."

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. You continue to monitor the city. Let me know if anything happens, and also keep an eye on the construction of the villa."

After hearing this, Athena said, "I understand. Goodbye, Master!" and then disappeared.

On the other side, a popular fast food restaurant in Washington, D.C., was a frequent meeting place for several powerful figures in Hydra. Because it was only a place for meetings or discussions, it was not destroyed by Adam.

Meanwhile, on the third floor of the fast-food restaurant, in a rather secluded private room, Hydra's powerful figures gathered once again. Of course, Mrs. Viper, who was already wanted in the United States, wasn't there; she was busy playing hide-and-seek with S.H.I.E.L.D.

After glancing at the people seated on the west side, the Baron said calmly, "It seems the Madam is unable to attend. In that case, let's begin the meeting."

Just then, a middle-aged man below took a dice-sized object from his pocket and placed it on Mrs. Viper's seat. A flash of blue light appeared and Mrs. Viper's holographic image appeared on the empty chair.

Lady Viper smiled smugly and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a little late, but I'm sure some of you are quite unhappy about it, haha. But even if you're unhappy, there's nothing you can do because that's just who I am. Although I can't be in the United States right now, I think I can still attend this kind of meeting. After all, technology is so advanced these days, don't you think?"

After listening, the Baron glanced quietly at the middle-aged man. He then said to Lady Viper, "Madam, you have excellent methods. You truly live up to your name, Lady Viper."

Lady Viper smiled faintly and said, "Baron, you're too kind. We're even."

The Baron didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned to look at everyone and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin this meeting. Thanks to Adam Stark's antics, all our hard work in America over the past ten years has been ruined, so I think perhaps some people should be held responsible for this."

Lady Viper said calmly, "Indeed, someone should be held responsible for this. I have found the person who betrayed us all. If it weren't for him, we would never have become enemies with Adam Stark, and we wouldn't be in this situation today. Therefore, I have secretly captured that person. Max, bring that guy in."

The middle-aged man, Max, nodded and gave a slight nod to one of the men behind him. His men immediately ran out and brought in a young man who was bound hand and foot. The young man had obviously been interrogated, and there was not a single patch of intact skin on his body; it had all been cruelly peeled off.

Upon seeing the young man brought in, the man in the black suit sitting to the left of the Baron suddenly showed a hint of panic. He hadn't expected that the person he sent would be captured by Lady Viper, and he didn't know what the guy had said.
