Maria Hill replied, "I just watched the video. While Adam was fighting the lizard giant, several other lizardmen took the opportunity to escape. I think Adam is chasing them. I hope none of them are lizardmen capable of going berserk."

After hearing this, Nick Fury said, "I understand. Keep an eye on Adam Stark's return time, find him when he comes back, and tell him about this as soon as possible. Then call Agent Skwell; I need to speak with him."

Maria Hill nodded and left Nick Fury's office. Nick Fury, meanwhile, opened his computer and pulled up some of the Doctor's files. A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes; this was the last file in this world; he had deleted everything else.

Meanwhile, after freezing Holdesid, Adam left and flew to Christine's side using the locator on her. About half an hour later, he found Christine fighting a lizardman in a deserted mountain area. The reason it took so long to fly was because Christine, after seeing the lizardman escape, secretly followed and used a large-scale teleportation spell to move the lizardmen to a valley in the Canadian mountains.

Adam glanced at the two lizardmen lying unconscious on the ground and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Since neither of his two fallen companions had gone berserk—well, that was something a reporter had said in the news broadcast just now, which Adam had conveniently borrowed. Getting back to the point, since the remaining lizardmen hadn't gone berserk yet, it meant that lizardmen capable of going berserk were extremely rare. Perhaps releasing one today was for experimental purposes.

Thinking of this, Adam had another reason to eliminate the mastermind. Since the other party dared to scheme against him, then Adam shouldn't be surprised if he used his extraordinary abilities to eradicate them completely. Adam was confident in that much.

Just as Adam was floating in the air lost in thought, Christine, wielding what was said to be a weapon given to Sue by Athena after their reconciliation, slashed fiercely at the last lizardman. With a deafening boom, the last lizardman was knocked unconscious by Christine's blow. The reason there was no blood splattering was due to the special ability of this divine sword: its sharpness depended on the user's will. For example, as Christine had just done, if she didn't want to kill, the sword would become a blunt weapon, only capable of injuring but not killing.

Clap clap clap. Adam saw Christine quickly and efficiently finish off the last lizardman and clapped with a smile, saying, "Not bad. You've already managed to defeat the enemy without getting hurt. You've already shown the demeanor of a goddess."

Christine gave a reproachful look and said, "You're so annoying, always making fun of me."

Adam went over and hugged Christine, saying, "Christine, you have to promise me that you will protect yourself. You have no idea how much I regretted letting you embark on this journey when you left on your own to chase after these lizardmen."

Christine shook her head and said, "As long as it can help you, as long as I can fight alongside you, I'm willing!"

Adam was deeply moved. If the occasion hadn't been so inappropriate, he might have actually had a romantic encounter with Christine. However, the presence of three lizardmen lying unconscious on the ground still felt awkward.

"Alright, let's take these guys to New York first. It's not good to leave them here." After saying that, he went to the lizardmen and lifted them by their tails. Since they were already unconscious, he wasn't afraid that they would break off their tails and escape.

Christine smiled slightly, stopped Adam, and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I left the coordinates there, so we can teleport back directly."

In order to return to Adam's side after he defeated the lizard giants, Christine deliberately left a magical mark there. Unfortunately, because she hadn't practiced teleportation magic, Christine was transported to such a far place and was ambushed by three lizardmen. Fortunately, Christine's status as a goddess was not to be underestimated, so after a brief period of confusion, she quickly adapted to the rhythm of the battle and easily defeated the three lizardmen. Of course, there were some things Christine didn't intend to tell Adam about.

Adam nodded and said, "Great! I didn't expect you to have such advanced magic among the spells you've learned. You truly are Christine."

Christine smiled slightly and said, "Because I know I can't be of much help in combat, I studied this kind of auxiliary magic." After saying that, she began to chant the incantation for teleportation.

As children of God, they learn magic very quickly, and unlike humans, they don't need to chant long incantations. They can use magic with very short phrases in the divine language. Therefore, in less than three seconds, Christine finished chanting the teleportation spell. A golden pattern appeared on the ground and slowly unfolded into a magic circle about three or four meters in diameter. Then, with a flash of golden light, Christine, Adam, and the lizardman that Adam was holding disappeared.

The area near Second Street in Queens, New York, where Superman and the Lizard Giant had just fought, has been surrounded by a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, and they are currently in a standoff with a group of soldiers.

Major General Elias, a member of a special unit in the New York Military District, is rather arrogant because he entered the unit at a young age.

"Bring your manager out here! This big guy has been causing chaos in New York, we need to arrest him and put him in jail!"

Upon hearing Major General Elias's words, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Major General, I cannot agree to this. This is an order personally issued by our Director. If you need to take this person away, you will need a document personally signed by the President. Otherwise, I cannot allow you to take him away."

Elias snorted coldly and said, "Since when have we, as American soldiers, had to defer to an organization like yours on American soil? Hmph, take him away!"

Just then, a golden light suddenly flashed, and Adam and Christine, who was now dressed as a goddess, appeared before these people.

Adam looked around at the people, frowned, and asked, "What are you all doing?"

After Elias arrived at Adam, he said, "Ah? Isn't this Mr. Superman? Hello, my name is Elias Bush, and I am one of the directors of the chess club. It's nice to meet you."

Second update! Thank you to all my friends.

Typos are unavoidable. I check my work after each piece of writing, but some still remain. Please forgive me!

Chapter 155 I am not a slave to morality

Ps:

First update!!!

Adam paused, taken aback by Elias's words, and said, "Sorry, I don't like playing chess. Oh, and these lizardmen are all yours. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb your reunion." The last sentence was directed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents; clearly, he knew what Elias was up to but didn't want to get involved.

Elias's face immediately turned ugly after reading it, and he said, "Mr. Adam, what you're doing seems a bit inappropriate! This is New York City, after all, and your company is also in New York!"

Adam sneered and looked at Elias, saying each word clearly, "Are you threatening me? Mr. Elias, I know what this so-called chess department is, and you're just a deputy director. Before you threaten me, please go back and look at the information."

Adam has been getting increasingly annoyed lately by all sorts of inexplicable things. Although he has been trying to suppress his frustration with his rationality, he was still taken aback when a nobody he'd never even heard of dared to threaten him.

Elias was furious that his status was utterly useless in front of Adam. As a member of the Bush family, especially one of the most outstanding young members, he had been placed in the Chess Department, a new organization established by the military to handle special events, and he had just been selected as one of the bishops, which made him extremely proud. Therefore, Adam's attitude infuriated him, as he felt that Adam was showing no respect for him or the Bush family.

"Adam Stark, I hope you don't regret this!" As a member of the Bush family, he was not afraid of Adam Stark, nor was he afraid of the so-called Superman, because he believed that as long as one had power, one could make others serve one's purposes, and personal strength would not have any impact on the world.

It's not surprising that Elias thinks this way, given his young age. Well, Adam is also a young man, but their perspectives are different. Elias has always lived in high society; his family is a prominent political family. Therefore, his education focused on striving for the family's interests and prestige. The idea that family is above all else is deeply ingrained in him, and he is proud to be a member of the Bush family.

While Adam Stark was a member of House Stark, the so-called Stark family was seen by those politically minded families as nothing more than nouveau riche who had profited from the war. In reality, only two members of the Stark family remained. They were somewhat wary of Tony Stark and Adam Stark's influence and innate intelligence, but they didn't truly take them seriously. This is why Elias dared to threaten Adam in this way.

Upon hearing Elias's words, Adam sneered and left with the words, "If you've got the guts, make me regret this!" He then left with Christine. However, because he was extremely displeased with Elias, he specifically asked Athena to check Elias's information. They had only checked the so-called chess club information earlier; now they needed all of Elias's information from his entire life—any information existing online. Athena could find it all.

This wasn't because Adam feared Elias's retaliation; it was simply a matter of knowing oneself and one's enemy. He greatly admired a saying from a great leader of the Celestial Empire: "One can despise the enemy strategically, but one should not regard the enemy tactically." Hmm? That's roughly the idea.

Upon hearing Adam's words, Elias clenched his right fist tightly and whispered, "I'll show you the true power of Elias Bush, huh. I'll let you be happy for a few days, but you'll have your day. True. You are indeed a superhero, but your brother and your girlfriend aren't! Let's go, let's get out of here!" He spoke the last sentence loudly, addressing the people behind him.

The SHIELD field coordinator was a Level 6 agent. After seeing Elias leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, ordered his men to act quickly, and then called Nick Fury to report everything that had just happened.

On the Trident Building of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, upon hearing his subordinate's report, issued an immediate order to return. After hanging up, he laughed heartily in his office. He knew that the US military was increasingly distrustful of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to certain events, and had formed a special unit composed of 32 business executives. These 32 individuals were all high-ranking members of the unit, specializing in supernatural matters.

Nick Fury had felt some anger and helplessness regarding the establishment of the chess club, but S.H.I.E.L.D. was, after all, a world-class organization, not a US government intelligence agency, so the US government's distrust of them was understandable. Therefore, he had long been prepared to compete with them. However, he was surprised to hear about Elias and Adam's conversation today, which made him very happy. After all, seeing one's opponent suffer is always a satisfying thing, isn't it?

Moreover, he knew Elias's personality; he would definitely cause trouble for Adam later, and given Adam's temper, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily. Elias's misfortune was only a matter of time. Nick Fury didn't believe that the newly established chess club could have any impact on Adam. At that time, it would only make Adam hate the chess club even more, which was exactly the scene Nick Fury wanted to see.

Meanwhile, Adam and Christine had returned home. Christine asked worriedly, "Honey, that person seems to hold a grudge against you. You must be extra careful."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Just a clown. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he got into the chess club through his family background. He even wants to climb over me to get ahead. Humph, it seems I'm being underestimated."

Christine asked, "Chess Club? What exactly is that? And the other party's name we just heard seems to be from the Bush family. Are you sure this is alright?"

She wasn't worried about Adam's safety, but rather about other things. After all, although Adam was a superhero, he still had to live in the United States, and his partner was one of the more powerful political families in the country. Therefore, Christine was worried that this would be detrimental to Adam's other endeavors.

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. They can't touch me because they're afraid I'll leave the United States and become a citizen of another country. And although Elias is the most outstanding member of the Bush family, he's not highly regarded because of his personality. And even if he were, so what? If you push me too far, I can make the Bush family disappear from this world!"

Christine looked at Adam in surprise and said, "I can't believe you said that."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "I am a superhero, that's true, but I'm not a slave to morality. I only help the weak and those in need. As for those who oppose me, not killing them is already the greatest mercy I can show them. What? Are you scared by me?"

Christine shook her head, walked over and hugged Adam, saying, "No, I will support you no matter what decision you make, even if you go against the whole world, I will still stand by your side."

After hearing this, Adam kissed Christine and said, "Just hearing your words is enough. What does it matter if I'm at odds with the whole world with you by my side?"

Adam's tone was full of disdain and arrogance, but in Christine's eyes, Adam's image became more real. Adam was also a person, a flesh-and-blood person who truly existed in this world.

Christine's eyes were filled with love as she murmured, "I love you, Adam, I love you!"

Adam stroked Christine's delicate face, kissing her crystal-clear eyes again and again, and said, "I love you too! Christine, until the end of time, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!"

Christine's eyes gleamed with intense desire as she held Adam tightly, whispering in his ear, "I want you, Adam, right here, fiercely! Wildly! Give it to me now."

Adam saw the intense love and desire welling up in Christine's eyes, nodded slightly, and roughly tore off Christine's clothes. He then pulled back the curtains and began to seduce her wildly in the living room, filling the room with primal symphony.

Chapter 156 Dr. Connors Disappears

After hearing about the conflict between Adam and the newly established government chess department, Maria Hill worried that her boss, Nick Fury, might plot against Adam. Therefore, upon learning from the technicians that Adam had returned home with Christine, she hurriedly departed from headquarters for New York, partly to complete the task Nick Fury had just given her, and partly to warn Adam about the scheming of Elias and Nick Fury.

Because of Nick Fury's orders, and because Maria Hill's rank was high, she was already standing on the streets of New York about half an hour later. She originally planned to go directly to Adam's house, but after arriving in New York, she received a message from Athena saying that Adam was quite busy and asked her to come over in an hour.

Maria Hill knew that Adam usually enjoyed doing his own research, so when she saw this message, she assumed that Adam was conducting some kind of experiment. So she found a coffee shop and bookstore not far from Adam's house and spent an hour reading while drinking coffee.

Just then, the voices of a young couple caught Maria Hill's attention. They were speaking very softly, probably to avoid being overheard, but that didn't faze her. One of the young men was one of their key targets, and she had just overheard a few crucial words. So, Maria Hill took out a miniature earpiece from her small bag and inserted it into her ear. This was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s inventions, capable of listening to sounds within a 200-meter radius. Of course, extracting the desired information from so many sounds was a skill only agents could use; therefore, this invention was practically useless to ordinary people and couldn't be widely adopted.

In a corner about fifty or sixty meters away from Maria Hill, a young man and woman were reading books and chatting quietly. They spoke very softly, afraid of disturbing others.

“Gwen, did you hear that? It was those lizardmen mentioned in the news just now. Actually, I know how those lizardmen were formed.”

The young woman named Gwen was taken aback by her boyfriend's words and asked, "What? Peter, do you know how those lizardmen were formed?"

That's right, this young couple is Spider-Man Peter Parker and his girlfriend Gwen Stacy. They were preparing for graduation when they saw the news about the Lizard Man. Peter Parker, believing it was all his fault, started blaming himself after seeing the Lizard Man's rampage. His girlfriend noticed and asked him about it, leading to the conversation above.

Peter Parker lowered his head and said, "Yes, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been investigating my parents' death, perhaps these lizardmen wouldn't have appeared, and those people wouldn't have been injured."

Gwen Stacy asked疑惑地, "You keep saying this is your fault, but you haven't said why you say that, or what happened. What does this have to do with you?"

Peter Parker sighed and said, “I didn’t go to O’S Corporation last time to follow you. Don’t roll your eyes, I’m telling the truth. I went there to investigate the cause of my parents’ death. I found out that before my parents left home and had the accident, they were working on a project for O’S Corporation, and that project is the one that Dr. Connors is currently researching—the interspecies genetic inheritance project. That’s why I went to O’S Corporation to investigate.”

Gwen Stacy, upon hearing this, exclaimed in realization, "Oh, I see. But what do these things have to do with the lizardmen? You're not saying these lizardmen are the result of Dr. Connors's research, are you? I've heard of that research. It seems Dr. Connors's first proposal was rejected by Mr. Adam Stark, and many genetic samples were modified. It should still be under research." As a high-achieving student who had interned at Auschwitz Corporation for a long time, it wasn't surprising that she knew some things about the company.

After hearing Gwen Stacy's words, Peter Parker sighed and said, "That's right, Dr. Connors told me about these things. You remember, right? At that time, I caught Dr. Connors' attention by saying some things. Actually, I had seen the materials my father left behind. It seemed that Dr. Connors was involved in the research project at that time. Therefore, I wanted to get the truth about my parents' accidental death from him. So, when I met Dr. Connors for the second time, I wrote down a formula that my father had written in his notebook for him."

Gwen Stacy stared wide-eyed in shock and asked, "You didn't write down the genetic formula for the mature stage of cross-species genetic inheritance, did you? I remember hearing some rumors at O'S Corporation that someone had succeeded with this project before, and Dr. Connors seemed to have conducted his research based on that person's incomplete data."

Peter Parker gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, I wrote down the genetic formula for the most mature cross-species genetic inheritance technology for him. Only now do I understand why my father destroyed the data and prepared to leave the United States after the success. It's because this thing is not cross-species genetic inheritance at all, but a terrible formula that fundamentally changes human genes. My father probably left New York in a hurry to prevent such a terrible technology from falling into the hands of others. I remember that our house was robbed once before my parents left."

Gwen Stacy nodded in agreement upon hearing Peter Parker's analysis, saying, "Very likely. Oh, Peter, don't be sad. You didn't mean it that way. You just wanted to know the truth about your parents' accident." She then reached out and took Peter Parker's slightly cold hand, offering him silent comfort.

Peter Parker gave a wry smile and said, "I know, but the thought that this might have started because of me makes me feel a little guilty."

After hearing this, Gwen Stacy said, "Let's talk to Dr. Connors tomorrow. Maybe this isn't what the doctor meant at all. I know that person, and he's not that kind of person."

Peter Parker said, "I know the Doctor isn't that kind of person, but since he used lizard genes, he must have inherited some of the cold-blooded and cruel aspects of those genes. I'm afraid the Doctor we're seeing isn't the same person we knew."

Gaze Stacy shook her head and said, "It's also possible that Dr. Connors did this. After all, there are so many people in the company, it's possible that someone stole the doctor's information. So we should try calling Dr. Connors first."

Peter Parker nodded and said, "Alright, I'll call the Doctor now." After saying that, he waited a while, but his expression changed from tense to tense, giving Gwen Stacy a bad feeling.

"What exactly happened?"

Peter Parker said with a grave expression, "The doctor didn't answer the phone at all, and I just called his home, but no one answered either. Dr. Connors may have already had an accident. No, I have to go and check on him."

After hearing this, Gwen Stacy said, "I understand. You go ahead first, I'll hail a taxi and be there shortly."

Peter Parker stood up, packing his things as he said, "Okay, be careful on the road. You go to the company first, I'll go to his house." Then he hurriedly left.

On the other side, Maria Hill removed her earplugs with a serious expression and said in a low voice, "So there's something else going on here. But I remember we had people monitoring Dr. Connors when the incident happened. Why didn't anyone inform us that Dr. Connors had disappeared?"

Somewhat puzzled, she called the team members who were on the mission, only to find that they didn't answer. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly called Nick Fury to report the situation.

On the other end of the phone, Nick Fury, after hearing Maria Hill's words, said, "I understand. I'll delegate this to someone else. You should finish the task I told you about before."

Maria Hill nodded and said, "I understand. It's been about an hour. I think Adam should have finished his business by now. I'll call him again and then head over."

Nick Fury nodded and said, "Yes, we must complete this mission at any cost!" He then hung up the phone. Clearly, the previous incident had caused him to misunderstand something, but Maria Hill didn't intend to explain. As a smart woman, she knew how to leverage situations. She believed that as long as Adam Stark retained his current strength, Nick Fury wouldn't be able to harm her. To be continued...

Ps:

The second update is a little late because something happened that caused the delay!

Chapter 157 The Super Prison Project

After leaving the coffee shop, Maria Hill picked up her phone and called Adam. Soon, Adam's voice came through the phone.
