Superman Marvel Adventures

Upon hearing this, James's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Miss Paris, I think there's a good chance that someone among us is the mastermind behind this! Otherwise, how could they have known about Adam's departure and chosen this time to act!"

Paris nodded after hearing this and said, "Very likely. It seems that this matter has been planned for a long time. He must have known that Adam doesn't like to attend parties and that even if he does, he leaves early. That's why he arranged this operation. It seems that he is a very decisive person."

Tony replied, "In that case, we need to speed things up, otherwise our plans could very well be ruined by him!"

James gritted his teeth and said, "Tony, leave the commotion to me. After all, I'm a soldier, and I might be able to react when a sniper is aiming at me. I've been on the battlefield before, so I have some experience and the ability to anticipate danger."

Tony shook his head and said, "That won't do, Rhodes. It's not that I'm trying to be a hero, it's just because I trust Adam. Besides, I've prepared the means to send the message. Although they've blocked the signal for the entire building, I don't think they'll block the outside signal to avoid being detected; at most, they'll weaken it a bit. I have a locator my brother gave me, which I use to send him a distress message in an emergency. Also, the glasses I'm wearing can interfere with the calibration of a sniper's electronic sight, so don't argue with me!" After saying that, he waved his hand and carefully walked to the window. After all, although his glasses had a function to interfere with sniper rifles, he wouldn't be so careless as to expose himself to a sniper's aim.

Ps:

I apologize for these past few days; I've been incredibly busy at work. Sorry!

Chapter 169 Hotel Attack 3

Watching Tony walk towards the window, Paris wanted to say something but found herself unable to speak. However, she felt a surge of pride that the Stark family had produced two true men. Since Tony was already prepared to do the most dangerous things, Paris wouldn't let his efforts go to waste. She immediately decided to invite some other heirs from prominent families, like herself, to discuss how to deal with the upcoming challenges.

Of course, there were some things Paris didn't intend to reveal. After all, there was a potential mole among them—the mastermind behind the attack. If she were to accidentally eliminate the missing method and cause Tony's operation to fail, the consequences would be unimaginable. www.c66c.com

While Paris was thinking about these things, Tony had already reached the window. Because the auditorium was dimly lit, no one noticed Tony's movements. In addition, Paris was performing there, so no one paid attention to Tony's actions, which made Tony breathe a sigh of relief.

He pressed himself close to the window, moving cautiously to find a spot where he could avoid a second sniper shot. After all, although the glasses Adam had given him had many functions, they were still just small items, and it was impossible to add more protective measures to them. Being able to block one sniper shot was already quite good.

Tony stood under the window, gradually calming his somewhat erratic breathing, and listened intently to the sounds outside. Just then, he suddenly felt a pricking sensation. Combining this with what Adam had said during his training, Tony knew that this was his body issuing a warning because it had detected danger. Therefore, Tony knew without looking that the sniper was aiming at his location.

Sensing the intense killing intent, Tony felt a surge of relief. Had Adam not enhanced his body, he would likely have been killed instantly by a sniper. After all, the walls here weren't built to defend against snipers and couldn't possibly stop a sniper's fire. This was why Tony volunteered; he believed his superhuman strength would allow him to evade the sniper's blind fire.

Tony moved slowly until he found a window where he didn't feel the chilling murderous aura. He quickly opened the window and, within a third of a second, threw the signal transmitter he was holding. The instant he threw the transmitter, he suddenly felt as if he had been locked onto by something. His hearing, several times better than that of a superhuman, immediately recognized the sound of a bullet being fired. He instantly threw away his glasses and rolled to the other side.

Before Tony could even catch his breath, he heard a soft "whoosh" sound. It was the sound of a sniper bullet being drawn to the special goggles Adam had given him, colliding in mid-air. Tony was incredibly grateful to his brother; without the goggles, although he could avoid fatal hits, he would definitely have been struck by the sniper. However, he wasn't safe now, as he was still quite close to the window. Protecting himself before Adam arrived was Tony's next priority.

On the rooftop across the street, Shenyan kept a close eye on the windows, lest he be tricked again by the spoiled brats inside. Just then, he saw one of the outermost windows suddenly move. Shenyan sneered, fired a shot without even looking, but the expected scene didn't happen. There was no one behind that window; instead, another window quickly opened, and a very small object was thrown out. Shenyan, forgetting his mockery, fired again, shattering the object thrown from the hotel. He then fired another shot at the hotel window, but something he never expected happened. What did he see? He saw his bullet, just before hitting its target, curve and collide with something he couldn't believe. Shenyan couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"What on earth happened? Does that guy have some special ability? Damn it, what are those guys in the intelligence department doing! But at least we've destroyed what he threw out. Hmph, there won't be another chance like this next time!" He muttered a few words to calm himself down, and then picked up his sniper rifle again.

However, this divine eye may not know that right after Tony threw the signal transmitter out, the intelligent program inside the transmitter had already transmitted the events that happened in the hotel to Athena with the faint signal. Athena immediately told Adam, who was searching the world for Christine, about this.

Adam was furious upon hearing the news. In this world, the only people he cared about were Tony and Christine. How could Adam not be angry that someone was planning to harm his brother? He left Athena with the words "I will be back soon" and then disappeared.

Enraged, Adam moved with incredible speed, reaching the Hilton Tower in just three minutes. He spotted Divine Eye and his sniper squad lurking on the opposite building. With a cold snort, he casually pulled out steel balls he had just gotten from a street vendor and flicked his wrist, accurately piercing the sniper rifles and wrists of the snipers, causing them to scream in pain.

Adam's face was cold and ruthless. These people's actions had deeply crossed his bottom line, so although he didn't kill them, this was even more cruel than killing them. Under normal circumstances, Adam would have interrogated them and asked Athena to check their information. However, in his rage, Adam simply bound these people tightly with steel bars, inserting the other end of the bars into the building wall, leaving them hanging in mid-air.

Adam didn't even glance at the group of people. He used his X-ray vision to check the location of the mercenaries, then flew towards them with a whoosh, smashing through the wall in his path and violently arriving in front of the mercenaries.

"Is it you people who want to hurt my brother?" The deep voice revealed just how furious Adam was at this moment.

The mercenaries were almost finished wiping out the group of bodyguards when they suddenly heard a roar and the building shaking behind them. Just as they turned around to see what was happening, Adam floated in through the breach with a cold expression.

"Damn it, it's Superman!"

"Damn it, didn't he say Superman had already left? How could this be?"

"Tony Stark, damn it, why didn't these guys consider that Tony Stark is still in there? What are we going to do?"

Upon hearing Adam's words and seeing his face, the group of mercenaries collapsed. They no longer had the will to resist him. After all, Superman's achievements were evident to all of humanity, referring specifically to his rescues of people and battles against terrorists. His body, which seemed impervious to bullets, had already broken the resolve of some of the weaker mercenaries. It wasn't for any other reason than that these mercenaries were confident because of their weapons. But now, facing such an invulnerable opponent, how could they not break down?

Adam looked at the mercenaries' expressions with a cold smile and said indifferently, "Cowardly scoundrels!" After saying that, he threw the steel ball in his hand at those people again, leaving behind a group of mercenaries who had been beaten to a pulp, and continued to walk forward, because Adam knew that the most elite part of the mercenaries had already reached the entrance of the auditorium.

Adam walked quickly forward, riddling every mercenary he encountered with steel balls, turning them into sieves one by one. Of course, his bottom line remained the same: never kill! Leaving behind a field of screaming mercenaries, he walked forward without changing his expression. Soon he saw a group of seven mercenaries. After killing the last bodyguard, he planted a bomb on the auditorium door, intending to blow open the door that Paris and the others had locked from the inside.

Because Adam was incredibly fast, not only in his movement speed but also in his ability to cripple enemies, by the time the elite mercenaries realized something was wrong and prepared to be on guard, Adam had already reached the doorway, reached out and removed the bombs stuck to it, then casually tossed them at the mercenaries.

"What? Superman?! Damn it, retreat!" Their leader was only able to utter these words before being blasted away by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Adam glanced at the mercenaries stunned by the bomb, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on his lips. He said, "I didn't expect you guys to be mutants. Hmph, put away your pathetic illusions. These small-scale illusions are useless against me!"

A voice drifted slowly from the void: "As expected of Superman, I knew this illusion wouldn't work on you. However, my purpose isn't to trap you, but merely to stall you. Well then, until we meet again, Mr. Superman!"

Chapter 170 Nine Fox Mercenaries

Adam sneered and said, "You guys are really something. I didn't invite you here, but you came uninvited. I was going to keep you here, but you want to leave peacefully. Do you think there's any logic to this world?"

The voice in the void said calmly, "Perhaps it will happen, perhaps it won't. Of course, if my strength were greater than yours, such a thing would certainly not happen. Unfortunately, my strength is not as great as yours, so I don't want to have a pointless battle with you."

Adam snorted and said, "Unfortunately, I'm in a bad mood right now, so please stay and have some fun with me!" With that, his eyes turned red and a beam of heat shot out towards an empty space.

Suddenly, a muffled groan came from the other side, and then a ripple appeared where there had been no one before. A pale-faced person appeared, and behind him were six people, three men and three women, all staring at Adam with solemn expressions.

The pale-faced man, who seemed to be the leader, coughed and asked, "Can't you really let us go? We don't seem to have hurt your brother yet, and he's not our target. We wouldn't hurt him! After all, we know that your brother is the one you care about most right now."

Adam laughed after hearing this, "You know I care about my brother? Heh, you know that and you still dare to mess with me? What are you doing? Oh, I know, you're gambling! You people are gambling on my mercy, haha, how ridiculous. It seems that in some people's eyes I'm a very foolish superhero." Although it was a question, Adam spoke with an affirmative tone, as if he was mocking and doubting the person who thought he understood him.

The pale man's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said, "That's not what we meant. Besides, we're just mercenaries; we work for whoever pays us."

Upon hearing the pale-faced man's words, the burly man behind him immediately shouted, "Silver Fox, what nonsense are you talking to him about! Hmph, we were just about to leave because we didn't want to fight him. After all, we're just doing this for money, and they didn't say we'd encounter Superman, so we decided to take on this mission. Hmph, don't think we're afraid of you; it's only because the money they paid us wasn't enough to deal with you!"

Adam said calmly, "It seems you are very confident in your strength. In that case, let's have a fight. If you can defeat me, then it's up to you whether you leave or continue your mission!"

The young woman behind Silver Fox coldly replied, "Don't look down on me. It's true what they say, 'When the cat's away, the mice will play.' Hmph, do you think you're invincible just because no one in the city can beat you? You've never encountered the real underworld. Hmph, don't even mention us attacking together, I alone can defeat you!" As she finished speaking, a faint purple light flickered around her.

Silver Fox frowned upon hearing this and said, "Purple Fox, don't be careless. He's someone who has even defeated Magneto. He's not some rookie like Spider-Man who hasn't been to the battlefield."

The woman named Purple Arc sneered, "Hmph, I don't believe it. I want to see what he's capable of!" With that, she waved her hands and a purple light instantly struck Adam.

"Hmph. Not very capable at all. He couldn't even block my ordinary attack. It seems Magneto is getting old." Seeing that her casual attack had hit Adam, Purple Fox's face immediately turned disdainful. She felt that the other party was all talk and no action.

The middle-aged man who had been standing at the back without opening his eyes suddenly spoke up: "Purple Fox, be careful. What's in front of you is just an afterimage!"

Upon hearing this, Purple Fox was immediately startled and asked, "What?" Before she could speak, she was suddenly punched and sent flying.

Almost instantly, Adam appeared where Purple Fox had just stood, casually waving his hand and saying, "Ultraviolet rays? Heh, that's certainly a decent ability, but it's still not enough for me. However, you're quite good; you were able to sense my location. Unfortunately, although you could sense my location, you were still a step too slow."

The man with his eyes closed smiled slightly and said, "That's right, my voice can't keep up with your speed, but that doesn't matter, because our tacit understanding is even faster than your speed!" As soon as he finished speaking, Adam found himself surrounded by a strange energy, and this energy was full of resilience. No matter how Adam tore at it, he couldn't break free.

Silver Fox watched Adam's actions and said calmly, "No need to try. You can't break free from this energy shield. This is a unique ability of us white foxes. It's not something you can just break free of!"

Purple Fox, who had just been knocked away by Adam, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said hatefully, "Hmph, I deliberately provoked you to trick you, just to buy time for White Fox. Didn't expect that, did you? We Nine Fox Mercenaries aren't clueless newbies who have survived until now!"

Adam nodded and said, "Ah, I see. So you use tactics in addition to force? No wonder you're called foxes. But since you're called Nine Foxes, there are only seven of you here. Where are the other two? Oh no, damn it, are you stalling for time?!"

He suddenly realized that he had done something irrational in his anger, running into the Hilton Hotel before figuring out the enemy's background. Now, Adam had lost contact with Athena and had also fallen into their trap. If two of them went to the auditorium, Tony would definitely be in mortal danger!

Silver Fox said calmly, "That's right. Sound Fox and Enchantress Fox have already gone. Our Nine Fox Mercenaries have always had a 100% mission completion rate. We won't take action unless we're confident. Moreover, we will carefully analyze our enemies before taking action. We will never rush in recklessly without even knowing the identity of the other party!"

Purple Fox sneered, "I really don't know whether to call you brain-dead or overconfident. Hmph, you don't actually think that people like you are capable in this world, do you? Hmph, you frog in a well!"

Adam sighed softly after hearing this and said, "Sigh, I really don't want to use this ability, but you guys are making me really angry right now!" After saying that, he took out a little powder from his multi-functional belt and gently inhaled it. Adam's expression changed instantly, and with a "Achoo!!!" Adam sneezed violently. Immediately, the energy shield that was bothering Adam was destroyed, and a cold air instantly swept through the entire space, freezing Purple Fox and the middle-aged man with his eyes closed into ice pops before they could react.

Although Silver Fox reacted quickly, the speed and temperature of Adam's sneeze were at their peak. Almost instantly, half of Silver Fox's body was surrounded by a meter-thick layer of ice. Only a woman in red, radiating a red glow, managed to block Adam's attack. The others were either completely frozen or had most of their bodies frozen. After all, Adam's ability to attack like this was truly unexpected.

Adam rubbed his nose, took a deep breath, and said, "Ugh, the taste of pepper is really unpleasant. I'll never use this stuff again. Oh well, never mind all that. I'd better go find Tony and the others. I wonder where those two foxes are hiding." After saying that, he casually knocked out the few fox mercenaries who looked resentful, then left and walked into the auditorium.

The lights in the auditorium had been turned on by this time, and everyone looked uneasy. When Adam walked in, some people subconsciously took a few steps back, and then when they realized that it was Adam who had entered, they breathed a sigh of relief and fainted.

Adam checked on the people in the auditorium, then walked up to Tony and asked, "Tony, are you alright?"

Although Tony looked a bit disheveled, he was in surprisingly good spirits. He laughed and said, "It's okay, hey, you have no idea how cool I looked when I threw the signal transmitter you gave me. It's a pity all the lights were off, otherwise a few women would definitely have offered themselves to me."

Adam breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you can say such a thing, it proves you're alright, hehe." After saying that, he subtly checked the auditorium but found nothing, which puzzled him greatly. Was the other person not here? Or did I miss something?

At this moment, Paris walked to Adam's side and whispered, "Thank you for your help, Adam. If it weren't for you saving us, I don't know how we would have gotten out of this crisis."

Adam shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. My brother and you are all here, how could I not come? By the way, I haven't seen Nicky. Why isn't she here?"

Adam finally realized what was wrong: Nikki was missing. No wonder something felt off. If Nikki were here, she would definitely take this opportunity to hide in Adam's arms. Adam was certain that Nikki would do that.

Ps:

Second update. Whew, due to various reasons, I've had to skip or reduce updates. Suddenly, a feeling of laziness has quietly risen up again, almost making me lie down and rest.

Chapter 171 Searching for Nikki

Hearing Adam ask about her sister, Paris paused slightly, then said, "Nikki? Wasn't she just here? Could it be..." Her expression instantly changed, as if she had suddenly realized something.

Adam nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I didn't find Nicky in here. It seems he's been kidnapped. Damn it. And I suspect you're part of someone else's group. Don't show anything unusual. Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Nicky!"

Paris composed herself and said, "I understand. I'll leave Nicky to you." She then walked up to the group, picked up the microphone, and began her speech.

"We are very sorry for what happened today, but please rest assured that we will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation! As for now, thanks to Mr. Superman's help, we are safe. Please leave the hotel through the other door. We will take care of the rest."

Tony stood beside Adam and said with a smile, "If it weren't for what happened today, I wouldn't have known about this side of Paris Haiyou. You weren't there and didn't see the performance of these scions of noble families. Their wisdom and composure were completely different from usual. They truly deserve to be called heirs."

Adam said calmly, "Large families have deep roots, so this is not surprising. By the way, did you notice anything unusual just now? Two more people from the other side have already infiltrated your ranks, and I noticed that Nicky is missing. Sigh, if only Christine were here, her magic would be more useful in situations like this."

Tony shook his head and said, "Nothing unusual was found. Of course, if the sounds coming from the bathroom on the second floor were normal, then there really is nothing unusual."

Adam asked, "Sound? What sound? Describe it in detail. Now, every seemingly insignificant place could be a crucial clue."

Tony's expression changed slightly after hearing this. He said, "I was being naive. Let me think. I remember when you came in just now, a man and a woman were walking towards the second-floor bathroom, embracing each other. I thought they were going to vent their fear, so I didn't pay much attention. Then, because I heard moaning sounds coming from there, I stopped listening. Could there really be something wrong with those two?"

Adam glanced at the restroom Tony mentioned, his expression darkening slightly. "There's no one inside, but there's a recording pen. Looks like they left it there. They seem to have a very detailed plan! Hmph. This is the first time I've encountered such provocation. I'll go check it out. Be careful, and it's best not to stay outside and go straight home."

Tony rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm in the mood right now? I'm going back. Be careful yourself. Of course, if Nicky has any news, give me a call."

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. Oh, and tell Paris not to worry, I'll definitely find Nicky!" Then he vanished in a flash.

Tony shrugged and said, "Still can't see it. Oh well, it seems the path of a hero isn't for me. I'll stick to being an arms dealer and a playboy." He then walked over to Paris, who was arranging for her subordinates to be sent away in the future.

"What about Adam? Is he...?" Paris paused for a moment. But Tony already understood what she meant.

Tony nodded slightly and said, "That's right, he's already gone out. But he told you not to worry, nothing will happen, you have to trust my brother!"

Paris breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved now. I hope Nicky will return safely." She then let out a soft sigh.

After reading it, Tony patted Paris on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Nicky will be fine. This matter won't end like this. If you need any help in the future, just give me a call. Of course, you can also call my brother. There are some things that you can't easily find out, but I think Athena will definitely be able to find out."

Paris had visited Adam's house a few times, but only as a guest, so she knew of Athena's existence. When Tony suggested asking Athena for help, she was overjoyed and said, "Yes, if we can get Athena's help, I think our investigation will definitely be much faster."

Tony laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know Athena very well, and I don't think my brother will let them get away with this so easily. I could feel that he was really angry just now. I've never seen him so angry before."

Paris sighed softly and said, "You are his only brother, how could he not be angry? Sigh, actually I am also very worried about Nicky's safety, but now that Adam is gone, I can rest assured."

Tony nodded and said, "Well, it's getting late. I'll head back now. You should get some rest too. Rest for a hundred years and wait for my brother's news."

Paris looked at the crowd that was almost gone and said, "Yes, we really should take a break. Be careful on your way, because we really don't know who their purpose is."

Tony's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and he said, "Well, be careful yourself, and it's best not to let your bodyguard stray too far from you." After saying goodbye to Paris, he left the hotel.

On the other side, Adam had already inspected the area and, based on some very minor clues left at the scene, concluded that the remaining two members of the so-called Nine Fox Mercenaries should still be in the hotel. He frowned slightly and went to a room in the middle of the Hilton Hotel building. He sat cross-legged on the bed. Don't worry, he wasn't planning to cultivate any Eastern divine skills or use any legendary divine sense or other random powers. He was just doing this to concentrate his attention so that he could find the enemy's whereabouts more accurately.

Adam discovered by chance that he could hear any sound within a ten-kilometer radius when he focused intently on listening. However, the sudden exposure to so many sounds made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he almost fainted the first time. As a result, Adam became quite averse to this ability, as he found it impossible to control. He could hear all the sounds as long as he concentrated, and if he wanted to hear the sound he was looking for, he had to endure the onslaught of noisy background noise.
