He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Tony nodded, then continued to ponder, "...But there shouldn't be only clues of this level. With so many people and ghosts existing in the world, they must have left traces of their existence. As long as we search carefully, we will definitely find clues."

At this point, he raised his right hand and pointed it at the smartwatch on his wrist, saying, "Jarvis, give me a global search for clues about demons and the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Sir, we found over 136,000 results, all of them are Japanese legends and films!"

"Automatic filtering removes fictional legends and information from film and television works."

"Sir, the screening has been completed!"

The smartwatch projected a table filled with numerous clues.

Vampires, mummies, ghosts, death messengers... This table presents clues or information pointing to all sorts of legendary creatures... Most of them are fictional legends, but many are also based on fact.

For example, the registrants of several companies.

The companies are nothing special, except that they were registered every hundred years from the 15th century to the present.

However, the registrant's name is the same.

This information is extremely confidential; it would be absolutely impossible to find without a highly advanced intelligent program like Jarvis.

There are also properties that have existed for 1,200 years, and their legal representatives have never changed.

Some of these are even government-owned businesses.

For example, many people have seen skeleton riders covered in flames riding motorcycles at night.

"Heh..." Tony chuckled. "There's more truth hidden in this world than you might imagine!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Action

I originally just wanted to search for information related to demons and the Demon Slayer Corps, but I didn't expect to find so much random stuff.

This information was highly confidential and absurd. If Tony hadn't known about "ghosts," these supernatural beings, he would have definitely thought it was a prank by some weirdo.

But now, he believes it.

He conducted an in-depth investigation, categorized all the information, and then further considered and searched for evidence to verify its authenticity.

Ultimately, he obtained some information that was largely authentic.

The Hand, the Sincere Society, the Vampire Empire, Blade, Ghost Rider, and the existence of a suspected demon...

These are all phenomena that defy common sense, and they may even offer solutions to one's physical condition.

However, there is very little information available online. Apart from the possibility that turning into a vampire can completely resolve palladium poisoning, other possibilities require further investigation.

But turning into a vampire... how is that any different from becoming a ghost?

If he wanted to become a vampire, he would have agreed to Tamayo's conditions and become a demon long ago.

However, although he couldn't find a definitive solution, Tony did find information about ghosts.

Last night, the police received a case.

In the wealthy residential area of ​​Greenwich Village, a family was attacked by Blade Runners. The homeowners were all brutally murdered, and their bodies were even gnawed and mutilated.

This case raised Tony's doubts.

According to Jarvis, Blade was a ruthless guy who would kill ordinary people nearby without regard for his own safety, but he would never attack ordinary people.

Moreover, Blade is half-vampire and half-human.

Even if he did suck blood, he wouldn't gnaw on human corpses.

Therefore, the perpetrator who attacked that family was someone else, and Blade was simply rushing in to hunt down his target.

So who is the murderer?

Having just learned about demons through Tamayo, and with the impression still fresh in his mind, the first thing that came to his mind when he saw the words "corpse eaten" in the case file was demons.

“Jarvis, contact the NYPD for me. I need to know more about this case!” Tony said.

There is too little information available online; he needs to obtain further information from the police station.

……

While Tony was conducting his investigation, Coulson returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to report to Fury.

"...That's all there is to it."

"Hmm, I understand." Fury pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "But in that case, it's not too bad."

"It's not too bad, really."

Coulson responded with a sigh of relief, "Although I guessed from the beginning that he had extraordinary abilities, I didn't expect that in addition to the superpower to obtain information, he also had the ability to conjure objects out of thin air and surpass Superman's speed, strength, and skills. He is extremely dangerous. If such a guy were to do evil, I don't know how much disaster he would cause."

“Your worries are unnecessary.” Fury glanced at him and said, “If he were a law-abiding citizen, he wouldn’t have refused your arrest; if he’s not law-abiding but doesn’t want to do evil, he wouldn’t have turned to evil because of this conflict. Besides, he knows that our arrest is also for his protection; and if he’s a wicked person, he would still do evil even without this test.”

"That makes sense, but when he drew his sword at us, we were still terrified..."

As he spoke, Coulson unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a body wrapped in bandages, with a long bloodstain running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.

"In just a moment, such a long gash was cut into the agents, including myself, who were standing in eight different directions. I was really worried that someone of that caliber would be forced to the side of evil."

"But now it seems your worries were unnecessary."

"Yes, he held back. The knife wound was large, but it was shallow, just a superficial injury."

"I understand. Upgrade that guy's file to S-rank and mark him as someone you shouldn't mess with."

"Yes."

After Coulson accepted the order, Fury nodded slightly, then changed the subject and asked, "So, where is Tony? Where did he go with Gu Qing?"

"All we know is that he drove to Hell's Kitchen and stopped for a long time on the street at the intersection of the 10th and 50th blocks. As for himself, he went into the alleyway on the street with Gu Qing. The specific details are unknown."

"Have Natasha find out where they went."

"understand!"

"A new guy just joined his shop. Have they checked his identity yet?"

“No.” Coulson shook his head with a wry smile. “Currently, all we know about him is that his name is ‘Otto Suvin’ through Daredevil. We can’t find out where he came from, when he arrived, or about his family background, just like with Gu Qing, the guy who’s suspected of being a ghost, and the Vongola Family.”

"Whoo~"

Fury took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, "They're all like this, I wonder what their relationship is."

After saying that, Fury fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he continued, "We must catch one of them and get to the bottom of this. Have we found any trace of those fourteen people who are suspected of being ghosts?"

“Yes.” Coulson pondered, “Through surveillance footage and on-site tracking, we have located the positions of six guys, one of whom encountered Blade last night.”

"The results of it?"

“I don’t know.” Coulson shook his head slightly. “They fought in a villa in Greenwich Village. No one saw the specific process, but people in nearby villas witnessed him breaking through the wall and escaping.”

"So, does that mean he lost?"

A look of seriousness appeared on Fury's face.

Although Blade is not widely known, his strength is no secret within S.H.I.E.L.D., and his power is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

But even a powerful warrior who possesses the combined advantages of vampires and humans could only run away by crashing into a wall. How terrifying must the enemy be?

"...most likely so."

After Coulson finished speaking, he felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.

Even a superhuman like Blade could only run away, so how could ordinary people like them really handle the enemy?

Even if it were possible, how many lives would be lost at the cost?

"...Go contact Blade, I need to know the enemy's intelligence."

"Yes!"

"Also, have Hill come to my office."

"Ok."

……

A short while later, Hill arrived at the office.

"Chief Fury, is there something you need?"

"How's it going with the Vongola family?" Fury asked, getting straight to the point.

"They are still renovating an abandoned church in Harlem."

"Send someone to make contact with them, and if possible, try to join them."

"learn!"

After watching Hill leave the office, Fury took out the quantum communicator that Carol had given him and examined it.

After a long pause, he sighed and said, "I hope things aren't so bad that we'll have to use this."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Destruction and Submission

Harlem district, abandoned cathedral.

This place was originally a Catholic church, but due to historical reasons, it was abandoned and everything became dilapidated.

But with the arrival of the Vongola family, everything changed.

Although they were a mafia group, this group possessed skills that surpassed those of top-tier architectural engineers and construction workers.

Even more amazingly, the baby named "Verdy" used readily available materials, specifically steel from the basement of an abandoned church, to build a magical machine that could efficiently recycle waste and transform it into the most basic materials.

Then the family members became workers, demolishing and rebuilding the church. In just one morning, the outline of the villa garden could be vaguely seen.

This level of infrastructure development capability is something even China would have to admit defeat to.

James Wesley, who was sent to negotiate a collaboration with the Vongola family, was completely dumbfounded.

If you have such talent, why did you become a member of the Mafia?
