Lord of Cinder in American Comics

"Withhold a month's bonus from Igor! Wait for me, I'll be there soon..."

Ash sighed, lamenting his life of toil, and boarded the helicopter heading to the Control Bureau. After all, the Control Bureau didn't have anyone capable of confronting the two big guys head-on. What if they wreaked havoc at the Control Bureau? Even though Ash's money came from robbing Yhorm, he couldn't just squander it like that!

Upon arriving at the Control Center, Ash found it completely on high alert. Peter Parker, the seemingly strongest guy, had been positioned outside the Abomination and Hulk's detention center, ready to strike at any moment to delay the evacuation of the others.

Anderson went a bit too far, placing the two massive machines in the armory and deliberately piling most of the high-energy explosives inside.

The armory's defenses can delay the arrival of the two behemoths; explosives are merely a last resort when all else fails.

Upon seeing Ash, Anderson handed him a tablet and said, "The most powerful green guy hasn't woken up yet, but that Bronsky guy, his body is very strange. His spine is already healing, and according to calculations, he will be fully recovered in less than forty-eight hours."

The current control bureau cannot guarantee the safety of Bronsky's detention. I am contacting other departments to inquire if they have any high-security prisons that can assist in his detention, but only the Bureau of Investigation has replied, saying that they need to clear out a secret location before they can assist in the detention..."

Abomination was defeated and placed in a cryogenic chamber in Alaska by Ross. He was not released until 2024. After that, Abomination went to fight in underground boxing matches and even became friends with the Mystic King.

Ross had also hoped that Abomination would join the Avengers, but Coulson, Silverton, and Stark stopped him, which made Hulk a potential candidate.

Under Ross's influence, Ash actually prefers hatred. As a soldier, Bronsky can obey orders and follow discipline. Although he has an uncontrollable desire for power, Ash believes that his fists can make Bronsky obey.

Compared to Abomination, Hulk is in a more difficult position. Although it's a cinematic universe, Hulk was actually defeated by the purple potato monster, and without the Gamma Universe, there's no need to worry about the appearance of Green Scar.

However, Hulk is just an immature child, completely influenced by his own anger. Until he learns to communicate and control his power, Hulk is the biggest threat.

After thinking it over, Ash decided to deal with Hulk first and send him to a place where he wouldn't affect Earth for the time being.

He gave Anderson a wink, and Anderson understood, so he removed the guards from the armory and turned off the internal surveillance.

Ash waited until Anderson had finished all that before taking out a tattered cloth from his pocket and coming to Hulk.

The painted world belonging to Ariandel still looks like that icy world at the bottom of the painting. No one goes there to eat snow for no reason. It's more than enough for imprisoning and disciplining Hulk.

Furthermore, regarding the promise made by the King of Souls, the students who have submitted to him haven't even had a chance to leave Dragon Academy yet, so they are even less afraid that the King of Souls will discover the secret.

When the fragment of the painting world was placed on Hulk's body, a flash of light appeared, and Hulk was sucked into the fragment.

In fact, the City of Sin is the best choice for imprisoning super criminals. Even Ash would not want to face those jailers with branding irons.

But what Hulk needs now is guidance, and the easygoing and portly Knight Millwood, just like Hulk, is his best mentor.

Anyway, they're the kind of people who start punching each other at the drop of a hat, and the Knights of Millwood's powerful physique allows them to teach Hulk a lesson.

With that in mind, Ash asked Anderson, "Do we need our own prison system?"

"What do you think! We can't possibly keep them in the armory and piling up explosives every time, can we? The hands-off manager has finally remembered the shortcomings. You didn't even read the reports I wrote, did you? You just come in every week to sign them and then leave..."

Anderson, the head butler, kept nagging Ash, his words full of complaints. As the head butler of the Control Bureau, Anderson was in charge of almost everything, while Ash always did whatever came to mind, which made Anderson feel like he was going to lose many years of his life.

Chapter 252: Transformers

Having accomplished another troublesome task, Ash decided it was necessary to give herself another month of paid leave.

Under Ashna's compelling gaze, Anderson had no choice but to add another month of business trip to his chief's memo.

As Ash was about to leave, Anderson stopped him and said, "The special auditor is waiting for you here. He supposedly has some very important financial questions for you..."

"Special auditor? We still have that position? Didn't we categorize all unexplained expenses under ammunition consumption and weapons development?"

Ash scratched his head, confused as to why there was such a person. Anderson, upon hearing Ash's words, also became wary. After all, the auditor was carrying military credentials, and Ash had always maintained a friendly relationship with the military, so he couldn't very well refuse.

But Ash wasn't sure either. Anderson's expression changed as well. Several hours had passed since the auditors arrived. Although there was someone supervising, there was no guarantee that it wasn't a trap set by the enemy.

As the tactical squad kicked open the lounge door, the auditor was trying to rearrange the sofas and chairs to fit along the central axis of the room.

It was you again, Batman—oh no, OCD accountant. Ash only dismissed the tactical squad after seeing that Batman-like face.

Wolf didn't express any displeasure at this behavior; instead, he looked at the wooden door that had been forced open. Splinters of wood from the latch were scattered haphazardly around the room.

Ash stretched out his foot and haphazardly pushed the wood chips under his feet into one place, making the veins on Wolf's head stand out even more.

Seeing that Wolf was about to explode, Ash decided not to provoke him and took Wolf to a new lounge.

Once he calmed down, Wolf told Ash why he had come.

Since Wolf took over the $3.6 billion in casualty compensation in Sheffield, he has vanished without a trace. If it weren't for the constant updates from Sheffield, Ash would have thought Wolf had run away with the money.

This time Ash wasn't joking. After placing the coffee cup in a comfortable position for Wolf, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

Wolf pushed up his glasses and said slowly, "Someone is tracking that money, and they're doing it very discreetly..."

Ash spread his hands and said, "Go find Sheffield, sheffield needs this money. Why are you coming to me?"

Wolfe moved the coffee cup handle to a symmetrical position along the central axis, explaining, "I've already transferred that money, and everyone got what they deserved."

Hearing this, Ash became even more confused. "You've laundered and distributed all the money, and you're not even going to care about Sheffield anymore. Why are you coming to me, Wolff?"

Seeing Ash's confusion, Wolf explained, "The accounts and related transfer channels used for money laundering were opened in your name..."

Upon hearing this, Ash overturned the table, stepped onto the sofa, grabbed Wolf by the collar, and asked incredulously, "What did you say? You opened an account in my name! Don't you know how serious tax audits are! How much more taxes will I have to pay!"

Wolf reached out and freed himself from Ash's grasp, straightened his appearance, and put the table back in its place.

Resisting the urge to look at the broken glass on the floor, Wolf continued in his leisurely manner, "Actually, you don't need to pay taxes. There's a tax exemption clause in the terms of the Control Bureau's establishment. That was General Sheffield's condition..."

Knowing she wouldn't be taxed, Ash smiled as she smoothed out the wrinkles on Wolf's clothes, saying with a forced smile, "Go on, I won't do it again..."

"After opening the account in your name, I bought various low-priced personal goods as materials for money laundering transactions, but recently I've discovered that someone is tracking these materials..."

The supplies are registered under Ash's name. If anyone investigates these supplies, they will either be investigating the money or Ash herself.

Now that Sheffield had already reached an agreement, the money was legal, and the matter shifted to Ash.

'Interesting. I'm so approachable and harmless, yet someone is still investigating me?'

Ash revealed a benevolent smile, which sent a chill down Anderson's spine as he stood listening from the side. Anderson instinctively prepared several cleanup teams. The last time he saw Ash like this was during a secret operation when they took down a terrorist named Makarov.

Wolf's message gave Ash time to prepare, so he had to devise a friendly trap for these annoying enemies.

"Where did you put those things? We need to move them out..."

Whether it's tracking down Ash or tracking down this batch of supplies, an opportunity is needed, and Ash has Wolf provided that opportunity through his cooperation.

At Kingpin's port, which had been destroyed by Jade, Wolf was directing vehicles to load the hastily purchased supplies into the warehouse.

Ash, on the other hand, led the others to disperse at a distance from the warehouse to avoid being discovered.

The port has been almost completely destroyed by Xiaoyu, leaving it extremely empty and difficult to defend. However, it is equally easy to capture anyone entering or leaving.

Ash crouched with Swagger on a high point near the port, while Swagger lay on the ground observing everything around the port through his scope.

Meanwhile, Ash started a picnic nearby, with the sound of various snacks being unpacked. Swag kept his eyes on the target warehouse and reached over to touch the snacks and stuff them into his mouth.

Swag surveyed the harbor, popped a snack into his mouth, slowly let it dissolve, then swallowed and asked, "Who exactly are we targeting?"

"do not know."

"There's something you don't know?"

How could you assume I know everything?

"Because you always seem so confident about everything, you always find a solution..."

"It seems I've been too good at protecting you. Shouldn't we start making some death slots?"

Ash threatened Swagger over the channel, knowing everyone was listening; everyone in the Control Bureau shared Swagger's question.

The threat of death was ignored by everyone in the Control Bureau. Everyone knew that following Ash on missions was generally a safe and successful outcome.

After waiting for a long time without anyone approaching, Swagger grabbed another handful of snacks from Ash, stuffed them into his mouth, and asked, "Is the NYPD also cooperating with the operation?"

"No, I didn't notify George or Cassel at all. Why would you say that?"

Swagger adjusted his weapon, pointing it at a police car on the other side of the harbor, and said, "That police car has been parked there for over two hours..."

The vehicle seemed unusual, so Ash instructed the others to approach and inspect it.

However, when the combat team approached the car, the team leader reported to Ash that they found no one inside.

Even after forcibly opening the car's trunk, no hidden enemies were found. Similarly, the police car's trunk contained no police equipment.

After the squad's search yielded no results, Ash issued a withdrawal order: "Forget it, let's retreat. We'll have a squad monitor this place, let's go back first..."

As they spoke, Ash made loud, unrestrained noises of eating snacks through her headset, the sounds of her chewing reaching everyone's ears.

The reconnaissance team adopted a withdrawal formation and slowly withdrew from the area where the police car was located.

Swagger switched to a different weapon, slowly pulling back the bolt of his M24 to chamber a round. Bolt-action rifles offer better gas tightness and higher propellant gas utilization for improved accuracy.

However, Ash placed a uniquely designed weapon in front of Swagger's scope.

"Use this one, it's more powerful!"

The charged rifle was obtained from Stark just two days ago. Although Stark had agreed to modify it according to Ashe's requirements, the prototype was still left with Ashe. Stark only took some embers from Ashe.

No one would refuse such a futuristic new weapon. Swagger, holding the charged rifle, shifted to a crouching position and re-aimed at the police car.

The channel was silent; no one spoke, only the sound of Ashna chewing snacks could be heard.

Although Ash and Swagger were having a picnic, the sounds of them eating snacks didn't carry over to the radio. Swagger, being a sniper, would slowly chew his food with saliva, and Ash, also having received military training, knew not to cause unnecessary interference to her teammates.

This unusual chewing sound is a signal to others, a warning that cannot be spoken over the radio, so it is sent in this unique way.

Fortunately, the combat troops of the control bureau were all veterans and would not misunderstand this unexpected warning method. They also gradually lowered the safety of their weapons and prepared for the assault.

Ash picked up an AT4 rocket launcher, aimed, and fired it at the police car.

The rocket, with an initial velocity of 290 m/s, arrived next to the police car after flying for more than a second. Just as it hit the police car, the car twisted and changed its body structure, allowing the rocket to pass through its body and hit the wall behind it.

The destructive power of armor-piercing rounds primarily relies on the high-heat metal jet generated by the detonation of the cone-shaped explosive charge. Although there is some fragmentation damage, it is not significant, and the area of ​​damage caused by the explosion is negligible. Therefore, only a penetration hole of about fifty centimeters in size was left in the wall behind the police vehicle.

But no one cared about the damage from the rocket; everyone was drawn to the transforming police car, which had turned into a robot several tens of feet tall and was fleeing away from the port.

The other combatants' weapons didn't have good armor penetration, and when they hit the robot, they would just bounce off with a clang. Only when they hit gaps in the armor would the robot make a painful sound like a human.

Barricade, or more precisely, Decepticon Barricade, only appeared in the first Transformers movie and was easily defeated by Bumblebee.

Being cautious and timid by nature, it is trying to rush down into the harbor and escape this place by using the current.

Ordinary firearms caused him negligible damage. Enduring the strange sensations in his body, he saw the water at the dock, just a few steps away from leaving this place.

Through the scope, Swagger slowly placed his finger on the trigger, aiming intentionally but firing unintentionally. A red beam of light pierced through the entire port, shattering the Decepticon barricade as it sped away.

Stark's charged rifle, with its 50mm penetration, easily pierced a molten hole in the barricade.

The roadblock fell down, but Ash didn't rush to check the spoils. Instead, she dialed Russell's number.

"Russell, tell me where you're going to study to become the deputy director? Is it inside the Hoover Dam, some giant metallic alien site?!"
