Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Ash said, "Now that you all have mutated bodies, Doom, what are you going to do?"

The choice was given to Doom, and Ash was more than happy to help Doom, since no one dislikes God Doom.

Doom said, "I'll go find Reed and find out what his plans are, where this research came from. Given his knowledge and abilities, his main research area is space physics; bio-engineering isn't his forte..."

Doom's sudden transformation did not make him a complete king of Latveria; he still cherishes the friendships of the past and extends kindness to himself.

Ash didn't deny Doom's decision; after all, one only knows the pain after experiencing it.

Pointing to the link at the bottom of the live stream, Ash said, "You should fill in your information first, so that nothing goes wrong later."

Doom did not refuse Ash's request and filled in all the information smoothly, while Ash guided him from the side.

"Alright, alright, just write that your body underwent a mutation due to cosmic radiation, that's all..."

After Doom filled out the forms, Ash let him go. After all, Doom had questions that needed answering, and he was at a crucial turning point. The choice was ultimately up to him.

Meanwhile, just as Anderson was preparing to deploy his team to investigate the person who set the fire in the street, the investigation was stopped by Ash.

Because of Anderson's questionable actions, most of the people at the Control Bureau base have had their energy drained and can only lie in bed slowly recovering.

Ash handed the investigation over to the New York Police Department.

When George received Ash's call, he said in a tone that suggested he already knew, "I knew it wouldn't be good. You want me to handle this kind of thing?"

Ash said, "The Bureau of Control is indeed short-handed right now. Something has happened. You just need to go and take a look. I'll definitely resolve it by tomorrow at the latest..."

When George saw the footage Ash sent him, he realized that most of the people in the Control Bureau were indeed lying down. George didn't think it was necessary to incite so many people to act in order to avoid a mission.

Considering the danger of the mission, George decided to take the four turtles to Baxter's Mansion in Reed to apprehend the key criminal, Johnny Stone.

When George led his officers to the top floor of the Baxter Building, they found Johnny continuously shooting flames into the air, while Reed and Susan stood by watching.

"Stop your dangerous behavior, Mr. Johnny, you're under arrest!"

Upon hearing George's words, Johnny turned around and threw a ball of fire at him. The fire quickly disappeared into the air, but the intense heat told everyone that this threat was no joke.

This action caused the officers around George to draw their guns and point them at Johnny.

Impulsive and arrogant Johnny was somewhat presumptuous the moment he gained his abilities, and he made no attempt to hide his true feelings from the police.

George said with a dark face, "If you make any further moves, I'll take it as resisting arrest! This is an arrest warrant!"

George showed the arrest warrant to Johnny, then reached behind him and summoned four turtles to put restraints on Johnny.

Raphael stepped forward first, carrying the restraints, and walked towards Johnny, saying to Leonardo DiCaprio beside him, "He looks just like Captain America from the comics..."

Leonardo, as the team leader, also noticed that Johnny Stone looked very similar to Captain America, but with the mission at hand, he still urged Raphael to put the restraints on Johnny.

Leonardo said, "Never mind that. The important thing now is to complete the mission. Jade will bring Carl later, so we need to prepare in advance. We can't just have pizza."

Raphael said nonchalantly, "Xiaoyu won't care about these things. Karl also likes pizza. There's nothing wrong with pizza..."

Johnny was put in a restraint device, the weight of which forced him to walk with a hunched back.

Just as George was about to leave with Johnny, Doom broke through the crowd and arrived at the scene.

When Doom first saw Susan standing next to Reed, he looked incredulous. Although he saw Susan and Reed going out to have fun, Doom believed that Susan was a good girl.

But now, Susan, clinging to Reed's arm, watched Johnny being led away, completely oblivious to the heartbreak of someone nearby.

“Susan, you’re here…”

Doom's words startled Susan, and upon seeing Doom arrive, she quickly released Reed's arm and turned to walk towards him.

Susan said, "Doom, help Johnny! He's being taken away..."

Susan was completely unaware that Doom was already looking at her with new eyes, and her words were not heard by Doom at all.

Just before Susan reached out to Doom, Doom bypassed her and went to Reed's side.

Doom said, "Reed, who gave you your research?"

Reed stared at the ceiling and said, "That was something I researched myself. I prepared for it for a long time. Who could have imagined something like this would happen..."

Doom said, "So you can miscalculate the timing of a solar storm? That kind of fundamental error could happen to you?"

Reed said, "The mistake has been made, and all I can say is sorry..."

Hearing this, Doom was furious. If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police? The police are here? Then it's alright.

Doom said, "Sorry? Your mistake cost me billions, several military probe satellites, and caused physical mutations in both of us! Is this how you apologize?"

Doom's voice was so loud that everyone around him stopped in their tracks.

George thought for a moment and understood what Ash meant. It was obvious that Ash was unable to take action himself, so he was asked to do it in his place.

George stepped out from the crowd of onlookers and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention.

"Ahem... Sir, are you saying there are also people with physical mutations?"

Doom pointed at Reed and said, "It's all because of his research that my body is starting to show signs of metallization. As for Johnny, I believe he has the same problem..."

Doom held out his hand, showing George the changes to his fingertips.

George looked at Doom, then at Reed behind him, and waved for the officers to put restraints on everyone present.

Resisting now is considered defying public authority, and none of those present are fools; they all obediently follow orders.

As soon as the officer released Reed after he put on the restraints, the restraints fell to the ground with a thud, and Reed's body was stretched straight like rubber, dragging along the ground with the restraints.

Seeing this scene, George was so frustrated that he could only have the police officers follow Reed around at all times.

Just as the tortoise was playfully tying Reed's arms together, a loud crash came from the next room.

Terrified, George pulled out his weapon and slowly approached the room from which the noise had come. He tried to pull the doorknob, but the door remained completely still.

Stepping back to let the turtles come forward, Raphael inserted his fork into the crack in the door and pried it open effortlessly.

Inside the room, only a large hole remained, awaiting George's arrival. Through the hole, a burly figure could be seen running through the distant woods.

George glanced at the onlookers and said with a displeased expression, "Issue a city-wide warrant, find him, and then I'll call the Bureau of Control. This is their job..."

Ash will get involved in this, but not now. Getting the NYPD involved is a way of distancing himself from the situation.

Although Ash admires Doom and can offer him some favorable conditions, Doom still wants to return to his Latveria; too much contact with Ash is not a good thing.

Now, Doom was standing at the entrance of the NYPD, still not recovered. George connected to the Bureau of Control's database, found Doom's information, told him to wait for the Bureau of Control's investigation results, and released him.

Reed and his sister Susan weren't so lucky; they're now responsible for the escaped Stone Man, and Johnny has to pay for the car he burned on the roadside.

George also learned a crucial skill—following procedures. Before Ash took over these troubles, all procedures were completed on time to the maximum limit.

But the next day, before Ash was even fully awake, George called impatiently.

All that could be heard from the phone was George's urgent voice, giving Ash a shocking piece of news.

George said, "Ash, Reed and the other two were taken away this morning..."

Ash asked, somewhat puzzled, "By whom? S.H.I.E.L.D.? Didn't you check their credentials?"

"They were bailed out by private lawyers with a huge bail bill, an astronomical sum. I could even arrange two of your kind of exoskeletons for the police station!"

George's words piqued Ash's interest. Reed had begged Doom to let him go to space, so how could he possibly have the money to buy his freedom now?

Seeing that he had messed things up, George had no choice but to send the video of the incident to Ash.

In the video, a lawyer led the signing of an agreement and payment of bail, leading Reed and his two companions out of the police station. In the car in front of the police station, Reed looked as if he had seen an acquaintance, and his surprised expression seemed genuine.

Since Reed and the others got into the car, it disappeared into the dawn. Ash knew for sure that he couldn't find out any specific information about the car. Otherwise, George would have just said so directly instead of giving Ash the video to watch himself.

Reed, who was not originally good at bio-engineering, went to study biological evolution. As a result, the military's satellite launch failed, and Reed and three others underwent a bio-engineering procedure. Now they have been taken away by a mysterious person.

Things are getting more and more interesting; if this were a detective novel, it would be a battle of wits.

But Ashe isn't Kindaichi or Sherlock Holmes; her specialty is basic attacks, and pushing through enemies is Ashe's method.

"Cortana, search this video and find them..."

Chapter 286: Suspect Tracking

Everyone has witnessed Ash's healing and lightning, everyone has witnessed Constantine's fire and magic, and everyone has witnessed Geralt's gadgets and berserk fighting style.

But these are all performances that Ash shows to the audience. Cortana, who was only shown once, is Ash's greatest asset in this world.

Cortana lurked in the network, constantly gathering various information to provide Ash's clone with all the necessary data.

Furthermore, Cortana was the one in charge of inter-latitude communications; controlling communications and data meant controlling the initiative.

"Sir, I searched every possible location, hacked into ATM cameras and private cameras, but found no trace of them. However, on the route the vehicle took, I spotted someone you know; perhaps he's also looking for these people..."

Cortana showed Ash a blurry image, which Ash immediately recognized as Reese the Knee-Knee, who was looking in the direction the vehicle had gone and talking to the communicator on his wrist.

Reese (appeared in Chapter 28, from the American TV series Person of Interest, a highly recommended show), AKA Suit Man, Knee Man, whose lifelong hobby is shooting people in the knees. When Ash was on the expedited list, it was Reese who protected Ash.

Meanwhile, Reese's employer, Finch, is a genius who created the internet and meme algorithms, capable of predicting terrorist attacks and even the deaths of ordinary people based on statistical data.

But Finch had an unparalleled fear and concern about this algorithm, and after limiting his creation, the 'machine,' to predicting only terrorist attacks, he sold it to the government.

Finch's companions, unable to bear this abandonment of ordinary people, secretly left a backdoor, exposing the crisis of ordinary people every day by sending out social security numbers.

This ingenious algorithm is something even Cortana couldn't match, and Cortana's prototype, the Samaritan, could only keep up with the limited 'machine'.

Ash found an abandoned subway station based on the blessing she had left for Rither.

The New York subway, which opened in 1904, has undergone numerous renovations and upgrades. Even its builders could not explain how many complex underground passages it has. Only London's underground can compare to it.

Furthermore, due to the complexity of the underground pipe network, people often get lost and lose their lives here, which conveniently provided Reese and Finch with a place to stay.

In the subway station, Finch was checking his computer, searching for targets that needed protection, while Reese was next to him, idly flipping through a magazine.

At that moment, a dog lying next to Risser seemed to have heard something, and it alertly pricked up its ears and looked toward the subway entrance.

Seeing the dog's unusual behavior, Rither pulled out his weapon, aimed it at the passageway, and said, "Finch, be careful, hide behind the table..."

Finch hid behind the table and secretly watched as Reese led the dog quietly to the dark corner at the entrance of the passage. The safety on his gun was off, and he was just waiting for the person to arrive.

A shadow followed its master down the stairs, step by step. The person came to the sliding door with a purpose, but when he reached out, he could not open the door.

Risser subtly turned his gun, and just as he was about to bring the newcomer into firing range, the man's loud voice made Risser want to shoot him dead immediately.

All that could be heard was Ash shouting, "Riser! Suit Man, Knee Man! Come open the door for me! This door isn't greased, I can't open it!"

With a dark expression, Rither emerged from the darkness and opened the door from the opposite direction of Ash's attempt.

What are you doing here?
