Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

Before leaving, she turned back and reminded him, "I hope you can fulfill your responsibilities."

Lu Yunmeng nodded in understanding. Pepper held an irreplaceable place in Tony's life.

She was the only one who didn't care about fame, fortune, or status, and genuinely cared about Tony's safety.

Lu Yunmeng didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she admired Pepper's straightforwardness and sense of responsibility.

More importantly, Lu Yunmeng was unaware of the significant impact her appearance had on others.

She still maintained a male way of thinking, but felt that the original owner's profession was indeed insufficient to handle the work of a bodyguard.

Of course, the situation is completely different after incorporating a super gene.

Given the capabilities Homelander has demonstrated so far, her protective power far surpasses any surveillance system or elite army.

Five days later, Lu Yunmeng fully recovered and was officially discharged from the hospital.

Tony personally drove to pick her up and thoughtfully arranged a luxury mansion for her near the Malibu coast.

Surprisingly, this mansion is only a few kilometers away from Tony's own villa, and he bought it directly after returning from Afghanistan.

During Lu Yunmeng's ten days in the hospital, Tony specially hired a construction team to carry out a complete renovation of the mansion.

Thus, a top-tier luxury mansion costing tens of millions of US dollars appeared before Lu Yunmeng's eyes.

The roof is round and cloud-shaped, covered with wavy tiles. Open floor-to-ceiling windows face the sea, and the ground floor features a spacious living room of over 400 square meters, along with a modern kitchen.

The second floor has three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an open-air balcony.

The basement level is nestled between the mountain walls, offering a vast space and two open-plan bedrooms. The ceiling is made of highly visible sea-blue tempered glass.

It boasts a full range of amenities, including a gym, swimming pool, studios, and a private beach, making it an extremely luxurious facility.

The only thing that embarrassed Lu Yunmeng was that the walls were covered in pink wallpaper.

She's not a little girl; it's too extravagant for her to live in so many rooms all by herself.

She had originally planned to rent an apartment in the city, since she had a $20 million salary and wouldn't have to worry about living expenses. But then she thought that as a bodyguard, it would be reasonable for her to stay close by.

"So, do you like it? I had a designer specially renovate it to incorporate Eastern style. It took a lot of effort," Tony boasted proudly.

"How could I say no? Thank you for the tip, boss, I'm very satisfied." Lu Yunmeng stood in the sunlight and responded with a smile.

She was dressed in a casual shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with a pair of black sunglasses perched on her golden-brown curly hair, giving her a dashing and stylish look.

Her stunning beauty shone brightly in the sunlight, leaving Happy speechless.

"Hey, don't be shy, just protect my life." Tony waved his hand dismissively, his tone full of arrogance.

For him, money is just a number, and it's best to spend it on things that are worthwhile.

"So, you really do have super vision and super hearing, right?" Tony suddenly leaned closer, lowered his voice, and asked with a wink.

“Of course, I can cover everything within a five-kilometer radius.” Lu Yunmeng nodded, making no attempt to hide her abilities.

Standing three kilometers away, she could clearly see everything inside Tony's villa, including the vehicles in the basement and the armor parts scattered on the workbench.

As long as he's within her coverage area, she can get to the scene instantly if Tony gets into trouble.

"That's great! But just a heads up, don't peek while I'm showering. I want to keep some privacy," Tony chuckled, half-jokingly.

Lu Yunmeng raised an eyebrow, scoffing. What's so interesting about men taking a bath? You'd be better off watching Pepper!

"Oh, and I've also prepared transportation for you. I hope you like it."

"So, Stark Industries' benefits are pretty good, aren't they? You can't find this kind of salary and benefits anywhere else." Tony walked to the villa's garage, pressed a controller, and the folding door slowly rose, revealing a red Lamborghini sports car.

Lu Yunmeng didn't know much about luxury car culture, but she could tell that the car was quite valuable.

“Boss ordered it specially from Lamborghini headquarters. It’s a limited edition; there are only ten in the world,” Happy whispered a reminder.

Lu Yunmeng silently grumbled: "No wonder he's Tony Stark, he's really rich and powerful." She truly didn't understand the world of the wealthy.

"If it were me, I would choose to fly into the sky."

"But considering your abilities, let's just use this car as a showpiece." Tony handed over the car keys, joking with a smile.

After the "newlyweds' festivities" ended, Tony and Happy left the mansion.

One went home to continue researching the Iron Man armor, while the other went back to work at the company.

Lu Yunmeng wasn't idle either; she first strolled around the area to experience the life of the wealthy.

Her past life's nine-to-five routine filled her with curiosity about the lives of the super-rich, and now she finally has the chance to experience it firsthand.

After getting a feel for her surroundings, she began preparing for her space mission.

Ordinary clothing cannot withstand the air friction generated during high-speed flight; the high temperature will destroy it instantly.

No matter how thickly she's dressed, she'll become "naked" before she even leaves Earth's orbit.

Therefore, she obtained a specially made suit from Tony, made of reinforced fiber and high-temperature resistant metal.

To be honest, this outfit looks a bit bulky, making me look like a big steamed bun, but it's very functional.

Lu Yunmeng once tested it with a thermal vision device and found that it could withstand temperatures of over 1,000 degrees Celsius for a short period of time, which is much better than ordinary heat protection clothing on the market.

The temperature generated by high-speed friction in the atmosphere can reach thousands of degrees. Although this outfit can only last for a short while, it is enough for her.

After all, her speed is enough to make up for this deficiency.

The preparations weren't complicated; she mainly relied on her strong physique.

Lu Yunmeng decided to try flying into space today.

Just as she was figuring out how to put on the heat-resistant suit, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lu Yunmeng used her X-ray vision to pass through the wall and discovered a familiar yet unfamiliar uninvited guest standing outside the door.

She got up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with a slightly receding hairline, wearing his signature smile.

"Hello, Ms. Lu, I'm Phil Coulson from the Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency. This is my business card."

The middle-aged man politely introduced himself and handed over a black and gold business card.

Lu Yunmeng glanced at the word "SHIELD" on the business card and casually put it away.

"What brings you here?" She was no stranger to S.H.I.E.L.D. The organization's original purpose was to handle various strange events, and the current director was the one-eyed "Black Egg."

Unlike ordinary government agencies, S.H.I.E.L.D. is directly mandated by the International Security Council and is jointly overseen by multiple governments.

However, since the end of World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been thoroughly infiltrated by Hydra, leaving very few truly innocent agents, hence the nickname "Snake Shield."

These fragments of memory flashed through Lu Yunmeng's mind, but she didn't know who the Hydra members were within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Therefore, she didn't have a good impression of S.H.I.E.L.D.—a group of self-important organizations that attempted to control global or even cosmic security, but whose actual capabilities were ridiculously poor; they were simply incompetent and loved to play around.

Chapter 8 Warning

S.H.I.E.L.D. has a deep historical background, which can be traced back to ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.

Once upon a time, a great hero led humanity to successfully repel the alien invaders, the Zerg. His shield was used as a symbol to establish the Brotherhood of the Shield, a secret organization to guard against major threats.

Its members throughout history have included great figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, and Newton.

Tony Stark's father, Howard Stoke, was also one of them.

The modern SHIELD is an official military operations organization and intelligence agency similar to the FBI and CIA, established after World War II.

Their authority is relatively centralized and more targeted, possessing classified intelligence from all over the world, and they are particularly concerned about paranormal events.

"The main reason for this contact with you is regarding your use of supernatural abilities in Afghanistan."

Agent Coulson maintained his smile and spoke politely.

Lu Yunmeng immediately understood.

In fact, after escaping from the desert, she overheard the secret conversation between Tony and Rhodey. It was the body that was in deep hibernation, not the mind.

These past few days, while "recovering" in the hospital ward, I've been able to unintentionally acquire a lot of information using my super hearing.

Since the government and military had already taken notice of her existence, she was not surprised that S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to obtain relevant information and data.

After all, this special organization's intelligence covers all parts of the world.

“Miss Lu Yunmeng, I know this is abrupt, but S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to deal with all sorts of supernatural emergencies; it’s our duty.”

“We have investigated your file and information, and we must say that you are completely innocent. I personally admire your actions and courage.”

"We are also very sorry for what happened to you in Afghanistan; it was our dereliction of duty."

Coulson spoke slowly, his eyes subtly observing the stunningly beautiful woman before him, a considerable sense of pressure emanating from him.

He dared not underestimate the person who was shot and then resurrected, and then easily slaughtered more than two hundred terrorists, even if that person was a young and beautiful girl.

After obtaining authorization for the data, he worked overnight with the intelligence department and analysis team to verify it, first confirming the authenticity of the video footage captured by the surveillance satellite.

Secondly, by having the technical department reconstruct the scene at the time and calculate the upper limit of this "superwoman's" abilities, the answer obtained was very vague.

Because the strength of the Ten Rings gang terrorists was such that they couldn't force Lu Yunmeng to reveal her true power.

So, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, he decided to meet this supernatural being in person.

The reason we didn't take coercive measures from the beginning was because the other person's previous file was quite impressive, showing that they were a compassionate person.

His resurrection and awakening of superpowers, coupled with his rage and massacre of all the terrorists present, could be considered somewhat understandable.

They also managed to rescue Tony Stark, a well-known entrepreneur and billionaire who had been kidnapped.

S.H.I.E.L.D. prefers to resolve issues through diplomacy rather than violence.

The primary objectives are to intimidate, win over, and build good relationships.

According to Director Nick Fury, as long as Lu Yunmeng doesn't become a terrorist because of her superpowers, the conditions are negotiable.

Agent Phil Coulson was very polite, and her words were like a gentle breeze, at least that's how Lu Yunmeng thought.

His language is neither aggressive nor obscure, making it very pleasant to listen to. This art of language stems from his calm and composed personality, free from arrogance and impatience.

"It's okay, I've moved on..."

"The shame was washed away with the filthy blood of those terrorists."

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Lu Yunmeng's eyes, dangerous and oppressive, before she shook her head with a faint smile and said bluntly.

She was not the original owner of the body. Although she was affected by some residual memories, she harbored no resentment and the killing of terrorists was not out of revenge.
