Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Chapter 344 Uninvited Guests at Home

The reason why the production department's work is unimportant is that it doesn't come up every day. Furthermore, it's not Stark Films' core focus, so naturally, there's no rush to deal with it.

After a week's accumulation, there aren't many proposal documents left on the table.

Henry should have dealt with them all at once today, but the baby left at home issued a high-frequency alarm sound, indicating that a very important uninvited guest had arrived.

Although secretly delighted, Henry still put on a stern face, pretended to be reluctant, said something to the secretary in the small office, and left work early.

By the way, when Henry first came to Stark Films, the fat black girl who helped him introduce the company, Julian Williams, is now the secretary of the CEO of the film company.

But she basically just did the menial tasks of answering the phone, scheduling, and taking messages. She was nothing like the secretary who had influence over the boss. Henry didn't need anyone to help him sift through documents and reports.

Henry drove home because he felt that the things at home were not urgent enough to require the use of super speed.

While driving, Henry was thinking about what he had done recently. Otherwise, why did that girl come again? He ignored Katie's threats and broke into the house.

Since it wasn't rush hour, Henry drove home at a relatively fast pace, and it didn't take long for him to get back to his rental apartment.

Because it was late autumn and the afternoon sun was at its strongest, Old Gary did not wait on the street, but retreated to his house.

Although the temperatures in California in autumn have not yet reached the low temperatures of winter, it is easy to catch a cold without the warm sunshine and the cold wind.

It was probably because old Gary didn't guard the street that outsiders were able to sneak into the building so easily.

Or maybe it was because there was a fake relationship between them, so even if Old Gary saw it, he would just pretend to be blind and let the person go?

Regardless of the possibility, Henry returned to his house and opened the door. Katie was squatting beside a woman who had collapsed unconscious. He wondered if the tiger was struggling, and whether the thing in front of him could be a snack.

The girl in the business suit was none other than Barbara Morse, who had severed ties with him in the middle of last year. She was later nicknamed Mockingbird, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 19.

The reason why she fainted in her own home was because she was covered in injuries and sweating profusely, and she looked obviously exhausted.

Is he being chased by someone?

So you're going to throw her back onto the street?

After struggling for no more than three seconds, Henry sighed heavily again and gave in. After all, they were acquaintances. They might have had a purpose for getting along, but at least the other party didn't show any ill will.

Henry carried her to the sofa, took out the home first aid kit, and began to treat Barbara's injuries.

Having had more than a year of experience as a black doctor, Henry certainly did not take this level of non-fatal injuries seriously.

Without even stripping her naked, Henry tended to the still-bleeding wounds and, of course, dug out the bullet that had lodged in her body, rather than keeping it as a souvenir.

If a wound is too large and is not sutured, it will leave scars when it heals naturally.

He didn't know what the girl thought of the scars, but Henry took the initiative to help her deal with them. He then cleaned the blood stains that could be wiped clean and left the more difficult to wipe clean as is.

Henry had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. Especially taking advantage of a female agent would be like handing her a handicap.

Barbara's injuries weren't serious after all. When Henry wiped the dirt off her face, the cool towel had already woken her up. The girl opened her eyes and saw a tiger head licking its lips!

"Walter!" Barbara was frightened and jumped up. She retreated as far as she could. In her heart, she was thinking, could the cold feeling just now be the prelude to the tiger biting her head?

Henry pushed Tiger Head away at the right time, bringing himself into the girl's sight.

Perhaps the scene was too shocking and there were many unreasonable things going on, so it took Barbara, who had just woken up, some time to figure out the situation.

Looking at Henry, then at Tiger, Barbara finally managed a helpless, wry smile and said, "Hello, Katie. Hello, Henry."

Henry's expression was kind, but not particularly welcoming. "Girl, what's wrong with you? How did you get shot so many times? You went to a place a good girl shouldn't be, and a bunch of older men hated you and shot you with guns?"

Barbara regained her senses and grabbed Henry's collar, saying nervously, "Run! Someone is coming to kill you."

"Ooooh, calm down. Take a deep breath and speak slowly. First, who wants to kill me? And how did you know? Is it related to your injuries?"

Perhaps due to excessive excitement and excessive movement, Barbara pressed her abdomen, which was the most seriously injured. She took a deep breath as Henry instructed and looked at her condition again.

Henry then said, "I've taken care of your injuries. If you're worried, you should go to the hospital for a tetanus shot."

"It's S.H.I.E.L.D., the organization I was supposed to join. I'm still an intern, and I received an emergency call from my superiors. They ordered us to form a commando team, and our target is you, Henry Brown. Shoot and kill, leaving no one alive."

"Shoot him directly?" Henry looked strange.

"That's right, just shoot... to death?" Barbara said in a positive tone. But in the end, she also realized that it was unreasonable.

Henry asked, "I'm not familiar with your bureau. I just want to ask, do they have information about me? Why are they targeting me?"

"I saw your information from other officers. My level 1 clearance doesn't allow me to see this. As for the reason for attacking you, the one who gave the order didn't explain. He only said you were a vicious criminal and that we should show no mercy."

This tinge of conspiracy almost suffocated Henry. Could S.H.I.E.L.D. not have the information about my invulnerability? So what were they relying on to shoot me? Mutant-killing equipment? Or... simply a way to get myself killed?

"You guys want to attack me, do you have any special equipment prepared?"

Barbara shook her head, a serious expression on her face. It seemed she was thinking the same thing as Henry. In the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s higher-ups, Henry Brown's mutant abilities weren't a highly classified secret. Yet the commandos hadn't made the necessary preparations. What was going on?

"What about you? How could you be shot by your own people?"

Barbara blushed, unable to understand why she had been so impulsive and questioned the instructions of her superiors. She nervously twisted her index fingers together and said uneasily:

"I said I was just a trainee and hadn't passed the field test, so I wasn't suitable to join the commandos. Furthermore, the reasoning behind the order was too vague, emphasizing that you were bad without any concrete evidence.

"So I didn't want to accept such an order and wanted to find other superiors to review the content of this strange order. But before I could find other superiors, I was shot in the back. Then I managed to escape."

Henry looked at the girl with a strange expression. "Is this the organization you wanted to join? What was your reason for joining in the first place? It wasn't for justice and peace, was it?"

"Don't say that. I regret it now. I might as well go back to school and do academic research with the professor." Barbara said dejectedly, covering her face.

Chapter 345 Raid and Escape

"Wait a minute, could it be that all those called up are interns like you?" Henry asked.

Barbara replied, "Because the regular agents have all been taken away by the regional commander to perform other missions. So, the commander wants us trainee agents and some of the newly recruited first-level agents to help... Doesn't that seem right?"

"Does anyone else question orders like you do?"

Barbara shook her head. "No. Everyone's excited about the opportunity to go out on a field mission. Most people think that with this experience, they'll have no problem becoming a full-time agent."

: I never thought about what would happen if I failed!

It seemed that Henry had no doubt that the vans heading towards his location, filled with a group of people in full SWAT equipment, were coming to deal with him.

The point is! The equipment they use is very effective against ordinary criminals. But if they want to attack me without any special equipment for dealing with mutants, they will just be asking for death.

Even though he's not a mutant.

Is S.H.I.E.L.D. going to attack him? Or is S.H.I.E.L.D. going to attack him? No matter which opponent it is, Henry can't think of the reason why they would attack him.

If he really wanted to take action, he should have done it long ago. Why wait until he became the CEO of Stark Films? Or was he using himself as a warning to Tony Stark?

Then, even though they clearly had their own information, they sent in a group of ill-equipped rookies. This stank of conspiracy was simply unbearable.

"Henry!" Barbara grabbed Henry's collar again, bringing his thoughts back to reality. The girl said, "They know this place and can attack at any time. We have to leave quickly. Do you have any weapons?"

He opened a cabinet and found a bow and several arrows inside. Henry thought for a moment and decided not to take his hunting gear with him. Instead, he picked up the gun on the top shelf of the cabinet. Holding the gun, he asked, "Bobby, how's your shooting skill?"

"Definitely better than you! The instructor said I'm very talented." Barbara said proudly.

"Okay, you can use this gun." Henry closed the cabinet door and handed the gun over.

Barbara took it with a triumphant air. But as soon as she held the gun, she felt something was wrong. She struggled with the holster and magazine. "Is this an air gun?" the girl exclaimed in surprise.

"I only have this kind, used to scare people. The metal texture of the gun body is pretty good, right? I had it specially customized." Henry found two things similar to earphones from another cabinet and hung them on Katie's ears.

Since this wasn't the first time she'd been hung up, Katie wasn't as repulsed. But she still flapped her ears uncomfortably, as if trying to shake something off.

Barbara, dumbfounded, holding the air rifle, doubted the "weapon" in her hand. Unless it hit the eye, it wouldn't kill a trained adult, let alone stop them.

"Don't you have a real gun?" Barbara asked bitterly.

"You have the ability to attack someone who almost became your colleague?"

Hearing Henry's question, Barbara said angrily, "They shot me first!"

But the anger faded just as quickly as it came. Barbara lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Those idiots must have been fooled. But I can't understand why our commander would target you. Was it really an order from the bureau? Or is there something wrong with him?"

"I can't confront you in person, so forget about it." Henry handed Barbara the suit jacket he had taken off earlier. "Put it on. We're getting ready to leave."

At the same time, Katie seemed to hear something. The tiger froze in place, ears erect.

Barbara, not noticing Katie's unusual behavior, casually put the air gun aside, put on her clothes, and didn't plan to take the toy with her. "Where are we going?"

"Let's leave first." Henry grabbed Barbara's hand and walked towards his room.

The girl was pulled in for no apparent reason. Seeing that she was entering a room with a large bed, she felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Could it be that he was trying to take advantage of this moment to do something? Is this the right time?

Barbara's face flushed red with all sorts of emotions, and she didn't notice Katie following her into Henry's room.

Henry could hear the chaotic footsteps of a group of people rushing towards the third floor. They were very serious, stopping at every corner and attacking strictly according to the CQB tactics.

Although they knew to keep silent and communicated with each other only through hand gestures, it was hard not to notice the loud thumping footsteps.

Henry picked up the mattress and threw it out of the big window of the room!

The smashing of the glass windows made a loud noise, and even the brave Barbara couldn't help but cover her ears, startled.

"I'm going to jump out."

"Wait! Jump? This is the third floor, right?" Barbara said in surprise when she found herself being hugged around the waist.

"So I threw the mattress out as a cushion," Henry said as a matter of course.

"A small mattress, will it be useful?"

"It's better than nothing," Henry said with a smile, pulling the girl closer to him, bringing them closer together.

This wasn't really about taking advantage of her. It was just that if she broke free mid-air when he jumped out, he would have to expose his abilities to save her, which was not worth it.

Looking at the person in his arms, Henry smiled and said, "Let's go. Bite your teeth tightly and don't bite your tongue." After that, he roared like a tiger. Katie seemed to understand and followed Henry and jumped out of the broken window!

Two men and a tiger fell from the sky and landed precisely on the mattress that Henry had thrown out earlier.

In fact, just before landing on the mattress, Henry had quietly used his flying ability to slow down his descent. He was the first to land, so Barbara didn't feel much of a shock.

For a big cat like Katie, jumping from the third floor wasn't a big deal. She landed smoothly on all fours, cushioned by the mattress, just like she'd jumped from the tallest cat climbing frame in the house. Nothing happened.

Henry's choice of landing spot was also very thoughtful. His old Cadillac was right next to him. As soon as the door opened, he stuffed Barbara into the passenger seat first. Then he opened the back door, blew a whistle, and Katie jumped in.

When he was about to get into the driver's seat, the man guarding the van on the street noticed them and shouted, "The target has escaped! The target is trying to drive away!"

At this time, the slow-moving commandos were still banging on the door with a battering ram.

It can be said that the time Henry chose to escape happened to be when this group of people were stuck in a dilemma.

Chapter 346: The SHIELD's Pursuit

Back then, not everyone had headsets, so only the team leader carried a walkie-talkie. Amidst the banging on the door, the anxious voice on the intercom was barely audible.

When the battering ram finally broke the door open, a group of people rushed in. "FBI, everyone, don't move!" Almost everyone who entered the room shouted, as if the sound was more lethal than the bullets.

However, the captain standing at the back finally heard the voice on the intercom. "What! The target has escaped through the window."

The team members who had entered the house and hadn't spotted the target also reported the same thing. "Report, no one's there. Judging by the unusually broken window, they likely escaped through that window."

The team leader yelled, "Need you tell me? The people down there have already reported that they saw them driving away. Everyone, get back in the car! We're going to catch up! Hurry!"

"Should we keep someone to search?"

"No need. Everyone get back to the car, action!"

At the captain's loud command, all the fully armed agents ran back to the car as fast as possible.

This situation, of course, alarmed the landlord, Old Gary. He cautiously went up to the third floor and saw a large group of people wearing black hoods, helmets, and black military equipment. How could this not scare him?

Fortunately, there were large and conspicuous "FBI" letters on the upper arms and chest, letting him know that this was an official action, not a gang operation.

Seeing them preparing to evacuate, Old Gary bravely stepped forward. "Sir, what's going on here?"

Before he could say anything more, Gary was pushed against the wall. Although he wasn't being held at gunpoint, the person holding him was practically jabbing a finger up his nose.

"Quiet! This is an FBI operation, civilians don't need to ask any questions. Move aside, we still have the criminals to hunt down."

After giving the warning, the agent who controlled Old Gary followed his companions at the end of the team and left together.

At this time, old Gary, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and afraid to look at anyone, secretly opened one eye and looked at the situation in the corridor. He looked around and found that other tenants were also peeking in. No one knew what was going on.

Old Gary checked one by one and finally found the FBI's possible target in the last room, the room where Henry Brown kept tigers!

This was the only house damaged by the battering ram. Old Gary bravely poked his head inside. It looked like Katie, the tabby cat, was not there.

There wasn't much shelter inside the house to hide the large carnivore. That was the best news, though. At least there was no need to worry about the tiger escaping into the street.

As the landlord, Old Gary felt it was his responsibility to take a look at the situation, so he went into the house he rented to Henry.
