Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Although he wanted to continue pretending to be dead, the other person rushed out with the luck of a protagonist-level superhero, so Henry could no longer hide.

A favor from someone who has been through life and death with you is still a favor. Normally, it is not easy to make a person of this level owe you a favor.

Besides, if Tony gets into trouble here, who knows if old Stark will get angry and get rid of all the people involved in the villa today?

Those who are rich and powerful may be able to buy their own lives; people like me who have no power and no influence can only rely on superpowers to escape.

It only took a moment to weigh the pros and cons, and Henry stood up from behind the cupboard at the same time Tony rushed out!

Every time the Stark young master fired a shot, Henry would watch to see if Tony's muzzle trajectory could hit anyone. If he did, he would shoot someone who wasn't aimed at him, and if he didn't, he would shoot again.

This sounds magical, but with the Kryptonians' nerve reaction speed and thinking speed, this kind of thing is easy.

Henry's body was like a regulator: the more focused he was, the faster his reactions became. Not only could he think more, but he could also function normally in this area... relatively speaking.

To outsiders, Henry seemed to have entered some kind of super-speed realm; but in his own eyes, the world almost came to a standstill.

When he was moonlighting as a stuntman or action actor, this ability allowed him to safely perform many actions that others would consider difficult. So this wasn't just a last-minute effort.

Nowadays, if you want to rely on this ability to shoot people, hitting the target is the most basic thing; if others want to hit him, it is impossible, no matter how good the marksman is at aiming.

In fact, if Henry relied on his super speed to blow a head off with one punch and then withstand the bullet with his body, he could do it. But he didn't want to expose his superpowers. He was already invincible by cheating with his reaction speed.

It's said that people should keep a low profile. Henry certainly couldn't and didn't need to use all his super powers on these non-threatening ordinary people. And to avoid exposing his super reaction speed, of course, he relied on his acting skills.

This is the real deal. The difference between Superman and Clark Kent isn't just a suit and a pair of glasses.

One of the defining characteristics of reporter Clark Kent is his clumsiness. For those who know both Superman and Clark Kent, it's hard for them to imagine that the clumsy reporter could transform into a god-like Superman once he puts on his battle suit.

If Superman's human form weren't a reporter but an actor, he would still be a top-tier actor. Henry had a deep understanding of this.

In actual practice, every time Tony Stark fired a shot, Henry would slowly follow up with one or two shots. He would then deliberately empty his own gun, and then join forces with Tony to knock down all the gunmen who entered the villa through the main gate.

Although not every shot was fatal, the fact that two men with two pistols knocked down six enemies was considered an extraordinary performance in the eyes of ordinary people.

Tony Stark seemed to think that he had defeated all the enemies himself, one shot at a time, so he looked in Henry's direction as a demonstration.

To be fair, Master Stark's pistol accuracy was quite high. At a distance of about ten meters, he hit four out of six, with two of the shots being fatal. So he had reason to be proud.

Henry opened the holster and gave the proud young master a look. Then he stepped forward to check on the fallen gunman.

He didn't shoot them one by one, so he could do it thoroughly. But he had to at least disarm them to prevent them from being shot in the back. Henry also grabbed a pistol and tossed it around.

Tony came over and looked at Henry's unskilled movements, and asked with a dark face: "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to remove the magazine and check the remaining ammunition."

Tony pointed to the latch on the gun handle and said, "Press here and the magazine will be ejected."

As instructed, Henry pressed the latch and the pistol's magazine ejected, but his other hand wasn't positioned under the gun to receive the magazine.

So this time, he was scrambling to grab the magazine. Fortunately, he didn't let it fall to the ground.

Even putting it back in, I had to push it in twice before it clicked into place. The same thing happened when I pulled the holster to load the gun.

After completing the whole process, Henry finally assumed the gun-holding position. Tony Stark's face darkened as he watched him, and he rolled his eyes. He reluctantly reminded him, "Your safety isn't on."

"Oh." Henry looked around before confirming the safety's position. As for the switch, there was an engraving on the gun, so there was no need to ask again.

Tony Stark, unable to help himself, finally asked, "Have you ever used a gun?"

Henry hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well... this is my first time today." This was the honest truth. Combined with his experiences before crossing over, Henry had only seen guns on TV and in movies; today was his first time handling a real gun.

Even in Alaska, Henry never played with John's shotgun.

However, Henry's honest words made Tony Stark look upset, and he no longer looked at this comrade who seemed unreliable.

If the other party could not be used to distract the opponent, he really didn't want to follow this person.

Tony Stark took a pistol and put it on his waist, then took out a rifle and did not forget to take out the magazine and weigh it to ensure that there was enough ammunition.

As for the rifles, he didn't let Henry take one. These captured rifles were all new gadgets, with relatively complicated structures and operations.

Moreover, long guns themselves are not suitable for indoor use. In order to avoid being shot in the back, unreliable comrades are better off using pistols.

For those who were still gasping and groaning on the ground, Tony Stark gave them a clean kiss with the butt of his gun, making them faint.

Seeing Tony Stark's restless movements of looking around and listening attentively to the gunshots coming from other places, it was known that this man had no intention of staying and waiting for help.

Henry said, "Their target isn't you, it's that guy called Josh Hilton. Are you still going to fight them anyway? Didn't you say that backup would arrive in twenty minutes?"

"How can you be sure they won't kill everyone here to silence us? If we don't take advantage of the chaos and strike back, once they've taken control, we'll be lambs to the slaughter. With the equipment these people have, I doubt the others can last even twenty minutes."

Tony glanced at Henry and said, "If you're scared, you don't have to follow."

The Kryptonian was speechless.

Chapter 77: The Qualities of a Hero

To become a superhero, one must have one quality, which is the courage to stand up.

This is why even though Henry has the ability of a Kryptonian, he doesn't think he can become the second Superman. Because when encountering something, his first thought is to protect himself.

Although the twenty years after crossing over seemed like a blank, with him either being held captive or tortured, he had lived for thirty or forty years before crossing over, and he no longer had the youthful vigor and vitality.

But Tony Stark is worthy of being the person who will become a superhero in the future.

Perhaps many people think that he is just a hero hiding behind the iron armor, but they never thought that he was born surrounded by enemies and created the first simple armor to save himself.

Even with the Mark 42 still charging, he still dared to rush into the enemy camp alone with weapons cobbled together from a hardware store to hunt down the culprit.

The Iron Man suit is just a reflection of his financial ability. Even without the suit, he does not lack courage.

But honestly, Henry felt that this teenage Tony Stark was just as reckless as a newborn calf, fearless and unafraid of a tiger. He seemed eager to prove something, easily disregarding life and death.

When this man ran towards the place where the gunfire was concentrated again, Henry seriously considered whether shooting this guy in the foot would make him quiet down.

But in the end Henry followed and guarded Tony's retreat.

The Kryptonians now have their senses fully activated, like a human-shaped wall-penetrating radar, keeping an eye on all suspected enemies.

This action made Henry sense a sense of disharmony from the enemy.

They came with a purpose, and there was no doubt that their target was this banquet.

But with so many people attacking, there was no central command center. Although there was tactical coordination, it seemed more like an impromptu action.

The evidence is that the encirclement is not perfect. As long as you find the right direction and run hard, there is still a chance to escape.

Their search inside the house was just to avoid interfering with each other, and there were always some inadvertent omissions.

This reminded Henry of a gold coin he had just taken out from the fallen gunman when he was searching for a replacement pistol.

He had seen the same gold coin at Tom, the human resources agent in Alaska.

When he found the gold coin, he pocketed it as a trophy. Henry wasn't sure if Tony noticed.

Perhaps a mere gold coin wasn't much considering his wealth. Besides, it was found on the gunman, so Tony didn't take it seriously.

Looking back now, it doesn't seem strange that a killer organization exists in a high-risk world like the Marvel Universe. And it seems normal that this killer organization has a world-class scale and system.

For example, the mainland hotel uses gold coins as bargaining chips...

The bounty system at the mainland hotel has a unique feature: it does not prohibit multiple killers from hunting the same target. The person who can provide proof of the kill will receive the entire bounty.

Therefore, the killers have to cooperate and share the bounty equally; or they can rob each other, take the money for themselves, or steal the heads, all of which are allowed under the rules.

Once entering the Continental Hotel, the killers are not allowed to kill each other, which is an iron rule.

Normally, targets that are too difficult to capture or have too low a reward will not attract many killers.

But in today's situation, if the killer organization of the Continental Hotel is really behind this, it can only be said that the reward for the target is not low, which is why so many people are attracted here.

If the above speculation is true, then the only consolation is that the quality of the assassins in the Continental Hotel varies greatly. Not everyone has the skills of Baba Yaga, aka John Wick.

Just like the two gunmen we encountered in the front yard. They were clearly within arm's reach, yet they dared to casually move their guns away. It was almost like they were telling us to resist quickly. A seasoned assassin would never do such a foolish thing.

Besides, the same thing happened to the six men who had just been knocked down. They were clearly firing rifles, but they were able to empty their magazines at almost the same time, while reloading at the same time, giving Tony Stark an opening to rush out.

Perhaps these people are not lacking in the courage to kill, but if they had more experience, they would not be easily defeated by Tony Stark, a reckless young man.

I hope the next enemy will be so easy to deal with, Henry thought to himself, and at the same time fired a shot at the window of the unlit room next to him!

"Walter!" Tony immediately took cover against the wall and asked behind him.

"Well, I just saw a dark shadow, so I shot. But nothing happened, maybe I saw it wrong." Henry said.

In fact, there was an unlucky guy who had just climbed out the window when Henry shot him on the supporting hand and he fell down.

Well, the heart is still beating, so he's not dead.

Tony said dissatisfiedly: "Be careful, don't expose us."

"Yes, sir."

Tony Stark had just turned around and took two steps forward. When he passed the door of a room, Henry grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back!

At the same time, a wave of bullets came from the door, and Tony Stark was almost shot to pieces.

Henry didn't explain. The pull dragged both him and Tony to the ground. At the same time, the barrage of bullets reached the wall they were leaning against, piercing the wooden partitions.

The two men fell to the ground and escaped.

Tony rolled aside, no longer pressing on Henry. "What is this room?" he asked.

"Smoking room."

"Smoking room? Why does it smell wrong?"

"You know, those really strong, addictive 'cigarettes'."

Tony understood what was going on, but he didn't criticize. Instead, he quickly turned his head and feet around, lying on the ground, and said to Henry, "Push me out!"

Henry understood what he meant and grabbed Tony Stark's shin with both hands and pushed forward.

Tony appeared from under the doorway, raised his rifle and fired a burst of shots at the people standing with guns in the room. The sound of gunfire stopped all of a sudden.

Just as Tony Stark was about to get up, Henry stepped through the doorway and fired two more shots at the gunman who had just jumped out from the cover of the sofa.

In fact, the first shot knocked the man down, and the second shot was just a show.

Tony, who had changed from lying on the ground to kneeling, saw this. Although he didn't say the word "thank you", at least he didn't continue to criticize him.

Tony stood up, walked around the room, and found that the people in the room were either drunk to the point of unconsciousness or had been shot in the head and would never wake up again.

However, the sound of gunfire from elsewhere didn't let Tony waste much time in this room. He ran out in the direction of the gunfire.

Henry, who was following behind, could only sigh, is this the difference between a useless person and a hero?

Chapter 78 Who is the target?

The incredibly powerful Tony Stark, like a gun god, charged forward with standard tactical moves. Whenever he saw someone with a gun, he'd fire a barrage of shots, and his record was clear.

In fact, it was Henry who was providing support from behind. If Tony's rifle was about to run out, he would fire another shot, sending these gunmen, who were not sure whether they were from the Continental Hotel, on their way.

Along the way, it didn't seem like the other party was killing anyone. Most of the guests and receptionists at the banquet were just herded into the corners of the room like quails.

The gunshots we heard earlier were mostly warning shots. A very small number of people who were mentally unstable, like those high on drugs, would rebel and get shot, and then things would quiet down.

In comparison, Tony and Henry are the ruthless ones...

Those who were hit by Henry still had a chance of survival as long as they were rescued in time, and there would be no doubt about their disability.

Tony's shooting was not very stable. One person fell to the ground after being shot in the head, while another fell to the ground after being shot in the body, but still had a breath left.

Fortunately, Tony Stark didn't have the habit of reshooting, so he rushed to eliminate the threat to the banquet as soon as possible.

Finally, the two of them managed to clear the first floor of the villa. Tony also reminded those who were still alive that the Stark Industries security team would arrive shortly, and that everyone should stay where they were and hide somewhere.

Of course, some brave people picked up the guns brought by the gunmen and ran out with others or alone. These people wanted to leave the villa as soon as possible to avoid being involved in the gunfight.

Just as Henry couldn't stop Tony's actions, Tony Stark couldn't command this group of strangers coming from all directions.

After all, everyone was only responsible for their own lives. It could be argued that the Stark young master wasn't strong enough to be a key figure in this era. Who would stay on the battlefield if they could escape?

Whether to continue cleaning up the second floor or challenge the troublesome open area by the pool was not an option at all. Because Tony had already hidden at the edge of the large French window and saw the scene by the pool.

The scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window was that there were two groups of people controlling everyone by the swimming pool from the front and back.

The girls who were originally in the pool and on the inflatable mattresses were also driven out to the poolside. Whether they were invited guests or the receptionists and playmates sent by the banquet company, they were all crowded together.

One of the groups of gunmen was questioning the group fiercely and even threatening them with a gun.

Tony, who had already discarded his empty rifle and replaced it with a pistol, asked Henry, "Are you sure you can handle one of these groups?"
