Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

There were many collapsed buildings, wrecked cars, blood flowing everywhere, and piles of demon corpses.

Under the illumination of the lights, this scene perfectly captures the silence, solemnity, power, and holiness of Astartes.

Chapter 172 The Public Opinion Erupts Completely, Sparking Global Discussion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"They are so cool. They are the bravest warriors. They saved us all. Even those guys who died were a bunch of criminals who took advantage of the chaos. Innocent people are still alive."

"They must be messengers sent by God. They have been silently protecting us, protecting the earth, and fighting against those demons."

How do you know it's a demon?

"Please, go watch Professor Winston's videos, man. He's an expert in this field. He analyzed those videos and images frame by frame, comparing them with the Bible and other books about demons. He's confirmed that those monsters are the legendary demons."

"Shit, these armored warriors are too powerful. Every move they make carries superhuman strength, and they can easily slaughter those damned demons."

"I woke up to find that the Manhattan Invasion had gone viral online. I thought it was a trailer for some big movie, but it turns out it's real."

"Yes, man, there are videos and footage all over the internet. You can go check them out. It's really hard to believe that there really are demons in this world."

"I'm more interested in knowing what these female warriors are. I love them; they're practically Valkyries."

"Trust me, man, they were so beautiful. I was there in Manhattan. My girlfriend and I were on a date when those damn monsters attacked us. A lady in a red trench coat saved us. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture because they were so fast."

"Believe me, they must all come from the same organization. This world is not as peaceful as we think. There are demons and other terrible monsters. They are the ones who are silently protecting us."

"Perhaps mutants are demons too, so why don't those guys kill mutants?"

"Fuck, mutants are human too."

"Look at the Manhattan sky. Someone filmed something that looks like a vortex overhead. Those demons are pouring in from there. That must be the Gates of Hell. Someone opened the Gates of Hell, but suddenly disappeared. Were they closed by those warriors?"

This scene sparked a flood of discussion posts.

This is just one example.

This major event has gone viral, becoming the biggest news story in the world.

At the same time, everyone is also concerned about several issues.

Were those monsters really demons? Why did the demons' corpses suddenly disappear after the war, and where did those mysterious and powerful warriors go?

Besides demons, are there angels in this world? Are the legends in mythology true?

Immediately, all sorts of speculations emerged.

Panic, excitement, fear, and despair have spread completely.

As for the main figures in the Manhattan incident.

Nature has now completely returned to the island base.

The soldiers from both battle groups had experienced the battle of Manhattan and didn't have much emotion. They were even a little excited afterward, but they quickly calmed down.

Because it's too simple.

If it weren't for the premise of protecting innocent civilians, which made them somewhat hesitant, they probably could have killed even faster.

It's impossible to be proud.

Those demons were the lowest-level demons, monsters to ordinary people. In comparison, the two major war groups were the real monsters.

So after things calmed down, everyone returned to normal.

However, the following evening, at Matthew's command, the dinner party began.

After a fierce battle, no matter how difficult it was, a relaxed and joyful dinner party is an essential part of the experience.

As a result, the base became exceptionally lively at night.

On the crescent-shaped beach of the island, bonfires, bright lights and music equipment, beer, and a large amount of food that had been prepared in advance were all brought over.

The logistics team and chefs were not involved in this dinner.

This is a victory banquet for the two major warbands.

Although the logistics troops and cooks didn't help, they joined the dinner and enjoyed the delicious food cooked and grilled by Astartes and the ravens.

On the bustling beach, some Astartes and logistics troops, dressed in simple T-shirts, unbuttoned beach shirts, and beach shorts, were drinking beer, tearing apart roasted whole lamb or beef, and loudly boasting.

Some sat quietly in front of the campfire, listening to the noise around them and the distant waves, enjoying the atmosphere.

Some carried several bottles of wine, barefoot, walking on the beach, drinking, laughing, and chatting while stepping on the waves.

Some were playing games, some were mixing drinks at a makeshift bar, and some were singing heartily on stage with microphones, surrounded by cheers from their companions.

The youngest, Skye and Jessica, were incredibly excited and ran around everywhere.

Skye and Jessica were not ostracized because of their youth; on the contrary, everyone liked the two girls.

Whether it's Jessica, who has a fiery temper and loves to speak eloquently, or Skye, who is gentle to the point of being socially awkward, they are all their family and companions.

There's no such thing as integration.

On the entire island, everyone is part of a collective, whether it's the Astartes, the ravens, the logistics troops, the cooks, or the technology department.

It's a positive and uplifting atmosphere. Once you join, no one has any ulterior motives. They all know that everyone is a loyal warrior for the leader, striving for the same goal.

Reicher, Natasha, Nigley, Kara, Melina, and others, with the same authority of the leadership, laughed just like ordinary soldiers.

Even Matthew, the leader, joined in.

He doesn't need to distance himself from his subordinates, maintain his authority, or remain alone like other so-called leaders.

Matthew always knew one thing: to be open-minded.

All he needs to do is make himself happy.

He may have the authority of a leader when necessary, but he doesn't need it in this way.

It won't be forced or compelled to do so.

No one can force him to do that.

Everyone knows.

At a campfire on the beach, Matthew, dressed in simple beach shorts and a shirt, fiddled with the grill, turning the bamboo skewers to ensure the skewered beef and lamb were perfectly grilled over the charcoal.

The enticing aroma of roasted meat made Matthew a little hungry.

So when the skewers were ready, I picked them up to eat, but before I could even get them to my mouth, a small, fair hand reached out and snatched them away.

Matthew turned his head in astonishment and saw Skye.

The girl smiled and easily swiped the meat skewer near her mouth, and all the grilled meat on the bamboo skewer went into her mouth.

Chewing with puffed-out cheeks is quite adorable.

But Matthew found the girl utterly repulsive, so he yelled "Skye!" and ran over to grab her by the neck, ready to shake her violently and show her what the boss's wrath was like.

The girl wasn't scared at all; she laughed and ran away.

Chapter 173 Changing Gwen's Fate (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

So you see Skye running around Reicher, Natasha, Bucky and the others sitting there, eating a skewer of grilled meat in her hand.

Behind him is the enraged BOSS Matthew.

The sight made everyone burst into laughter, and Negri even whistled and shouted loudly.

"That's great, girl, you're the best warrior, you challenged the BOSS, don't let the BOSS catch you."

"Hahaha, the BOSS is catching up with you soon, Skye."

"Trust me, Skye, you'd better finish all the skewers."

Many soldiers around them laughed and cheered along.

Jessica even ran over, intending to show her loyalty and stop Skye, but was grabbed and hugged by several pretty nurses from the medical department.

This is a great opportunity; they don't get many chances like this.

Soft and elastic muscles.

Skye, like a husky letting its true nature run wild, dashed around the crowd, while Matthew was as swift as a cheetah craving syrup.

In the end, Skye couldn't escape the BOSS's clutches and was eventually grabbed by the neck.

Skye, looking pitiful, hunched over in mid-air, her big eyes wide open, trying to evoke pity from the BOSS.

Unfortunately, the ruthless Matthew, with a fierce smile, grabbed Skye's neck under his armpits and then used his chin to twist Skye's head violently.

"Ah, I was wrong, Boss, it hurts, no!"

Skye felt like her head was being drilled through, and the girl screamed and begged for mercy in pain.

Unfortunately, Matthew completely ignored him.

After tormenting and ravaging her for a while, he proudly let go, looking at Skye who was covering her head with a pained expression and tears welling up in her eyes, and he grumbled something.

"This is the price for angering the BOSS, understand?"

"Next time, I'll be using Armament Haki."

The threat terrified Skye, turning her face pale.

He couldn't even imagine how painful it would be to use Armament Haki, so he quickly nodded and gave a fawning smile, indicating that he would never dare to do it again.

Seeing the girl's obedient and honest appearance, Matthew nodded in satisfaction and then left leisurely.

He left behind a group of disappointed and frustrated colleagues.

"Too weak, Skye."

"Yeah, that's terrible, Skye. Why don't you dare to fight the boss?"

“You must be fired by Minister Negri, Skye.”

Skye was furious and yelled, "Why don't you guys dare to fight the BOSS?"

The surrounding soldiers laughed and didn't respond, then pretended to be nonchalant, putting their arms around each other's shoulders and turning around to drink and chat, acting as if they were too busy to understand what the other person was talking about.

Skye snorted and made a face at these pretentious guys to show her disdain.

"I hate you all."

Skye tilted her little head back, not even wiping her eyes. Her eyes darted around, and taking advantage of her pitiful appearance, she quickly went to find the older brothers and sisters to freeload.

She's terrible at grilling.

I simply can't eat it.

Skye darted off again in a flash, a sight that made Matthew, who was sitting down, burst into laughter.

"She's become more lively."

Natasha, who was standing nearby, picked up a bottle of beer and handed it to Matthew, then said softly.

Everyone knew that Matthew was deliberately fooling around with Skye.

"This is a good thing. Many things kept in one's heart will eventually come out." Melina, a mature and sophisticated woman, was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts. Compared to her usual seriousness, she looked more like an older sister now.

The others nodded in agreement.

Psychological issues are very important; otherwise, once they erupt, they can easily lead to serious problems.

There are too many people like this in America.

Every year, a large number of people suffer serious incidents due to mental health issues.

This is especially true for their special group.

Fortunately, Skye is young enough that she has plenty of things to deal with and fix.

After the minor incident, Matthew, Rachel, and the others chatted happily.

For example, Reicher wanted to recruit his former comrades from the Survey Corps.
