Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Therefore, Wanda was able to surpass Pietro entirely because she took advantage of this high-risk, low-reward margin for error.

This result made Pietro feel a little better.

Of course, he was mostly happy.

The twins gained immense power, but they didn't have any desire to rush to America and kill Tony Stark.

Instead, they preserved it as a source of motivation.

The twins were able to join the base by also taking an oath to the Emperor.

It's not a dry, monotonous declaration.

It is a cleansing of the soul.

The twins witnessed firsthand the miracles performed by Emperor Matthew, and as for the Sokovians, he used his mercy to end the war and dispel the gloom.

They quickly established a government and promoted reforms to develop Sokovia.

These events, scene by scene, were all witnessed by the twins themselves.

During those days, the twins saw smiling faces full of anticipation and joy, and they saw young children wearing warm, clean down jackets, pants, and shoes, holding hands and running happily in the streets.

That was the scene the two siblings had dreamed of countless days and nights.

For those who have been in darkness and experienced despair, these personal experiences are equivalent to a spiritual cleansing.

Wanda and Pietro are young, and many of their ideas are not mature.

But I know one thing: be grateful.

Gratitude and reverence easily transform into loyalty.

This is the tone that Matthew set.

Loyalty born from fear of power and reverence for authority is indeed easy to obtain, but it is also more likely to become something else entirely.

The superiors set an example for the subordinates.

Matthew develops divinity, but also retains the warmth of humanity.

This kind of loyalty is unwavering until death.

Reich, Negri, and others who have never experienced darkness, such as Natasha and Melina, remain loyal to Matthew because of the principles he upholds.

If Matthew simply uses force to intimidate people, would these people still be loyal to him given their personalities?

All that will remain is fear; they will be reduced to killing machines devoid of any agency.

Like that old geezer Drekeff.

This kind of brainwashing is consensual, a win-win situation for everyone, and it's all about mutual benefit.

Wanda and Pietro are examples of this.

Because of the loyalty that arose between them, the two suppressed their drive for hatred and obeyed orders and trained accordingly.

However, suppressing this hatred actually became a driving force for progress.

The two siblings must become stronger, strong enough to become warriors of the three major battle groups. After avenging their grievances, they will steadfastly follow the Emperor and develop and expand the empire.

To enable people to live more peaceful and better lives.

I don't want any more children to experience the same suffering as the two siblings.

However, the intensity of this training is truly extraordinary.

The training schedule is very flexible, with plenty of rest and free time every day. The base also offers many recreational activities, including the ability to receive signals from other countries to watch TV and binge-watch shows.

For game enthusiasts, there's a wide variety of game consoles, a pool table, a basketball court, and a soccer field.

Of course, sports are slightly different.

Because these areas are protected by gravity magic.

Otherwise, with their level of physique, sports would become war, and they would often turn into a superhuman version of football, with all sorts of physics-defying thunderous shots, miraculous kicks, and so on.

In basketball, the famous TV series "Basketball Fire" features Karami.

Even the basketball god Michael Jordan is no match for a rookie here.

Therefore, under the constraints of gravity-based sports economy and intensity regulation pressure, the activity frequency and intensity can generally be maintained at a similar level as that of ordinary people.

Playing can also train, killing two birds with one stone.

The women here have just as many options. With one portal, they can shop in every country in the world. The logistics and information departments have long since registered identities in multiple countries, making it so seamless that no one can find any problems.

They don't need to worry about status or money; they only need to think about what to buy.

Simply gather at a specific location at a designated time and then return to base.

The benefits are top-notch.

Wanda and Pietro couldn't help but praise it as paradise, but the intensity of the training sessions was truly outrageous.

It's the kind of thing that would make an ordinary person explode at first glance.

Fortunately, both of them had very strong recovery abilities after receiving the serum injection; otherwise, they might not have been able to persevere.

Chapter 221 Tony Stark's Wrath (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Regardless, after gritting her teeth and persevering through the past few days of training, Wanda has basically been able to keep up with her teammates.

Of course, there is still a significant gap in physical strength.

Although she was injected with the latest version of the serum, the other soldiers received the same treatment.

It was earlier than her in terms of time.

Starting at the same level, a longer training period naturally leads to greater strength.

However, Wanda was completely different after she came into contact with magic.

After being exposed to magic, Wanda immediately took off like a rocket, progressing from basic introductory magical knowledge and theory to hands-on practice. In just a few days, she had already surpassed her companions.

Even Nyddy, the leader of the Grey Knights, and Mordo, who trained with her, exclaimed that it was an exaggeration.

The latter, in particular, is simply unbelievable.

When Mordo arrived here, he had already discovered that these people were all freaks. Not to mention their physical strength, their magical talent was also top-notch in his opinion.

Casillas was already an outstanding genius back then, but he was still far inferior to these people.

Now Wanda tells Mordo that there are other experts out there.

After Mordo paid close attention to Wanda for a while, he went into seclusion.

Because Mordo discovered what the power within Wanda was called.

That was a power that all mages longed for.

Chaos magic.

This is not a secret in the brief history of magic in Kamar-Taj, and it is also known to be one of the three oldest forces in the universe.

The power of the phoenix, chaos magic, and fairy power.

Mordo never imagined that he would actually meet someone with chaos magic in his lifetime.

It's impossible to say it's not sour.

But what else can we do?

Naturally, he was wholeheartedly dedicated to training them. Although Mordo hadn't been training these warriors with Nydy for very long, many things weren't particularly secretive to him.

At least I know what serum is.

Matthew also specifically solved the energy problem for these warriors, though Mordo didn't know the source of that energy.

All I know is that these warriors certainly don't lack energy.

At the same time, Matthew's philosophy was a perfect fit for Mordo.

Justice, order, protection.

These are the principles that Mordo adheres to, so Mordo is figuring out what kind of gorgeous sliding motion to use.

Kamar-Taj isn't as appealing anymore.

Of course, Mordo had no intention of betraying them. Mordo wasn't stupid. Despite his stubbornness, the fact that he was valued by the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, meant that he was at least intelligent and talented.

It's clear what the Venerable One meant by throwing him over here.

Since the Venerable One intends to do this, there is no need for Modu to insist.

So Mordo decided to work hard to impress his next boss.

Modu also wants to improve.

Fortunately, Mordo did not give Wanda any special treatment just because she possessed chaos magic, and treated everyone equally.

It's just my personality.

Wanda had a good impression of the magic assistant instructor who taught her.

Although the other party often had a cold face.

Wanda trained hard here, never expecting that the enemy she considered her enemy would now be in a rage.

......

Inside the luxurious living room of a New York oceanfront villa.

Tony Stark stared at the projected image in front of him, his face ashen.

He couldn't help but curse.

"Fuck, he's such a good uncle to me."

The projected screen contained information he had gathered during this period that he was completely unaware of.

Smuggling information.

The smuggled goods were none other than weapons from Stark Industries.

Since World War II, his brilliant father, Howard Stark, has propelled Stark Industries to become the world's most outstanding arms company.

Tony displayed amazing intelligence and talent from a young age.

He took over the company left by his father and, along the way, used his genius to continuously develop and innovate a series of powerful weapons, which earned him the favor of the Ministry of Defense.

It can be said that the orders they receive from the Ministry of Defense each year are enough to make other arms groups look on their heels.

Therefore, Tony Stark never gave it a second thought.

smuggling.

Besides the fact that the contracts signed with the Ministry of Defense stipulated restrictions on the sale of arms to other countries, he himself also looked down on the profits from smuggling.

After all, Stark Industries is not only an arms company, but also covers many other profitable areas.

To his utter surprise, the person he trusted most, his uncle Obadiah, was behind his back and engaged in this smuggling business.

It's worth noting that Obadiah Stanislav was a close friend and business partner of his father, Howard Stark, and served as CEO of Stark Industries for a time after his father's death.

He was like a father figure to Tony.

Therefore, he completely delegated many things in the company to Obadiah.

Tony believed Obadiah.

However, this trust vanished as Tony investigated on his own.

"That's great."

Tony gritted his teeth.

Looking at the confidential order document obtained by the AI ​​Jarvis after hacking into Obadiah's private computer, which contains details of the sellers who purchased the weapons over the years, and the profits from each sale are very detailed.

Its sellers include African warlords, Latin American drug lords, European gangs, and more.

The profits earned each year gradually increased. After his father and mother died, the other party, who was acting as CEO, had gradually established black market channels.
