Chapter 161

The guards didn't stop him at all.

[My god... is he really from the research institute?!]

The guy was startled and hurriedly stepped on the gas to leave.

He couldn't afford to mess with people from the research institute...

"Where should I go?"

Pietro looked around the reception area curiously; people in white clothes were coming and going.

"Hello."

The receptionist compared his facial data. "Your information is on file, and it's a priority-one appointment."

"Hey, I knew it!"

Pietro said smugly, "I must be a VIP, right?"

The receptionist took a high-tech, glowing white wristband from a box beside her and handed it to him.

"This is your numbered wristband, Test Subject 3089. It will guide you to the laboratory you need to go to."

Pietro: "?? Test subject?"

"Hmm?"

The receptionist asked strangely, "What's wrong? Aren't you a volunteer test subject? The information verification is correct, isn't it? Pietro Django Maximoff?"

Pietro: "Uh... it's me..."

Receptionist: "Then hurry up and go."

Pietro: "..." (Damn it, what kind of thing did they get me into?)

"The target has been under surveillance."

Qin Feng looked at Mike Peterson's coordinate information. "It seems we've joined a major power."

A clone soldier beside him transmitted Tang Ren's greedy voice.

"Major powers are good! Major powers have lots of money... hiss, it's just that things are a bit weird. I still haven't figured out what this thing I'm playing with is."

Qin Feng: "It... it should be some kind of bionic robot..."

Ned: "You don't know how amazing our club is. Just say..."

Peter: "Alright Ned, stop bragging. We're approaching the target."

Wuennn...

The special action vehicle stopped near an old factory.

"Be careful. The news said this guy just killed someone... and didn't they say these Centipede people explode?"

Song Yi, who was driving, poked his head around, looking a bit cowardly...

"You're controlling a dummy, you're not here yourself, what are you afraid of?"

Tang Ren in the passenger seat pushed him. "Get down there quickly!"

"Oh oh oh..."

The clone controlled by Song Yi pushed the car door open and, along with Tang Ren, took the lead, approaching Mike Peterson's residence...

Tang Ren walked cautiously: "What if we mess up and kill him? I've never killed anyone before..."

"Oh, you and your jinxing mouth."

Song Yi leaned against the wall; Mike Peterson's door was right in front. "Keep it down... I heard the target has a son. Don't start shooting wildly if you get nervous and hit the kid."

"Me, nervous? ...Forget it, why are you dawdling! Charge!"

Peng!

Tang Ren kicked the door open and raised his gun. "Don't move! Nobody move!"

"Ah!"

Ace, the black kid in the room, screamed.

"Eh? Why is it just you?"

Song Yi, who had caught up, asked, "Where's your old man?"

Ace's eyes darted around, and he didn't speak.

Bang!!

A straight punch suddenly came from the shadows by the door, smashing into the head of the clone soldier controlled by Song Yi...

"Damn it! This guy is tough!!"

Tang Ren immediately swung the butt of his gun, striking back at the head of the attacking Mike Peterson. "Blackie! Look at my power!"

Bang!

"Ow!"

The battle in the room broke out instantly.

The sound of crashing and banging continued.

A few minutes later.

Bang—!!

Mike Peterson smashed through the wall and flew backward!

After rolling on the ground a few times, he climbed up and roared, "You! You guys! My wife was taken! My job was taken! My house was taken! What else do you want to do to me!?"

It could be seen that the fire-orange veins on his neck were already faintly visible.

"Hey, calm down."

Peter stepped out of the car and advised him, "I think you've misunderstood. We just need your assistance in an investigation. As long as you cooperate, we won't hurt you."

"I cooperate?"

Mike Peterson imagined something and asked loudly, "Cooperate so you can take me away for experiments!?"

"Calm down. In fact... our organization doesn't even care to use you for experiments..."

Peter took off his sunglasses, revealing his vertical pupils and the green scales at the corners of his eyes.

"I don't know if you've seen the old Lizardman news? I was once as confused and helpless as you, but someone took me in and taught me what to do with my power..."

"You..."

Mike Peterson saw Peter's non-human appearance and heard what he said, and he was stunned for a moment...

[Good chance! This is the moment!]

Ned, who was observing, immediately said on the team communication channel: [Shoot and subdue him!]

[I... I'm aiming...]

Qin Feng, who was hiding, held a special toxin bullet gun, aiming and re-aiming at the target, nervous: [Will this gun really not kill anyone? ...]

[Old Qin, you're still hesitating at a time like this, shoot quickly!]

[But...]

Pia—!!

A distinct gunshot.

A bump appeared on Mike Peterson's head, and the toxin from the cobra venom bullet spread rapidly on his forehead...

Bang!

He fell to the ground.

[Oh, success!]

Ned cheered: [Quick, bag him up!]

Tang Ren praised in the channel: [Old Qin, your shot was really accurate!]

Qin Feng: [Ah? No... it wasn't me...?]

Tang Ren: [What?]

Everyone looked toward the direction the gunshot came from—

They saw a woman put her gun back on her back, then straddle a black motorcycle and twist the throttle to leave quickly.

It was "Maki Matsumoto" and Vinica.

Qin Feng: [Who was that?]

Peter: [Seems like she's a secret member of our team... I don't know anything else...]

Ned said excitedly: [So our team even has a girl! That's great!]

Tang Ren also nodded lecherously: [Although I didn't see clearly, her figure seems pretty good...]

Song Yi: [I saw clearly!]

Four people: [What was she like?]

Song Yi hesitated: [It looked... like she's a chick from Japan, she looks quite good, comparable to Officer Chen...]

Four people: [Wow~]

"Nice! One shot to the head~"

Ye Li's voice came from the metal cabin.

A female researcher knocked gently on the cabin door. "Boss."

"What's wrong? If it's nothing important, I'll play for a while longer."

"That... the volunteer test subject is arriving."

"Oh? Pietro."

Click—

The metal cabin door opened.

Ye Li sat up from inside and said, "This thing is a bit troublesome, have Wilder change me back to the holographic glasses."

"O... okay..."

The female researcher shyly covered her eyes; the boss's bare upper body was too amazing...

Although she wanted to peek a few more times.

But after all, he was the big financier.

She didn't dare to look too much.

After Ye Li put on his shirt and draped his coat over his shoulders.

Pietro also hesitantly... step by step... entered the laboratory under the guidance of the wristband...

"Heh, what's wrong? Scared like this."

Ye Li looked at him like this and felt he looked just like a kid afraid of getting a shot...

"Eh? You're here too?"

Pietro felt a little relieved when he saw Ye Li.

Having an acquaintance made him feel a little less nervous...

"Come on, don't dawdle."

Ye Li pointed to an instrument. "Lie on it."

Pietro's eyes widened: "Are you experimenting on me?"

He suddenly felt even more panicked...

"Don't be afraid, painless, quick."

Ye Li gave Pietro a push—

Click!

The instrument automatically locked him in.

Then.

He continuously injected energy from the Power Stone into a port on the instrument.

"Th... this is starting already?"

Pietro, locked in, said in a panic, "Why do I feel like this is a bit hasty? Won't there be any problems?"

Ye Li comforted him: "Don't worry, there's no risk."

"Phew~"

Pietro let out a breath: "That's good..."

Ye Li: "At most, it's just death, you'll go very peacefully..."

Pietro: "???"

"Let me go!!——!!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the laboratory, the voice of a certain white-haired boy echoed for a while.

"Alright."

Ye Li clapped his hands and released Pietro's restraints.

"You're already a girl now, just stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."

Pietro: "???"

"Although I know you're joking... but..."

"Good thing you know."

Ye Li interrupted his retort and asked, "How is your sister these past two days?"

"Wanda? How else could she be, isn't she still—"

Pietro thought of Ye Li's previous teasing and wanted to counterattack.

He deliberately put on an act, imitating his sister's voice, pinching his throat. "Miss you~ miss you~ miss you~"

Ye Li: ...o_O???

Slap!!

"Ah!!"

A loud slap accompanied Pietro's miserable cry...

"Why did you hit me? My sister hasn't... only hit me a few times!"

"Cough... sorry, Wanda entrusted me—"

Ye Li blew on his palm. "Phew~ If you mock her behind her back, I have to help her discipline her little brother~"

"Really?"

Pietro covered the red mark, his tone full of doubt...

"Of course."

Ye Li wouldn't admit that he just found him too disgusting and annoying and couldn't help but give him a slap...

"Take your time getting used to the changes in your body. I have a good job for you later."

Ye Li handed the simple introduction file of the investigation team to Pietro. "Here."

"Does it come with a job placement?"

Pietro took it skeptically. "So you're leaving?"

Ye Li smiled. "I'm going to help you take care of your sister."

Pietro: You bastard—!

The next day.

Kamar-Taj.

"Pietro succeeded, huh."

Wanda was also very happy to hear the news about her brother. Chaos magic lifted the teapot, and she began to brew tea for Ye Li.

Filtered Himalayan snowmelt water, aged tea leaves collected by the Ancient One, and crimson flames born from thin air...

Combined together, the elegant tea fragrance soon permeated the small room carved with brown wood grain.
