Chapter 959: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe Chapter 521

Hawk thanked Administrator Mark for his invitation, then smiled slightly: "But, no need."

Upon hearing this, Administrator Mark looked at Hawk.

Their eyes met.

Administrator Mark understood and said nothing more.

"Take care, we sincerely wish for you and your wife to find your daughter."

"Thank you."

"Goodbye, Mr. Phoenix."

"Goodbye, Mark."

Hawk smiled slightly.

Administrator Mark said no more, and with the help of his guards, he climbed into the van; shortly after, the two vans carrying the less than twenty surviving mutants sped away from the scene.

Meanwhile.

From the distant streets came the wailing of police sirens, late but arriving.

Hearing Wanda listened to the sirens and looked at Hawk.

"What now?"

"Next..."

Hearing this, Hawk looked up again at the vast sky: "Do you think this Sentinel Services, or whatever it is, is watching us with a satellite right now?"

Hearing Wanda raised an eyebrow.

"It's possible."

"So the Sentinel Services has noticed us now?"

"Very likely."

Hearing Wanda nodded, following Hawk's gaze, and looked up at the vast sky: "There is indeed a satellite pointed at us."

"I see."

The corners of Hawk's mouth gradually curled upward, and he looked at Hearing Wanda again: "Do you know when I started to gain the fear of the federal government?"

Hearing Wanda looked at Hawk and blinked: "Fear? I thought the federal government respected you."

Hawk laughed.

"I did want them to respect me."

"And then?"

"They took my respect for weakness and tried to provoke me again and again."

Hawk's voice was calm as he recounted the path he had taken: "So, after that, I understood a truth: I don't need their respect, I only need them to fear me."

Respect comes from the heart.

But fear comes from instinct.

Just like a tiger; even if it does nothing and just stands there quietly, any small animal that smells the tiger's scent will tremble in fear, unable to help itself, and some will even play dead on the spot, hoping the tiger will mistake them for a corpse and not cast its gaze upon them.

That is exactly what Hawk did in his original universe.

He did not need the respect of the federal government or anyone other than the friends he had chosen; he only needed these people to fear him.

And Hawk was very successful at it.

He used the threat of wiping out families, or even entire races, and endless bloodshed to earn the fear of the federal government and almost everyone who knew of his existence.

"So..."

Hawk said this, smiled slightly, and looked at Hearing Wanda: "Guess how much blood I need to spill here to make the federal government and this Sentinel Services understand this truth?"

Hearing Wanda arched her eyebrows, meeting the smiling Hawk.

"So much for steady development."

"I was thinking about steady development."

"But?"

"I also like to nip danger in the bud."

Hawk's voice was low, as if he could see the Sentinel satellite watching them from high above: "Police need evidence, I don't. I only need to suspect that the Sentinel Services might become a problem for me, and that's enough."

As he spoke.

The arriving police cars had already screeched to a halt not far away, and one after another, New York police officers jumped out with guns drawn, aiming them at the two figures who, instead of fleeing, were just standing there talking.

"Don't move."

"Drop your... put your hands up!"

"Damn it, put your hands up!"

"..."

The officers' voices barked incessantly, accompanied by the wailing of sirens.

Hawk's mouth curled up, and under the gaze of the officers, he lifted off the ground with Hearing Wanda in his arms, his speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second.

"Boom!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the sonic boom cloud that suddenly appeared beneath Hawk, a burst of violent wind swept out in a ring, instantly shattering the glass of the arriving police cars, while all the officers were forced to retreat repeatedly by the fierce gale, unable to keep their eyes open.

And when they opened their eyes again.

Before them.

Hawk and Hearing Wanda had already vanished.

"Where are they?"

"Have you locked onto them?"

"Shit, they're so fast."

"Where are they going?"

At the Sentinel Services operations command center, the Sentinel satellite had firmly locked onto Hawk as he flew at high speed through the high atmosphere.

Stryker's eyes narrowed.

For some reason, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

But...

Mutants, mutants even more powerful than Hawk, he had seen before, and he had even killed them.

So!

"Lock onto them. Once they land, notify the Strategic Support Force to deploy immediately. Tell them I want this one alive."

"Yes."

The sentinel listened to his boss's voice and quickly nodded in response.

After Stryker finished speaking, he looked at Hawk on the big screen again, his eyes flickering.

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Quantico!"

Holding Hearing Wanda, with his small universe energy suppressed, Hawk could only fly toward Quantico at supersonic speed, communicating with Hearing Wanda in his mind: "This is Earth, so whoever provokes me, I hit the military."

As everyone knows.

The reason Hawk could maintain his deterrent power in his original universe was partly because he killed until everyone was terrified, and partly because he had the soldiers to argue his case for him.

Anyway, no matter who provoked him, he would hit the military. If the military wanted to reason, fine, bring him the heads of those who tried to provoke him first.

So in this situation, if someone wanted to move against Hawk, Hawk would move against the Pentagon, and the Pentagon would move against those idiots who wanted to move against Hawk.

It formed a closed loop.

Actually, logically speaking, Hawk had thought about going straight to the Pentagon.

But...

In his original universe, he went to the Pentagon because he had already built his fearsome reputation before he arrived; so when he first appeared, all the military bigwigs who knew him instantly switched from proud eagles to trembling quails, which is why they obediently went to fry squid for him after his show of force.

But this current Earth is a brand-new Earth.

No one knows who he is.

And Hawk must admit one thing: on this Earth with mutants, the people here are very stubborn.

And not just ordinarily stubborn.

Although half the reason Earthlings are so stubborn against mutants might be because there is a dove-faction mutant on their side, it is clear that the Earthlings here are the type who won't submit unless you beat them until they hurt, beat them until they're crippled, and even if you beat them until they hurt, as long as you don't kill them, they won't submit to you.

Fortunately.

Hawk specializes in curing stubbornness.

Let's start with Quantico.

After all, from a certain perspective, Quantico belongs to his place of origin.

In 2012, he started his journey to become stronger from Quantico, and after years of effort and struggle, he possessed the great power he has today.

So—

It is very reasonable for him to start from Quantico this time as well.

Soon.

Quantico arrived.

Hawk held Hearing Wanda, braked his body, stopped instantly from supersonic speed, and looked down at the busy Quantico military base below.

The next second.

He looked up again toward the high sky.

Colonel William Stryker, who was in the Sentinel operations hall, felt his heart skip a beat as he looked at the mocking gaze of Hawk through the screen.

"No, quickly tell Quantico..."

"Boom!"

"..."
