Chapter 968: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 526

Although his legs were trembling now, his mouth remained stubborn.

Hawk listened to Shi Cuike’s frantic barking, his expression not changing in the slightest.

It was nothing more than the wailing of a defeated dog.

He had lost count of how many times he had heard such death-bed wailing, and he had long since become immune to it; besides, compared to stubbornness before death, he admired those who remained silent and met their end with composure.

For example, Alexander Pierce.

He was a villain, but a competent one who would stop at nothing, yet when he lost, he lost; he didn't beg for mercy, nor did he seek a quick end, he simply drank a glass of wine and met his death with composure.

This William Shi Cuike before him?

Hawk only glanced at him once before losing interest, opening his right hand.

But just at this moment.

The two Sentinels holding Shi Cuike took a step backward.

Hawk raised an eyebrow and looked toward the variant of General Thaddeus Ross here.

"You have the Shi Cuike you wanted, drop the barrier."

"Heh."

Upon hearing this, Hawk was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a laugh, looking at Thaddeus Ross: "General Ross, are you trying to negotiate terms with me?"

General Ross remained expressionless.

"This is a deal, we agreed on it, what, is Mr. Phoenix not planning to honor it?"

"That's right."

"What?"

The expression on General Ross’s face could no longer hold.

Hawk’s lips curled upward: "Since Shi Cuike is already inside, I am considering whether I should just kill all of you; after all, I feel that once you leave here, you might immediately order a strike to kill me at any cost."

General Ross frowned: "I can guarantee you that this will not happen."

Hawk scoffed: "Your guarantees are worthless to me, especially yours, General Ross. By the way, did I tell you that in my universe, I killed both you and your daughter?"

General Ross’s expression shifted.

Hawk’s voice was calm as he looked at General Ross, recounting how he had killed General Ross in his own universe, as well as Betty Ross, and how he had scattered the ashes of the Ross family.

There was a time, a place, and the people involved.

What’s more...

Hawk told the story quite vividly, and after finishing briefly, he looked at General Ross: "So, General Ross, I have a personal vendetta against you, and you are a hardliner, so guess whether I should let you go."

General Ross’s heart surged, his mind flashing with the images of his other-universe self being cruelly murdered by the Hawk before him and his family graveyard being completely scattered, and upon hearing Hawk’s words, he took a deep breath.

"What exactly do you want, Mr. Phoenix."

"One thing at a time, the sun hasn't set yet, General Ross."

Hawk’s expression was calm.

General Ross looked into Hawk’s eyes, took another deep breath, closed his eyes, and raised his right hand to wave it.

The two Sentinels understood and pushed Shi Cuike, whose handcuffs had already been removed, toward Hawk.

As Shi Cuike was pushed toward Hawk, he stumbled, and just as he was about to fall, a sudden flash of light erupted, and with a *swish*, he pulled something out of his pocket.

The next second.
