Chapter 1: Signing in for twenty-five years, Silver Superman

Dear Karl.

I am very interested in your bar in Queens; perhaps one million dollars is a fair price.

In three days, I will bring people to the bar to discuss the relevant matters with you.

I believe you will not refuse me; after all, you wouldn't want any accidents to happen, would you?

……

New York City, Queens Street.

It is already late at night, yet under the brilliant neon lights, this city is even more dazzling than during the day.

In a luxurious apartment.

Karl is currently sitting on the sofa, his right hand clenched tight, crumpling the letter in his grip into a ball.

"To think I'd run into such a piece of work, threatening me..."

Throwing the letter away, he picks up an exquisite wine glass.

Taking a sip of fine wine and looking at the delicate, beautiful neon lights outside the window, Karl sighs softly, "Truly a fine view." Twenty-four years ago, Karl came to this world.

As he grew older, he learned that the city he was in was called New York City.

Originally, Karl thought he had simply arrived in a city on the other side of the ocean.

Until... he saw the Steve Rogers Memorial Hall.

That is to say, Captain America.

Anyone with a slight understanding of Marvel would know what kind of place this is.

This is an extremely dangerous world.

Aliens, superheroes, supervillains...

This place possesses many powerful beings, and even the gods of ancient legends exist here.

Of course, this world is also very interesting; after all, the Marvel world has all sorts of superheroes.

Along with Karl came a sign-in system.

This could be considered standard equipment.

It is just that his sign-in system is different from those in the novels of his past life.

Karl's sign-in system not only allows him to sign in at various locations every day.

He can even accumulate sign-ins.

Pre-set a sign-in time, for example, one or two years.

Then, when the scheduled time arrives, the sign-in will be completed.

The longer the sign-in time, the more powerful the rewards obtained.

After two consecutive days of signing in and receiving nothing but powdered milk, Karl made a decision he somewhat regretted.

Sign in in New York City for twenty-five years!

As of now, Karl has already been signing in in New York for twenty-four years.

The result is that he is still an ordinary person.

Well, an ordinary person with black hair and black eyes, handsome and wealthy.

Ever since coming to this world, Karl was adopted by a wealthy, single businessman over fifty years of age.

Karl Smith.

This is the name the old man gave him.

Although it is a bit strange for an Easterner to use such a name.

But out of gratitude for the man's upbringing, Karl has always used this name.

A few years ago, that kind old gentleman passed away. Billions of dollars in assets had long since been transferred to Karl's name by the old gentleman through legal channels.

Among them were some properties and two bars. ===== CHAPTER 3 =====

And the old gentleman's own company, as well as shares in several other companies.

It is worth mentioning that after realizing this was the Marvel world, Karl spent several years organizing his assets.

First, he sold his own company, then sold most of his shares in other companies.

Such operations earned him a large sum of cash.

Afterward, Karl invested in some other companies.

Such as Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, Pym Technologies, and Oscorp.

These are the companies of Iron Man, Iron Man's villain, the original Ant-Man, and the original Green Goblin, respectively.

After all, he only knew of these companies, as he vaguely remembered them from watching Marvel in his past life.

Because of this operation, Karl's assets increased more than tenfold in a few years.

Today, he has assets worth tens of billions of dollars.

The letter he threw into the trash can had appeared in his bar at some unknown time.

The signatory was Wilson Grant Fisk.

This name looks confusing.

But he has a nickname: Kingpin.

Karl knows this character.

He is a supervillain, known as the underground emperor of the United States, and seems very formidable.

Perhaps some people haven't heard of him.

But this person's opponents are quite famous.

The most famous among them is the good citizen of Queens, Spider-Man.

There are also Daredevil, the Punisher, and even the X-Men and the Fantastic Four are his enemies.

Because he has many underground businesses, it can be said that he is in an adversarial relationship with many superheroes.

For some reason, he recently took a fancy to Karl's bar and wanted to make it his own.

Honestly, Karl is currently just an ordinary person. Although he has practiced fighting techniques since he was a child.

But if it really came to a fight, he is no match for Kingpin.

But for the other party to force a sale on a bar he didn't want to sell is quite annoying.

Originally, when Karl sold his own company and the shares of other companies, he didn't sell the two bars he had.

The purpose was naturally that he didn't want to sell them, and he could go there for a drink when he had nothing to do.

And now you come to me with a forced sale?

Actually, Karl isn't very afraid; he had already found Peter Parker, that is, Spider-Man, at Midtown High School.

It's just that the other party is still an ordinary person and hasn't been bitten by the mutated spider yet.

Karl has been keeping an eye on Peter Parker's movements, preparing to take a step ahead and snatch the mutated spider.

Although Spider-Man is a hero he is very fond of, in this situation, he can only say sorry.

Originally, Karl wasn't in a hurry regarding the mutated spider.

He just treated it as a backup plan.

But now, a villain like Kingpin has suddenly appeared.

The mutated spider can no longer be counted on.

It looks like he still has to rely on his system.

Karl looks up at the clock.

11:55.

Five more minutes until his sign-in time.

At that time, the reward for Karl's twenty-five years of signing in will finally be obtained.

He is very much looking forward to this reward.

If the system, after twenty-five years of signing in, still can't give anything good, then Karl might as well just transfer the bar business.

At worst, he'll spend money to hire a supervillain to assassinate Kingpin, or wait until he has the ability to take revenge later.

Karl picks up his wine glass and waits quietly. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
