His true face had been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James Wesley! Fisk thought, his mind racing. He betrayed me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wesley had access to those files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A senator stormed up to the podium, his face red with indignation. \"Wilson! I demand an explanation! Is this true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A toothpick flew through the air, piercing the senator's forehead and embedding itself deep into his brain. He dropped dead instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullseye stood on a table, grinning maniacally, a toothpick in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... how should I handle the rest of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk tore off his tie. The facade was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them all,\" Fisk ordered calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they all died, he could blame it on a terrorist attack. Or the Ice Demon. He could spin this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of armed men flooded the ballroom, locking the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests screamed, huddling together in terror as they realized the \"Philanthropist\" was about to execute them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap. Clap. Clap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slow, mocking applause echoed from the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure emerged from the shadows behind the podium. He wore a black tactical suit with a hood, and his face was covered by a mask of solid, opaque ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies and gentlemen,\" a raspy, distorted voice boomed. \"The man you admire... is a monster. But tonight, he dies. And you get a front-row seat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent Hall stood on the stage, his eyes glowing blue behind the ice mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Fisk,\" Vincent said. \"Do you like my gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk stared at him, hatred burning in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I built this empire for twenty years,\" Fisk growled, his voice vibrating with rage. \"And you ruined it in twenty seconds. Tonight, only one of us leaves this room alive. Even a demon can bleed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk radiated an aura of pure violence. He looked less like a man and more like a landslide in a tuxedo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naive,\" Vincent scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullseye was already aiming at Vincent's forehead. But he hesitated. Bullets don't work. What about fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naive?\" Fisk roared. \"This is MY city! I am the ill intent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you're safe?\" Fisk continued, his voice dropping to a lethal whisper. \"I know who you are. I will find your friends. I will peel them apart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent didn't even blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His friends?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessica Jones (Super Strength).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen Stacy (Spider-Woman).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good luck with that, Wilson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's getting late. I have school tomorrow,\" Vincent said, checking an invisible watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk realized the Ice Demon wasn't scared. He was bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I'm in a rush,\" Vincent raised his hand. \"I'll show you a new trick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydro-Kinesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moisture in the air condensed rapidly. But instead of freezing externally, Vincent used his magic to seize control of the water inside their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk and his fifty guards were suddenly lifted off the ground, suspended in mid-air as if by invisible strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice Burial: Funeral of Spikes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING! SHING! SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water inside their bloodstreams froze instantly and expanded outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of razor-sharp ice spikes erupted from their pores, piercing their skin from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fisk looked like a porcupine made of red ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body, now devoid of liquid, withered instantly into a desiccated husk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kingpin of Crime was dead before he hit the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent turned and leaped away without a backward glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the ballroom erupted into chaos. Socialites fainted. Grown men wept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice is just solid water, Vincent thought as he escaped. Controlling the phase change inside a living body... that's the ultimate weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspired by Gaara's Sand Burial, but colder. Much colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Vincent channeled his mana again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moisture gathered on his back, forming two massive, crystalline wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Phoenix Wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't need to flap them. He used Hydro-Kinesis to levitate the water within the wings, carrying him through the sky like a jet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soared between the skyscrapers of Manhattan, a blur of blue light, before landing in a secluded parking garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He switched cars and drove back to his penthouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time he got home, the internet was melting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[BREAKING: Ice Demon Executes Wilson Fisk on Live TV!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kingpin Revealed: The Dark Side of Wall Street!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ice Burial: The New Face of Terror!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent checked his System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points (Terror): +6,000... +8,000... +12,000...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The points were flooding in. The whole world now feared the Ice Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malibu. Stark Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony Stark slumped onto his sofa, exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pepper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tony! Watch out! It's Obadiah! He paid the Ten Rings to kill you!\" Pepper Potts screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BZZZZT.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-pitched whine filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony stiffened. His veins bulged, his face went pale. Paralysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember this, Tony?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obadiah Stane stepped out of the shadows, holding a small sonic device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad the government never approved it for non-lethal use. It creates... temporary paralysis. Very effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony couldn't move. He could only watch, eyes wide with betrayal, as Stane loomed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ordered the hit on you, Tony. You were the golden goose. But you survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stane reached into Tony's chest and twisted the Arc Reactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled the glowing heart out of Tony's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your last golden egg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stane held it up, admiring the blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you really think this belonged to you? Your father helped build the atomic bomb. If he was as selfish as you, what would the world look like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony gasped for air, his heart failing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is your legacy, Tony. A new generation of weapons. With this, I will rule the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stane placed the reactor in a briefcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish you could see my prototype. It's... certainly not as elegant as yours, but it gets the job done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stane walked to the door, pausing to look back at the dying man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a shame Pepper got involved. I would have let her live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stane walked out into the night, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the money. He had the power. And now, he had the infinite energy source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to be the most powerful man on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, of course, a certain Ice Demon had something to say about it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","d27600dd90006a21f63945fc06ba49f438ea56dba7ab60a8cd5018637c770350","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-26","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-24",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
