Chapter 60: Want to snipe? I am a 100mm caliber humanoid main battle tank!
When Bullseye took the assassination mission, he was full of confidence, thinking that there was no difficulty at all.
After all, a playboy who has been pampered, even if he is a genius, how could he block a 7.62mm caliber sniper rifle?
As for the hero who rescued Tony from the Ten Rings, Alvin Velsius, he was even less of a concern.
Of course, adhering to the professional ethics of a professional killer, Bullseye still didn't underestimate the other party.
The sniper position he chose was about 150 meters away from the villa in a straight line, and there was mountain rock cover around, and the back was the sea, which was convenient for escaping at any time if an accident occurred.
The AWM sniper rifle was set up. Through the scope, he could clearly see the three people in the villa.
Bullseye had near-perverted accuracy by nature. At a distance of 150 meters, the toothpick he threw could accurately hit the enemy's vital point, not to mention that he had a gun now?
But, things seemed to have deviated a little from what he expected.
That woman's reaction speed was very fast, seeming to instinctively perceive the murderous intent, allowing Alvin, one of the targets, to successfully avoid the first bullet.
"A bit interesting, that woman's feeling is very keen."
Bullseye stuck close to the scope, the corners of his lips lifted a curve, and his mentality was not affected at all.
He was a professional killer. A failed sniping didn't mean anything. On the contrary, the other party's keen perception made him produce a pleasure like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Just like this, like a mouse, run away to your heart's content." He was very good at the cat-and-mouse game, especially when he was forcing their living space bit by bit like now, until the hope was slowly crushed, and then enjoying their fearful expressions, only then could he satisfy his perverted desire.
However, the target named 'Alvin' suddenly stood up from the ground, looking calm, patting the dust on his clothes.
The other party's move made Bullseye's eyes sink slightly, and the original pleasant mood was destroyed.
"Pretending with me?"
He sneered, aimed at Alvin's eyebrows, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Gunsmoke rose from the muzzle as a bullet was propelled from the chamber by gunpowder, destined to pierce Alvin's brow along a precisely calculated trajectory.
Yet, a scene that left Bullseye dumbfounded appeared!
The moment the bullet neared Alvin, it seemed to be affected by some force; its speed gradually decayed until it stopped completely, floating in mid-air.
"Superpower?"
At this moment, Bullseye's pupils constricted, and he immediately sensed danger.
Obadiah's file didn't say this kid possessed 'superpowers'. That damn fat pig actually dared to lie to him?
Even so, retreat was not the first thought in Bullseye's mind.
He locked onto Alvin with his scope and was just about to fire when he saw Alvin tapping the base of the bullet with his index finger.
"What is he doing?"
This thought occupied his mind briefly before Bullseye suddenly sensed an unprecedented signal of danger!
He became a professional assassin not by relying on a perfect throwing ability, but on a keen instinct for danger, much like animals that sense life-threatening disasters before they arrive.
And at this moment, that bone-chilling cold made Bullseye feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Run!
Bullseye abandoned the mission without hesitation and, with the fastest speed of his life, turned to jump from the cliff into the sea.
But the moment he turned, he heard a piercing shriek!
The sound roared and exploded like a cannonball. Out of the corner of his eye, Bullseye caught a glimpse of a scorching, fiery-red meteor, dragging layers of air-wave tail flames, crashing into the sniper position!
Boom!!!
Within a ten-meter diameter area, air waves churned and surged.
The hard rock wall was directly blasted into a crater, gravel flew, and smoke filled the sky.
Bullseye himself was blown away by the violent shockwave and slammed solidly against the cliff wall!
"This... the fuck is a bullet?!"
The massive impact nearly knocked Bullseye unconscious.
His ears temporarily lost their hearing, leaving only a buzzing sound, and blood poured from his nose and mouth due to the explosion.
If he weren't certain that what he saw earlier was a 7.62mm sniper bullet, Bullseye would have suspected he had been hit point-blank by a 100mm main battle tank!
Bullseye's mind was a blank slate; he clearly hadn't fully regained his senses.
No, man, a 7.62mm bullet that can hit with the power of a 100mm artillery shell—are you a human main battle tank?
Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to get away from the center of the explosion in time, otherwise, he would be in pieces by now.
Can't fight this, I'm out, goodbye!
Once he recovered from the dizziness of the explosion, Bullseye didn't dare stay a second longer and ran toward the seaside like his life depended on it.
"Damn Obadiah!" He cursed that fat pig for not investigating the intel thoroughly beforehand.
What do you mean 'a kid who is a little bit capable'?
This is clearly a human main battle tank; one bullet almost sent him to meet God!
How much does the job pay a month? How many lives do I have to be blasted away by someone like this?
The mission, the assassin's honor, the job—all of it was thrown aside by Bullseye at this moment.
He didn't care if Obadiah lived or died; if he got blasted by that kid one more time, he'd lose all his lives!
"Thinking of running now? Too late!"
After sensing the opponent's intention to escape, Alvin's temper flared, and he manipulated his psychic power to fly straight out.
Boom!
The violent sound waves stirred up by the psychic power swept across the entire living room like a physical force.
When they looked again, Alvin had already turned into a streak of light, flying toward the sniper's position.
"Gulp!"
Back in the silent living room, looking at the mess on the floor and the huge hole blasted into the wall by that thing suspected to be a 'bullet', both of them fell into silence.
Black Widow and Tony looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
After half a second of silence, Tony's eye twitched as he asked: "If I didn't see wrong just now, did he turn a bullet into the power of a main battle tank's artillery shell?"
"It seems... that is the case."
Black Widow swallowed hard, her heart churning with massive waves.
Although she already knew Alvin had the suspected ability to control objects, she never imagined... he could turn a bullet into such terrifying lethality!
Fortunately, S. H. I. E. L. D. hadn't gotten into a conflict with this guy back then, otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what would have happened.
He turned his head and dropped a sentence to Black Widow: "Take care of Tony, I'll be right back!"
On the other side.
Bullseye was cursing Obadiah in the depths of his heart, using every ounce of his strength to leap from the edge of the cliff.
Although he was an assassin, his physical fitness was quite formidable, possessing strength and speed no less than an Olympic champion; as long as he could jump into the sea, he would escape successfully!
Alas, things did not go as he wished.
Bullseye had just leaped into mid-air, his posture extremely standard and elegant, even having prepared his entry into the water.
Suddenly, a force grabbed his ankle, and his whole body stopped comically and ridiculously in mid-air, less than a meter from the sea surface.
"What's the situation?"
Bullseye's mind was a bit chaotic; before he could figure out what had happened, he felt an irresistible force coming from his ankle.
Immediately after, like a big fish caught on a hook, he was dragged into the air by that force, then traced a beautiful arc, and was slammed heavily against the cliff!
Boom!
This violent impact nearly knocked Bullseye unconscious.
Smashed against the rock wall like a dead fish, if his bones hadn't been infused with Adamantium, he would have turned into a pulp of meat long ago.
But even so, the violent impact still caused Bullseye's internal organs to rupture, blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, his vision was obscured by blood-red, and the whole world became blurred.
"Where is Pepper Potts?"
At this time, Alvin stepped on Bullseye's chest and questioned him coldly.
"Cough... cough cough..." Bullseye was battered and exhausted, coughing up blood mixed with shattered internal organs, looking like he was on the verge of death.
But even so, he was still laughing wildly, looking at Alvin hideously: "Want to know? Kneel down and beg me, hahaha!"
Although Bullseye cherished his life, in essence, he was actually a complete lunatic with inherent mental problems.
Facing Alvin's interrogation, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed wantonly, staring at him with hideous, blood-red eyes: "Want to know? Kneel down and beg me, hahaha!"
"Very good, I like it when you don't cooperate."
Looking at Bullseye, who was still provoking him, Alvin revealed a heartfelt smile, stroked Bullseye's face, and whispered softly: "I hope your mouth can be as hard as your Adamantium skeleton later, Mr. Lester~ make sure to hold on."
